SANTA MARIA RAN UPON ESk's Bailee 'Thanksgiving
Manager Rice Has Taken Hold
Of Nine Good Work Being
Done.
On Tuesday afternoon last the
All-Mniti baseball team got down to
practice for tlie first time and the
boys showed up well for a starkr.
Manager Harold Itice was present
and lie kept the players on the
jump, all the time. The new man
ager will keep the players up to the
mark, and there is no doubt that
Maui will be properly represented
on the Honolulu diamond nexf
February.
The players turned up at half
past four o'clock and, from that
time till dark, were going for all
they were worth. There was no
loafing around, and everyone had
to work. The right spirit seemed
to prevail and the boys were on the
job all the time.
Practice was also had on Wednes
day and yesterday. The object of
the manager is to get the cam in
to the best possible form. A game
will be played tomorrow between
the All-Mauis and the "Next Best."
The game should warm up the re
presentative bunch, and make them
get down to business properly.
Five games in all will be played be
fore the Maui team goes up against
the Honolulu nine that is expected
to play here during Christmas
week.
It was thought that the Asahis,
of Honolulu, would come to Maui
but it had been found impossible
for that organization to make the
trip. However, another team will
be invited, and it is thought that a
strong nine will pay Maui a visit.
The object of getting the Honolulu
tear.i is to give the Maui fellows a
good tryout, and to raise funds to
finance the visit to Honolulu in
February.
At Puunem
Down at Puunene the Rice Cup
tennis tournament is neariug the
end. There have been some inter
esting matches played, and some of
the tennis has been exciting. Quite
a number of enthusiasts take a run
down to see the matches and much
..interest is taken in the struggle.
At the present time of writing, it
looks as if two Paia teams will
fight it out in the finals. Rice and
Rosecraus should meet Lindsay
and Collins. There may, of course,
. be a slip-up, but the general idea
is that the pairs named will be in
the finals.
During the week Eugle and Dr.
Young beat C. Campbell and Mc
Larens two sets straight, 6-2, 6-4.
The second set was a good one and,
for a time, it looks as if Campbell
and his partner would win. Engle
was off his game for a while, but
picked up again later on. Engle
find Young then gained another
victory on Monday, when they
beat Savage and McLaren, 4-6,
6-3, 6-3. On Tuesday F. F. Bald
win and W. Walsh played Thom
son and Murry. The result was a
win for Baldwin and Walsh, by
a score of 6-2, 6-8, 6-3.
On Thursday afternoon Collins
and Lindsay beat Baldwin and
Walsh, 6-2, 6-4, 6-2.

R. A. Wadsworth, who is a booster
for Maui always.
There is every chance that the
"get together" dinner suggested by
I. A. Wadsworth will be brought
off soon. The people who are in
terested in the scheme are sounding
the men who arc likely to attend,
and the prospects are that a real
live boosting banquet will bo held,
at which all those who have the
best interests of Maui at heart will
attend in a body.
The idea is to get things ready,
in a social way, so that when the
Honolulu Ad. Club visits Maui, the
people of Maui will know one an
other better, and be in closer touch
than at present. To make the visit
of the Ad. Club members successful,
and to insure the success of Maui's
celebration when the Civic Conven
tion is held here next year, it is
thought that a dinner would be the
best way to get things going.
Mr. Wadsworth is a live booster
for the convention next year, and
his idea of a dinner being given,
meets with the approval of many
people.
Tomorrow afternoon, on tho Wai
luku baseball diamond, the All
Maui team will go up against the
"Next Best" bunch, and a great
game should result. The All Maui
boys, of course, feel that they should
"get the goats" of the "Hest" but,
there is many a slip, etc. Harold
Rice won't hear of his boys getting
beaten, but there are some fans who
say that it will be a tight go. Jt is
to be hoped that a big crowd turns
up to see tho game and that the
weather remains line.
The Pain, band, under tho leader
ship of Father Francis, will dis
course sweet melody, and that feat
ure will bo much appreciated by the
crowd. The hand will liven things
up a lot, and the lovers of baseball
will have the time of thoir livos
watching tho play and listening to
tho music.
"Pico's Ileliablcs," as the team
has been nicknamed, arc in line
form and, as all Maui peoplo have
a great interest in the team that is
to invade Oahu next February, it is
to be hoped that thoro will bo a
bumper turnout tomorrow at tho
basoball park. The gamo will be
called at half-past two o'clock.
Mr. Silva, of M. Melnorny, Ltd.,
Honolulu, is coming to Maui next
week. He will establish his head
quarters at Tho Maui Hotel. Mr.
Silva is bringing a big stock of the
latest stylos of clothing and gentlo
mon's furnishings, and will rotnain
for somo days on Maui.

Oil-Tanker Hit Rocks Near Place Where Shin Sewall
Was Piled Up Steamer Got Off Uninjured
Much Oil Lost.
Another narrow escape from a
total wreck was experienced on
Thursday evening last about seven
I'cliiek, when the oil-tanker Santa
Maria hit the reef off Kahului har-i
hnr and stuck fast. Fortunately, i
tho lieiivy weather of the past week i
had somewhat subsided, and the
steamer was gotten off the rocks at
an early hour yesterday morning.
The Santa Maria arrived off Ka-
hului, after dark on 'Thursday
ing. She had a large cargo of oil
for Maui and it was intended to
bring her into the harbor at day
light. In some manner she got too
close into shore and hit the reef
not very far from where the ship
Sewall was stranded some months
ago. As soon as she hit, an attempt
was made to lighten her, and some
thousands of barrels of oil were al
lowed to flow into the sea. For a

HONOLULU, Nov. 2S It was
only the change in conditions in
the territory that enabled tho Me
lnorny family to obtain the large
area of the land from Bishop estate
at the price paid for it. There is,
I believe, a solid tract of one hun
dred and fifty-six acres, most of it
as finely located as any in the
county, and it is to be opened up
as residence sites. Negotiations be
gan about nine months ago, and
were progressing satisfactorily when
Mr. Will Mclncrny, in whom the
title is now vested, decided to drop
it. Later he took it up at tho re
quest of the Bishop estate and, still
later, when the depression in the
sugar industry came, he dropped it
again. Recently he went to the
coast and left matters in the hands
of A. J. Campbell, who was deputiz
ed to complete the arrangements,
and when Mr. Mclncrny returned
home last Monday and heard the
report, he decided to close the deal
and tho papers were signed next
day. It is generally believed that
the estate was tempted to sell be
cause of a shrinkage in many of the
securities held by it, and by the
demand made upon it for the new
building, not that the SllS,7o0 will
make any appreciable dent in tho
earth where tho new structure will
go, but it will help. For a long
time the Bishop estate has com
plained of lack of funds; interest
and taxes, the latter principally,
were eating into the capital of the
estate and now as the Tax assessor
taxed this tract,instead of allowing
it to be considered school property,
it is in a position whore it has to
let go some holdings.
CUT INTO LOTS.
All of tho lowor land in this tract
will be cut into lots 60 ny 100 and
sold for $350, on the easy payment
plan. The land sloping up toward
Alowa will be in larger lots, and
bring a much higher price, for the
the vessel, and the captain's room
was Hooded. Tho oil calmed down
the sea a lot, besides lightening the
ship.
When the plight of the steamer
became known, the tug Leslie Bald-
win was sent out with a scow in
tow. A large anchor was taken out
and dropped from the seow, and
attached by a cable to the steamer.
Then, under her own power, the
even-.Santa Maria was hauled olT the
reef.
From what can ho learned, it
seems that the steamer hit the reef
while trying to make the Kahului
harbor and, as soon as the shock
was felt, the anchors were let go,
and the vessel was brought to a
standstill.
From a casual survey, there ap
pears to bo no serious damage to tho
hull of tin- steamer and she is mak
ing no water.
Residence Lots Kellett's
view is unequaled and the soil ex
cellent. Already Charles Desky
who is to be the selling agent for
the Mclnerny's, has men cutting
roads and clearing the land of,brush
of which there is plenty. Mr. Mc
lncrny tells me it will all ho grub
bed out and cleared properly. On
one part of the tract there there is
an abundance of Hawaiian blue
stone which, in itself, is valuable to
builders and for the purpose of mak
ing curbing, of which there is al
ready two thousand feet laid. The
demand for the lots was immediate,
and persons are filing applications
for blocks of three to six with a
view to building ou them in most
instances, or holding for speculative
purposes. It will mean business
activity from tho jump, for new
houses mean more lumber and build
ing material and plenty of work for
carpenters. This is tho biggest deal
in real estato that has been record
ed in a long while; doings in dirt
have fallen oil so in tho past few
months that real estato dealers have
had little or nothing to report.
KI'.LLIiTT'S CASK.
It seems to mo that if there are
no obstacles thrown in tho way, the
Kellett investigation must soon close.
Without taking into account any of
tho testimony of the "bulls" who
are anxious to got tho man out of
tho service, thoro has been enough
damaging testimony introduced to
warrant tho dismissal of Kellett
according to tho ideas of laymen.
If half of what has been said by
prisoners is true, and discounting
tlio other half, ho is unfit to hold
a placo where ho has authority over
prisoners who for thoir own salva
tion, dare not talk back, and who
are cufTod and boaton by an ollicer
for telling what does not accord
with his porsonal views. The man

should himself be battered, and

New Armory Will Be Scene Of
Joy -Mnstjuerade Ball
And Show.
On New Year's Kve, at the
new Honolulu Armory, there j
will be an entertainment that will
put all previous ones of the same
kind in the discard. Tho Hono
lulu Lodge No. 616, B. P. O. Klks
is giving a grand masquerade ball
and combination vaudeville show,
and it promises to be an Inter-
Island affair that will attract people
from all over the group.
It is the aim of the Klks to gi ve
the grandest affair of its kind that
has ever been attempted in this
territory. Much money is being
spent in the way of decorations and
employing professional decorators,
and all the efforts will be to turn the
huge armory into a bower of beauty.
A special vaudeville show will be
given during the eveninc and novel
features, for which the Klks are
famous, will astonish and delight
the masqueraders. The ball will
be an all-night affair, and will be
conducted on the lines of those of
the large cities on the mainland.
Costutners in San Francisco, Port-
laud, Oregon and Los Angeles
have been communicated with and
many startling costumes are sure
to be in evidence.
As a large portion of the proceeds
of the entertainment will be given
to charity, a double inducement is
presented to people to attend the
affair. The Klks have a way of
doing things on a large scale, and
the New Year's ball should eclipse
even the most ambitious efforts of
the Order in the past.
The new Armory floor contains
no less than two hundred thousand
feet of floor space, so there should
be plenty of room even for the
huge crowd that will surely attend
the ball.
Vacation
II. Gooding Field, tho expert in
vestigator and practical business
organizer, was on Maui for a few
days this week. Ho was on a vaca
tion from his arduous duties as a
"prober" of Hawaii county finan
cial conditions, and took the oppor
tunity of paying his brother, W. II.
Field, a visit.
Wo are gradually clearing up
matters on Hawaii," said Mr
Field, and I am glad to say that
the county is getting back some of
tho money that went astray during
the past few years. Wo are work
ing hard on the proposition, and
have still a lot more to do. 'There
may bo some more startling ex
posures within a short time.
"The general opinion is that the
whole matter should be followed to
its logical end, and that everything
should bo cleared up. Thoro have
been somo most daring things done
in tho past did I say glaring or
daring? and, for the best interests
of tho community, such things
should bo made impossible of rciie
tition. "There is still a tremendous
amount of work to bo done ami, as
soon as I get back, 1 will have to
start digging again."
Mr. Field saw a good deal of
Maui while- here, and traveled pretty
well all over the scenic jarts of
this island. He declared himself
delighted with what ho saw, and
hopes that somo day ho may spend
a few months here in order to get
acquainted with ovoryonc.

Thanksgiving was duly observed
in Wailuktt ami all over Maui, for
that matter. The day was one of
good cheer and the residents of
Maui all had a joyous time. The
famous bird was in evidence on
most tables, and the necessary
"fixings" were also to be seen.
There was an nir of prosperity
shown, and even the low price of
sugar and the prospects of no price
at all should Wilson get his way
did not make anv difference in
the festivities.
The stores closed, in most cases,
for at least half a day, and the em
ployees went home and had their
turkey in comfort, without the
thought of having to rush back to
work again in the afternoon.
There were many dinner parties
and there was also a special dinner
at the Maui Hotel. Many people
who dislike the hard work of gel
ting up a dinner at home, availed
themselves of the opportunity to
dine at the hotel. Visitors from
Lahaina were seen in town and
they all seemed to enjoy themselves.
The next great date is Christmas
Day, and already plans are on foot
for entertainments to take place
during the festive season.

When Jael Hola thought the
usual thoroughfare along Market
street was not good enough for
him audhis automobile, hegotbusy
and thought out another scheme,
lie turned his car onto the sidewalk
and drove along from Borba's
store to Kalua Lane. This remark
able stunt was performed at half
past ten o'clock at night and, for
tunately, there were but few people
about.
Just as Jael was driving back on
to the street a police officer, who
had watched the performance, ar
rested him. Jael was surprised
and could only say that he had
mistaken the sidewalk for the road.
That explanation did not go, how
ever, and he had to put up bail
money to guarantee that he wotdd
appear in court on Tuesday.
Judge McKay was astounded at
the evidence given in the case and,
after looking at Jael for a minute,
asked if it was the defendant's
first offense. The reply being in
the affirmative, a fine of $5 was
inflicted on the daring chauffeur.
