HONOLULU, Jan. 2. I do not
recall any reception of si government
official since the days of the monar
chy which equaled in any respect
Jthat of Governor Pinkham. Tndecd

''instead of the President of the

organizations in the getting together

the Elks who arc going to make

in the deck. Between us, I believe

The reception brought out in
fullest force the climbers who look
ifito the future and try to forget the
past. In numbers and enthusiasm,
'the crowd was big and the affair
luroved an epoch in 'the history of
Honolulu, if not, the islands. An
other event that will burn the affair
still deeper into the minds of the
public an event almost as notable
is the announcement of the with

XMAS TIJ12ES.
The Malihini Christinas tree for
for this year is now a matter of
history and, I presume, there were
a number of well-to-do children of
better-to-do-parents, who had two
or three pairs of stockings well fillet
with pop-coi n, school tablets, toys
and candies all of which were won
derfully acceptable. 1 cannot, how
ever, believe that a malihini tree or
a kaniaaina tree to which the tickets
arc distributed solely by missions
exactly fills the bill. We, who
have watched the custom of giving,
since tho inception of tho tree by
visitors from the mainland, cannot
but feel that there arc many deser
ving poorwhodo not ally themselves
with these organizations. Those
people, by tho rule which governs
distribution, go without tho gifts
for which tho money is collected.
This statement will be met by the
suggestion that these children should
join a mission even though it be
solely for the opportunity of getting
a toy. This year there were twelve
hundreds or more dollars collected
for tho purposQ of buying the sur
prises which were handed out to
the children. Just how many of
those children enjoyed getting gifts
from the Salvation Army tree, or
any of tho many church Christinas
trees, deponent saith not becauso he
does not know. If only one got in
under tho big top and saw tho show,
it was just that many that should
have been outside tho canvas. A
suggestion that is meeting with
much mental hospitality is that
which says a full stomach dolighteth
tho hungry more than toys and,
hereafter, itwelvc hundred or what
ever number of dollars may be
subscribed might be expended in
food and distributed in Jiaskots
among the worthy poor. There

Maui Health
Is Excellent
Maui has a clean bill of health
for tho New Year and Chief Sanit
ary Inspector Osmer feels fairly
happy. Ho has had several cases
of scarlet fever to attend to, and
tho last patient was released from
quarantine on New Years Eve.
The Inspector has been sent a lot
of disinfectants and drugs from tho
headquarters of tho board of health,
lie is now busy distributing these
at Lahaina, Paia, Wailuku and
liana. At those stations there will
always bo supplies of necessary
drugs and other articles.
There is every chance that an
other sanitary inspector will bo
appointed soon to assist Chiof
Ostnor. Tho work of cleaning up
is heavy on tho shoulders of the
inspector and, although tho assist
ant at Lahaina is doing a lot of
work there is still room for an
other man.
Chinese Aviator is Bringing Hydroaeroplane This Time
Will Do New Stunts and Show Combination
Air and Sea Craft at Kahului.
TOM GUNN IN HIS
Tom Gunn is going to keep his
word regarding an exhibition of
his hydroaeroplane, and next week
he will arrive on Maui with his
wonderful air-sea craft, Gunn has
niade.several successful flights in
the combination airship, and he
will give an exhibition that he
promises will even eclipse his fine
display of a few months ago.
The airman will lake passengers
for a fly and skip along the sur
face of the water at a fifty mile
clip. The sensation is said to be
delightful and when the huge bird
like machine rises from the water
and takes tho air, there is nothing

JAPANESE BUNCO STEERER
ROOKS HIS COUNTRYMEN
Nipponese From Seattle Gathers Coin By Promising to
Send Yacht For Laborers -Who, Were to Be
Conveyed to a Beautiful "South Island."
When T. Iwata, a Japanese from
Seattle, arrived in Hawaii nei,
he certainly "struck oil." He
first 'of all secured a round trip,
first class ticket to. and from
Hawaii, and then started out to
dupe all the Japanese he could get
to stand for his ' gold brick" pro
position. In all, Iwata secured
about $1,000 of easy money, and
then landed in the toils of the law.
The Get Rich Quick" man even
visited Maui where he collected
money from some suckers."
It seems, from the story of Chief
of Detectives McDuffie, that Iwata
simply went around among the
Japanese and told a story of how
he was recruiting labor fora "South
Island," where the hardest task
required of a man was to sit in
comfort under a banana tree while
a dusky princess fanned him with
a palm leaf. Wages were high for
this kind of work, declared the
bunco stecrer, and there was such
a demand for good looking Japan
ese, that the owners of the islands
had sent out recruiters to Hawaii.
Strange to say, there were found
hundreds of boobs who swallowed
this beautiful story, and dug up
real money in order to insure their
being allowed to, later on, produce
more coin for passage money to
the delightful South Island."
On Maui Iwata caught a few.

strate how the hydroaeroplane can
be utilized as a life saver, and it is
said that a well known local man
will act the part of the drowning
person. Tom will swoop down
from the atmosphere and alight
alongside the man in the water.
The man will be picked up and
taken to land in the airship. This
stunt will astonish' most people,
itis claimed.
As soon as Gunn arrives, trial
flights will be made in order to
make sure that everything is ready
for the big day of sport later on.
The date of the exhibition will be
announced next week. M. II.

number was given as 187, Kahului,
also parted with some hard earned
cash. These gentlemen were told
that a yacht would call for them
next year at half-past three o'clock.
Iwata always give receipts and
sometimes he did not sign his name

cular about a little thing like that.
The gentleman of high finance
overreached himself in Honolulu
and, upon being arrested, was
found to have all sorts of articles in
his grip. His receipt book stubs
and his bank hooks showed that
he had gathered in a good harvest.
He, when confronted with evidence
that could not be disputed, gave

care of Officer Carter and was

upon arrival at the metropolis of
Hawaii. That is cheering news
to his victims, but there is no
chance of their getting their money

Al Castle's Team Proved Too Good For Home Nine
But By Narrow Margin Score, Morning Game
7 to B Afternoon 2 to 1.
Auwe! All Maui was beaten
twice on New Year's Day hv the
Punahou Insehall nine and, al
though the margin was only one
run in each instance, tho victories
were sufficient to prevent tho home
team carrying off the honors. In
the first game on Thursday morn
ing the Puns won by a score of 7 to
(, and in the second game in the
afternoon, again slipped home win
ner. by 2 to 1.
The afternoon game was a good
one and no one can kick about a 2
to 1 defeat. Still, there were many
fans who thought that Maui should
have just about brought home tho
bacon. There was too much an
xiety to steal, and too many efforts
to turn sure two-baggers into im
possible three sackers.
In the morning game eyor
pitched, and Soares cam-lit! for
Maui. Meyer pulled himself out of!
several holes when it looked as if
tho Puns would add many more
runs to tlir already high total.
The field support that Meyer got
was not the best, and ho did well to
make so close a game of it.
The afternoon battery for Maui
was Hal and Soares and the men
UlU well. Both of them worn conrl
at tho bat also and the best wallops
of tho day came from their hands.
The morning battery of the Puna-
hous was Sadler and Lyman. In
the afternoon Al. Castle and Lyman
did duty. Both batteries were good
enough to get the Maui scalps and
that was all there was to it. The
Punahou infield and outfield did
good work and every time a hall was
skied a Pun man would bo ready
waiting under the sphere when it
came down.
It was a great day of sport and
tho attendance was fine. At least
one hundred automobiles were rang
ed around the ground and hundreds
of fans were seated in the grand
stand and on the bleachers. The
Paia band was in the attendance and
played sdiiic pleasant selections.
The police arrangements were ex
cellent and the sheriff and deputy
saw that there was no chance of a
mixup. The sheriff had used the
county prisoners to decorate the
grandstand bleachers and the en
New Officers

evening for the ensuing year. Pour
past masters were present and took
part in the ceremonies. They were
Daniel II. Case, Benjamin Wil

hunting. The whole effect was
splendid, and visitors to Maui pass
ed many complimentary remarks
about tho way things were done
hero.
Tho Maui hoys looked very neat
in their uniforms and the new caps
showed up in great style. Manager
Harold Uieo was on the job all tho
time and ho wore a pleased sniilo
when he saw tho largo crowd pour
ing into tho grounds. That Maui
was beaten onTliursday did not wor
ry Mr. Rieemuch. He knows that
his team has five or six more weeks
practise ahead before tackling
the Honolulu bunch again. That the
.Maui men will he in better form next
month, goes without saying. Maui
always bucks up better than ever
after a defeat.
George Cunimings was Johnnv
on the spot and ho did some tall
rooting for the team he captains.
George is always to be depended
upon to got as much noise as possi
ble out of himself on an occasion like
that of Thursday.
