A Masonic Charm Just Sent
to Judge SeIden B.
Kingsbury'

Judge 5. B. Kingsbury is the proud
est man in town. 1t is not because he
is supposed to be in line for appoint
ment to the Circuit bench, but because

souvenir is in the shape of a Masonic
badge or charm and he wears it on his
watch chain. 1t is a plain silver
masonic square with a small diamond
set in the angle of the square. 1t was
presented by General Lafayette to Ma
ior William Alexander Williams, the
Worthy Master of Washington Lodge,
Alexandria, Virginia, which entertain
ed General Lafayette during that

yette is a part of the archives of Wash
ington Lodge, but Photographic copy

H. E.-PICKER RUNS
INTO MORE PILIKIA

SAN FRANCISCO, December 20.-H.
E. Picker, at one time commodore of
the Hawaii Yacht Club of Honolulu,
and general agent of a life insurance
company for the States of Washington,
Montana and Idaho, is wanted by the
police on a warrant issued by Police
Judge COnland charging that he de
frauded an automobile driver.
The complaint was signed by AL G..
Faulkner, proprietor of the st. Francis
garage at Bush and Polk streets. Faux
ner alleges that Picker owes him bill
for auto hire amounting to $500, which
was incurred during the last visit made
to this city by Picker in February.
Faulkner said yesterday that he was
about to institute criminal proceedings
against Picker before he left town in
February but did not get an opportunity.
Faulkner said that Picker went then to
London where he has prominent and
wealthy friends and relatives and ar
rived in this city Thursday via Mexico
en- route to Honolulu, where he is in
terested in big lumber deal.
Faulkner said that Picker was to
leave today for Honolulu on the steam
er Alameda.
Picker stopped at both the Fairmont
and St. Francis hotels during his stay
here last winter and acquired a repu-
tation as lavish entertainer.

WILL OPEN THE CANAL
ON FIRST DAY OF 1o1 {

Observation-Disclosures the date
when the Panama canal will be opened
has been fixed for January l, 1915, ac,
cording to a letter received by the Cal
ifornia Promotion Committee pursuant
to the request for "a statement of the
situation made to Colonel George w.
Goethals, chairman and chief engineer
of the isthmian canal commission.
Joseph Bucklin Bishop, secretary of the
commission, writes:
"The date of canal completion will
depend on the length of time required
in building the Gatun dam and the
locks at Gatun, Pedro Miguel and Mira
flores. The chief engineer fixes as the
date when the canal will be opened to
traffic January, 1915. That is the date
fixed by those members of the inter
national board of consulting engineers
who recommended the lock canal which
is now under construction. No other
date has ever been promised by the
canal commission.
From time to time rumors are cir
culated to the effect that the four da-
tions of the Gatun dam and locks are
unsatisfactory. Those foundations are
known by means of borings and test
pits to be entirely satisfactory. De-
velopments since construction began
have confirmed fully the accuracy of
the preliminary investigations. /"

RECLAMATION OF
LAND FOR FORTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., December u.
The Chief Engineer of the Army has
made a supplementary estimate for the
reclamation of lands needed for the
site of the proposed fort and coast de-
fenses of Hawaii. The site selected
is on low ground, the level of which
must be raised to accommodate the
necessary buildings and Notifications.
The proposed work of dredging Pearl
Harbor, it is stated, will give an OPP
portunity to obtain material for filing
in the lands to be used for fortifca-
tions and it is estimated that 1852, 900
will be required for completing the
work. The Secretary of the Treasury
has recommended that this amount be
appropriated for the purpose stated.

Still Wants Her Child.

Mercedes Briggs yesterday fled her
answer to the petition of Flora Harvey
in which the latter asks to be permitted
to adopt a child whom she has cared
for for several years, and which goes
by her name, but is the daughter of
Mercedes Briggs. In her answer the
mother says she never knowingly de-
serted her child, that she has eontribu-
ted to its support all the time that she
has known of its whereabouts, that she
is able and anxious to care for it. The
petition for adoption was fled some
time ago but time was given to the
mother in which to communicate with
her mother in San Francisco, who she
alleged was anxious to adopt the child
and was of abundant means to do it..
However, nothing is said about this in
the answer that was fled yesterday.

THE GERMAN VOTE.

The Washington Star, a thoroughly
Independent newspaper, does not be-
heve that Mr. Bryan will receive the
solid German-American vote. The Star
OF Saturday says:
The following appears in a Lincoln
dispatch published in this morning 5
newspapers;
MIR. Bryan secured much gratihca-
ton over tn. hours consultation he had
al FairyieW today with Herman Ridder,
OF New York, and head of the Democra-
tic Germap-American bureau. Mr..
Ridder told Bryan that the German
Am rican vote, which has never been
for Bryan, IS being swung to him as a
unit this wear on the tariff issue.
This Is plainly campaign eXagger-
alton. Mr. Ridder, we may all be sure,
never save Mr.. Bryan any such assur-
ance. He is man of influence, and the
paper of which he is the editor, the
New York Stats Zeitung, printed in
the German language, is supporting
Mr.. Bryan zealously. 1t is in fact Mr..
Bryan's sole New York city reliance so
far as the press is concerned, the
Worlds support being eccentric, and
qualified with a hundred ifs, butts and
ands.
But Mr.. Ridder would not assume to
speak for the German-American vote.
That, he we'll knows, is not swung, or
swingable, as unit by anybod. to any
body on any issue. 1t is a thinking
vote, ard as a rule shows on election
day the courage of its thoughts. This
has sometimes been disputed but never
successfully. Men reputed to carry the
GermanAmerican vote in their vest
pockets have never delivered it as
per. Candidates giving heed to
such claims have always been disap-
pointed
Why should the German-American
vote go as unit to Mr.. Bryan on the
tariff issue? The majority of voters of
German birth or descent are not free
traders, but protectionists Past cleo
tions when the tariff was an issue de-
termined that. States where such
voters were numerous ranged them
selves in the Republican column. The
German American, so-called-on politi-
cal issues he thinks and acts solely as
an Americans in many cases a pros
porous business man, and issues like
the tariff and sound money appeal to
him on his practical side Talk to him
about free trade or a ffty-cent dollar
and ne shakes his head at once and
vigorously. He wants none of either.
Tariff revision is a certainty. The
German-American knows that as well
as the next man. With him as with
the next man, the only question relate.

Mr.. TAFTS APPEAL TO The
SOLID SOUTH.

The sOGdity of the South is about the
only political relic we have still with us
Of the war between the States. There
are social problems, indeed, and most
serious; but they are the relics of the
institution of slavery, primarily; not of
the war The Democratic South alone
recalls the Schism OF the sixties.
Judge Taft is right when he appeals
to the south to END this condition.
There is no longer excuse for it. Time
was when it was fondIy hoped that
the glorious response of the Southern
States to the call of the Spanish War
would end the old sectional feeling, but
thus far it has not done so to the extent
Of changing the poHtica1'compleIion of
any of the States.
There is nothing in present political
and economic issues to justify the soil
darity Of the South. The South is not
solidly opposed to protection; its marvel
Gus industrial development rather has
inclined it more and more TO protection.
1t stands with the North for the new
moral issues in affairs; for more effec-
tive control of great industrial forces;
for such division of government burdens
between the State and Federal govern
ments as will make possible effective
administration within the Constitution.
The South ought not to continue a
Democratic Gibraltar. Its own inter-
est demands that it assume a different
and more liberal attitude. Its economic
questions aside from that of races
are the same as those of the rest of the
country.
Certainly the last decade should have
assured the South that the North SYM
pathizes with it in its race problem.
Certainly it should be convinced that the
day is past when there is danger Of a
Republican Congress imposing negro
domination" on the South by process Of
force bills or legislation to reduce South
ern representation. True, in the last
session of Congress idiotic cUunsels pre-
vailed with few partisan bigots and
induced them to lug in this ancient
threat; but nothing came of it, and moth
ing ever will. If this is what the South
fears, can it not realize that it would be
safer if 1t We're divided between the two
parties on other CupStionS hIt a luravs

Mr.. BRYAN'S SCHEME FOR MAX
ING The FARMERS PROSPEROUS

Mr.. Bryan talked to the farmers Of
Nebraska on Friday, and the press re-
ports say that he made a great hit.
The feature of his address was his
advice to farmers to 90 to Congress.
Could anything be more like Mr.. Brv-
an? Ii his advice means anything. it
means that if enough farmers could get
into Congress to affect Legislation they
could legislate themselves rich. That
Is the old Bryan theory. 1t is the free
silver business over again. Legislation,
legislation, and then more legis lation.
as panacea for all ills.
The Government is now doing some
thing for the farmers. 1t tells the rail-
roads that they shall not charge him
more than certain price for trans
porting his products. L tells the beef
and pork packers that they shall not
combine in order to force down the
price Of what the farmers sells. 1t
