Ruin Came With
American Rule.
Washington, March 15. That
Porto Bico was governed better un
der Spanish rule than under Amer
ican administration, that the Spanish-American
war and the conse
quent occupation of the island by
tht1 United States has ruined the
coffee industry, the most important
in the island, and that the executive
council, composed largely of Amer
icans, is responsible entirely for the
present crisis, were the declarations
made last night by Luis Muiiez
Rivera, chairman of the Commission
now here. The Commission was
appointed by tho House of Delegates
to lay before President Tuft. Con
gress and the American peoplo the
reasons for the existing conditions
in the island, , and to ask for con
cessions from this country, both in
regard to the form of government
for the island and, on the tariff pro
position. Commissioner Hi vera claimed that
all the Porto Ricans ask for is jus
tice, and that the Americans are
not giving them this. lie said that
tho House of Delegates has been
.made practically a nonentity by the
executive council, corresponding to
the upper house, and that the upper
body refused to listen to tho House
of Delegates in the recent extraordi
nary session of the Porto Rican Con
gress, Commissioner Larrinaga,
delegate from Porto Rico to Con
gress, will endeavor today to arrange
for an interview for the Commission
with President.Taft.
In regard to the tariff on coffee
he declared that as a" result of the
American occupation of the island
the price of the article had dropped
from $35 to 89 a 100 pounds, all its
foreign markets having been taken
away as a result of tho American
tariff laws.

Americas
Railroads
Some Things of Interest Re
lative to Routes.
Seven railroad routes, all of them
passing through sections of the con
tinent full of scenic and historic in
terest, are at the selection of those
who visit the Alaska-Yukon-Paeilic
Exposition. The same rates are in
force on all these lines, together
with agreements by which one may
go out over one line and back over
another, still getting the advantage
of the low rates.
Taking the roads in their geogra
phical order, from north to south,
the Canadian Pacific is considered
first. It is a scenic route of rare
beauty from the time one leaves
Halifax, Nova Scotia, or interme
diate points, until Seattle is reach
ed. It traverses the beautiful lake
regions of Canada, skirts the preci
pitous shore of Lake Superior, cros
ses the great plains'of Western Cana
da, and winds for hours through
the Rocky mountains and the Cas
cades until it finally reaches the
beautiful Pugot Sound country. No
route in America surpasses it in
scenic attractions, views ol lake and
river, mountain and valley, forest
and plain. A line to St. Paul is its
United States connection.
The Great Northern is also full of
scenic interest. From St.- Paul to
Seattlc.ran ever changing scene is
presented to the observer, growing
more beautiful and interesting as
the mountain regions are approach
ed. Skirting rapid rivers and climb
ing through mountain passes, the
road saves its most beautiful scenery
until the end, when it emerges up
on Pugot Sound, at Everett, Wash
ington, and continues for thirty
miles along the beach, to' Seattle,
the beautiful expanse of the Sound
with the pinnacled Olympics in the
distance, being e'ver in view.
Sceiiery along the Northern Pacific
is practically the same as on the
great Northern, the two lines prac
tically paralleling each other. Both
pass through the states of Minneso
ta, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
and Washington. The famous "bad
land" of the Dakotas are a unique
feature and far fipned Yellowstone
Park markes a delightful and readi
ly taken "stop-over."
The Burlington Line takes to the
Northern Pacific tracks at Billings,
Mont, and enters Seattle by that
route. The Chicago, Milwaukee it
St. Paul is pushing construction on
its transcontinental line, which will
be operating into Seattle before the
end of the exposition period,
paralleling the Northern Pacific.
The llarriinan lines tare for the
traffic of the South and South
west, the Union Pacific reaching
Seattle via Denver and Portland,
running through the magnificent
scenery of the central section of the
far West.
Although" not surpassing the
northern routes in scenery, the
Southern Pacific passes through a
country of more historic interest;
California and tho Southwest. From
the time one leaves San Francisco
until the East is reached, the road
is passing points famous in the his
tory of the continent, the fame of
many dating back to the old days of
Spanish occupation hi the eighteenth
century.
Improved service will be institut
ed on all these lines for the heavy
traffic this summer.
Supervisors
JWeeting
Transact County Business In

Several letters were received from
Governor Frcar in regard to the
park site.
R. C. Searle wrote the board that
lie believed a bridge should be built
across Honokohau stream, and stat
ed that he had nearly lost his life
there. Ho offered to haul all mate
rial for the use of the bridge free of
charge in case the county built a
bridge there.
Land Commissioner Pratt wrote
the board that he was negotiating
for a piece of land near Wailuku to
bo used for a public park.
Chief Clerk Woodward wrote the
board that a certified copy of the
acts of the board must be sent under
seal of the county before that body
could receive the same. The County
Clerk stated that he had sent such a
certificate. The matter under con
sideration was resolutions sent- the
legislature relative to bills then be
fore the House in which the County
of Maui is particularly interested.
T. M'. Church wrote the board

board that they had sent for the fivu
hundred feet of hose ordered of them

of one of his road hums. The Chair
man stated that the phone had been
placed in tho house of the road luna
the evening previous to the meeting.
D. T. Fleming wrote the board
asking the county to contribute to
ward the expense of keeping a vete
rinary here on the island.
II. A. Baldwin wrote the lxmrd
that he believed it better for the

doing at the present time.

asking for the return of his certified
check that accompanied his bid for

licenses and also resigned as a .spe
cial officer of the police department.
His resignation was accepted as ex
aminer of applicants for licenses and

Clean Sport
Or None
A Baseball Enthusiast Takes
Proper Stand.
Wailuku, April !Hh, 1909.
Editor 'Maui News':
During the past week or two
many remarks and criticisms have
been passed along the line ip Base
ball circles concerning the actions
of certain individuals with re
ference to baseball matters. These
remarks have worked up to such a
pitch that unless tho atmosphere
is cleared, baseball on Maui would
not be the clean, healthy sport
that good baseball fans would want
to witness. Yesterday James
Hattie, Secretary k. Treasurer of
tho Kahului Baseball Team ap
proached me on the subject of
clean baseball, and all of the
phaFes of the question were
thoroughly gone into. I am now
satisfied that, after the explana
ions, our baseball games are going
to be conducted in a fair manner,
and no advantages ' will be taken
of each othor. Probably the re
spective teams forming the present
league have been criticized for the
action of some of the individual
players. As far as I am concern
ed, I would say that unless base
ball is played in a clean, sports-'
manlike manner, I shall withdraw
entirely from the game. I also
have the a'surance of Mr. Hattie
that the Kahului team would co
operate with ub in tho promotion
of tho great American game. Dr.
St. Sure, mauager of tho Healanis,
also tells me that he will tolerate
nothing but clean sport. With
thsse assurances I feel certain that
the public will ho accorded good
games.
I must confess that I felt rather
disappointed in the prospects but
the frank manner in which Mr.
Hattie made his statements to me;
will just simply stimulate my in
terest in the game all the more.
Thanking you for the space ac
corded, I am,
Yours for clean sports,
J. GARCIA,
Manager and Capt. Morning

A-special invitation was issued to
the public to be present Thursday
evening to consider the park site
matter.
In persuance to an invitation to
the public to be present and express
its views on the matter of selecting
a site for park for Wailuku a matter
that has been done time and again
first one way and then another a
fairly large number of persons were
present and expressed themselves
on the matter.
At this meeting those present
were practically a unite for the old
site and diameterically opposed to
the unanimous choice of the new
site that was chosen at the last
meeting. What the next meeting
will do remains to be seen.
Attorney .1. M. Vivas offered a
motion leaving the matter of the
selection of the site to the Board of
Supervisors. Kahookelo was the
only one present who voted against
the motion.
S. Decker stated that he had in
tended to make application for the
Polipoli lands but that Pratt had
told him that the land had already
been leased to the Wailuku Sugar
company. .Mr. Keinnoi stated tliat
