Maui Delegates At
Civic Convention
Given Royal Reception, Well Enter
tainedInteresting Tapers And
Profitable Discussion Next Con
vention, A Year Hence, To Come
To Maui
The Maul delegates to the Civic
Convention In Honolulu returned dur
ing the week, with reports of a good
time and Interesting and profitable
sessions. One Important accomplish
ment was the capture of the 1918 con
vention for this Island, the affair to
take place in Wailuku next September.
The Mauites were met at the wharf
In Honolulu by the home committees
and hand, and escorted to their head

Saturday, while Sunday was given
over to an excursion around Oahu,
with luncheon at the Haleiwa hotel.
Sunday night Kev. Carey Peters ad
dressed the convention at Central
Union church, and naturally nil oX the
Maui delegates were present from
force of habit, if for no other reason,
of course.
The regular business of the conven
tion began at 9 o'clock Monday morn
ing and took up most of that and the
following day. Monday night an ex
cellent vaudeville program was staged
by the Honolulu Ad. Club at the Bijou
theater. Maui was there In force and
with a big noise, and thoroughly en
Joyed the entertainment.
So much of the time on Tuesday
was taken up with the reading and
discussion of papers that a part of
Maui's set program had to be omitted.
The papers left over will be printed,
however, and distributed later.
The big banquet at the Moana hotel
Tuesday night was a feature of the
convention. It was presided over by
ornier Governor George R. Carter.
Mr. W. O. Aiken responded for Maul
during the speech-making part of the
evening. At one stage of the proceed
ings a collection was taken for the
Red Cross, nearly $1100 being realized.
At 10 o'clock next morning a majori
ty of the Maui delegates boarded the
Mauna Kea for home tired but very
well pleased with the results of the
convention.
The Invitation to hold the 1918 con
vention on Maul was extended by Mr.
P. H. Case and was accepted by ac

Water Troubles
Lead To Court
First A Fine In Court Then A Suit
For Damages In A Large Sum,
Next A Fight And Counter Arrest
For Assault Battery
Lant week, in Wailuku, one John
Frietas was arrested on a charge of
assault and battery on Mrs. Sardinha,
an old woman, and In the district court
was fined $30 and costs. That was
the first chapter. r
On Friday Mrs. Sardinha brought
suit against Frietas for damages in
the sum of $5,000, claiming to have
been injured to that extent by the
assaults of the accused. The second
chapter.
Tuesday night another slate of war
was reached in the Frietas-Sardinha
neighborhood, during which Frietas is
said to have retired from the battle
field considerably worn. At a late
hour he is alleged to have aroused
several policeand other county officials
from their respective slumbers to
show them an ugly cut on his head
which he said had been made by a
rock and that Mrs. Sardinha threw
the rock. Chapter three.
On Wednesday Frietas had Mrs. Sar
dinha arrested and charged with as
sault and battery. The case came on
in the police court Thursday morning,
but was set over to next Thursday.
Fourth chapter.
Judge Wm. A. McKay will supply
the fifth chapter, on the date above
mentioned.
It is stated that the troubles between
Frietas and Mrs. Sardinha have result
ed directly from the dry weather.
They are neighbors, and a question of
rights to water started the racket. Had
the weather man remained "on the
job" during the summer months there
would doubtless have been peace and
happiness where now are to be found
only bitternes and lawsuits.
