ure Providing for Govern-
ment Of Moros,

Manila. June 10. The Philippine
commission has enacted bill provid-
ing for the government Of the Moros.
Gov. Taft and Maj. Gen. Davis jointly
drafted it. The measure practically
makes the Moro province an autono-
nous colony of the Philippines, which
the Philippine government controls.
and creates an appointive legis.
latiye council to provide local
laws, the commission reserving
the right to amend or annul
them. The council is to be composed
of governor, secretary, treasurer, en-,
gineer, attorney and superintendent
of schools. Gov. Taft will appoint the
officials. The bill will extend the ju-s
risdiction of the Philippine courts and
constabulary to the province, and will
recognize Moro laws which do not con-
fiict with American laws. The meas
ure also directs the codifcation Of the,
tribal laws, creates courts, provides
that the Philippine courts shall try
cases between Moros and Christians,
gives the province its net customs and
forestry collections, and authorizes
the council to abolish slavery. Tho
province is divided into five districts,

military government, and it is ex-
pected that Gen. Leonard Wood will be

Hundred. Of pe.titut. saf.r.rs.

From police reports 1t IL learned
there are 800 destitute Aood sufferers
in St. Louis, refugees from East St.
Louis, Madison, Venice, Granite City
and Kaskaskia. All are destitute.
There are over 1900 refugees in the
city, but the remainder have either SEE
cured transportation to other cities
or are being cared for by relatives and

There were 1900 flood refugees IN
Edwardsville, ILL.,, Monday night, from
the tri-cfties, and Newport. Because
of the congestion it was found neces-
sary to distribute the sufferers In the
cities and villages along the Wabash
as far north as Litchfield.
Four-fifths of the 5000 inhabitants
of Granite City remain within the linz
its of the town. One-half of them are
homeless.
The officials Of Granite City and
those who have been most active in re-
lief work believe that no deaths have

the flood.
At Kansas City.
Kansas City, Mo-, June 10.-Clean-up
work in the food district was retarded
Tuesday both by the lack of water and
men. Hundreds of laboriEg men are
needed and every idle person is being
pressed into service. It is expected
that full force of water will be sent
through the main street soon. The
Twelfth street cable line, reaching
into the stock yards district, has been
started after a ten days shutdown.
The Missouri river has fallen two feet
since Monday. While both the Mis-
souri, and Kaw rivers are lower by IL
feet than last Tuesday, q good portion
of Armourdale and the lowlands near
here is still from two to three feet
deep in water.
Mayor Gilbert, of Kansas City, Kan,
after making a. boat trip through the
Armourdale district, says: "The ruin
in Armourdale is much more enormous
than at first supposed. 1t will require
many months of hard labor to make
that portion Of the city habitable."

BAER TAKES TIKI STAND.
President Of the Reading Railroad
Testifes Before the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
SAYS COAL RATES ARE REASONABLE.
Notwithstnnding Increase Of Trsmo
Cost of Transportation Has In
creased = Reading System Paid
Wage Increase OF $4,000, 900 Last
xear, He Says.

New York, June 10.-Hearing in
the investigation Of the complaint
Of W. r. Hearst against the coal-car-
rying roads was continued before the
interstate commerce commission
Tuesday, when President Baer was
recalled by the commission and ex-
amined by Commissioner Prouty. In
reply to the first question, President
Baer said the rates charged on coal
from the anthracite regions tapped
by the Reading system about $50
miles to tidewater is $1.55 ton.
Baer ON Stand.
Thirty or forty years experience
had shown, Mr.. Baer said, that the
coal could not be carried for less.
Notwithstanding the enormous
increase of traffic." he said, "the cost
OF transportation has increased. The
rates have not increased, but the
cost of all supplies, except steel
rails, has advanced within the last
few years. In wages alone on the
Reading system the increase last
year was s1,200.ooo."
During the strike, Mr.. Baer said, the
Reading system lost more than
$1,000, 900 in freight alone on anthra-
cite, and that was in excess OF the
$4,000 increase in the freights re-
ceived from bituminous COAL For
nearly half an hour Mr.. Prouty ques-
toned witness as to the fiscal report
by the Philadelphia & Reading sys-
tenn and its leased lines. ~
Mr.. Prouty wanted to know why
q gross item of nearly s2,ooo,ooo was
shown in the report as improve
ments," and asked for details.
81 do not understand" Mr.. Baer re-
piled, "that your commission has
jurisdiction over the way the Read
ing shall keep its books or to what
account it shall charge the moneys
expended for improvements"
'eThe commission does not claim
such jurisdiction" Mr.. Prouty re-
Piled, "but has the right under the
congressional provision to know
what the railroad company does with
the money it earns, SO as to be able
10 determine IL AtS CAdASCS dAO AoAA
and reasonable"
Witness said had he known the
commission wanted detailed state
ment of expenditures he would have
had it made out.
All One Company.
In reply to questions President
Baer said the Reading company
owned all the. stock Of the Phila'
delphia & Reading Railroad company
and the Reading Coal and Iron com
| pany.
"Well," asked COMMISSIONS,
Prouty, chow does it make any diff
ference what rate the railroad com
pany charges to the coal company
for carrying the coal?"
eff you reduce the rate on Goa
the carrying company cannot pay its
expenses. Under the laws Of Penn
sylvania the three companies are
distinct. Each has its own expenses
to meet and fixed charges to defray.'
sBut If the railroad earns less the
| coal company will make more?'
| queried the commissioner.
IF you guarantee that a reduction
in the carrying rate will not decrease
the price of coal and so ruin the Goa
company as well as the railroad
your contention may be. correct

Seattle, Wash, June 1O.--With re-

sengers on an electric street car were
forced to surrender their valuables to
two robbers, supposed to be boys, late

sengers' pockets, the other held a
revolver. About $40 and several
watches were secured, no resistance
having been offered.
