The wounded man came back ait him with a razor Both coats, cut and slashed, were shown to the bench by States Attorney Will Hams Both of the prisoners blows met the ribs of the victim, otherwise he would have been killed by either
 Mir. Williams asked the court to give the prisoner the limit of the law az 1t was really case of deliberate attempt at murder. No cause except that of the Black Hand" vaguely hinted at, was assigned for the at tack.
 After the affray both went home, and every effort was made to hush the matter up The accused was said to have been Black Handler" In Montreal, and to have been forced to leave there on account of a stabbing affair there. In Meriden in another stabhng affair doctor from Middle town was sent for and other influences used to protect Pierino.
 States Attorney Williams then quoted r. Marion Crawford while speaking of the states difficulty in getting evidence out of those connect ed with the stabblng. Crawford in reference to Italians of certain dls- tricts, said. They will give no infor- 1nation to the police, no matter how bad one is shot or stabbed If he Hes he will get his revenge. If he dies others will"
 Again States Attorney Williams asked for the maximum penalty of Ave years. Lawyer Strouse pleaded for a smaller sentence as tho boy was his parents sole support, and that the evidence was slight against him. Two

She barren mountains In which cess
tain Of these rivers rise-mountain
be 1t remembered, which formerly
supported dense forests of larches
and frs, now unable to produce any
wood and because of their condition
a source of danger to the whole coun-
try. The photographs also show the
same rivers after they have passed
through the pountisns, the beds hay-
Ing become broad and sandy because
Of the deforestation Of the mountains.
One Of the photogra phs shows cara
van passing through a valley. For
merly, when the mountains were for
ested, it was thickly peopled by pros
porous peasants. Now the foods have
carried destruction all over the land
and the valley is stony desert. An
other photograph shows a mountain
road covered with the stones and
rocks that are brought down in the
rainy season from the mountains
which have already been deforested
by human hands. Another shows
pebbly river bed in southern Man
churia where what was once great
stream has dried up owing to the de-
forestation in the mountains. Only
some scrub wood is left, which will
disappear within half century. Yet
another shows the effect Of one of the
washouts, destroying an arabic noun
tain side, these washouts being due to
the removal Of all vegetation, yet in
this photograph the foreground shows
that reforestation is still possibility
in places. @.- ;.
What has thus happened in northern
China, what has happened in central
Asia, in Palestine, in north Africa,
In parts Of the Mediterranean coun-
tries Of Europe, will surely happen in
our country If we do not exercise that
wise forethought which should be one
Of the chief marks Of any people call
ing itself civilized. Nothing should be
permitted to stand in the way Of the
preservation of the forests, and it is
criminal to permit individuals to pur-
chase a little gain for themselves
through the destruction Of forests
when this destruction is fatal to the
well being of the whole country in the
future. ~ grn VI.

TO no one excepting to these criminals
and it seriously hampers the govern
ment In the detection of crime and the
securing of Justice. Moreover, 1t not
only affects departments outside of
the treasury, but 1t tends to hamper
the secretary Of the treasury himself
in the effort to utilize the employees
Of his departm ent SO as to best meet
the requirements Of the public service.
1t forbids him from preventing frauds
upon the customs service, from inves-
tigating irregularities In branch mints
and assay offices, and has seriously
crippled him. 1t prevents the promo
ton Of employees In the secret service,
and this further discourages good ef-6
fort. In its present form the restric-
ton operates only to the advantage Of
the criminal, OF the wrongdoer.
The chief argument In favor Of the
provision was that the congressman
did not themselves wish to be investi-.
gated, by secret service men. Very
little Of such Investigation has been
done in the past, but 1t IS true that the
work Of the secret service agents was
partly responsible for the indictment
and conviction Of senator and a con-
gressman for land frauds in Oregon.
do not believe that 1t Is In the public
interest to protect criminals in any
branch Of the public service, and ex-s
actly as we have again and again dur
Ing tia past seven years prosecuted
and convicted such criminals who
were in the executive branch Of the
government SO In my belief we should
be given ample means to prosecute:
them 1t found in the legislative branch.
But IL this is not considered desirable
a special exception could be made in
the law prohibiting the. use Of the
secret service force In; investigating
members Of the congress. It would be
far better to do this than to do what
actually was done and strive to pre-
vent or at least to hamper effective ac-
ton against criminals by the executive
branch Of the government.

educational systems. The nation,
through its broader field OF activities.
Its wider opportunity for obtaining In
formation from all the states and from
foreign countries, is able to do that
which not even the richest states can
do and with the distinct additional adj
vantage that the information thus OBJ
tanned is used for the immediate ben-
eft of all our people.
6 With the limited means hitherto pro-
yided the bureau Of education has rem
dered efficient service, but the con-
gress has neglected to adequately sup
ply the bureau with means to meet
the educational growth OF the country.
The appropriations for the general
work Of the bureau, outside education
in Alaska, for the year 1909 are but
$S7 1900, an amount less than they
were ten years ago, and some Of the
important items in these appropria-
ttons are less than they were thirty
years ago. It is an inexcusable waste
of public money to appropriate an
amount which is so inadequate as to
make 1t impossible properly to do the
work authorized, and 1t is unfair to
the great educational interests Of the
country to deprive them Of the value
Of the results which can be obtained
by proper appropriat ations. N,
4 earnestly recommend that this un-
fortunate state Of affairs as regards the
national educational Office be remedied
by adequate appropriations. This rec
ommendation is urged by the repre-
sentatives Of our common schools and
great state universities and the leading
educators, who ali unite in requesting
favorable consideration and action by
the congress upon this subject.

appointments to the census force be

sus. The supervisors and enumerators
should not be appointed under the civil
