DICE ORDINANCE
IS PARTLY VOID
Law Prohibiting ProprietOrs
From Shaking Is Held to
Be Discriminatory
Gambling for Merchandise With
Customers Is Declared to
Be Legal

That portion of city ordinance S46
which prohibits merchant or his en-
ploye from shaking dice with a Gus
toner for merchandise was declared in
valid by Judge Cabaniss yesterday.
The remainder of the ordinance stands
good, so that the rafting OF the cubes
by anybody for cigars or drinks is
legal. Judge Cabaniss held that the
attempt to prevent cigar dealers and
saloon keepers from gambling with
their customers for goods was discrim-
inatory and in violation of the consti-
tuition.
This ruling was made in the case of
Charles E. Edwards, clerk in a cigar
store at GA Kearny street, who was
arrested for violation of the ordinance.
In order to test the law Edwards
pleaded guilty in Police Judge Deasy's
court and was fined SO. His attorney,
John j. Greeley, then sued out writ
of habeas corpus and thus brought the
matter before the superior court.
Judge Conley of MADEIRA, then sitting
in san Francisco. was first applied TO.
but he did not pass upon the constitu-
tionality of the ordinance. holding that
the pleadings were improper. inasmuch
as the complaint was not made part of
the petition. Judge Cabaniss. however.
did not require the complaint to be in
corporated.
The ordinance was passed last June
and was signed by Mayor Taylor only
after hesitation. The cigar dealers of
the first, being desirous of shaking dice
with their customers. 1t is said. how
ever, that many of the saloon keepers
were well satisfied with the law. Gree
ley was retained by the cigarmen TO
attack the ordinance.

COTTON.

A species OF smooth seeded cotton observed by
Captain Cook his first to the Hawaiian Islands
In addition to this species, which is closely related to
Sea Island, two native species of cotton, with short
brown lint, were at time quite abundant but have
gradually been exterminated by CATTLE until at present.
there are only few plants In existence One OF these
species is being propagated at the Hawaii Experiment
Station and will be hybrdized with Sea Island cotton
More less attention has been given to cotton at various
intervals in the past by native Hawaians and others In
1887 there cotton mill Hawaii, which produced
a good quality Of cotton cloth. Following the Civil War,
an interest awakened In cotton account OF its
high price and Sea Island cotton of fine quality
raised for five or six years nearly all OF the Islands
Descendants of these plants now in various
Lint of good quality has been taken from trees to rs
years old All cotton varieties In these Islands naturally
grow perennials.
For three or four years the Hawaii Experiment Sta
ton has been investigating the possibilities OF cotton
culture The varieties planted include several strains OF
Sea Island, three strains of Caravonica Chinese Upland
and Egyptian cotton. The Caravonca cotton, imported
from Queensland, has proved to be heavy yielding
variety with high percentage of lint of great strength
The only defects OF this variety thus far observed
the brtteness of stem and variability in type due to the
fact that II is hybrid between Sea Island and Kidney
coons. The prices quoted by cotton experts
pies OF our Caravonca cotton, range from sixteen to
cents per pound Selections have been made
from two Of Sea Island seed with the result that
lint OF the very highest quality has been obtained. Not
island region OF the mainland but the length of staple
is TWO inches, and the quality, as judged by cotton
ners superior to any that has been produced before
The cotton dealers have assured that Sea Island
is In class by itself The Bremen Cotton Exchange pro-
nounced the lint the best they had and worth
lthirty-six cents a pound.
These results highly encouraging. About thirty
companies and individuals planting cotton this year
In small areas, ranging from two to 25 Larger
plantations could not be made at present account of
the impossbiity of securing good Sea Island
MICA seed In commercial selections
which Will be made from the present paintings SUM-
Client supply will be had for much larger paintings which
are contemplated by commercial companies for year
With the formation OF suitable cotton association here
1t Will be possible for small to find
outlet for their seed cotton, at profitable price, and
with the present great increase in the demand for high
grade cotton there is prospect of overstocking the
market In this respect, Hawaii will be considered
competitor Of the Sea Island district the mainland
Our fiber is superior the commercial product grown
there and VIII be readily taken in Bremen, Liverpool

COFFEE.

So far be judged from available data, coffee was
first in Hawaii in 1917 The culture of this
taken up by white farmers and native Hawaiians
and yielded such good returns that the industry developed
rapidly setback wds suffered few years a
suit of the fall in the prices of coffee but by careful cu
tivation and the utilization of the soil between the

tation II is still possible to make fair profits from coffee
There about 1900 planted to coffee the larger
part of this being In the Kona and Hamakua dis
trcts OF Hawaii Coffee Is grown however all OF the
larger Islands. The amount OF coffee exported last year
was 5000 bags, with value Of $4,000. In the
perence OF coffee planters the yield is about
$50 pounds The cost of production Is estimated from
seven to ten cents per pound and the wholesale price
now received twelve cents pound This gives only
margin Of profit which II has been proposed Ia
increase by tari coffee; but In the of failure
to secure tarn the same result might readily be OBJ
tanned by the formation OF cooperative association with
agents the mainland to distribute the coffee directly
to consumers In this way the retailers price OF twenty
To thirty cents pound, could be obtained by the pro-
dhcers without raising the price Of coffee to the
sumer Coffee grows best in the Islands at attitudes
1000 to 1900 feet The first commercial crop is OBJ
tainet four Yeas from planting but during the first
two or t'"ee years 1t Is easy matter to realize

readily understood that the margin OF profit at
the present of production and the present market
prices is very attractive; but the other hand
should be remembered that much of our coffee which Is
sold for twelve cents per pound finally comes to the
at prices ranging from twenty to twenty
cents per pound The most logical business method OF
Increasing the profit the producer, and thus
ing the coffee industry is form association al
ready mentioned and thus the retail price Of
coffee rather than the wholesale price. Greater difficult
ties than would be experienced In the formation OF such
an association have already been by groups OF
producers the mainland.
The quality Of coffee Is excellent, the flavor and
aroma being mild II requires slightly different treat
ment in roasting from that recommended for the coffee
lof Porto Rico Central America and South America.
n busness-like coffee association formed the
market for coffee could be carefully studied and
developed In progressive manner At present Hawaiian
coffee is not well enough known the mainland, and
this is due to lack OF the part Of the
producers With the market difficulties solved, as to
render the profits from coffee still more attractive, II
would be realized that there large OF land
now lying idle, which suitable coffee culture

MANILA HEMP.

There Is a widely prevailing opinion that Manila hemp
OF good quality can be grown only In the Philippines
Nevertheless wherever Manila hemp has been planted In
our Islands Il has grown even vigorously than tho
species OF edible bananas Manila hemp being species of
banana may be rightly expected require cultural cond
tions similar to those OF the banana Such conditions
already have fulfilled In Localities In respect to rain
fa soil fertility and uniformity of temperature 1t is
hdeny believed that Manila hemp could be developed in
TO profitable industry In Hawaii number of groups OF
this plant have been observed the windward side OF
the Islands In very thriving condition and the
grounds OF the Hawaii Experiment Station where the
rainfall does not exceed thirty inches per year, Manila
hemp grows more vigorously than edible bananas 1t is
apparent that the development OF Manila hemp would
In no way conflict compete with the ssal industry.
Sisa Is grown soil too rough and dry for any other
commercial crop, while Manila hemp requires heavy
rainfall of fairly uniform distribution,

ouirements of ssal are very simple. Il grows and
duces satisfactory crop where the rainfall is low

be confined TO simply keeping the brush weeds out
