GUILTY PLEA
 OF TURNER
(Continued from Page one.)

mer trial the Court believed that Dunbar did tell Turner that the three boys were convicts, but nevertheless it was case of buying and selling in order to make a profit. I stated to the jury, upon the evil dence on the trial. the Court believed that Turner had nothing to do with the kid mapping of these boys, though he must have known that he could not hold them fin violation of the law of the land.
 For the reason stated, I will not impose harsh punishment. I will impose the Iightest sentence the Jaw allows and may suspend some of it, and allow time for the payment of a part of it. The main object the Court has is to break up practice in the future. It Is not hard or unjust exaction to demand Of man when he hires another, who is in bonds. to make some inquiry as to his offense and for what amount he has been fined. and not to speculate upon his misfortune. If he does not make inquiry. and deals with him for a profit, although he may not have known that he was violating the statute of the United States, he is prop erly punished, in such a case, from both a moral and legal standpoint.
 Turner was then called up for sentence. and being asked the usual question. said that he had nothing to say; that his coun- sel had spoken for him.
 Judge Jones then said The sentence of the law is that you be fined $1,000. and stand committed until your fine is paid. Your counsel and the District Attorney can arrange the payment. and you may go. If the Court did not believe that this is a case of moral, as well as technical peonage, it would not have passed sent ence. It does not desire to see any one suffer unjustly. I am told by people in your community that you are an honest man. and comply with your contracts. You disclaim any personal knowledge of any cruel treatment of these men and in- sist it was inflicted without your knowl- edge or consent. When a man puts oth- CTS lawlessly in the power of his agent, he is morally and legally responsible in most respects for all they do I trust this will be the end of these transactions in the future. and that you will go back home and regain what you have lost I think it proper further to tell you that in making the charge to the jury as to what their verdict should be, upon the undisputed evidence in the case. that did not feel any personal iinltindness to- wards you. but was actuated solely by the desire to do my duty. I will never,

MILLER IS REINSTATED
GIVEN OLD POSITION IN Gov-
 EMINENT PRINTING OFFICE.
Had Been Removed Because of His Expulsion by Labor Organ
 ization-The Stand of
 President Roosevelt.

Washington, July 20-william A. Mill Ter, May 10th last, was relieved by the public printer from his position of assis- tant foreman of the government printing office because he had been expelled from the local union of the International Brotherhood of Bookbinders. MT. Miller complained to the Civil Service Commis- sion and July the chairman requested Mir. Miller's re-assignment to duty, his removal being contrary to the civil service rules. Complaint also had been made to the President and by his direction Sec retary Cortelyou investigated the matter.
 July 18th President Roosevelt wrote as follows:
 My Dear Secretary Cortelyou-In ac- cordance with the letter of the Civil Ser vice Commission of July Is. the public printer will reinstate w. A. Miller in his former position. Meanwhile l will with hold my final decision on the whole case until I have received the report of the investigation on Miller's second commit nication. which you notify me has been begun today July 13.
 "'On the face of the papers presented Miller would appear to have been re- moved in violation of law. There is no objection to the employees of the govern ment printing office constituting them selves into body If they desire so to do but no rules or resolutions of that union can be permitted to override the laws of the United States, which 1t is my sworn duty to enforce.
 Please communicate copy of this letter to the public printer for his infor- nation and that of his subordinates."
 The next day the President followed this letter up with the following letter to Sec- retary Cortelyou:
 Tn connection with my letter of yester- day I call attention to the judgment and award by the anthracite coal strike com mission in its report to me on March 18th last. It is adjudged and awarded that no person shall be refused employment or in any way be dlscriminated against on account of the membership or non membership in any labor organization and that there shall be no discrimination against or interference with any employe who is not a member of any labor organization and that there shall be no discrimination against or interference With any employe who Is not a member of any labor organization by members of such organization.
 T heartily approved this award and Judgment by the commission appointed by me which included a member of a labor union. This commission was dealing with labor organizations, working for private employers. It is, of course, mere elementary .dency to require that all the governments departments shall be handled in acordance with the principle thus clearly and fearlessly enunciated
 Please furnish a copy of this letter both to Mir. Palmer and to the Civil Ser vice Commission for their guidance"
 It is announced that the public printer Palmer Wednesday. July Is, notified Mir. Miller that he had been reinstated and might report for duty any day.

COUNTY BILL PROGRESS.

With only forty pages of the County
bill yet to read. and the most trouble
some sections, those dealing with the
officials and the taxes gone over tenta-
lively. the outlook for some action on
the part of the majority party members
of the Legislature, which Will give to
the people a forecast of the measure
which will be passed. is excellent.
The work of getting through with the
first reading was no light task but the
caucus has stuck to 1t manfully. and
its reward will come in that there
will never be any suggestion that the
work of this session was done without
careful weighing of the two sides to
every measure, The bill is well I'M
derstood now, and when 1t comes to
the question Of amendment, the aitera-
tons will be made with care and dis
erection. The caucus will not even make
a change in "A single phrase OF the bill
without there having been full con-
situations with those whose skill made
possible such measure. and this will
give double assurance OF a technically
perfect law.
The outlook is that there will be a
deal of debate over the amendments
which are now considered as necessary

taxation feature will call for an

1t is to be hoped, now that the Ter
ritorial Agricultural bureau has got an
invoice of tobacco seeds that ranchers
will give them a fair trial. Tobacco
grown under canvas is making Connec-
ticut farmers rich and the process
might be used to advantage here. Mr..
Wray Taylor not only has seeds to
give away but will furnish directions
for planting them. On the surface of
things there would seem to be no reason
in soil or climate-there is certainly
none in latitude-why the tobacco of
Cuba could not be equalled in Hawaii.

the Honolulu cigar will be as famous
as that of Havana or Manila?
