Judge Suspends Sentence IN sta
tutory Case and Gives Rea-
sons For SO Boing
ORION wednesday Adv@tiser.)

In suspending sentence for thirteen
months upon Franch Oldham and viii
liam Bradbrook, who pleaded guilty
yesterday TO statutory charges founi
upon indictments. brought against them
by the torritorial grand jury recently,
Jndge Ashford took occasion to refer
In no uncertain manner 10 the eondi5
tioRs that, II appeared to HIM existed
i'm connection with tho case.
Oldham and Bradbrook, enlisted men
from Fort shaftet, are both youths,
one eighteen and one nineteen years
old. The gifIs connected with the
prosecution a ,khe Defendants ARE both
Under fifteen WARS, nut wise in inquit2
beyond their Years. 1he Judge pointed
out that the fatlier Of one Of the girls
and the uncle of the other, who nap
pens to be Representative u. M. Kupi.
hea, was fully aware that the young
men we're going with his daughter and
niece; that Knpihea, in fact, had given
the men the Key TO the cottage where
NE girls hspRened to be,
Parents to Blame
The iurist pointed out further that
the men werc made at home in KuPi.
hea 3 house; that he furnished t'.eni
Win liquor or allowed them to ofing
liquor with them, that everybody was
welcome 10 good time; that there
was no question but that temptation
was thrown IN the way of the splaiei
boys and that they fell, but their Sis
inns were no angels themselves, and, il
common talk were 10 be credited, were
members Of agang Of unfortunate girl
running about loose and practically cast
adrift among uheayory and iinwhvle
some environments by fathers and Tsla
tives, who gave no Thought to thu
morals Of their daughters and other 70
male connections.
Considering AL this, Judge Ashford
felt that il woald not be Justice to sent
TO prison for even minimum of thpe,
years two young men on this, their fIrsI
offense. They not alone were guilty
In sending them to prison, those WI,
shared in their guilt would go lnpun
ished. lie would suspend sentence, but
eautioned the dclinquents that SHOULD
they again appear before him, chargel
with any offense and be found guilty
OF that, il would go hard with them
Sentence was then suspended for thir
teen months on each of the young men
Particular emphasis was laid by, III,
5arist on tho view that might be talter
BY some that this was case of racia
discfimination That itNwas not, b,
IlpoiHted out III Nnhistaltable terms Tn,
men were Of age, considering the diff
ference In race, barely greater than th'
women with whom they had associated
and with whom they had broken tn,

countries was $lo5.Ooo.Ooo, or $4,000,
900 less than in 1912, when an unusual

with an increase in quantity, brought

An increasing share of the coffee

Hawaii and Porto Rico. Last year 2,
T93,052 pounds Of coffee arrived from
Porto Rico, compared with 2,42i
pounds in 1894; and 3 ;50l ops pounds
were from Hawaii, against 10s,26f
pounds in 1894, The superior qnRlits
Of the coffee grown on the American
territories In question Is suggested by
! the fact that it commanded better pr
fees than that imported from foreigl
countries, Porto Riean having averaged
1874 cents per pound and Hawaiian eof
fee l4.8 cents, while that from foreigi
countries averaged only l0.4 cents pc

Washington. Dec. 27.-Unofficial in

General Carranza will try to run the
defacto government in Mexico with

federal bank, but funds obtained for
this purpose would not be available

much toward restoring the country's

Although Mexico is practically bank

to believe that with a policy of econ

JOHN BULL TAKES
No NAVY CHANCES
Britain Has Laid Down and
Finished More Naval TONNAGE
Since War Began Than
Uncle Sam Owns.

London, Dec. 25.-While British
newspapers are not permitted to COM
ment on the operations of the navy,
and the general public knows practi-
cally nothing about the of
the fleet and it's growth since the out
break of the war. a few facts in con-
nection with the fleet have become
known to a small circle. These may be
summarized as follows:
Admiral Jellicoe is virtually dictator
of the navy and the entire organiza-
tivities are shrouded in mystery, but
he navy is satisfied that when the
test ZONES he will be prepared to
obliterate the German fleet.
Every available yard in the British
island is working right around the
clock in turning out ships at an un-
p~recedented rate. Great Britain has
laid down or completed more vessels
since the war began han the entire
tonnage in the American navy. This
means that within a year the British
navy will be about 300 per cent strong
er thar Americas. unless Germany de-
strOyS a section of the fleet.
The navy is satisfied hat the SUBJ
marine issue has been solved, as far
as offensive operations are concerned.
Hundreds OF small craft have virtually
driven the German submarines from
the vicinity of England, while a net
of steel. with aeroplanes operating
overhead. has established a permanent
lane across the channel. SO that traffic
between France and England is carried
on without interruption.
The admiralty has enough small yes
sells to handle the submarines and It
now is bending all of it's efforts to the
construction of dreadnaughts and bat
tie cruisers.
The dreadnaughts are being con-
structed along ines that are virtually
Identical with the plans prepared for
the latest American vessels Of the first
line. The battle cruisers. with slight
deviations. are built on the lines OF
the Queen Elizabeth, which has beer
nelles.
