In response TO a toast, General Young
made an interesting speech concerning
the army in which he said that the re-
cent organization of a staff had done
more to promote the efficiency of the
army than any other act of legislation
which congress had provided
Rear Admiral Sigsbee spoke on ths
necessity for az efficient navy. He said
in part:
"The most difficult problem that the
navy hls to solve at the present time
is in respect to her personnel We find
it we'll nigh impracticable to enlist.
train and keep enough men for the
needs of the service. Time and expert
mept will solve the problem, but it
must be admitted that the solving is
vet hardly in sight. Formerly the
British navy suffered from desertions
,Snd from other troubles that we now
have, but Great Britain overcame the
difficulties. With us at present the shore
career offers the greatest promise.
When we have found ways and means
to reverse these conditions the prob
lem of the enlisted personnel will have
been solved. We are coming to it. al

VAS a fact that the heirs had power to
transfer their holdings and it was this
power that constituted a vested inter-

ALGAROBA FROM
A PARED BEAN

Rev. S. f. Bishop d. D., imparts this
piece of useful information to the Star:
Editor Star: Permit me to partly con-
tradict, or at least to modify the fol-
lowing statement in your issue of the
2lst inst.
Cattle or at least some animal seems
to be a practically necessary medium
for the distribution of the algaroba
tree. The seeds taken from the pod
and planted seldom terminate and
grow. They have to pass through the
intestines of animals before they will
germinate. No doubt an incubating
period of gentle warmth is what is
really required and this what the ami
nal medium of distribution furnishes"
1t is true thG. algaroba seeds planted
direct from the pod rarely grow, but
was taught more than forty years ago
how to make them grow With a
sharp knife pare off the outer edge of
the pod to such a depth as to expose
to view each OF the black seeds en-
closed, and they will grow as readily as
any beans.
This is because each seed is firmly
enclosed in a tough, impervious little
parchment envelope which excludes
moisture, md which perhaps chokes
the termination OF the seed, That en-
velope must be cut before the seed can
grow.
No doubt eithe- the mastication OF
the pods or the action of the digestive
fluids of animals serve to set free the
imprisoned seeds. An "incubating
period of gentle warmth" is not re-
quired, as my own experience has
proved,

ODD CASE
OF SANTOS
Serving Time and Being
Tried for Identical
Offense.

Before the jury in the Santos EN-
bezzlement case were sent gu. dis
agreeing to dinner yesterday evening
Mr.. Kaulukou, attorney for the de-
PENDANT, made a statement which re-
vealed a most peculiar situation. His
Client bai just called ATTENTION t. a
fact which ne had forgotten, whiah
was tia; Santos had already sar,rd 4
month of a three months term for the
very same offense as that for which
lie was row being tried.
Judge Ger. investigated The matter
during recess ard found that Ms late
clerk, Mr.. Loucks, had made the entry
on Sept. 9th that Santos pleaded not
guilty and was fined $780," which was
erroneous on its face. The stenogra-
piers notes, as well as the Advertisers
court report, showed that Santos had
appealed for mitigation of a sentence
for embeZzlement, fining him 800 In
the District Court, and that when Judge
Gear reduced the penalty to $50 and
defendant said he had no money, the
court gave him the alternative sem
tence of 100 days at hard labor.
AS under it's previous ruling, the
court had no jurisdiction when it fixed
the penalty just stated, the case was
not taken out of the hands of the trial
jury.
There is still another Indictment for
hanging over the head
of Santos.
