the Laws BpeeJal to Pres Washington January In re fusing today the application for the pardon of 8 Harlan convicted of violation of the peonage law apd sentenced to pay a fine of 95000 add be Imprisoned for 18 months Pres ident Taft expressed hls belief thfit fines are not sufficient punishment fork wealthy men and that impris onment is necessary where violation of a criminal statute is proved lan is manager of a great lumber and turpentine company doing bus iness in lorida and Alabama The president decision says in part: is a man of great enter prise and of good business reputa tion and has invoked and secured the sympathy and assistance of all who favor the industrial develop ment of the country in the neighbor hood of his activities in the south as well as of many prominent citi zens of Iowa where he was born and lived for a large part of hls life They have intervened with much earnestness in his behalf A this has led me to examine the case with great Prevented Escape by orce The president reviews the evi dence in the case which shows that company got 180 laborers in New York the most of them im migrants and brougnt them south to lorida and Alabama On the way south a number attempted to escape and were physically detained and brought to the place of workV1 says the presi dent specific and detailed in cases of attempted escape of such laborers showing their pursuit capture terrorism by display of re volvers and in one or more instances actual Rudolph Lannlnge was one of the men who attempted to escape and it was the treatment meted out to him that formed the basis of the indictment and conviction of Harlan The presidenusays that in reading the case his conviction has been Harlan was prtvy to the whole peonage plamMrt' Taft adds: a vi government of' the United States has been at great pains and cost to suppress peonage It 1s much1 more likely to be maintained successfully where as in those cases the laborers are foreigners and do not speak English and hard ly know their rights It is a kind of offense that is regarded lightly in some communities If permitted to live at all it will spread rapidly its demoralizing influence Must Set An Example i therefore a man of high business standing and large enter priser is convicted of the offense the punishment should be such a to deter others from the practice ines are not effective against men of wealth Imprisonment is neces sary I am well aware ot the grievous character of confinement In jail to a man of Mr Harlan's stand ing and I should be glad to yield to the urgent appeals of his many friends but I cannot do so be lieve him to be guilty ot the rhuse ot which ha has been convicted To retain andrenforce tho imprison ment part of the sentence will op erate powerfully to prevent a re currence ot such offenses by men of large affairs and business stand ing relieve such a one from tnc penalty of imprisonment when prop erly convicted and sentenced would be to break down the authority of the law with those of power and influence and would tempt on their part further breaches What is worse it would give real ground for the contention often heard that it la only the poor criminals
