. A Notorious Deadbeat
Again In The Toils Here
John Bright, Alias John Baker, Alias John Col
burn, Jr., Alias C. Brickwood Lyman, Etc., Re
turns After Several Years, Starts His Old
Games And Lands In Jail
John Bright, son of James Bright,
cowboy on the Parker ranch at Wal
mea (Kanmela,) Hawaii, was nrrni fin
ed in the Waikiku district court yester
day on the charge of gross cheat, en
tered a plea of guilly and was sen
tenced to imprisonment for nine
months.
This young Hawaiian has had a re
markable career. He was recently
released from Oahu prison, at Hono
lulu, and a little more than two weeks
ago landed at Lahaina under the name
of "John V. Colburn, Jr.," claiming to
be a Bon of John F. Colburn, late
manager of the Kapiolani Estate, Ltd.,
and representing that he had come
to Maui to sell automobiles and to put
other machines in the rent service.
He left Lahaina for Waikiku, leaving
a hotel bill of $30 behind and a num
ber of "phony' contracts unfulfilled.
Arriving at Wailuku, he visited the
office of this paper and caused to be
Inserted in the daily a large display
advertisement, under the caption "La
haina Garage, Packards and Pierce
Arrows for Hire." The ad. went on to
say "I have just opened up in Lahaina
a branch of our Honolulu House and
Mill make regular trips from Wailuku
and Lahaina," etc., and concluded
with "Phone Lahaina Garage."
There is no such place as "Lahaina-Garage."
Congressmen To Be
Here OnlyTwo Days
Will Arrive Friday Night, November
16, And Leave Late Sunday
For Honolulu
The plans for the tour of the Con
gressmen have been so changed that
only two days will be spent on Maul,
in place of three, as was first intend
ed In the original itinerary, Kauai
was not included, but it has since
been deeded to take in that island al
so, thus cutting one day from Maui
and one from Oahu.
The party will arrive hero from
Hilo on the afternoon of Friday. Nov
ember 16, by the Mauna Kea, and will
leave again by the Wilhelmina on
Sunday night, the 18th, for Honolulu.
This will give them two days here,
one of which will be Sunday.
It is reported that two or three of
the Congressmen have backed out of
' h trio on account of the German
raids in the neighborhood of Samoa,
but as there will doubtless he late re
cruits the party coming to the Islands
will probably be as large as original
ly expected.
Higher -Postage Friday
The new rate of three cents on let
ters and two cents on postcards will
go into effect at all postollices of Maul
a week from today. 4
In most places it will be necessary
to use a two-cent and a one-cent
stamp on each letter, for the reason
that the postoliiees have not yet re
ceived the three-cent stamps, for
which they sent rush orders.
Postcards, which already carry one
cent, will require an additional one
cent stamp.

' Fined By The Court
Sam l'upuhi, the Hawaiian accused
of gross cheat in connection with a
land sale matter, was sentenced by
Judge Kdings Thursday morning to
pay a fine of $1,000, or imprisonment
until the judgment is satisfied. At;
torney Eugene Murphy moved for a
new trial.
Bright did not stay long in Wai
kiku. He was in jail here nine years
ago, and doubtless feared meeting old
friends of the police department. He
went over to Paia and slept the first
night at. a Japanese hotel. Then he
hired a machine from a Japanese and
went to the house of an old Hawaiian
named G. W. Maalo, got that party
"on the string" and tried to buy a
piece of land from him. To the Japa
nese; and the old Hawaiian he declared
ids name to be C. Biickwood Lyman,
of Hilo.
The machine of the Japanese he
kept three days, running up a bill
amounting to $52. To all parties
dickered with he claimed to be a bank
er of Hilo, being connected with tne
"Lyman National Hank" there being
no such bank, by the way. So when his
chauffeur "touched" him for a little
coin, he went in the air and offered
10 buy the machine. The Japanese
was agreeable, and consented to sell
out for jmo. that was agreeable to
the resourceful Bright Colburn Ly
man, and the deal' was closed. Of
course "Lyman" did not carry so much
money around in his pockets, so
would have to send a wireless to his
bank at Hilo for the coin. He wrote
out, in pencil, a message addressed to
Americans Win The
1917 Championship
Portuguese Defeated In The Final,
Which Was One Of The Best
Games Of The Entire Season
The final game for the Maui base
hall league championship for the year
1917 was played off on the Wailuku
diamond Sunday afternoon, a fair
sized crowd being present. When the
dust had cleared, the A. A. C's. were
on top, although the battle was one of
the fiercest in local baseball history.
The score was 4 to 3.
The victory gave the A. A. C's. the
Reach prize cup, put up through the
Wailuku Hardware Co., and also the
first leg on the Raymond Ranch cup,
which was left in the hands of the
i'aia team last year.
The batteries were Foster Robinson
and Wadsworth for the A. A. C's. and
Wm. Pal and Pombo for the Portu
guese. In the second innngs the P. A. C's.
made one run, but in the third the
Americans came back with one run,
tying the score.
In the filth inning Cockett made a
Uiree-liaiifcor for the Americans, scor
ns two men and inter getting home
himself, cinching the game for ins
team.
In tiie third inning, with bases full
nd none out, Robinson pitched iv:o

The annual bazaar of the Woman's
Guild of the Church of the Good Shep
herd, held at the Wailuku Gymnasium,
Saturday evening, was, as usual, an
occasion of good fellowship, and
financial success, though the receipts,
about $300, were somewhat less than
those of the bazaar a year ago, due,
in part, probably, to the numerous
demands which the war is making on
many people in the community. How
ever, the officers and members of the
guild are well pleased with the re
sults, and greatly appreciate the pat
ronage received.
Seldom, if ever, has the Gymnasium
looked more attractive than it did
that evening when, in the presence of
more than two hundred people, the
bazaar was opened with a musical
program under the direction of Mrs.
J. C. Villiers. Every number on the
program was well rendered. The
program opened with an instrumental
trio by Messrs. Chillingworth, Blair
and Burdick, followed with a vocal
quartette by Mrs. G. N. Weight, Miss
Mien, Messrs. Short and Chilling-
worth. Mr. short sang two songs,
Miss Villiers played a piano solo, little

'risoners Escape,
But Quickly Caught
Three prisoners escaped from the
Territorial jail in Kula Saturday
night, but were caught twelve hours
ater, Sunday morning, In Paia, by
Sheriff Crowell, Officer Joe Souza and
others. They are now in in the Wailu
ku jail, Sheriff Crowell awaiting in
structions irom High Sheriff Bill Jar-
rett as to just what to do with them.
The men belong to a gang of about
thirty Territorial prisoners quarterea
in Kula and working on the roads.
They explained that they had gotten
ired of the confinement and ran away
o seek a "good time" somewhere.
Jarrett may order the men returned
to the jail in Honolulu, or ne may
send up Oregon boots and have them
kept in Kula. The Oregon boot, it
may be explained, is a heavy Iron
device which fits around the leg above
the ankle and has the effect of caus-
ng a prisoner to lose all interest in
the subject of running away.

Race Meet
Planning For
Thanksgiving Day
Friends of "the; sport of kings" are
making plans for a race meet at the
Kahului track either Thanksgiving
Day, November 2'Jth. or one of the
Sundays on either side of that day
The proposition is to have a small
meet, with few races, but all of those
on the program to be good. It is
planned to make a charge of fifty cents
to get in, with no reservations, in the
expectation of making just enough to
pay expenses and for the purses.
Inasmuch as there has not been any
racing on Maui in several months,
and there are several arguments to
be settled, it is believed that there
will be no difficulty in making every
event a hummer.
The plans are still very incomplete,
but by next Friday may be presented
in more interesting detail.

'olice To Go After
Improper Auto Lights
In a day or two the police of the
island will go after offenders against
the dimming ordinance which went
into effect on December 31, 1916
olice will be stationed every night at
or near important corners, ana wo
will it be to him found with undimmed
headlights or with Insufficient lights
It is not always considered the pro
per tnmg tor a newspaper to "tip
the public off on what the police are
planning to do, but in this case there
s a reason. It is not the wish of the
police, nor of the public, perhaps,
that there be wholesale arrests of
nutoists for what, in a majority of
instances, is mere carelessness, with
out desire or intent to break the law.

Fine Playing In
The Tennis Doubles
The mixed doubles brought forth
some'very good tennis this week, when
the matches between McKenzie-Mei-uicke
and Deinert-Wodehouse and be
tween Baldwin-McAllister and Iliclow
Vetleson were played.
In the first match Deinert-W. ode
house took the first set, while the re
maining two sets went to McKenzie
Meinicke, only after some very hard
fighting. In the second match it
looked at the beginning of the game
as if Hietow-Vetleson were to win,
i hey having their opponents at one
point of the game 4 1, but lost the
next three games, making the score
4 all. Then started the real light for
the next two games which was final
ly taken by Baldwin-McAllister, 11-9.
The next set went to the Baine team,
6-4. This puts this team in the semi
finals to play McKenzie -Meinicke, pro
bably the early part of the coining
week.
Iu the Wailuku mill tournament the
match between Hoogs and Hansen,
which was started last week, was com
pleted, Hoogs taking the third set.
Weight defeated Short two out of
three sets.

The case of Levi K. Kalolo, Ah
Moon Aipa, Henry Kualii and Aukal
Kalepa, accused of fishing with explo
sives off the coast of Molokai, which
was heard by a Jury in the Circuit
Court this week, resulted in a mis
trial. Alter having been out since
11:23 a. m., the jury filed into court
at 1:30 yesterday afternoon and re
ported that they could agree as to
two of the defendants but not as to
the oilier two. Inasmuch as the men
were co-defendants, the court ruled
a mistrial and discharged the Jury
until 10 o'clock this morning.
Originally there was a woman, Mrs.
Levi Kalolo, in this case, but the
charge as to her was dropped a few
da) s ago.
