The favorable action Of Japan IN this

some time. She was up and around as
late az yesterday, but soon after retir-
ing last night she was seized win
hemorrhage and couRhed up blood all
night. DR. Scott, who had been attend
ing the afflicted woman was sent for,
but was unable TO go at the time.
Then Dr. Mayo was summoned but he
was delayed until nearly II o'clock and
of course when he arrived Mrs. Potter
had passed away. The message that
was sent to the Joint building for DR..
Mayo conveyed the startling word that
the woman has passed into trance and
while the preparations for her burial
were being made, she came out Of the
spell OF INCONSISTENCIES,
As soon as he could DR.. Mako went TO
the home taking Dr. Baldwin with him.
When they saw the face of Mrs, Potter
they were convinced that she was dead,
but 10 make sure they applied some of
the medical tests which failed to de-
velop the faintest Sign of life.
Mrs. Potter was only 20 years old and
leaves three small children to practi-
cally shift for themselves, as the fam
fly Is very poor and the father, 1t Is
said, fails to contribute TO their sup
port.
The funeral will likely be held from
the residence tomorrow afternoon, UNI

7lFT ON PHILIPPINE CONDITIONS.
Million Dollars Has Been Appropriated for Roads-Crea ln-
crease il Price Of Water Bualo-No Radical Differ
suces Between Civil and Military Authorities

today, In the city where the streets
are rough, the witness said, the water
buffalo moves so slowly as to block
the streets and he thought mules should
be imported He expressed the opinion
that milk producing animals might be
imported TO advantage, There are fine
cattle ranges, but TO his knowledge no
MILK Is produced on the Islands.
Resuming the thread Of his narrative,
Gov, Taft said that the island Of Cebu
was not long organized into civilized
government until IL was found neces-
sary 20 return to military control,
lie had been informed just before his
departure for the United States that
three OF four hundred insurgents on the
island had surrendered and the island
had been entirely tranqulllzed
This statement led Senator Hale to
ask question.
within the past ninety days. he
said. 81 have observed by the newapa-
pers that there were a small fights
within tie space OF thirty days-where
aid they occur2"
The reply WAS that most OF these en-
counters had taken place In Batangas
Lagunda, Mndoro Bohol, Samar Ce-
bu and few other places. Most OF the
troops are In those provinces.
Referring to the Maccabebes, Gov
Taft said they had always been nc
war with their neighbors; that they
had formerly been friends OF the Span
iards and that when the transfer OF
the country was made they also had
transferred their allegiance toy the
United States. He thought there We're
5000 or 10000 Of them.
"You speak" said Senator Culber"
son rs the witness progressed, "ot dis
agreements between the civil and mil
itary authorities as to whether there
should be a civil or military control of
certain district; In such eases who
determines as to what shall be done?
"That," replied Gov, Taft, lis a ques-
ton Of instructions, or rather OF con-.
struction Of Instructions but We have
gotten along so far without radical dis
agreement one difficulty of the Kind
was submitted TO Washington and We
were told that we must reconcile our
differences If we could. We DID so,
and have had 20 other material dilieul-
ties of the Kind.
He promised TO speak more extern
sively on this question at later time.

County Attorney Christensen this
afternoon handed his opinion To the
county commissioners ON the question
OF paying deputies In the various coun-
" offices for extra work done out of
office hours. AT todays meeting of the
board the opinion was read and acted
upon,
The matter came up on D claim or
$50 OF W. o. Carbls, deputy county AS
SCISSOR, for extra services. The board
Of commissioners, Il seems, allowed the
claim on the End ult The county at
torney, however, expresses the View
that MI Carbis could not lawfully
claim compensation for extra work for
overtime H
In his opinion, Attorney Christensen
says
THE question is by no means free
from 0Oubt. have, therefore at the
sacrifice Of considerable time, and no
doubt Inconvenience to you given the
matter that careful consideration which
It's Importance demands, and have ar

Of 1875 may not lawfully draw sal9ry
beyond the maximum allowed by this
section for work done by him outside

No one would contend that the prin-
cipal himself could lawfully claim CONF
pensatlon for extra work on overtime.
