King, made application for a new
trial, presenting af6davits by A. D.
Harrison and Nels Peterson that one
Of the jurors in the case had made
remarks shc wing he was prejudiced
The juror admitted the remark, which
was that the prisoner had stolen q
pair OF mittens, but said when he saw
Neal in the court loom, he was con-
WINGED that Neal was not the man he
suspected. The court after some con-
side ration denied the application.
Judge Searle, in passing sentence.
told Neal he thought the conviction
was justified, and that he thought the
prisoner had committed perjury. He
spoke Of Meals former sentence to
state prison and said the prisoner g
life in recent years was q history of
crime. The maximum penalty was
ten years, bat being naturally dis
posed to be lenient, he would make it
SIX years, which by good condnct
could be reduced about fourth.
When Neal was about to be SEN

forward, and nearly foil down. sheriff

SAVE WATER POWER
Must Preserve Forests in
Order to Save the
Powers

we are just beginning to reallZe
the very great value to us of our
water powers, says the Electrical
Review. Until electrical transmis-
ston OF power demonstrated it's ap-
pllcabillty. water powers were at
disadvantage as compared with the
steam engine, and but few of those
which had been harnessed were kept
ct work. To-Day We realize more
fully the value of these sources of
power, and We are already develop
ing these most favorably situated.
vast sums OF money are be ing spent
in this way in order to obtain the
cheap power which results. &
Eut there are certain problems con-
0ected with this qutsti n which ars
not under control Of indlviduils. The
continued destruction Of the forests
throughout the country has not only
changed the character Of tho how of

cause of many disastrous f9oods. A

these reasons it 10 of great impor-

powers that We should start by pre-
serving the forests where the streams

two birds with one stone. for We will
not only protect the water power, but
insure the country aRainpt foods.
The problem of preserving forests Is
an exceedingly difficult one. It can
only be undertaken by the states or
the federal governm ent, and since in
many cases the problem is really an
extrastate one, it is often desirable
that the federal government should
take the proper steps. There are two
districts in which legisl stion of this
kind is urQeltly needed-the New
England states and the South Atlantic
states The work can not he under

A work related to this is that of
surveying the water powers of the
country in order to determine the

SPEAKS OF IMMIGRATION.
Judge Thomas Addresses Won
M1satOu s0Caety.

Miss1On society.
The woman's Home Mission Society
Of the Perry Street Methodist Church
yesterday afternoon heard an able ad.
dress from Judge w. H. Thomas. The
| address was delivered by Judge Thom-
as in the Church on Perry Street.
A large portion Of the membership
of the Society was present to hear the
Instructive and Interesting address.
hmm Migration is a subject to which
judge Thomas has given thought and
| careful research. Tho study OF the
question he pointed out. was especial
| ly pertinent to the South. which just
now was the center of new tmmt-
grafton movement In recent months
| hundreds ~ immigrants had been
| landed at Savannah, New Orleans ana
other ports. The pressing need Of the
South for labor had been an impetus
to immigration that was already bear.
ing fruit
Judge Thomas dwelt particularly
upon Chinese and Italian immigrants.
the immigrants who were most likely
| to furnish the needed labor. The
grants, he described as well as their
disposition to live together and pre-
serve the habits and customs of their
people.
The >anger in immigration which
demanded consideration, said Judge
Thomas, was the hesitancy with which
new people adopted American ideas.
and which threatened the un-Ameri-
-anlzation OF the American people sur
rounding them.
Al the conclusion OF the address
Judge Thomas was heartily thanked
for the society by Mrs. Z. g. Adams.
the President.
