HUNT FOR PHILIPPINE
LADR0HES TO Be MADE
Military tc Help Wipe Gut
Various RObber Bands.

A ladronc hunt is being organized in
the Philippines in which both the local
constabuIary and the military viii take
part
Around Manila and in Cavite province
these robbie bands have been growing
bolder. Disorder. often petty but some
times serious. Is on the increase. Armed
bands who find refuge in the adjacent
hills and mountains are committing
vnrious deprcdations. They are not 50
numerous. OF so wen armed as to create
a serious situation. but the government Is
determined to put a stop to their opera
tions
After months Of inactivity. the army IS
to be called upon to assist in suppressing
these bandit forces. Recent advices from
Manila received at the War Department
say the plan IS to have the United States
troops grrriaon tho towns while a large
force Of constabuiary scoUrs the adjoln-
ing country and put out the ladrones. It
is possible a modified form Of martial
law, or a suspension Of the rights OF
habeas corpus may be proclaimed IN Ca
vite province while these operations are
going on.
The campaign may also extend to tho
provinces OF BulacaD and Rial. IN the
former a volunteer force is already at
work and some Of the Iadrone bands are
broken up.
A remarkable story Is printed IN one
Of the Manila papers that in Bulacan
American negroes, formerly belonging 70
the army are leading the band OF high
Waymcn. and are teaching them the rudi-
ments OF military tactics and how 10 han
die firearms.
This story IS not officially confirmed.

TEACHING AGRICULTURE
IN MARYLAND SCHOOLS
Delegation Visits National Capital and
Hears Addresses.

The delegation OF twenty-five mem
bers Of school boards OF Maryland rural
districts. which inspected the various
bureaus of the Department OF Agricul-
ture yesterday. renewed their sightsee-
ing today. Last night a lengthy session
was held I'm the parlors Of the National
Hotel, at which subjects Of interest and
importance TO the modern agriculturist
were discussed.
The delegation came TO Washington at
the invitation OF W. l. Amos. the head
Of the department OF institutes OF tho
Maryland Agricultural College. for the
purpose Of considering the best means
OF introducing agricultural studies into
schools Of the rural districts. An ap-
preparation already voted by the Mary
land Legislature will be sufficient 10 paw
for such instruction for the present.
Dr. A. c. True. chief Of the division OF
experiment stations OF the Agricultural
Department. also Mr.. splllman, repre-
senting Dr. Galloway. Of the same de-
partment. addressed the delegation last
evening. and expressed hearty appro-
baton Of the plan Of having agricultural
pursuits taught IN schools.
Mr. Amos then took up the theme.
which was fully discussed by all present
According 20 several Of the speakers
a strong prejudice exists in many rural
sections. not only in Maryland, bui I'm
other States. against having agriculture
taught in schools. This prejudice is due
10 a belief that other studies will be
sIighted. and also to desire on the part
Of many parents that their sons and
daughters take up other pursuits I'm life
besides farming. BY gradually forcing
the study into the school rooms. how
ever. and ignoring the protests OF the
farmers. this objection can be generally
overcome. and in a short time. several of
the members OF school boards said the
study OF agriculture would become
one of the best liked Of the curriculum.
Tt created more interest among the
pupils. and parents soon saw that even
though their children did not follow
farming the instruction was OF value in
many ways.
II appeared TO be the consensus of
opinion Of those present that the amount
OF money allotted at present in rural
districts for the pay of teachers is en-
tircIy Inadequate, and that the best in
structious cannot De induced % teach M
country schools.
Places Of general interest viii be Wis
tied by the delegation today, under thu
guidance OF Mr.. Amos.

'eTt-@eptal seances in Oriental esoteric-
ism which Dr. Serak IS conducting for the
instruction Of the members Of the cult
who are residents Of Washington. In ad-
dition 10 the members Of the circle. a
large number Of Invited guests were
present.
Dr. serak. after an apology 10 his
audience. delivered his lecture in
French. pausing frequently for Miss
Agnes z. Marsland. his secretary. TO
translate his words into English. Miss
MarsIaud. who is a graduate Of the Uni
yersity OF Cambridge, England. and a
member OF the Esoteric Society Of
Tibe- did this nuently, and IL IS to her
clear and rapid translation th3.c the ma
iority Of the audience owes its enjoy

The lecturer made a Drief exposition
Of some Of the general truths Of occult

The remainder Of the session was
given over to practical demonstrations

his previous discussion. The passing OF
objects selected by the audience through
material obstacles, such as the floor or
walls, 20 show the control OF mind over
matter, and the breaking OF glass and
explosion OF matches by force Of will.
were among the most interesting expert
ments.
There were undoubtedly some visitors
present who were inclined TO explain the
exhibitions as sleight OF hand and me
chanical trickery. However. as Dr.
Serak says In the magazine OF which he
is the editor, Truth needs no defense
