tanned language offensive to Catholics.
he had demonstrated unf1tness for the
bench, and that by disqualifying most
Of the American attorneys before his
bar he had exceeded his authority and
exercised tyrannical power.
With regard to the first charge, it
is alleged that Secretary Root has
found that Judge Wiley was lacking
in tact and discretion, but not to an
extent which would unfit him for the
place he holds, and with regard to the
latter the Secretary is said to have
found the course of the judge credit
able. The character of certain Amer
lean lawyers practising in Shanghai
has been severely criticized, and, while
Judge Whitley used a cudgeI to rid his
court of shysters, it is alleged that a
less strenuous jurist would soon have
been at the mercy of the worst ele-
ments in Shanghai.
One reform with which Judge Wiley
is credited is the clearing out of a
colony of dissolute women who claimed
the protection of the American flag.
This colony was notorious throughout
the East. He called each of these wo-
men into court and fined her $1,000, but
suspended the fine on condition that
she leave the colony. The result was
that many left the place. while many
others married citizens of other ma
any man not an American who would
consent to the contract. In this way
those who did not leave the city ac-
quired the right to protection by the
consuls of other nations, to the cha
grin of those officials and the restora-
ton of the good name of the American
colony.

RIVER POTATOES
MAY Be EXCLUDED
PathoIogist LewtOn-Brain Is
Making Scientific
Examination.

Potatoes grown in the river bottoms
of California may be excluded from
these Islands hereafter.
The entomologists of the Department
of Agriculture and Forestry have OBJ
served for some time that there is a
great difference between the potatoes
of California which are grown in the
sandy soils of the state, and those
which are grown in the heavy loans
of the river bottoms. The latter seem
to be affected with scabs and other
imperfections of the skin and surface
At the request of the entomologists,
Mr.. Lewton- Brain, the pathologist of
the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Expert
ment Station, has taken samples of
these river bottom potatoes, to make
a thorough examination to determine
the cause of these scabs and imper-
fections, whether they are due to a.
real disease of the potato are mer1y
the result of soil conditions.
1t is probable that, if it shall be
determined that the cause is a disease,
one capable of being spread to the
potatoes grown in these Islands. all
potatoes affected in this way will be
excluded. This will in effect be a COM
plete prohibition of what are known
as the river potatoes OF California.

altered climate for the worse, and reduced
crops in startling fashion.
Within quite recent Years Michigan was a
great forest State and the protective influence

bushels.
But State geo,ogists and foresters have
done much to bring about change in public
opinion. Clifford Pinchot, Chief Forester
Of the United States. has shown that the yield
of timber from burned tracts Is only one
third of what it would be if protected from FIRE.

UNUSUAL COURT PRECEDENT

Tn sne sentencing of George Lamar yesterday by Judge Thomas c. Jones in the Federal Court for sending an obscene letter through the United States mail, there were such surround ing cfrcumstances as to make the in- cident touching and pathetic. Judge Jones sentenced Lamar to thirteen months in the Federal prison at At 1anta-
 The defendant is from a prominent Montgomery County family. His father served with Judge Jones in the Con federate Army. So close was the friendship between the defendant s father and Judge Jones, that the lat ter. while he was Speaker of the House of Representatives, appointed George Lamar, then a boy, page in the House. Some years Nater the Alabama troops were twice called out with Judge Jones as Colonel of the 2nd Infantry in com mnnd- Tn each instance George Lamar was one of his soldiers who discharged his duty well.
 Because of these circumstances 1t was hoped by Lamar's friends and rela- tives that small sentence would be inflicted. Attorney Warren S. Reese made a plea for the prisoner recount ing these circumstances and he all lu6ed. too. to the honorable service of George Lamar as a member of the United States Army while in the Philippines.

Expense accounts of three more can didates of the primary of May IS were filed yesterday with the Secretary of State. These are Congressman George W. Taylor, of the First District, and Samuel w Johnston, Solicitor of the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit.
 The expenses of Congressman Taylor were Sl96.5O and the statement of Mir. Johnston totals $276.46.

 The statement of Mir. Johnston pre- sents a more varied account.
