A FILIPINO TRICK.
Hid Their Arms and Then offered to
Live Off Uncle Sam.

Seattle, Wash, June Am officer of
the Fourth United States infantry
writes from De Iona Church, near Ma
Mia. as follows:
I'VE have been visited by several
hundred insurgents, armed with moth
ing but white flags. They are anxious
to quit fighting. Major Bulb told them
he could not accept their surrender I'M
less they brought in their weapons. One
of them confessed they had sent their
rifles and ammunition to interior
stronghold when they tired of fighting
and decided to be fed as prisoners of
war. They were very much disappointed
when sent back, and will make a wild
hunt for the arms.
MANY a soldier boy will take home
a small fortune as the result of plum
der captured in Filipino towns. OF
course, the officers take the money
away from the troopers whenever they
are found out, but much of it is being
hidden away.
When in town last Saturday I saw
two natives staggering along with a
heavy sack. They were guarded by two
soldiers. The sack dropped to the
ground and $50 pounds of Mexican dol
lars tumbled out. The soldiers gathered
up the plumber and disappeared with
it

GENEROUS MR.. MORGAN.
Pays Taxes on 100000 Though He
"Hasn't Thing"

New York. June 2-The sessions of
the Mazet committee yesterday were
noticeable mainly for two points, one
the turning at bay of Mr.. Moss and
the other evidence regarding the exist
ence in this city of the most frightful
forms of depravity. BY far the greater
examination of President Feitner and
Commissioner Sheehy. both of the tax
board Their evidence merely went to
show the long established inefhciency
of the system of personal taxation and
revealed nothing sensational.
The evidence regarding the fragrant
existence of the worst forms of vice
was given by two of Mr.. Moss agents
1t esta bIished the fact that under the
eyes of the police there were running
on the Bowery the vilest of resorts, pa
tronized nightly by persons of the
lowest social standing.
Joseph Dillon, who is an employee of
Mr. Moss, related the circumstances of
an attempt to serve a subpoena on Po-
lice Captain Price, just before the po-
lice parade He testified that Price
said to him: go away from here or
will throw you overheard, you crook"
You serve the subpoena this after
noon," said Mr.. Moss, in tone that
showed his determination to make Cap
tain Price prove his accusation.
Joel Harris, another employe of Mr.
Moss, who was with Wood at "PareSiS
Hail. was then called. He confirmed
all the testimony of Wood and related
some of the habits and methods of the
habitues of this resort.
George B. Hammond, another en-
ploye of Mr.. Moss, also testified to the
hideous immortality that prevailed at
''Paresis Hail.
There was no difficulty in getting
into the place. AS member of the
City Vigilant league he had frequently
visited it, and the only occasion on
which he had noticed police action was
when one evening Captain Chapman
came in. looked around for several min
uteS and then went out.
Tax Commissioner Sheehy was then
recalled and subjected to an examina-
ton of the various assessments on diff
ferent properties.
Mr.. Moss said he had observed a
tenderness" in increasing the assess
ments of various gambling houses and
resorts. Mr.. Sheehy replied that the
commissioners know no man in assess
ing real estate
Thomas l. F'eitner, president of the
tax board, was then called. He testi-
fed that among his appointments were
those of a number of relatives at large
salaries.
Mr.. Moss went into the assessments
of John d. Rockefeller Cornelius Van
derbilt, ]. Pierpont Morgan, Russell
Sage and George Gould. In the cases

MANY TICKETS
Sold For the Public Library Concert
at Leavenworth.

Judging from the sale of tickets for
the Public Library Concert at Leaven-
worth, the Federation of Women's clubs
of that town, who have the manage
ment of the whole affair, have offered
the people a good thing and the people
evidently know good thing and snap
it up. The sale of tickets for the last
two days has been marvellous. All
questions answered and information
cheerfully given at any of the places
where tickets are on sale.

gone of the greatest hits that has been
made in this city during the present, or
any of the other theatrical seasons,
WAS made last night at the Margaret
when Belle Archer and her company
presented Hoyt's "A Contented Wo-
man" The play is certainly one Of
Mr. Hoyt's greatest productions. 1t is
not merely a vehicle for the carrying of
farcial righteousness. but it is a play
with a plot to it, The plot deals with
one of the greatest questions before the
American people to-day-woman suf-
frage. Mr.. Hoyt has handled his SUBJ
ject in manner that is at once pleas
ing and points out a lesson. That the
performance was enjoyed was emphat-
ically demonstrated by the roars of
laughter that followed one another con-
tinuously throughout the evening. The
entertainment was certainly a rare
treat for Anaconda theater-goers The
fact that the people knew "A Content
ed Woman to be a good thing, was
shown by the large audience present.
ssfhe play was cleverly carried through
bys a company of clever players. Miss
Archer while heading the list, of
course, was not an OvershadoWing lum
mary. Arthur II. Buchanan and
Charles p. Morrison are two clever
comedians. the latter making a decid
ed hit both in the part of Cutting
Hintz' and also in his song speciality.
Mrs. Fanny Denham Rouse as Aunt
jim" the great female suffrage agita
tor, won a large part of the liberal APP
plause. The Part fits her to nicely
and surely no one could fit the part
better than she. Arthur Gregory as
.IJncle Tody," was an ideal interpreter
Of that part. Among others who de-
serve special mention, were the Misses
Bonnie Lottie, Eugene Taylor, Phyllis
Young, Lenora Lockwood, Henrietta
Lee, Minnie Weller and Nell Warner.
w, F. Granger, Edward Craven and
Charles E. Wilbur formed a trio of as
amusing politicians as ever carried a
ward, while f. r. Benton, John L.
Kearney and Thomas Nelson filled out
the cast eplendidly.
The specialties were all new. The
music was catchy and the songs new
and bright. Throughout the piece cleV-
er jokes and clean wit prevailed, and,
like all of Hoyt's plays, the piece is en-
1irely up-to-date.

From the New York World.
EX-Attorney General Miller raises a
very interesting question. He points out
that only last March the supreme court
decided that any child born within United
States territory--eVen though both it's
parents be Chinese-is an American citi-
zen and cannot be excluded from his
rights as such. Judge Miller suggests
that if we make United States territory
out of the Philippines, by any form of
annexation. we shall make American cit
liens of everybody born there. The out
look for an influx of cheap labor after
annexation seems interesting.
