the islands. The responsibility for them
indeed was to be placed properly at the
door of the administration officials here
in Washington
Until recently" said he, "T had
thought that these things were sporadic
and isolated but / have been forced to
the belief that they are but part of
the general plan of campaign
Mr.. Rawlins said one victim was tied
down by American troops and sugar
was placed upon his head to attract the
voracious ants, common in those islands,
and forced to give information. He de-
clared too, that women and innocent
children had been put to death ruthless
ly by American troops.
Mr.. Turner (Wash.), referred to the
speech of Mr.. Lodge. saying his purpose
would be to supplement that speech and
to drive home the conclusion that it is
unwise, unpatrotc cruel and inhrmap
to attempt in view of the fac.s to make
the Philippines a permanent part of the
territory of the United States.
He then criticised the refusal of the
Senate Committee on the Philippines
to summon Aguinaldo, Mabini, Major
Gardener and others. He would feel
constrained, he said, if the present meth
DDS of the Philippines committee are con-
tinued in declining to summon certain
witnesses to declare that it does not
want the truth but that this is determ-
ined to strangle out the truth as our
armies under the compulsion of superior
authority are strangling liberty in the
Philippines. We ought, he declared, in
a hn
design to permanently hold the islands
while we may do so without too great
a loss of prestige and reputation.
If any Senator. said Mr.. Turner, had
conceived at the time the treaty with
Spain was pending that it would lead us
into war with the Filioinos would that
treaty have received a single vote?
Mr.. Turner referred to the order of
General Jacob H. Smith and said that
it remained for the American soldier
the highest type of civilization, in a
quarrel not having the single element
of religious difference, prosecuted upon
profcssedly humanitarian grounds, to
raise his name to the height of bloody
infamy. He characterized Geneial Smith
as "a monster in human form who had
devoted an entire province to mer2i-
less determination.
Mr.. Turner referred to n special dis
patch which appeared in the Washington
Pest of today under date line of Lynn
Mass. and which on the authority of
Rev. W. Fl. Walker told of the execution
of 900 Filipino prisoners by battalion
of American troops because there was not
sufficient food for them. Mr.. Turner said
he did not vouch for the trutnfulncss Of
the story but felt that it oughI TO be.

Mr.. Lodge replied that he would in
vestigate the matter although he felt it
was utterly without foundation.
In conclusion Mr.. Turner said he 'fclt

TbeY Were q Tough Lot.

When Frederick Marphy, o. ~
Wise Woman company which will
be seen here in the near future, was
a youugster, his health was rather
bad, and OIL one occasion be was
obliged TO 90 west as far rs Cripple
Creek to reeuperate, Being a poor
boy at the time, be vas obliged to 10
to work at anything he could lay his
hands on, and through the iuAaence
of the managing editor he secured a
position as reporter on a Deal paper
At that time Cripple Creek was one
Of the toughest communities in the
west and shooting affairs were OF
daily occurrence. Murphy, being a
natty and polite little fellow, was
looked upon with contempt by his as
sociates as a tenderioot Of the worst
description The boys in the Office
put up a job on him with the inten-
ton of giving him hearty scare.
The story leaked out, and the maaag-
ing editor hearing of it, tipped Muir
ply off. The following day, just as
Murphy was in the midst Of lengthy
article, the various employees got into
an alteration and drawing their guns,
they all began to shoot at once. As
the youngster was onto the game,>he
never moved muscle, but kept on
writing copy with his hat pulled over
his eyes, as though it was the most
ordinary occurrence in the world
Shortly a delegation met the manag
ing editor and asked what kind of
chap that tenderfoot was. "Why,"
he replied, "lhat fellows got more
notches on his pistol for killing men
than any man in Colorado" The next
day, however, he resigned his posi-
ton and has since devoted his time
to studying the art Of comedy.
