Fritz Banks, the boy burglar, who is ac cused of stealing $65 from Mrs. Sinnetti at 1715 Fillmore street, was up for a hearing in Judge Fritz's court yesterday. Detec tive Gibson detailed the particulars to the court as far as he knew them. He told how he found the boy tied with ropes to a post and carefully guarded by two men. Mrs. Sinnetti said that her house had been robbed systematically for a year and she suspected the boy of the crime. The youth ful prisoner denied every charge and his appearance evidently convinced the Judge that there was some credit to be attached to his statements. The case was con tinued until to-day.

At the Ferry building the greatest en ergy is being shown by McMurray and Tldball, who have charge of the precious Other arangements made are for daily excursions on the bay and. railroads to nearby points of interest. The Fresno people told Mr. Patton that they intend distributing 100,000 half-pound boxes of raisins broadcast among the visitors. Committees from Sacramento and Fresno arrived yesterday morning with the object of getting space i for an ex hibit of their county products, and were cordially received by Charles L. Patton. Local Pythians say that in view of the reputation that San Francisco has always enjoyed among Eastern people as a cily where persons may live exceedingly well at a very reasonable cost, and also in the anticipation that numerous families will come to the city having in mind the probability of becoming permanent resi dents, it will be to the advantage of all concerned If regular rates prevail during the convention, and the committees hope and believe that San Franciscans will realize the importance of moderation In charges. In addition to the 3000 Knights Loyal, or members of the Uniform Rank, who will be quartered at the Mechanics' Pa vilion, about 9000 will be cared for hi tents. By the special bill that passed both branches of Congress at Washington just before adjournment the order has been granted the use of 1000 army tents, which will be erected on all vacant lots adja cent to the Pavilion. Those desirous of offering accommoda tion, which is much needed, may, there fore, communicate at once with Mr. Col burn, room 1013, Claus Spreckles build ing, who will place on record all such applications. The hotel committee is ex ercising the utmost caution that the visi tors may be sure they shall be placed in the most desirable Quarters. ACCOMMODATION NEEDED. No less than 200 individual desks have been ordered for the use of the^ repre sentatives from each State. In order to get an idea of the vast number of persons who will visit San Francisco upon this occasion, it must be remembered that there are more than 9000 lodges In the order of the Knights of Pythias in the United States and Canada and provinces, all of which will be repre sented. From letters received it is cer tain that many of the visiting Knights will be accompanied by their wives and families and, moreover, the rate that has been given by the railroads will doubt less induce a large number outside the order to make the trip to this city. Naturally, many of the visiting Knights and their families will prefer to be quar tered with private families during their stay here and this, it is suggested, will affor«r to many San Francisco house wives an opportunity to add to their pin money. The largest dining-room of the Palace will b© cleared of its tables and during the week none excepting the members of the order will be admitted inside the room while the Grand Lodge is in ses sion. FREDERICK H. COLBURN, who has been delegated to secure hotel reservations and accommodations for the visiting Knights of Pyth ias and their friends who will errive in force on special trains from, all points of the United States on August 9 and 10, reports that the Grand Lodge and most of the supreme representatives of the order will be quartered at the Palace Hotel, which the committee has been for tunate in securing as headquarters. So would it be In the United States, he declared, for the time would come when devastation would make the reforesting of the wasted lands necessary to give safety for one thing and for the advance ment and protection of the agricultural Industry of the country. Dr. Fernow was given a hearty vote of thanks for the instructive lecture, which was listened to by many prominent engi-: neers and scientists of this city.' He showed how the destruction of the woods of the south of France after the Revolution had caused subsequent gov ernments to expend as much as $40,000, 000 <n an endeavor to create the growth of trees once more on the lands that had been bare and ruined. Dr. B. E. Fernow, director of the New York State College of Forestry and professor of forestry In Cornell Univer sity, delivered a lecture Monday at the Academy of Sciences before a large audience. The doctor showed what the devastation of the forests meant to the United States. The troubles and loss of life so frequently chronicled, the swelling and overflow of the rivers until houses vere submerged and ranches and farm li^nds were ruined were the result of the destruction of the vast forests, the cpfeaker said. Through the destruction, he said, the earth was washed down to the waters, making narrow channels and floods were the natural consequence. 840,000,000 to Beplant Her Woods. Dr. Fernow Shows How France Paid TALKS OF DESTBUCnON OF THE GBEAT FORESTS Careful attention to the instruction of the newly appointed officers is enjoined on all reg imental, troop, battery and company com manders. They should be Impressed with the importance of the faithful performance of every duty, however unimportant it may appear to them, and with their responsibility for such conduct and bearing in all their relations as shall do honor to the service. The newly appointed officers should realize that there is much to be learned and that the way to qualify themselves for the high and independent command for which they should all hope is by constant intellectual exercise and by systematic study of the reasons of mil itary action and the materials and conditions and difficulties with which military command ers have to deal. The abandonment of the military schools for commissioned officers, which followed the em ployment of the entire army in active military operations, has left these 1542 new lieutenants substantially without any means of acquiring: a systematic military education. While many of the former officers of volunteers have ac quired the most valuable experience by active service in the field, yet it is of great impor tance to them, as well as to the untrained appointees from civil life and from the ranks, that they shall have an opportunity for broad and thorough training, both practical and the oretical, under competent masters in the art of war whom our army is able to supply. Congress has now with wise liberality made provision for the reopening of the army schools, has given its sanction to the general system of military education embodied in the general order of November 27 last, including the en largement and development of the Fort Leav enworth school into a general service and staff college, the establishment of the war college at Washington with suitable buildings and tne rebuilding of the engineer school; and has made ample appropriations for these purposes. Every effort will be made by the War Col lege Board. v;hich has general supervision and charge of the whole system, to bring its ad vantages to the new officers of the army as epeedily as possible and to organize officers' schools at all the considerable posts without delay. I ask for hearty cc-operation with them on the part of every officer of the army. There are 1542 graduates of the Military Acad emy now holding commissions. They especially have an opportunity to demonstrate their loy alty to the principles of that institution' by helping to diffuse throughout the service tho benefits which have come to them during their four years of hard work. Since the declaration of war with Spain in April, 189S, there have been appointed in the line of the army 1542 lieutenants, in addition to 276 appointed from the Military Academy. Of these, 616 were appointed from officers of volunteers under the act of February 2, 1901; 414 were appointed from the enlisted men of the regular and volunteer armies and 512 were appointed from civil life. With the reduction" of the Philippine foreh and the withdrawal from Cuba the army Is called upon to resume its most Important work in time of peace — the work of perfecting itself in military science and skill and in promoting the position of the United States against future wars. I wish to call your attention to the conditions which now require especial effort ' and zeal on your part in the performance of this duty.. WASHINGTON, July 22. — Secretary Root before leaving Washington to-day is sued the following: "On the contrary, it may be said with equal authority that Secretary Shaw is heartily in accord with civil service in every respect. As an illustration of his attitude on matters of personnel may be cited his signing yesterday of a set of reg ulations placing laborers and other un skilled positions under the control of the Civil Service Commission, removing there by the last bit of patronage at the dis posal of the Treasury." •'To avoid any further misconception of the facts in the case, it may be announced on absolute authority that no such re mark or expression was ever made by Secretary Shaw and that the articles pur porting to represent his attitude as a headsman are made out of whole cloth. "Numerous inquiries have been received at the Treasury Department relative to the truth or falsity of the alleged asser tion of Secretary Shaw that he was in favor of a five-year limit for service in the Treasury Department. The original news paper article and those that followed it stating that the Secretary believed a de partmental employe lost his usefulness after five years of government work were so ridiculously improbable that they were never dignified by a denial. That a great many people have taken these articles ser iously has been demonstrated by the num ber of inquiries, not only from Washing ton, but from all over the country. WASHINGTON.
