PAYS FOR CRIME
WITH HIS LIFE
Beattie Goes to Electric Chair
With Smile - Leaves
Confession.

RICHMOND, Virginia, November
25.-Henry Clay Beattie Jr, one of the
most remarkable criminals in the
history of this state, paid the penalty
early yesterday for the cold blooded
murder of his girl wife. He went to
the electric chair with smile and was
the coolest man in the entire party
which witnessed his execution. He
was pronounced dead within one min
ute after the turning on of the current.
The ministers who attended him
after his conviction and sentence to
death state that Beattie made writ
ten confession of his deed and left it
with them on November 8. The an
nouncement comes as great surprise,
for up TO the moment of his death the
condemned man protested his inno-
eence emphatically.

The Loss in Coffee.

Regarding the effects of the attacks
of the fly on coffee, Mr.. Giffard states
that on a number of acres of the Kailua
plantation planted to coffee the crop
has been more or less attacked. From
investigation, he believes that the flies
hurt tie crop to the extent that in
tested berries drop from the tree while
the beans are immature. AS all such
berries have TO be picked up to prevent
unnecessary future infestation, consid-
cradle extra labor has to be employed.
While the frrhtay does not hurt the
bean itself, the fact that Immature hor'
ries drop from the trees causes con-
siderable loss, as although such infest.
ed berries are picked up, the beans are
not as marketable as those that remain
on the tree until fully ripe.
In Kailua," explains Mr.. Gifrard,
+" all fallen berries are gathered and
sent 10 the pulper, together with the
picked fruit. OF course the pulper de-
stroys all maggots in the berry, while
the beans are graded after the pulp

Apparently the Hilo breakwater IL

ity Of rock which is being taken from

was reported in this city that Major
winslow, in charge of the work for the
government, had condemned the quail

Just now the contractors are look
ing for a better grade of stone, but
seem TO be engaged in controversy
with the Hilo railroad over freight
rates in an effort to secure the proper
stone from the old Metzger quarry near
Kapoho.
Contractor Ed Lord, who has been
personally engaged in building the new
contract section Of the breakwater, re-
turned from Hilo ON Tuesday, and after
conference here in regard to certain
phases of the work, will return to HilC
tomorrow on the Claudine, and in the
near future a decision will be arrived
at as to whether the old quarry stone
will be utilized or a new quarry site
win be located near the one which the
contractors have already attempted tC

ENCOURAGE MENT FOR
JAPANESE FARMERS

AS practical result of the campaign
which has been made by the Japanese
press to encourage the Hawaiian Japa-
nese to engage in small farming, par.
ticularly in view of the market pos
sibilities that Honolulu is soon to
afford, a Japanese company has just
been incorporated to handle the small
farm products Of Japanese growth, the
company including a number of the
leading Japanese merchants of the
city Messrs. Kawahara and Sumida
are at the head of the concern, which
begins with a capital stock of ten
thousand dollars.
The formation of the company is to
overcome the difficulties found in mar
keting produce in small lots and in
securing adequate transportation ar
rangements. The company intends to
act as middlemen for growers and con-
sumers and plans also to open up an
export trade with the Coast and an inn
port trade from Japan. 1t viii also
undertake to handle fresh fish, not only
the fish caught in local waters, but
fresh fish imported in cold storage from
Japan.
Importing fresh fish from the Far
East to Honolulu may strike most peo
pie as suggestion to carry Goals to
Newcastle, but the Japanese claim to
know what they are talking about.
There are plenty of fancy fish of the
tea house brand now imported from
Japan, but the price is prohibitive ex-
cept to the wealthy on account of the
small volume of business. The trans
pacific vessels are better fitted now for
this business and when imported in
large quantities the fish viii be lower

There would be a further advantage
for the sugar estates, because in the
manufacture of alcohol they would re.

nitrogen and potash salts that were
taken out of the soil by the sugar.
This wash could be returned to the soil
through the irrigation systems and
would be valuable fertilizer, thereby
effecting a saving.

On account of the falling off of the
