SHIP ORIENTAL
NEARLY WRECKED
BY A LOG RAFT

DEATH OF CAPTAIN SCHROEDER
PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY ON
STEAMER PRESIDENT.

There is a general impression on the
water front that the big log raft has been
picked up again by the collier CZarina
and the tug Fearless, and is on its way
to port once more. On Friday morning
It was seen adrift in latitude 3S degrees
AZ minutes north, longitude l24 degrees 8
minutes west by the ship Oriental. 1t
was then intact and an American flag was
flying on 1t. At 10 p. m. the same day
the steamer Greenwood passed what the
captain took to be the CZarina with the
raft in tow ten miles southwest Of Point
Arena, while at 5 a. m. yesterday the
Pomona, on her way from Eureka, passed
what the captain thought to be the raft
in tow Of the Fearless and CZarina. This
was about seven miles northwest Of Point
Reyes, but as there was a dense fog at
the time the captain of the Pomona is
not certain 1t was the raft he passed. The
steamer he sighted, however, was blow

death, and is now flooding the country with a
rehash of all the old trash and unspeakable
filth Their very bitterness shows how desper-
ate they feel at the resistless growth and sue
cess of the movement, which spells death to
them. Let take warning from these awful
examples and realize that the unfaithfulness
of a single member may shut out hundreds of
souls who are waiting to partake in this glor-
ious work.
There many, many things that I would
like to say If I had time, but you need not
therefore stand still. Work for the children
and find the great Joy that awaits you in
arousing the innocent and pure qualities of
their child-like natures. 1t will illumine all
your Brotherhood work and bring you nearer
to the heart of the movement, which is the
place of peace and the home of US all. Fra
ternally yours, KATHERINE TINGLEY.

LETTER FROM MR.. SCRANTON.
Editor Of The Tribune

Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Today's editorial in The Tribune
on "Mr. Scranton Rufiled" has greatly
edited me. In common, | think, with
most people, | hold that, while an editor
has perfect right to refuse to print
any letter he sees ht 1t is not exactly
the thing, after accepting a signed letter
from a responsible party, TO cut out
without notice tC the writer. paragraph,
which spoils the point he Is trying TO
make; yet, In omitting what i said about
Mayor Moir, that is exactly what Tho
Tribune editor did. The Tribune is not
responsible for what may say over my
own signature. If ] say anything objec-
tionable about any enc, | alone am re-
sponsible, and I ask no man or paper TO
assume responsibility for me
The Tribune says the question before
the community is whether water rates
are too high. True. The question OF
municipal ownership is also equally be-
fore the community and, of this, Mayor
Moir. owing to his position, is the most
prominent advocate. Now Mayor Moir
Is a public man. and | dissent entirely
from the view taken by The Tribune
temporary editor that such Characters
ties of a public mans private life as are
likely TO affect his public action, are not
tit subjects for examination and discus
sion. If a man Is a thief and comes up
Of? If man is notorious drunkard
and comes up for policeman, Is 1t not
to be mentioned? If a man is a fOrger
and asks for place in the city treasur-
er's office are not his habits proper mat
ter for consideration? Benjamin Frank
lin well said, at is hard for an empty
bag to stand upright. and If man can
not keep his pettiest debts paid, ana then
advocates change in municipal affairs,
which would put 1t in the power of such
men as himself and Mr.. Melvin to get
loot, to which anything yet seen IN
Scranton would not be circumstance,
may we not allude to the fact? And Is
| II not a matter for thoughtful public re-
| Election? Is there any other corporation
| in town, SUCH for instance, as an elcc-
| trio light company, liable to be anected
| by Councilmanic action, and which mas
| found 1t hard to collect from the mayor?
| re-affirm with emr basis that any char
acteristc habits of a public man Ike
the mayor, likely to affect either MS
public action or his Views of public at
| fairs, are fit and proper subjects Tor
public knowledge and consideration. l
| have watched the mayors course and,
| as a Republican, | confess | shall feel
as much relief as qualification, IL he gets
| through his term of office without any
scandal i'm regard to funds, rightfully
! belonging to the city, attaching to his
| skirts Have | done any injustice to the
| mayor in all this? The courts are open
| to him.
Everybody knows that too many petty
| politicians in Scranton regard public Of
| flee as an opportunity for plumber. But
| | think it will be pretty well understood
| after a while that the Water company,
| at least, has no free list.

" F, AS LATEST advices indicate,
the Philippine insurrectiOn has
n been reduced to a few bands of
rowing robbers who kill and
plunder at will, the solution of the
problem cannot be far off in case prop
er measures of dealing with the mis-
creants be adopted Heretofore, the
Filipino warrior had only to drop his
gun in the bushes. throw up his hands
and come into the American camp with
the cry of Amigo" on his tongues
end and be forgiven and fed until he
saw fit to again steal away and join
his dusky comrades. The leniency of
the American officials in dealing with
the turbulent followers Of Aguinaldo
has had. no doubt, a mischievous effect
in producing a wrong impression upon
the treacherous Tagals, who cannot un'
derstand considerate treatment that
has not been prompted by fear. The
new policy of dealing with these rest
less bandits in the way of intlictng
swift and severe punishment upon

The insurgents who still resist the good
offices of the United States govern
ment are not patriots in any sense Of
the word and never We're. They do
not desire independence, civilization,
or law and order. They hope only for
| a chaotic state of government which
| will allow them to plunder and perse
! cute at will their weaker brethren in
| the archipelago. Good government and
a system of service that affords pro-
! lection alike to the austere and humble
| is state of affairs to be dreaded. 1t
! is useless to attempt to tame this ele-
mont of barbarism by good advice or
moral suasion. They must first lie
made to understand that the laws OF
the United States are accompanied by
penalties that will be administers
with firmness and despatch. When TIE
Filipino bandit begins to realize that
his career as an exponent of Atkinson
ism is sure to terminate at the end of
a rope he will no doubt be more willing
to turn his attention to the develop
ment of his country.

a PECULIAR defect in the
~ statutory laws of this COM
" monwcalth was brought into
prominence in the local court
yesterday for, we think, the first time
In any county. The facts were these:
one Peter Petrusk had been bonds
man for a certain Alexander Smith,
who had fled to Missouri. leaving Pet
rusk liable for the forfaited bail. To
secure Smiths return, Petrusk gave
Information before an alderman and
made oath in the district attorneys
office that Smith, before Gepartlng, had
burglarized Petrusk's house and stolen
$500. Upon this information, duly sup
ported by affidavit, Smith was arrested
IN Kansas City and brought back on
requisition papers. After his return it
appeared that Petrusk's charge Of
burglary was wholly false and Petrusk
was subsequently, indicted for perjury.
Upon trial the point was raised by
4'etrusk's attorney that perjury in
Pennsylvania can consist of false
swearing only in violation of a Penn
syivania statute or to the material OBJ
struction of process of court. The
requirement of an oath to information
calling for requisltiOn proceedings is
established by act of congress but not
by any statute in this commonwealth.
hence the quarter sessions court Of
LackaWanna county had no jurisdc-
tioa and the judge was compelled to
instruct the jury to acquit.
The loophole here left for abuse Of
legal privilege is large Under this state
OF the law in this commonwealth any
man having a grudge against another
need only await until that other de-
parts into another state to trump up
a mass Of falsehood under oath, caus-
ing the. mans arrest, his detention
pending the arrival Of eXtradiuon
papers and his return in custody, all to
o most unjust purpose. We under
stand that District Attorney Jones will
draft a law for submission TO the next
legislature giving statutory force to the
rules Of the state department at Har-
risburg governing applications for eX-
Tradition. The need of such law is
obvious and the matter should not be
permitted TO fall into oblivion.
Mr., Bryan Is in danger OF becoming
