Farrington of Ad Club Injects GingerPlans
For Civic Convention Take Shape.
Ad Club Stunts.
Willi rousing cheers for the Maui
Clininljcr of Commerce, and the
Honolulu Ad Club, nutl with (he
spirit of enthusiasm hiyh for the
future of Miiui, the sccoiul Gut-To-1
gather Dinner of the local chamber,
was brought to a most successful
conclusion at a late hour on Thurs
day night. The gathering was re
presentative of all Maui, and over
one hundred guests departed at the
close of the evening feeling that a
great amount had been accomplish
ed towards the future welfare of the
island.
Practically the whole trend of the
talk of the evening was on the pos
sibilities of the tourist business for
Maui, and the improvements which
need to bo made for properly caring
for this business. A discussion
of the arrangements being made for
the meeting of the civic convention,
to be held in Wailuku, October 3rd
to 5th, also received some attention.
'o small measure of the success
of the affair was due to W. II. Far
rington, president of the Honolulu
Ad Club, and vice-president of the
Honolulu Chamber of Commerce,
who came up expressly to attend
the dinner. Ho was the principal
speaker of the occasion, and he suc
ceeded in imparting to a consider
able degree tin appreciation of the
spirit which has made the Ad Club
in the past few years, one of the
strongest factors for progress in Ho
nolulu. The dinner, which was served in
the Maui Hotel, was excellent. It
began shortly after 7 o'clock, and it
was 11 o'clock before the largo gath
ering finally -dispersed. Frank F.
Baldwin, president of the chamber
of commerce, presided, and after the
first few courses had been served he
started the speech-making part of
the program, by explaining some
thing of tho objects of the dinner,
and by bringing up the work which
has been done in preparing for the
big civic convention to bo entertain
ed this year by the local chamber
lie then called upon 13. It. Bevins,
secretary of the committee which
has had this matter in hand, for his
report. This report is given in con
siderable detail in another column.
Mr. Farrington was then intro
duced, and for nearly an hour lie
held the close attention of all with a
pointed and witty address on the
objects of co-operative community
work in general and onthcproblems
which particularly apply to Maui
In reference to the civic convention,
which Mr. Bevins had justannounc-
ed had been set for October 3rd to
5th inclusive, Mr. Farrington stated
that the Ad Club tho Honolulu
Chamber of Commerce, and the
it
Kauai Chamber of Commerce, would
probably send over a very largo do
legation. Ho explained tho plan of
chartering a steamer, or perhaps
two steamers, for tho trip, ajul de
clared that tho delegates who couk
not bo accommodated in tho Ioca
hotels, will bo prepared to use their
Teuls for llaleakala.
Kdgar Morton, of Makawao, who
has been doing a good deal of busi
ness this summer is conducting
parties up llaleakala, in preparing
to errcct two large tents on the
brink of the crater for the accom
vessels as hotels, and 'bus would
impose no unnecessary burden on
Maui in in caring for tho largo
number.
Mr. Farrington, who had just
made his first ascent of llaleakala,
spoke- very strongly of the necessity
of making provision for caring for
tho tourist business, which he de
clared is sure to come in increasing
volume. lie emphasized tho value
of tho "tourist crop" above all other
crops, and suggested that this sub
ject one of Territory wide inter
est might well be made tho lead
ing topic of discussion for the com
ing convention. He impressed
strongly tho importance of taking
up one problem at a timeu and de
voting united energy upon it until
it bo accomplished.
Following Mr. Farrington, five-
minuto talks were made by Dr. Ian
McLaren, Dr. W. L. Maples, Will
Cooper, W. 0. Aiken, and oth
ers. All o! these speakers dwell on
one phase or another of providing
better roads and outer necessities
for tho entertainment of visitors to
tho islands.
A wireless message was read from
H. P. Wood, secretary of tho Ha
waii Promotion Committee, adding
to the weight of insistanco upon some
improvement of tho accommoda
tions on llaleakala. Tho message
was as follows:
Impossible to bo present at get-
together dinner. Urge for me the
great necessity for llaleakala im
provement, and tell of its great
value as u sourse of income for
Maui. Over 30 people have ascen
ded llaleakala this month. Multi
ply this number by 50 will give a-
mount left on the island; and that
is but a very small beginning.
(signed) II. P. WOOD.''
Interspersed with tho addresses
were somo excellent musical selec
tions. Harry Washburn Baldwin
sang two delightful solos, and a
vocal quintet, and a trio consisting
of Messrs. Rattray, Lindsay and
Lillico, filled in the intervals in
most acceptablo manner. Mis3
Mary Hoffman acted as acconi
paniest. Following tho regular program,
Mr. Farrington instituted a typical
Ad Club session, with assistance
of George S. Curtis, an old Ad.
club member, and in rapid order,
amidst much merriment, L. von
Tempsky, F. F. Baldwin, D. C.
Lindsay, and C. D. Lufkin were
vociferously proclaimed members
of tho Honolulu organization.
By way of retaliation, President
Baldwin then instituted an inform
al session of tho Maui Chamber of
Commerce, and both Farrington
and Curti3 woro elected members,
and dutifully paid their dues of $G
each.
From tho success of the dinner,
it seems very certain that these
booster gatherings will soon como to
bo a regular institution, many ex
pressions favoring such plan being
heard during tho evening.
modation ot ins guests. He pur
poses erecting permanent frames
of iron for these tents, and will re
move the covers when not in use.
He also plans to warm the tents by
heated stones. The tents arc to be
located so that a view of the sun
rise and the contour of the crater
may be had without leaving their

Undetected
Reward Of S200 Offered Dy County
and By Chinese Societies. Dar
ing Trip to Molokai Leads to
Groundless Suspicion.
Half a dozen clues as to the
identity of the murderer of Lee Tin
Duck,- the aged produce peddler,
of Kuln, who was brutally clubed
to death and robbed, on the trail
near Maalaea landing a week ago
last Wednesday, have been run out
by the police, and have proved
false. Others are now being fol
lowed up, but identity of the cold
blooded slayer is as much a mys
tery as ever. Several arrests have
been made, but it is practically cer
tain that the right man is yet to be
located.
Sheriff Clem Crowell lias been
working personally night and day
on the matter, and the entire police
force has been given practically no
rest. A number of trusties at
the jail, have even been pressed in
to service.
On Monday word was received
from Molokai that three Filipinos
had coiiie over from Maui in a tiny
canoe, and the circumstances were
so suspicious that Crowell at once
secured the Gay launch at Lahaina
and made the trip to Molokai, La-
nai, and back to Lahaina in the one
afternoon. The suspects were fin
ally overhauled at Kaauapali, but
had no difficulty in proving an
alabi. It seems they arc fishermen,
and had made the trip to Molokai
looking for a new fishing ground.
As their canoe was very small,
and it has been many years since
the trip across the channel has been
made in such a craft, their arrival
created much speculation and sus
picion. v
1 lie Chinese all over Maui are
much exercised over the murder,
and the Lahaina, Kuln, and Wai
luku Chinese communities prompt
ly subscribed $50 each as a reward.
This with $50 offerd by the county
makes $200 now offered for the
capture of the slayer. The reward
will probably bef urlher increased as
other Chinese clubs are heard from
Sheriff Crowell is now of the
opinion that the crime was com
mitted by a Hawaiian, and that
there was nut one man engaged in
the bloody work. A Hawaiian,
whose eratic movements from Ki-
hei, up through Kula attracted at
tention, was arrested early in the
week on suspicion, but although
the police are holding him on an
other charge, it is not believed that
he knows anything about the crime
in question.
Canneries Working Overtime
The pincanplo canneries in tho
Haiku district are beginning to
work overtime and Sundays in order
to take caro of tho rapidly ripening
fruit. Somo difiiculty has been ex
perienced in securing sufiicicnt labor,
and wages, it is reported havo ad
vanccd to something like SoU per
month.
Nahiku Postoffice Moved
The Nahiku postoffice has been
moved to upper Nirhiku, and now
occupies a portion of the Nahiku
Rubber Company's store building
The change will be appreciated by
a large portion of the patrons o
the office.
Come Out
Within another week it is expect
ed that Maui candidates for legisla
tive honors will be as thick as-bees
around a molasses jug. Up to the
present, while there has been a good
deal of coy flirting among supposed
candidates, there has been a hesti
ancy to make tho plunge. At a
meeting of tho 3rd Republican pre
cinct club, of Lahaina, last Satur
day night, the names of a number
of men were suggested for both the
louso and the senate, and given as
surance of support in that district.
Edward Waiaholo, A. N. Hayscl-
den, and George P. Cooko wero pro
posed for the Senate, and Charles
Makckau and Edward Waiaholo for
the House. All of these men have
had previous experience in the legis
lature, Cooke, Makckau, and Wai-
iholo having served during the last
session.
P. J. Goodness, has decided to'go
into the race again also. He makes
his formal announcement today.
John Wilcox of liana, also makes
his announcement today in another
column. Ho is candidate for the
House.
The matter of tho dclegatcship is
worrying the legislative asnirants a
good deal, and there is much test
ing of opinion going on to decide
low Rice and Kuhio stack up with
tho olectorato of the island. It
seems most likely that most of the
candidates will decide that Rice is
tho winner as far as Maui is con
cerned, at least, and bo climbing
into his bandwagon. J. W. Ka
waakoa, of Kaupo, is tho only
avowed candidate, who thus far has
the courage to declare himself on
this delicate point. lie has declared
for the Prince.
One Maui progressive has thus far
made his appearance, this being
Jack P. Kaonohi, of Lahaina, who
seeks tho Progressive nomination for
the senate from this county.
Tho Republican Executive Com
mittee, of Makawao district, at an
interesting meeting held on Wednes
day afternoon in the Makawao court
house requested A. F. Tavares and
J. K. Pun to announce themselves
candidates for tho republican nomi
nation for members of tho house of
representatives, and George P.
Cooke, for the senate.
J. W. Kawaakoa, of Kaupo,
in a letter to the Niiws states
that he will make the race
for the nomination for member of
the house of representatives, on the
republican ticket. lie states that
he does this at the earnest behest
of many of his friends. Mr. Ka
waakoa has sat in the House dur
ing a former legislature.

HONOLULU TO CIIAUTI2I: STUAMHIiS
According to W. R. Farrington,
president of the Honolulu Ad Club,
and vice president of the Honolulu
Chamber of Commerce, the Oahu
and Kauai delegates to the big
convention plan to charter one, or
possibly two steamers to bring
them over, and to use them as
hotels during their stay here. Al
ready the Inter-Island steamer,
Kiaulea has been tentatively spok
en for, and another will be secured
should it be needed. The Honolulu
commercial bodies believe that the
work to be accomplished at this
third convention will' be of great
importance to the Territory, and are
making preparationsaccordingly. At
the meeting of the Honolulu chain- '
her last week, the matter, received
consideration, and was referred to
a committee. Already post cards
have been sent out among the
members, to ascertain which will be
able to go, and also asking forsug-v
gestions.
"This is to be no mere junketing
trip", declared Mr. Farrington,
who made the trip to Maui this
week especially to attend the Get
Together dinner on Thursday
night. ' ' We arc not coiningup hereto
be entertained but for serious work.
The delegates can work much'-bet
ter if we are not scattered
too
much, and while some will no
doubt wish to be with Maui
friends, I hope generally there will
be no idea of finding accommoda
tions for us in private families. I
am sure that with our steamers and
the Maui hotels we shall fr.re ex
cellently." League Series To Be
Resumed Tomorrow
The regular baseball series, which
way interrupted by the visits of the
All-Service and All-Student toanis
during tho past several weeks, will
