MADE FOUR NEW
CITIZENS
KEEPS CLOSE
WATCH ON APPLICANTS FOR
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. U. 8.
ATTORNEY HERE.

George Johnson of Sweden, resi-
dent of Chelan; George Nichol, Scot
Ian, of Wenatchee; John Swanton,
Ireland. residing at Merritt, and
George C. Fasken, Canada, resilient
of Peshastin, were allowed citizenship
papers this morning in Judge Grim
shaw's court.
Henry B. Hazard of Seattle, as
sistant U. s. district attorney, repre-
sented the government and stated to
the World that every effort is being
made by the United States, through
the department of commerce and
labor to keep undesirable persons
from citizenship.
There are only four officers to look
after the governments interests in
this particular in the 1874 courts of
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana, consequently thorough investi-
cations can not be made in all in
stances. In country districts 1t is
much easier to learn all about an
applicant and the U. s. attorneys
rely for information on the testimony
of responsible persons. Sometimes
they are not able to be present when
applicants are admitted but they COW
er the field as completely as they
can.
A recent instance that shows how
important is their work occurred in
the case of Jeane Rose Dupont, who
filed petition for naturalization
June /, 1909. An investigation
showed that the applicant was not of
good moral character and at the final
hearing September Is, 1909, Mr..
Hazard introduced evidence to that
effect. The petition was denied with
prejudice. Then he presented the
evidence before the grand jury at
Portland and got the applicant in
dicted for perjury.
On December 6 the witness was
sentenced for one year in the penf-
Tertiary and the applicant was appre-
hended and is now in Seattle await
ing sentence.
Baked White Slave Traffic.
The object of the applicant ap-
peared to be to get within the law
that forbids the bringing in of inn
migrants by foreigners for Immoral
purposes. The great good being done
by the special attorneys is easily seen
in this one instance. Another In
stance was mentioned In the daily
papers few days ago.
The attorneys for the government.
known as field men, have been doing
the good work since the new natural
ization Law Of June 20. 1906, went
Into effect.

SPOKANE SUPERIOR COURT
JUDGE HOLDS THAT So is THE
FEE INTENDED TO BE CHARG-
ED FOR LICENSES.

Spokane, jan 2S.-Here is an
other increase in the cost of living
that will be hard matter to boycott
"a SO per cent increase at that
It's another one of those articles
that come high, but we must have it.
A new sign appeared yesterday at
the marriage license window of the
county auditors Office. 1t reads:
Marriage license fee So, which in
cludes fee of county clerk and record
ing certificate"
The sign has been posted as the
result of a ruling made by Judge
Hinkle, after having the matter un-
der advisement for some time, to the
effect that ministers who perform the
marriage ceremony can not be re-
quired to pay the county clerk a fee
of 81 for recording the certificate,
which is returned by the minister
Tinkered With the Law.
Owing to tinkerins of the marriage
license law at the regular and spe-
cial sessions of the legislature last
winter, the fee which should be
charged by the county auditor for a
marriage license was left unsettled.
and different counties of the state
have been charging different fees,
from So to 81, or more in some in
stances.
Upon the advice of A. j. Laughon,
then a deputy in the prosecuting at
torney's office, Auditor Butler placed
the license fee at So, leaving the
county clerk to collect fee of 81
for recording the marriage certificate
from the minister making the return.
The ministers objected. and made a
friendly test case, using Rev. j. H.
Bennett as the complainant The
ruling of Judge Hinkle is DISPOSE
ton of that case.
Two Hundred Left Unrecorded.
Auditor Butler decided this morn
ing to raise the fee to So, which will
take care of the recording in the
clerks Office, and put an end to the
controversy so far as future licenses
are concerned.

felt the need of hurrying the matter
and opened negotiations with Walla
Walla Immediately on receipt of the
telegram from Mayor Gellatly on the
7th of this month to the effect that
Wenatchee was not interested. Later
when w. O. Fowler took the matter
up and succeeded in creating so much
enthusiasm an attempt was made to
get the offer made again. In the
meantime Walla Walla had reported
a company ready to muster in.
The adjutant general expressed
himself as being very sorry that We
natchee's enthusiasm could not be
gratified and that he would remem-
Der this city at the next opportunity
There is talk of making some
changes in the national guard that

SHOULD NOT MUz.
lE PULPIT
DIR. STEVENSON SAYS THAT
PREACHERS SHOULD TAKE
COGNIZANCE OF THE MOVE.
MENTS OF THE TIMES.

Much is being said these days of
the controlling. cozening and coerc-
ing influence of the capitalistic in
terests over the pulpit, the press and
the public schools. These social in
situations, 1t is alleged, are being de-
based so as to conserve the welfare
of the privileged class rather than
the public welfare. There are some
who think that these institutions
should be free from the influence of
the interests. There are some who
think that the church should have in
it some who perform the Office of the
Old Testament prophets who were
bold preachers of righteousness in
times of grave social crises Among
those who think that the church
should have a social as well as theo-
logical message is the Rev. DR.. w.
A. Stevenson, who will preach Sun
day evening on ''The Muzzling of the
Pulpit" When he was seen today
he said:
''I conceive it to be the function
of the pulpit not only to be interest
ed in theology but in everything that
has to do with the progress of civil
ization To the end that the world
may be better the church should be
interested in the social movements of
the day and consequently that the
pulpit has the right to be heard on
the political questions. The church
that does not take account of these
social movements is not living up to
it's opportunity nor is it acting like
the Master, for he discussed the
movements of his time.
but there are those who assume
that the moment the pulpit discusses
those things it is going out of its
realm of usefulness. There are those
who object and are the muzzlers of
the pulpit The great interests are
those who would dictate to the pull
pit"

CENTER OF POPULATION.

Indianapolis Star: The center of
population under the new census
will not, 1t is thought, be moved far
from the present center. This is not
because the population of the United
States has not greatly increased, but
because the bulk Of the increase is
not as usual in the west. There has
been a great addition to the number
of inhabitants southeast especially in
Texas; but on the other hand, a
large percentage of the immigrants
VINO arrived during the last few years
scattered themselves over the east
ern states. Rhode Islands increase,
for example, is 16 per cent. In every
direction there is still room for
more. 5

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
III. Enormous Hands and Feet aad
His Wonderful Strength.

III. Enormous Hands and Feet esd
His Wonderful Strength.
In memoir written by David Akef>
son in 1911 Is found this description:
| Washington had a large, thick nose,
and It was very red that day, giving
me the impression that he was not so
moderate In the use Of liquors as he
was supposed to be. found afterward
that this was paculiarity. His nose
was apt to turn scarlet In cold wind.
He was standing near a small camp
fire, evidently lost in thought and
making no effort to keep warm. He
seemed six feet and half In height,
was as erect as I'M Indian and did not
for moment relax from military
attitude that seemed vital part of
the man.
Washington's exact height was six
feet two inches in his boots. He was
then little lame from striking HIS
knee against tree. Els eye was so
gray that 1t looked almost white, and
he had q troubled look on his colorless
face. He had piece OF wooden tied
around his throat and was quite hoarse.
Perhaps the throat trouble from which
he finally died had its origin about
then.
Washington's boots were enormous.
They were No. II. His hands were
larger In proportion, and he could not
buy glove to fit him and had to
have his gloves made to order. His
mouth was his strong feature, the lips
being always tightly compressed. That
day they were compressed so tightly
a. to be almost painful to look at
At that time he weighed 200 pounds,
and there was no surplus flesh about
him. He was tremendously muscled,
and the fame of his great strength was
everywhere. His large tent, when
wrapped up with the poles, was SO
heavy that 1t required two men to
place 1t In the camp wagon. Washing
ton would lift 1t with one hand and
throw it In the wagon as easily as II
It were pair of saddlebags. he could
bold musket In one hand and shoot
with precision as easily as other men
did with pistol. His lungs were
weak, his voice never strong.
BE was at that time in the prime of
ufe. Ills hair was chestnut brown,
his cheeks were prominent, and his
head was not large in contrast to ev-
cry other part of his body, which
seemed large and bony at all points,
His finger joints and wrists were SO
large as to be genuine curiosities. As
to his habits at that period found
out much that might be interesting.
He was an enormous eater, but was
content with bread and meat If he had
plenty Of 1t. It was his regular Gus
tom to take drink of rum or whisky

OF course all this was changed when
he grew old. I saw him at Alexan.

was very gray, and his form was

county brought suit against the es-
tate Of an insane person for the
amount that had been paid out for
his keep while at the Yankton asylum
