Maui Boys Officers
"OthcrsIlavcChance
Three Get Commissions This Week
Seven To Leave Soon For Main
land Training Camps Arc Now
In Guard Regimtnts On Oahu
Three Maui boys, who have been
students in the 4th reserve officers'
during the past, three months were
training camp at Schofield llarracks
graduated on Monday and commis
sioned as 2nd lieutenants. They arc
Ilobt. von Tcmppky, private, 2nd In
lantry; J. G. Zabriskie, private, 32nd
Infantry; and David W. Townsend,
private 1st class, 3rd Engineers.
Zabriskie and von Tompsky enlist
ed in the regular army as privates in
order to gel a chance for the train
ing eamp, as this vras one of the con
ditions at that time. Had they failed,
they would have continued till the
end of the war as enlisted men.
Townsend, formerly civil engineer
of the Wailuku Sugar Co., was one of
the sudent candidates of the 1st re
serve officers-' training camp held a
year ago, but he failed at that time
:i '! lalil'y, and immediately joined an
engineer regiment as a priv?.fe, and
!::ter when opportunity offered enter
al the training camp for a second
lime.
The graduates hav been assigned
to the 25th Infantry for the rresent
and are certain to he sent to the
coast and probably to Franco very

Used Trunk As Bank
Robbers Steal $320
Filipinos Watched Till They Found
Where Cash Was Hidden, Then
Tapped The Sack When Owners
Were At Movie Show
Because they I bought their money
was safer in their own hands than tti
a bank, a Filipino named Agaton and
his wife are now out just ?32rt. Three
other Filipinos are in the county jail
and have confessed to the robbery,
but they blew in the cash in a few
days of riotous living in Honolulu, so
Agaton and his wife are poorer In
pocket if richer in experience.
Peter de la Cruz, an ex-convict,
Faust ino Cabuhat, and Estanislao
Pangelinen, after several weeks of re
connoitering, discovered that Agaton,
a hard-working young machinist, was
keeping his savings in a trunk at his
home on Market street. On the night
of August 10, when they knew that
Agaton and his vile were at t?i
theater, they entered the house, an'?
'liiickly made way witli the money, do
ing it so skillfully that its loss was
not discovered for a week when an ad
dition was to be made to the little
pile.
In the meantime the trio had gone
to Honolulu, but suspicion had fas
tened on them, and Sheriff Crowell
sent Officer Pedro Batista to the city
vh"re they were located and brought
biwit. They will be tried at the com
ing term of circuit court in October.
New Garage Company
Making Improvements
The recently organized Maui Gar
age & Transportation Co., Ltd., a
combination of a number of Wailuku
businesses, has begun work on the
reconstruction of a portion of the
main building, formerly occupied by
the Iao Stables Co.
Provision is to be made for adequ
ate oftiees on the makai side of the
property, as well as for a display
room where a line of automobile ac
cessories will be carrier". The com
pany is also considering taking the
Maui agency for certain automobiles,
in whic h event it will !so have space
for suitably showing new cars to best
advantage.
The alterations will probably re
quire several weeks, but the company
will then have perhaps the most at
tractive place of the kind on Maui.
A Repeat Order: Out of the last
harvest the American people by
abstinence, saved 140,000,000 bushels
of wheat to feed the hungry Allied
nations and these same people are
going to stay right on the sugar job
and see it through.
"Right and liberty have obliterat
ed space and the ocean to bring
France and America together."
President Poincare.
Sheriff Crowell Is
Now Booze Inspector
Draws Nominal Pay No Licenses Yet
Applied Fur On Maui - May Send
All Orders To Honolulu Inspector
Will Keep Check On Doctors
Whether or not there will be any
liquor licenses at all granted by the
Maui license board, has not yet been
determined. I'p to the present there
have been no application filed for the
privilege of handling such liquors as
the new prohibition law permits being
u:ed for medical, scientific and church
purposes, and because the total vol
ume of such sales on Maui ptoniise
to be small it is not probable that any
merchant wants it very badly. The
cost of license if a year for Wai
luku district, and $2o for other places
in the county.
The license board, at a meeting held
a few days ago, appointed Sheriff
Clem Croweli as inspector for the
board at a- salary of $10 per month.
The chief duty of the inspector is to
sign permit a for the purchase of liq
uor for any purpose, or for its im
portation. All physician's prescrip
tions for liquor in Wailuku district
must also be countersigned by him.
In the other districts the government
physicians are to be deputy inspect
ors with authority to o.k. prescrip
tions, except of their own writing.
Tlie liquor board will probably can
vass the physicians of Maui on the
advisability of having a licensed deal
er or dealers on Maui, and if it. is
thought best to have such, will then
act accordingly.
In the meantime orders for liquor
for any purpose, properly vised, must
tie sent to Honolulu to be fi'ld. The
inspector, in these cases must furnish
also a transportation order to com
mon carriers before the latter may
legally handle th shipment.
Rijce Out For Senate
Robinson Not To Run
Democratic Slate Still Kept Secret
Republican House Aspirants All
Old Names Little Interest In
Campaign This Year
The Maui democrats have still not
made public their slate, which is said
to be virtually completed, but the no
mination papers will probably be fil
ed in a day or two. The last day for
doing this is next Thursday.

republican aspirants :o legis
honors now number 7 for the
and one for the senate. For
the place to be filled in the upper
house from Maui, Harold W. liice has
finally offered to immolate himst If on
the party alter for the good of the
territory. So far as is known at pre
sent he will have a clear field in the
primaries for W. T. Robinson has
declined to run for re-election en ac
count of poor health, while Ed. Wai
aholo, who was i;lso considering the
place, is also sick in Honolulu. J. W.
Kaltta, who had had the matter in
mind, has apparently decided not to
run.
on the list for the lower house
there are now seven candidates for
the six places to be filled: A. F. Tav
eres, M. G. Paschoal, John Brown, Jr.,
and Levi Joseph are out for re-election,
while L. It. Kaumeheiwa, Uobt.
Nawahine and Jack Kanohi are will
ing to try for the nomination even
though they have been unsuccessful
in past efforts.
Outside of the several candidates
there is almost absolutely no interest
being shown in tiie coming campaign.
