A new industry may be developed
for Hawaii, the algaroba beans put to
a new and more profitable use. An
imitation coffee Ind imitation ginger
snaps may soon be traced to the
kiawe OF algaroba beans, which so
far have been used only for the feed
or horses, pigs and cattle.
E. j. Mooklar, domestic chemist
of Pearl Harbor, after experimenting
for months on the kiawe beans,
grinding them, roasting them, pulver.
izing them, putting them through ell
the PAGES OF experiments, sees a for.
tune in the beans, from which he says
he can make the most delicious imI-
tatioa or coffee substitute, sans the
evil effects of the caffein And he
also says that the kiawe-snap that
can be made of his preparation from
the bean beats in hundred ways the
time-honored and country-made gin
ger snaps. >..-
What is more, Dr. E. V. Wilcox.
agent IN charge Of the federal expert
ment station, agrees with him.
Il have used IT," he says, referring
to the aigaroba coffee. 1T is good to
drink, contains no caffein, and is both
a food and drink" =. ~
Miss Alice Thompson, chemist at
the station, has found that there is
30 per cent cane sugar in algaroba
beans. Therefore the tkfawe or al
garoba coffee-or whatever you wish
20 call it-does not need sugar. This
sugar is caramelized in roasting, thus
giving, says DR.. Wilcox, "a pleasant
tang TO the drink" ~. * --s. =
There are 100000 tons Of beans a
year grown in the territory. Some
coffee! Some kiawe-snaps! Up to
this writing the horses, pigs and cat.
tie have eaten about all of the beans
picked, consuming about $3.50, 900
pounds of the crushed beans year.
They may have to look around for a
new kind of feed ~
Mr.. Mooklar has applied for patents
to protect his process.

Supervisors, Before Decision
on Acceptance Made

A new public park may be estab,
lished in the city. park covering an
acre in the Manoa district. directly
opposite the Mills School.
1t became known at the meeting OF
the board of supervisors last night
that the trustees of the Oahu College
had offered to give this piece of land
to the city and county. without charge
provided it be kept as a park. s-.
Lester Petrie, chairman of the roads
committee, to whom the offer was
made, reported it to the board last
night. and asked that all the city
fathers accompany him to the site Sat.
urday afternoon at o'clock to inspect
it.
In the meantime, he said. he is hav.
ing prisoners clear off the land that
it may be better judged. He, did not
make a recommendation touching on
the offer, but made the observation
that as the city and county had the
opportunity to come by this property
without charge It might be well to
take advantage of it. Parks. he point
ed out, are necessary for a city; al
most impossible to have too many OF
them. particularly in this city.
mr.. P. c. Jones, one of the trustees
of the Oahu College submitted the
offer to me. asked for a few days
time for the board to act on it" said
Mr. Petrie.
The property lies directly opposite
the Mills School. it is not flat land.

Important because 1t upholis the
bylaws of the society, is the decision
which was handed down this morning
by the supreme court on an agreed
statement of facSs in the case of the
Seciedade Portugueza De Sante, An
tonic Benefcente De Hawaii against
Jose Dos Passes Rodrigues. The
court holds that the expense of a
previous litigation involving a NOR
tuary benefit shall be deducted from
the benefit, even though the former
case was won by the beneficiary.
This means the bylaws of this So
ciety, which made provision to the
same effect, is sustained. 1t also
means that the sum Of $267.60 and
costs of this present case in supreme
court shall be paid from the $1700
benefit which has been awarded Jose
Dos Passes Rodrigues, as sole bene-
ficiary designated by JoaO Augusta
Faria, a member who died January 26,
1912 The court, definitely says this
sum must bespaid from the benefit.
s. The opinion, written by Associate
Justice John #. De Bolt, says in its
syllabus: = :-r.' a. 'le's,
"a member Of : a benefit society
having designated I a beneficiary,
thereafter designates the same bene.
ficiary with others. In a suit brought
by the beneficiary first named against
the society to recover the mortuary
benefit, the expense incurred by the
society in the suit, under the bylaws
of the society, shall be deducted from
the benefit when paid, notwithstand-
ing that the suit was decided in ia.
vor of the beneficiary and against the
society"

The principal weakness of the mill
tary position of the German Empire
results from liability to attack on its
eastern-that is, its Russian-frontier,
says the London Telegraph. Not
that these Empires have at present
any hostile intentions toward one an
ether, through rivalry in the near
East may coneeivably bring thm
into collision at some future date.
On the contrary, both governments
have the strongest motives for cult
vat ng friendly relations, but Russia
is the ally of France, and dare not
ask the destruction of European
equipoise involved in the downfall of
the republic.
The eastern frontier of Russia
presents no natural feature like the
Rhine or the Alps, but the broad
la, flowing northward from
Poland, cuts off the whole Province
Of East Prussia, and Poland juts in
between Germany and Austria like
a wedge. To counterfeit the natural
d 'sadvantages of the situation, it has
been decided to strengthen the line
Of the river by fortified bridge heads,
so as to deny passage to the enemy
and to retain for Germany the great
est liberty of manoeuver.
Six important bridges at Thorn,
Fordon, Graudenz, Dirschau, Marien-
brrg and WHITEWATER, span the
river, and works of great strength
have already been begun to protect
hose points. 1t is reckoned that the
bridge heads. which will, constitute

SeIf-Respect and Water

Texas, and noticed men going to the

eys Inquiries brought out the in
formation that these men were engi-
neers and firemen coming in from
their runs. who desired to battle be-
fore going home. A record of the
baths has been kept, and showed that
practically every crew availed 'tself
of the privilege of bathing There
was no way of measuring the
teneft to the railroad, but 1t
was surely far in excess of
the cost of the baths. Even
where it is not practicable to furnish
regular baths, sanitary wash bowls
should be provided, so that the men
can at least clean their hands and
faces before going home. A man who
will walk the streets with a dirty
face soon loses his self-respect and
ambition Watch the crowds going
home from the shops and see how
many employers realize this fact.-C.

THE CRISIS AT TAMPICO.

The announcement by the administration that the
whole Atlantic fleet would be ordered to Tampico to
enforce the demand by Admiral Mayo to fire the
proper salute to the American flag in reparation for
the insult the flag by Mexican officers is the first
definite step taken by the government since the
troubles in Mexico began but the action of the gov
eminent must be judged by its sequel which the
nation and Europe await.
Why the whole American fleet should be sent to a
comparatively insignificant Mexican port on such a
mission be understood only in the reason that the
emergency calls for sailors and marines and that the
feet is merely for transport An ordinary gunboat
could do all the bombardment necessary and as there
is large number of foreign men-of-War in Mexican
waters there is no need of fleet to overawe them
But Huerta may be impelled to yield to a naval
demonstration of this impressive size, though he may
not go down the sea to look at it. Evidently that
is the hope of the peaceoyng secretary of state, who
has not yet decided what is to be done if Huerta is
obstinate.
In point of fact the hand of the administration
was forced by the imperative demand of the American
admiral, who didn't stop to consider the policy of
watching and waiting" when he made his demand,
but only thought of the honor of the nation and of
the prestige of its navy. As it his demand was
held up at Washington and the is to be further
investigated.
But suppose that Huerta refuses to order the
salute what then? If warships land large force
chapter in relations with Mexico will be
opened and events that government has tried to
avert by that brought the present crisis
will happen with vengeance There are thoughtful
and well-nformed in this country who
vinced that if land troops in Mexico will have
done to stay
In that event relations with all of Latin
America will be changed and will have assumed
enormous obligations to Europe for European lives
and property in Mexico Altogether the incident of
the insult the nag with the signs of rising popular
anger throughout the country have greatly disturbed
the official compacency at Washington.
