Greatest Ever.

Col. Richard p. Marks, assistant United

district of Florida. passed through the city
en- route to Florida from Pittsburg yester-
day and gave some interesting views to a
reporter for The Star in a conversation in
the Raleigh Hotel lobby last night about
the wonderful development of the city of
Jacksonville since the disastrous fire OF five
years ago. which practically swept the town
away and left standing only few substan-
tial structures. ---rts.
The rise of Jacksonville from the gloom
and desperation entaiied by the confiagra-
ton which visited the city five years ago
is marvellous, not to say astounding" said
he. Seldom has a city shown more enter
prise and pluck than was shown Immediate
ly following that fire. The city was bonded
and wealthy citizens whose fortunes were
not wiped away made personal sacrifices

modern, one of the cieanest and best-gov-

REGARDED AS CALAMIToUs.
Scientist Opposes Destruction Of For
ests on Potomac Watershed.

A Washington scientist who has made a
study of the upper Potomac region recent
ly gave 1t as his opinion that to denude the
watershed of the Potomac of trees, or to
seriously change the evenness of its runoff
by even partial reduction of its forest
cover, would be q calamity which Wash
ington, dependent as 1t Is on the Potomac
for its water supply. would feel in the
health and comfort of its homes. Just
now. especially, when typhoid fever has
drawn more than usual attention to the
relations of health to water supply in this
city, the future of the Potomac watershed
appears matter of vital interest.
A study of the forest conditions along
time ago by the forest service in CO.

this study has been completed in Mineral,

Nearly two-thir1s of the area of these
counties is wooded. Merchantable timber,
however Is present only in small amounts
In the dimensions suited for lumber Tan

the region. is secured in quantities suffi-
cient to supply three large tanneries.
It is satisfactory to learn from the re-
ports of the study that, with adequate
protection from fire and more careful cut
ting, there Is every reason to count on a
permanent supply of forest products in
the region fully squal to the present out

CONTEST GROWS WARM
BUSHEL OF LETTERS TO PRESI-
DENT ON POLICE JUDGESHIP.

Judge Anson 8. Taylor denies that he has
withdrawn from the contest for the va
cancy on the Police Court bench While he
Is not taking an active part personally IN
the matter, his friends say he Is very much
in evidence. as some extra strong indorse-
ments in his behalf have been sent to Oys-
ter Bay. The same can be said of Judge
Lewis /. O'Neal, who also had occasion
to deny that his name had been withdrawn
from the list OF eilsibles for the Police
Court judgeship.
A letter written to the President yester-
day in behalf of one of the latest candi-
dates. Judge James Edmond Pennebaker.
late Of West Virginia, is said to contain a
statement to the effect that there are many
colored people In the District OF Columbia,
and a majority Of those accused of crime
In tire police courts are OF that race.
Judge Pennebaker," 1t Is stated in the
letter, was raised with those people. In
the old days his father owned a. number OF
them, and was old Virginia gentleman
The kind feeling that existed between the
master and the servant Is well known to
Judge Pennebaker-or rather the coioreo
and white persons on the same plantatioh-
This Kindness was such 1t amounted al
most to kinship and affection. and engen-
dered mutual confidence in the highest de-
gree
The writer, who is lawyer of standing,
adds that he therefore knows That these
people will receive at the hands of such
man as Judge Pennebaker a fair and Inn
partial trial. and while he will always be
sufficiently stern, his Judgment. if appoint
ed. will be tempered with good sense and
mercy.
Another letter. said to have been written
by q civil war veteran in behalf of Judge
Lewis |. ONeal. says he Is "a man OF
the world, a student of human nature and
possesses the rare gift Of discriminating
between the novice and the criminal. the
victim of the disease of alcoholism In need
of sympathy and medical treatment and
the rum-soaked degenerate. and that he is
entirely without fanatical bias.
Still another letter sent to the President
head of a local organization describes him
pered with mercy. as Judge Miller did,. -.
He is also described as "a rising young
member of the District bar, who is both
progressive and able"
The petition to the President favoring the
appointment of Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci James l.. Pugh is said to award him
all the attributes necessary for model
judge of the Police Court
