NEW TRIAL.
Supreme Court Passes on an Interest
ing Point and Orders a New
Trial.

The supreme court has passed on an
interesting point Of law in the case of
the State VS.. Joseph Koerner. The
defendant was arrested and tried for
larceny of a watch. In his defense
the defendant offered to show that. he
was intoxicated at the time the alleged
crime was committed. the trial court
rejecting the offer to show his intOXi-
Gated condition. While laying down
the principle of law that intoXication
does not excuse crime. the supreme
court holds that larceny is a crime in
which must be shown the intent to de-
prive another Of the property taken.
and that the defendant should have
been allowed to show his condition to
determine this point. The court there
fore reverses the finding of the lower
court and orders a new trial. The
syllabus of the opinion is as follows:

The defendant. as for a defense,

EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION,
Features of the Day Mt Hamilton,
LOudOun County, Va.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
HAMILTON, Va, September o. 1899
Emancipation day was appropriately OBJ
served here today. A procession formed in
f1cnt CT the Odd Fellows Hall and paraded
the principal streets, headed by the Lincoln
Brass Band, and led by Daniel Pearson
chief marshal. AT the grounds set apart
for the exercises the address of welcome
was delivered by Rev. Peter Fisher of
Hamilton and was responded to by Rev
Loveing. letter of regret was read from
Mr. John r. Lynch, after which Mr. j. H.
Harrison of Alexandria delivered an adj
dress. Mr.. Harrison said the colored man
had but little more to rejoice for today
than has the white man. Emancipation
brought freedom to the slave and peace and
happiness to the slave owners Wealth, he
said, is the power of all nations, and this
wealth depended upon the products of
labor. All classes and all coors should
stand together this great question of
labor. In spite of all that had been said of
the Incidence of the negro of this country,
the speaker declared he is paying tribute
to this government $500 600 0Oo worth cf
property. Mr.. Harrison appealed to his
people never to resort to Violence but when
outrages are committed upon them they
could best acquit themselves by appealing
to the better class of white citizens which
stands for law and order. Alexandria, Va,
he said. had allowed her streets to flow in
blood at the hands of mob law but he was
proud to say that some Of the best white
citizens of the town did all they could to
prevent 1t.

corporated. The business was established
in 1892 by William A. Hungerford, who for
seven years previous to that time had been
the advertising writer for Woodward &
Lothrop. Mr.. Hungerford soon built I'D in
ashlngton an extensive advertising bust
ness. In no other city are so many mer-
chants represented in the advertising col
umns of the daily press. Mr.. Hungerford
advocated the use of crisply written, bust
ness-like advertisements, with frequent
changes of copy.
In 1886 Louis p. Darrell, who had before
that time conducted an advertising agency
OF his own, merged it with Mr. Hunger
lord S, and has been valuable assistant

CONTRACT LABOR IN HAWAII
D. A. Ray Says the Law Has Not Been
Evaded.
Only Enough LabOrers Have Been
Imported to Do Work on
Plantations.

CHICAGO. September 23-D. A Ray, who
was associated with the Hawaiian commits
sion in a clerical capacity, is in Chicago.
He has just returned from a three months
visit to Hawaii where he conducted GER
tain Investigations in behalf of the COM
mittee regarding different phases of the
oriental or contract labor problem.
Pending the adoption of government laws
for the islands 1t has been charged the
government there has permitted the i'm
portation OF large numbers of japanese
laborers, the iuea being to rush them in be-
fore the contract labor laws of the United
States become operative.
Il am convinced the government has not
permitted anything of the kind" he said,
'and believe it has exercised the greatest
care in admitting only such laborers as
seemed absolutely necessary to meet the
imperative demands of the sugar planters.
When a large planter went to the officials
and said It was necessary for him to Sc
cure additional help or suffer a heavy
financial loss. and an investigation proved
the truth of his statement. he was permit
ted to secure such a number of men as
would do the work, but no more, and care
was taken In drawing the contract SO that
at the expiration of their term of service
the men should be returned to their native
country.
Il am persuaded the government is deal
ing fairly with this country. 1t has been
frequently said oriental labor is necessary
In doing the work of cultivating and gath
ering the cane, and that white labor is in
capable of standing the work continued
Mr.. Ray. 81 looked into that subject thor
oughIy, and am convinced that not only Is
the white nan capable of standing the
work in question. but that he can do the
work better than the brown man, as the
Japanese are called. The climatic condi-
tons, which, 1t has been said, the white
man cannot stand, are myth. 1t is I'M
Guestionaby hot in the cane fields at times
hut hotter weather is to be found in this
country.
THE best proof of my statement is to be
found in the result of actual experiments
that have been conducted on me of the
large plantations where fourteen Ameri-
cans were brought from California. l saw
number of these men and all OF them de-
clared they had not suffered from the hot
weather much as in California. ntra-
ry to the generally accepted opinion the
planters prefer white labor to oriental"

There are undoubtedly republicans of
prominence in Ohio who would see with de
light the state go to the democrats to be
able to gloat over their opponents in their
own party. 1t is claimed, however, that
these men are more prominent than nu-
merous, on the order of the countryman's
two bullfrogs that raised such a din he
thought the creek was full of frogs. This
is q big element of doubt in the situation.
At this early stage of the game no one
knows how much sulking in the republican
tents there will be. However the republi-
can managers will endeavor to gauge the
extent of this sentiment before election day
and the sulkers will be brought face to
