dence upon which 1t was based was
presented principally by .Kersner's own
father. who was subpenaed from his
home in Rochester
Kersner. it appeared, securd his citi-
zenship documents in 1884, when the
statutes governing such procedure We're
quite lax compared to the present law.
He was two years under age at the
time, being only 19 years old, and had
been in this country only two years,
instead of having lived here for five
years. as is required by law.
Three years later he married Emma
Goldman. She was a foreigner herself,
but by virtue of her marriage to a
citizen she was clothed with the rights
of citizenship. Emma was only girl
then and had barely begun upon the
career that later connected her so
closely with the reds No defense
was made to the proceedings before
Judge Hazel.
The elder Kersner said that his son
disappeared three years ago. Emma
Goldman is believed to be in Cali
fornia with her supposed husband,
Alexander Berkman. Attorney Cham
bers denied that the action was taken
with a view of deporting Emma Gold

BANK CASHIER IS
FORCED TO RETIRE
w. E. PaImer's Resignation
From Humboldt Savings In
stitution Is Accepted

W. T. Palmer. cashier and secre-
tary of the Humboldt savings bank,
secretary of the Associated savings
banks and late candidate for the po-
-sition of superintendent of banks has
been forced to resign from his posi-
ton in the bank
Too progressive" is the way some
of the directors of the institution ex-
press it, but Palmer denies that he
has been forced out and says his
resignation was entirely voluntary. He
lays great stress on the fact that he
is not in the best of health. referring
10 recent two months leave of alb
senee he took on the advice of his
physician.
The resignation was handed in yes
terday morning and yesterday after
noon at 4 o'clock the directors met and
decided to accept it. There were no
questions asked as to why it had been
rendered. Every director seemed to
have expected it,
SAYS RESIGNATION VOLUNTARY
Yes. I have rendered my resigna-
ton" said Palmer yesterday, and /
expect that it viii be accepted this
I afternoon. IT was voluntary on my
part. my health being so poor that l
can not be confined in a bank. ! have
decided TO enter a large mercantile
establishment here in San Francisco.
l have been away from the bank for
the last two months on a leave of alb
sence, during which time l made a
campaign for the Office of superintend=
ent of banks. When l heard the other
day that the appointment had already
been made l. decided to resign from
the cashiership Of the bank and devote
my time to another business which 1
Will soon enter"
The directors of the bank do not tell
quite the same story. They think that
and despite the fact that the deposits
have increased more than $1,000, 900
during his term of office, they prefer
not to stray from the old and con-
servative methods of the institution.
Further than this, several of the
directors allege that Palmer was not
satisfied with his position of cashier,
but that he wanted to be the Hum
boldt bank" One of them said yes
terday:
ARROGANCE Is CHARGED
When a man becomes arrogant and
tries TO conduct large financial insti-
tuition all by himself is il any wonder
that the directors. who have been with
the bank since its inception, object to
such tactics. Palmer is q good man,
but there are members of the direc-
torate who think that he is too ambi-
tious."
All Of the directors hesitated about
discussing the subject Some of them
denied that Palmer had been asked to
resign. while the others smiled and
were apparently satisfied with the
course that had been pursued.
When the new banking bill passed
the legislature it is said that the posi-
ton of superintendent of banks was
suggested to Palmer with the hope
that he would make a campaign for
the position and land it. thereby saw
ing the directors the trouble of re-
/ questing his resignation.

Davis, a negro 25 years old, was
lynched today by a mob of 800 white
men. The negro confessed to having
choked Amy Holmes, a 15-year-old
white girl, who discovered him rob
bing her parents home last Friday.

make an outcry and have him ar
rested.

him. Sheriff Phinpot and his depu-
ties today tried to prevent the mob
from harming the negro but their
pleading was in vain. The prisoner
was taken from the jail and hanged
to a telegraph pole in the business

There was no shooting and the mob
did its work so quietly that the rest
of the population knew nothing Of
the affair until they saw the body
