BETTER STATUS
FOR HAWAII is
URGED BY JUDD
Former Governor Declares
Islands Worst Treated
Children.
BY MAX STERN
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. May 1.-The ter
ritOry Of Hawaii. although one Of
Uncle Sans fairest and most indus
trious. is his worst-treated adopted
niece, according to former Gov.
Lawrence M. Judd.
Speaking today at the annual
meeting OF the United States Cham
Der Of Commerce, Mr.. Judd made ar
eloquent appeal for better treat
ment Of the tropical islands Of the
mid-Paciflc. Chiefly ne protested
against the exclusion Of Hawaii from
the sugar quotas last year.
Hawaii, he said, performs every
function of populous state. IN
1888 il carried on a trade with The
main. and Of more than S151OOC 900.
As a buyer from the states it led all
but six foreign countries, and ex-
ceeded ga countries in its purchases.
It contributes s150.000.0OO more 10
the Federal treasury than it gets
therefrom. It is better governed
than many states, ne said, and it
forms the nations greatest defense.
Hawaii thus is in every practical
sense of the word one Of the states,
EFr. Judd declared yet in treating
with its chief MISUNDERSTANDING
F{sderal government put it in a cate
g9ry with a foreign nation.

given a fixed allotment that was
actually larger than they have
raised in their best years. he said
The southern cane states were given

quota. but was left Ito the tender
mercy Of the Secretary of Agricul-
ture."
Had Hawaii received rightful rec
ignition as a domestic producer"
said Mr.. Judd, and the same treat
ment as other domestic producers in
1884, it would have marketed 2O9 900
tons Of sugar more than it was per-

longer. An hour has been clipped

strictions. At $50 ton, that's s12.-
$4,000.
Since every ton taken from Ha-
vail is ton for Cuba, the restric-
ton meant nothing but transfer
of Hawaii's heritage to Cuba's boun-
ty. Would this not be an appro-
pirate time, place and gathering to
ask why. if the United States wants
to indulge Cuba, it should not be
willing to assume the burden Of the
benefaction instead of unloading it
onto a particular section of the
United States?"
Mr.. Judd compared Hawaii's i'm
portance with Cubas to the States,
showing Hawaii as rating sixth in
trade and Cuba 10th. All of Hawaii's
lost $12,540, 900 sugar business would
have been spent in the United
States. while only half of that
amount when given Cuba found its
way back to the States, he said.
Is it any wonder" he exclaimed,
that the loyal American citizens
residing in Hawaii were stunned and
wounded by the legislative and ad-
ministrative determinations which
are so apparent?"
He suggested that the sugar law
be amended to treat Hawaii as a

"A certain irregularity. Nothing

Then there was a question from
Henry which she could not catch, but
afterwards, as the doctor seemed to be
fumbling in his mind for a reply, the
chemist remarked in an ordinary tone,

He shook hands perfunctorily. and
while Henry was helping Millie to
collect her things with a solicitude
quite unusual to him. the old man took
down a large and dusty book from
the shelves.
Just before they left he peered at
Henry over his spectacles.
'Those Tenders pills are a good
idea" he remarked in a tone quite
different from his professional rumble.
"Just the things. They contain small

Unfortunately for your mother.

said Henry Brownrigg.
Millie made no comment.
"Crupiner," continued Henry
Browning, may not be much good
as a general practitioner. but there is
one subject on which he-is a master.
l want him to see you. want you
to get we'll. old dear"
Miles gentle, expressionless face
flushed and her blue eyes looked moist
and foolish in the mirror. Henry could
see her reflection in the glass. and he
turned away. There were moments
when, by her obvious gratitude for a
kind word from him. Millie made him
feel certain distaste for his project.
"You know. Henry" said Mrs.
Brownrigg suddenly. Il don't feel i'll.

was doing nothing reprehensible -

. Plump. foolish Millie looked in the
mirror and nervously ran her fore
finger over her lips.
The chemist was heavily reassring.
Nothing to worry about. I'm sure,
but I think we'll 60 down and see
Crupiner this evening"" he said. and
added adroitly; I'VE want to be on the
safe side, don't we?"
"Yes, dear" Millie said.
When she had gone downstairs to
attend to breakfast. Henry Brownrigg
rose with his own last phrase still On
his lips. He repeated it thoushtfully.
The safe side" That was right. The
safe side. No chastity hash of it for
Henry Brownrigg. Only fools made
hash Of things. Only fools got caught.
This was almost too easy. Mile was
20 simple-minded. SO utterly unsus-
pecting.
BY the end Of the day Mr.. Brown
rigg was nervy. The boy Perry had
reported innocently enough that he
had seen young Hill in his new car
going down Acacia Road at something
over sixty. and had added casually
that he had had the Bell girl with him.

Brownrigg remember her? She was
rather pretty.

was in terror lest the boy had dis

fact and the sting remained.
Young Hill was handsome and a
bachelor. Phyllis was young and inn

The train thundered past.
Jim was just going to the police

window and saw his wife hobbling up
the garden path. He took a stairs at

She went past him into the dining

haps even kissing, and the heart which
could remain steady while Miles
stupid eyes met his anxiously as she
spoke of her illness turned over pain
fully in Henry Brownrigg's side at the
thought Of that embrace.
Hurry" The word formed itself
again in the back of his mind. Hurry
:. hurry"
Millie was breathless when they
arrived at Doctor Crupiner's. Henry
had been self-absorbed and had
walked very fast. Doctor Crupiner
saw them Immediately.
Henry explained his wife's symp-
toms to the doctor and Millie looked
surprised and gratified at the anxiety
he betrayed. Henry had evidently
noticed her weariness much more
often than she had supposed. When he
had finished his recital Of her small ills,
none of them alarming in themselves
but piling up in total to a rather
alarming sum of evidence. Doctor
Crupiner turned his eyes. which were
small and greasy. with red veins in
their whites. on to Millie. and his old
lips, which were mottled like Henry's
ledger. moved for a fraction of q Sec
ond before his voice came, wheexy and
sepulchral.
well. madam. he said. your hus-
band here seems worried about you.
Let's have a look at YOU"
Millie trembled. She was getting
breathless again from sheer appre-
hension. Once or twice lately it had
occurred to her that the Fender's pills
made her feel breathless, even while
they bucked her up in other ways. but
she had not liked to mention this to
Henry.
Doctor Crupiner came close to her.
breathing heavily through his nose in
an effort of concentration. He thrust
a stubby. unsteady finger in to her eye
socket. dragging down the skin, % he
could peer short-sightedly at her eye
ball. He thumped her half-heartedly
on the back and felt the palms of her
hands.
Mr.. Brownrigg. who watched all
this somewhat meaningless ritual. his
round eyes thoughtful and uneasy.
suddenly took the doctor to one side
and the two men had muttered con-
versation at the far end of the long
room. Millie could not help overhear-
ing some Of it, because Doctor Crup-
liner was deaf.

"Very sudden" And then, after a
pause, the awful word hereditary"
Miles trembling fit increased In
intensity and her broad. stupid face
looked frightened. They were talking
about her poor papa. He had died
very suddenly of heart disease. Her
own heart jumped painfully. So that
was Why Henry seemed so anxious.
Doctor Crupiner came back to her.
She had to undo her dress and Doctor
Crupiner listened to her heart with an
ancient stethoscope. Millie, already
trembling. began to breathe with diff
ficulty as her alarm became un-
bearable.
At last the old man finished with
her. He stared at her unwinkingly
for some seconds and finally turned to
Henry. and together they went back
to the far end of the room. Millie
strained her ears and heard the old

line. He sat on the landing with his
mouth open. He could hear her
splashing in the bathroom. and pres
emily she began to sing. Her bath took
long time. 1t was forty minutes
before she came out again. looking
very fresh and pink and pleased with
herself.
This time he started upon q fresh
tack. He took her, not unllindly, by
both elbows and looked pleadingiy
into her eyes.
Polly! You must tell me. Really
you must"
Il shan't. Jim. Really I shan't."
ITS monstrous!'
"Why7 I've done nothing wrong"
Looking into her eyes. he saw this
was true.
Then Why won't you tell me?'
Because you wouldn't under
stand"
This, too. he was forced to believe.
There was something very strange
about her this morning. some atmo-
sphere Of another world in which he
played no part. He did not know what
to make of it all.
1T 1T wasn't because you were
annoyed with me?' he ventured.
Annoyed with you? Why?'
She was frankly puzzled.
Because I've been out 90 often
lately?"
Her expression changed. 1t was
startled. little sad, and then amused.
'Oh no no it had nothing to
do with you at all"
And this was a third queer thing
that he had to believe. About Polly,
too. whom he had thought he under
stood only too well. He gave it up.
AT least promise you won't ever do
it again."
Polly shook her head.
Il can't promise but don't think
it's very likely"
And she laughed to herself, thinking
of their being lost and the things that
bit in the gypsies' hut.
why are you laughing. you little
wretch?'
He squeezed her elbow tighter, and
she squeaked. ''Ow! Take care! I've
got bruise there"
so you have. Good Lord, what
have you been doing to yomself7''

when the telephone started ringing

when I thought I'd 60 with you. I
