POLICE CHASE
MASKED
BANDITS
Masked bandits, a hold up at the
point of a revolver, an automobile
chase, pollco with shot guns and
the final capture of the bandits,. It
sounds like a mall robbery In New
York City or else a movie scenario
but It Is neither It Is an actual oc
curanco on Kauai.
Tuesday evening, tho two masked
bandits held up the paying
off of a tannemushl In Hanalei
about 10 o'clock. Thoy lined up the
Japaneso who wero taking part and
took tho proceeds. After telling the
Japanese to remain quiet, they dash
ed for an auto that was waiting
outside tho house. The machine
started toward Kapaa and tho Jap
anese hurried and Informed Deputy
Sheriff Werner of the hold-up. The
lights of tho car could be seen on
tho hill climbing out of tho valley.
Sheriff Werner telephoned Deputy
Sheriff Hano at Kapaa and ho Im
mediately called his men and started
to meet tho-car. The first two men
had Just got as far as the old chim
ney on the Kapaa flat when they
saw a car coming toward them at a
rapid rate of speed. They ordered it
to halt, but It dashed right by them
without slacking up. Officers Kaiu
and Lono were about a quarter of
a mile behind the first two officers.
Thoy also ordered the car to stop
and when It showed no signs of doing
so opened fire upon it. Lono had
a shot-gun and Kalu a revolver.
They chased the car and In going
through Kapaa mistook the car of
Lester Alexander for the bandits.
Thoy overtook Alexander and he
told them that the car had turned
mauka at the Kapaa post office. The
pollco then started mauka and met
a car of the same make that was
used by the bandits and asked the
driver it he had passed a car. He
said that he had passed a car with
out any lights going mauka at a very
fast rate. The police commandered
his car and scoured all over Kapaa
homesteads but could not find a trace
of the bandits or their car.
Finally near daybreak tho police
returned to Kapaa and Sheriff Hano
had become suspicious of the actions
of the driver of the commandeered
car and decided to investigate. He
found one side of the car riddled
with shot from Lono's gun. He placed
tho driver under arrest and the boy
broke down and confessed, Implicat
ing a number of Filipinos.
The police got busy and before
long had rounded up the whole gang
William Opto was tho driver of the
car and he will bo tho principal wit
ness for tho prosecution at tho trial.
The Filipinos arrested and com
mitted to the circuit court for trial
are Mariano Milan, Rofino Maxim,
Casamlro Aragono, Francisco Filipe.

Miss Leveridgo and, Miss Kelly, also

being driven by Mrs. Watase. The
road was very slippery, duo to a
rain that was falling at tho time. As
tho car noared tho turn at tho foot
of the hill it started to skid and
got out of control. It finally slid off
tho road and turned over, landing
in tho bottom of the gulch. All the
other passengors wore thrown clear
except Miss Sandusky who was pin
ned under the car. She was remov
ed from her precarious position and
taken to her homo, whore It was
found that she was suffering from
very painful bruises, but no bones
wero broken.
That tho accident did not result
more seriously is only a miracle, as
tho car fell considerable distance to
tho stony bottom of tho gulch.

KAUA
CHAMBER
HOLDS BANQUET
"For 'tis always fair weather
When good fellows get together "
In spite of a hard, driving but much
needed rain, tho annual banquet ses
sion of the Kauai Chamber of Com
merce was hold at tho Walmea Hotel
last Thursday night and was well at'
tended. Tho rain dldn'tA dampen tho
spirits of tho dinars in the least, al
though some of thorn camo from
Hanalei, a good fifty-mile drive.
Promptly at 7 o'clock, President
Wlshard ordered tho dining room
doors opened to tho members. Two
long tables wero filled. Every plate
was taken; every seat was filled;
and there was no-one without a seat.
Every man who said that ho would
bo present was there.
New Members
In the business session that fol
lowed tho banquet the following now
members were elected: A. Brauo,
Frank Burns.i R. H. Hagood, K. M.
Ahana, Louis Souza, C. K. Tern,
Charles Christian, H. S. Sheldon and
H. Alexander.
After these members had beon duly
elected, T. Brandt of Walmea wel
comed the chamber members from all
over the island who had braved the
storms to attend. "Tho Kauai Cham
ber of Commerce," ho said, "stands
for all Kauai. Boost the Chamber
of Commerce and you boost Kauai."
Some discussion arose about the
election of new members. In tho past
new-comers to the community, who
It was thought would make good
members of the chamber, have, at
times, been proposed and elected
without previously consulting them.
Onco or twice tho men have stated
that they would have preferred to
have beon consulted first, although
In a large majority of such cases
they gladly accepted membership and
duties of tho chamber. But It was
unanimously decided that In tho fu
ture no name would be proposed un
less the man had previously been
interviewed.
Night Meetings
J. I. Silva, for many years tho trea
surer of the Chamber of Commerce,
suggested that in tho future all
meetings bo held on moonlight even
ings and that ono meeting each year
be held In Walmea, one at Eleele,
one at Koloa and one at Kapaa, all
other meetings to bo held at Llhue.
This, ho said, would permit many
people who are unable to attend in
tho afternoons to be present and
would more evenly equalize tho dis
tance traveled by tho various mem
bers. Mr. Sllva's suggestion .as to the
places for meetings was not well
taken, although tho evening sugges
tion seemed good. F. S. Pugh of Ele
elo made a motion that in tho future
all meetings bo held at night. Mr.
Silva seconded this motion. H. D.
Sloggett of Grove Farm amended tho
motion so that tho president could
call spocial meetings at any timo and
place he saw fit. Both tho amend
ment and tho motion passed unani
mously.
Frank Crawford of Lihuo made' a
motion that the next meeting be hold
Thursday night, February 23rd at tho
Lihuo high school, accepting an li
.vltatlon formerly made by that In
stitution. C. B. Hofgaard seconded
tho motion and It was passed.
Automobile Club
At this tlmo, T. Brandt of Walmea
stated that tho prosldent, H. D.
Sloggett ,of tho Kauai Automobile
Club was present and that ho would
like to hear what tho club was do
ing. Mr. Sloggett said that tho club
has been quietly working for sever
al months to help make reckless driv
ers on tho Island bo moro careful.
Many such drivers have beon report
ed to tho proper authorities who have
promptly taken tho necessary action
to stop tho carelessness.
Vocational Training
E. H. W. Broadbont stated that
ho had several conversations with
members of tho American Legion a
bout the now vocational training
system that they were advocating
for tho public schools. Ho stated,
while ho thinks vocational training
is tho proper thing for Hawaii, ho
Is not sure that placing it," as ad
vocated, in all the public schools is
ndvisahlo or not. Combining tho or
dinary school course with tho vari
ous lines of practical training is
