Didn't Want.

Oklahoma City. 0. T., Aug. 2s.-In the
probate court this morning DR.. A H.
Iseman was bound over to appear before
the grand jury in the sum of $1,000 on
a charge OF open and notorious adultery.
The examination was had on the charge
Of bigamy preferred by the elderly woman
who claimed to be his wife and who came
here from st. Louis and found him living
with young woman at the Angelo, and
after the testimony Of the three witnesses
that answered the subpOenas was heard,
upon motion of d. c. Lewis. attorney
Tor the defendant, he was released on
the charge Of bigamy.
The examination was called at II o'clock
and a motion was made by the attorney
for the defense asking for a change of
venue on the grounds that the judge was
biased and prejudiced against his client,
and would not give him a fair and impair
tial hearing. Mr.. Lewis contended that
the motion must be granted. but after
q consideration of the statutes, Judge
Allen overruled the motion and testimony
was taken. Witnesses testified to the
statements that were made by DR.. Ise-
man before and after his arrest as to his
relations with the two women and to the
fact that he had lived at the Angelo
with the young woman as man and wife,
and to the fact that he had acknowledged
in the presence of the sheriff and the
elderly woman that she was his only wife
and upon this statement of facts the
county attorney demanded that he be
held to await the action of the grand
jury.
8Ir. Lewis. for the defendant, claimed
that the only person who could prose-
cute the doctor for this offense. if It
had been committed. was his wife and
that as both women We're not in court,
there was no one that could legally pros
ecute him after he was indicted. Judge
Allen started to state to DR.. Iseman
what he thought about the maner of his
living here. and he was interrupted by
Mr. Lewis, who said: DIR. Iseman tells
me that he don't want any lecture. that
all he wanted in this court was a change
OF venue
Judge Allen said in reply: Il viii con
strue the law for DR.. Iseman without any
help, and 7 want to state that while he
is going before another tribunal under
the law. that if I had it in my power
would give him the limit of the law.
Society should be protected from such men
and am only sorry that ! have not the
power to make the punishment all that
the law says it shall be on the conviction

win be held in the sum Of S1.000 to appear
before the grand jury, and a good bond
win be required, and # it is furnished.

the possibilities of the new American
possessions in the Orient. He says:
If I was a young man I do not know
where 1 would rather go than to the
Philippines. For a man of brains and
Industry the islands open a vast pros
pect in almost every line of business for
one who has the grit to so there and
stick to it. The mineral, agricultural and
timber resources of those islands consti-
tute a field for commercial enterprise
that is practically unlimited. OF course
the present conditions of brigandage
make it exceedingly unsafe for people
TO settle in the islands away from the
protection of the military posts. But the
people. or a great majority, desire peace
and safety and are doing all they can to
help the troops 10 obtain this end.
"Of course it is 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 acquired by a 800 years association
with the Spaniard, the Filipino viii be a
citizen in spirit, patriotism, industry and
education, and viii be worthy of partici
pating ii the fullest extent in all the ben
efits of this government.
"Of course we will have to govern them
with firmness as wen as with kindness.
I think that 10000 troops is about enough
TO keep there for some pears TO come"
