CORRUPT FILIPINO JUDGES,
Admin ration of Justice q Purely
Mercenary Affair.


A dispatch from Manila, dated Oct 9. via
Hong Kong. Oct. II. says: The admnis-
tration of Manila's civil courts by Filipino
magistrates. which has long been scandal
Gus, Is now attracting public attention
more than ever, and has been brought to
tho Taft commissions attention. with re-
quests for ratification.
The courts are composed Of four Justices
of the peace and four primary courts. The
magistrates are all Fflipinos, and develop
ments have proved that the incumbents
are utter failures as administrators Of
justice. The dissatisfaction with and COM
plants against the existing courts
ending. Natives and foreigners dread liti-
cation. knowing the facts In the case.
Charges have been filed and every evidence
is in the hands OF the authorities which
1t is claimed, will show that the magis-
trates have been guilty Of the greatest cor
ruption and malfeasance 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 JUS
tices is estimated at $4,000. The amount
collected by the primary courts for the
same period is much greater. The eight
magistrates persistently ignore the regula-
tions established by the authorities for the
supervision Of commitments and the ac-
countability of moneys. They deposit less
than hundred dollars monthly, and are
alleged to appropriate the balance Of their
collections.
It n further claimed that the magts-
trates are in colnsion with the native po-
lice in compromising offenses on the basis
Of cash for freedom, and that in many
instances magistrates who committed men
to jail over a year ago are now tberating
them without trial. the explanation being
the effectiveness Of a habeas corpus and the
designation Of a special officer to investi-
gate the cases, resulting In the freedom
Of many persons Illegally committed as
prisoners 1t Is said there are over fifty
established 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 civil branch Of
Manila's supreme court.
The members of the Taft commission are
disgusted with the condition OF the courts.
and intend to Substitutes honest Americans
from the United States for the native
magistrates Americans having knowl-
edge Of Spanish are preferred, but they
are the hardest to secure The commission
win then institute the drastic reforms
needed in the case Of the entire judiciary.
