Memorial Day.


Memorial Day was observed
throughout the country more elab-
orately than any similar day in his
tory. Its observance in La Iunta
was no exception to the general
rule, there being a larger turnout
than was ever before witnessed in
this city. The parade in the morn
ing was one OF the largest ever
known here, extending over four
blocks in marching order.
The parade formed on Trinidad
plaza, marched south on Colorado
avenue to Illinois street, and thence
west TO the cemetery. 1t was
headed by the La Junta band and
followed by the fire department in
uniform, the Odd Fellows, the
knights OF Pythias, c. A. R. and
a long line Of carriages. Two
wagons decorated with flags and
bunting accommodated host OF
school children.
The exercises at the cemetery
were short and impressive, after
which the graves of the following
fallen heroes in the bivonac of the
dead were silently decorated with
floral emblems:

BERTIE MUDD'S CASE.
Motion to Release Her From Care of
Board of Guardians.

Motion to Release Her From Care of
Board of Guardians.
Judge Bradley, in Criminal Cour> No. 2,
today heard arguments and testimony in
connection with the petition filed Thurs
day by Dorinda Mudd, who seeks to have
her daughter released from the custody of
the board of childrens guardians. Judge
Bradley stated that the matter embraced
several questions of Importance that he
desired to consider carefully. The court,
therefore. took the matter under advise
ment, explaining that he will announce his
decision Wednesday next. In the mean
time the girl will remain in the custody of
the board, although the court was asked
to release her on her personal bonds pend
ing the announcement Of the decision
The petition set forth that BERTHE was
committed to the care Of the board of
guardians by one of the judges of the Po-
lice Court December IA, 1895, being at that
time over fifteen years of age. she was
committed without cause, it is charged
ana since the date mentioned to the lrese:t
time has been deprived of her liberty and
held In close confinement by the board
according to the petition, BERTHE, the 10th
instant, reached her eighteenth birthday
ana Is 1ully competent and capable of TAX
ing care OF herself. The girl has never been
charged or adjudged guilty of any offense
1t Is added. The mother is a hard-workjpg
woman, SO she says, and has a comforta ole
nome for her daughter, the latter being
fully able and competent. it is explained, to
earn her own living, and, If released cnuId
secure employment at once
In ms argument in support of the petit
tlon Attorney j. H. Smith declared that
II was never intended that the boa
should retain the custody Of the girl after
she reached mature age. 1t was added that
BERTHE is deprived Of her liberty because of
no offense committed by her, she being
kept at the He use of the Good Shepherd.
Assistant District Attorney d. w. Baker
looked after the interests of the board of
guardiana. In his response to the petition
ne took the stand that BERTHE was properly
committed to the care of the board, and
as there Is no law in force in the District
OF Columbia that fixes the majority of a
female at eighteen years, the board should
retain the custody of the girl until she at
tains the age of twenty-one years. She
was originally committed 10 the control or
the board because Of vicious surround
iHgs."
Testimony was Introduced to show that
the mother has suitable and comfort a BILE
home for the girl at the present time. The
matter was discussed at length by counsel
on both sides.

water from the surface wells at the sea
level, II water can be found there. This is
enormously expensive cultivation. sin
gle pump and appurtenances installed at
one of the Hawaiian plantations during the
past year cost $1I5.OpO. II water is dis
covered and is pumped upon the lands
available for this purpose there is bare
possibility that the total product of Ha-
vail may be increased teo350 600 or 4000 600
tons per annum. There is no probability
that 1t will ever exceed 100000 tons per
annllm. In fact, there isyevery probability
that large portions of the, lands now plant
eo with sugar cane will be changed into
coffee plantations, as that Industry is
rapidly being established in Hawaii and in
many localities is more profitable than
sugar. y 2
Annexation Will Eliminate Asiatfc
Labor.
One of the chief reasons urged on behalf
of beet sugar against annexation is that it
will bring Asiatic labor into competition
with the labor of this country. The utter
fallacy and disingenuousness of this argu-
ment is shown as follows:
First. By the fact that Asiatic labor is
now being used in Hawaii, and the sugar
produced thereby admitted free into the
United States, and that so long as the is
lands are Independent and the reciprocity
treaty liable to abrogation, the island
possible labor in view Of the uncertainty
of their market: for If the reciprocity
treaty should be abrogated and duty i'm
posed upon Hawaiian sugar the industry
could survive in Hawaii only by using the
cheapest possible labor
moreover, as long as Hawaii remains in
dependent. the flooding of the islands with
Aslatics Will continue; for one Of the de-
mands which Japan has made and is still
making upon Hawaii is that by virtue of
her treaty with Hawaii, Japanese subjects
nave an equal right to enter Hawaii with
hawaiian citizens, and that this treaty
right cannot be abrogated by Hawaii,
If annexation does not take place, Hawaii
VIII De LETT face to face with Japan with
this demand as an issue, which Hawaii
mas no strength to resist, and which the
object to.
Second If, on the other hand annexation
takes place, there will be no longer any
possibility of Chinese cheap labor in Ha-
"an' LOT the American exclusion act will
1mmed1ately apply. Moreover the annexa-
ton treaty specifically provides that no
more Chinese shall come to Hawaii.
The American Treaty With Japan.
Under annexation the Japanese Hawaiian
treaty, under which Japan claims the alb
solute right Of immigration for her sub
1ects, will lapse, and the American
treaty with Japan govern immigration to
Hawaii. This treaty provides that the
United States may at any time limit, con-
troll or prohibit the immigration of Jana
nese laborers to the United States.
The exact opposite of the claim made by
the opponents Of annexation is, therefore,
correct, viz:
Instead of annexation perpetuating COM
petition with Asiatic labor, annexation will
terminate It. and bring the cost of labor in
Hawaii up to an Anglo-Saxon basis, So
that there will be no advantage to Hawai-
ian sugar producers over American sugar
producers in this respect.

No Possible Danger From Island

ASlATIC LABOR QUESTION

The argument is being advanced by the
opponents of annexation that it will be in
furious to the beet sugar industry of the
United States. and therefore. in the inter-
ests of the farmers, should be defeated
Not only is this argument being made, but
pamphlets. circular letters and prepared
editorials are being distributed through the
country by thousands for the purpose of
creating sentiment against the treaty and
securing petitions from farmers against its
ratification.
The statements made in this literature
and by those supporting the argument are
without four dation and based on many
misstatements of facts. For example one
CT the circular letters being sent out states
that the wages of laborers in Hawaii are
81 month. whereas it is a matter Of COM
mon knowledge and government statistics
that tie cheapest field laborer in Hawaii is
paid $3.50 a month and found, while the
average wages are from SIS to SIT a month.
The absolute fallacy of the claim that
sugar produced by Hawaii can in any man.
rer interfere with the beet sugar produc-
ton of the United States is shown by an
examination of the United States statistics
upon the subject.
United States Stntistics.
The total consumption of sugar in the
United States for 1896 was 2,200.00O short
tons of 1000 pounds each. The treasury
statistics for the last twenty-three years
show that the average annual increase Of
sugar consumption in the United States.
during that period, has been II per cent

If the increase for 1898 is up to the aver
age of the increase for the past twenty
three years, 1t will amount to an increased
consumption for the year of 264.0 tons.
If the increased consumption is only 100000
tons per annum for the next ten years 1t
will give a total consumption of 100000
tons per annum at the end Of ten years
