BLUE BIRDS REAPPEARING.
Reported More Numerous This Year
Than Any Spring for Two Decades.

Those who live in the country or in
the adjacent suburbs, are glad TO report
the temperance Of blue birds, in larger
numbers this season, than in any previous
spring for a quarter Of a century. No ex-
planaiion is given to account for the pre-
sence Of these birds in greater numbers
than usual, but everyone who loves birds
and finds interest IN bird life will doubtless
learn with satisfaction that the danger
of the ultimate extinction Of the blue
bird seems less imminent than it has in
the past two decades.
The blue bird is one of the most desIr-
able, interesting and attractive Of our
| migratory fcathered friends He is one Of
the very earliest to arrive from the South
in the spring and often among the last To
leave in the autumn. A cheerful, busy
amiablc neighbor throughout the whole
summer is the blue bird. His coat Of blue
and waistcoat of red lend a rich bit Of color

secretary Of the Industrial Workers of
the World and Ill other alleged mem
bers of that organization in the federal
court yesterday there began trial Of

expected TO be long protracted and bit

voted to the Questioning Of prospective

Haywood and his co-defeudants are
accused, through the organizations of
which they were members, in fomenting
and threatening to foment strikes and
of exerting their endeavOrs in other d.
rections TO the hindering of the United
states in its conduct of the war. 'asst
To secure the necessary evidence
numerous raids Of I. w. W. headquar-

NOT LIKELY TO NAME
MANAGER IMMEDIATELY
Pioneer Directors May Wait
Month Or Even LONGER

In adj probability a month at least
will rlapse before a permanent sue.
rr,aor is named to l.. Weinzheimer as
manager Of Pioneer 'dill Company. The
necessity for action was removed at the
Saturday meeting when, Frank Stark
was named rs temporary manager II
position which he has filed on several
occasions previously when occasion has
demanded.
The selection of Mr.. Stark was made
because of his long connection with the
company, his DEMONSTRATED abilities in
agriculture, his experience and the fact
Of his having acted similarly on other
occasions. This precludes the nee essity
Of haste in making q selection for
permanent manager.
After the meeting of the Pioneer Iii
rectors on Saturday it was announced
the appointment of Mr.. Stark was tenn
porary in its nature and that the per
manent successor of Mr.. Weinzheimrr
would be Il man who had never been
identified with the Hackfeld Interests
The directors Of this company meet
monthly and it may be that the next
regular meeting will give some further
consideration to the question of man
agrmcnt. Meantime there are apt 70
be heard many rumors as to possible
selection with nothing definite to back

HOLDS .F]lLPINOS
CANNOT { 4 y |. hATURALRE
Judge Ashford Adds Another To
the Steadily Growing List of
Decisions On the Subject

Another, court ruling in addition to
others, that have been given on the
question whether FiIipinos are eligible
to citizenship has been given in the cir
cult court here by Judge C. W. Ash.
ford, who takes the view that FiIip:uos
are not eligible TO become citizens.
Judge Ashford Is opinion was given
ON an application for license to prac
It's" law, filed in the court by Pablo
MnnIapit, Filipino editor and leader.
Manlapit some time ago filed his de
claration Of intention to become an
American citizen. He has annourrrI
that he will make a court fight beth
for admission to citizenship and for the
privilege to obtain a license to pIar
tIS" law If this purpose is cnrr'el out
its effect will be to have the question
passed upon by the supreme court Of
the Territory. In his effort the editor
Is represented by Watson and Clemens
Former United States Judge C. +.
Clemens, who is a member of the finn
representing Mahlapit, has on record Il
decision on the question in which he
held that Hlipinos may become citi.
XCnS.
Judge Ashford said that in making
tn" ruling he was following one recent
~ handed down by United States Dis
trirt Judge Horace w. Vaughan. who
held that FillpinOs are not eligible to
citizenship.
An opinion taking the opposite view
was r"rently hauded down in the court
of appeals of the ninth circuit by Judge
w. W. Morrow. In this decision it is
held that Filipinos may become citizens
because they are natives of "A country
owing allegiance to and under the pro
trction Of the United States.
With the list of opinions on the ques.
tion growing it is probable that it will
not be finally decided until some case
is carried up to the United States su-
prcmr court.
