OFFICER IN CONTEMPT.
Judge Scott So Declares of Man Who
Makes Threats.

Judge Scott took occasion in the Police
Court today to remark about the custom
of some members of the police force to
make threatening remarks to prisoners ar
rested by them.
Richard Meany, thirty years old, had been
acquitted of a charge of disorderly conduct.
At the close of the case Meany left the
court room, but returned in few minutes
and asked for permission to address the
court.
Your honor" he said 81 met Sergt Kill
martin in the hallway a moment ago, and
offered to shake hands with him, at the
same time saying that 1 bore him no ILL
will for testifying against me. The SER
geant said: Never mind; you got off this
time. but I'll have a better case against
you the next time"
Meany asked that the court protect him.
Judge Scott assured him that an officer
who made a remark of a threatening char
acter within the court building was guilty
of contempt.
Mfany was arrested in Chinese reStau-
RAM in 18th street northwest Sunday morn
inG by Sergt. Kilmartin and Policeman
Sanford. The evidence against him was
that he was indulging in profanity and
abusive language.
Meany and three witnesses declared that
he was. on the contrary, attempting to
avoid discussion with a drunken man.
Judge Scott decided that the case had not
been made out. and took the action stated.

good man for the position. true, loyal
American and father to the Fflipinos.
The educational forces under the civil
government are also a most encouraging
element in the Philippine problems The
teachers that came from America have
been here too short a time for much to be
concluded as yet regarding them and their
work. They are entering upon their work
oravely and heartily, and have made
grand start. They are reaching the people
and doing work that 1 did not think they
could do.
The coming of these TEACHERS. I believe
with all my heart, will do more to meet the
sorest needs of the Philippines than any
other thing the Americans could possibly
have done.
Necessity for the War.
Despite all that may be said against the
crueites and abuses of the war, ours is
after all, the more humane way to deal
with the problem. If the native forces are
allowed their right of way, the poor people
are forced into insurrecto ranks or butch
cred; they must support the insurrection
with money and supplies, and then be
treated as slaves for their pay. Eternal
slavery is the result of ultimate insurrecto
victory. Most of the peasants know this
only too weh, and pray for our speedy COM
ing and quick victory.
In some haf-iights the war may look
un-American; but in the conditions that are
met here to prosecute this war is the most
humane thing that can be done.
The Horrors of War
Il have heard of natives being shot down
without quarter prisoners being bayoneted
without mercy. Such things have hap
pened. War is hell, and human passions
are terrible when aroused and turned loose
But these are only phases of the war that
are exceptional. scattered incidental and
inevitable to the conditions. No other army,
no other war in history has so clean a rec
ORD as has our army in the Philippines
Nothing is more certain than that the YER
dict of history will be that one of the
greatest evidences of the advance of true
ideas of God and of human worth was being
realized in the nineteenth century in the
fact that in the closing years of that Gen.
tury a mighty nation interfered in Cuba
and in the Philippines though it cost them
much trouble, money and blood, and freed
two great masses Of oppressed people from
worse than slavery"

Heirs Bring Suit.

Proceedings in equity were instituted this
afternoon by John Mcguire and seven

ed, he has received attorney for Mrs.

Quillan held the property involved by de-
scent from his father. Further, it is claim
ed, that as the compiainants are native
born American citizens Of the paternal
ence to Mrs Burk, who, it is set forth,
