ever seen on this island. Maui out
did herself yesterday and the race
meeting, the excursions to Iao, the
family gatherings nnd picnic part
ies, simply placed Maui where she
belongs and that is at the head of
the list as regards the Islands of the
Blest. Maui is a name to conjure
with and every man, woman or
child, who has resided on this beau
tiful isle knows the brand of the
delight that is to be obtained here.
Once 'more, altogether, Maui No
Ka Oil
From an early hour yesterday
morning in fact before the usually
tired business man would think of
stirring on ordinary occasions,
autos .were to be seen speeding
down to the Claudine wharf, at
Kahului. Each and every one of
the cars was bent on a mission that
was no guess workv Lach rent ser

of fellows was waiting for him
Hana Folk
Enjoy Day
Over at Hana yesterday the
Fourth was celebrated in great I
fashion and the residents of the lit
tle village had the time of their
lives. From early morning to late
at night or rather this morning
there were sounds of revelry. All
the Hana and the surrounding dis
trict people were on hand and the
celebration was one to remember.
In the forenoon there was a
great parade of Pa-u riders and
over fifty women took part in the
procession. The. Pa-u riders of
Hana are famous and it is a pity
that some of them cannot be en
ticed to appear in Honolulu on fes
tival occasions.
There were foot races, horse
races and swimming races galore.
The sport was good and clean, and
the spectators took the greatest in
terest in the competitions.
George O. Cooper was much in
evidence and the genial Mayor of
Hana kept things going at a good
pace. Cooper is fond of sports of
all sorts, and he predicts that Hana
will some day turn out a world's
champion swimmer.
The stores of Hana were deco
rated and flags and bunting were
to be seen everywhere. The town
looked fine and gay and the coun
try folk who were present said that
they hardly knew the place. Hana
is on the map as far as celebrating
July Fourth is concerned.

As soon as the Mauna Kea came
within hailing distance there was a

The furniture for the office arrived

The inspector has regular office

A crusade against barbers who
do not uso anti-septic methods is
being conducted, and many of the
shops will not be granted licenses
till they comply with the law in
that respect.
The Inspector finds everybody

very gratified with the way the

There is no friction, and everybody
seems to realize that the inspector
is working for the good of the
whole community.
There is a law that states that no
corporation or individual can sell
drinking water that has not come
from approved sources. It is ru
mored that the Wailuku water head
may have to be put back where it
originally was. It is known that
the water-head has to be shifted,
but now it seems that the matter
must be attended to at once, in
stead of months hence.

They have worked faithfully and

RESULTS.
Kahului beat Stars score 9 to 4.
By this victory the Kahuluis won the
championship of the first series of the
Maui League. The game was very one
sided up till the seventh inning, when
the Stars broke their string of "goose
eggs."
On Sunday last the championship
of the Maui League for the first
series was finished. The Stars and
the Kahuluis were tied, and the de
ciding game was played before a
large crowd of fans. A much bet
ter game than the resulting one was
expected, and the fans were some
what disappointed with the ex
hibition. The Stars did not seem
able to get going and the Kahuluis
had everything to themselves up till
the second half of the seventh.
The Kahuluis wens leading by a
score of 7 to 0, when they wound
up their half of the the seventh, and
the game looked as good as won by
the bunch from the waterfront. But
the Stars at last got into something
like shape and they, in the seventh,
made their first run. They followed
this up with three in the eighth,
and the score of 7 to 4. then looked
better. The Kahuluis, however,
made two more in the first half of
the ninth, and that was too lunch

LouisSoares
Quits Star
Ball Team
Louis Soares, the best catcher in
the Territory and the lad who
caught in big league games in
Honolulu before most of the local
players were ever heard of, is
turning in his uniform to the
manager of the Morning Stars.
This action of Soares is caused by
the talk about his calling for too
many "straight balls" from pitcher
Bal in the game of last Sunday,
when the Stars were beaten by the
Kahuluis. Soares is sore, and
rightly so, with the men who are
criticizing his work on the
diamond.
Soares is acknowledged to be the
best catcher in the islands. Those
who know his record, and who
have watched him in action against
the best teams in Honolulu to
say nothing of his work against
big outfits that have visited Hono
lulu when on their way to the
Orient, know what he can do in
the catching line. To have some
country players who, through their
own erratic playing, cost the Stars
a game, say that the fault was
Soares', is too absurd. Soares
knows baseball and those who
blame him for the defeat of the
Stars don't know enough to keep
themselves warm.
Louis Soares was catcher and
captain of the Stars. That should
be enough for the kickers to chew
over. Perhaps if some of the
players took as much care of them
selves as Soares does they would
be in better condition to play ball
on Sundays. Put that in your
pipes and smoke it.

cause Husband Objected to I
Her Dancing.
Feeling despondent, and being
annoyed that her husband would
be allow her to go to a dance at
Paia, pretty little Mrs. Carrie Martin
drank a pint bottle of ant poison
and died last Saturday evening.
The suicide was deliberate and the
young wife died in great agony.
Her dress, which she had prepared
for the dance, lay on the bed beside
her and the unfortunate young
women had, evidently, gazed long
and fondly at it before taking the
rash step she did.
It appears that the woman, who
was part Spanish and part Porto
Rican, and very pretty, had trouble
with her husband on former oc
casions. She is alleged ' to have
attempted to commit suicide some
months ago, and was only saved
from death by the quick work of
husband and some neighbors.
The girl wanted to go to the
dance and the husband is said to
have objected- The unfortunate
woman took this much to heart
and, becoming very despondent,
procured the ant poison and drank
the contents of the bottle. She
was discovered while there was
still life in her body, and she was
rushed to the Paia Hospital. All
efforts to bring her round and save
her life were, however, fruitless,
and slip died a few hours after she
had taken the poison. An inquest
was" held on Monday and a verdict
o f suicide was returned by the
coroner's jury.

The terrible double crime shock
ed the whole community and cast
a gloom over the balance of the
Fourth of July celebrations.
There had been no idea of any
trouble existing between Carr and
his wife. They attended the races
during the afternoon and Mrs. Carr
and her sister, later on, went to
the Claudine wharf and saw the
Mauna Kea off for Honolulu. It
was shortly after that that Carr
fired four shots at his wife and
with the fourth, killed her. He
then procured a razor and killed
himself,
Carr and his wife arrived here
from Mexico about a year ago. He
had been in the employ of the Ka
hului Railroad, as passenger train
engineer, ever since his arrival on
Maui.
Sheriff Crowell was notified of
the tragedy and he at once pro
ceeded to Kahului. An inquest
will he held today.
The Knhuluis bent the I'uuueues by a
score of 14 to 11.
No cause enn be found for the murder

(Special Correspondence )
HONOLULU, July 3. It is said
that on the island of Hawaii laborers
working on the contract system are
earning from one dollar and a half
to three dollars a day, cultivating
cane. 1 hat's bit: pay for unskilled
labor. It is said they get eighteen
cents a ton for cutting and loading
the cane or fifteen cents a ton for
cutting it and putting it in the
flume. There was a time not many
years ago when tho contracts made
with tho Japanese on Olaa planta
tion gave the party of the second
part so little that skin and bones
barely hung together and in spite
of it there was nothing for the share
holders. Assuming there is some
truth in the statement that tho
lands are now getting the sum
stated above it would annear to
Proxy that there may be a chance
for a living even with the tariff off
sugar.
Of course if the tariff should come
off there must be a way for the plan-
Kam Comes
In Alone
On Thursday afternoon at 4
o'clock, the annual boat race from
Honolulu to Kahului ended. The
Kamehaineha won by a margin of
forty miles and she was well handled
on the run across from Oahu. The
Hawaii, which started in the race,
had to give up after passing Koko
Head, and returned to Honolulu.
Her mainsail was split badly and'
that put her out of the contest.
The two yachts, the Mollilou
and the Katnenieha, had a fresh
breeze to help them along and, al
though it was a trifle rough cross
ing , the channel, the two bots
made good time to Molokai where
the Mollilou became disabled and
turned into Lahaina.
The crews were entertained at
the hospitable homes of the Maui
people, and the Honolulu visitors
declare that they had the time- of
their lives on the Valley Island.
The niaguificient cup, which was
held by the Kanieliaincha up till
Thursday last, was on exhibition
at the Puunene store during the
past week.
College Test
Road Material
Down at the College of Hawaii
great work is being done in the
way of instruction in the different
arts, and many of the graduates are
doing well in all walks of life. The
College is turning out young men
who, when they go to the mainland,
are placing the name of their Alma
Mater on the educational map at
the various u niversities.
In the engineering department
the College is getting along splen
didly, and students in that branch
are being thoroughly grounded in
their chosen profession. Professor
Koller, who is in charge of the'
engineering classes, is very grati
fied with the progress made by his
tations to even up and not make
losses; to break even rather than
fall below the lowest estimate which
tho agents will make. The highest
prices reached for hands for the
last twenty years is being paid on
Hawaii at this time but it is through
contracts. Twenty-odd years ago
when the Chinese wero leaving for
their former homes, and tho Japan
ese had not filled the territory, as
high as a dollar a day was paid
laborers. It was big money but the
plantations could afford it better
than they can today because, beside
a high price for sugar there was the
two cent bounty. Today there is
nothing to fall back on, not even
the "insiduous lobby", and sugar
only a trifle over three cents a pound.
It is likely new contracts will bo
made for the next crop and eighteen
cents a ton for cutting and loading
will not bo a part.

students. The professor is an ex
pert and he, lately, added a labor
atory in which road making mate
rials are being tested.
The College is ready to test anv
kind of road material and the test
ing is of the kind that the material
would receive if spread on the roads
of the territory.
Found Dead
each
On Monday last a native woman
named Kelii Holoaa was found
dead on the beach at Waihee. The
woman had been out gathering
opihis, and it is thought that she
fell in a faint from heart trouble
and died where she dropped.
The friends of the deceased say
that she was given to complaining
of a pain near her heart. She was
about forty years of age and was
very active at all times. .
The sheriff was notified of the
sudden death and he and the
government medical officer decided
that there was no necessity for an
inquest as the cause of death was
plainly from natural causes.
Judge Copp
Passes Away
Judge Charles Copp died at Ma
kawao on Tuesday last, at ripe age
of sixty-five years. He had been
ailing for some time past and the
end was not unexpected. The
funeral, which was a Masonic one,
was held on Wednesday and the
service was very impressive,
The late Judge Copp was born
at Hana, and he resided on Maui
all his life. He was married twice
and by his first wife had one sou,
C. C. Copp, Jr. By his second
wife he had three children Mrs.
V. Hardy, of Puunene, Mrs. J. T.
Ralston, of Lahaina and Harry

For fifteen years Judge Copp
was 011 the Makawao bench and he
did good work while in the position.
