In closing his report General MacAr-
thur after speaking Of the establishment
of a representative form of government
in the islands, says:
I'm the light of existing conditions it
possibility of such future for the islands
especially so at present. and for many
years TO come the necessity of a large
American military and naval force is too
apparent to admit Of discussion. On the
other hand, however. there are many
encouraging conditions to sustain such a
conviction. For example, in the Philip
pines there is no dynasty to destroy, no
organized system Of feudal laws to eradi-
cate. no principles inconsistent with re-
publicansm which had solidly insinuated
themselves into the national life to DIS
place; no adverse aspects of nature to
overcome. On the contrary nature which
is exuberant, balmy and generous, has
nourished into existence several millions
of sensitive and credulous people, with
out allegiance to any existing institutions,
but animated by certain inchoate ideas
and aspirations which by some unfortun-
ate perversion Of thought they conceive
to be threatened by America. These peo-
pie, fortunately are intelligent and fleXi-
bic and probably will yield quickly and
with absolute confidence to tuition and
advice. when thoroughly informed of
American institutions and purposes"

DIVORCES BY FRAUD.
a Police Raid Shows How the schemers Con
Quoted the Work.
lBy lac Associated Press. J

New York, Nov. 10.-The authorities
are still vigorously probing into the mat
ter of the alleged divorce mill" which
was brought to public notice by the ar
rest yesterday Of Attorney Henry Zeimer,
Frank Wilson, Miss Mary H. Tompkins
and Mrs. Byrde c. Herrick.
1t is asserted that Lawyer Zeimer ar
ranged divorce cases SO that decree
could be obtained On evidence given by
Miss Tompkins and Wilson and that Mrs.
Herrick was one OF the persons who
proflted by this evidence, which was got
ten up for the occasion. Zeimer and Will
son spent last night in the Tombs in de-
fault of $4,000 bail They are still pro-
testing their innocence.
Recorder Golf this evening issued a
warrant for the search Of the offices
occupied by Zeimer. The raid revealed
the fact that the ramifcations of fraud
reach all over the country, and even to
England, Porto Rico and South America,
documents showing that the conspirators
had handled thousands of cases within
the last three years and that money had
been poured in to them in steady
stream. On an average, SO was paid for
each decree, and in some cases as high
as $3.50. There were photographs of a
great number of women, some of them
in improper positions The raid was
directed by Assistant District Attorneys
Unger and Gordon, who were accom-
panied by Detective Sergeants Cuff and
Mcknight.
The charges are that the scheme was
operated thus:
An advertisement appeared in the
papers which read:
Divorces quickly; desertion, non-sup-
port, insanity separation papers, acct
dent, breach Of promise. Consultations
free; confidential. Attorney Madison, 2S9
Broadway"
1t is said that when a patron answered
an advertisement he or she was assured
that by agreeing to collision, an absolute
divorce could be obtained. In the case
of q woman, she was told that a core
spondent would be produced at the ref
eree's hearing who would swear to a
statutory violation with the unsuspect-
ing husband. male witness would also
be produced to clinch the evidence.
When the applicant was a man, the
man and woman periurer changed places,
the man swearing to the criminal act
with 4he defendant and the woman APP
pearing as a servant or seamstress OF
chambermaid who was conveniently about
to furnish conclusive evidence OF the un-
faithfulness.
