Convicted of stealing a fve-cent
bottle OF soft drink and given eleven
years in the Fulton County reforma-
tory as punishment. the supreme court
decided that Ollie Taylor. now thir.
teen years old. must serve out his
time.
Appeal was made to the court that
the time given the boy was out Of all
proportion to the offense. but the
court decided that while the nature
OF the offense should be considered
by the trial Judge the length Of the
term imposed would not invalidate the
sentence. Taylor has already served
three years. He will be twenty-one

that new export markets are not

1t was evident from some reports
that in some lines Of trade. readjust-

this should not greatly interfere with

Western Sugar
Refiners Win
Interstate Commerce Commission Ap.
proves New Rates On Sugar
From California

Washington, Aug. 26.-Far ives
tern sugar refiners won victory over
their competitors in New Orleans and
New York today when the interstate
commerce commission approved the
establishment of new rates on sugar
from California producing points to
Chicago and the territory east of the
Missouri river which. it is believed
will open these markets to the wes-
tern product.
1t was shown by western refiners
and carriers that seven western
states produced last year beet sugar
and refined Hawaiian cane sugar to-
falling $4,000 tons or enough to sup
ply 100000 persons, while the pop
ulation of those states Is but $685..
S21.
The new rate Is fixed ut rs cents
per hundred pounds higher than the
New Orleans rate to Chicago rate
territory and % cents higher than
the New Orleans rate to points east
Of the Missouri river. One effect, &C.
cording to the refiners' application,
will be to divert to San Francisco re-
finers much of the. Hawaiian sugar
now carried to New York by way Of
the Tehuantepec railroad.
The commission issued also h group
of, orders designed to correct interme-
date rates in territory west Of the
Missouri river In conformity with the
new through rate.
