The extreme cold having passed, the nat
ural gas question has lost some of its in
terest as an absorbing topic, but it is well
enough to emphasize some ipoints for re-
membrance. A communication in the Jour
nal yesterday called attention to the fact
that the normal supply of gas is wastefulIy
reduced by the common practice of taking
off or boring out mixers, thus enabling the
selfish and dishonest person who does it to
rob other people of their pro rata share
while he gets gas to burn in a wasteful
manner. The fact that this is violation
of law does not prevent it from being a
very prevalent practice. The companies
would render a public service and aid ma
terially in the preservation of the gas sup
ply if they would take vigorous measures to
break up the practice.

INCENDIHRY'S CONFESSION.
He Charges a College President with
Blame for His Downfall.

EASTON, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE trial of Prof.
George II. Stephens, charged with burning
Pardee Hall, Lafayette College, reached a
climax to-day when counsel for the defense
introduced as evidence a confession made
by the prisoner the day after his arrest.
The paper is a remarkable piece of work
and dramatic in the extreme. Stephens adj
mits all the charges under which he Is in
dicted but lays the blame of his downfall
and his present predicament at the door
of President Warfeld. He claims that he
was inveigled into signing a paper by the
college president that later turned out to be
an agreement on his part to quit the fac
ulty Warfield is severely scored and con-
deInned and he is held responsible for the
physical and mental condition Of Professor
Evans, who Is in an insane asylum.
Stephens declares that Evans was induced
to return from Rome on the promise OF a
position from Warfield, who at the last mo-
ment refused to keep his part OF the agree
nlent Stephens was much affected during
the reading of his confession. At times he
would weep bitterly and laugh Historically.
DR. VARIED sat near the prisoner during
the session.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Lively Discussion over Bill Relating
to Chrnres Of Venue


to Changes of Venue.
During the afternoon session Of the Senate
quite disc sion arose over the divided re-
port of the judiciary committee on House
bill No. us, by Representative Artman, CIV
ing the trial court discretion in the matter
of granting changes Of venue.
Senator Drummond, speaking from the
standpoint of an old proecutor, said that un-
der the proposed law 1t would be almost inn
possible for a man who brought suit against
a corporation which stood well with the
judge to secure a change Of venue and that
this fact precluded his being given fair
trial. He said the majority report should
be adopted so that any litigant might get
away from local influences whenever he
thought strong influences were against him.
Senator Wood, speaking for the bill, said
that the present loose law allowed a rail-
road company which was sued by any one
to bring in afiidavits from its employees
claiming that it would be unable to secure
fair trial and take the case to another
court. leaving the plaintiff helpless. The
bill was finally killed and the law remains
the same.
The committee presented a divided report
on Senator Hubbelrs bill providing that dis
erection shall be allowed to courts in COM
the testator requests that the executor shall
not be required to file a bond. The present
law require such bond 10 be filed without
regard to the wishes Of the testator
Senator Hubbell called attention 10 the
fact that many times executors are pre-
vented from administering the trust gwen
them because Of their inability to give bond,
and in cases known TO him widows VINO We're
sole heirs of estates, after the payment OK
debts, were prevented from handling their
own estates because they could not give
bond. Senators Brooks and Newly held that
the proposed law would be an unsafe one,
even though administered in good faith. and
the only thing that would absolutely secure
trust funds would be TO exact a bond from
every executor. He further held that the
practice in most or the courts or the state
permits a wife or other sole heir who IS
named as executor OF a will TO prove a VIII,
providing there are no debts 10 pay. 70 enter
into its administration without bond. The
bill was finally killed
MEASURES SUBSTITUTED.

House bin No. "a was substituted for Sem
ate bill No 2l2. providing for a pension OF

1t would be interesting to know what the
able statesmen who voted for the McEnery
resolution think they have accomplished.
They condemn the fighting in the Philip
pines, yet the resolution declares that 'ft
is the intention Of the United States to es-
tablish on said islands a government suit
able to the wants and conditions of the in
habitants of said islands to prepare them for
local self-government and in due time make
such disposition of the islands as will best
promote the interests of the citizens of the
United States and the inhabitants of said
islands" II the able statesmen aforesaid
viii tell how local government or govern
ment OF any kind can be established in the
Philippines until the Aguinaldo insurrection
Is put down they would doubtless confer a
favor on the administration.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1899-02-16

There is controversy as to whether the
Americans or the Filipinos precipitated the
fighting at Manila and Iloilo. Fighting was
a logical necessity OF the situation, sure to
come soon or late, and it matters little who
or what started it. 1t should continue until
the insurgents lay down their arms or come
to terms. The United States are there by
right of conquest. Spain has made over the
islands to us, and as long as the insurgents
choose to make war on the only rightful
owner and sovereign OF the islands they
should have war in return. We have bet
ter right in the Philippines than we have
in Cuba, yet nobody questions the justice
of our temporary occupation of Cuba or
would question the propriety Of our put
ting down Cuban instruction by force.
