Indianapolis, Ind, July 31.-Harry
W. Essman one year ago entered in the
Third artillery, going to Manila. He
returned home Sunday. Throughout
his stay in the Philippines he was con-
stantly in action as was shown by his
discharge papers. In discussing con-
ditions in that region Essman says that
the losses in the different engagements
were heavy and exceeded the numbers
officially reported. 1t was no secret at
Manila that these returns we're held
back in many cases for several months,
and that many bulletins now received
Yannounce the death OF men killed
months ago. There is little or no
fighting now going on, but the bulle-
tins are sent out just the same, so as
not to alarm the country by large
number Of deaths at one time. \Essman
further says that General Otis is most
unpopular officer, while Lawton and
Funston are idolized. On several
occasions he had heard officers discuss
ing the policy of Otis and condemning
him for not allowing Lawton and Mac.
Arthur to carry out maneuvers which
they had well in hand. On one occa'
sion, near San Fernando, General
Lawton had the Filipinos
rounded up and in shape for capture
but instead OF re-inforcements with
which to take the offensive he received
orders to abandon the movement. i
was generally known and commented
upon that Otis had never been on The
firing line, and that he knew little o
the necessities of the strategic worl
required in carrying on operations BY
Lawton and Macarthur. He was als'
accused OF favoring his own regiment
the Twentieth. Essman did not appl.
for discharge, and he does not know
how the deal was engineered which en-
abled him to return home.
While Essman was on the steamship
Esmeralde, from Manila to Hongkong
he met Senator Beveridge, and durin
his talk Beveridge discovered that b
,(Essman) was fully advised as to tn
real condition of things and be deploi
ed it. Essman says the principal CON
plant came from the volunteers, VIII
have cheerfully done the most OF tn
campaigning and at great disadvar
, tage. The insurgents are largely arm
ed with Mauser rifles having an effet
tive range of 5000 yards, while the vo
unteers, with the exception Of % me
in each company, were armed wit
Springfelds. AS result the Amer
cans are shot before they get in rang
of the Filipinos. The volunteers firm
ly believe that the government woul
substitute the Krag-Jorgensen rifle
Otis would only recommend it.

POLICE STRIKE A SNAG.
Cannot Prosecute Women for Visit
ing Wine Rooms.

The police department is meeting with
a formidable obstacle in the attempt to
prosecute women for visiting wine rooms
in the person of Judge Hine, who main
tains that there is no law prohibiting
females from frequenting saloons, and
consequently discharges prisoners brought
before him on this charge without a
hearing. Judge Hine takes the stand that
both the district court and the municipal
court has often held that women have
as much right in a saloon as men, and
says it is useless for the police to con-
tinue bringing women into court on this
charge. He says he is in nowise at
tempting to handicap the police depart
ment, but that his action in the cases
brought before him is strictly in accord
ance with the law.
When two more women, Alice Inman
and May Burk, were arraigned before
the court yesterday, charged with visit
ing a wine room, Prosecuting Attorney
Finehout dug up an antique ordinance
prohibiting women of evil character from
appearing on the streets, riding in car
riages or being in public places, saying
the prisoners were to be prosecuted under
this ordinance. Judge Hine said the ord1-
nance did not apply to the cases before
the court, and even If this was not so the
ordinance was unreasonable, and conse-
quently invalid. The court then ordered
the case against the women stricken from
the calendar.
