FUNSTON SAID SO
Gov. Taft Tells Why Aguinaldo O
Had Luna Killed.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Governor Taft
today continued his narrative before
the senate committee on the Philippines
concerning conditions in the Philippine
archipelago.
Referring to his testimony of yes
terday, he said he feared that he had
given a wrong impression concerning
the part the army had played in bring
ing the insurrection to an end, but if
so this was due to the fact that ne
could not present a correct impression
of the whole situation from one point
of view. Then in order to give the
army its just dues, ahe took up and
analyzed its work in the islands. He
recalled that soon as General Otis
had received reinfOrcementS sufficient
for his purposes the Philippine army
had broken up and scattered into
guerilla bands. On this point Aguin-
aldo and Luna had differed, Luna advo-
eating the continuance of the war on
the old lines. So sharp was this diff
ference, he said, that Aguinaldo had
directed and secured the assassination
of Luna, thus leaving the way open
for the carrying out of his own plans.
He would not, he said, report the Incl
dent if it had not been positively re-
ported to him by General Funston.
Aguinaldo said that if he did not kill
Luna, Luna would kill him. Indeed,
the custom was to order mans death
in his absence, and have him killed
upon his return. The presence of these
guerilla bands rendered it necessary to
place garrisons everywhere, there being
at one time many 500 of them
This rendered the work before the
army very arduous, and the activity,
the skill and the bravery of the Amer
lean troops were such as to soon rem
der the enemy tired of the warfare.
Speaking of the military policy of the
Philippines, Governor Taft said:
THE war has been all over in these
islands, and that which remains is a
crime against civilization. It is also a
crime against the Filipino people to
keep them in a state of war under the
circumstances. They have worn out the
right to any treatment but that which
is severe and within the laws of war;
Governor Taft also said that the great
majority of the people of the islands
desire peace, and that the insurrectiOn
lists were by their acts preventing the
mass of the, people from settling down
and earning a quiet living. Instead of
being allowed to do this they were kept
under a system of terrorism, which
should be stopped.

VIEWED BY THOUSANDS
Bodies of Dead Convicts Sub
jected to Public Gaze.

Pittsburg Feb. 4.-F'rom to II o'clock
today the bodies of John and Edward
Biddle were exposed to public view at
an undertaking establishment on the
South side and during the three hours
they were on exhibition, several thou
sand persons passed before the collins.
AS early as 8 o'clock crowds began to
gather and despite the cold, they stood
silently awaiting the opening of the
doors.
In the crowd were probably as many
women as men, Inspector VIM. C. Shane,
Captain Gallant and a squad of sixteen
officers were present to preserve order.
few minutes before o'clock the po-
lice arranged the morbid crowd into
line and promptly at o'clock the door
of the mortuary was opened and the
crowd passed in slowly and took look
at the remains of the youthful des
peradoes. The bodies were in black
caskets. The heads of the boys were
turned so the crowd could see them at
a glance and the police kept the crowd
moving all the time. The procession
kept up throughout the three hours.
The burial will take place tomorrow
morning in one large grave in Calvary
cemetery. 1t is not probable that any
religious service will be performed, as
no arrangements have as yet been made
for the attendance of a priest or min
lister. The bodies will be taken from
the undertaking establishment directly
to the cemetery.

proper kind.
a resolution was made by Mr.. Bone
brake and carried that the Douglass
school building in Lowman Hill for
colored children be painted. the floors
finished and brick walks be laid around
the building.
DIR. Embree asked that Mrs. johnson,
a widow with seven children, be made

The question of enameling the cement
wainscoting at Sumner school came up
The proposition to have the work done

made.
TT is moved and seconded that the
wainscoting at Sumner school be enam

"All in favor say aye"
Aye" said Mr.. Rodgers. The rest of
the members were busy whispering.
Those opposed, no. said President
Wilson. There were no dissenting votes.
1T is so ordered"
What are we voting on?" asked
some members who just awoke to the
fact that something was going on.

LELAND'S THE FIRST.
His County Will Hold County Con-
vention Feb. 18.

Cyrus Leland doesn't let any time go
to waste. He has already had a meet
ing of the Republican county central
committee of Doniphan county, and has
called a county convention to elect dele
gates to the congressional, state and ju-
dicial conventions.
Leland has been chairman of the
Doriphan county committee for the
past 80 years, and he takes just as ac-
tive an interest in the county's affairs
agent.
The ink wasn't dry on the call for the
state convention before he had fixed the
date for the meeting of his county COM
mittee. 1t met in Troy Monday after
noon. The date for the county cOnVen-
ton was fixed on February Is. This is
probably the first meeting of this kind
in the state.
There will probably be no contest in
the Doniphan county convention. Mr..
Curtis will be the only candidate for
congress in the First district, so the
Doniphan county congressional delega-
ton will be for him. The state delega-
ton will be for w. J. Bailey for COVER
nor as a matter of course, and the ju-
dicial delegation will be for the renomi-
nation of w. 1. Stuart for district Judge.
Immediately following the meeting of
the county central committee, the ju-
dicial committee of the Twenty-second
judicial district, composed of Doniphan,
Brown and Nemaha counties, held a
meeting. 1t was presided over by Phil
Kelley of Doniphan county, the chair
man. The judicial convention was call
ed to meet on March 3 Troy and Hia-
watha were both candidates for the con-
vention, but Troy won by a vote of six
to three, Nemaha county joining Doni-
phan in voting for Troy. This doubtless
means that Doniphan will join Nemaha
in renominating Judge Stuart Eacn
of the three counties will have ten dele

UNABLE TO AGREE.
Probable Report of Joint Scale
Committee at Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 4.-The joint
scale committee of the United Mine
workers and the operators probably will
report back to the general conference
tomorrow that it is unable to reach an
agreement. Three of the demands of
the miners and the proposition of the
operators for reduction of 10 per cent
have been tabled When the committee
met this morning at the Hotel English.
it took up first the proposed change in
the differential between pick and ma
chine mining TO seven cents a ton. This
is one of the vital questions of the con-
ference. The other demands to be con-
sidered before there is a report to the
convention are for $2.25 with 10 per cent
added for drivers check-off system, at
all the mines and an open powder mar
ket
1t is believed that Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania operators have formed an alliance
for the purpose of resisting every de-
mand of the miners.
This may result in a holding out for
several days as the miners desire an ad-
vance at least, if they are unable to get
the run of mine system, and new diff
ferential between pick and machine
mining.

KELLEY INSTITUTE BURNS
Original Sanitarium at Dwight De-
stroyed by Fire.

Bloomington. ILL.,, Feb. 4.-The city of
Dwight suffered $4,000 fire loss to-
day. The great laboratory of the Keeley
institute was completely destroyed, tc-
gether with the Livingstone hotel, d
brick and stone structure owned and
controlled by the Kelley company. All
of the guests and employees escaped
without injury with the exception of a
colored cook, who was bruised by Jump
ing from a second-story window.
The fire started around the boilers
used for heating purposes in the main
building. This structure was completely
destroyed, and the flames spread to the
hotel adjoining. This was soon reduced
to ashes. The fire department by a
great effort then succeeded in stopping
the fire without much additional loss.
