Inspector Hare Issues Call For Tenders
For Furnishing A Suit
able Building
MUST BE SUPPLIED BY FEBRUARY 1
Structure To Have Not Less Than 875
Square Feet Floor Space Lots
Possibly Available
Frank J. Hare, postoffice Inspector,
came to Maui Saturday morning to
look nto several matters connected
with his department, the most im
portant, perhaps, being that of a new
postoflice building at Wailuku. Ho
returned to Honolulu Monday night.
The inspector found that the post
office accomodations at the county
seat were not satisfactory, the build
ing being old, not properly arranged
and too small; and decided that steps
for a new building should be taken at
once. Before leaving he drafted a
notice to the public, the following be
ing the most important points in it:
"The undersigned will receive pro
posals up to and including October
20, 1917, for the furnishing of. suitable
quarters for postoflice purposes at
Wailuku, Hawaii, under a lease for
five or ten years from February 1,
1918, in accordance with the attached
blank, which, as will be noted,
calls for the furnishing of rent, heat,

Tennis Tournament
Develops Fine Games
, Tennis is still the craze on Maui,
judging from the number of games
that are in progress. During
the week the drawings were made for
the men's handicap singles for mem
bers of the Wailuku Sugar Co., court,
Wall & Dougherty cup trophy, one
game having already been played, in
which Caleb Hums, the new assistant
manager of the Wailuku Sugar Co.,
defeated Warren Alston 6-2 6-0.
The following games have been set
to be played this week: Friday, Craw
ford vs. Townsley; Saturday, Hansen
vs. Hoogs, and Penhallow vs. Aiken;
Sunday, Blair vs. Engle, and Rietow
vs. Bento. It. B. Rietow was the win
ner of this tournment last year.
In order to create more interest
among the ladies, Mrs. Caleb Burns
has offered to put up a cup for All
Maui ladies singles. Owing to the
absence of any reliable data for the
handicaps it has been decided that
there will be no handicaps, and this
should bring forth some very exciting

ment to Japan, where, it la said, they
will be used in the manufacture of
war munitions. It is understood that
similar purchases have been nmJ) of
other canneries in the Territory, and
that Japan hopes to aecure quit a
lot of rough material in this way.
Last Sunday's Game
There was only one baseball game
last Sunday, the Portuguese taking a
fall out of the Japanese. The Chinese
failed to show up, forefeitting the
game to the Hawaiis.

dne ceased, prior to her sailing Wed
nesday night, the police arrested a
Japanese called Takayashl Gishi, he
having in possession brass and copper
weighing about 500 pounds which he
was trying to ship to Honolulu. Metal

$40, at the same time stating that he
had purchased the metal from Spani

names of the men.
The following day Juan Moliva, Mo

man employed to clean up around the
Spanish camp on the plantation, were
arrested. Both confessed to having
stolen the metal and in the district

Capt. W. Matson
Dies Suddenly
The Kahului Railroad Co., received
a wireless message yesterday morning
from Alexander Ac Baldwin, Honolulu,
announcing that the information had
just arrived of the death in San Fran
cisco of Captain Wm. Matson, head of
the Matson Navigation Co. This news
followed a press wireless to the effect
that Captain Matson was seriously ill,
the trouble being a cerebral hemor
rhage. Captain Matson was personally well
known to many people on Maui. When
a comparatively young men he ran a
sailing vessel between Islands ports
and San Francisco, frequently coming
to this Island. He had much to do
with organizing the company which
bears his name and was a large stock
holder in it.
Girl Knocked Down
By Auto In Wailuku
Struck By Ford Car Of Konda In
Congested Street And Narrowly
Escapes Death
Rose Morchena Garban, Spanish
girl, aged 11. was run down by a Ford
touring car opposite the makai corn
er of the postoflice, Wailuku, at 7
o'clock Wednesday evening and quite
painfully injured, although not dan
gerously so. She was picked up by
bystanders and taken into the office
of Dr. Osmers, where emergency at
tention was given, after which the
patient, was removed to the hospital.
The car was driven by T. Konda,
the eighteen year old son of S. Konda.
super'ntendent of the Japanese girls'
boarding school, Wailuku, and was
proceeding down the street from the
direction of the Maul hotel. Two
cars were standing on oppsile sides
at the postollice, and young Konda
turned to the left to pass around the
one nearest the building. At that
juncture the girl left the postoflice,
passed back of the standing car and
was struck just as she emerged into
the street. The car struck her on
the left shoulder and drove or carried
her about fifteen feet, where she was
p;cked up.
The Ford car was tested at the
police station later and it was found
that the brakes were not working well.
No arrest was made, and probably
will not be.
Probably Accidental
Despite strong suspicions held at
the time, the police have been wholly
unable to find anything to indicate
that the Anderson house, near Hana,
which was burned last Friday, was
intentionally set afire. The house and
everything around was very dry, and
the police now think that the blaze
started from a cigarette stump, thrown
on or under the verandah. Although
the building was well furnished, no
one lived in it.

Wailuku Gets A Shower
There was a feeling of relief in the
lower stretches of Maui Tuesday when
the clouds began to extend out from
the mountains over the island. Light
rain began to fall and kept up, at in
tervals, for several hours. Wailuku
probably had more than in two weeks
before. Since then, however, it has
been fair and hot and moisture is bad
ly needed at every hand.
More Pupils In School
Statistics completed by the Depart
ment of Education show that there
were 237 more children in the schools
of Maui in September than at the
closing of the term in June. The
June closing total was 4819, while
5050 were on the rolls of the Maui
schools in September. The gain
throughout the Territory was 2240.
Allowing forty to the room, this in
crease alone would call for 56 addir
tional teachers.
