ATLANTA, May lit has been
customary in certain cases, with courts
of lower jurisdiction, such as record
ers' courts and, occasionally even with
superior courts, to pass sentence for
petty offenses and instantaneous and
then suspend it on the condition that
the culprit leave the state.
This procedure is wholly Illegal and
is, in effect, violation of the constitu-
tional provision which forbids Danish
ment from the state as punishment,
according to Attorney General John c.
Hart, who has just given the prison
commission an opinion in a case in
which this point is involved.
Two women were convicted in Haber-
sham superior court of a misdeneanor.
They were fined and in addition SEN
fenced to II months service in the
changing. But the judge agreed to
suspend sentence provided they would
ave the state, and they said they
would do so. They were given an op-
portunity to go and as they did not
they were taken in custody by the
sheriff who carried them to the state
prison farm at Milledgeville, the law
providing that courts may, in their
discretion, send women misdemeanors
there.
An attorney for the women endeav'
ored to secure their release from the
state prison farm on the ground thaat
the judges order suspending the sen
tence if they would leave the state
vacated and invalidated the Changing
sentence.
This left the prison commission in
doubt of it's right to retain the women
at the prison farm and they submit
ted the question to the attorney gen
eral.
Judge Hart replied that the courts
suspension of the sentence on the con-
dition that they would leave the state
was wholly Illegal and void, because

ing the crop prospects were regarded
as greatly improved, owing to the
railroad earnings indicated expansion
in freight traffic. Expanding bank
clearings and an increasing supply OF
mercantile paper offering to bankers
was another index of the reviving ten
dency Of trade.
The stock market for the week was
animated and made an occasional
show of deciced strength. The adj
vances were so broken by reactions,
however, and the persisting rise was
so confined within a few stocks that
a close analysis of price movements
in detail shows long list of import

by the weeks operations. The coal
ers supplied the sensational feature
of the market and gave it the most
of its semblance of buoyancy and
strength. The spectacular rise in this
group was not accounted for by any
actual happenings, but by abundant
rumors, alleging a project near ma

critics and distribute the proceeds to
stockholders of the railroads. The re-
straint on the general price movement
argued a large speculative liquida-
ton. The motive for this realizing

to which prices have attained. The
average price level, is computed to
exceed any touched before January
of 1907. The buying which has
brought about these high prices is
founded on banking credits to an i'm
portant degree. Loans of the New

CONFIDENCE IN BUSINESS
CONDITIONS IS GROWING

NEW YORK, May 1S.-A feeling of
confidence over the progress of bust
ness and industrial development pre-
vailed in the financial community
last week. That events were shaping
toward restoration of prosperity
was the general conviction. In the
securities and money markets the ef-
feet of this conviction made itself
felt, but was tempered by the extent
to which the anticipation of this con-
dition had already gone in the specu-
lation. Hence, the uneven and irreg-
ular price movement, which left the
tone of the stock market confused
and uncertain.
Evidences of business improvement
came from practically all directions.
Special Importance was attached to
the advices from the metal trades.
The April statistics of the Copper
Producers Association showed that
the deliveries had taken care of all
but less than a million pounds of the
months production, while the rate of
production was fully maintained over
that of previous months. Reports of
continued heavy selling of refined
copper promised to turn in the heavy
accumulations of surplus stocks of
copper which has been going on for
months and depressing the market
and the outlook for that metal. 1t was
significant of the speculation cond1-
ton in the stock market that the cop
per securities themselves sold off on
the publication of this encouraging
exhibit, showing the large buying of
those stocks which had been done in
anticipation of this showing and &C.
companied, moreover, by exaggerated
reports of the improvement to be
shown. Iron and steel trade authori-
ties gave testimony to the growth OF
sounder conditions in that trade and
growing hopefulness over the future
There was, however, some apprehen'
sion in this trade that recent buying
represented some extent, speculation
and a stocking up for future needs

Want MONEY TO
Value RAILROADS
COMMERCE COMMISSION WILL
ASK AID.
Holds That it Has the Power, and
Only Needs the Wherewthal.-
Congress May Make Provision
For This Purpose Next
Session.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-"When
the deficiency appropriation bill is
made up, some time before the end of
the special session, there will be a
determined effort to insert in it an
amendment appropriating for the eX-
pense of a valuation of the railroads,
to be made by the interstate commerce
commission.
The commission is anxious to have
the money, and its friends have been
feeling out the opinion of leaders in
both houses with the view to deter
mining the chance OF the measure
passing. 1t is explained that there is
not only need for the appropriation,
but immedwiate need. The commission
requires a valuation. and requires it
without delay. The railroads in sew
eral cases have submitted valuations
of their property, made by their ex-
perts; and these are to go to the
courts with the cases, on appeal, in
volving orders of the commission to
reduce rates.
In the Southwestern cattle raisers'
cases the roads made up valuation
which is likely to become a turning
point in the case. The commission
maintains that it is altogether too
high. and has engaged en- expert in
criticism of it. This expert is En-
gineer Thompson, formerly of the Tex
as state railroad commission who had
charge of all the engineering work IN
making the valuation for the state, OF
| the Texas railroads. Mr.. Thompson
knows the business in all it's as
poets, and understands the underlying
theories of valuations which have beer
discussed by the courts. He is go
ing to apply his knowledge in the
present review of valuations made by
the railroads themselves.
In the Northwestern lumber cases
valuations have been submitted b!
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern and in order to disprove the I'm
mense valuations there claimed by tn
roads the commission feels that moth
ing less than its own complete, dc
tailed valuation will serve. Therefor
as these kind of demands are now cor
stantly rising, it wants the money t
make the valuation.
After a good deal of uncertalnlt.
the commission has decided that it ha
all necessary power to do this Worl

HAVE FLEET HERE
FOR FLORAL PARADE

The following is the report Of Act
ing Secretary Cooper to the Promo
tion Committee this week.
Gentlemen:-It is high time that
definite steps were taken to get our
Annual Washington's Birthday Floral
Parade under way. A director must
be selected and a general plan of
the celebration decided upon without
delay if we would make the most OF
orr opportunity Last years parade
was a greater success than previous
years. but the work was made doubly
hard for the director and his COM
mittees and for the citizens general
" who assisted by the short time for
preparation.
I believe that the people of Homo
lulu are beginning to fully appreciate
the Importance of our big annual
event. During the first few years,
most persons probably looked upon
the Floral Parade as a novel diver
sion-a big play day for the amuse-
ment of automobile. owners and the
public generally In short, that 1t
was purely a local affair and had
no wider significance, but lit is now
recognized in its true light as purely
a business proposition and one Of the
big advertising assets of the Terri
tory, and it must continue to be
looked at from this standpoint and
marked on our calenGar as a date
that is to be made more and more a
feature with each succeeding year
one that will be associated instinct
lively with the name Honolulu the
world over. And why shouldn't it.
See what New Orleans has made Of
her Mardi Gras. Does anyone sup
pose for a minute that that grea
southern city spends hundreds o.
thousands of dollars every year fol

Or that Memphis is working will

vaI', etc, just for fun? Not at all
It's business and it pays.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-10-08

In this kind of thing, just as in
most other advertising features, Ho-
nofuiu has many advantages over all
these other places. First and always,
ner geographical position is an as
set and always will be until flying
machines have made the world as
familiar with Hawaii as the rest of
the mainland now is with the states
of the Middle West or New England.
The bare name Hawaii or Homo
luu' now carries with it a glamor
of the unknown and sets the ina
gination at work building air castles
, to our credit. And this is an asset
that Ohio or Vermont or Oregon
never can have.
Then again, the selection of Wash
Iington's Birthday was a most happy
one and will always be distinctively
our own, for February is probably
1.-THE most unpleasant month of the
year in most parts of the civilized
world and no other place will ever
be likely to try to wrest our laurels
from us.
The Hawaii Promotion Committee
has already spent about $500 in adj
vertising next February's event and
will probably have some other bills
to meet In this connection. Already,
! presume, our Posters have been
distributed throughout Europe and
within another week or two they will
be well scattered over the Mainland
1T is now up to the people of Homo
lulu-and especially to the ones who
profit directly by the touring bust
ness-to take the matter up and
make the 1910 Floral Parade a sue
cess. And there is every evidence
that they will do so. I have talked
with a number of leading business
men and they are enthusiastic or
the proposition. Last year there was
only one business firm that had &

zens making up the rest. This firm
had one of the most appropriately
