On Sunday last the Maui
ball season was advanced another
step, and two games of the series
were played. As will be seen at a
glance, the Kahuluis and the Laha
inas did fine work and easily de
feated their opponents. It is good
to see the visiting teams making
good and, while still fondly imag
ining that the home team will pull
of! the final honors, all the Wai
luku fans are delighted to see the
men who travel miles in order to
play, doing so well. There is noth
ing petty or mean about the base
ball players and fans of Wailuku.
There was a good crowd present
when the umpire called "Play ball,"
on Sunday afternoon. The sup
porters of all the teams rolled up
frpm the different districts, and
tthey certainly had all the bells on.
The debut of the J. A. C. team was
iwatched with interest. It was felt
that the club was doing the right
thing in getting into the game, and
it was hoped that they would make
good. In going up against the
Kahului outfit, the J. A, C. bunch
were striving to accomplish for
their first game what was a very
hard task. However, our friends
from the Land of the Cherry Blos
som could not get into their stride
right -away, and they got a licking
that will only make them more
anxious to go up against the next
bunch. '

Youth Wounds
His Friend
- On Monday last there was a
4 hooting scrap at Haiku, and the
result is that a youth is now in the
Paia hospital suffering from a
wound in a certain part of his ana-
tomy that is not frequently men
tioned in polite society. Tlie youth
prefers standing to sitting at
present.
It appears that some boys were
sky-larking near the Haiku can
nery, and one of them became an
noyed. The rest bull-dozzed him
some and he got mad. Rushing
into his room he came out with a
pea-rifle, 22 bore. He pointed the
gun at another youth, who imme
diately broke and fled. Then
came the shot that caused a scar
that can hardly be called honor
able.
The gun-man" was arrested
and, as he is a juvenile, will come
up before the court and, probably,
will be sent to the Reform School
j for a couple of years. No serious
V results are anticipated from the
wound sustained by the patient
who is now in the hospital.
Chamber Of
Commerce
yi
At the regular meeting of tnei
Maui Chamber of Commerce, that
was held on Thursday last, there
was not much business to be dis
posed of. The first thing done was
to elect J. B. Thomson a member
of the association.
Then a communication from the
Richmond Chamber of Commerce
regarding taking action upon the
Currency Reform, was read. The
mainland association asked for the
co-operation of the Maui body in
working for currency reform. The
letter was filed, and there was no
expression of opinion from any
body. A letter from the powers that be,
in Washington, stated that there
would be no change regarding the
placing of the port of Kahului back
where it belonged formerly, as re
gards the Custom House.lt was said
that if a suitable man could not be
found at $25 per month, the depart
ment would take steps to discover
one.
The final reports of the commit
tees for the entertainment of the
legislators while on Maui, showed
that the total expense was $404.90.
This will all be paid at once; most
of the accounts have already been
settled.
President F. F. Baldwin was in
the chair for the first time since his
return from the mainland, and
since he was re-elected president
E. R. Bevins, in the absence of D
H. Case, acted as secretary.
The meeting did not last long as
1 t-1ifrr vn but litrlp to do. The
next gathering of members may be
larger, as it is said some important
matters will come up for consider
ation.
Open Tennis
Tournament
One of the most interesting ten
nis tournaments that has ever been
planned by the racket wielders' of
Maui is now ready to start up
The affair is an open competition
in which all tho players of tho dif
ferent districts will take part. No
less than sixteen pairs have signi
fied their intention of piaying and,
as ine tournament is a Handicap
one, there should bo some exciting
tennis before tho last match is play
ed.
There have been many club tour
naments in the past, ami most of
them have been good. However, it
is a long time since a handicap
open doubles tournament has been
played. That tho affair will bo
success, goes without saying. The
keenest interest is being taken in
tno contest, and tne Handicaps are
such that most of tho pairs think
they have a chance of capturing the
fine cups which are put up by tho
Puunene Store. The cups must bo
won twice by the samo pair before
they become tho property of tho
team.

there is sure to be a big crowd of
tennis fans on tho sidelines, watch

HONOLULU, May 9 Scarcely
lad the door to the legislative hall
banged shut and the echo from the
urid language of those who were
attempting to rid the city of a neces
sary evil died out when up bobs an
other alleged cause for action on the
part of tho prudes.
An announcement that ' there
would bo shown at a local theater a
motion picture called "Cell No. 13"
was sufficient to send a reporter for
one of the dailies to the exhibition
hall for the purpose of passing judg
ment on it. Whether the man was
competent to do so deponent saith
not, but the roast that followed the
first exhibition of "Cell No. 13" in
Honolulu suggested the absence 'of
red corpuscles in the veins of the
person who wrote tho review. Tho
picture is Italian, with u distinctly
French flavor, a flavor that at onco
suggests French spice; a page from
a novel by Eleanor Glynn or any
one who lias nail actual experience
Gamblers Pay
Forfeit Con
On Tuesday last the County
reaped a harvest of $95 in a very
short time. The money was
raised" through the efforts of the
police, and was the result of the
capture of seventeen Japanese, who
were engaged in a delightful na
tional game at Puunene. They
were captured red-handed and they
at once dug up bail money, instead
of appearing in court and losing
the pay for the day.
It seems that the police officers
had a good idea where the game
was going on and they got busy
too busy, in the opinion of. the
Japanese.
The raid was made at the proper
moment, and the Japanese were
caught with the goods on them.
The fines will help out a lot when
the free sugar business hits us all.
Doctors And
Their Pay
On Wednesday last the Maui
Board of Supervisors met for their
regular exchange of opinions and
to do some work. The first day
was taken up with reading commit-
nications.and some of them were in
the nature of kicks. There appears
to be some difference of opinion re
garding the payment of two doctors
on Molokai.
Ljne medico went away on a
vacation and his substitute, natur
ally, looked for remuneration. The
supervisors arranged that the man
who did the work was to get the
pay. That seemed fair enough but
there is now a hitch regarding the
matter. Both doctors want their
pay and the county does not see it
that way.
The matter was referred to by
Hitchcock, of Molokai, in a letter
to the board and the communica
tion was filed for reference.

Alleged To
Be Short
According to the rumors that
come from Molokai, there is anoth
er sad instance ot a young man go
ing astray. A sum of money, said
to amount to $500 is involved, and
the once trusted one is now said to
be under suspension from the post
office at Kaunkakai, Molokai.
Inspector Jarvis, of the post
office department, is said to have
discovered the shortage while on
his recent inspection visit to Molo
kai. The inspector sealed up every
thing before leaving for Honolulu,
and put James Munroe, temporally
in charge of the post office.
The suspension of the Postmas
ter came as a surprise to his friends
and it is hoped by them that there
may be some possible explanation
of the alleged shortage in the funds
of the post office.
"Past Due"
Bumped
lUtorney Enos Vincent, acting
for W. Patterson, of Haiku, success
fully defended tho cause of his client
in tho Makawao court last Tuesday.
Tho matter was a suit brought by
Harry T. Mills, of Honolulu, against
Patterson, to recover a sum of
money said to bo owed on a pro
missory note. Patterson denied
tho debt and Mills, who had pur
chased the notes in his ordinary
lino of business, sued for payment
II. C. Mossnian appeared for Mills.
It seems that, some timo ago,
l'attcrson went on some notes, or a
note, for tho benefit of the Salvation
Army. Ho never got any benefit
from tho transaction. The notoa
woro passed from hand to hand for
a long timo'and, finally, got into
Mills' hands.
Tho court, after listening to the
arguments of counsel, decided to
nonsuit Mills. Tho verdict will be
appealed against, for sure, as Mills
is noted for his love of fighting.
Two Claims
On County
J. M. Poonahele, of Honolulu,
has put in a claim against the
County of Maui for $1,000 dam
ages. He claims that, at liana, a
portion of his land has been taken
for a right-of-way. J. M. P. thinks
the strip is worth one thousand dol
lars, and he is out after the money.
Enos Vincent, acting County At
torney, is proceeding to Hana in
order to look over the valuable
property.
Another claim that has been
made against the County is that of
Kamanawahopu Kahuna, who
wants $60 for the loss of a horse
that fell over a bridge at Keanae,
while conveying mail to that part
of the island. The claim is made
that the County should stand for
the loss of the horse, on account of
the state of the bridge. The mail
was saved from the stream but the
horse perished.
Mr. Vincent will also attend to
this matter while at Hana. There
are a couple of other minor mat
ters to look up, too, and the Coun
ty Attorney may spend a couple of
days in the township.
Water Now
At Paia
There is great rejoicing over in
Paia about the arrival of good,
fresh water, by way of the Kula
branch line. The residents of Paia
are delighted, and during the week
there was a celebration on account
of the flow of the aqua pura.
The branch line is now com
pleted that is as regards the mains
and the applications for connec
tions is greater than can be at
present granted.
The pilikia niauku, in the tunnel
that carried the wooden stave pipe,
has been remedied and the wooden
pipe is now U. K. 1 he pipe is
rendered necessary owing to the
loss of water that occurs when the
fluid runs through the tunnel only
Hana Feels
Fairly Well
Sheriff Crowell, who returned
from Hana on Wednesday last, re
ports that there have been a couple
of opium raids there lately. The
poppy juice was being sold by some
Chinese and the police got wise to
the fact. The consequence was that
a trap was set, and the dealers in the
dreamer's delight fell into the net
One man was fined $50 and the
other forfeited bail amounting to
the same sum.
The sheriff spent some time de
ciding upon some changes that are
mooted in the department. A new
deputy sheriff, to succeed the late
deputy, Wittrock, is needed, and it
is an open secret that Captain Silva
will get the position.
Hana is thriving and, althougl
the sugar bugbear has all the citi
zens guessing, the people of the
quiet little town feel well enough
to be able to eat comfortably. Geo
O. Cooper is flourishing, and he is
said to be figuring on an invention
to do away with worry.

And Off Again
Narrow Escape of Big Sliip No
Damage Done to Hoi lorn
or Plates.
When the big four masted ship
Edward Pewall piled up on the reef
last Saturday, there was great ex
citement' on Maui. The news was
quickly spread and the story was,
of course, magnified as it went the
rounds. As a matter of fact, it was
a close call and only fine weather
saved tho ship from bumping her
bottom out on the coral. At least
that is the opinion of many experts
in things nautical.
The ship arrived in ballast from
San Francisco some days ago and an
chored outside the breakwater till
such time as tho railroad people
would be ready to load her with
sugar, bor several days tho big
ship was a conspicuous object on
tho coast. It was thought by some
people that she was rather close in,
but nothing was expected in the
way of disaster.
From reliable sources it is learned
that, on Saturday morning, the tug
Leslie Baldwin was sent out to
bring the Sewall into Kahului har
bor. The small boat did her part
of the business, and was soon ranged
up near the ship. The ship's anchor
was supposed to bo at the end of
forty-five fathoms of chain. As a
matter of fact so it is declared by
persons who claim they know-thoro
was only fifteen fathoms of chain
out. Consequently when the cap
tain of tho Sowall ordered that tho
slack" bo taken in, in order to bo
ready for the tug, the anchor was
drawn out of tho mud, and tho
vessel immediately began to drift,
stem-first, on to tho reef. It did
not take long to pilo her up, and

New Engineer
At Wailuku
Robert Church has resigned his
position as chief engineer of tho
Wailuku Sugar Company, and his
many friends aio sorry to hear the
news. "Bob" is well-known and
wfll-likcd on Maui, Hawaii and
Oahu to say nothing of Kauai.
He has filled such important posi
tions as Chief at Puunene, second
at Aiea, second at tho pacific Mill
during the overhauling and fixing
of that mill, some years ago, when
August Ahrens took hold after
Forbes got out and, finally Chief a
Wailuku. Church's milling efforts
arc on record, and there aro few
better when the appliances were
present-in thoo islands.
Church is leaving for the, main
land soon and, as ho is equally as
well known in Southern California,
as here, he will bo alright. At
anyrate, his old mill-mates who
now reside in Porto Rico and Cuba
will invite him to take up a position
in some mill. Thoy have begged
him to do so in tho past, and ho
might havo gone ohoro a couple of
years ago, if go inclinod.
Mr. Cowan, a competent engineer,
who has been employed on many
plantations in these islands, and
who is woll known, has accepted
tho position vacated by Mr. Church.
Cowan was onco at Ohm, Hawaii,
but of late has been employed on
Oahu. He is rated as a first class
mill unginoor and he hue tho good
wishes of everybody.
