New York, Jan. 20. That Theodore
Roosevelt' should be asked to assums
the temporary , presidency', of 1 the new
Chinese repubiio was the 'startling sug
gestion rtade by Dr. Toyoklchl Iyenaga,
professor; ofpolltical science lta Chicago
university; ;in an address' today before
the civlo forum in the Hudaon theatre.
Colonel .'Roosevelt, according to Dr.
Iyenaga, U the only 'man fit to solve
the difficulties that now menace the
people- 06 China. 1 .
"The people of China are' not ready
for a republic," said the lecturer. "They
have lived under a monarchy for 4000
years and their progress under a new
regime will necessarily nave to b
, ,."As republic, is no.' cure for nil
evils,": said he speaker, "so Jthe Imbw-
c'ile monarchy Is damnable. Those who
- suffer niest from this revolution art the
masses, and 'the foreign ' commerce. If
the present state of affairs drags on
the foreign powers -will surely Inter
vene, The .foreign powers with their
large Interests in China will never stand
for it division of China. ; It all de
5 pends of course upon the ability of the
present leaders and statesmanship.
Admits Proposition Is tartling.
"Startling as might seem the state
ment," said the speaker, "the best plan
for China under the circumstances
would be. I am strongly tempted to sug
gest, to ask Theodore Roosevelt to serve
as a temporary president of China and
let him, with his powerful big, stick.
' whip the people Into one strong united
nation, until China attains that import
ant position In- the family of nations to
which her sue and potential
Justly entitles her to attain.
"If China will produce a man who
ran handle the big stick, he will prove
himself great for having been able to
substitute this for the sword. At pres
ent,., the sword seems to be the only
solution for solving the problems of

New York, Jan. 20. ".Oh. I Just -want
to forget if I can; Just want to forget
the dreary hours of the days and the
sleepless hours of the nights I spent
there in the big- federal prison In At
lanta, knowing all the time I was inno
cent." It was hard for Oscar Krueger to
talk today, for his faithful little wife,
kneeling at his side, threw her arms
about his neck and kissed him every
time he started. lHs little son, Harold,
perched on his knee, clung tightly to
his father, as though fearing some
unseen force would take him away
again.
For Oscar Krueger,' freed, after . a
year's wrong Imprisonment, in Uncle
Sam's' big prison house In Atlanta, is
back again in the heart of his family,
trying to forget. .
A year ago a young woman received
an impromptu letter, proposing an en
gagement. She turned the letter over
to Anthony Comstock, who suggested
that she keep the appointment It was
at a crowded downtown corner. Krue
ger, on his way to a savings bank to
deposit his money, saw the girl. She
smiled at Krueger. He smiled back. The
girl spoke to him. Sne was not of the
type of a girl who speaks to men on
the streets, and Krueger, thinking she
wished to ask a question, stopped. Im
mediately he was arrested, charged with
writing the lotter. His attorney did not
think the carie a serious one and gave
It little thought. The government, how
ever, prepared such a strong circum
stantial case that the Jury convicted
Krueger without leaving the box.
His wife and his sister took up his
fight. Handwriting experts swore he
could not have written the letter, de
spite Comstock's story on the stand.
Senators, representatives, politicians
and lawyers were appealed 'Ho. The
case was reopened and Krueger's inno
cence proved. President Taft pardoned
him. He reached New York today.

W. McLaughlin Says Applica
tion Might Go to ;
Hazard Overheard.
- A remark made by Wilson McLaugh
lin and overheard by Henry B. Hazard,
United States naturalization agent, may
cost the former his chance of getting
citizenship papers. The government
agent asked Judge Qatens yesterday aft
ernoon at the monthly hearing not to
allow McLaughlin final papers on ac
count of the remark. The Judge took
the application under advisement
McLaughlin was due before :he clr
ciut court In November for his final
hearing. He was a few minutes late,
however, and the application had to go
over until yesterday. When ha dis
covered he was too late, McLaughlin re
marked that his application could go to
a certain hot place. Mr. Hazard asked
htm about It yesterday when be applied
for papers. The applicant had forgot
ten the remark, whereupon the exam'
Ing agent related the affair and asked
the court not to allow him citizenship.
Harry Bernstein was refused his final
papers on the ground that he swore in
hiB application he was never married.
Examiner Hazard found In the records
that Bernstein was married In Russia,
where his former wife now lives,, as
the applicant was divorced from her in
Seattle. When confronted with the evi
dence, Bernstein explained-that he .did
not know he was under oath In making
the first statement in his application.
- With a short speech In which he con
gratulated the supervisors and foresters
of this district of the United States
forest J service on their excellent record
during; the past ' year, Chief Forester
Henry 8. Graves of Washington, D. C,
ciosea tne supervisors' meetings which
have been In progress during the past
week at the Carlton hotel, yesterday
afternoon. Mr. Graves wljl leave Port
land this evening for San Francisco,
where he will attend similar meetings
of the, supervisors of District 6.
J. B. Knapp, assistant district forester
and head of the division of products,
was' the principal, speaker at the after
noon meeting yesterday. Hla address
dealt with the, products of the various
woods of this section, the methods of
manufacture and methods of handling.
He said the shingle Industry of ' the
coast as a whole la In a badly disorgan
ized condition, although efforts are be
ing made now to improve it. The mills
are as a rule antiquated, according to
his statement, and little method Is used
In the manufacture and sale of shingles.
No study is made of the kinds of wood
which can be .used in shingle manufac
ture.
Modal Mill Designed. .
At present he stated that the greater
part of the rough material Is shipped
to eastern manufacturers and by them
turned out in the finished product, which
Is reshipped to the coast He based his
statements on investigations which his
office has carried on throughout this
section, and declared that these condi
tions should be remedied.
Mr. Knapp also spoke about the lack
of standardization in the arrangement
of the majority of the sawmills of the
northwest, which he declared necessi
tates the employment of many more
men throughout a mill than Is neces
sary. He bad little fault to find with
the machinery in use, as it was modern
and good on the whole. Ho described a
model mill which has been planned by
his office and which will be placed be
fore the mill owners In the near future.
Henry Ireland, forest supervisor, of
Sumpter, told of the rapid advance made
by various parasites in the forests of
.the Blue mountains during the past-five
years. These parasites, he declared,
have moved in a southerly direction,
covering about 40 miles. In all between
150,000 and 200,000 acres have been de
stroyed by the parasites, or at least
rendered of little value.
Knoii Could 8a Saved.
Much of this timber could be saved,
he thinks, If It could be marketed at
once, but a great deal is In such In
accessible places that private capital
could not afford to build railroads to It
The parasites do comparatively little
damage to the yellow pine, but practi
cally ruin the lodge pole variety,
. Resolutions in regard to the scientific
part of the work were passed and thanks
were expressed to the ttmbermen of the
northwest for the hearty support which
has been given the meetings. A resolu
tion was also passed promising co
operation to State Game Warden Flnley
In the protection and propagation of
wild game and birds.
The supervisors and forest service
officials feel highly pleased with the
results Of the meetings, as the exchange
of ideas has put aside many antiquated
methods and has Increased the efficiency
of all who attended. Its effects have
been both of benefit scientifically and
practically In this Increase of knowl
edge.
