GROSS NEGLECT.
Alleged Swindlers Failed to Do as
Detectives Expected

New York. May 26.-If they are with
in reach of the news. it is probable the
members of the now famous Humbert
family, who are alleged to have swim
died French and English bankers out of
about 900 in the last eighteen
years, are enjoying a good laugh at the
ppointment which they have caused
on both sides of the Atlantic by their
failure to be among the passengers on
the steamship Umbria, which has just
arrived here. Information had been re-
ceived which led those at the head of
the detective force in this city to expect
to find at least two of the gang on
board the Cunarder but the sleuths
who. swarmed over the liner at quaran-
tine were disappointed in their search
and the present whereabouts of the
Humberts remains a mystery.
In police circles the impression is
gaining ground that after all. the fam
lily is not to be expected in America. OF,
at any rate. not at this port The UNI
bTia seems to be the last Of the Trans
atlantic liners on which they might
have slipped away from Europe before
tie hue and cry after them had attain
ed such worldwide proportions.

CAUSED BY CHRISTIANS.
If 1t Was Not for Them the Philip
pines Would Be Pacified.


Washington, Feb. 1.-Governor
Taft today continued his statement
concerning conditions in the Philip
pines.
Governor Taft spoke frequently of
the unreliability of all estimates of
population, but said there are prob
ably 100000 Filipinos or Christians,
100000 or 100000 of non-Chris-
tians, and probably 100000 of Mo-
ros. However a census was badly
needed. The members or the COM
mittee smiled when Governor Taft
said that the Christians had made all
the trouble.
In reply to questions by Mr.. Dubois
Governor Taft said that the Filipinos
have greater attachment for their
country than, for instance. the Chi
nese have for theirs.
1.-THE Filipino u.s." he said, cat
tached first to his town and second
to his province, and he is, think,
now forming an attachment for the
name Filipino. On that pride of
country and on the Filipinos' desire
for education" he added, 81 base my
hope for the success of what we are
doing in the islands"
In reply to other questions, Cover
nor Taft said that he estimated that
from five to seven per cent of the
people read and write the Spanish
language, but that he could not say
what proportion of the people wrote
their own language.
Senator Paterson asked Governor
Taft whether a Filipino of average
intelligence is capable of distinguish
ing between an independent form of
government for his country and a
benevolent and paternal form of gov
| eminent such as the United States
would give.
Replying, Governor Taft said that
the Filipino of intelligence was capa-
BILE of making such distinction, but he
emphasized the necessity of making
sure that the Filipino who must pass
upon this problem is a man of aver
age intelligence"
Replying to questions by Senator
Rawlins. Governor TAFT said that
three of the members of the federal
party were associated in the govern
ment of the islands, but notwith-
standing this fact the government
was in no way responsible for the
promise of statehood made by that
party in it's platform.

MUST MOVE SCHOOL.
Petition of Residents of Somers De-
MED by State Superintendent.

Petition of Residents of Somers De.
MED by State Superintendent.
Ever since the town Of Somers was
established at the head of Flathead
lake there has been much dissatisfac-
ton expressed by the residents of the
lack of proper school facilities, and
at different times and in different
ways the matter was called to the
attention of the county superinten-
dent for settlement. The state school
law in regard to establishing schools
states that no new school can be es-
tablished within a distance of two
miles of any other school, and as the
McGovern school is less than two
miles from Somers, the county super
intendent could do nothing to adjust
the difficulty.
In accordance with the instructions
from the superintendent, DIR. Scion B.
Stone of Somers explained the situa-
ton to Superintendent Welch, and
this week the latter replied saying
that he could do nothing, as the mat
ter was in the hands of the trustees
of the district. Following is the cor
respondence that ensued:
Dear Sir-At this little lumber
town, or burg, there are about 3S
children of school age. We are IL
miles from the nearest district school,
known as the McGovern district. This
district school has a capacity Of
about 40 pupils, and is quite filled by
farmers children. So we were
obliged to establish a private school
here, paying a teacher $50 month
''We taxpayers are quite as much
entitled to free school advantages as
are our farmer friends. Will you
kindly advise me as to the proper
course to pursue in petitioning for a
district school.
May I not suggest that the Nc
Govern school house might be moved
to this place or in this direction and
enlarged to accommodate IS or 80
pupils, to be misunderstanding
two teachers if practicable?"
To this letter the state superin-
tendent made he following reply:
Dear Sir-Replying to your of the
30th ult., will say that as you are
within two miles of the nearest
school house you have not the right
of petitioning for new district. l
think it best in cases of this kind to
so locate the school house as to get
enough pupils for graded school.
eve are opposed to the organizing
of new districts where the pupils can
be reasonably accommodated in the
district already established by a re-
location of the school house. Of
course, school house can be located
or relocated only through a vote of
the district. We believe that in your
case much more good can be accom-
plished by removal of the school
house to a central location than in
maintaining two schools. OF course,
this is a matter which does not prop
erly come before us, but we have en-
