nce,-Named by troops here, where
they first received word of the Declara-

SISAL MAY mean
Mine OF WEALTH
Great Possibilities In
Fiber Productions
In Hawaii

William Weinrich. at the tariff
meeting, stated last night: I'm few
months we will know whether we can
grow Manila hemp here with strong
fiber, and | believe we can"
This was his view of one of the
most interesting topics which came
up through the whole evening. Ha-
wall, producing the best sisal in the
world and with possibilities of sup.
plying the whole market of the Unit.
ed States with an amount which will
mean millions. may also become a
producer of Manila hemp, the finest
known.
After It had been pointed out that
there are thousands of acres through
windward Hawaii and in the north of
Maui which may yet be devoted to
this Manila hemp, something of a
damper was put on the idea by one
speaker, who mentioned that the
raising of Manila hemp has been
tried in the East Indies without sue
cess. as It is found that the peculiar
soil conditions of the Philippines are
necessary for the development of the
strong fiber.
But w. G.. Weldon. in q speech
supplementing the statement of MIR.
Weinrich, went on to show the pos
sibilitics of fibcr-producing in Ha-
wall.
! THE imports of fiber into the
United States within 10 months
amounts to $4,000. 900" he said,
of which approximately 40 per cent.
is sisal. This would make the value
of sisal imported $4,000 900 for the
year. counting $35,0O0,0OO as the
value of fiber imports for year.
AT the lowest rate which has been
paid here, 6 cents per pound, Hawaii
could supply in time the full demand
of the United States for this product
There are 100000 acres of land in
the Territory on which 1t could be
raised. And this would produce the
requisite amount. With prices at
the average. the income from the
sisal which might be disposed of In
the markets of the United States in a
year would probably be $4,000, 900.
'Sisal can be raised in almost any
soil here where there is not too much
precipitation. 1t can be raised where
other products will grow, and. what
is more. 1t can be produced in soil
where no other product will grow. On
these coral reefs. where there is not

Guild MARRY GIRL.
AT POINT OF GUN
Alleged Passion Causes
Arrest Of Lawyer
StrauS

Attorney Leon Strauss, who recent
ly returned from a trip to the Orient,
is at present languishing in Il cell in
the police station with charge of
investigation against him. Too ard
ent wooing of a young part-llawaiian
lady appears to have been the cause
of his trouble.
The police authorities state that
the young lady complained to them
that Strauss had last night tried to
compel her to marry him at the point
Of gun. According to the story
which she told them, Strauss had first
met her through the fact that she
was one of the witnesses in the Wat
son divorce case, which is now pend
ing, and in which Strauss represents
one of the principals. She stated
that Strauss had told her TO meet him
last evening In order that he might
have subpoena served on her. Ac-
cording to these arrangements. the
girl met Strauss outside the
~. NJ. G. A. building. After
talking over the case Strauss invited
her to have a car-ride, which invita-
ton she accepted. During the excur-
sion. SO the young lady says, Strauss
produced a revolver and told her that
he had three shots which he would
employ unless she consented to marry
him. She tempOrized with the ard
ent wooer, and the pair finally wound
up at the residence Of the young lady
at Kalihi.
Here Strauss Is alleged to have
told the girl that unless she told her
| family that she had married him he
would use the gun. She declined to
do so, and In the meantime an OIL
Ger, Akoki, who is employed on the
detective force. and who lives in the
neighborhood, had been sent for.
The officer soon arrived on the
scene. He ordered the lawyer to
leave the place. After some parley
Strauss started down the steps. but
when he was halfway down the
fight Of steps he pulled out the gun.
Akoki, however, was Johnnie-on-the-
spot. He jumped Strauss and wrest-
ed the gun from him, whereupon he
placed him under arrest.
The gun, an ancient weapon, and
come cartridges were taken to the
police station. Sheriff Iaukea stated
this morning that in all probability a
definite charge would be placed
against Strauss during the day.

fact, when he declared there amt

NEW EMERGENCY BRAKE
WILL PREVENT WRECKS

''The wreck al Rosemary station,
where lives were lost and score in
jured this morning, will be impossible
when railroads adopt the safety device
which have just perfected" said Will
liam II. Gardner, the well-known Los
Angeles inventor, last night.
Mr.. Gardner is the inventor OF the
Gardner emergency brake, the Gardner
fender and dozen other inventions
which arc sure TO prove of great bene-
fit to mankind.
"If the cars had been equipped with
the automatic clutch device which
have just patented, both of them would
have been brought to a dead standstill
when they had approached within 10C
feet Of each other. The distance where
| the clutch would be applied can be
changed and set at any distance de-
sired" said the inventor.
with this device two cars will not
be mechanically able TO come together
Railway accidents will always oc-
cur as long ~ it is physically possible
to get two cars together on the same
track. ] purpose 70 make II impossible
A device that will do this will shame
the careless employees who take
chances or who are momentarily neg
lectful.
ut is now possible that precious hui
man lives may be lost because mo-
torman is for one second absent
minded or If his attention is distracted
from his work"
Mr. Gardner says his device is elec-
tric, and applies emergency brakes on
cars when danger comes, whether OF
not the operatives are at their posts
or even on the car.
II have long wanted to place the
menace Of 'head-on' and 'tail-end' col
lisions out OF the pale of possibility
said Mr.. Gardner, "and I believe / have
succeeded. I am going to lay my in
Vention before street railway officials
in few days believe this will be

The weather at Magdalena is reported
as cloudy and threatening, winds hav-

Different types of vessels, with differ
