Japanese goods, recovered in a pawnshop,
and finally, as alleged, turned over to a
dealer other than the original owner, was
examined again today. He asserted that
Police Captain Price told him that he had
intended to divide with him the money he
expected TO get for the vase. A number OF
questions were asked to show that witness
was not actuated in testifying by any feel
ing against Capt. Price or moved by any
suggestion of Mr.. Moss.
John Henderson, precinct detective was
questioned regarding policy shops. He pro-
fessed not to know the location of any
such concerns. He did not know where the
headquarters of AL. Adams. the so-called
policy king, are. Finally Mr. Moss asked
Henderson:
His Memory Was Misty.

paid for his detail.
The witness said it was his duty to go
through the precinct looking for reputed
pool rooms and gambling places, but, like
the previous witness. he could not remem-
Der the addresses of any of these places.
To repeated questions as to the pToba BILE
number of suspicious splaces in the pre-
cinct Gilligan replied that he could not re-
member, but that the record would show.
He had never made an arrest in a pool
room.
AS to policy, he had never played it. had
never seen it played, didn't know whether
there was any in his precinct or not and
had never heard Of AL. Adams. He had
never played any gambling game.
Willing but Unable to Tell.
The witness professed a Willingness to
tell the committee all he knew about gam
blers and gambling in New York, but he
said he knew nothing about either.

there"
"A few. I arrested one"
Gilligan was excused, and Mr.. Mazet or
dered that a copy of his testimony and

from President Schurman's cable, that
the end Of the Filipino insuEreetion is
near, il is not thought to be time to
send any instructions TO Major General
Otis that would result in his pursuing a
less vigorous military policy. 1t is
feared that back of all the Filipino ne
gotiations for a suspension of HOSTILE
ties there may be merely a desire to
gain time for reorganization and for
strengthening entertainments. General
Otis is on the ground. He is membet
of the commission, and is kept informed
as to all the negotiations. 1T is the be-
lief of the authorities here that he viii
not continue hostilities a day beyond
the time required to bring about the
surrender of the insurgents
"Ohicials of the war department are
certain that General Otis is keeping up
the fighting. in spite of the favorable
outlook for peace. chiefly because he is
convinced that by so doing he will
bring about peace sooner and with a
smaller expenditure of life on both
sides than would be the case if he
should adopt any other policy.
1T is. therefore. probable that until
the FilipinOs actually yield, the cam
paign VIII be conducted with as much
vigor as if there were no indications
of an early peace"

DEMONSTRATION AT PROVO.
Students Celebrate Academy's Vic
tory In Salt Lake.
Especial Correspondence. }


Provo, May g. Tonight Provo was
reminded of the political demonstra-
tons in the early '9Os. The demonstra-
ton this evening was in honor of the
brigham Young academy victory last
night over the university. The stu
dents gathered at the college at duck,
and with torchlightss. horns a-blowing,
drums beating, bells ringing and voices
shouting, they marched through the
center of town, drawing in two car
riages the victorious contestants of yes
terday. In front of the court house a
bonfire was lighted. The procession
circled round it, and for a few minutes
the forms of Leo Bird and Ed Roe were
silhouetted against the blaze of light.
They stood up in the carriages and
spoke, but what they said was not
heard three feet away, there was such
a continual uproar. Miss Pike was III
one carriage, but did not attempt to
speak.
From this point the line of march
vas taken up again, the procession go
ing down ] street to Miss Pixies resi-
dence, then back through town.
The streets were lined with people.
and the enthusiasm of the students
spread till, as they marched along,
cheers greeted them from all sides.

ONLY A LIFE PENALTY.
Punishment of Man Who Killed His
Five Children.

Hutchinson, Kan, May 5.-John
Moore, who in March last cut the
threats of his five children, crushed the
skulls with Ratchet and then set fire
to the house in order to conceal his
crime, was convicted today of murder
in the first degree, which means life
term in the penitentiary.
The murderer pleaded apoplectic in
sanity. Immediately after the jury had
returned its verdict of guilty, the pre-
siding judge received letter from a
physician in Arkansas City, Kan, who
had previously attended Moore. and
who wrote that the man was undoubt-
eddy afflicted with apoplectic insanity.
This letter will probably be used as the
basis of an application for new trial.
AS he was being taken from the court
room to the county Jail Moore broke
away from the sheriff and ran. The
officer fired five shots without effect,
but continued the pursuit, and a few
minutes later captured the convict in
the house of his father-in-law.

NOT THE FLAG, BUT POLICY
LAUGHLIN EXPLAINS ANTI-IM-
PERIALISTIC REMARKS.
Does Not Attack the Stars and
Stripes, But the Conduct of the
Administration In the Philippines

Chicago, May professor ]. Lau-
renee Laughlin of the Chicago univer-
sity, one of the speakers at the anti
expansion meeting in this city last
Sunday, has sent to the Times-Herald
q reply to the editorial criticisms of a
portion of his remarks. He says:
1.-The phrase used in my speech,
There Tin the Philippines) the flag is
symbol of tyranny and butchery,
has caused more or less criticism
throughout the country. 1 used the
word tyranny because the flag is there
wrongly made to represent an Ameri-
can policy of conquest for the Subjuga-
ton of an inferior race against their
will by a great and powerful nation.
] said 'butchery' because the indis-
eliminate slaughter of natives Icy Of
fensive military operations in an I'M
holy war of subjugation can be CALLED
by no other name.
Il am not attacking the flag, but a
policy-a policy which makes our
honored flag stand in the Philippines
for conquest and subjugation. | am
more truly loyal TO the flag in demand
ing that it should be used only as a
symbol of liberty than those who are
willing to see the flag wave as an en-
blem of expansion and conquest.
1T is strange that thOughtless intol-
erance can go so far as not to distin-
guish between my loyalty TO the flag
and my loyalty to a policy which dis
nonors the flag. l wish to be under
stood that l yield to no man in my
admiration for the bravery of the men
and skill of the officers in the army
and navy"

Thomas. The first shot struck him
near the heart. One Mckee, colored,
then took a hand in the shooting, as
there were seven shots in the body of
Thomas.
Carter received two shots, one near
the right shoulder. and another in the

Wardner, Ida, May 5.-State Auditor
Sinclair has been engaged this after

those prisoners known to be innocent.
In the arrests at Burke last night it
was impossible to make very nice dis

the men they found. About fifteen were
thus liberated. There are now in the
barn used as a prison about $50 men.
At the coroner's inquest this after
noon James Il. Sovereign was on the
stand. and was requested to identify
certain articles which have been print
ed in his paper recently. The inquest
is conducted privately.

Contrary to expectations. it was
found that but few had escaped from
