WASHINGTON, March 11.-That

Lafferty said:
This money power owns the United

nearly all the great newspapers and
the channels of news. it is a power
which has made its mailed fist felt by
any public servant who deos not bow 40

Nationwide Interest in Taylor Case
+'+
Misapprehension as to Sentence.
*.+ *.+ *.+ +.*
Good Conduct VIII Gain Freedom

The case,of Ollie Taylor is attracting
nation wide interest Letters are pour
Ing into The Georgian, office by every
mail protesting againsu further punish
ment Of this thirteen-year-o boy at
the industrial farm. Mayor Woodward
is receiving letters Of the same nature
from all over the country. These pro
tests are largely based ON a misappre-
hension Of facts in the case.
Briefly, the case or Ollie Taylor is
this: He was arrested when he was ten
years of age for the larceny of five
cent bottle of soda water. He pleaded
guilty and was convicted. He was sen
fenced to an ludeterminate term Of
eleven. years. TO carry him up TO the
| period Of q years OF age. lie was or
dered confined on the industrial farm.
The case was appealed and finally
reached the state supreme court. The
court passed on the Law. but not on
the facts, and decided that the law
under which the boy was tried and
convicted was constitutional The su-
premc court did not touch upon the
merits Of the case or the sentence.
An indejerminate sentence means
that the boy has been placed at the in
dustrial farm, and az soon as the super
iutendent Of the farm decides that the
boy is not incorrigible ne will be set
free This freedom may be given to
him tomorrow. next week, next month,
next year. or whenever the superintend
cnt of the farm considers it advisable
to do SO. And if the superintendent Off
the farm does not consider it advisable l
to free the boy under the law he mustE
remain at the industrial farm for clever,
years. or until he becomes II years off
age.
Case Not Novel.
The case Of ollie Taylor is neither'l
novel nor unusual, for there are 204
other boys now at the industrial farm
whose crimes were Of about the same
enormity as Ollie Taylor's and whose |
sentence runs to Approximately the
same length Of time as the sentencetof |
the Taylor lad.
The idea Of the indeterminate snn-
tence is that Youngsters who are in
corrigible may be held under the law |
until they have learned to become bet |
ter boys and that their freedom is |
matter entirely Of their own record as |
to good behavior.
W w Tindal. chief probation Off !
Ger for the Juvenile court, today issued |
an explanation of the case of Ollie |
Taylor, agreeing with what has been !
set forth. Mr. Tindan declared the |
boy is not being punished. He is in |

thorough investigation and for his ben

PORTO RICO GAINS

WASHINGTON. Dec. 20-Porto Rico's ex-
ternal commerce has increased about five
fold since 1901, according to the reports
of the Governor and other officials for

verse in 1901 by small amount, is now

The island in the last year imported
American merchandise at the rate of more
than 10000 for each working day.
Although sugar amounted to more than
half the total exports, or S26,6l9 los. more
interest alta ,hes TO the fact that Porto
Rican coffee has shown a proportionate-
" more rapid increase than sugar In the
last five years, the exports for 1918 being
ss5ll.316. an increase Of IS per cent over
the preceding year. Proof that the
foundation Of diversified agriculture has
been laid is found in the increase Of or
anges. pineapples, grapefruit and other
fruit from a total Of $1o9,so1 in 1901 to
s.. 81. 1862 in 1912 and g. l2o.9l9 last year.
II is stated that in 1898 there was but
one building in the Islands especially
erected for school purposes, the total en-
rolment in the public schools, was but
26, 600 and So per cent Of the entire popu-
lation was unable to read or write \

that the bill would not prove acceptable
