DR.. Raymond is out of his sphere
He does not appreciate West Virgin

should not be forced to retain a
place which neither he nor his mas
tiers wish him to retain.

mishers at Pace and Pandacan. The
Americans responded with terrific
fire, but owing to the darkness they
were unable to determine it's effect. The
Utah light artillery finally succeeded In
silencing the native battery. The Third
artillery also did good work on the ex-
IRENE left. The engagement lasted over
IN hour.
TIE United States cruiser Charleston
and the gunboat Concord, stationed off
Malabona. opened fire from their sec
ondary batteries on the Filipino posi-
ton at Caloacan, and kept it up Wig
orously At 2:45 a. m. there was an
other fusillade along the entire line,
and the United States sea going double
turreted monitor Monadnock opened
fire on the enemy from off Malate. With
daylight the Americans advanced. The
California and Washington regiments
made a splendid charge and drove the
Filipinos from the villages of Pace and
Santa Mesa. The Nebraska regiment
also distinguished itself. capturing sew
eral prisoners and one howitzer, and g.
very strong position at the reservoir,
which is connected with the water
works.
The Kansas and Dakota regiments
compelled the enemy's right flank to re-
tire to Caloacan. There was intermit-
tent firing at various points all day
long. The losses of the Filipinos cannot
be estimated at present, but they are
known to be considerable. The Ameri-
can losses are estimated at twenty men
killed and 125 wounded. The Ygorates,
armed with bows and arrows, made a
very determined stand in the face of
hot artillery fire. and left many men
dead on the field. Several attempts

commander in the Philippines: The

in and each was cheered Justify by their
ardent admirers; from the beginning both
men fought very cautiously and very few
blows were exchanged until the eighth
round, when Coleman by several vicious
leads succeeded in landing on Blackwells

10 EAST WASHINGTON STREET.
HAS A RECEIVER NOW.
A Richmond Concern Which Occupied
the Attention OF the Legislature.

During the recent session of the General
Assembly bill was introduced to require
all fraternal beneficiary societies to make
an annual report to the state auditor COW
ering the amount Of their assets and the
volume of business done. The bill passed
both houses after a hard fight in the Sen
ate. The trouble was precpitated by an at
tempt on the part of the Continental Fra
ternal Union, of Richmond, Ind to be al
lowed to come within the provisions of the
act. Aside from Senator Binkley, Of Rich
mond. and few of his friends the senti-
meat was strongly against amending the
bill 50 as TO admit the Richmond concern.
During the debate it was alleged that it
was nearly Identical in character with the
defunct Iron Hall, and that among its off,
GERS were several who had formerly been
connected with that organization. Repre-
sentatives or the different orders who had
asked for the passage OF the bill in order
TO keep their own beneficiary organizations
above suspicion examined into the plan of
the Richmond concern and found that its
plan OF operation was one which could in
no way be termed that OF a benevolent or
beneficiary association.
II was therefore decided to keep the Cont
mental fraternal Union outside the pro-
visions OF the BILL and yesterday a telegram
from Richmond announced that a receiver
had been appointed for the concern. Ii was
organized in Richmond eight years ago, and
at present has assets amounting TO $4,000
Its Liabilities are unknown. but IL has been
ascertained that payments amounting TO
900 will be due in four months. There
are said TO be 900 members of the organiZa-
ton in this State. Paul c. Graft was APP
pointed receiver under bond of $4,000.
The receiver was appointed on the petition
OF Policyholder Turner Haynes. who filed
the suit as the result of decision on the
part Of the Supreme Council of the order
TO so into voluntary liquidation.
The Continental Fraternal Union was or
ganized about ten years ago by b. Kitchener
Graves. OF Richmond. who has been supreme
chancellor ever since. The operations have
been confined entirely 10 Indiana. Richmond

White Trial Not Sensational.

1t is expected that the argument in the
trial of George White, charged with the
murder of Howard Hansing, at Lawrence,
this county, will begin in the Morgan Cir
cult Court to-day. The trial has developed
very little of a sensational character. The
trouble between the two men occurred about
10 o'clock at night and the darkness pre-
vented the witnesses from gaining very
clear idea of just what took place. From
the evidence it appears that White and his
friends had consumed a quart of whisky
There was no evidence to show what Han
sing and his friends had taken. The knife
used by White in the cutting was one Of an
advertising variety and is in evidence in
court. There is dried bood-clot on the
blade. White and his friends were eating
cheese early in the evening Of the tragedy
and the knife was being used to cut the
cheese.
The State has produced evidence 10 show
that the cutting was wholly unjustifable,
while the defense claims that. White as
being crowded by Hapsing and his friends
and had repeatedly warned the agresSors
to stand back while he himself was back
ing away from lansing. White, in his
statement says Hansng raised his hand as
if TO attack him and he then made the
thrust with the knife in self-defense
