ACTS Of CLEMENCY
BY GOVERNOR FREAR

Governor Frear yesterday granted a
parole to Akea, who has a little over
three months of an eighteen months
term to serve for crime against pub
lic> morality. Akea has been a we'll
behaved prisoner.
Kahalekula, a Hawaiian aged eigh-
ty-six years, living in Manoa valley,
was yesterday restored to his civil
rights by Governor Frear. In 1878 this
man was convicted of feloniously
branding COW, although the Governor
says it is doubted now that the COW
was not his own. Then in 1884 he was
convicted of distilling liquor, which
was then absolutely prohibited. His
restoration will enable him to vote at
next election.

SEA WALL To BE
OF TEN-TON ROCKS

A half mile of sea wall faced with
rocks weighing ten tons each Is to be
built in Honolulu harbor.
Part of this wall is to run parallel
with the Eva side of the channel lead
ing from the sea to the harbor. An
other part is to be on the seaward side
If tie island that is being built up
out of the dredged material now be-
ing taken out. Another part will be
on the land side of this island.
The ten-ton rocks will be brought in
on the railroad from near Waianae.
There is a place there where heavy
rCck roll down the mountain, and it is
there that the heavy rock called for by
the specification will he secured.
An immense amount of smaller rock
will be secured in Kaimuki, and haul
ed in from there.
Scows are now being put in shape

will be brought in on the Oahu Rail
way from Waianae, the cars being
switched to the extreme end of Rail
read wharf No. 2. There they will be
lifted off the ears on to a scow by
means of derrick. The scow will then
be towed to where the rock is to be
pug in place, and lifted from them into
place in the seawan by derrick which
will he rigged on another seow.
These heavy rock will form the facing
of the sea wall against which the seas
will break. They will be filed in and

ine piece of steel forging which could
not be forged here. The Honolulu Iron
Works, even, have not the facilities
FOR forging it. When the one on the I
Reclamation broke, delay of two /
months would have occurred, if the |
rank shaft on the other suction dred-

RUMOR OF NEW INDUSTRY

Bessemer, June 26.-(Special)-The Young Peoples union of the First Bap- tst church has devised a very novel plan by which to increase the membership of the union which is meeting with great success.
 About two weeks ago they met and d. yided the class into two factions, the Reds and the Blues, each side starting with 22 members. A contest is now on between them to see which side can en- roll the greatest number of active mem- bers by August 1, on which date the con- test will be closed, and the losing side will have to bear the expense of an out ing banquet or some other form of en- tertainment that might be selected by a committee.
 At their regular weekly meeting last Monday night a comparison of the two rolls showed that the Reds had increased their number to 50 and the Blues to g members. Both sides have been doing good work this week, and they feel sure that the attendance on next Monday night will reach 15O as the Blues say they will have their 75 while the Reds state they will not be behind that in number. N. B. Parker is captain of the Reds and H. D. Cockrel captain of the Blues.

LINCOLN STEPHENS SAYS
Newspapers Are More Useful Than
 Police In Detecting Crimes.

In the July American Magazine Lincoln Steffens says that the first thing the vic tim of a robbery should do is to telephone to the newspapers, rather than to the police.
 Following is his advice, given in a story called Mickey Sweeney, Detective of De- tectives.''
 .'The police everywhere warn citizens not to let anybody but the police know of such troubles. They say that if the newspapers get hold of the news they will publish it; this will frighten away the thieves and prevent the police from recovering the stolen property. This is only a police trick to avoid criticism. They give to the press all their sue cesses they suppress their failures, and thus keep up the appearance of efficient service As matter of fact, the first thing that the victim of robbery should do is to telephone to the newspapers-all of them That would soon show what a small proportion of the reported cases a detective bureau like that of New York detects and--it will make the police work on your case"

Rumor of New Industry.

It was heard today that certain persons are in the district for the purpose of To- eating a site for a large furniture lac tory. What gives zest to the rumor IS the fact that these men are said to be well posted regarding the quantity of tim- Der obtainable, and are especially inter- ested in the beach wood which is so plen- tifuI in Tuscaloosa county. In discussing the matter today, one of them stated that it was the intention of the parties inter ested to make a speciality of school desks, church furniture, etc., and that the com- pany would make their own castings and other iron parts that are necessary in the manufacture of this class of furniture.
 The gentlemen spoke very favorably or Bessemer and her facilities for such an industry, and in the data that he had gotten up to include in his report he showed freight rates from various points en lumber and other commodities to and from the Birmingham group. While he is not confinng his attention to Bessemer, 1t is known that most of the timber lands he has investigated are located on the Alabama Great Southern railroad and that Bessemer is the first point reached of any of the places favorable to such q project in the Birmingham group.
