OTHER STATES.

The Foreign Element.

Director Merriam this afternoon issued a
census bulletin giving the number of per-
sons of school age, males of militia age,
males of voting age and citizenship of for
eign-born males twenty-one years of age
and over I'm the states of Vermont, Vir-
ginia, Washington West Virginia Wiscon-
sin and Wyoming.
Virginia has 10i, I'll persons of school age,
of which 103,0i3 are native born. The total
white population is i3J.612. West Virginia
has 356,iI1 persons of school age, of which
5Ji3i5 are native born. The total white
population is 341 .G37. Vermont has 9S, S,614,
Washington 15S o45, Wisconsin 73O6s5 and
Wyoming ~ 800.
The number of males of voting age is
thus recorded: Vermont los, ,3J6 Virginia

Native-BOrn Element Large.
Persons of school age in Virginia and
West Virginia in 1900 are practically all of
native BIRTH" says the report, 'the foreign
born element of this class constituting in
the former state only two-tenths of l per
cent, and In the latter only six-tenths of
per cent of the whole number of such per-
sons. In Vermont. Washington, Wisconsin
and Wyoming. also, the native born ele-
nent Is by far the larger proportion of this
class, the foreign born element in these
states constituting only between q and I
per cent of the entire number.
Considering the males of voting age as a
whole in 1900. there is large proportion OF
1lilterates in Virginia, or 25.3 per cent which
Is accounted for almost wholly by the pres
ence among males of this class of a large

Attorneys For Jack Spear Raise
a Technical Question.
Claim That He Must Be Tried
in State Court.
CHARGE OF MURDER.
Held For Killing Indian Wife
and MOther-In-Law.
Question OF Jurisdiction to Be
Decided in Topeka.

United States Marshal w. e Sterne
was in Topeka Tuesday. He returned
to Leavenworth today The jury work
of the United States circuit court did
not begin until today.
Speaking of the case of Dennis Jack
son, alias Jack Spear. the Indian
charged with having murdered his wife
and mother-in-Ia On the POttawato-
mic reservation. Mr.. Sterne said.
THE court has expressed itself as de-
sirous of hearing extensive arguments
on the question of jurisdiction which
will be raised. The attorneys for the
Indian win maintain that the case
should be tried in the state courts, in
stead of the United States courts.
There seems to be a great deal Of ques-
ton in regard to the jurisdiction of
the United States court. The question
is whether the state authorities should
not have jurisdiction over civilized
tribes, where the land has been allotted,
even if the allottn ent has not been
taken advantage of. Judge Hook will
20 into this question very carefully.
1t is likely that Jackson's case viii
not come up for trial at Leavenworth,
in which case he will be tried in Topeka
next November, provided Judge Hook,
in deciding the question of jurisdiction
holds that the United States courts
have control of the case.
If jackson is tried in the state courts,
he viii escape the gallows; a fate which
seems certainly in store for him If he
is tried by the federal courts

ITS FUTURE is BRIGHT.

The Kansas City Southern is q road
now considered by many to have as
bright future before it as any in the
United States. From its very Inception
it was opposed by capitalists of this
country. and it became necessary. for
the protector of the line A E. Stilwell,
to enlist foreign capital in order that
the enterprise might be completed. Even
after that the matter of Gulf terminal
facilities proved a knotty problem and
was solved after the expenditure of a
vast sum for a ship canal. The road
finally went into the hands of a receiver
and for months business was handled
in a careless manner Finally the Har-
riman interests secured control, and
since then much interest has been at
tached to the road. Statements of earn
ings which have been issued are by no
means unsatisfactory. They give prom
sise of much prosperity and usefulness
to the system. For the nine months
$407, 176 greater than the corresponding
period in the previous year and net
earnings for the same time increased
1919, SOB.
The oil boom in the vicinity of Beau
mont, Texas, has undoubtedly had a
good effect on this roads earnings AMI
when the industry in that section en-
erges from its present embryonic stage,
and the companies are placed upon a
steadily producing basis, the fact that
the Kansas City Southern is the only
road providing an outlet from Beau
mont to Port Arthur will become of
great Importance, and the road may -
pect to benefit in direct proportion to
the prosperity in the oil district.

Islanders Say the Administration Has
Changed Its Mind.

New York, June 5.-A Herald dispatch
from Havana sys:
There is a strong impression here
that it will be impossible to effect the
acceptance of the Plat amendment a
second time. A secret session of the
constitutional convention has been
called for tomorrow to take action con-
corning the form of the resolution, ad-
ding to the Cuban constitution the Platt
proviso, with the understanding that it
means what the Washington commits
sion reported that Secretary Root said
it meant. The conservatives say that
the majority report OF the committee on
relations accepting the Platt amend
ment, including Secretary Roots in
terpretations was first submitted to
Secretary Root who found it satisfac-
tory but requested that the fun text OF
the amendment be incorporated. This.
they say. was done and Secretary Root
approved it
Several delegates attribute the atti-
tude Of the government to the decision
of the supreme court in the insular
cases, and suppose that the desire of the
Washington government is to exercise
a more direct power over Cuba than
the Plat amendment contemplates.

POORER THAN EVER.
Prospects For Settlement Of Strike
Dwindling in Frisco.

San Francisco, June 5.-The prospect
for settling the machinists' strike is
poorer. perhaps today than it has been
anv day since May 20. During the past
few days employers refuse to listen TO
terms. overtures, or even the mention
of arbitration, claiming to be absolute
ly powerless to do anything in the
premises, except to permit the strikers
to return to work under the same con-
ditions under which they had been
before the strike. In explaining the
attitude of the employers toward the
strikers, the bosses say that, in view Of
the forthcoming convention of the met
al trades association of America which
is to convene at New York June IL, it
would be folly for a small number of
employees on the Pacific coast to make
rates or terms without knowing what
the east is going to do about it.
