with almost insufferable grief the
deadly progress Of the fever In the
other two little ones Florence was
the first one to be released from her
sufferings, the summons having come
for her at q late hour last night Then
after the sad vigil OF the night hours,
the young spirit OF Clarence Alfred
took its flight.
No friends were permitted to enter
the sorrow stricken home to tighten the
woe on the hearts Of the parents, but
this morning company Of sympathiz-
ing neighbors gathered across the
street from the home and sang few
songs that the bereaved ones might
know they were not forgotten. Two
little graves were dug at the city ceme-
terry under the direction of Joseph VIII
liam Taylor; the little brother and sis
ter were laid side by side. The graves
were dedicated by Bishop Seldom Of
the Fifth ward.
The hearts Of the parents are torn
between the grief for the ones that

FiLlPINOs NEED TRAINING.
So Testiiles Gov TAFT Before Senate
Investigation Committee.

Washington, Feb. lj--The hearing of
Gov. Taft on the Philippines. by the
senate committee on Philippines began
today with series of questions by
Senator Patterson In regard to the 1T
ness OF the BilipinOs for Jury duty. Mr..
Patterson asked whether the native
population on which the voting fran
chlsc is bestowed could not be trusted
to do July duty, The gternor replied
IN the negative, saying they are 80 used
to corruption In the administration OF
justice that they could not be trusted.
They need to be trained" he said,
ITO have examples, they are not ready
for Jury duty
Referring to the code procedure In the
Islands, Gov, Taft said In reply TO q
question by Senator Culberson that It
Is an American code rather than a
Spanish code.
Under the Spanish regime, said Gov
TAFT, the courts were not only sluggish
but VIGOROUSLY corrupt and the first
courts established by Gen. Otis were
no better. Under Spanish rule there
was no substantial denial Of justice.
Referring to the petition Of the Fed
eral party Gov. Taft said all the cases
Of Imprisonment referred TO- and they
wtt q for military and not civil oflenses.
Practically, there are no civil proseou-
tons for political offenses at this time
