Duko Kahanamoku appeared in the role of a life-saver during his his Easter visit to Atlantic City. In view of hundreds of Sunday bathers ho dived for a man who had gone down and had escaped - the attention of all others. , It was more than twenty minutes before the rescued man recovered con sciousness. He was evidently un der the influence of liquor. The rescue took, place in the Hygeia Baths, Atlantic City's newest swim ming pool, which measures 60 by 120 feet. In a recent race Duke defeated Shrylock, the iutercollego champion, over a 78-yard course in the Adams Natatorium at Philadelphia. He received a handsome loving cup for this performance. According to tho .boston press Beals C. Wright of Boston predicts that this year Maurice E. McLough- lin of San Francisco will win tho lawn tennis championship of Amer ica, and that he will hold it for years to come. Beals Wright is a player with world-wide reputation, and his opinion carries weight whenever expressed, He has on many occasions con tended against the most famous players of tho world in this sport and is the only tennis player alive who can show a clear lead on Nor man Brookes, the Australian, who . is now regarded as the strongest player in the world, Wright and Brooks have met five times, and Wright has won three times while Brookes has succeeded only twice Both the Australian and the Eng lish tennis experts consider Wright as the greatest living international player outside of Brookes, and agreu that his iron nerve in difficult posi ,!7 tions renders him a more formida . ble adversary than even those ex perts who are credited with greater kills. Wright has himself held tho championship of America and in many different years has rated close to the top in American tennis.

Clothed in a whito mist of fog, drenched by a drizzling rain, the Carpathia, grief ship and floating rospital, stole like a black snake into port to land its suffering hun dredsall that is left .of those who Bailed on tho first voyage of the lost Titanic. Tho hull lay low down in the water weighted by the saddest freight that ever ship carried; its speed wat. the funeral note of seven knots, just half of its steaming capa city; its ensign trailed at half pole, wet with the tears of elementary nature for nature's grim conquest of marine man. SURGEONS OVBRTAXBD. Almost every stateroom was a sick bay. Tho call of the sick and suffering had broken down even tho heroic nerves of the ship's surgeons They wero dizzy and faint from" do ing, striving with all their might to keep alive tho living which tho death doomed Titanic's lifeboats committed to their care. Manfully they defied nature, fight ing off tho weariness of brain and hand and foot. They stayed by their posts, going from stateroom to stateroom, from cabin to cabin, from berth to berth, administering to rich and poor alike, without thought of preference or recom pense. As far aB they could, the men and women who sailed from New York on the Carpathia offered will ing and cheerful help, turning them selves into nurses at a moment's notice, giving up suite and berth without a thought of their own com fort. DEMANDS TOO GREAT. Great and vital has been their aid; yet, for all that, sorrow ant sickness havo exceeded tho. desire and tho power to soothe. Many of the more delicate women were piercing the deck with their screams when not kept under the influenco of thought-stilling opiates and the doctors wero doling out their stores of medicines during the sorrowful voyage m tear that moro urgent need for their use might dis close itself before the last sufferor was placed within tho ambulances lined up at the Cunard pier. The scene on every deck was awe in spiring, fearful. SUFFERING OF GIRLS. i some of the younger women are tho most difficult to compose. And this particularly true of thoso who were taken off in the first boats which were lowered from tho Titan ic's davits delicato girls who liith erto had known sorrow but from hearsay; who were reared in the lap of luxury, waited on and petted their least thought a mandate ra. poor preparation for their harrow ing experience in tho boats, many of them fresh from their beds and in their night clothes, with but thin wrapper or raincoat between shivering body and biting wind. Clothing was cheerfully offered them when thoy wero raised over tho rails of tho Carpathia, but in most cases- the offers woro unneces sary. They wero unfit to leave tho cabins generously bostowed upon them by tho Cunardor's first-class passengers.

The Maui Athletic Association leld a mooting in the Town Hall ast Monday evening. Tho proceed from tho games last season wore divided among the teams, and this gives each team a little money with which to buy equipment for the present season. The officers elected for the ensu ing year were V. n. juountcasue, president; W. T. Robinson, vice president; Joaquin Garcia, secre tary; and W. E. Bal, treasurer. A committee has been appointed to draft up a new schedule of games, and it is proposed to start the lea gue series Sunday, May 19th. In all probability tho league will be made up the same as last year, with two teams from Wailuku, one from Kahului, and one from Paia. Capt. Bal has had a gang working on tho baseball grounds for a couple of weeks, skinning the diamond, and grading the outfield, and when the first gamo is called, Wailuku will have a ball grounds the superior of anything in the Territory. The first- practice game of the season will take place on the Wai luku grounds tomorrow afternoon, between the Stars and the Kahuluis. Tho game will be called at 3 o'clock. An admission fee of 25 cents will bo charged to the grounds, in order to cover tho expenses of the teams. Ladies will he admitted free. Turn out, you fans, and show the boys that you appreciate their efforts to keep Maui on the baseball map. Don't forget to hand your two bits to the gato keeper, either. Talk About New Sheriff. Some time back thero was a per sistent rumor that W. G. Scott was looking for Sheriff Crowcll'a job. Wo spoke plainly our views in tho mat ter, and though some people coh strued our remarks as a knock against Mr. Scott, that gentleman took a broader view of tho matter, and thanked the editor of this papor personally for speaking frankly. He also stateu positively that he was not out for tho position of sheriff, and did not want it. At a recent performance at the Wailuku Orphcum, in which a lady proposed to answer uny questions which wero asked her, sho made the statement that W. G. Scott would bo the next sheriff. This has started tho tongue-wugging again, but hap pily Mrs. Cunning does not have tho naming of the county officers for Maui, and though thero is al ways tho possibility of her being right in her guess, still thero always remains tho great gulf between pos sibility and probability. In Good Condition Ralph Hosmer, superintendent of forestry, returned to Honolulu from Maui in the Claudine Tuesday. Ho was on Maui for ono week, and during that timo he traveled over a lot of mountain and forest country. Tho unlnediato reason for tho forester's visit to Maui was to in vestigate tho forest reserves along tho Koolau ditch trail. Tho Alex ander & Baldwin interests havo taken up this mattor with great spirit and, last year, Hosmer pre pared maps showing tho sehemo of reforestation in full. Hosmer roporta that he found favorablo .conditions existing as re Police Doings Some of (he Principal Happenings During the Past Week. Tho sheriff has been busy all week with a gang looking for tho missing Portuguese, who left his homo over in Kula, last week, but so far nothing has been seen of him. Among the gang of pi 1'soners who have been working on the baseball park, was a Portuguese by tho name of Estrella, who was serving a term of one year for horse stealing. Tuesday noon when o had finished his lunch he started for the ditch to wash his lunch pail, instead of washing the pail, however, ho L'Jked off through the cane, and disappeared. A search has been going on over since, and he was dis covered Thursday night at the home of his mother. A Japanese was brought in from Lahain.a Thursday. He was -sent over trom the leper settlement on Molokai on tho Mikahala. This Jap has been shipped out of the settlement twice before, and each time he has sneaked back. Ho gets in by landing at one of the other ports and going overland, and climbing down the pali trail. This time ho was put under arrest, and charged with breaking the regula tion of entering the settlement with out a permit. How many of the poor inmates at Kalaupapa would give their all to get out of the settle ment, and yet they havo to arrest this Jap in order to keep him out. The Late W. E, Foster. William Edward Foster was born in Pipestone, Pipestone Co., Minn., April 22nd, 1881, and removed with his parents to Jennings, Louisiana, in 1886.

In 1911, his health failing, ho took up his residenco at Keokea, Kula, where soon after, ho was appointod superintendent of tho Kula Sanitarium. After an illness of a few months he passed away at his mountain homo after a touching farewell to his family, who were all present at his bedsido, April 26th, 1912. Mr. Foster was a splendid typo of the clean sportsman nnd an activo member of the baseball and tennis organizations of Maui. Ho became a member of Lodgo Maui No. 981, A. F. & A.
