F|CHTSFORFREEDOM
Young Filipino Is Alleged Victim
of Persecution.
Soto, Convicted OF Felony, Long q
Fugitive In the British Crown Col.
ony Of Hongkons---ExtradItion
10 Sought After Fbur Years.

Hongkong.-Alleging persecution OF
Filipino patriot by the Philippine
authorities is causing much denuncia-
tory comment in the far east especial
Iy in this British Crown colony, where
big part Of the drama Is being
played.
The victim is a young journalist,
Vincente Soto, qualified attorney
and brother of one of the most prom
inent members OF the Filipino assem-
bly,. Sotto,- because of his ardent
championing of the cause of his COM
patriots. has been tried twice for sedi-
| tion. and twenty-four times for libel.
In every instance save one, however,
he was discharged. Failing TO sup
press him by these means. the au-
thorities brought a charge OF seduc-
ton of a, native girl against him and
he was sentenced to four years i'm
prisonment and ordered to pay large
sum to the girls mother. On appeal
the verdict was confirmed, but the SEN
tences were substantially reduced.
Being on BAIL Soto fed from the
islands. and for the past four years
| has been residing in Hongkong and
: for the last six months has been edit
ing a little bi-lingual called the Phil
| ippine Republic, devoted to immediate
and complete independence for the
Filipinos. Published and run in the
British colony, II has warmly de-
nounced the government of the Philip
pines. For time the Manila author
| tiles did nothing. but when the paper
began to circulate in the islands and
, to receive support and recognition
| from Boston they revived the seduc-
tion case and few weeks ago sought
his extradition.
In it's issue a week before the ap.
plication for extradtion the little
| journal published what 1t described as
verbatim account of a conversation
between Mr.. Artacho and General
Ricarte, on the little island of Lama,
Hongkong wherein the former stated
| that he had been commissioned by
Gen. Franklin Bell to urge the latter
to take the oath OF allegiance to the
/ United States and return to the Phil
ipplnes. promising him. on the assur-
ance, of General Bell, that If he did so
he would get fat position in the gov
ernmept service. Ricarte, however,
turned the offer down.
II is admitted that the interview
took place, but 1t is now being urged
that the former was in no way sent
as an emissary from General Bell.
Sotto is fighting extradition on the
ground that the proceedings are being
taken for the purpose of furnishing him
for a merely political offense.

Danny Reed, Popular Montrose Lad,
Snaps Bone in Third Round and

Referee Interferes.

An unfortunate fracture of Danny
Reeds right wrist in the third
round of his go with Jack Welsh at
the Turner's last night prevented To-
cal boxing fans from seeing one of
the classiest exhibitions of the manly
art ever pulled of in Grand juno
tion.
Just as the glove work was getting
interesting Reed swung hard for his
opponents jaw and the big Austral-
ian stepped in close. cracking the
boys wrist against his broad jaw
bone. Reed kept on his feet for
moment longer, staggering and
swinging wildly with his left. The
pain was too much for him, however,
and as Welsh was about to lift him
good one, Referee Lumley stepped
in and stopped the go.
Reed is fast and clever, but he
picked too big a man in Welsh. The
big fellow will tip the scales at l Sc
today, while the Montrosean is just
inside the lightweight limit. Reed
showed a good defense and some
clever footwork before he lost his
battle. but Welsh had a reach that
prevented him doing any effective
work so far as the bout went.

Today Secretary of State Pearce

instructions as to the proper pro-
cedure in initiating a bill In his
letter Hightower states that some
thing must be done If the home
steaders are to make a success of
their farming. AS the situation now
is there is little use to attempt to
raise farm products because of the
running at large of stock. Because
of this situation Mr.. Hightower
states that the farmers in the above
counties are combining to attempt
the passage of a herd law this
fall. With conditions as they are
at tnls llne damages cannot De Sc

and legal fence around his premises.
I'VE who ranch in the counties

unless We are given protection by
state law. The satisfactory condi-
tions that exist today with the far
mers and ranchers in both Oklahoma
and Kansas is the direct result of
protection afforded through the eff
ticient workings of the herd and fence
law operations which directly aid the
small man. When Colorado passes
such statutes then will the ranchers
and homesteaders begin to prosper,
and not until then"
Any such a move in this state, how
ever, will no doubt be opposed bit
terly by the big cattlemen of the
state, especially in the counties of
Garfield. Routt, Rio Blanca, Mesa
