as Result.
lBy Associated Press.l


Chicago, Feb. 19.-Lewellyn Mason, a
conductor on the Chicago & Alton rail-
road. has just received assurance that
courtesy to the travelling public some
times has it's reward.
When the will of w. A. Tyler, a mil
lionaire of Bloomington, was probated
yesterday 1t was found to contain the
following clause:
ITO Lewellyn Mason I bequeath the
sum of $1,000, in recognition of the cour-
teous treatment accorded me while trav-
cling on the Alton road"
Conductor Mason is over 60 years old,
and has been conductor on the Alton

suburban train between Chicago and
Joliet
Millionaire Tyler was exceedingly GU
rious when travelling and was wont to
ask many questions. In 1868, he hap
pened to take train upon which young
Mason was the conductor and Mason
spent all of his spare time on the run to
Chicago in talking to him. Three or four
times each year Mason carried the rich
man between Jacksonville and Chicago,
and the latter between Bloomington and
Chicago, and he never once tired of the
old mans questions.
"Mr Tyler made his last trip with me
four years ago, and had almost passed

MAY BE THIRTY OTHER SUITS
Expert Poser Of Butte Tells All About
the Pollution of the Stream by
the Colusa- Parrot
Smelter.
Especial to Inter Mountaln.)

Anaconda, Feb. 19.--Great interest is
manifested In the progress of the case
OF j. w. and Henry Watson vs. tho
Colusa- Parrot Mining and Smelling COM
pany, on trial In the district court to-
day.
A large number OF ranchers In Deer
Lodge valley were present to listen to
the testimony, for upon the result OF the
trial of this case depends whether they
will have n chance to get damages for
the pollution OF the waters OF the Deer
Lodge river TO such an extent as to
render II unfit for domestic and lrriga-
tion purposes.
Not an Expert.
Nearly all OF this forenoon was taken
up In the examination of A. J. Poser OF
Butte, who stated that he was n prac-
teal mining man; that he had examined
the dumps at the Colusa- Parrot smelter
and Its surroundings, and that I'm his
Judgment e-third Of the pollution OF
the water OF Silver Bow creek was caused
by the Colusa- Parrot works. The other
two-thirds, he declared. came from tho
NJ. O. L. and other smelters and concen-
traitors.
He based his conclusions. he said, on
the capacity and kinds of machinery
used In the various smelters which con-
tributed to the pollution of the streams.
Witness also explained how he arrived
al the amount of debris conveyed into
the stream each day by making certain
measurements, but did not speak from q
scientific standpoint.
Analysis Of Water.
Emil Starr OF Helena, who made
chemical analysis of water taken out OF
Silver Bow creek at point 200 feet below
the Colusa- Parrot works, testified as to
tho impurity of the water ana Its effect
upon vegetation.
IL appears that II II should be estab-
llshed In the case now pending that tho
colusa- Parrot company Is liable for dam
ages and judgment IL entered against II,
other smelling companies would lilSewiee
come In for their share OF damage suits.
Upon the result OF this case also de-
pends whether fully 80 or more suits
viii be brought by the ranchers OF Deer

HAVE BEEN DEPoRTED FROM
PHILIPPINES.
NEWSPAPERS ARE RESTRICTED
But Few of the Residents of the
Islands Have Any knowledge Of
the United States-Aguinaldo
Not One of Them.
lBy Associated Press.l

Washington, Feb. 19.-Amony other
questions pertaining to the Philippines
discussed by Governor Taft today in his
testimony before the senate committee
on the Philippines was the attitude of
the different religious sects toward one
another. He said that generally the re-
lationship Is a friendly one and that
the evangelical churches are seeking to
secure foothold in the island
He also referred to the ecclesiastical
courts, saying that under the Spanish
rule. the members of the religious orders
could elect to have civil cases In which
they were concerned tried in those
courts, rather than in the regular tr-
bunals.
In reply to questions, he said that from
20 to 90 persons had been deported from
the Philippines and they were all sent
to Guam by the military authorities,
because they are considered irresponsi-
bles, whose presence was injurious.
He said in reply to Senator Allison that
so far as the Philippine advocates of in
dependence had expressed themselves
all of them desired that the United
States should continue its protection of
the islands; in other words they wanted
independence with the United States as
protectorate.
Answers Many Questions.
The witness was asked a great num-
ber OF questions about the Malolos con-
stitutional convention.
He said that the convention was made
up largely of residents of Manila, al
though designated by Aguinaldo to rep
resent the various provinces. Compar-
atively few of the Filipinos, he said, are
familiar with the United States and he
did not believe that Aguinaldo is among
those who have this familiarity.
Governor Taft also gave information
concerning the newspaper press of the
Philippines.
Are the newspapers there at liberty
to advocate the independence of the ISL
ands?" asked Senator Culberson.
"They are under the restrictions i'm
posed by the statutes. which we discussed
yesterday, just as others are" the wit
ness replied.
Therefore. they are prohibited from
| such course?"
THAT is the effect of the statute while
| our war continues"
