Agreat deal has been printed about
the naturalization frauds. Much Of
1t has been twisted by 9 partisan
press to insinuate that the Demo
cratic organization has much to do
with the preparation Of frauds in the
Court Of Appeals. Vague hints have
been made that leaders OF the party
had knowledge of the frauds and fur
nished the means and men to carry
them out.
Those familiar with the situation
know that, with the exception oitwo
men-Morrow and Barrett-those
concerned In the frauds were not
known politically outside Of their
own neighborhoods. The only two
men who have been convicted are nat
uralised aliens, whoee chief aim seems

Nathan Levin, formerly q Republi.
can henchman and who received bis
schooling In naturalization work
from the old zlegsnheim machine, and
who was rewarded by a job from the
Republican city administration, see-
Ing the decline Of the ziegenheim ele-
ment, reformed" himself into an
alleged Democrat. He organized
Hebrew Jefferson Club In 90 called
Little Jerusalem" He besieged
Democratic leaders for money with
which to pay hall rent. He was so
persistent that he finally secured $50
or this purpose, and was then left to
shift for himself.

where, In five hours session OF the
Court OF Appeals in 1900, 500 per-
sons were naturalized. In 1902, 211

Washington Star on Folks Visit


Washington Oct. 10.-The Even
ing Star says this evening:
~. w. Folk OF St. Louis, who came
10 Washington at the Presidents in
vitation TO discuss the question OF
charging the scope OF extradition
treaties, has left for home much en-
souraged by his conferences with
officials here, and Of opinion that
soon there will not be a country on
the globe where a boodler can find
safe Judgment
Let us hope that this may be true.
Certain it is that whatever is attempt
ed by this government to that end
will be supported by the strongest
public sentiment. The country is
aroused as never before on the SUI
iect. The CRATER Is no respecter Of
parties, Offices or localities. Now be
u a democrat and now republican.
Whether in federal Office, state Office,
county Office or city office, he lines
luis jacket whenever opportunity pre-.
sents itself. And in nearly every
state the news in the past few years
has told OF his successful operations.
1t is time to get a line on him long
enough to reach wherever he may
wy to hide after exposure has made
home too hot for him.
The Tweed ring is still the Stand
ard OF comparison in the matter OF a
graft. And yet Tweed and his cro-
MES were amateurs when judged by
later performers, and their stealings
appear small when later figures are
examined. Their real distinction
now lies in having helped themselves
as literally as possiblein very bold
ashton.
Their tracks were poorly covered
aud when the raid on them began
the principal quality requisite for
their undoing was courage. Fortu
n1tely for the city, that quality
characterized the men and the news
papers that made the fight against
the ring and therobbers were routed.
As the country has grown and
psospered temptations for weak men
10 Office have increased. Boodling
has become elmost an art. Men in
executive Office are tempted and fall.
Legislators In small and great as
semblies are approached and sell
/, their votes. Lobbying is disguised
under many names, but under any
OF them Is usually foul. The tempters
snd the tempted are many in number
and the business goes on, with guilty
eyes peeled for the frontier, where
IN case Of discovery, criminals fee
and hope for protection.
Mr.. Folks experience in Missouri
must have given him q clear insight
into the methods Of the boodler, and !
his suggestions TO the president in !
the public interests were doubtless
valuable. There ought not TO be q

AGAINST HACK STAND.
Protest by Property Holders on Con-
necticut Avenue and M Street.

The District Commissioners today re-
ceived petition signed by twenty property
holders in the vicinity Of Connecticut ave-
nue. and NJ street northwest protesting
against the maintenance of the hack stand
on M street during the construction of the
apartment house at M street, Connecticut
avenue and 18th street northwest. The pc
tition states that NJ street is now barricaded
to the extent of one-third It's width, max
ing the space too narrow for the accom-
mediation of the hacks and at the same time
give room enough for the passage of We
hicles along the street.
AS consequence of the congested condi-
lions on NJ street the petition states, the
hackmen will use 18th street. which Is also
barricaded on account of the construction
of the apartment house. The petitioners
state further that they feel that those de-
string the retention of the stand on M
street and Connecticut avenue are for the
most part far enough away not to be an
noyed and near enough for it to be con-
venience, in case of use. or are those IN
business, not residing in the neighborhood,
and that a number are protestants against
a hack stand on De Sales street.
The petition has been noted.

s!oner West, through 1t treasurer, Z. Il.

stated that the company has permits from
the states of New York, New Jersey and
PENNSYLVANIA, and that only in these stat
has the company endeavored to do any
business.
In the letter to Commissioner West it

PRIVATE HALEY's BRAVERY.

Gen. Elliott commandant of the Marine

medal be awarded to Private M. NJ. Haley
of the Marine Corps for bravery in risking
his life to save from drowning George Dem

STORAGE OF GASOLINE.
Judge Kimball's Ruling Invalidates
Sections of District Regulations,

Judge KimbalbJ in the District branch
of the Police Court, has rendered
decision which Hinvalidates sections 2
and of the police regulations bearing
on the storage Of gasoline and other in
dammable fluids within the limits of the
District of Columbia. The case on trial
was that of Frederick de B. Weston, who
conducts an automobile livery stable at
1919 l. street northwest, who was charg-
ed with violating that section of the po-
lice regulations regarding the storage of
gasoline and other tnfiammable fluids.
The gasoline was kept at the stable for
the purpose of reillihg the tanks of the
motor vehicles IT was stated, that per-
NIT had been refused to store gasoline on
the premises. Attorney William s. Du-
vail for the defendant, moved that the
information be Guashed, for the reason
that sections Nos. and of article of
the police regulations were unwarranted,
illegal and void, in that by the same the
grant or refusal of such permits were
left within the discretion or the chief en-
gineer of the fire department and the
building inspector.
The courts attention was called by the
attorney for the defense to an opinion by
Mr. Justice Shepard of the Court of APP
peals who recently decided that the Com
missioners were without authority in law to
redelegate discretionary power vested
solely in them to a subordinate officer. Fol-
lowing the recital of that decision, Judge
Kimball maintained that he was bound by
the Court of Appeals. whose decision was
exactly In accordance with the case under
discussion. The court thereupon granted
the motion to quash by Attorney Duvall
and dismissed the case.

INTIMACY NOT RENEWED
The Presidents Relations With Bar.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, March 21.--Wiliam E. Curtis
in a Washington special to the Record
Herald this morning, says: Whatever may
have been expected, President Roosevelt
has not renewed his intimacy with Baron
Sternberg, the new German minister. any
more than with Sir Michael Herbert, the
ambassador of Great Britain. When he
was civil service commissioner and after
ward assistant secretary of the navy, the
relations of those gentlemen were very
close. They saw each other almost daily,
and nearly every Sunday went off for an
excursion into the country together. His
former intimacy with the president is sup
posed to have been the reason Of Sir Mi
chael Herbert's promotion from secretary
of embassy at Paris to the head of the
British embassy at Washington. and. not
withstanding all the gossip concerning the
recall of DR.. Won 5Iolleben, the real reason
for Sternberg's appointment as minister
of Germany was the kaiser's anxiety to
have man in Washington who could get
as near to Roosevelt as the new British
ambassador. e.
