What is Best for Maui is Best for the News If you wish Prosperity Advertise in the News VOLUME XVIII WAILUKU, MAUI, H. T., SATUJRDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1911 NUMBER 36 4t t IT5' ' -j Honolulu Newsletter Ktihio and His Charges of Frear Caus ing Much Discussion. (By Manuel de Coste.) I think it is mostly the women .who tire of post divorce marriages anil to tho women this brutnl deci sion by tho supreme court will, in some instances, bo received as a re lief from bondage. Of course there are exception? to the rule, and hero and there you- may find a man who will not go to tho expense of another divorco from his already divorced wife. That those who accepted de crees in violation of tho law and have again married are guilty of big- . amy is carried on the back of the decision just handed down. It is in cases whore men or women refuse to apply for a second divorco that I be lieve the law against bigamy will be enforced; incases where tho samo form is gone through with for the sake of righting ' an unintentional wrong, I am .of tho opinion that no jury would convict. But Geo, but it has upset calculations here, this decision of the court. Men who have happily lived with women supposed ly their wives find now that they have been supporting other men's wives. Legitimate children, born to theso people now turn out to be ille- gitimato, and all because judges whom wo believe to bo honest did not see where the legislature erred in amending ono section of a law and overlooking a law and there by invalidating every divorce grant ed. It is probable tho next legisla ture may reenact the law, and in tho meantime those who have married ' and separated on account of the de cision will have to keep their wea- ' ther eyes on Breckons. When I arrived home after the ceremonies relating to tho laying of tho corner stono of the new Library of Hawaii I felt as though I had taken part in a marathon race. I have been up against poorly arrang ed ceremonials, but none of them eveV came up to this, for wo were badly placed with Brother Tucker, in a corner where it was positive torture for him to reply to the re-marks of those who addressad him. We liad to pass through lines of cit izens and other masons in grder to reach a position assigned us on the platform. Then tho weather was bad, not through any fault of the committee, and it increased tho dis- f '.comfort of every oue. The prosy re marks by David Starr Jordan were as dry as tinder in contrast with the rain; and poor Matheson, who had tho address of the day was so far down the lino on the program that ho was talking to tho trees by the time ho finished. The rain almost cleared tho ground of people who were not compelled to stay. Wo who heard all of his remarks wero pleas ed. Tho location of this Carnegie building is disappointing to thoso who have not been taken into the con fidence of tho pcoplo. It will ulti mately face King street, but just now it is snut troin view by a mess of school buildings, and a high board fence. When tho public works department gets time, and has tho . inclination, I believe tho fence and buildings will bo removed, and the spaco from King Btreet to the en tranco of tho library will bo parked as an item in tho civic center. It looks as though Kalanianaole is to have financial backing sufficient to press his charges before tho House and possibly tho Senate It is said ' that Mr. Kinney will furnish tho (Continued on Fage 6) The Latest InSports What the Wrestlers. Boxers and Base Ball Artists Are Doing. In full view of several thousand horrified Giant rooters, J. Franklin Baker, an industrious young ath lete, who does odd jobs about third base for the Athletics, walked to tho plato in Shibo Park, learned against..ono of ' Rube' Marquard's masterpieces and deposited it on tho wrong side of tho fence, after which ho strolled leisurely around tho diamond and anchored at tho run terminal, a. few laps behind Edward Collins, who happened to be visiting at second base when the collision,occurred. Baker's uncall ed for brutality put the American League on tho baseball map agaiti, lor it enabled tho Athletics to win the second'game of tho world's scries by a score of 3 to 1 . Thirty thousand Philadelphia pa triots stayed up until nearly 4 o'clock to see their pets win, it taking Connie Mack's aggregation of ball players just ono hour and fifty-two minutes o send the Giants and their admirers back home, looking as cheerful as tho second plume on a hearse. It was some time beforctho Giant, regained consciousness, but just to show that ono little defeat doesn't make any difference, they gave a rousing cheer as the McGraw men left the battlefield, and served no tice on tho jubilant Mack admirers that they need expect no mercy from the mighty Mathewson when hostilities are resumed at the polo grounds tomorrow afternoon. The second session of the most important series of baseball game ever played in this country was one of the prettiest' contests ever staged, abounding in good pitching, clever fielding, a fair amount of batting, and enough errors to make the spectators .-appreciate the beautiful uncertainties of tho popular sport. Up to the time that Baker booted his passage through without any stops, It was a battle of brawn and brains between Marquard and Plank, two of the greatest left-hand twirlers the game has produced. Plank pitched a splendid article of ball and was given brilliant sup port in the field. While tho Ath letics got but four safe Bwats off Marquard's delivery, an investiga tion of tho work done by tho Giant fielders will show that tho Mack warriors had little difficulty in mak ing Rube's acquaintance. They, hit Marquard in nearly every inning, and only tho agility of tho men be hind him kept down the list of casualties. Devoro had six chances in left field, dropping ono of them, and with the finish of the gamo ho was wearing his tongue on his chest. Marquard was partly responsible for tho first run and wholly respon sible for the last two, and thero was little surprise when Manager Mo Graw gave him the signal to go to tho barn at tho end of tho soventh inning. Old Dr. Crandall was called in to rcsuscitato tho gamo in tho eighth, but life was extinct so far as tho Giants wero concerned. Tho big hit came in tho sixth inning, with two out, and when the fighting Athletics had touched up Pitcher Marquard, of the National League champions for only three hits. Baker's smash was tho last in tho gamo for tho American Leaguers, but it was enough. And just as important as Baker'was on (Ooutinued on Page 5.)

Perpetual Prosperity This Gigantic Scheme Is Too Big For Our Brains Tho following was received by a P.iia investor, and his reply is ap pended : San Francisco, CaL.'Sopt. 26, 1911. Dear Friend : Thinking that you might perhaps bo interested in tho fur business, I take tho liberty of presenting you with what seems to mo a most won derful business proposition, and in which, no doubt, you will take a lively interest, and wiro me tho amount of stock that you wish to subscribe towards tho formation of this Company. Tho object of this Company is to operate a largo Cat Ranch-in or near Oakland, where land can bo pur chased cheap for this purpose. To start in with, we will collect about, say, one hundred thousand cats. Each cat will average twelve kittens a year. The skins run from Ten Cents (10c.) each for tho white ones, to Seventy-five Cents (75c.) each for tho pure black. This will give us twelvo million, skins a year to sell at an average of Thirty Cents (80c.) apiece, making our revenue about Ten Thousand Dol lars (810,000.00) a day gross. A man can skin fifty cats per day for Two Dollars (2.00.) It will take one hundred men to operate tho Ranch, and, therefore, the net pro fit will thus be about Nino Thou sand Eight Hundred Dollars (9,800..- 00) a day. Wo will feed the cats on rats, and will start a Rat Ranch next door. Now rats multiply four times as fast as cats. If wo start with ono mil lion rats, wo will have, therefore, four rats per day for each cat. Now, then wo will feed tho rats on tho carcasses of tho cats, from which tho skins havo been taken, giving each rat a fourth of a cat. It will thus bo seen that tho bus iness bo self-acting and automatic all tho way through. The cat3 will (Continued on Page 6) Portuguese Team on Maui. John Medeiros of Paia has com pleted nrrangeraents with tho Port uguese team of tho Oahu league, to como'over hero and' play a couplo of games against a picked nine. Tho Portuguese team havo won tho re cent scries in the Oahu league and aro considered tho champions of that league, and so aro now playing tho best gamo of any team which could possibly bo brought hero. Tho team that is to oppose them should bo tho strongest possible ag: grcgation that could possibly be chosen as thoy aro to uphold tho prestigo of Maui on tho ball field. We understand the picking of a team is to be left to tho captains of tho different clubs in tho leaguo, and this is a wise mDve, and we will get a strong team. " Tho Portuguese team will arrive hero on Saturday, November 4, and will play-threo games, ono on tho 4th, 5th and 6th. Just as an experiment wo will pick an all Maui team and sco how near our choico coincides with tho choice of tho captains: Catchers, Joo Clement and Geo. II. Cummings; pitchers, Henry Syl va and Ed Lindsay ; first base, W. Bal; second base, J. Garcia; third baso and captain, C. E. Meyers; shortstop, Harry Moto; left field, II. Meyer; center field, K. Smytho; right field, A. Robinson; substl tutes, A, Jackson and M. Tanako. Baseball Popular The Attendance Last Sunday Was the Largest Ever at Local Game. That basebull is becoming moro popular was shown last Sunday at tho double header in Wailuku, where was tho largest crowd that has gathered in years; (when only local talent was playing.) Everybody was amply rewarded for spending their two bits, as they saw some good ball, and judging by tho rooting, new fans were enrolled last Sunday, who will be regular attendants here after. The first game of tho day was be tween the Paias and Wailukus, and the Paias won by a score of 8 to 5. The Wailuku team was all shot to pieces before the game started, as' several of their players were absent. In tho very first inning Masaich'i, tho third baseman was quite serious ly injured, by being run into by a Paia player in sliding. Later Kaleo was injured, and tho doctors wero kept busy for a whilo giving first aid to tho injured. Paia won on their merits, however, though tho umpiring was a bit off. The second gamo was the real thing. It was a slugfest and tho outfielders of both teams wero kept busy. Tho Stars got a lead early in tho gamo, and it was a stern chaso all tho way for Kahului. Tho boys from tho breakwater under tho able leadership of tho redoubtable Jock McGuire put up a noblo fight, and pulled even in the eighth in ning. When tho Stars camo up for the ninth, Garcia was tho first at bat, and right hero the Kahului pitcher lost tho gamo. With Garcia hitting the ball hard, tho Kahu lui pitcher should havo walked him, and let Clement catch him going to second, as Joo was throwing like if, rifle bullet. As it was Garcia hit, and was sacrificed to second by Bal, Cummings camo up and sent a liner so close to tho foul line that tho majority thought it was foul, but the umpire thought otherwise, and Garcia scored. In the Kahului half thoy made a gallant effort but a close decision of tho umpire again went against them and thoy lost. It was suro a day of close decisions, and the umpire got his from tho crowd. This should not be, as a good umpire is hard to find in any town, and they arc scarcer than hens teeth in this burg. Tho games tomorrow will bo be tween tho Stars and Paias, and tho Kahuluis and Wailukus, both games at Kahului. Tho first gamo will be gin at 1:30. Negro Found Dead. The negro watchman at Kihei was found dead in his house last Monday morning. Tho police wero at onco notified, and Sheriff Crowell, together with Dr. Sawyer at onco went to view the body.
