Filipino Magistrates Found Corrupt No Olhtr
Filipinos Need Apply.
(By the Associated Press.)


Manila, Saturday, Oct 6th-(Via Hong
Kong, Oct. 11th)-The administration of
Manila's civil courts by Filipino magis-
trates which has long been scandalous, is
now attracting public attention more than
ever and has been brought to the Taft
Commissions attention with requests for
rectifcation. The courts are composed
of four justices of the peace and four
primary courts The magistrates are all
Filipinos and developments have proved
that the incumbents are utter failures as
administrators of justice. The dissatis-
faction with and complaints against the
existing courts are amending. Natives
and foreigners dread litigation, knowing
the facts in the case. Charges have been
filed and evidence is in the hands of
the authorities. which. it is claimed, will
show that the magistrates have been
guilty of the greatest corruption and mall
feasance in office. One magistrate was
recently suspended on suspicion of GRIM
inal abuse of power and attempt to de-
fraud. The monthly collection of fines
of the four native justices is estimated at
$4,000. The amount collected by the prim-
airy courts for the same period is much
greater. The eight magistrates persis-
tently ignore the regulations established
by the authorities for the supervision of
commitments and the accountability of
monies. They deposit less than a hun
dred dollars monthly and are alleged to
appropriate the balance of their coIlec-
tions.
1t is further claimed that the magis-
trates are in collision with the native
police in compromising offences on the
basis of "cash for freedom" and that in
many instances magistrates who commit
ted men to Jail over year a1@p are now
liberating them without trial. the eX-
PLANTATION being the effectiveness of a
habeas corpus and the designation of a
special officer to investigate the cases,
resulting in the freedom Of many per-
sons illegally committed as prisoners.
1t is said there are over fifty established
instances where prisoners have bought
their freedom from the guards conveying
them between the court room and the
jail
Serious charges of favoritism have late
ly been made against the civil branch of
Manila's Supreme court.
The members of the Taft Commission
are Disguised with the condition of the
courts, and intend to substitute honest
Americans from the United States for the
active magistrates.
Americans having a knowledge of Span
ish are preferred but they are the hard
est to secure. The commission will then
institute the drastic reforms needed in
the case of the entire judiciary.

SEARCHING FOR THAT 5000.
Mysterious Disappearance of Half the Amount
Enclosed in a Letter.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 11.-Gustay Eek
stein, a New York representative of a
Savannah, Ca, wholesale cotton house
and also one of the partners in it, is
trying to find out what has become of
$4,000 which he claims was in an en-
velope sent by express marked $1,000
but said to have contained double that
sum when it was dispatched On be-
ing opened at its destination only
$4,000, it is declared, was forthcoming.
One day last week Mr.. Eckstein went
to the Central National Bank where
he is depositor and drew a check for
$4,000 asking the cashier Mr. Young
for bills of large denomination. He
was given nine one thousand dollar
bills and two five dunrded dollar bills.
Then he asked the cashier to have
them put in a large envelope as he
wanted to esnd the money by express
This was done and the parcel was
handed to him.
Then, according to the story told by
the cashier, the cotton merchant took
a pen and marked the envelope $4,000.
That done, he returned it to the cash
Ter and requested him to forward it to
Savannah along with the rest of the
bank business. The envelope was di-
rected to Eckstein's brother who is at
the head OF the Savannah house. Mr..
Younk took it and Mr.. Eckstein left
the bank.
At the close of business Eckstein's
package marked $4,000 was taken to
an office of the Adams Express Com
pany by a messenger of the bank. A
receipt was issued for it as marked
and it was forwarded, together with
the other packages of money that had
come from the same bank.
Nothing was heard Of the matter un-
til late Tuesday night and then Gustav
Eckstein got q telegram from his
brother in Savannah saying that the
envelope had been received but it con-
tanned only $4,000. 1t is said that.
Gustav Eckstein had written his
brother of the transaction and that
the envelope would contain 100000.
Mr.. Eckstein has put the matter into
the hands of his attorney.

ciate Real Merit in New Medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are dis
covery of great value to the medical pro-
fession and the public. They are an un-
failing specific in all cases of dyspepsia
and disordered digestion.
Almost everybodys digestion is dis
ordered more or less, and the commonest
thing to do for it is to take some one OF
the many so-called blood purifiers, which
in many cases are merely strong cathar-
tics. Such things are not needed. II the
organs are in a clogged condition, they
need only a little help and they will
right themselves. Cathartics irritate the
sensitive Innings of the stomach and
bowels and. often do more harm than
good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in con-
dition to be readily digested and assim-
Hated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this
perfectly. They partly digest what is
eaten and give the stomach just the help
it needs They stimulate the secretion
and excretion of the digestive fluids and
relieve the congested condition of the
glands and membranes. They put the
whole digestive system in condition to do
it's work When that is done you need
take no more tablets, unless you eat what
does not agree with you. Then take one
or two tablets-give them needed help
and you will have no trouble.
It's a common sense medicine and a
common sense treatment, and it will cure
every time. Not cnIv cure the disease,
but cure the cause. Goes about it in a
perfectly sensible and scientific way.

A Great Army Asked For Before the Philip
pine War Began.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated PreSS.)
Battle Creek, Mich, Oct. 11.-Despite
his arduous labors of yesterday, Mr..
Bryan was astir early this morning.
He made the first of sixteen speeches
on the program for the day at Hast
ings, beginning at quarter past seven,
and Notwithstanding the early hour
he had good audience. The second
speech of the morning was made at
the little town of Nashville. Mr.
Bryan had only five minutes, and he
contented himself with suggesting a
series of questions to Republicans.
These are as follows:
IF the trust is a good thing, why
did the Republican platform denounce
trusts?"
IF the trust is a bad thing, why did
the Republican administration cause
more trusts to be organized than dur
ing all the previous history of the
country?"
eff some trusts are good and some
bad, can you tell the difference between
a good one and bad one?"
DO you know of any good monop-
oily in private hands?"
do you know of any man good
enough to stand at the head of mo-
nopoly and determine the price of that
which others are to use?"
''Do you know of any good reason
why the army should be made 1907
000?"
"Would you be willing to make the
army 100000 if the Republican leaders
said so, or a half million if they want
ed it?"
what is your title to the Filipino
Ibid you buy him or did you ges
him by force?"
do you think you can buy the right
to govern people,
'What are you going to do with the
Filipino when you get him."
'Are you going to kill him."
''Well, YOU cannot do that because
YOU would lose your trade argument.
You have got to let him live if you
trade with him. Dead men don't buy
things. If he lives, is he to be citi-
zen or subject? Are you going to have
Congressmen from the Philippines,
and Senators and electors? II not are
YOU going to have subjects? When
did YOU decide that it was wise for
us to have half an empire and half a
republic? When did you decide that
a colonial policy was good? Shall we
force upon Porto Ricans, because we
have the power, that which we would
not bear ourselves? What are you 60
ing to do with the Philippine ques-
tion?"
At Battle Creek Mr.. Bryan spoke in
a large park adjoining the Michigan
Central depot and had one of the best
audiences of the tour.
At Albion Mr.. Bryan replied to Gov
ernor Roosevelt's assertion that the
increase in the army was made neces-
sary by the war in the Philippines,
saving:
"The President in his message of
December 1898 asked for an army of
100000, two months before a shot was
fired in the Philippine Islands. and a
Republican House of Representatives
passed the bill raising the army to
100000. And it did it, after the treaty
was signed with Spain and before an
arm was raised against this country
