FRANCE PAYS TRIBUTE TO
 NEW FRISCO
Ambassador Jalsserand PH- sents Medal on Behalf of His Country, Commemor- ative of Determination and Courage in Erecting a Greater City on Ruins of Earthquake.

San Francisco, June 5.-France to- day paid national tribute to the spirit of the new San Francisco when Am bassador Jean Jules Jusserand, in be- half of the people, of the French Re public, presented to this city a medal commemorative of the determination and courage that has erected another and greater city from the ruins left in the wake of the earthquake and fire of April IS, 1906.
 The Ambassador said that the French government had delegated him to cross the continent and present the medal to the city in person. Permit me, MT. MayOr, he said, "tO place in your keeping this work of which one single copy in gold has been made. On one side emblematically is shown your city raising from her tomb and powerful and handsome as ever, throw ing off her shroud: on the other side the figure of France is seen present. ing a branch of laurel to America.
 Accept this gift, MT. Mayor, and receive it, all you American citizens, in token that what once was still is; that we French continue as of old, to feel with you in your moments of hap piness or of anger and I may be per- mitted to appropriate the words of MT. Eaihu Root, a sentiment enduring among the people is a great and sub- stantiaI fact to reckon with. Long live your city and may continuous pros perity be the lot of the American na- tion.''
 Attended by impressive ceremony, the formal presentation of the memor- ial was made upon the stage of the San Francisco Orpheum Theater. Grouped about Mayor Edward Rob- son Taylor upon the stage were rep resentatives of San Francisco and California. The auditorium was hll- ed to the topmost balcony with citi- zens.
 As the Mayor accepted the memorial the orchestra broke into the martial strains of the "Marseillaise' every person in the great audience rising to his feet.
 Mayor Taylor briefly expressed the gratitude and appreciation of the city. The spectators remained standing while the orchestra played 'The Star mai exercises.
 Since the arrival of Ambassador and Mime. Jusserand early yesterday, they have been feted continuously. They have been the guests of every French organization in the city, and last night were rendered a reception by the entire French colony
 This afternoon was spent in a sight seeing tour of the city in the care of a party of citizens headed by the May or.
 Tonight, at the Fairmont Hotel, a banquet will be spread in honor of the distinguished visitors. Mayor Taylor will preside and among the speakers will be President Benjamin Ide Vince Ter of the University of California Chief Justice w. H. Beatty of the Cal ifornia Supreme Court, and M Henri Merou, French Consul General

sensational Speeches Made Today at Annual Meeting of German Navy League, Showing Marked Hos tility Towards Eng
 fish.
Delegates Openly Advocat- ed Upbuilding of German President Roster Proclaimed that Germany Must Perfect Fleet to Cope With Most Powerful Marine Rivals.
Special from United Press.


 Kiel. June 5-The strongest anti nnrlish note yet heard in German semi-omcial circles dominated to-day:s annual general meeting of the Ger man Navy. League under the presi- dency of the Admiralty. The dissimu- lation was thrown aside and the del crates openly advocated the acceler- ated upbuilding of the German navy ssto contest the present naval supre- macy of England.'' The boldness of many of the speakers was surprising In nearly every utterance there was marked hostility to England and the resolutions that were made and adopt ed unanimously showed plainly the feeling that Germany should stand supreme in the world The meet1ns disclosed the fact that there are nearly million members of the league in favor of a bigger navy. The league d 90 wished Germany to be supreme in aerial navigation
 President Koester's speech was sen- sationaI in the extreme. "Our naval policy must be persevered in." he 6aid Germany must continue her Work and perfect her fleet which will i, erful marine rivals. There must be no going backwards because of criticism from outsiders. A fleet that will keep the German nation where 1t belongs among the powers or rae WOrlo IS dIi immediate necessity"
 Count Revent Low waxed sensation a1 ssHngiand's claim that she must rulo the seas Is preposterous, he de- clared as the entire assemblaee ap- plaudod- England has no divine right to dominate the ocean. Ger many and the other rising naval pow CTS must contest for supremacy. Ger many must at least rule the North Sea and no interference with her can be brooked."
 Baron Engel said that Germany VIII be powerful enough to wrest con 4r6f &f the seas from England Three following speakers repudiated the idea Of any agreement with England which would have for it's object the limita- ton of the Imperial navy.
 Two other speakers emphasized the necessity Of a huge fleet capable of protecting Germany's trans-oceanic iuterests whether on the Atlantic, on the Pacific or in the Far East. But 1t was left to Herr Schmidt to make the most sensational utterance of the day After referring to the agitation against Germany In many quarters and to the fact that the national spirit was behind the naval increase he said:
 German warships are kept too close to home. Our sphere of action should be broadened. What we need is a .navy big enough and powerful enough 60 that it can cruise American waters and remind the inhabitants there of the existence of Germany as a naval uoWor.

TRIAL BY JURY
Reduced to an Absurdity in tho Cooper
 Murder Case


 From the New York Evening Post.
 Trial by jury reaches its acme of ab- surdity in the case of the murderers of Senator Carmack, now pending al Nashville. After moro than three weeks of the elimination of the intelligent, a jury was found on Saturday which con tains four absolute illiterates, two others who can barely read, while all twelve swear that they have not read a news paper since the shooting, some adding, with fine superiority like that of MT. Balfour, that they had not read a paper for ten years. So much for the ridicu- lous laws in America, ostensibly aiming to secure impartiality in a, jury, but really obtaining stupidity. Better open ly fill the box from the idiot asylums ard the ranks of the defective. We sin cerely hope that the Nashville jury will be capable of following the evidence and doing its duty; but certainly the law of Tennessee has done it's best not only to prove that it is an ass, but to make sure that the really competent men shall be barred from trying an is- sue, not only of life and death, but of civilization itself. Perhaps we needed such ghastly exhibition in order to induce lawyers and judges to set about the long delayed reform of our jury laws.

TRANsLATING NAVAJO INT,
 ENGLISH.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 The first printing press ever built to print the Navajo language is now being installed at the Rehoboth Mission, five or six miles from Gallup. For the first time in the history of the tribe 1t now has an alphabet, translation of part of the Bible into the vernacular, and a real literary language. This represents the life work of the Rev. L. r. Brink, of Tonatchi, New Mexico, missionary of the Christian Reform church. For years he has been laboring under the colossal task of reducing the Navajo language to literary form, having in vented an alphabet, written diction- ary, and formulated grammar con forming to Navajo usage.
 The translation from English into the Navajo vernacular is said to be attended with peculiar difficulties. To illustrate the nature of these it may be mentioned that the Navajos have no less than twelve verbs meaning ''to give" the ono used in any particular case depend AuB ukSa tip AashkO VI WAAb ID bANCA. Similarly, there are nine dissimilar verbs meaning to eat," depending upon what is to be aten.
 This construction of the language is similar to that of the Latin, the verb usually coming last in the arrangement of the sentence. For several sounds common in Navajo there are no English equivalents. For these new characters have been invented, although the letters of the English alphabet are employed as far as possible for the indication of equivalent sounds in Navajo. To listen to conversation carried on between two Navajos, one unfamiliar with the language would think that 1t consisted mainly of inarticulate grunts; but a difference of sound so slight as to pass undetected by the untrained ear makes vast difference in meaning.

GIRLS AND GOWNS

People who are given to continuous distress about the increased cost of nv- ing and all that sort of thing will hear- tily approve, of course, the decisicn of certain Massachusetts girls, soon to re- ceive their diplomas from well-known college, not to employ any material in the construction of their graduation gowns that calls for a financial outlay of more than fifty cents yard. It is the idea of these young folks that, as was anciently observed, beauty needs not the foreign aid of adornment, ard that gowns of modest and inexpen- sivc makeup may be depended on to please the eyes of commencement spec tators quite as thoroughly as those things of yesteryear given largely to fiuffs and ruffs, laces and whatnots-- useful ard, perhaps, pretty enough for the moment but of no practical value whatsoever after the exercises were con cluded.
 Besides, by the same token that the clothes never make the real man in this world, so may We find, no matter what our previous contrary notions may havo been, that they do not make the sweet girl graduate-heaven bless her, and may her tribe increase. Amen! It is not that she comes before us beribboned and bedeckod with finery and things that We love her. It is not that she affects this, that or the other style, fashion or fad in clothes, we think. It is the witchery of herself aione-the innocent self assurance she assumes.
 What boots it that master minds in years agone have failed in seeking solu. tions of problems she proceeds to un- ravel with an exactness and preciseness as charming as it is inconclusive to all save herself and her kind? Is it not, indeed. just the boise of this dear crea- ture that attracts US irresistihly7
 Fifty cents yard is quite enough for her graduating gown. Tho raiment is relatively unimportant, when the truth is known. It is the girl that counts, decisively.
