McARTHUR'S METHODS.

Throws Responsibility Upon subordInates
and Holds Them Responsible for Results
General Macarthur has demonstrated
that he believes in letting the chiefs OF
bureaus do their share of work. He
has handed over to the staff officers of
the department many matters which
has formerly been considered in the
governor-generals Office, giving them
discretion in the settlement of details
and only holding them responsible for
results. One of his first official acts
was to place the issuance of passes,
such as permits, to go through the line
or to be on the streets of Manila after
10 o'clock, in the hands of the provost
marshal. During the past ten months
General Otis's aide, Lieutenant Stan
ley, has signed 43, 900 of these permits
and large proportion of the applica-
tions had been personally considered
by General Otis.

less, outside Of the war office kilograms
no one knows what is going on.
South of Kroonstad there is a wide
gap. The railway is only partially
defended, and as General Kelly-Kenny

northward, the assumption is that
there is danger of second raid. The
loss of the Derbyshires is estimated at
from 600 to 700 men.

CARPENTERS HALL HAUNTED.
Peyton Randolph's Ghost and the Spirits
of Prisoners WALL

of Prisoners Walk.
According to an aged attendant the
ghosts OF a long-dead past troop OF
nights In famous old Carpenters hall
which has stood at Philadelphia since
1924. Peyton Randolph, In wig and
brave gown, stalks abroad at times.
It is asserted, and In uneasy prone
made visits the halls in which he sat
as one OF the original company. In
addition, 1t has now just been brought
TO light that scores of prisoners died
OF disease and starvation in the garret
and In the cells of the building during
the revolution. Mrs. Catherine Alice
Hirons has been attendant at Carpen
ter's hall for many years, and her
family have been caretakers of the old
ediflce for generations. She is author
ity for the statement that spooks OF
the dead and almost forgotten past
come to Carpenters hall to tread an
uneasy and fitful measure. The two
places In which mysterious sounds are
heard are the cellar and garret.
Knocks and footsteps startled her and
when she went to investigate she was
unable to find anything. These pc
culiar noises are of almost nightly oc-
currence. 1t would have been impossi-
BILE for any one to have come in the
hall and gone out again and so the
reasonable conclusion In Mrs. Hiron's
mind was ghosts.

General Otis, In an interview, saws
the Filipinos are crazy for educa.

overflowing and every available mer-
lean capable of teaching school is
pressed into service. Already the gov.

The fact is, said General Otis, the

to become a part OF the United States.
and this desire Is the more apparent
as they become the better scquain ted
