New SWindIe.

A swindle says the Charlottesville
Democrat is reported from various
parts of the country of which farm
ers will do we'll to beware. The agents
offer a churn which they claim will
largely increase the yield of butter
from any given quantity of milk, and
they offer to prove this assertion.
Chemicals, it appears. are slipped in
to the milk andcreamw when purchasers
back is turned, and the butter comes
more quickly and in greater volume
than it usually does on the premises
invaded. OF course the resultant mass
is not pure butter, but the agent col
lects his money and departs before
the fraud is discovered.

TO PURIFY MANILA COURTS.
Taft Commission Plans to End judicial
CORRUPTION.

corruption.
The administration OF Manila's
civil courts by Philippine magistrates,
which has long been scandalous, is
o attracting public attention more
than ever and has been brought to the
Taft commissions attention, with re-
quests for ratification. The courts
are composed of four Justices Of the
Peace and four Primary Courts. All
the magistrates are Filipinos, and
Developments have proved that the
incumbents are utter failures as adj
ministrators of justice.
The dissatisfaction with and COM
plants against the existing courts are
unending. Natives and foreigners
dread litigation, knowing the worth
less less of the courts.
Charges have been filed and evil
dence is in the hands of the authori-
ties which, it acclaimed, will show that
the magistrates have been guilty of
the grossest corruption and malfeas-
ance in office. One magistrate was
recently suspended on suspicion of
criminal abuse OF power and attempt
to defraud. The monthly collection
of fines of the four native justices is
estimated at $1,000.
The amount collected by the Primary
Courts for the same period is much
greater. The eight magistrates per-
sistently ignore the regulations estab-
lished by the authorities for the
supervision of commitments and the
accountability of moneys. They de-
posi-: less than 500 monthly and are
alleged to appropriate the balance of
their collections.
1t is further claimed that the mag
istrates are in collision with the
native police in compromising offenses
on the basis of leash for freedom
and that iu many instances magistrates
who committed men to Jail over a year
ag are now liberating them without
trial, the explanation being the effect
iveness of the habeas corpus and the
designation of a special officer to IN
vestigate the cases, resulting in the
freedom of many persons illegally
committed as prisoners.
1t is said that over fifty esta blished
instances where prisoners have bought
their freedom from the guards con-
veying them between the court room
and the Jail.
Serious charges of favoritism have
lately been made against the cival
branch of Manila's Supreme Court.
The members of the Taft commission
are disguised with the condition of
the court and intend to substitute
honest Americans from the United
States for the native magistrates.
Americans having a knowledge of
Spanish are preferred, but they are
the hardest to secure. The commission
will then institute the drastic reforms
needed 'in the case of the entire
judiciary.

times In the last round, when he made
this play for wind. Referee Lew Bailey
awarded the fight to McCloskey. Mar
