FISCAL SUMS OF THE
 CUBAN POSTAL CASES
Withdraws One Charge Against Rath- bone, But Says He Must Have
 Known of Irregularities.

Havana, February 20-The fiscal fin- ished summing up for the prosecution to- day in the cases of the Cuban postal frauds. He withdrew all the charges against the two Cuban stamp clerks, Moya and Mascara. He withdrew the charges against Estes G. Rathbone of is- suing deplicate warrants and charged the issuing of these warrants to w. H. Reeves and c. F. W. Nicely. He main tained the charges of conspiracy and extravaganza against Rathbone and said these cases were the most important that had ever come before the Cuban courts. He declared that there was no doubt $122, 900 had been stolen.
 .. He said that Rathbone had full pow CTS for the organization of the postal ser vice in Cuba and was only responsible to the postmaster general and that if the service had been properly organized the majority of the frauds in question could not have occurred. The fiscal said Rath- bone did not deposit the funds as required by the postal laws and that they should have been deposited when they were re- ceived instead of which Rathbone left the money in the safe. This alone, the fiscal declared, rendered Rathbone liable to i'm prisonment for six months. He said that Rathbone must have known of these ir- regularities or stealings. He also intro duced letters to show the intimacy which had existed between Neely, Reeves and Rathbone
 The fiscal is expected to finish his sum- ming up tomorrow.

Senator Patterson Makes Mai den Speech on Philippines
BRINGS UP SECTARIANISM.
Senator Nelson Sharply critieises Him for Bringing Church Matters In Debate-says We'll Never
 Abandon the Islands.

Washington, February 20.-With the ex- | ception of a few minutes given to routine business, the Senate today devoted its entire session to the Philippine question. MT. Patterson of Colorado, one of the minority members of the Philippine com mission, delivered his first extended speech in the Senate and was given a most attentive and careful hearing. He discussed principally the sedition laws enacted by the Philippine Commission vigorously attacking the authority of the commission to enact and enforce such law.
 He maintained that Congress alone had the power to put in force enactments of that characte. He compared informa- ton furnished by the executive depart ments of the government with some of the statements of Governor Taft in his testimony before the Philippine commit tee with respect to the capabilities of the Philippine people, and delivered with some heat, his belief that Governor Taft misrepresented the true situation in the islands for motives unknown. He as- serted that if the six millions of Christ ians in the Philippines were protestant Christians, the cruelties practieed on them by the American authorities would have to stop. as no member of Congress would be able to withstand the wrath of the Methodists. Baptists and Presbyter- fans of this country.
 Nelson Presents Legal Argument.
 MT. Nelson of Minnesota presented a legal and constitutional argument in sup port of this governments action in the Philippine archipelago and sharply criti- cized MT. Patterson for injecting into the controversy the question of sectarianisn.
 The foreign-born people of the north 1 west. he said, might as well insist that N 1 was tyranny and despotism to be anord- | ed the opportunity of sending their chil-
 dren to the public schools.
 "We are there" he said, and want te
 tell Senators on the other side that tht
 people of this country, whatever else the, | may do will never consent to abandon
 those islands When did it come to pass he demanded impulsively, that thu l American people became set Of tyrants | It is a islander upon the American ma tion take that no Senator will say that | the American people are not capable and
 willing to do more for the inhabitants of
 the Philippines than any other nation or l earth"

manded that the money in front of him be gathered up for him. On being re- fused he shot the cashier in the head killing him instantly. Other employees made a rush for the robber. who fired three shots at them without effect and seeing that his capture was inevitable the robber turned his pistol on himself and sent a bullet through his brain, dying in a few minutes on the bank floor.
 The dead robber had no papers or any article on his body that would serve to identify him, and other than that he was an American nothing of him Is known. He was well dressed in a tailor made suit, wore a full beard well trimmed and was about 40 years of age.
 His general appearance was that of a well-to-do business man.

HOUSE SPENDS DAY
 ON THE INDIAN BILL.

Washington, February 20-The house spent the day working on the Indian appropriation bill. The appropriation for preliminary work in the reservoir for the GiIa River Valley went out on a point of order.
 MT. Smith Arizona, offered an amend ment to strike out the appropriation for the Carlise school and 1t became the text for a general onslaught on the practice of educating Indians in Eastern schools. His amendment was defated
 MT. Fitzgerald. New York. attacked the superintednet of the school at Mount Pleasant Mich, who he said. was charged with permitting the debauching of Indian girls.
 MT. Sherman, chairman of the Indian committee, promised to make an investi- gation at the Indion office tomorrow
 In moving to strike out the appropria- tion for the Carlisle Indian school Mir. Smith declared that experience showed these schools. distant from the Indian reservations, had done more harm tl good. He insisted that the Indian sho be educated in the environment in wh he must live. Philosophy, mathema and geometry taught the Indians nd ing. They should be taught husban at home.
 Educated in Penitentiary. l-l He said the best education possessed by one of the Indians on the San Carlos | reservation had been obtained by serving l four years in the penitentiary. He bad 1 been taught discipline. MT. Cannon. Illinois, joined with Mir. I Smith in opposing the eastern schools. l He declared that 1t was the height of l crIelty to educate the Indians and then send them back to savagery. Tt becomes matter of pride with the tribe," said he "to force the young man again to put on the blanket and to drive the young woman into prostitution"
 MT. Sherman opposed the amendment reading from the report of the commits sioner of Indian affairs the statement that education on the reservations was not productive of advancement and that education far from the influence of the tribes had more than met the highest expectations.
 After some further discussion By Mir. Lacey. Iowa. against and by MT. Fitz- gerald. New York and MT. Morris. Penn sylvania. in support of the Smith amend ment 1t was lost.
 MT. Bell Colorado, offered an amend ment to appropriate s54.0O0 for the Indian school aS Grand Junction, Colorado. It was adopted.
 Fitzgerald Creates Sensation.
 Mir. Fitzgerald, New York, created something of a sensation by moving that no part of the appropriation for the In- dian school at Mount Pleasant. Michigan. should be used to pay the present super intendent who he said, had been charged with permitting the debauching of In- dians girls.
 MT. sherman declared that if the su. perintendent had been guilty of practices charged the civil service law would not protect him and that if evidence was pro- duced to justify the charges. the commits sioner of Indian affairs would dismiss him instantly. He proposed that MT. Fitzgerald go with him to the Indian of- flee tomorrow and investigate the whoie matter.
 "If any one has been guilty of the things charged. he said, The will be out of the service before night"

The public will regret to learn

about four instruments. This Is
a step in the wrong direction. We
need a very much better orchestra
