Count Medici
At Haleakal
South African Consul Enjoying
Visit to Maui Would Return
If Possible.
Maui entertained a distinguished
visitor last week, and the traveler
declared himself delighted with his
experiences on this island. Count
Medici di Marignano, Consul for
Italy in the Union of South Africa,
was the visitor, and ho did the
Ilaleakala trip all alone, lie also
visited Iao Valley and all the other
interesting sights of Maui. "Well,
you have a lovely island hero," he
declared, "and T am glad that I
was not dissuaded from making the
trip. It nearly happened that way,
owing to the manner in which my
enquiries regarding Maui were ans
wered in Honolulu.

Rev. Short
Is Leaving
August 19 will ho the last day
that the Rev. Mr. Short will spend
on Maui. He has received a call
to St. Paul Church, Bonicia, Cali
fornia, and will sail for the main
land on the date mentioned.
Bishop Moreland, who is a life
long friend of Mr. Short, has charge
of the Diocese in which Mr. Short
will labor, and for many years he
has endeavored to persuade the well
known Wailukuan pastor to go hack
to the mainland.
Mr. Short is leaving Hawaii for
purely family reasons. He has a
son in the navy or rather a cadet
and when the family settles in
Benicia, there will be a re-union.
Miss Short accompanies her father
to the mainland. The call received
by Mr. Short is not one to a better
parish as stipends go. The Maui
pastor would not bo influenced that
way. As stated before, it is purely
for family reasons that the well
liked minister is leaving Maui.
Filipino Shot
At Olowalu
On Sunday last there was a shoot
ing scrap at Olowalu and one man,
a Filipino, is in the hospital as a
result of the affray. The man who
did ihe shooting was also a Filipino,
and he is under arrest, charged with
carrying a concealed weapon. There
is some doubt as to whether the
shot was fired with intent, to kill,
and the county attorney's depart
ment is looking into the matter.
It seems that the two Filipinos
were the best of friends and that
they lived in the same house. They
had a holiday, of course, on Sunday
and put in their time loafing around
the house and talking to neighbors.
Somo time after noon a shot was
heard by somo neighbors and a rush
was made for the Filipinos' house.
The crowd found ono man on the
floor with a bullet through his hip.
T ho other Filipino was standing by
with a revolver in his hand. From
statements made by the wounded
man, it would senm as if the shoot
ing was an accident. The two are
great friends, and their story is that
they were fooling around when tho
gun went off in some way and shot
tho man. The wound is not a very
serious one and the Filipino is ex
pected to recover from it rapidly".
Tennis Finals
Will Be Good
Dispute Over Match That Was
Claimed By Default Not
Allowed.
. Owing to somo upsetting of the
Jates upon which the second round
of the Harry Baldwin tennis tour
nament should have been finished,
tho committee, by a vote of two to
one, decided to extend the time
limit. Tho second round was to
lavo been pau yesterday, and tho
nals must be played off before July
1.
Regarding tho split vote of the
cmmittee on tho question of ex
tending the timo limit for the semi
finjls, it is said that the reason is
the Myers, who plays with Rich
ardfon, could not put in an appear
anceon the day set. Burns and
Burn who were to meet Myers
and Richardson, claimed a default.
E. R. Bovins, chairman of the com
mittee voted that Burns and Burns
bo declared tho winners. Richard
son and W. S. Chillingworth voted
the other way.

Took Poison
While Angry
Last Monday a part Chinese
woman attempted to commit sui
cide at Camp One, Puunene. She
had some kind of a row with her
husband and decided that life was
not worth living.
The woman chose poison as the
suicide, dope and, not having any
thing else, drank about a third of
a bottle of horse liniment. The
only thing that saved -her was the
fact that she took too much of the
stuff, and became sick. Even then
she was unconscious for a couple
of hours and had to be taken to
the Pnunene Hospital.
Deputy Sheriff Ferreira happen
ed to be at Camp One, and as soon
as he heard that the woman was
poisoned he hurried down to give
all the assistance he could. The
woman was picked up and hurried
to the hospital, where she was
brought around after some strenu
ous work by the doctor. The
woman has promised not to be so
foolish agaiu.
Test Case
Being Tried
In the police court last Monday,
a test case was put up to Judge
McKay, who was invited to give a
decision regarding the auto ordin
ance of the County of Maui. An
tonino Garcia was the nominal de
fendant, and he agreed to the case
going in 011 an agreed statement of
fact.
It appears that although the auto
ordinance says that fifteen miles
an hour is"the limit of speed in the
towns, and twenty-five miles the
limit, in outside districts, there are
no defined town limits specified.
As it was felt by the county
attorney's department that it' would
be hard to get a conviction against
any speeder, the matter was passed
up to the judge. He decided yes
terday that Garcia was guilty and
suspended sentence for thirteen
months. The judge, however,
would not define the town limits
and that will go up to the supervisors.
WAILUKU, MAUI, T. H.,
GOVERNORSHIP SUBJECT
OF MUCH DISCUSSION
Correspondence, Written Before Pinkliam Was Nomi
nated, Lets Some Light on Situation-Horner
and the Sugar StatusPineapple Price Cut.
(Special Correspondence.)
HONOLULU, July 25. There
have been events during the past
day or two that have a tendency to
shatter tho equilibrium which keeps
the average Honolulu resident on
an even keel. First there was thu
report that Pinkham is to get the
appointment of Governor to succeed
Frear. Knowing his love for the
heads of some of the big interests in
the islands and, with a belief that
ho will sacrifice any, and every in
terest in order to get at the men for
whom he nourishes a hatred, the
men most interested in sugar felt a
scare to be compared' only to that
experienced by a person taking a
first trip on the ocean.
The average man will tell you
that Pinkham will never do, and
tho average is not confined to men
interested directly in sugar. There
are exceptions and they say Pink
ham is a good man and ono who
will aid tho sugar industry, regard
less of tho fact that many for whom
Pinkham
NUiiiiuaieu v
As Governor
L. 4E. Pinkham has been nomi
nated by President Wilson, as Gov
ernor of Hawaii. The news was
cabled from Washington Thursday
last and it caused a sensation
throughout the islands.
When Pinkham's name was first
mentioned in the dispatches from
the mainland, everybody smiled
and remarked it was a good joke.
But the joke has come home to
roost, and there is no getting
around the fact that Pinkham has
landed the plum.
It is said that the Democratic
party in Hawaii is ready to flop.
The leaders, who fondly imagined
that they were in the running for
the big territorial offices, have not
yet recovered from the shock, and
there is much weeping and gnash
ing of teeth.
Who Wants
Port Job?
If any ambitious young man
wishes to obtain a position as dep
uty collector of customs at the port
of Kahului, now is the time for
him to speak up and get busy. E.
R. Bevius, who will step out of
the office on July 31, is determined
to give up the position for good.
Twenty-five dollars per month is
not thought to be sufficient salary
for such a position, and the job is
going begging.
When Tidwell from Washington
toured the islands and looked into
the affairs of the various ports of
entry in the group, he sent in a
report to the effect that Kahului
should be reduced in status. This
was done and the salary of $125
per month that was attached to the
position, was cut to $25 per month.
Since the reduction, it has been
found impossible to secure a man
for the position and, after July 31,

ho has no love, are deeply interested
in it. It is pointed out that when
he took a trip around the country
somo years ago as tho head of a
commission appointed by Governor
Carter, ho signed a report very
favorable to the industry in spito of
the fact that conditions wore not as
good then as now. Another thing
against Pinkham, is tho opposition
ho has expressed for the Japanese,
a delicate subject for diplomatic
differences just at this time, and
which has been so often published
that the Washington authorities
seem to bo well posted on tho matter.
Pinkham, you will remember,
was sent to tho Philippines to re
cruit labor for the plantations. It
was a good job and ho made the
best of it for Pink. However it
came to the cars of the planters
that Mr. Pinkham was having a
really joyous timo in Manila; that
ho never went outside1, and that
the clas3 of men he was sending
(Continued on page 4)
it will be hard to say what will
happen. If there is no deputy col
lector at Kahului, the steamers will
have to be cleared and entered at
Honolulu or Hilo. That would
mean that a custom officer would
have to travel on each vessel and
that the cost of handling freight
would be increased.
The twenty-five dollars a month
does not appeal to anybody. The
man who takes the job will have to
board all vessels Sundays or any
other day and there is a good
deal of work and responsibility at
tached to the position. Now don't
all speak at once.
luffer Had
To Skin Out
Maui had several would-bo
smarties as visitors during tho
"race week" that ended on the
evening of July Fourth. Ono man
in particular, who posed as an
attorney, and who had tho impu
deuce to appear in the Circuit
Court, at Lahaina, has skipped the
country. Ho found things too hot
for him, it is said.
This particular bright youth
posed as a Yale man, who had per
formed somo wonderful feat on tho
classic diamond of tho University
lie tried to fiil up quite a number
of Wailuku people with his stories,
but most of tho sports wero very
careful of their dealings with him.
Now, it has come to light that
the visitor had no legal standing as
an attorney, and that ho buncoed a
former Wailukan man who is sued
by his ex-wife for alimony, out of
870. The "attorney" was supposed
to represent the man in his appeal
against tho alimony allowed by tho
court. Ho stated to several people
in Wailuku that he was appearing
for his client without any hopo of
payment for his services. "I liked
! the look of tho fellow and said I
would represent him for nothing,"
was tho "attorney's" statement in
court. Tho facts are that hcjgot
S70out of tho easy one and then
had a good timo on Maui. From
latest advices it is learned that tho
smart Alick has gone to pastures
now.

There was nothing to it, and the

Puuneucs scored as they liked and
ones, twos, threes and fours, to say
nothing of a five, appeared in short
order on tho scoring board.

nine years, lias been Supervising
Principal of the liana district of
public schools, and postmaster at
Kipahulu, left for Kauai, via Oahu
on Wednesday evening last. He is

the best teacl&rs in the territory,
and ho will have an opportunity of
showing what ho can do at Hana
pepe, whore there are about a dozen
teachers in tho school. Principal
Taylor will relish tho change from
an isolated place and will bo ablo to

that has been impossible for a long
timo past.
With Messrs. Copeland, Wado,
Raymond and Taylor gone from
Maui, a number of friends arc miss
ing their companionship, and tho
hopo is expressed that some day the
exiles may rotuan to the happiest
island in the group.

Athlete Here
J. S. H. MacKenzie, well known
all over the big island as "Mac,"
and one of the best alround ath
letes in the group, is now manager
of the Puunene Store, at Kahului
"Mac" has had many years expe
rience in plantation stores and he
is considered to be a real live wire
The new manager was the star
athlete of the island of Hawaii till
he injured his knee while playing
soccer against a Honolulu team.
He was a fine high jumper, pole
vaulter and broad jumper. On the
tennis courts he is in the first flight,
although somewhat handicapped
by the injured kiiee. Maui tennis
players will be glad to hear that a
good racquet wielder has come to
reside here.
Former manager Walker, of the
Puunene Store, is now located in
the M. A. Co.'s Paia Store.

Grave Charge
Against Man
Sheriff Crowell brought a prison
er back from Hana on Wednesday,
and the man is a Hawaiian named
Malamalama, who is charged with a
very serious crime against a young
girl, who is said to be twelve years
of age.
The alleged offense is said to
have occurred at Keanae, some
time last week. The man is now
confined in the Wailuku jail, to
which place he was committed to
await action by the Grand Jury in
October next.
The details of the case are revolt
ing and, if true, may result in the
Hawaiian going to jail for many
years.

There was somo great sport at the
Wailuku gymnasium on Wednesday
evening last. Fifteen members turn- .
cd up and a tryout bowling tourna
ment was started up. Tho idea was
to get somo notion of tho respectivo
ability of the bowlers and to then,
upon tho form shown, declaro tho
handicaps for a tournament that is
to be played in tho near future.
Tho "T. B. M." Club is going
strong, and much interest is being
shown in tho work at tho gym.
More people are becoming interested
in tho concern, and there is a boom
just started that will place the gym.
where it belongs.
On Wednesday evening Dan Carey
showed great form and ho came out
ahead of everybody. Dan is as good
at bowling as ho is at driving trot
tors, and ho is excellent at both
sports. Manager Penhallow was in
his clement and a half-a-dozen or bo
plantation men wero present alsj.
Captain Penhallow did some good
work on the alloys and he was ap
plauded for a couple of strikes that
ho made. Dan Case enjoyed him
solf and showed tho bunch how they
bowl in Kansas. The whole even
ing was enjoyable and all tho busi
ness men of the district should join
in and have a good time every
evening.
