General Anderson specifically and
emphatically denies that there is any
truth whatever in the statement by the
Filipino commissioner that he told TO
him last winter that the intention Of the
United states was to give the Philip
pine islands Independence and did not
intend to take a foot Of territory. The
publication was made in the Mlnnea-
polls Times from Its Manila correspon-
dent. General Anderson. In his state
ment, shows that 1t was impossible for
him to have had such conversation,
as he left Manila before the insurrec-
ton began, and there were no such
negotiations being made.

Morbid sympathy for Criminals.

moFDlu Symputny AorOEItnlunAs.
An example of the tendency these
days on the part Of certain classes to
sympathIze with crime. is afforded by
the fact that already there is a move
ment in New York to obtain the pardon
OF Mrs. Barrow, who Is serving a
twelve year sentence in Sing Sing for
her completely in the kidnapping Of
Baby Marion Clarke. a crime which
aroused the indignation OF the whole
city and interested the attention Of the
country. The basis of the petition TO
Governor Roosevelt is that Mrs. Bar
row was simply acting as a tool OF her
husband and under his influence. 1t
seems difficult to understand how a
movement of this sort can be started
in any community, and It can only be
accounted for by the fact that. in about
every city or town there are morbid
classes of society whose sympathies
are always for criminals, particularly
If they happen to be women.
On the subject Of this New York eff
fort to have Mrs. Barrow pardoned, the
Chicago Tribune holds, and not without
justification. that there is no baser or
meaner crime than that of kidnapping.
ut is unnatural and 1t endangers every
home" says the Tribune. Ordinarily
1t requires more than one person TO
commit It, and the person who aids the
author Of the plot is Just as guilty and
dangerous as the latter" Those who
symputhlze with the tool" are only en-
couraglng others to be tools" Of pro-
fesslonal kldnapers. To encourage is
not any better, morally, than to aid the
principal in crime.
1t is not at all probable, Judging from
the deserved reputation of Governor
Roosevelt for business, that he will per-
NIT himself to be Influenced by morbid
sentiment. He is not a man who would
perform an act which would encourage
others to do Just what Mrs. Barrow
did, by her own confession, and endan-
ger the safety of children in thousands
OF homes in New York.

The bicycle combine, which has been
in process Of formation for several
months may now be regarded as an ac-
complIshed fact. The cause Of the long
delay seems to have been that the COM
pany was originally incorporated with
a capitalization Of ssO,OOO,OOO, which was
so large that 1t was not possible to car
ry out the plan. 1t is now stated that
the trusts capital is reduced Just one
half, being fxed at S4OOOO,OOo Forty
six companies owning fifty-six factor
let, compose the combine. The alleged
purpose Of the trust is to regulate
prices and increase facilities, the prom
lse being that the result will be lower
prices for wheels. Let Us hope that the
public, or the large proportion of It,
that rides the cycles, will not be disap-
pointed in this promise.

TO BUILD A HOSPITAL.
Movement Revived by Newport News
Dry Dock Is .naficial AasaciAtian.

The movement to build a hospital or
vived by the Newport News Dry Dock
Beneficial Association which has APP
pointed committee TO confer with the
other beneficial associations Of the city
with a view of securing their cooper
alton. and of forming plans upon
which definite beginning may be
made
The plan to build hospital in New
port News is by no means a new one.
1T has been brought forward from time
10 time. ever since the city was start
ed.
The need Of such an institution has
long been realized. There are large
industries here employing thousands CT
men, all liable to accident. Not only
that but u large percentage Of the
people here live in boarding houses ard
have no homes Of their own in the
city. To them a hospital would be 4
blessing either in case OF accident or
serious illness.
1t is believed that the movement now
inaugurated will result in substan-
tial start being made.
The association has elected the fol-
lowing officers for the ensuing year:

Carruthers, vice president: d. NJ Eax-
ter, treasurer: Thomas Hopkins, fnan-
cal secretary: Clement Hinkie. record

The individual! who was in such Il
hurry was Charlie Adams. the Tween
ty-third street saloon keeper, who
wanted a warrant or two for his bar
keeper, Jack Davis. who had, accord
ing to Charlie. smashed up large per-
centaSe OF the furniture in his place
and then driven the proprietor out OF
his own establishment in a manner
that was neither ceremonious nor po-
lite
Charlie said that Jack had threatened
TO Kill him. and wanted him put under
a peace bond. Justice Brown happen
ed to be at the courthouse and issued
two warrants for the man, one charg-
ing him with breaking up another
mans property, and the other. peace
warrant. Officer Roy Charles took the
warrants and arrested Jack Davis. who
made no resistance. but came On to the
station house with the officer and was
locked up
Then Adams went back to his place
of business. Before making the ar
rest Officer Charles asked Adams to
accompany him back TO the saloon, but
Adams told him, nay. nay, not ON his
life; he did not want TO meet Jack
Davis.
