HOW TO START
ALGRROBA SEED
THEY ARE ENCLOSED IN a TOUGH
PARCHMENT ENVELOPE WHICH
MUST BE BROKEN.

EDITOR STAR: Permit me to partly
contradict, or at least to modify the
following statement in your issue of
21st 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 germinate and
grow. They have to pass through the
intestines of animals before they will
terminate. No doubt an incubating
period of gentle wormth is what is
really required and this is what the
animal medium of distribution fur
nishes."
1t is true that algaroba seeds planted
direct from the pod rarely grow, but 1
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 and which perhaps chokes
the termination of the seed. That en-
velope must be cut before the seed can
grow.
No doubt either the mastication Of
the pods or the action of the digestive
fluids of animals serve to set free the
imprisoned seeds An "incubaating
period of gentle warmth" is not re-
quired, as my own experience has
proved.

SAID IT WAS MURDER.

A coroner's jury met last night to de-
termine the cause of death of Taxa Ia
naka, the woman whose body was
found floating in the water at Governor
Dole's Waikiki residence on September
80 The autopsy disclosed the fact that
death had not been due to drowning
but to hemorrhage of the brain caused
by a blow on the head delivered pre-
sumably before the woman entered the
water. The coroner's jury returned a
verdict of death at the hands of party
unknown to the jury. Nomura, Tana-
ka and Hirora, the Japanese men who
bartered and sold the woman between
them, will be detained pending an in
vestigation into the matter by the
grand jury.

LEFT ALL TO
THE TERRITORY
JUDGE GEAR DECIDES THE CLAIM
THAT CONGRESS REPEALED
LIQUOR LAW.

Judge Gear yesterday gave a de-
cision overruling the claim that Con-
gress repealed all Hawaiian liquor laws
by declaring in the Organic act that
no liquor should be sold n the islands
except as provided by the Territorial
legislature. 1t was claimed that this
declaration disposed of all the old Ii
quor laws, and as none had been pro-
vided at all by the Territorial legisla-
ture, except as to beer licenses, there
We're no laws a all on the subject The
plea was made by C. c. Biting in the
case of NJ. G. Simoes, a motion being
made to quash the indictment of ST.
noes for selling liquor without a IL
cense. In the course of his decision
Judge Gear said:
From a review of the congressional
debates it seems to me that while the
amendment to the Organic Act under
dispute was originally inserted in the
bill for the purpose of prohibiting the
sale of liquor at retail, it is also APP
parent that the amendment finally
adopted was for the purpose of once for
all settling the question as to whether
congress or the local legislature should
have control of the liquor legislation for
this Territory.
"If the contention of defendants
counsel is correct this provision must
be interpreted so as to allow the I'M
licensed and unlimited sale of liquor in
this Territory until the Territorial le-
gislature shall act, thus giving to the
amendment an effect Numerically OPP
V1vh oh Co.
defendant contends was the intent of
Congress and instead of absolute pro-
hibition we will have an unlimited and
absolute unrestricted liquor traffic"
The court quoted several authorities
and continued quoting the United
States Supreme court as follows:
"'It is urged that, as the liquors are
used as a beverage and the injury fol-
lowing them, If taken to excess, is
voluntarily inflicted ana is confined
to the party offending, their sale should
be without restrictions, the contention
being that what a man shall drink,
equally with what he shall eat, is not |
matter for legislation.
" There is in this position an as
of a fact which does not |
exist, that when the liquors are taken |
in excess the injuries are confined to |
the party offending, The injury, it is |
true, first falls upon him in his health, |
which the habit undermines; in his |
which it weakens; and in the |
which it creates. But, |
as 1t leads to neglect of business and |
waste Of property and general de-
it affects those who are |
connected with and de-
penden upon him. BY the gem

eral concurrence of opinion Of every
civilized and Christian community
there are few sources of crime and
misery to society equal to the dram
shop, where intoXicant liquors, in
small quantities, to be drunk at the
time are sold Unfortunately to all
parties applying. The statistics of
every state show a greater amount Of
crime and misery attributable to the
use of these ardent spirits obtained at
these retail liquor saloons than to any
other source. The sale of such Ii
quors, in this way, has therefore been
at all times, by the courts of every
state, considered as the proper subject
of legislative regulation. Not only
may a license be exacted from the
keeper of the saloon before a glass of
his liquors can thus be disposed of,
but restrictions may be imposed as to
the class of persons to whom they may
be sold, and the hours of the day and
the DAYS of the week on which the
saloons may be opened. Their sale in
that form may be absolutely prohibited
1t is a question of public eXpediency
and public morality, and not of federal
law. The police power of the state
is fully competent to regulate the bust
ness-to mitigate its evils, or to sup
press it entirely. There is no inherent
right in a citizen to thus sell intoxicant
liquors by retail; it is not a privilege
of citizen of the state or of citizen
of the United States. At is it a bust
ness attended with danger to he com
munity it may, as already said. be en-
tirely prohibited or be permitted under
such conditions as will limit to the ut
most its evils. The manner and eX-
tent of regulation rest in the discre-
ton of the governing authority
1T is the opinion of the Court that
the statutes of the Republic of Hawaii
relating to the liquor traffic are in full
force and effect excepting as they have
been expressly repealed by the legisla-
ture or the organic act, and that the
section under which this defendant
was indicted is in full force and effect,
and that the defendants motion to
quash should be and it is hereby
denied.
