chin LABOR FOR
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Or. jerks Makes Recommen-
dation to War Department.
Special Commissioner Says That Would
Create Better Market for
Filipino Labor.

The report of Dr. Jeremiah W. Jenks.
VINO was sent az a special commissioner
by the War Department to report upon
the internal administration of the Dutch
and English possessions in the Far East
for the purpose of assisting in the So
luton of the problems which confront
the United States in the Philippines, has
teen received a. the War Department
and is being prepared for the printer.
DR.. jerks left the United States with
preconceived notions against the estab-
lishment of the gold standard in the
Philippines. His report shows that he
has changed his mind. He now recon-
mends the adoption of the currency sys-
tenn favored and suggested by Mr.. CO.
nant, viz. silver currency redeemable
in gold at the option of the Government.
He recommends that the silver Philip
pine dollar should contain slightly less
silver than the Mexican dollar in order
to prevent lis export from the islands.
Coolies for Plantations.
Perhaps the most important recon-
mendation in the report is. however,
that for the importation of Chinese
coolie labor into the Philippines under
contract for specific purposes. and sub
ject to deportation at the end of a
stipulated period. Dr. jerks says that
such labor is necessary for the proper
development of the islands and makes
the surprising statement that the intro
duction of Chinese coolies would in
crease the market for Filipino labor.
The Filipinos do not like to work in
the fields. in the mines or on the roads
The Chinese are needed for these pur-
poses. But the Filipinos make good
clerks, foremen, machinists, market
gardeners and fishermen. Dr. jerks
argues that the demand for this class
of labor will be increased by the intro
duction of Chinese to do the manual part
of the work.
He does not believe in allowing the
Importation OF a number of Chinese and
their hire by any person who may want
a laborer. But if a hemp factory or Il
sugar plantation wants a hundred or
more men for two Jr three years he
thinks they should he permitted to i'm
port them for that specific purpose. the
Chinese TO be sent back al the expira-
tion of their contract.

EFFORT MADE TO LAND
GOVERNOR ATKINSON
Friends Again Urging Him for Vacancy
on Court of Claims
Bench.

The vacancy on the Court OF Claims
bench has caused another fight to be
made by the West Virginia Republicans
to secure the seat for former Go7crnor
George W. Atkinson, at present United
States attorney for the Southern district
of West Virginia. Senator Nathan b,
Scott. of West Virginia. called on .it-
torney General Knox recently TO press
the claims of Mr.. Atkinson, who is rep
resented as about as loyal a Republican
as there is in West Virginia, and as pos
sessing every qualification for the place.
President Roosevelt set the claims Of
Mr.. Atkinson aside when the fight Tor
the vacancy first arose, and offered the
place to Senator McLauriD OF South
Carolina. 1t will be remembered that
Senator McLaurin finally declined the Of

appointment Is Delayed.

The President has since taken no ac-
tion in the case, and so the West Nir-
ginia Republicans are hopeful that they
may succeed in landing Mr.. Atkinson.
The withdrawal of Senator McLaurin
reopened the contest, and all the old
candidates and a number OF new ones are
being presented. 1t is understood from
an authoritative source thai the Presi-
dent does not contemplate making an ap-
pointment in this case before November
or December. The vacancy on the su-
preme bench of the District OF Columbia
lis in the same status, and will not be
acted upon for some time.
Senator Scott said yesterday that the
coal strike would hurt the Republicans
in Pennsylvania and West Virginia in
the November elections. He aid not say
that the strike itself was at the bottom
of this, but that the Republican loss
would be due to colored miners and 9TH
ers having gone from Pennsylvania and
West Virginia to other States.
The negro workman is somewhat
timid," said Senator Scott. and when
he is threatened with determination If
he takes the places of strikers in the
coal fields or wants TO so back TO work
in the coal mines he becomes frightened
and emigrates to some other State in
search of work. This will lose US soEc
strength this fall. other than this. Re
publican prospects were never brighter.

After the recess the case was formally
opened by Mr Clements the proSecut-
ing attorney. who outlined the points
which the Commonwealth expects to
prove. Mr. Berdheim replied for the de-
fense, and the prosecution then called
its first witness. This was Mr.. William
J. Smith. the driver of the bus in
which Nelson is alleged to have ridden
TO jackson City on the night of the fire.
Mr.. Smith resides at l3111a o Street
southwest. in this city. and said that rs

vious to the fire. 1t was his habit, he
said. to start from Street between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth northwest.
and make several trips each night, gen.
crafty at I, S. and 10 in the evening.
On the night in question he said he
had left from the usual place at 10
o'clock for his last trip. Two men were
in the bus. Near the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing Nelson boarded the
coach, taking a seat on top. Tighe was
also sitting on the box.
Asked for Kerosene.
The witness testified that. upon ar
irving at jackson City. Nelson got off
and asked him if LaFontaine, the pro-
prietor of the clubhouse, had told him
not to came cut the next day, and that
upon his answering in the negative Nell
son instructed him not to do so. Mel
son. the witness said, went through the
approach to the house which was burned
first. He said that he had heard Tighe
ask Nielsen II the latter had the key to
the house. Upon the prisoners reply
ing that he had not. Tighe gave him the
key. Nelson then asked Tighe if he
had any kerosene. Tighe replied:
No: but Nose has some
Smith testified that he did not know
who "Mcse'' was He said that he saw
both Nelson and Tighe go into the
building which was first burned. He
then drove around to an old shed about
a hundred feet away. 1t was about ten
minutes after this that he discovered
the fire in che building. The witness
said lit burnt out pretty rapidly"
Smith said that he next saw Tighe
on the turnpike with a bundle in his
hands. He saw Nelson again shortly
afterward coming up the railroad track
He saw neither of them leave the build
ing, nor anywhere in the vicinity OF the
fire.
