A HOPELESS
OUTL 0OK
Captain Plat on
the Philippine
Islands.

Among the passengers for San Fran
| cisco on the S. S. Doric were Captain
Ralph Platt, wife and servant, who are
returning home after more than two
years sojourn in the Philippines and
China.
Captain Plat passed through here In
November, 1899. on the transport
Grant. en- route for Manila. He was
then an officer on General Hugh's staff
He is now attached to the Secret Ser
vice Bureau at Washington, and is
hurrying back in response to a sum-
mons from the Senatorial Committee
which is investigating the conditions In
the Philippines. For the past few
months he has been on special duty.
the exact nature of which he did not
feel at liberty to disclose.
Speaking OF conditions in the newly
acquired possessions, Captain Plat
said to an Advertiser reporter just
prior 10 the Doric's sailing:
THE Philippines are not fit for a
white man yet, and it will be a long
time before an American can do any
good for himself out there. The whole
thing is a question of legislation. If
Americans and Europeans are given a
fair show they will bring prosperity to
the country. Under civil government
il viii be years before the existing
condition of things is materially bet
tered. Civil government has proved it
self a dismal failure.
What is needed is the iron hand of
military government. which should have
sway until the present generation of
Filipinos has passed away entirely.
There is absolutely no hope for the
present generation of natives. As long
as there is any coin in sight they will
feign tractability, but the moment that
financial inducements to be good ceas-
es. they will stab you in the back.
THE United States bit off more than
they can chew when they took the
Philippines and they are rapidly find
ing 1t out. Admiral Dewey made a big
mistake when he recognized Aguinaldo.
and from that moment it was all up
with life. liberty and the pursuit of
happiness in the Pines. Governor Taft
saw this as well as anyone and was
only too glad to get clear of the whole
thing. He's had enough of the gentle
Filipino, and in my opinion will never
ruffiam, is scared to come
out before the people after swearing al
egiance to the United States. He once
took the oath to die the death before
the katapununians, a powerful secret
known in the Philippines
as the X. K. X For breaking this oath
ne will surely be killed; he is a marked
man. and he knows it, and is guarded
lay and night at his own request He
has not the nerve of a common niger.
How about the INTERIOR" asked the
lis it safe to venture inland
5et?"
Yes" replied Captain Plat, ''it is |
'afe to go about two miles from Manila.
Two weeks before I left, Presidente AL |
oerio, the head of a village, fifteen
niles from Manila, was Kidnapped and !
carried off to the mountains by COM |

EEORGE MDONALD ODER Is HELD
BY THE POLICE.
De Admits that He May Have Violated
the Medical Law and Offers
an Explanation.

George Mcdonald Ober, travelling physi-
clan. was arrested yesterday morning by
Detectives Kinney and Haley on the charge
OF being a fugitive. Ober, who claims this
city as his home, admits that he has vio-
lated the law. He was arrested eight months
ago in Madison, Ind, on the charge Of
practicing without a license The Union
Surety Company, of this city. went on his
bond for 800 for appearance in court He
left Madison and went to French Lick. The
marshal there had been apprised of Ober's
escape and arrested him. The marshal left
Ober alone one evening and he left the city
and came here.
Ober thinks he will not have any diff
Guilty In clearing himself. He said that he
has been a physician for twenty years.
Under the old medical law he obtained a
license and when the new law went into
effect he took his old license to the clerk
OF Marion county on the advice of his at
torney and obtained license. He said no
questions were asked him by the clerk who
issued the license on the face of the old
license. Ober said he has not written a
prescription In the last twelve years. He
claims to have a cure for catarrhal all
ments and manufactures 1t for doctor in
this city. The doctors name is used on the
medicine and Ober says that he is the sales
man. He said II was while dispoSing OF this
medicine that he was arrested in Madison.
AS Ober was sitting in the police station

seemed greatly perturbed over their father s
predtcament. The daughters are married.

CRAP PLAYERS ARRESTED.
The Police Get Several Men I'm Rooms
Above the Kingston.

Profting by the experience of the Ar
mitage brothers in bailing out men caught
in gambling hauses, Henry F. Cannon, who
was arrested last night over the Kingston
saloon on North Illinois street with six
other men, gave a severe lecture to those
he bailed out. Before putting up the
money he asked every one arrested to
come to the wire netting in front of the
turnkey. He then said that if any man he
bailed out failed to appear in Police Court
this morning he would have a writ of at
tachment served and the men brought into
court and fined for contempt in addition TO
visiting gambling house. Gannons words
seemed to have an effect on the men and
each promised to be- in court this morning.
Cannon and Dan Lynch, his assistant,
with five other men were caught at a crap
table in the rooms above the Kingston sa-
loon at No. 10 North Illinois street at 1890
o'clock last night. Sergeants Schroeder and
Warren, with Patrolmen Pope and Slate
walked TO the side door leading to the
gambling rooms. They pushed through the
door and were upstairs before their pres
ence was known. When they arrived at
the top of the stairs they found the door
closed leading into the gambling room. A
gentle knock brought a man who opened 1t.
players reached for their money. The big
table, cash drawer and 1000 chips were con-
fiscated. Cannon was slated as the keeper
of the house. The other men were charged
with visiting the place. Cannon put up
bond for the men. He took from his pocket
a large roll OF money from which he slipped
of three 500 bills and two $50 bills.

REPUBLICAN FROM DENVER.
l.. j. Hadley, a Former Indianian,
Talks of Political Conditions.

1--WE are gradually getting rid of Silver
Republicanism and Populism in Colorado"
remarked l.. j. Hadley at the Denison
Hotel yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Hadley is
stanch Republican, who has lived twelve
years in Denver, and he is familiar with
the conditions out there. He formerly lived
in Indiana. He came back to Indiana to
get a wife. and started for the golden West
with her last night. Mr.. Hadley has been
candidate for county office twice on the
Republican ticket in Arapahoe county and
was both times defeated, coming out
fortunately at time when Populism was
much more alive in Colorado than it is
now. I'VE hope to have our county Re
publican this fall said Mr.. Hadley, "and
If not this time we will have it that way
by the time the next election rolls around.
The first time Bryan ran he carried Colo
RADIO by about 10000. The next time he
carried it by 10000. and if he were to run
again he could not carry it at ALL"
Mr.. Hadley says that the first time Bry-
an was a candidate for President only
twelve men In his precinct in Denver voted
for Mckinley. Hadley was one of the
twelve, and on account of this fact he re-
ceived more or less political prominence.
He was nominated for sheriff three years
ago by reclamation and without seeking
the office.
