pared to the Island Where a Com
pany of the Ninth Infantry
Was Massncred.

San Francisco. June 14.-Maj. L.
". T. Waller, United States marine
corps, who arrived here on the trans
port Warren, which brought the rem
nant of the fighting Ninth infantry
into port, expressed emphatic views
in the matter of the war in the Phil
iPpines. You can't stop the revo-
luton in the Philippines unless you
take the severest measures" said
Maj. Waller in an interview. You
would hate to see your wounded and
dead mutilated. I cannot describe
the fearful condition in which we
found some of the bodies of men
who were under my command
who were murdered by insurrectos.
1 received both verbal and written or
ders from Gen. Jacob Smith to kill
all insurgents who were caught
armed or who refused to surrender
1t was the only thing that could be
done, and I never questioned Gen.
Smiths orders with one exception.
This exception I refuse to state. A
fair estimate of the number of ma
tives killed by the men of my COM
mand would be 400 to 500. These
were all killed in battle with the ex-
ception of IL carriers, insurrectos
at heart, who were tried by court
martial and shot. There was only
one woman shot and she was only
slightly wounded. She happened to
be in the breastworks of a fort my
men were storming. 81 have fought

IRRIGATION BILL PASSED.
Measure for the Improvement of Arid
Regions Had = Big Majority
in the House.

Washington. June 1.-THE house
Friday passed the irrigation bill
by a vote of 146 to SIS. Many
amendments were offered, but
only one, except those offered by the
committee, was adopted. 1t was of
a minor character. The bill already
has passed the senate. The friends
of the measure greeted the an
nouncement of its passage with a
round of applause. The bill as
passed creates a reclamation fund
from the sale of public lands in
Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho,
Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Mexico, North Dakota, Okla
homa, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming, less the
amount paid to local land offices and
five per cent. due the state under ex-
listing laws for educational purposes,
the reclamation fund to be used for
the construction and maintenance
of irrigation works in the states and
territories enumerated. Provision is
made for the payment out of the
treasury of any deficiencies in the
allowances to agricultural colleges
owing to this disposition of public
lands. The secretary of the interior
is authorized to examine, survey and
construct the irrigation works and
report the cost thereof to congress
at each session.

FALSE HOPES HELD OUT.
Beers surrendsrinR at Pretoria Said to
BE Incensed at Germany and
France.

Pretoria, June 13.-In all 1925
Beers have surrendered up to date.
Many are youngsters of IL years of
age and upwards. The majority of
them are under 80, though some of
the burghers are septuagenarians.
Advices from all the districts say
that the burghers are increasingly
friendly. The only bitterness OBJ
Bervabie among the leading Beers
here is against France and Germany.
They declare the war was protracted
unnecessarily owing to the hopes
held out by the French and German
press. Some of the Beers are so in
censed that they have expressed the
hope that some day they will fight on
the side of the British against one of
these powers. The anticipated fric-
ton between the surrendered Beers
and their former comrades of the
Natal scouts has not materiaized to
any extent. The Beers admit they
received ammunition through Portu-
guese territory.

Senator TIIlman Says 40 Cents Is Enough

for S1.25 to So.

Washington, June 14-In the SEN
ate Friday Mr.. Tillman Is. c. pre-
sented some advantages of supplying
metal mail boxes for rural free de-
livery and showed to the senate
sample box of sheet steel which could
be purchased for 40 cents. Boxes
now supplied by private individuals
cost from $1.25 to So each. Such a
price, he said, was serious burden
hpon the farmers. Already 81, 500, 900
3 year was paid for rural delivery of
mail and he believed such rural de-
livery would expand until it exceed
ed the cost of city mail delivery.

COMPETENCY ALONE COUNTS.
Hereafter Fourth Glass POstmasters VIII
Not Be Removed on Account of
Their Politics

Washington, June 14.-Under the
recent ruling of Postmaster General
Payne the appointment of fourth
class postmasters has been taken out
of politics. This change is especially
gratifying to members of congress,
as well as those who now hold post
al Office of this class. Retention in
office depends hot9 wholly Upon good
behavior and attention to duty Thus
a fourth-class postmaster is not now
removed merely to make room for
another so long as the first ap-
pointee administers the duties of his
office faithfully and honestly.
