Sergeant Crane found one which bothered

scrihed as a man weighing about one hum
dred pounds, would not permit her to cor
rect her two daughters. She wanted to
whip the girls because they stayed out late
at night and their father refused" to stand
by and see II done. She asked that police be
sent with her TO take care of her husband,
while she corrected them Crane told her
he thought she did not look IL she needed
assistance against man as small as her
husband, and in various other ways tried
to put her off, but could not. until happy

NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
Reasons why Some Of These Meetings
Should be Held I'm This City.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
There are few men whose opinions So
cial and economic questions L more readily
receive without question than Judge Mar
tindales, and If Mr.. w. 4. English's a,e
not SO readily received always 1t is proba-
ly due more to a shorter and less intimate
personal acquaintance than to lack OF
merit, for confessedly he has large and
generally very correct views on matters re-
lating to the social and economic questions
of the day: yet sometimes they reach cor
rect conclusions through wrong premises.
Such, IL seems to me, Is the case in their
late deliverances. through a reporter In the
Journal in regard to another great national
convention. Possibly there are conditions
inseparable from a political national con-
vention that make IL undesirable IL not i'm
possible to ever entertain one here, but not
so as to a national convention Of the Chris
tan Endeavorers. We don't want them as
early as 1901. Picnics are enjoyable. but we
want TO rest a spell before taking the next.
They are really profitable except with a
class of sordid souls who can estimate
profits only by figures relating to money,
and these are they who most need the break
in the routine of selfish life that picnic
inspires. especially IL the sports and fun OF
young life enter largely into IL. The very
fact that a picnic costs a little extra is in
its favor, even as TO those who can poorly
spare extra expenses. but the fact that IL
jostles the slow-going selfishness out of its
ruts is its chief reflex benefit, additional to
the very little fun and frolic some people
are capable of getting out of anything
Nevertheless, Ii Is a benefit to even these
though they may not know 1t or even
care to.

LEGAL STATUS
OF GEN. OTIS

Washington, Feb. THE state and war
departments today considered the legal
status of Otis in the Philippines. Yester-
lay in the excitement attending the ratl-
fication of the peace treaty many persons
lost sight of the fact the treaty must, be-
fore being binding, be ratified by both the
United States and Spain. In this connS-
ton it was said at the state department
today while the Americans are still bound
by the protocol, there is nothing in that
document to prevent the American COM
mander from maintaining order in the is
land and he, in fact, is compelled by the
terms of the protocol to Go so. In carry
ing out this obligation he is not confined
to Manila but may extend the lines
wherever necessary to preserve order
and prevent the reassembling and further
preparation of any person to do so again.
The decision regarding the protocol and
status quo in the Philippines, it is said,
applies to the case of Agoncillo, also, and
his agents in this country and in Canada.
They are not citizens of the United States

dreds of women are pouring into Manila

extend their lines, the more the need of
transportation increases. The American
commanders have already been compelled

ians. All public conveyances at this
