Gov. Taft Says Drastic Measures Were
Needed to Throttle Oathbound So
c;etfes in Manila

Washington, Feb. 19.-Gov. Taft
yesterday continued his discussion of
the question of tranquility in the
Philippine archipelago before the SEN
ate committee. He said that the re-
cent massacre of troops in Samar
had a startling effect upon the army
and created suspicion and fear of
treachery in. other sections. The gov
ernor did not think, however, such
apprehension justified and said he felt
as safe in Manila as in Washington.
The commission had felt that secret
societies were one of the most fruit
full aids to the war and had taken the
position that political agitation
should be confined to open meetings
and prevented in oath-bound socie-
ties. At least one of the societies had
for one of it's main purposes assassi-
nation, being thus like the malta.
Speaking of AguinaldO having Gen.
Luna assassinated, Gov. Taft said that
under the common law there is
scarcely an instruction general Fvho
could not be punished for assisting
in securing the murder of other Fill
pinos. 1t is the way they have of
getting rid of men who do not agree
with them"

WHITES HAVE NO VOICE.
Congressman Little Pleads FOR 397, 1000
Men in the Indian Territory Who Are
Practically DISTINGUISHED.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-When the
consideration of the Indian appropria-
ton bill was resumed in the house
Mr.. Little (Ark.), ranking minority
member of the Indian committee, ad-
dressed himself to the conditions in
the Indian territory. The anomalous
conditions there where $4,000 white
men had no voice in the government,
he said, demanded action by congress.
He reviewed the recent great develop
ment in various branches of industry
in the territory. With $50 towns and
cities and wealth amounting to $780,
100000, he said, there were $4,000
white children of school age but no
schools. Such a condition of affairs
he declared was an outrage. He be-
heved the territory was ready for
statehood but that congress should
grant, at least, some liberal form of
territorial government.

STATESMEN AMAZED.
War Revenue Reduction Bill Passed
House Without a Dissent.
Not Word OF Debate Except IN the Special
Rule, Democrats Complaining That
They Were Gagged as to
Amendments.

Washington, Feb. 1s.-There was q
large attendance in the house Nom
day in anticipation of the debate on
the bill to repeal the war revenue
taxes. After some minor business had
been cleared away Mr.. Dalzel (Pa.),
from the committee on rules, pre-
scented the special order agreed upon
by that committee for a vote at four
o'clock Tuesday.
Mr.. Richardson offered a motion to
recommit the rule. After rather a
sharp tilt between the speaker and
Mr.. Richardson, the speaker sus-
tanned a point of order against the
motion. Mr.. Richardson appealed
from the decision and upon a roll call
the chair was sustained, 165 to 1913.
The rule was adopted, 15s to 100.
Thereupon Mr.. Richardson, the minor
ity leader, said: ST rise to make a re-
quest for unanimous consent. In view
of the fact that we are not permitted
to amend the pending bill and in view
of the fact that the two days debate
is absolutely fruitless under this rule,
I ask unanimous consent that the bill
be put upon its passage now" The
speaker put the request. Members
looked at each other with amazement.
Not a sound was heard. 'There is no
objection" announced The speaker as
he brought his gavel down. The
clerk will read the bill" Both sides
of the house joined in the ringing APP
plause that followed. The clerk then
began to read the bill. The bill was
passed unanimously, 27S members
voting aye.

American if he did not appreciate to
the full extent the debt under which
America rests to them.
