Detroit, Mich, Feb. ga fire which
started Sunday night in the plant of

MURDER AND SUICIDE.

almost as one of his own family. AS a

seems, after many repulses, decided
that if he could not possess the woman
he would take her out of the world with

TO USE LAWToN's SCHEME.
Before His Death He Had Worked
Out Plan to Create Force Of
Native Police.

Washington, Feb. 26. - Before his
death, and after. giving much thought
to the subject, Gen. Lawton had
worked out plan for the maintenance
OF order IN the Philippines, after the
close OF actual war, which had been
submitted to Gen. Otis, and is presum-
ably the plan which will commend it.
self to the war department when the
time comes to replace the regular
troops by other forces competent to
preserve order.
Gen. Lawton's idea was to create a
force OF native police, whose officers,
at hrst In all grades, and finally, as
conditions improve, in the upper grades
alone, shall all be Americans. Some
such force as this is now successfully
applied in Cuba by Gen. Wood under
the cognomen of rural police. Owing
to the racial differences among the
inhabitants Of the Philippines, it was
Gen. Lawton's idea that there would
be no difficulty in securing police who
should be proof against disloyalty in
the districts, apart from those of their
nativity, to which they might besas-
signed. That this theory was we'll
founded is indicated by the successful
use OF the Macabebe tribe by Gen. Law
ton himself, and by Gen. Young later
on in his chase after Aguinaldo in the
north of Luzon. The natives, by their
acquaintance with the country, and
the inhabitants, would be of great as
sistance in running down lawbreakers.
Because of the similarity of feature
and figure of the Tagals, the American
troops have had great difficulty in dis
tinguishing one individual from an.
other; in telling friend from foe.
