Dear Sir
l am very much pleased with
the civic spirit of kennewick in
the way it expresses itself in plant
ing trees along the streets and high
ways.
Nothing will give the city a more
attractive appearance aside from
fine buildings than does we'll shaded
streets and walks. The trees will
also help to keep the winds in check,
protect the orchards and gardens etc.
All the trees planted as far as have
noticed are good shade trees. The
poplars, however, while they grow
fast, do not live as long as the
naples, elms and other trees.
| would recommend that more
naples and elms also locust, be
planted in preference to poplars.
One thing must be done to save
the trees planted on the public stree 9
and that is, they must be given pre-.
lection against horses and the small
boy with the knife, by placing wire
fencing around them.
What good is it to plant a tree
and then have it crippled Or destroy
ed by the horse or small boy.
1t costs but little to place a little
wire chicken screen about a tree
md it will save the tree.

PARKINS SAY GIRLS
CHARGES ARE FALSE
Brand Anna BeImOnt's Story of
Lost Inheritance as Lack
ing Foundation

Vigorous denials on the part of
Bishop c. A. Parkin Of the Reorganized
Church of Latter Day Saints. and his
wife were sthe features OF yesterdays
investigation of the sensational story
told by Anna Belmont. otherwise known
as May Parkin. the IS year old girl who
alleged that the clergyman and his
wife had attempted to coerce her into
a marriage with H l. Smith, a man
who, she says. mistreated her. The
statements of the girl in regard to
money which she says was bequeathed
to her are characterized by the Parkins
as being absurd.
The story told by Anna Belmont in
so far as we are concerned is absolutely
untrue from start to finish. with the
exception of a few immaterial facts,
said c. A Parkin. bishop of the Reor-
ganized Church of Latter Day Saints.
Her wealth exists only in her own
imagination. She is an ungrateful and
wayward girl
Anna Belmont was brought to us
when she was 6 years of age by Mrs.
Mary Douglas OF Ukiah. The child had
lived with different families from the
time of her mothers death when she
was four years old. We took her and
raised her as our own child until March
of this year. when she left our home.
We knew Harry L. Smith, but met him
only after he had written me asking If
he could call on Anna at our home.
They became engaged to be married.
We never urged her TO marry him, al
though l advised her to. We did not
invest any money for her in the Alpha
chemical company, organized by Smith,
because she never had a dollar that we
knew of. What her relations have
been with Smith ] do not know"
Mrs. Parkin corroborated the state
ments of her husband, and went more
particularly into the life of the girl
while the latter lived with them.
This girls talk about money is abb
surd," she said. I'VE took her in as a
waif, and she has never had any legacy
of any kind Her father, as far as we
know, was a deserter from the Polish
or Russian army. and came to San
Francisco. He drove a hack here. from
what we have been able to learn. Her
grandmother, Mrs. Sylvia Higgins, lives
at Hayward.
I'VE had a great deal of trouble with
the girl since she was a child. She
was backward at school. and afterward.
when she went to work, gave us a
great deal of trouble. The first serious
escapade in which she was involved
that we know of dates back to Feb
ruary; 1908. when she stayed away over
night from the home of a friend with
whom we left her.
We never urged her to marry Smith
or attempted to coerce her"

RAILROAD COMMISSION
WITHOUT JURISDICTION
Can Not Reach Express Agent
Who Sells Dairy Products

Notwithstanding the provision of
the new Wright law which prohibits
discrimination on the part of the rail
roads or, express companies, the attor-
ney general. in decision handed
down yesterday, declares that the
state railroad commission has no jur-
isdiction in the matter of the COM
plant of the merchants and manu-
facturers traffic association of Sac
ramento, which alleged that the agent
of the Wells Fargo express company
was enga ging in competition with
local merchants on an unfair basis.
The attorney general holds that the
state statute does not appear to con-
tain any special provision under
which the practice complained of
might be classed as unlawful, nor are
the practices in question covered by
the provisions of the recent act pro-
hibiting discrimination.
The complaint. which was filed
week ago. alleged that the agents of
the Wells Fargo express company
were selling dairy and farm products
to nearly all the small dealers in the
towns of northern California and
Nevada.

FATE OF NFWBURGH
MAY Be TOLD TODAY
Case of the Accused Attorney
Goes to the Jury This
Afternoon
Counsel for the Defendant i'm His
Closing Argument Vilifies
Witness Blake

Final argument in the Newburgh
case in behalf of the state will be made
this morning by Assistant District At
torney James Hanley. The court will
instruct the jury and it is expected that
the fate of Adolph Newburgh will then
be in the hands of jury for the sec
ond time. Late yesterday afternoon
Bert Schlesinger argued for the de-
fense, relying mainly upon vilifica-
tion of Blake's character as proof of
Newburgh's innocence of the charge of
attempted jury bribing.
The prosecution contented itself in
showing the Inconsistencies of Muir
phys and Newburgh's testimony, for
District Attorney Langdon, in his open
ing argument, demonstrated how, be-
tween August IL and August IS, the
two Ruef attorneys, although in pos
session of the false affidavit made by
Blake, did not report the jury bribing
matter to the court
1T is not conceivable that Blake
would have gone back to Kelly after
Murphy and Newburgh had told him
that they were going to present the
reported bribery attempt to the court"
said Langdon. That would have been
folly not only on Blakes part, but on
the part of Murphy and Newburgh. To
a mathematical certainty the testimony
of NeWburgh and of Murphy is abso-
lutely untrue. Their defense is a cooked
up scheme, in which the inconsistencies
are as clear as the MONDAY sun"
In concluding, Langdon said: Gen
tlemen, you have in your keeping the
sanctity of the jury box; you have the
power to restore good government in
this community and you also will be
able to protect the rights of good citi-
zenship.'
In alluding to the bankrupt Calkins
newspaper syndicate,l in which Lang
don declared Bert Schlesinger was a
stock holder, the district attorney
dubbed it 1.-The Calkins skinned estate
