PHILIPPINE COMMISSION
Of Five Members to Include Dewey
and Otis.

Washington, Jan. 16. - President
Schur1nan of Cornell university was at
the White House today and had talk
with the president. On leaving he said
he had accepted a position on COM
mission of five which is to be appointed
to study the commercial and social
problems of the Philippines. 1t is now
understood the other members of the
commission will be Admiral Dewey,
General Otis, Colonel Charles DENLY
and Prof. Worcester of Ann Arbor uni
VerSity.
The work of the commission, it is I'M
derstood, will be of a purely economic
and not of a political nature They
will study the habits and manners of
the Filipinos, the material resources of
the country and it's commercial posi-
bilities, but they will not attempt to
deal with the problem of government
of the islands.
The president has been anxious for
some time past to have commission
of this sort upon whose information he
could rely. The personnel OF the COM
mission is considered excellent from the
standpoint of expert knowledge. Ad-
mira1 Dewey and General Otis have, of
course, become familiar with many of
the practical sides of the Philippine
problem. Colonel DENLY was for many
years minister to China and is thor
oughly familiar with the people and
many of the problems of the orient.
Prof. Worcester has lived for years in
the Philippines, hunted with the widest
of the Moros and Sulus, attended their
tribal rites and studied the political
economy of the islands at close range.
He has written a book on the Philip
pines which is considered a standard
reference work and recently contributed
an interesting series of articles on the
Philippines to the Century magazine.
President Schurman said the commit
tee expected to sail for Manila about
the first of February.

PRETTY WEATHER GONE.
We Can't Have April Days All Thro'
January.
"Ring around the sun,
Water surely run"

The weather bureau believes as i'm
plicit1y in this old adage as does the
New England farmer and the New Bed
ford sailor. There was a lunar halo"
last night and a solar halo this morn
ing. Those are the technical terms of
the weather department, but in plain
language it means a ring around the
moon and another around the sun and
that falling weather may be expected
in either rain or snow tonight or to-
morrow.
1.-The solar halo is formed in a cloud, -
said Weather Observer T. B. Jennings,
land such cloud is likely to be the har-
binger of approaching falling weather.
The clouds under such conditions are
passing into a lower formation which
precedes rain or snow. The observa-
lions of the farmers and sailors have
shown that halos are followed by fall
ing weather. The formation is first
called cirrus clouds; they change to
cirro-stratus, and in condensing form
alto stratus; then they either clear
away or form into nimbus clouds and if
such formation comes rain or snow is
sure
The prediction is: Generally fair
tonight and Tuesday much cooler"

A CURIOUS STORY
Comes From La Junta Concerning
the Discharge of Santa Fe
Conductors.

There is an interesting story connect
ed with the wholesale discharge of San
ia Fe conductors on the western diViS-
ions of the road for irregularity. One
OF the men who offered to sell informa-
ton of dishonesty among the conduc-
tors to the officials of the company, at
the same time made a proposition to a
La Junta lawyer to suppress what in
formation he was in possession of at a
consideration of $500 per conductor.
The man was at one time deputy
sheriff of NewMexico. Later he is said to
nave been connected with the FurlOng
detective agency of St. Louis. 1t seems
that while residing in New Mexico he
worked short fare scheme with the
conductors on the Santa Fe, or knew of
such scheme being worked, and lately
decided that his knowledge should re-
suit in profit. He wrote the officials in
this city Offering to sell his information
but not receiving a satisfactory answer
Immediately decided to take up the 9TH
er end of the string and wrote an at
torney in La Junta, explaining that he
had damaging information against GER
tain conductors, but would see that it
did not reach the ears of the company
officials in view of a consideration of
$500 cash. He suggested that some Of
the conductors named were in a position
to pay much more than 5000, and Sug-
gested that if the attorney would CO.
operate with him the matter could be
made highly profitable to both.
The La Junta lawyer refused to have
anything to do with the scheme, and
since the investigation which has re-
suited in the discharge of nine conduc-
tors, started, turned the letter over to
the men. 1t is now in the possession of
Conductor Helton of Dodge City
The officials in this city say that since
receiving the communication from the
officer, he has been travelling over the
western divisions and was one of the
men Shadowed They state that the
shadowing process resulted in showing
that the conductors carried him with
out making proper returns. When ask
ed if his attempt to extort money from
the men would affect the discharge of
the conductors, Assistant General Sup
erintendent Avery Turner said this af-
ternoon that it would not, as there were
several travelling men who have been
Systematically allowed to ride by the
men discharged without any return be-
ing made for their transportation.

FULFORD RELEASED.
Judge Hazen Holds That the Con-
tractor Was Not Properly
COnQn1CG0C

Judge Hazen of the district court today
ordered the release of Abe Fulford, who
was ordered committed to Jail by Probate
Judge Dolman.
Mr.. Fulford was brought before the
probate court by a creditor and an order
was made for him to pay over a certain
sum of money. and it was claimed that
the amount was due him on a contract.
He did not turn the money over as direct
ed and Probate Judge Dolman ordered
F'ulford committed to Jail for contempt of
an order of his court. Before the order
committing him to Jail was made Fulford
was tried and found guilty of contempt.
Judge Hazen held that the probate judge
had no right to order a trial for contempt.
He also held that there had been no proper
commitment issued. Mr.. Fulford was
therefore ordered discharged He has, in
reality, not been in jail day, but was re-
leased on bond awaiting the disposition of
the case in the district court.
