PLAN TO DISPLACE SLAVERY
General Wood Works Out the Big
Problem of the Moros.

Problem OF the MoroS.
Manila, Dec. 12.-General Leonard
Wood has proclaimed in Moroland an
anti-slavery law. passed in October
last by the legislative council of the
Moro provinces. Upon the promise of
the sultan and dattos to abide by its
conditions, General Wood has sug-
gested to Governor Taft the establish
ment of the native Moros on lands
which will be assigned to them by the
sultan and dattos at rate of valua-
ton sufficient to provide the latter
with moderate income from the
rentals. He believes they will accept
proposition of the kind. Disturb
ances from outlaws are dying out
throughout the interior provinces and
less ladronism is reported than ever
before.
Governor Taft. it has been decided,

pacity after his arrival in Washing

HOW CHEAP BAKfNG POWDER Is



A recent seizure OF lot Of CHEAP
baking powders by & he authorities of a
neighboring city has exposed the char
acter of the low priced brands of baking
powders which many manufacturers are
Offering throughout the country. The
price Of the powders first attracted at
tentioa to them. Samples were taken
and analyzed. The official report OF the
analysis showed the stur to be "alum
powders composed chiefly Of alum,
sulphuric acid and pulverized rock. The
powders were declared dangerous to
health and several thousand pounds
were coniiscated and destroyed.
Physicians have frequently cautioned
consumers against mixing food with
these so-called cheap baking powders.
They are all found, when analysed, TO
contain large percentages of alum and
suphuric acid to which are added vari-
Gus sorts Of filling matter sometimes
both Injurious and nasty.
The high class, cream OF tartar baking
powders, are the most economical and
wholesome and should always be Sc
lected for use. They will be found
cheaper in the end, besides making the
food better and more healthful.

ANOTHER WOMAN ROBBED.
Thief Snatched Miss ShaW's Purse
and RAN

4 robbery similar to that which occur
red on South Main street one night this
week, when Miss Grace Lindsay lost a
purse containing six dollars, was reported
to the Eagle yesterday afternoon. The
victim is Miss Cora Shaw of 1856 Ellis
avenue.
Miss Shaw was at the Missouri Pacific
passenger station awaiting the train for
Clearwater one evening last week. She
was accompanied by a cousin, a man
named Bradley, of Illinois.
Miss Shaw noticed big roughly dress
ed man watching her closely. but thought
little of the occurrence. While she was
engaged in conversation with her cousin
some one snatched her purse from be-
hind and ran TO the east door of the
waiting room. AFR. Bradley gave chase,
but the man ran too fast. He got clear
of the door and disappeared in an alley.
While Miss Shaw did not tell the exact
amount of money confirmed in the purse,
she SAYS il was quite sum. The purse
she priced very highly on account of IL
having been given her by friend. 1t

WILL LIVE THERE.
Anthony Paper Has Something to Say
of MCGOWAN.

The Anthony Republican has the fol-
lowing to say of a well known Wichitan:
Vice President MCGOWAN of the An
fhony Wholesale Grocery company has
sold his large retail tea stores in Wichita,
Hutchinson and Springfield, Mo-, and
will probably put in most of his time in
Anthony, looking after the interests of
the Anthony wholesale grocery.
Although but little more than a year
old the institution has prospered so the
management feels there is no question of
fits permanence or its future. The COM
parry bought the building it occupies
some time since, and has added many
convenences and facilities. In one short
year the two-story block 50xl40 feet with
large storage ceier is outgrown.
The two lots just west of their build
ing have been purchased for an addition
to their building equal to or larger than
their present block. Work viii probably
begin on the new building early in the
spring.
The Anthony wholesale Grocery COM
pany from President Brooks down. is
potent and unified force for business for
Anthony. They keep always in mind
that the best way to get business for
themselves is to make their customers
interests their own.
How we'll they do this was recently
shown in side light talk with one of
the owners OF the big Kansas City Baking
company who Travelled all over this terri
tory in the interests OF his company. He
said that in all his travels he never sold
TO a class of merchants who were a unit
that the orders should all be filled
through one house, and that house the
Anthony Wholesale Grocery company. 1t
was not only an unusual compliment, but
q profitable one also.

Committee Reports Much En-

DR.. ]. C. McReynolds of Topeka. chair
association, the man who is hunting a To-
cation for the branch Of the Battle Creek
Sanitarium that is to be built in Kansas.
arrived in the city yesterday morning for
a conference with the committee that
was appointed 10 raise by subscription
the bonus asked by the Battle Creek peo-
pie before they would build here.
DR.. McReynolds was seen at the sani-
tarium On Market street yesterday after
noon and stated that he came here 10 find
out what had been done by the commit
tee, how much money had been raised.
and what the prospects are for raising
the amount required by the corporation
He said that the Battle Creek people
are particularly anxious TO build in Wich-
ita. 1t was after a thorough investiga-
ton that they arrived at this conclu-
sion.
He further said that the sanitariun. IL
built here would be a large one capable
of accommodating about 200 patients and
would be a credit to the city. The cor
poration asks that slo,ooo he raised by
the city and when this is done the SAM
tarium would be built
The Chamber of Commerce took the
matter in hand and appointed the follow
ing committee to raise the money by
subscription: j. NJ. knapp, chairman; j.
H. Stewart. ]. NJ. Allison and G. l.. Da-
wilson. This committee has been at
work but has &, succeeded in raising the
required amour on account of the fact
that they have been busy and could not
devote the proper time to the work Mr..
Knapp said yesterday that the commit
tee has met with much encouragement in
the work they had done and that the
prospects are bright for raising the fun
amount in a very short time. The COM
mittee did not make known the exact
amount of money raised at this time, but
at the next meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce they VIII file their report and
then definite action will be taken. Mr.
Knapp said this matter was an import
ant one to the city and should be looked
after. The sanitarium will be as large
as The one a. Boulder, Colo. and will
no doubt be an important addition to
the city He also said that when these
people get started in a city they never
let go but always continue to build up

George Ralston, the man who was in
sured by jumping from a buggy to which
TWO runaway horses were attached was
taken to the Wichita hospital yesterday
afternoon His injuries are more serious
than was thought.
In the account of the accident given in
yesterdays Eagle il was stated that the
mans name is Daley. Ralston was in no
condition to give his name and by
stander, who thought he knew the man.
told the police that his name was Daley.
His name was thus entered On the books
at headquarters.
Ralston who has lived in Kansas for
years and who is well known, has been
employed at the Walton feed yards on
ST. Francis avenue for the past five or
six months. His father resides at Okla
homa City.
When the runaway occurred Ralston
was driving with Jean Aultman, stock
man, to whom the rig belongs. Both
jumped and Aultman escaped uninjured.
All day yesterday Ralston was partially
unconscious as the result of a wound on
the head which he received when he
alighted on the pavement Last evening
his condition grew worse and it was de-
cided to take him to the hospital
Up to a late hour last night he was still
unconscious. The hospital authorities
say that while it can not yet be learned
definitely it is feared that besides the in
juries about his head Ralston is injured
internally. His father has been notified
OF the accident and is expected to arrive
in the city some time today

MAN WAS ASPHYxIkTED.
He Was Found Dead in Bed at Newton
Hotel

V. w. Mendenhail of Haviland, Kan,
who spent Wednesday in Wichita visiting
friends and shopping at the different
stores, was found dead in bed yesterday
morning at the Hotel Newton at Newton.
He had been asphyxiated.
Mendenhall was found at the hotel by
a chambermaid who detected the odor of
gas coming from The room. She notified
the proprietor and he broke open the
door. He found the gas jet turned on TO
its full capacity.
1t is not known whether the man s
death was accidental or intentional. The
former theory however, is said to be
the most probable for so far as can be
learned Mendenhall had no good reason
for committing suicide.
He was a real estate dealer at Havi-
land and was to have been married short
