KAUAI S
SCHOOL MEET
I n persuance t o invitations
issued by Supervisor H. H. Brodie,
a body of representatives of our
scbool system met, at tbe foreign
church last Friday evening the
object of the meeting being to find
how much desire existed for a high
school on Kauai. Mr. Brandt, our
newly .appointed commissioner of
education, was elected chairman of
the meeting and E. B. Bridge
water, secretary. The meeting
was called to order , and M r .
Brodie stated the object, of his in
vitations, following with a brief
outline of what had already been
accomplished toward securing the
high school. The Commissioner
expressed himself as opposed to
the establishment of such a school,
giving as his reasons that Kauai is
riot yet ready for it, there being
an insufficient number of students
at present to justify the expendi
tures necessary for the school. His
opinion was also shared in b y
Judge Hofgaard and Mr. Brown of
the VVaimea school. . It seems that
the sum of three thousand dollars
has been appropriated as an aid to
the immediate commencement of
the high school? and it was to take
definite steps to get properly start
ed that the meeting was called. A
law was enacted by1 the last legis
lature, which stated among other
things, that "a high school shall
be staited in Lihue, Kauai, within
eighteen months from the passage
of this bill, and that the sum of
three thousand dollars, is appro
priated for the purpose of e s
tablishiug said school at once in
connection with the Lihue school."
Senator Rice came in during the
discussion and on being observed
by the chairman, was asked to ex
press his views on the subject.
This he did and furthermore pro
duced a copy of the law bearing on
the case, a document which had
been very much;sought up to the
time of Senator Rice's appearance.
The secretafy was instructed" to
read the paragraph, after which,
it appeared there was nothing left
to do but to "git that school."
Miss Mnmford, principal of the
Lihue school, opposed all notions
of adding to her troubles by put
ling the high school within her
territory, and in her contention
had the majority of those present
with her. A- suggestion by Mr.
Maser, to the effect that the old
court house might be used as a
high school building temporarily,
met with high favor, and it was
thought by the members of the
meeting to be little short of won
derful that such an arrangement
hail not been thought of before. In
as much as there will be no definite
action necessary untiljanuaryl914,
by which time the new county
court house will have been com
pleted, the chairman was authoriz
ed to take the matter up with the
members of the board of supervi
sors and to see what could be done
in regard to securing the old court
house site. It is thought that the
present building, with very few
changes, would very conveniently
meet all requirements of a high
school for several years to come.
Having thus far settled the ques
tion of Lihue's high school, the
chairman adjourned the meeting,
subject to the call of the chair.

After about six weeks of freedom
from the Lihue Jail, the notorious
jailbird Antone Lopez, Porto
Ricau, whose propensity for jail
breaking is known from Hilo to
Lihue, together with a companion
of his own kind, were captured
last Tuesday night b y Deputy
Sheriff Crowell. For some time
their wherebouts had been known
to the police department but it was
decided best to let them remain in
the mountains unt:l" their fear of
apprehension had subsided. Aside
from keeping a close watch on all
outgoing steamers, n o attention
was paid to the fugetives, until it
became known that they had
ventured from their hiding and
were at the McBryde Plantation.
Sheriff Crowell lost no time i n
getting a line on them and made
short work of their capture. They
were brought back to Lihue where
they will remain ponding a grand
jury investigation which may re
sult in a steady job for the t-o o f
them.
They made their escape from the
local jail b y climbing over the
fence, once boosting the other to
the top, where he in turnt hauled
his friend up, when it became but a
matter of moments when they
dropped to the outside and were
gone. From reports of residents
in the vicinity of McBryde mauka,
the gentry have been livingTin the
mountains back of the plantation,
replenishing their larder from the
neighbors' chicken roosts, and pig
pens. This charge is substantiated
by the physical appearance of the
captured, con victs.
Koloa Has Exciting Baseball
Word has reached this office of
one of the most interesting ball
games that has ever' been pulled
off between school teams. was
that which took place on the Koloa
grounds on Kamehameha day,
when the Eleele school boys were
put to route by the home team un
der the guidance of Captain John
Bush, the veteran school teaclier.
"We beat them," said Ihe
doughty captain in referring to
the game, "but they wer ecrack-a-jack
players just the same, as is
indicated by the score being 10 to
8. No, I did not get up at one
o'clock in the morning, and prac
tice any special curve throwing.
Nor were my bats kahunad. Our
boys simply played ball the kind
you don't meet up with everyday
hence the victory. We challenge
any school team that thinks it can
play the game. Be it remembered
that this game was the result of a
challenge from the principal of the
Hanapepe school in behalf of his
tea'in, and the defeat of the visi
tors therefore adds to the satis
faction it gave our team in wallop
ing them."
Koloa's battery consisted of Loui
Maderips, in the box; ,N. Chong,
behind the bat, while Tai Hi filled
the box for the visitors and Shigi
caught. The Koloa team got the
visitors rattled right off the reel
when in the first inning, five runs
were tallied. Great enthusiasm was
manifested throughout the game.
Manager Donald of the Koloa
Trading Co., contributed consider
ably to the success of the home
team in so much as he presented
the boys with bats and other
material for the occassion.

A New Hanapepe Postmaster
Joe Gomes, the popular Hana
pepe merchant has been appointed
postmaster of Hanapepe, taking
possession last Friday. Although
it was on Friday, and the 13th.,
Joe says he is not at all supersti
tious and (hat he is pleased to un
dertake the job. The community
is pleased to have Joe assume
charge since the former postmaster
could no longer retain it owing to
the extra work it entailed, and
Uncle Sam need not entertain the
least fear but that his affairs will
be carefully attended to. To the
new postmaster, this paper extends
jts heartiest aloha. To the rptir
ing postmaster', 'goes the same sen

well rendered and enjoyed, but a
few of the most popular were
"The Sun Bonnet Babies" and
"Overall Bovs," the "Rainbow
Drill," "Folk Dance," ''The
Rainy Dav Drill," "May Pole
Dance," and "Minuet." A com
plimentary word also, should be
said for the musical part of the
program winch was very pleasing.
The total receipts for the two
entertainments, amounted to two
hundred and sixtv dollars.
($260.00.) The expenses amount
ed to nearly sixty dollars, thus
giving tbe school approximately
a clean two hundred dollars to in
vest in sewing machines.
It is to be hoped that the object
of the entertainment which was
to raise money enough to furnish
the Lihue School with sufficient
sewing machines, has been success
fully attained. The teaching staff

warmly commended and congratu
lated upon their success. The

FROM
PRISON GANG
One of the coolest attempts to
break jail that was ever tried on
our local police, was that which
occurred last Monday afternoon,
when a gang of Filipinos who
were working in the prison gang
on the Hulaia grade deliberately
and in plain view ot the guard,
walked off the job. The officer
gave persuit but on being told by
another prisoner that a friend had
placed a gun at a convenient place,
and that the escaping prisoners
had headed for this, he gave up
the chase single handed and turn
ed in the alarm. Peter Malina
happened to be at the Ahana
place, and equipping himself with
a revolver furnished by Ahana, he
struck their trail. Finding that
they had taken up the mountain
trail, he notified the department
that a squad should be sent up tho
public road to head them off as
they would probably head for Ko
loa. Posses were sent out and on
reaching the spot designated by
Malina, two of the fugitives were
apprehended and taken, one o f
whom was the man with the gun.
An old Hawaiian and his dogs did
valuable service in running them
to earth, though before the capture
when the old fellow got into pretty
close touch with the "man with a
gun, and the Filipino pointed at
him, he fell among the cane with
a suddeness that indicated a won
derful presence of mind and a full
realization of the danger of bullets
The attention he was directing to
the old Hawaiian, however, proved
the undoing of the convict, .for
Peter Malina appeared on tli e
scene during the little gun play,
and before the Filipino had time
to turn, was on to him, disarming
him in an instant. Two of them
were rounded up on the spot, and
it is understood that the rest have
given themselves up. On a day
or two afterward, Sheriff Rice had
an early morning caller, and, on
answering the bell, was met by
one of the escapes, who told him
without ceremony that he had
come to give himself up to the
police. According to his story to
the sheriff, he was in hiding near
the Koloa road when his com
panions were retaken, and at one
time .the officers were within ten
feet of his hiding place, which was
a large tuft of wild grass. They
are all back o n the job again,
which as a result, has been ex
tended somewhat.
An Enjoyable Social Event
The O U. club gave its first
outing a week last Sunday, this
affair being in the nature of a pic
nic in the Wailua valley. The
party met at Wailua bridge in the
afternoon where a spacious boat
was in waiting to take the merry
crowd up the river. Sail was
hoisted as soon as all were aboard,
and shortly; the entire party was
scudding at a clipping rate before
a stiff breeze which soon brought
them to the pastoral banquet table
which had been arranged under
the shaded clearing just beyond
the island. ,
After a very interesting visit to
the rice mill and ppi factory, a de
licious repast was enjoyed by all
much credit being due the refresh
ment committee for ithe splendid
menu provided.
The return trip was made by
radiant moonlight ukulele and song
adding to the natural beauty and
enjoyment of the delightfull sail.
This affair proved such an all
round success that another is being
planned in the near feature,
though this one will not be in con
nection with the club.
