Senator Charges President With Aiding
Conspirators In Panama.

! MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. Sem
ator John T. Morgan, in a letter to the
Journal, scores the president for the
position he has taken in reference to
the Panama cana ., re senator says:
The annexation of Panama is pro-
vided for. as a necessary result IN the
Hay-Varilla II aaty, and that fact will
lead to war with Colombia. 1t may
slunber a wn.Ie under the tnodynes
we will admin;rter Reyes from the
treasury of the United States.
Continuing, the senator said:
Il will not, either from fear or in the
hope Of favors or advantages to come
vote to sustain a policy that all men
know to be unlawful. and that is what
all southern men will do when they
vote the Hay-Varilla treaty
THE president deliberately refused
to obey the requirements Of the spoon
or law. Not only so, but with waiting
fleets he stood by from September %
until November 3, waiting for the blow
prepared by seven cOnsplratOrs, tnat
would forever make it Impossible LOT
Colombia to make any canal conces-
sions in the department of Panama.
I do not wish to voice the Indignation
of all right thinking people at TINS
strange and frantic usurpation, nor
do l wish to criticise the south.
The senator adds:
TT il. a national scandal that would
disgrace Turkey"

ALEX. FERGUSON, 116 YEARS OLD.
Has Always Smoked, Taken Whiskey
and Voted Democratic Ticket.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. ALEX
ander Ferguson, living eight miles east
of Alexandria, has just completed his
one hundred and sixteenth year and is
a pretty smart boy yet according
to the statement Of his wife, who is
90.
Ferguson was born in County Clare,
Ireland, and does not look to be over
80 years old. Two weeks ago he drove
to Muncie, ten miles from his home, an
did not show any fatigue on his return
home.
He has always been a democrat, and
ever since he can remember has taken
his toddy three times a day and has
used tobacco since early boyhood. He
attributes his long life and exemption
from disease to his democracy and
his constant use of liquor.
Ferguson comes of a long-lived fam
lily and shows a record in Bible
where his sister, Bette Carleton, died
at the age Of 112 years and brother
at the age Of lis.

parentIy labors under the remarkable
impression that the men on the dog
catcher's wagon are in constant danger
Of violence and he sees something like
justification in Scherfs action. At first
he berated his murderous deputy for
not standing his ground instead OF run
ming away, because he was shooting
in the line Of duty and in defense Of
his life.
1t is believed that the revolver which
Scherf used is his property, notwith-
standing his denials-
ITO show you how much we do"
said one of the deputy poundmen yes
terday, and how much danger we are
in all the time, we catch and kill every
month an average Of 400 dogs. But
Scherf went too far when he pulled a
gun. He was in no danger. 1t was
murder"
Murphy and Weintraut, the deputies
who were with Scherf Wednesday.
went out on the wagon yesterday, but
they were nervous and caught no dogs.
The Coroner's inquest on the body
of Rudolph Schultze will be held Sat
urday morning. The funeral will take
place Sunday at 1 o'clock. The SER
vice will be conducted by the Masonic
fraternity and the interment will be
in Mt Olivet cemetery. August and
Albert Schultze, brothers Of the de-
ceased, are in Alaska and are expected
to return here next month.

Sam Francisco Forging Ahead.

1t is surprising to see the daring ven
lures that some of our business men Of
this city undertake. Where the people
come from to fill up the large hotels and
apartment houses lately constructed is
a mystery to the average mind. Now
comes the Darbee & Immel Oyster
Company. with its new Oyster
seating capacity of 500, fitted up even
grander than anything yet attempted in
this city In fact, no other city in the
Union can boast of having place its
equal where oysters exclusively are
served 1t is to be hoped that there are
sufficient lovers Of oysters here to make
such a place profitable. few other
places intend to open up within the next
few months. one under the Flood build
ing and one on Mason street IT will
then be the survival of the fttest. with
each place doing its utmost to please
its DatronS.

be the stock in trade of nearly all the
Chinese men and women who appear
on habess- corpus proceedings before
United States Commissioner Hcacock
seeking admission 10 this country as
native Americans. No sooner is one
trick exposed than another is devised.
The latest is known as the Bones
Book" In many cases applicants for
admission set forth that their parents
are dead and that at least one Of them
died in this State. Some time ago
Commissioner Heacock, knowing that
the bones Of all deceased Cinnamon
are shipped 10 China for final inter
rnent. sent for the records Of one OF
the companies and found that the
bones Of the applicants father had
been shipped from this port. thus cor
roborsting the applicants story.
But the trick was sprung last
Wednesday. The Bones Book con-
tanned the record as stated by the ap-
plicsnt. but the name OF the decedent
had been scratched out and the name
Of the applicants father had been in
serted in its stead. The paper being
soft. the scrstclner had almost made a
hole in il, and there was difference
IN the color Of the inks. The applicant
viii be deported.
Yesterday in another case the name
OF the Chinese village in which the
mother was alleged TO have lived had
been erased and the name Of another
village substituted.
In order TO make a comparison the
secretary Of the Ng Yung Benevolent
Association was subpenaed TO appear
and produce certain records Of the So
ciety. but he informed the person who
served the subpoena that his time was
worth 500 and that he would not go
10 court unless that sum were paid
him. A bench warrant was issued for
him

COMES HERE IN THE
INTEREST OF FORESTRY
William c. Hodge Has Some Valuable
Suggestions for Protection of
Timber Areas.

William c. Hodge, an expert of the
United States Bureau of Forestry. re-
Gently arrived at the Occidental Hotel
! from Washington, D. C. Mr.. Hodge
is in charge of the cooperative for
estry Investigations being carried on
by State and the Federal Government
and will remain in this city for some
time.
These Investigations. which have
been under way for about a year, are
along various lines, all tending toward
practical ends in respect to the better
protection and management of the
State forests.
The most important lines Of work
now being carried on are a study of
the silvicultural forest conditions and
lumber market by w. F. Hubbard, and
forest fires, their causes and effects,
and recommendation for their con-
troll, by E. A. Sterling. The forests of
the State are also being mapped; for
est areas are being examined with a
view to their withdrawal for forest
reserves; numbering methods are be-
ing investigated, and the more import
ant commercial trees are to be stud
led as to their distribution, rate Of
growth and reproduction under var1-
Gus conditions.
In order to put the work on a prac-
teal basis plans for fire protection
and for long continued forest man
agement are being applied on private
lumber tracts. The results of these
experiments will be published for the
/ benefit Of lumbermen throughout the
State.
Mr.. Hodge says that he considers
these practical forest experiments and
the preparation Of laws relating to
forest fires and the general manage
ment of the State forests the most i'm
portant part OF the cooperative in
vestigation.

BREAKS UP A HOME.

He has been living with Mrs. Kate
Parsons at IL Holiday avenue. The
history of his connection with this
woman is another leaf in the story of
Scherf's miserable life In her girl
hood she was pretty Katie Wilson, the
belle of Butchertown, the lady love of
the vacQueros of South San Francisco.
Her father was the we'll known cattle
man, Charles Wilson-now dead-but
his name in Ireland, where he was a
member Of a prominent family, was
Charles O'Dougherty. On account of
political trouble in the old country he
dropped his real name. His wife was
one of the Spanish Alviso family.
Alfred W. Parsons, the husband Of
Katie CD. Wilson, befriended Gustav
Scherf in many ways-picked him up
out of the alleys of Butchertown, where
he was wandering. having lost his en-
ployment through drink, and took him
to his house. Then Scherf ruined his
benefactor's home. Parsons first
learned of his wife's downfall on re-
turning from his work one evening
almost year ago. He was attacked
by Scherf with an iron bar. Mrs. Par
sons assisted Scherf and the husband
was Vanqu1Sne0.
Scherfs mother lives in a cabin-like
structure at AZ Winslow street, near
the top of Bernal Heights.
Il cried all last night" said this sad
German woman, land my two sons
came home and cried too. 1 cried not
