HENRY N. ALMY,

United States Shipping Commissioners.
These views are eminently sensible
and reflect credit upon the official who
expresses them, to say nothing OF
demonstrating his fitness for the duties
of his office. Since Shipping Commits
sioner Almy's attitude became general
" known much favorable comment has
been made thereon by the press in
various parts of the country. As, ex-
employing the interest taken in the
matter we reprint the following, from
Shipping Illustrated, of New York: =
A story went the rounds Of the press,
recently to the effect that the son Of
more or less prominent New Yorker
had been sent to sea on the British
shipentine Falls of Garry, now bound
for Sydney, n. s. W., in order to cure
him of certain evil propensities that
for several years past have got him
into trouble and caused his people much
shame and modification. Desertion
from the army, stealing, and forging
checks have been among the youth s
pastimes, which from all reports spring
from a diseased mind. From many
points of view the case is a sad one.
but in it's very nature the experiment
of sending the boy to sea can not be
considered as anything more than a
forlorn hope, with all the chances
favoring the belief THAT the young
man will benefit very little, if at all,
from his experience before the mast.
From another point of view the case
is to be regretted, for it is one of those
things which help to maintain the be-
lief that life at sea in merchant YES
sci is the very life for natural born
or incipient criminals. The more this
belief persists, the less attractive viii
a sea life become for young men whose
lives are clean and wholesome. Just
as the coinage may be debased by an
alloy of inferior metal, so can the
standard of sea life be debased by
making merchant vessels serve as re-
formatory ships.
With the maintenance of public in
terest in this matter, there is hope
| that the courts of the country will dis.
continue the habit of extending a very
| doubtful form of mercy to criminals
at the expense of an honest calling.
It would seem that hint from the
| Bureau of Navigation to the shipping
commissioners at the various ports
might not be out of place.

Mr.. Almy's letter and the favorable
editorial reference thereto of the Sea
man s Journal follow:
The Journal recently referred to the
attitude of Shipping-COmmissioner
Amy, Of Honolulu, T. H., on the sub
iect of sending criminals to sea in
stead Of to Jail. We publish herewith
the letter of Shipping Commissioner
Amy to United States District Judge
Andrade:
Department of Commerce and Labor.
Office of U. S. Shipping Commissioner,
Honolulu, T. Fl.
May 10, 1909.
Honorable Frank Andrade, Judge of
the District Court, Honolulu.
Sir: I have recently been approach
ed. several times, by the County Sheriff
ana uuHDtI u pioluAhChI SibiACA5
and attorneys, requesting me to ship
men out of the country as seamen, who
were in jail for offenses against the
laws.
I beg respectfully to call your atten-
ton to the fact that there is always
a large number of men on this water
front anxious to obtain positions on
vessels by which they can earn hv-
ing, or get transportation from a terri
tory where they can not do so. | do
not consider it proper to countenance
the shipment of criminals in their
places. Taking a bona fde seaman
from Jail, where he has been placed
for some misdemeanor, and putting him
aboard his ship, is a very different
matter.
A vessel is very convenient place
in which to get rid of an unruly boy,
but I see no reason why it should take
the place of jail or reform school.
Seamen may be rough in their ways,
and, when ashore, create an unfavorable
impression by their habits; but at sea,
away from the temptations of town,
they are not all bad, and | can see
no reason why they should be forced
to associate with criminals in the fore
castle.
I hope you will understand that 1
am writing to inform you of the re-
quests made to me, and not as crit.
cism upon the methods of the court.
Respectfully,
A

BOYCOTT CONDEMNED
TRADES COUNCIL OF PEN
 SAC0LA CRITCIsED.
Acticn of Labor 0rwanisation VIII Cause stores Which Have Closed Haif Days On Fridays to Re-
 main Open.

Pensacola. Fla. June 11.--tspecial.)---- A conflict between the merchants and business men of the city and the Cen tral Trades Council. body composed of some of the labor unions. has arisen, and has brought condemnation upon the heads of the trades council rom both newspapers and is likely to result In further action upon the part or the merchants.
 The act that brought on the ,es- trangement was the fact that some of the merchants of the city declined to give their employees half holiday on Fridays. as some others had voluntari- ly done for a number of years. A num- Der of the stores closed their places of business beginning with the hrst Friday in June and the employees had half holiday. Others decided that they did not desire to do so and remained open. with the result that the Central Trades Council in a card to the labor ing people. placed boycott upon all stores that did not voluntarily iclose each Friday afternoon.
 This aroused much ire and condem- nation, which has been taken up by all newspapers. who have strongly con- demned such . boycott. It is probable that the action of the trades council will result In those employees who have been getting half holiday be- ing cut off and all stores and places of business remaining open each Fri- day afternoon.

SMOKING BY MACHINE.
The Governments Method Of Testing
the Quality of Cigars.

Not one man in ten knows a good
cigar when he gets tiff he ever does
by chaace-and he generally makes
his selection by the color. the shape,
and the smoothness of the wrapper
Very often, as matter OF fact. really
excellent smokes" are hidden In
rough wrappers, and have no particu-
lar shape. while the beautifully brown
and symmetrical perfecto may prove
a snare and a delusion.
The government, however. now has
the cigar under Amusement, and Is
smoking many of them in order that
the citizen may have accurate data to
guide his selection when he feels that
a weed would do him good. An at
tractive haze hangs about the depart
ment OF agriculture. and a pleasant
aroma drifts out 10 passersby.
AS it was decided, much TO the re-
gret OF the clerks in the bureau OF
plant industry. that no two persons
would smoke a cigar in exactly the
same way, nor would the same indi-
vidual smoke two cigars under exact

sary to devise some means OF smoking
the cigars by machinery, and yet at
the same time stimulate the condi-
tions existing when the ordinary cit
izen does the job.
The apparatus finally constructed
produces the pull on the cigar by
means OF an aspirator, which is filled
by a continuous inflow of water and
emptied at regular intervals by ST.

II Is for the purpose OF determining
what is the best combination of filler,

IL has already reached the conclusion
that in order 10 secure a good burn
due consideration should be given to
the proper balancing OF the compon-

atively heavy wrapper, while a light
