FOUR IN ONE FAMILY DEAD.
Medical Authorities Seem to Suspect That
Poison Was Used In the Deaths of

Cataumet, Mass, Aug. 3l--It is
rather unusual for four persons in one
family to meet death here within one
month. Yet this occurred in the case
of Mr. and Mrs. Alden =. Davis and
their two d. -. Mrs Irving
Gibbs and Nh. FRY Gordon, the

place only few weeks ago.
Some one stated a rumor that
these persons, or at least two of
them, did not die from natural causes
The district attorney ordered an in

the state police force, was instructed
TO conduct an autopsy upon the bodies

San Francisco. Aug. 3.-COngress-

House committee on military al
fairs, who has arrived here from IA
five months tour of China, Japan

pressed with the possibilities OF the

If were young man | don I

brains and industry the islands open
vast prospect in most every line OF
business for one who has the grit to
go there and stick 10 it.
The mineral. agricultural and tim
Der resources Of these islands constl-
tute field for commercial enterprise
that Is practically unlimited. OF
course. the present conditions OF
brigandage make it exceedingly un-
safe for people to settle in the islands
away from the protection OF the mill
tarv posts. But the people. or she
great majority, desire peace and
safety and are doing all they can to
help the troops attain this end.
"Ofcourse. il j. impossible TO make
an Anglo-Saxon out of an Oriental;
therefore. the Filipino will probably
never be an American citizen in the
broad sense that is understood by
all that term conveys to the man
| born in the United States OF white
parents. But as soon as he gets a
sufficient education and becomes a
little more impregnated with our
ideas and loses some Of the ideas ac-
duired by 300 years association
with the Spaniard. the Filipino viii
be a citizen in spirit. patriotism. IN
dustrv and education. and will be
worthy of participating TO the fullest
extent in all the benefits OF this gov
eminent.
"Of course. we will have TO govern
them with firmneSa. as well as witt
kindness. Think that 40. 900 troops
is about the right number TO KEEP
