Filipinos
Hold
Japan
There was a hold-up at the Ki
awe Camp, near Lahaina, last Sat
urday night when two Filipinos
attacked a Japanese and robbed
him after doing the thug act. The
affair was an exciting one for all
concerned in it, and the unfortun
ate Japanese had a warm time
while the hold-up men were doing
him up.
The hold-up was very unex
pected, and the victim had not the
slightest idea that he was in any
danger from thugs till the men
were actually on top of him. The
Japanese says that he was proceed
ing homeward at about ten o'clock
at night when he saw the two fig
ures on the road, ahead of him.
He did not feel alarmed and con
tinued walking. Suddenly, when
he was just abreast of the two men,
they jumped on him and throttled
him. When the Japanese was help
less, the men went through his
pockets and then ran away.
The matter was reported to Dep
uty Sheriff Lindsey and he got busy
on the job. Smart work resulted
in the arrest of the two Filipinos,
and they were charged in the Dis
trict court last Tuesday.

Frui
County Attorney D. II. Case is
raising some fine fruits on his home
lot, and he is having much success
with alligator pears, limes, peaches
and mangoes. All of,the fruit ap
pears to be much above the average
and, as several varieties of each
are being raised, the trees are all
bearing at different times. While
one tree is now yielding ripe alli
gator pears, others are- either in
blossom or with small, green fruit
on them. The limes are splendid
samples and are as large as ordin
ary lemons, with twice as much
juice.
The peaches are ripening and the
method in which they are protect
ed from the ravages of the fruit-fly
should become generally kn6vn.
Each peach is enveloped in a small
paper candy sack. The bag covers
the whole peach and the stem as
well. In this manner Mr. Case
has been able to defy the efforts of
the fruit-fly pest. The fruit ripens
just as well as if it were not cov
ered, and the tip should be follow
ed by all those who desire to pro
tect their fruit.
Figs are another hobby of Mr.
Case and he has some fine speci
mens of the fruit. In fact all the
different fruit trees are bearing
well, and. it all goes to show that
.Wailuku can raise any kind of
fruit as long as the grower devotes
time and attention to the hobby.

MMITTEE RECOMMENDS
PLEBISCITE TO SOLON!
By a motion made by Dr. J. H.
Raymond and duly seconded by H.
A. Baldwin and, finally carried, the
committee appointed at the public
meeting of a month ago, decided
that live County Supervisors of Maui
be recommended to call a plebiscite
to decide whether or not the County
issue bonds to obtain money to car
ry out the scheme of the Olinda re
servoir and other improvements for
Maui. The resolution read as fol
lows :
"That after a thorough investiga
tion into conditions, this Committee
ccommonds to the Board of Super
visors tnat it issue a proclamation
calling tor a plebiscite and take
such other necessary steps as may
bo provided for by law for an isue
of County Bonds for the purpose of
constructing a Reservoir at or near
Olinda, for tho Makawao Water
Works and for such other permanent
public improvements as tho said
Board of Supervisors may deem
wise and proper."
Tho committee that recommend
ed tho plebiscite was made up of tho
following gentlemen: Messrs. Ayers,
H. A. Baldwin, A. Bruno, A. W.
Collins, Hugh Howell, J. K. Kahoo-
kele, C. D. Lufkin and J. II. Ray

The meeting of Wednesday was
called to order at four o'clock by C.
D. Lufkin. Thero were about
twenty people present, besides- the
supervisors. The report of Engi
neer Bruno on tho condition of tho
Kula pipeline was read, and it call
ed attention to tho imperative need
for burying the pipeline and provid
ing somo system of storage.

and more regular supply of water
could bo obtained, lie said that
his opinion was that if a regular
supply of water could bo guaranteed,
tho lino could be rimdo a revenue
producer.
Thero was much discussion about
a minimum water rate, and the
speakers wandered away from the
main object of the meeting, which
was to rencivo the report of the
committee and pass it along to the
supervisors.
Brought back to its bearings, the
meeting went on, and Senator
Baldwin stated that ho thought
thero was crying need for a reser
voir at Olinda, but that the other
improvements should wait, as now
was a bad time for borrowing
money. Tho Senator favored a
plebiscite as to tho advisability of
borrowing $50,000 for a reservoir at
Olinda.-
Hugh Howell moved that $100,
000 bo tho sum that the.plebiscite
voters be asked to decide about.
Ho suggested $00,000 for the reser
voir, $5,000 for tho Kula Sanitari
um, $20,000 for Haim bridges and
$15,000 for tho extension of the
Wailuku water pipeline.
Representative P. Goodness asked
that $25,000 be tacked on for the
Kihoi road. Ho said that tho voters
of tho plebiscite would havo to vote,
item by item, for or against, the
proposed improvements, and he
thought that the Kihoi road item
should bo inserted. As Goodness
was not one of the committee, he
was ruled out of order.
Hugh Howell withdrew his mo
tion and then Dr. Raymond intro
duced the new one. This was car
ried and the meeting adjourned.

(Special Correspondence.)
Mauager.Stender's bunch of ball
players went down to defeat at the
hands of the Waikapu team by a
score of 16 to 14 in a game of base
ball played last Sunday morning.
In the first two innings, the
Waikapus could not make the cir
cuit of the diamond while two
players of the Valley Isle dented
the rubber. It looked as though
the Valley Isle yould hold the Wai
kapus down, but Catcher J. Xaviel
of the Valley Isle was letting all
the balls pass him and the Wai
kapu boys came galloping home
like Cormvell cows, netting 5 runs
on the catcher's errors. The Val
ley Isle managed to score 2 runs
in the third inning. In the fourth
and fifth innings, the Waikapus
scored one run only, and the Val
ley Isle nine was credited with two
runs. In the sixth inning, Pitcher
L. Marlins of the Valley Isle was
an easy mark for the Waikapus,
who were hitting him all over the
field, scoring 4 runs; he was re
lieved by J. Silva. The Waikapus
scored 4 runs in the seventh and 2
more in the ninth. The Valley
Isle made some good bingles in the
eighth and scored 5 runs. In the
last half of the ninth, the Valley
Isle could have scored more than 3
runs, but Manuel Muniz died
miserably at the home plate and
the game ended with a score of 16
to 14 in favor of the Waikapu team
under the leadership of Capt. K.
Cockett.
PAIAS va GYMNASIUM.
In the afternoon game, Manager
Medeiros' aggregation of stalwart
ball tossers put it all over the
Gymnasium bovs, under Manager
Burlcin, by a score of 24 to 12.
Pitcher Hansen of the Gym, was
pitching a good game but he had
very poor support in the infield as
well as the outfield. The Paia
boys were slugging his delivery all
over the field, and most of the runs
were made on errors.
Fred Nunes of the Paias twirled
a nice game for his team and his
offering was a puzzle to the Gym
boys. Manager Burlem's bunch
of boys looked stunning in their
new uniforms of blue and red when
they were out on the diamond, but
they were poor in hitting and field
ing, and also showed lack of team
work.
tomorrow there will be two
grand games such ashave never
been seen before. TheC. A. C. will
play the Kahuluis in the first game
at 1:30 p. in., and the Asahis will
meet the Young Cubs at 3:30 p. in
It is rumored that the Kahuluis
have some new players and this
will strengthen the team. One of
the recruits is a new arrival on
Maui, who, it is said, knows the
art of pitching. The railroad boys
arc hard at practice every day, and
they are determined to come up to
Wailuku and wipe the earth with
the C. A. C. boys. On the morn
ing train, Capt. Ed. Aiona of the
Kahuluis, assisted by two senior
players, will bring a barrel of
whitewash and it is their intention
to carry it aloft to the Wailuku
field and there have it spilled all
over everything.
Since it is nunored that the
Kahului boys are coining full o
hope and confidence to win, Capt
Aki Tom of the C. A. C. has been
busy making preparation for this
great game. His peerless aggre
gatiou ot ball tossers will give

Water
Needed
That the Kula Sanitarium is in
dire need of assistance as regards a
decent supply of water, is tho opin
ion of everyone who knows any
thing about the present horriblo
state of affairs at that institution.
Senator Baldwin who, on Weducs-
lay last, pioposed that an item of
at least $5,000 for the Kula Sam
arium be put on tho improvement
ist suggested bj the plebiscite com
mittee, voiced the sentiments of tho
majority of the people of Maui.
It is felt that tho sanitarium must
bo taken care of, and a proper water-
supply bo assured. The devoted
physician of that institution is wor-
ied to death about his patients, and
f it had not been for the fact that
water was carted a long distance to
tho hospital during the last month,
tho patients would have to be re
moved. Tho Kula Sanitarium is one place
that should get first consideration
it. the hands of the supervisors and,
n tho opinion of everybody, shou'd
be assisted by part of tho bond issue
money, if the plebiscite decides that
the loan be obtained.
them no chance to break open the
whitewash tub. D. Chong, the
twirler for the C. A. C, who has
recently made a study of hypnotism
and who is overwhelmed by classic
learning in the art of twirling dis
played by this pitcher, will cer
tainly hypnotize the swat artists
from Kahului and they will sink
sadly to the plate in the order of
one, two and three, and then, that
fatal fluid of barnwall use will
trickle slowly over those railroad
boys.
The second game will be a hard
fought battle between the Asahis
and the Young Cubs, for both
of these teams were winners in the
opening games of the series about
two Sundays ago.
The Asahis are a crack team, of
course, tncy are, otherwise, tne
Young Cubs would not butt up
against them. The Asahi team is
said to have pitchers who never
walked a man, first baseman who
never made an error, and outfield
ers who never missed a fly.
The Young Cubs team is com
posed of Junior players and they
ire all considered good stickers.
With Tom Cuuuniugs in the box
and Dan Kaiinina at the receiving
end, they will give the Japs a hard
rubbing. Oh! what a licking those
Japs will get?
