GREENE SAW
THE NEEO OF
STATE CHECK

Former County Auditor F. p.
Greene, the original Trainer and
prime mover for the adoption of the
state accountancy law, feels that
his position in asking the enact
ment of this legislation is now
fully Justified, in view of the de.
velopments at Olympia. Mr.. Greene
says that the strongest opposition
to the uniform accountancy bill
came from j. III. Schively, Samuel
II. Nichols, e w. Ross and others
now in the thick of the scandals at
the state capital.
The uniform accountancy law be-
comes effective June IL, and the
first officers to receive attention in
the way OF the Introduction of cor
rect methods of accounting will be
the state offices and the accounts
of the state board of control.
Some of the enemies of the bill
were willing to accetp 1t at the out
set II the state officers and the
board of control were omitted ana
the operation OF the fill confined to
the county Offices. but no compro-
mise of this kind would be toler-
ated by the friends of the measure,
who felt that the state officials
needed the attention of the law
fully as much or more than the
county officials.
F. p. Green's work in behalf of a
uniform pima of accounting for pub
lie funds will be fully appreciated
at this time, when the need of bet
ter methods in handling public
monies are needed.

countersigned by the governor.
81 greatly regret that / can not be-
with you at your third annual con-
gress at Pittsburg, from May 10 to
IA of this year, but I write tu ex-
press my most sincere sympathy
In the work which your association
is doing.
Il do not know anything which
will contribute more to the
strength and morality Of that gen
Grafton of boys and girls compelled
to remain part of urban popula-
tons in this country than the in
stitution in their cities of play-
grounds where their hours Of LET'S
ure can be occupied by rational
and healthful exercise. The ad-
vantage is two fold:
In the first place, idleness and
confinement in narrow space IN
the city, in houses and cellars and
unventilated, dark rooms Is certain
to suggest and bring about perni-
cious occupation and create bad
habits. Gambling, drinking and
other forms of vice are promoted
in such restricted mode of life.
I'm the second place, an oppor.
tunity for hard, earnest and Joy.
Gus play improves the health, de-
velops the muscles, expands the
lungs and teaches the moral les
sons Of attention, self restraint,
courage and patient effort.
Il think every city is under the
strongest obligation to its people
to furnish to the children, from the
time they begin to walk until they
reach manhood, places within the
city walls large enough and laid
out in proper form for the playing
of all sorts of games which are
known to our boys and girls and
are liked by them.
Il sincerely hope that your pres
ent convention may be a success
and that the work which you have
begun may go on until no city in
this country is without suitable
Fairgrounds for the children OF
those who but for such city assist
anoe in this regard would be with
out them. Sincerely yours, w. II.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-In a
vigorous message sent congress to-
day, Taft expresses the opinion
that the United States has gone too
far in the extension of powers of
self government to the people of
Porto Rico and has recommended
certain notifications in the For
aker act providing for the admins
tration of affairs in Porto Rico.
He censures the action of the
house of delegates of the island for
refusing to pass appropriation bills
for the coming fiscal year and sug-
gests are desirability of taking
from this lower body of the Porto
Rican assembly the power to
hamper the government.
The message says:
THE regular session legislative
assembly of Porto Rico adjourned
March II, without passing the us.
ual appropriation bills. A special
session convened by the governor
on March 16 adjourned without
making appropriations. leaving the
island without provision for sup
port after June 30, next. Ever since
the institution of the present as
sembly the house of delegates has
uniformly held up appropriations
until the last minute of the regular
session and has sought to use it's
power to do so as a means of COM
polling concurrence of the execu-
tive council in legislation which
the house desired"
The message recites how the ex-
ecutive council in the last assem-
bly, refused to pass certain bills
passed by the house, whereupon
the latter body refused to pass the
necessary appropriation bills.
The president recommends an
amendment to the Foraker act, pro-
viding that whenever the legisla-
tive assembly adjourns without
making appropriations necessary to
carry on government. sums amount

previous year for respective pur-
poses shall be available from cur

ANOTHER JUDGE
FOR GORDON
TRIAL

In all probability another judge
will be called from outside the
county to try the cases against
Judge M. J. Gordon. The first OF
these cases will be set for trial
early in June.
The selection of this trial judge
is to be made by the five judges OF
the superior court, but no choice
of Judge has as yet been an
nounced by them. Judge Hinkle
recently stated from the bench
that he deemed it advisable to call
in an outside Judge to hear the
cases.
Thee first brush in the Gordon
casee will be the hearing of the mo
ton to quash or set aside the in
dictments, filed Saturday. Gordon
attacks the manner in which the
grand jury was empaneled, the
taking of shorthand notes by J. II
Pelletier and his presence in the
grand jury room, and the conduct
of Prosecutor Pugh in giving out
newspaper interviews and in 9th
er ways prejudicing the grand jury
against Gordon.
The attorneys for Judge Gordon
want the Sparrow case brought tC
trial first, but the selection of the
first case to be tried rests with the
prosecuting attorney. Mr.. Pugf
will ask that the eight cases
against Gordon be all set for the
same time and he. will determine
which of the eight he will call fol
trial first
