Considerable opposition has developed in
different sections of the county to the bill
recently introduced In the legislature by

and economical as can be devised and that
there is no good reason for change.

inquire into the advisability of admitting
young lady students from Lee School to the
Washington High School, Of which Theo-
dore H. Ficklin, A. NJ, is principal. Up to
this time only boys have been admitted in
this school, In support Of the resolution. It
was set forth that in the public school sys-

higher instruction for girls. and, further
more, 1t was observed that large propor-
ton Of the local teachers were educated iE

Army Reduced to $4,000 Men.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-It is said at
the War Department that the departure
of the Hancock and Sherman from Manila
with the Ninth and Nineteenth regiments
of infantry reduces the army in the Philip
pines to less than $4,000 men, and that
within the next few months the strength
of the effective military force in the archi-
pelago will be still further reduced to less
than q, 900 by the withdrawal of the Thir-
tenth, Sixteenth, Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-fifth regiments of infantry and
der orders to return TO the United States
Special interest attaches TO the return
home of the Fighting Ninth" because of
the fine achievements of that regiment in
China and the Philippines, in both of which
countries il saw the hottest kind of active
service on the firing line.

DENIED BY BUENCAMINO.
Stories of CrueIties by American Sol
diers Are Not True.

WASHINGTON, May 29-Gen. Filipe
Buencamino. OF Manila. formerly Aguinal-
dos secretary of war, called on the Presi-
dent to-day in company with Secretary
Root. General Buencamino was taken
prisoner by the United States troops at
the time Aguinaldo's mother was captured.
and since that time has been at the head
Of the Federal Filipino party. He told
the President to-day that his mission to
Washington was to correct some OF the
false reports that have been put I'm circula-
ton with a view to discrediting the work
of both the civil government under Judge
Taft and the army. The civil government,
he told the President, was doing a really
wonderful work for good in the islands.
and il had been ably seconded by the army.
The stories Of crueties perpetrated by our
soldiers, he said. were either wholly un-
true or greatly exaggerated. The army had
conducted itself In a way TO elicit praise
from all right-thnking Fiipinos, and this.
too, in the face OF the greatest tempta-
tons and provOcatiOns. Judge Taft's com
mission had the entire confidence OF all
rightly-disposed natives, he said, and IL
was General Buencamno's hope that Judge
Taft might be induced TO remain an in
definite time at the head Of the civil gov
eminent. The FilipinOs, he said, love Judge
Taft, for he has never once deceived them
and they know him 10 be their friend. The
general will appear before the Philippines
committee of the Senate within the next
few DAYS.

been much like blind giant. 1t was strong
enough TO cope with the enemy but was
not able to see where the danger was. The
policy had been necessary TO protect life
ano property and he did not see how any
other policy could have been successful.
Replying to Senator Beverage, the wit
ness said the people were fed and given
medical supplies and the sanitation Of their
camps was looked after. The American
camps I'm the Philippines no more could
be compared to Weyler's reconcentrado
camps in Cuba than mercy could be COM
pared to cruelty.
A number of questions were asked by
Senator Culberson concerning General
Bells policy i'm comparison with that of his
predecessor. General Sumner.
General Sumner" said the witness, was
not allowed TO take as severe measures as
he deemed necessary. because he told me
that he was severely handicapped by his
instructions from department headquar-
ters" Continuing, he said that neither
Sumner nor Bell had been responsible for
the policy pursued, each was subject TO
the orders of department commanders. "If
Sumner had remained in command he
said, "he would have been required TO carry
out the same policy as Bell did" He sup
posed he said, that the orders had origi-
mated with General Chaffee, but he did not
understand that the orders were written.
The policy had been justified by the fact
that all the people congregated had now
returned to their homes. and on the 4th of
July the provinces of Batangas and Laguna
were to be restored to civil rule.
Referring to the policy Of burning viii
lagos. the witness said that indiscriminate
burning was not countenanced by the rules
of war and that the practice of burning
the property of noncombatants was mex
cusable except in cases in which IL WAS
impossible to separate it from that of hos
tiles and in cases in which the enemy was
making use of il.
Colonel Wagner said he had no personal
knowledge of the torture of natives in the
Philippines, but he gave several instances
in which he had heard reports OF torture.
In most of these it was found on examina-
or exaggerated.

W. A. CLARK is THRIFTY
STORY OF A MILLIONAIRE WHOSE
OyERCOAT WAS EXCHANGED.
Forced the Police to Raise 800 to
Appcase His Senatorial Vengeance
"A Correspondents decoration.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


WASHINGTON, May 29.-This is a story
of thrift. 1t concerns William Andrews
Clark, of Montana, the richest man in the
United States Senate. Some time in the late
winter ne went to the Corcoran Art Gal
lery 10 view the models showing the plans
for the harmonious Improvement of the
District of Columbia. He is a member Of
the Senate committee dealing with this
subject and Is deeply interested. He laid
aside his overcoat and when he was about
TO leave found that some one had left an
old and very undesirable coat, taking his
fine and handsome one to wear in it's place.
The fact that Mr.. Clark is rich. having
steady income OF more than million dol
lars a month. did not prevent his being very
angry. lie was just as mad a street-car
conductor or any other person with an or
binary income would have been. He made
violent protests to the policeman and in
sisted that his overcoat should be found
This was apparently fair demand, but the
policeman could not help him. This seemed
so ridiculous 10 the richest of United
States senators that he carried the matter
10 the chief OF police.
Major Sylvester was at time a news
paper correspondent who has become a very
efficient head of the police department. He
did his best, but could not recover the coat
Mr. Clark insisted that his coat was worth
500 and that something should be done. He
thought II the policeman was not held re-
sponsible for the loss of the coat ii would
become a common thing for gentlemen to
lose their valuable coats while visiting the
gallery or other public places. He sug-
gested that IL might be the right thing to
dismiss the policeman. The department saw
no reason for taking this harsh measure
and fatty said so. Mr.. Clark said he was a
United States senator and proposed learn
ing IL that had any bearing on the case
The situation looked nasty for the police
department IL was finally decided to raise
the 800, which Mr.. Clark said his coat was
worth, and pay IL 20 him. One police offiz
cial gave $50. another person gave $50, and
the money was given to Mr.. Clark, who
has thus been placated-

COL. wAGNER's TESTIMONY.


WASHINGTON. May 29.-The Senate
committee the Philippines to-day heard
the testimony of Col. A. l. Wagner, assis-
tant adjutant general of the army, who
spent two and one-half years in the Philip
pines. He was questioned about the con-
centration camps and described the system
by explaining the details of one particular
camp. In that camp the people were as
sembled according TO villages, so that the
people in all cases would have their old
neighbors near them. So far as he had been
able 10 observe there was no evidence of
want among the people congregated More
over, they were surprisingly cOntented.
They were at liberty To go outside the line
frcm 800 TO 500 yards. Beyond that distance
was what was called the dead line be-
yond which the people were not permitted
to go. The natives were given to understand
that If they crossed this line they would be
shot but I'm reality the orders were not 10
shoot any helpless persons. or any others
il the shooting could be avoided.
Colonel Wagner said that one of the prin-
cipal purposes of concentrating the native
people in the Philippines was TO protect
them against the ladrOnes, which had been
admirably accomplished. so that in many
cases what was called the dead line was in
reality the life line. Another object of the
camps had been that or facilitating the
collection Of the rice supplies i'm order TO
starve out the ladrones and guerrillas. The
result had been that hostile parties had
practically disappeared and their leader,
Malvar, had been captured. The army had
