Magistrate Charles P. Smith, of Burlington, N. J., Is famous for his unique methods of dispensing justice, and on more than one occasion has bntted through problem that would have driven old Solomon daffy.
 Some time ago Magistrate Smith gazed down from his judicial throne on man whom he had seen lined up at the bar-bar of justice, if you please-no less than thousand times, and had sent him to the coun- ty jail so often that the city had gotten tired of paying his car fare.

 Good Games in the Amateur League Much Good Ball News.
 There were exciting times down at the Athletic field on Saturday after noon when the strong consolidated base ball team. under the management or Mir Brennan, endeavored to take the scalps of the team that will represent Waterbury in the Connecticut league this season. They did not succeed, but they came pretty near it, and were it not that Charley Clancy let out few kinks in his arm and that some of the consolidated team made bad errors the local leaguers might have gone down in defeat. There was some talk of q $lOO side bet on the game, but that was only talk, for Manager Harrington was only too willing to make such ber. The game proved one thing very con- clusively, that Waterbury has large number of good amateurs who will get into the bigger leagues before many seasons. A pitcher named Lyman from Torrington occupied the box for the consolidated team, and he had the leaguers guessing all through the game. In fact, he pitched a remarkably fast game of ball. Had the team behind him given him the support he deserved he would have made the leaguers go down to certain defeat. It was q cold, raw day and for that reason the leaguers did not exert themselves to their limit, and Clancy contented him. self with an easy gait until the last three innings. when he let himself out for keeps The change made by Man ager Brennan when he took Madden out of the game and substituted Cook also worked to the disadvantage of the consolidated team. It was a close and interesting game throughout. The score and summary:

SATURDAY NIGHT BASKET BALL


 The basket ball game at the armory on Saturday night between teams rep resenting Company E of New Haven and Company A of this city was a farce. The game was announced as being for the military championship of the state but on what account the Yis- itors have a right to participate in a championship contest they failed to show in the game with Company A. Their playing was miserable. A strong contrast to the visitors playing was that of the home team. whose work was brilliant After the first few mlli- utes of play the spectators saw that 1t was only a case of how large score the home team would roll up. The two teams will play i'll New Haven next Saturday night. A series of games between the Company A team and the Business Mems team of the Y NJ. c.

frequently happens that a man is tried
for several offences; for example, larceny.

in which event the sentence may in the
aggregate be in excess of one year.
He is of the opinion that under the
provisions of section 934 the Police Court
cannot impose sentences aSgregating more
than a year, however serious the offences
may be.
Questions Authority.
He says. further. that 1t is question
able whether the court may impose sem
fences in any case where the defendant
is already serving a term in jail, where
the new sentence, with the unexpired por-
ton of the old. may exceed one year.
Judge Kimball says that it is serious
question whether the Police Court has
jurisdiction to try cases where the sem
fences in the aggregate may be more than
one year.
Agrees With Judge.
Mr.. Duvall agrees with Judge Kimball
that section 93i should be amended so as
not to apply to sentences imposed by the

that the third paragraph of the section

Filip'nos Want Army to Remain.
TELLS OF SOLDIER LIFE.
Governor Taft Interests House Commit
tee on Insular Affairs.

Governor Taft, of the Philippines, con-
tinued his testimony yesterday before the
House Committee on Insular Affairs. His
remarks were much of the same order
delivered before the Senate Philippine
Committee. His story Of the soldiers
life in the Philippines was very interest
ing. The boys in blue, he said, were very
lonely. and he urged that the Government
make the soldiers quarters as pleasant
and comfortable as possible.
He was mucn gratified to learn that the
army appropriation bill contained the
sum OF S1,500.0 900 for army posts for the
Philippines. but he hoped the amount
would be increased to $4,000, 600
Whatever Congress did in the matter
of dealing with the Filipinos, he insisted
that the islands should be subject to
American guidance and control.

they make grade crossing improvements.
It is understood that the passage OF the

tically assured. and there is very little if
any more doubt as to its passage by the
House. The conference between the APP

JUDGE KIMBALL
QUESTIONS CODE
Court Dubious About Legality
of Cumulative Sentence.
MAGISTRATES EMBARRASSED
City Solicitor A. B. Duvall of Opinion
That Present Law Should Be Amend
ed So as Not to Apply to Sentence
Imposed by Police Justices.

Mr.. \. B. Duvall. the City Solicitor,
ers u statement upon a communication
from Judge l. G. kimball. of the Police
Court, relative to the imposing of cumula-
tive sentences under the operation of the
new code.
In his letter to the Commissioners
Judge Kimball called attention to section
9S4 of the code, which reads:
place of mprisonment.-When any
person shall be sentenced to imprison-
ment for a term not exceeding six months
the court may direct that such imprison-
ment shall be either in the workhouse or
Jail. When any person is sentenced for
a longer term than six months, and not
longer than one year, such Imprisonment
shall be in the Jail, and where the sem
tence is Imprisonment for more than one
year it shall be in the penitentiary.
Fixes Rate of Sentence.
Cumulative sentences aggregating
more than one year Shall be deemed one
sentence, for the purposes of the fore
going provision. When the punishment of
an offence may be Imprisonment for more
than year, the prosecution shall be
in the Supreme Court Of the District.
When the maximum punishment is i'm
prisonment for one year or less, the prose-
cution may be in the Police Court"
Judge Kimball states that the justices
of the Police Court are greatly embar-
raised in the imposition of cumulative
sentences. He says that this section
quoted provides that where the sentence
is Imprisonment for more than a year it
shall be in the penltentiary. and that Gu

MANILA As VIEWED
BY GENERAL hughes
His Reforms, Instituted by
Him as Provost Marshal.
SENATORS GIVEN THE FACTS
Philippine Committee Informed How
Abuses Under Spanish Rule Were
Abolished or Mitigated When the
American Army Took Charge.

General Hughes narrative of his expe-
rience and observations while in service
in the Philippine Islands was continued
by him yesterday before the Senate
Committee on the Philippines. He de-
scribed the city of Manila when he took
charge as provost marshal general as be-
ing overcrowded and intolerable except
for the daily breeze. All offal had to be
hauled away; and that was done first
by boats, then by barges. In this work
he employed at times 500 men. 1t was
slow work; but in three months the dam
ger was removed.
He described the condition of the
schools in Manila-forty-one in number.
and some four thousand pupils. This was
in October, 1893. Such teachers as were
in the city were employed-some of them
Spaniards; some Americans As a rule.
all were women. The schools ran on cas-
lily till the outbreak of February 4, when
they were disturbed.
Attention was also given to hospitals,
In the leper hospital there were $50 pa
tients. who scattered at the outbreak.
There was also q hospital for lewd women.
At first the attempt was made TO exclude
soldiers from the districts where these
women lived. but that did not effect the
desired object. He had then established
the hospital and provided for an inspec-
ton of the women, and in this way the
evil was diminished.
Reforming Spanish Prisons.
General Hughes told of the excessive
punishments inflicted by the Spaniards
upon prisoners in the city prisons. He
had found men loaded down with irons
in the Preside and Bilabid prisons. which
eat into the flesh. Every day he made in
vestigations he removed those irons and
there were a half cord of them stacked
up when he got through.
He had also found that whenever prfs-
oner was taken sick he was sent to a
hospital where he invariably died.
He had, therefore. erected a respecta-

lions had its first meeting at 1890 yes
terday morning. Both Republicans and
Democrats had hoped that an amicable
agreement would be reached. The com
mittee adjourned without doing anything,
however. except to agree to meet again in
the afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Stated briefly the difficulty Is this:
The Senate in executive session last
Saturday voted the South Carolina Sena-
tors in contempt" No such action was
ever taken by that body before. There is
no rule defining what contempt of the
Senate shall mean. 1t is punishment in
itself. and the Democrats contend that it
includes nothing more than mere
phrase of Reproduction.
No Punishment Arranged.
No vote has been taken to expel the
Senators. or TO suspend them. or to i'm
prison them. or to prevent them from vot-
ing, or even to prevent them from debat-
ing. No punishment has been arranged
or provided for.
The President pro TEN. on Monday
struck their names from the roll. and they
were not called when the voting began
on the Philippine tariff bill. This the
Democrats to a man object to-
The Republicans generally now go so
far as to acknowledge that Mr.. Frye made
mistake. and on Tuesday the names of
the two Senator'S were put back on the
roll.
But there is still definite and positive
difference of opinion as to whether. even
II the Committee ON Privileges and Elec-
tions recommends IT, the two Senators
should be deprived of their vote, or even
of their right to debate.
The Democrats are willing to agree to

port and by vote Of the Senate. They

changed his opinion on the Paris treaty.
The Democratic friends of Senator TILL
man argue that the influence of Federal
patronage has had weight in more than
one case Oh record, and that it is not

Made Charges Before.
Another argument made by TiIlman's
friends is that he has made the same
charge against Mr.. McLaurin before. in
South Carolina, and that Mr.. McLsurin
has never before seen fit to apply the
epithet lie" TO IT. They ask why the
lie was not given in South Carolina in
stead of the Senate
Thus the two sides defend their re-
Epective positions. Few, 81 any, however,
contend that a severe punishment should
not be visited on both men.
Shortest of Sessions.
The Senate yesterday held what is un-
derstood to have been the shortest ses-
sion on record.
On Tuesday there was a fifteen minute
session, and adjournment was then taken,
ostensib!y out of respect 10 the memory
of the late Representative Crump of
Michigan. Yesterday there was a frank
admission that the Tillman- McL.aurin
episode is TO blame.
There is grave possibility that the
mere brawl between the South Carolina
Senators on Saturday last, serious as il
was. may become the least important in
cident in the case before 1t is settled.
