PLEAD FOR REDWOOD TREES
Children of Humboldt County, Cali
fOrnia, Petition Government to
Buy Forests Back.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-An unique
petition has Just been received here by the
forest service from nearly 1.4c0 California
school children, who ask for the establish
ment of a Redwood National park. This
petition, which is from the children of the
schools of Eureka, Humboldt county Cal,
is unlike any other ever sent to a govern
ment department to ask for the preserva-
tion of forests. In the petition the chill
dren say:
1--WE, the children of Eureka schools,
have been studying about our redwood
forests and, along with the rest Of the
people of our country, we feel that rep
resentative groves of these trees should be
preservd for Ourselves and coming genera
tions of children, and we respectfully petit
ton the United States government to take
some action toward establishing a national
forest of redwoods."
There is little, If any, redwood left suit
able for a national park that has not fallen
into private hands. The acquisition of any
such areas, therefore, would have to be
brought about through purchase or through
private donation. If it is found necessary
to purchase the land for the park, congress
sional action will be required.

He made a complimentary reference to the

enjoys an intimate acquaintance and said
of him: HE reads the farewell address in

CRIMINALS STAY IN COUNTRY
Police Commissioner bingham of New
York Severely Criticises .Immt-
gration Omcials.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-That New York is
a dumping ground for the criminals OF
Europe and that the immigration authori-
ties are to blame for this fact is the opin-
ion OF Police Commissioner Bingham, ex-
pressed in an interview.
We have had records OF fifty Italian
criminals said Commissioner Bingham,
which would exclude from this country,
or once here should bring about their de-
portation. Out of these fifty only six have
been deported, Notwithstanding the fact
that the police have been ready to furnish
the immigration department at all times
with information to keep out and send out
OF the country these habitual criminals.
About year ago we learned there was
In New York an Italian who had been an
habitual criminal in Europe We had his
record and he. was the most undesirable
sort OF citizen. He had killed a negro
in highway robbery: had served several
terms in prison, one OF six years for rob
berry, and in every way had demonstrated
his habitual viclousness.
The police made search for this man
and learned where he was living on De-
cember 3, 1907, we heard there was a war
rant for his arrest at the instance of the
United States Department of Commerce
anu baDor' lie was arrested, admitted his
Identity to the police and further admitted
that he had served at least one term in an
European prison. lie was sent to Ellis
island and turned over to the proper Off
GERS there. We believed him to have been
deported, until recently when we found
that he was still in New York.
Lawrence o. Murray, assistant commits
sioner of the Department of Commerce and
Labor has informed us that the Italian
denied his identity. This man, capable OF
any crime, was released without the police
being even notified and without us getting
an opportunity to prove that he was fit
subject for deportation. This instance is
only one of many that might be cited"
immigration Commissioner Watchorn was
in Washington last night and none of his
subordinates would discuss the charges
made by Commissioner Bingham.

cOurscs ON His Life and Deeds.

cOurscs His Life and Deeds.
ITHACA, N. ", Feb. q. Realizing that
no right minded American can answer back
in terms Of bitterness to the president
Abraham Lincoln never permitted himself
in the exercise of the great prerogative to
be harsh or severe" said Colonel Clark E.
Carr of Illinois, former American minister
to Denmark, in an address today before
the students Of Cornell University.
"A general of the army, an admiral of
the navy, the humblest recruit in the SER
vice, or even a United States senator could
without giving offense, enter his presence
erect and frankly present his views. He
never quarreled with a political adversary
He was so just to all those with whom he
had a controversy and to those who he
called to account, that they respected him
and instead of being enemies, became his
friends. He never relegated them to an
'Ananias class"
Colonl Carr was the principal speaker at
the Washington birthday celebration at
the university, but he took as a subject
the life of the great emancipator instead of
the father of his country. He described
Mr.. Lincoln as at once the droIlest and
most serious man he ever knew and told
of his devotion to the party for which he
worked.
He did not for moment believe that
honest party service disqualified a man
for public office" said Colonel Carr. HE
had not one drop of mugwump blood in
his veins. When he entered the great Of
flee Of president, instead of being jealous
of them, he placed every rival candidate
for the nomination in his cabinet He
found upon accession, every Official posi-
tion held by a democrat. When the term
upon which he entered ended every civil
office was held by a republican.
president Lincoln never placed a man
in position merely because he was per-
sonal favorite. He called to the command
of all the armies a man he had never
seen. With the most consummate tact and
wisdom. Mr.. Lincoln formed and availed
himself OF the transcendent abilities OF the
ablest cabinet that ever surrounded presi-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-It was stated
with positiveness at the State department
today that no official reports o. protests
from any source have been received re-
garding Japan's commercial aggressive
ness in Manchuria, and from the nature
of the situation none is expected. It also
is asserted that the American government
has no intention Of addressing Japan or
any of the other powers on the subject
either at this time or when the battleship
fleet reaches its destination.
In this connection it is explained that
the open door" policy in the orient while
initiated by this government, is rather the
announcement of principle to guide our
own course rather than a doctrine to be
arbitrarily applied and enforced in the
orient.

SCANDAL OF CoNeER SALE
Congress Likely TO Investigate the
Recent Sale of Chinese
Curios.
rFrom q SAD CorresnondentN

WASHINGTON, Feb q. 90 Especially -
Within the next two or three days a reso-
luton will be introduced in the house OF
representatives calling upon the secretary
Of state for information concerning
scandal that promises to be wide-reaching.
There has recently been advertised and
sold In New York a great collection of Chi
nese antiques and curios. This collection
comprises in plain English. the loot of the
palace OF the empress dowager of China
The scandal comes from the fact that It is
the property OF the widow of a former min
lister to the flowery kingdom who, II Is
alleged, purchased from American, English
and Japanese soldiers the articles which
had been stolen from the palace of the
empress. Some OF the articles thus offered
for sale are of priceless value. The whole
collection represents the treasures gathered
by the Chineses dynasties for centuries. No
money could ever pay for the looting of the
palace. No gold could ever reimburse the
Chinese empress for the loss which the
curios, heirlooms and other treasures en-
braced within the sale referred to. The
whole affair constitutes the most disgrace
full chapter in the annals of American his
tory
An occasional, especially favored visitor to
charred timbers of the capitol Of the United
States burned by the British during the
war of 1912. Impassioned orators tell from
time to time of the vandalism OF the British
soldiers when they wantonly attempted to
destroy that capitol But the war of 1872
was fought in the days when the finer in
stincts of the Anglo-Saxon race were dull.
The looting of the palace of all the en-
perors of China took place within the pres
ent decade. The American representative
at the court of the emperor was morally
bound to protect the personal rights Of the
Chinese ruler just as religiously as he was
bound to protect the interests of American
citizens in China.
No one charges that the husband of the
widow who is being benefited by the sale
was personally responsible for the vandalism
and the robbery. But the American minis
ter purchased stolen goods knowing them
to be stolen and congress proposes to find
out how it happened that he was permitted
to bring those stolen goods into the United
States free of duty and how 1t is that his
widow is permitted to offer them at public
auction without having first paid the tariff
which would have been assessed upon them
if they had been brought in by a private
citizen.
The whole subject is a blot upon the
diplomatic history Of the United States and
in this instance those who are taking the
initial step have determined to forget the
motto, DE mortui nil nls bonum."
