 Judge Jenkins and Others Enter
 Denlals Through Their Attorneys
 MILWAUKEE. Wis, July 25.-[Asso- ciated Press. l-The directors of the Plankinton bank, with the exception of Judge James G. Jenkins and F. w. Moves, appeared in the municipal court thie morning, and by their legal repre- sentatives entered plea of not guilty of the crimes charged, with the privil- ege of withdrawing the same AS they may be advised. They are accused of feloniously receiving deposits and em. bezzlement.
 ''I appear for MT. Moves" said W. c. Williams. "He is not able to be in court. He is barely able to sit up, and has been down to deaths door. His physician says he must not come, but he declares If it necessary he will risk it. On his behalf desire to enter a plea of not guilty, with the privilege of withdrawing it."
 The same plea was entered by Gen. eral Winckler on behalf of William Plankinton; by Henry J. Hillilea, for Messrs Clason and Momsen, and by Mir. Hickok by Mir, Elliot.
 "And Judge Jenkins?" remarked Judge Wallber.
 II will enter the same plea for Judge Jenkins," Interposed General Winckler, not as his counsel, but as his friend. think l am justified in doing this."

 According to some facts and figures presented by Henry Gannett in recent issue Tn the New York Sun there is to-day nearly if not quite as great an area of woodland in the United States as when the white man set foot on our shore. There are not so many square miles of mer- chantable timber now as then, but the territory occupied by growing trees Is about as extensive as it was four hundred years ago, and these trees will in time grow to size suitable for the production of lumber. Some Of Mir. Gannett's statements are quite incon- sistent with the general belief that American forests are giving out. He says, for instance, that only about two hundred and seventy thousand square miles, or less than one-tenth the area of the country, is artifcially cleared land, while to offset this loss there has in recent years been great extension of wooded land in the prairie states as well as in some of the natural tree growing states. A table is published showing the total area and the wooded area of each state, the fig ures having been obtained from reports of the cen sus and agricultural departments, from official surveys and in few cases from careful estimates. As grand result it is shown that the wooded area in the United States, excluding Alaska, is nearly one million one hundred and thirteen thousand square miles.

Marshal Blankenship lost deputy sheriff's badge night before last. He is anxious to recover it and the finder will be iberally rewarded. The bad ke is of silver and bears the inscription Deputy Sheriff of Maricopa County" Its greatest value to the marshal lies in the fact that he has owned it for the past fifteen years, having been deputy under every sheriff during that time.

is an oft-told story, and for all we can
ascertain from the published charges,
there is not on the face of them warrant
for their vitality. We do not believe that
the men assailed practiced any fraud
upon the people, or that there was any
outrage committed in selecting the site,
or agreeing on the price, and we reach
our verdict upon the statements of the
plaintiffs in the case, not upon the denials
of the testimony of those charged. In
short, there has not been made case,
nor are the charges preferred sufficiently
definite TO justify an official investiga-
tion. Before any inquiry Of the charac-
ter suggested ought to be put on foot
there should be made charges of some
specific character, not mere drag-net gem
eralities and fishing suspicious that are so
often promoted by jealousy, political spite
and chagriu.

California what it is, and as the atmos-

GOES AGAINST HIS GRAIN.
Judge Johnson's Views on the Natu-
raIizatiOn of Foreigners.
Those Who Cannot Read Nor Write
Should be Barred Out-No
Excuse, He Says.

Jose Mochodo Teicheira, a native of
Portugal, was admitted to citizenship by
Superior Judge Johnson yesterday on
the testimony of Manuel and John Con-
tente.
Judge johnson hesitated for some time
before signing the applicants papers, be-
cause Teicheira could not read nor write.
The Judge finally admitted him, but de-
clared that that was the last man who
would get by him who could not read nor
write.
II have just about made up my mind"
said the Judge afterward to a RECORD
UNION representative, that these people
who do not care enough about the lam
guage Of our country to learn to read and
write it should not be permitted to enjoy
the rights of citizenship. 1t went against
my grain to naturalize that man just
now, and l don't think Pll admit an
other like him. Now, he has, as he says
himself, been in this country since he
was II years OF age, yet in all the time
that has elapsed since then he has not
seen fit to learn to read or write a sylla-
bic OF our language. l tell you /
don't think such people should be
| eligible. OF course, l must admit
tnat there are people who are
born right here in our country who can't
read nor write, and they are citizens by
birth. But they ought not to be citizens
according to my way of thinking. There
is no excuse for such people in this en-
| lightened period. There was time, of
course, when our school system was not
so tar-reaching, and many people could
not enjoy the advantages of an education
yet L dare say there are very few of
/ those people who did not educate them
! selves in reading and writing. But now
| adays it is different. There is no excuse
for anybody not knowing how to read
and write.''
The Judge then told of funny incl
/ dent connected with the naturalization of
an Italian that took place in his court
room shortly after he went on the bench.
/ 1t appeared that the applicant, among
other things, was asked if he knew who
the Chief Executive of tho United States
was, and now he attained Office. "Oh
yes" replied the Italian, you hava da
king, guess" The Judge told him he
would have to know a little more about
the country before he could be natural
| lied, and sent him away. The next day
the Italian was back again, and the
Judge inquired if he had found out who
was the High Muck-a Muck of this Gov
ernment. "Oh, yes" was the quick re-
ply, "she is da President, an she get elect
evera four year" The Judge told him
he'd have to come back with another
guess.

THE NEWS FROM HAWAII.

The stories coming from Hawaii are
very conflicting. One is that the Pro-
visional Government is on its last legs,
and that it cannot endure, and has no
support outside of Honolulu; that the
Queen win soon be restored to her throne
and that all annexation propositions will
be Withdrawn.
Another is that the Provisional Gov
ernment maintains itself easily; that only
a few Hawaiians are active in opposition
to it; that it has forwarded the draft of
new treaty TO Washington and that Min
lister Blount will report favorably to its
acceptance.
According to purported synopsis of
this treaty, the islands are ceded to the
United States, which is to assume the
State debt, but the local Government is
10 pay the interest thereon. That the
United States shall name a Commissioner
with absolute veto power over all local
legislation for five years, except he is
overruled by the President of the United
States; that all crown lands shall be
ceded to the United States, as also all
public buildings and posts, and military
and naval equipment. That Chinese i'm
migration shall be prohibited, and emf
grafton of Chinese from Hawaii to the
United States likewise.
So far, the treaty would appear to not
materially differ from the original propo-
sitions made by the Provisional Govern
ment, and would seem to be generally
fair enough. OF course if the United States
annexes Hawaii it would assume her
debt-she could not we'll take the island
kingdom and deny that obligation. The
question will be whether the consid-
Grafton is sufficient. So far as the power
of the Provisional Government to treat is
concerned, it must be conceded, for it has
maintained itself a reasonable time with
out infringing unduly upon the liberties
of the people. 1t has preserved the peace,
protected life and property, enforced the
laws and has been just and humane. Nc
more than this is required by interna-
tional law and custom.
1t is probable that the Hawaiian ques-
ton will now be speedily settled. 1t has
certainly reached a stage when the
United States Government must say tc
the proffers of the Provisional Govern
ment, once for all, YES" or mo"

THERE is such thing as this constant
pushing of sex complaint to the front by
women who wish 20 break down the bar
rier between business and the home be-
coming nauseating. Against whom are
these complaints preferred?-the male
sex, of course. That presupposes, there
fore, oppression and injustice by it, But
is there any truth in that? Is it not true
that men are all the time more concerned
for the welfare of the female sex than for
their own? Suppose men should go about
shouting about mems work, demanding
its special recognition as opposed to the
work of women? Suppose we had at the
fair "Men's Buildings" mems exhibits
of art and handiwork as distinguished
from woman's and in special comparison
with it? Suppose men were forever cry
ing aloud about the ''rights" of their sex,
its special claims for recognition and ap-
plause, and all that? What would we
expect to result? Why, embittered ri
valry, the absence of love and respect
and mere business contention instead OF
loving sex-companionship.

The Bank Commission has examined
the banks in Sacramento and finds them
in healthful condition, and that in all
respects this community is better off
financially than almost any other in the
State. There have been no foreclosures,
interest is paid up, confidence has been
unshaken, and the falling off in deposits
has been less than in any other banking
community. In short, the commission
goes on to congratulate the people of this
city warmly on their good financial condi-
ton in the midst of hard times through
out the land. All of which is very graft
flying to local pride.

But, as Usual, He Keeps Ahead of His
PurSUerS.
Now it is the Tehama officers that are
camping on outlaw Fredericks' trail. and
hot one it is said to be. But the hotter
the trail, the less chance there seems to
be Of catching the fugitive, for there are
few men who want to risk their lives by
getting within range of his big pistol.
According to the latest story about
Fredericks, as told in the Red Bluff
papers, the officers have arrested man
for completely in various thefts in that
vicinity. He was travelling in a cart and
armed with rifle.
This man, who gives his name as John
Smith, stated to the Constable that Fred
ericks was with him, and that Fredericks S
hid in the brush 100 yards from where
the Constable made the arrest. Freder-
icks was armed only with pistol, having
no gun.
Smith stated positively that Fredericks
was with him when Jones' house, two
and half miles east Of Nina, was
burglarized. They We're together before
and since. and that all the depredatiOns
attributed to Fredericks in other parts of
the State were the work of other parties.
Fredericks, so he says, has no gun. Nor
has he had any for some time.

THE impression has obtained that in
the Southern States the factory labor is
that of the blacks. A correspondent of
the New York Evening Post writes that
this is error. Outside of the tobacco
factories the black man or woman is an
exception in the Southern factory. In
the cotton factories the employees are ex-
clusively whites, and the great majority
are natives of the South. The South Is
rapidly becoming a foremost manutactur-
ing region of the world. The labor there
appears to be especially quick to take
hold of new ideas, and every effort to
produce better goods meets with success
up to the point when a desired high
standard is attained. There is every
reason to believe that before very long
the highest skilled labor of the nation
will be the white labor of the South,
native to the soil, the sons and daughters
of the mechanics OF the South.
