He Holds that All Civilized People in
Our Island Possessions Are Citi-

NOT A LEGAL ARGUMENT
But A POPULAR DISCUSSION OF
VIEWS RECENTLY EXPRESSED.
Provisions of All Treaties Subject to
the Constitution, and None
Can Impair 1t.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Dec. H.-General
Harrison delivered a lecture this evening
before the Students Lecture Association
of Michigan University on "The Relation
of the Annexeu seiritories and Their Civ
ilized Inhabitants TO the United States
1t was, as General Harrison declared. not
intended to be a legal argument on ques-
tons brought into discussion by the Porto
Rican BILL but rather popular discussion
of some of the views that have been ex.
pressed in relation to our annexed terri
tories. The lecturer declared that We had
done something out of line with our his
torical precedents-not in the fact of ex-
pansion, but in the character of it. He said
We had taken over peoples, rather than
lands, as heretofore. He held that the civ
ilized habitants of the territories were
citizens of the United States, and that the
revenue provisions Of the Constitution, re-
lating to taxation for federal purposes. ap-
piled TO the territories.
The occasion for the recent departure
from precedent was found. he said, espe-
cially in the character of the inhabitants
OF the Philippines. AS to Porto Rico and
Hawaii. there would probably have been no
occasion for treating them otherwise than
we have usually done. The competition of
cur home products and especially the free
dom of the Filipinos to settle in the States.
were causes Of alarm. These consdera-
tions, he said, might very appropriately
have had influence when the question of
taking over the Philippines was before us.
but it was now too late.
General Harrison argued that the pro-
visions of the Spanish treaty and of all
treaties were subject to the Constitution,
and could not impair it, and if these
islands became part of the United States
in the sense of the Constitution, their peo-
pie became citizens. and the revenue clause.
which was especially under discussion in
the Porto Rican case, applied. He argued
that the limitations in the Constitution on
the powers of Congress, whether expressed
in the affirmative or negative form, applied
to the exercise of that power in all places,
and that the very object in the section re-
quiring duties to be uniform throughout
the United States, which was to prevent
Congress from establishing anywhere un-
der the jurisdiction of the United States
favored ports, would be thwarted, If for
eign goods might be admitted TO Porto
Rico free, and thence into the United
States free He especially dwelt on the
liberty clauses of the Constitution as nec-
essarily applicable to all civilized peoples
owing allegiance to the United States.

WORK FOR CRIMINAL COURT.
Having OF Students That Goes Beyond
the Limit of a Prank.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14-Frank Lust, a stu
dent in the Northwestern University Acad-
emy, was hazed last night by twelve stu
dents. He was taken from the university
gymnasium, where he was practicing, to
secluded spot on the lake shore. He was
blindfolded and his clothes removed. A
coat of black ink and soft soap was then
daubed over his entire body. After the
treatment OF ink and soap the students
lined UP and compelled him to run the
gauntlet. He was passed from one to an
other in the crowd and each one took oc-
casion to slap him about the body. After
fifteen minutes of this kind of treatment
he was wrapped UP in blankets and taken
to his home, on the Sheridan road. The
young man was nearly overcome from ex-
posure and from the hard treatment he
had received, and tainted while being taken
to his home. The students, however, man
aged to revive him before he was taken
into his room. Last week Lust received a
threatening letter signed by several ficti-
tious names, I'm which he was asked to
watch out for dire treatment. All the haz-
ing band wore handkerchiefs over the lower
parts of their faces. The clothing they
wore was old. but, despite this fact. it is
thought the victim recognized several of
his tormentors.
This is the second student at the acad-
emy that has been hezed within the past
week. Last Friday night F. H Sand
meyer was visited in his room by half a
dozen students and treated to a coat of

1t was stated that the committee had
been unanimous in its action, with the ex-

action except the absolute and uncon-
