Morphine FIEND NEAK DEATH
Minnie Miller Dying at the County
Jail From the Effects Of
a' Morphine

Minnie Miller. a mere girl of TO-. but
who, through the effects of morphine,
looks a woman of so, was taken to the
county Jail today in dying condi-
ton.
Hollo~. checked, with eyes bullying
from her head and with arms shriveled
to the bone, she was a pitiable sight TO
behold. Upon her left leg, below the
knee, fostering sore at least two inches
in diameter marked the meanness of
some powerful brute who had kicked her
in her helpless condition.
In an old tumble down shanty in an
alley near Galena and the Terrace, she
was found by an officer, weakly calling
for succor. A bed of rags composed her
resting place. Filth, vermin and fearful
fumes made her habitation almost un-
bearable to those who gathered her ten
derly in their arms and carried her forth,
undoubtedly to die.

house are to be opened by l.. P. Sand
ers, the receiver, at s o'clock this aft

1t was granted.
The proposed lease is to cover a period
of two years. provided the federal court
does not settle the title within that
time, but in case the matter is settled
the duration of the lease will depend

j. 0. Bender but it is understood that
the opera house company and individual
defendants to the action intend to take
the matter to a higher tribunal. In the

room where his wife was, and that the

dent Bull has now in his possession the
code of instructions impaired to the Sc

The platform of the Free society was
also added to the cumulative evidence of
anarchist conspiracy yesterday. This
document binds it's members together
to advocate the work for the destruc-
ton of the existing social order and con-
tlnues:
LAS in former times, no privileged class
ever relinquished it's tyranny, no more
can we take it for granted that the capi-
talists of the present day will forego
their privileges and their authority with
out cOmpulsion.
1T Is therefore self-evident that the
fight of the proletar, an against the up
per and the middle classes must be of a
violent character. and the more wage
conflicts can never lead to tho goal.
We show by numerous illustrations
that all attempts which have b.Sn made
liz the past to do away with tho exist
ing mOnstrous social system throU shout
peaceful means--for example, the ballot
box-have been unseless and will be so
in the future.
1--WE know, therefore, that the ruling
prerogatives and will make no conces-
sons to us. Under all these circum-
stanc there is only one remedy left
force.
"Our platform Is simple and divided as
follows:
81. Destruction of existing cas- domi-
nation through nexerable revolution in
international activity.
"2. The building of free society on
communistic organiza ions or produce

"3. Free exchange of equivalent pro-
duets through the productive organiza-
ton without jobbing and profit making.
"a Organization of the educational
system upon a non-rel gious scientific

"5 Equal rights for all without dis
tinction of sex or religion.
&C. The regulation of public affairs
through agreement between the indie
pendent communes and consederacies."

VIII Use Filipino Police.

Manila, July 25.-The conference be-
tween Adjutant General Corbin and
General Chaffee recently held here,
will probably result in radical econom-
ical and administrative reforms In the
army of occupation. 1t is estimated
that the total cost of maintaining the
American army in the Philippines can
be reduced by sixty per cent. In the
course of one year. The principal
change will be the reduction of the
present force to between 10000 and
10000 The abolishment of the pres
ent army districts is contemplated and
three brigades with permanent head
quarters at Manila. Dagupan and lloi-
10, or Cebu, will be instituted In their
stead. The troops will be concentrated
at three points selected, abandoning all
minor posts. The changes will result
in an enormous saving in transporta-
ton of supplies and the paying of re
tail barracks for the officers.
The insular constabulary Is now be-
ing ofticered. 1t will be maintained by
the insular government and is expect
ed to be amply able to preserve peace
and enforce the law. This constabu-
larry WILL as n general rule, be armed
with rifles, but its members have been
given 5000 shotguns and 1000 ponies,
relinQuished by the army.

difficulties the State Department had to
