SCHOOL CENSUS IS
INDEX TO GROWTH
Increase of Population of 10000
Indicated by Report of
Superintendent

According to a census report pre-
pared by Superintendent of Schools AL
fred Roncovieri, the city population In
April, based on the number of school
children between and II years living
therein at that time, was 365,OOO. The
census was taken pursuant to regu-
lation that compels the superintendent
to make a report yearly before July
l to the board of supervisors.
The report is significant in that 1t
shows gain in the number of CEN
sus children of 1O,329 over 1907. Multi
Piled by the ratio of Al; which ex-
listed in 1900 between the number of
school children and the general popu-
lation as determined by the federal
census, the school census increase of
1908 would show a gain in the entire
population Of the city of over 10000
for the year.
There were 1896 children listed. The
school census of 1907 was 1857, or
1929 less than the present year. In
the matter of children under years
OF age there was found to be de-
crease OF 4.492 this year from last year 8
census of 1858. There are 73 negro
children between s and II. an increase
of % over 1907, and 671 Mongolian
The number of all children under II, ir-
respective of nativity, is e6,792, an in
crease of 5,837 over 1907.
The enrolment in the schools shows
an increase of 2,067 over last years
1858, although there are still 10,036
fewer children enrolled IN the depart
ment than there were in 1906.
The average daily attendance was
33,9S1, an increase of 4,002 over 1907,
but 5000 below the average of 1906.
The school population has shifted
within the last year from district to
district. The North beach districts
show considerable increase. Where
the Mission street road and the coun-
ty road join, and In the district Of St
Marys college, there is also a large in
crease, as well as in the district
bounded by Market, Eighteenth and
Nineteenth, Guerrero and Harrison
streets; Twenty-sixth, Day, Mission and
castro streets; Army, Nineteenth and
Twenty-f1rst streets, and San Bruno
avenue and Harrison street
There was a marked decrease in the
districts bounded by the bay, Lom-
bard. Devisadero and Van Ness, and
Vallejo. Sacramento, Devisadero and

Tulare. In the deed the consideration
for the first piece was named as $500

BARTNETT GIVEN
A BRIEF RESPITE
Bank Wrecker's Frantic Plea
for Delay of Sentence Is
Granted by Court

For some reason, esoteric, clairYoyant
or mundane, Walter J. BARNETT, found
guilty Of embezzling the Cotton securi-
ties intrusted to his care as administra-
tor, pleaded frantically that he be not
sentenced yesterday. 1t was the date
set by Judge William Conley for the
passing Of the sentence, but at the cru
cial moment Bartnett turned to his at
torneys and Vehemently pleaded TO have
the fateful moment postponed. The
reason for the peculiar request he kept
TO himself Not even his lawyers We're
admitted into the secret, and his only
explanation was that he had legal
grounds for his wish.
Many were the rumors as 10 the
cause OF his act. One was that the
date was the anniversary Of his we'd
ding day; another. that the spirits"
had advised him Whatever ii was il
was sufficient TO make him greatly eX-
cited. His wish was granted and he
was given a continuance until 9:45
o'clock this morning.
While he did not hear the words send
ing him TO the penitentiary he at least
had TO listen 10 a review Of the crime
for which he was found guilty. Judge
Conley did not mince his words and at
the conclusion Bartnett sat pale and
weak his throat working convulsively.
Assuming" said Judge Conley that
the defendant deposited the securities
IN good faith II woufd not have been
guilty act; but the guilt comes in that
II was shown that he was the presiding
genius OF the bank and directed the
securities be disposed Of. There is but
one redeeming feature in his entire
case and that is the magnificent de-
Tense made By his attorneys"
Attorney Thomas Geary made q mo-
tion for q new trial and an arrest OF
judgment on grounds previously raised.
His particular point was that Bartnett
had received the securities from the
superior court Of Santa Cruz county and
had deposited them in the California
safe deposit and trust company under
its direction
Other cases against Bartnett and
those against J. Dalzell Brown James
Treadwell and J. Dalzell Robertson
were continued until today.

But If she is not his wife, although
the cur has lived with her and rec,

years. during which time he has IN
troduced her to his friends as his

for attempting to cast her off He
should be man enough to continue TO
share the double yoke of odium and
disgrace,
Now that the bloom has faded from
her cheek, the rich dog would turn
his back upon the girl who surren-
dered herself to his beastly bargain,
What could a second wife expect
from such a brute? What sort of a
"home" would it be with such man

wealth will obscure much of the
glaring disgrace of his acts in the
eyes of a lot of people.

\ WORLD-IANGUAGE.

The United States government, in
sending a representative to the fourth
international Esperanto congress to
be held next week in Dresden, has
officially recognized the new Ian
guage.
Esperanto seems to be taking hold
a little better than former made-to-
order languages, but it is difficult to
imagine its permanent success. 1t Is
well-advertised, but when it ceases to
be a novelty, it will cease to attract.
The Esperantists insist that their
language has taken firm root
throughout the world and will sue
ceed. In proof, they cite the 1853 Es-
peranto societies in existence, and
the 55 periodicals given over to the
movement.
But people with long memories re-
call Volapuk, which 20 years ago had
two and a half million students, 900
societies and 23 journals. great
many for those days; but Volapuk
vanished almost in a day after the In.
ternational congress of 1889 In Paris.
Discriminating linguists say that
Esperanto is easy to learn to read,
but extremely hard to learn to speak
on account of the frequent recurrence
Of difficult sounds
1t is by no means simple Ian
guage, although to attain simplicity
should be one of the main objects OF
an International language. Esperanto
will go the way Of dozens of other
world-languages.

THE FATE OF REFORM.

The municipal street cars in Cleve'
land have not paid for the first two
months, whereat there is great re-
joiclng throughout the house Of
Plunder, for these fool Cleveland
people hope to keep a Scent fare.
However. no big contract pays at the
start. The contractors of the north
bank road lost hundreds of thousands
at the start. Tom Johnson has lost
some skirmishes but no wars, and
this municipal street car sheme is his
fight. He will yet come out ahead OF

Hearst's entrance into the political
arena with his independence league.
remainds one of the hooray of a
bunch of clowns rushing pellmell in
to the main circus tent, during a
lull in the performance.
With raucus noises, nondescript
make-ups, limping, bandaged, scan
tily clad and wearing ogre patches,
this harlequin party enters the race
and for an instant all eyes are turn
ed upon it.
There in the Hearst array are the
long lady on stills, the darkey barber
with three-foot razor and bucket Of
lather, the donkey and its rider, the
"cat-pie" artist and his stomach
pump, the fake automobile blowing
UP in mock disaster while the grotes-
que chauffeur Is adjusting the ma
chine and all the rag tag and bob tail
tatterdemallan remnants of the
clown world, in seven-hued garments,
nl-fltting, inside out, patched, ripped,
discolored, all in one motley host!
And at the lead stalks the mock,
general. Hearst, carrying broken
sword, wearing a single spur and as
suming a Falstafflan air at the head
Of his nondescript army"
For an instant the rabble pauses
to laugh at the ogre herd, to listen
to the rumpus, think Of its humorous
makeup and recall the days of boy
hood when the spectacle was the
greater part of the show
But when the performance begins
and the real actors climb into the
trapeze for work, this motley clown
army is lost sight of and when it
disappears out Of the side opening,
nobody misses it and the great per.
formance goes merrily on.
Such will be the flamboyant process
sion of Hearst and his party"
through the circus performance of
American politics.

AN UNCOMMON SCRUB.

T. NJ. Stevens, a rich exporter of
Portland, reputed to be worth almost
half a million, is in a lot of trouble
with his wives. He has recently cast
off one wife to take another and IL
he gets his Just deserts from all the
facts in the case, he will conduct his
exporting business for a long term of
years from behind the bars Of the
state penitentiary.
Stevens was recently married in
Chehalis TO a Miss Monk. and this
wedding ceremony STIRRED up hor-
nets nest" in Portland, where his
first wife lives.
Stevens brother, attorneys and
friends, all declare that he was not
married to his first wife, but that he
simply 'lived" with her, introduced
her to society, recognized her and
treated her as a wife. She was a
near wife, only.
II this is the case, all the more
shame for Stevens. II he entered In
to such a disgraceful bargain with 4
young woman, and after firing Of her
seeks TO cast her off, he Is not a
common scrub, but an uncommon
one. II she was his wife she could

WHAT TO DO WITH NEAR BEER.

Since the alleged temperance drink.
near beer has proved to be an in>
toxicant and will cause serious harm
among the boys and young men be-
cause the boys have access to the
places where it is sold, the question
now arises: What are we to do with
near beer?
In Brownville the city council re-
fused to license it or to permit it to
be sold in the town on account of the
menace which its sale is to young
boys. In Enterprise. Wallowa coun-
ty, the city council imposed a license
of $4O0 per year upon its sale and in
other oregon towns its sale is causing
discussion and agitation.
Since prohibition has been in force
in Pendleton the near beer curse has
been demonstrated It is so near
beer that it will make an Indian
crazy drunk. Enough of it will make
even the toughest old soak" wabble.
\ couple of glasses of it will make
young boy act foolishly and it is
menace that must be fearlessly met
by the city council.
Because 1t is not regarded as an
intoxicant by the law, there is no re-
striction on its sale. Anybody with
the price can buy it. Boys have
learned from the former saloon men
that it will make them drunk and
many of them think it manly and
Smart to appear drunk from drink
ing it and so parents are urged to
consider its sale.
If young boys are debauched and
ruined by its use it is no less a curse
than the intoxicant of the saloon and
must be dealt with accordingly If
the brewers are making an intoxlcant
under the guise of a temperance
drink. they will be severely dealt
with by grand juries. And if the
former saloon men are selling 1t to
children to get even, as is declared,
then its sale must be stopped and its
manufacture be placed under the
ban.
The people have voted for prohi-
bition. They want no mOck-prohibi-
ton. They will have no semi-booze
no illusory beer, no make-believe
temperance. They want the real
thing in temperance and are going
to have 1t.

Russia a woman holds the position OF
university professor This is DR..
Douchakova, a graduate of Zurich
and an expert in pathology, She sue
cessfully defined a thesis before be-
ing admitted to the faculty of the

will greet her with an ovation at her

all the more extraordinary because
Moscow university admits no women
students.
