Was opened with d devotional service led
by the Rev DR. Wallace Radcliffe.
The address Of the presiding officer Mr.
Dinsley, strongly advocated the policy Of
expansion, and said that he considered
it the plain duty of the United States
To undertake the development and con-
troll of the Philippine Islands. He was
nothing daunted by TIE reports of the
difficulties which would be encountered
in fitting these peoples for citizenship,
: and he predicted ultimate success, paying
q high tribute 10 the energy and capacity
Of the Anglo-SaXou race. which. in his
opinion, was capable of performing any
task = which it might apply itself.
Mr.. Dingley's second point was that the

The victims blocked the entrance to
Keilys Office, waving postal cards which
read:
'Please call here at once, as your in

payments signed by the missing Eur

Burrow was known as an Insurance
broker
'And he was a glib talker'' said M s.

Brooklyn, after 'Kellys office boys had
told her the policy she supposed she had
secured for $500 on her household furni-
