CRUH APPOINTMENT MAY

advised to DO so by Corporation Counsel
George H. Moffett he VIII apply to the
United States courts for restraining
order prohibiting DR.. W. D. Crum from
becoming collector Of the port of

statement was based on the following
editorial. which was printed in the

Some very good lawyers hold that
President RooseyeH's appointment Of
Dr.. Crum TO be collector of customs at
Charleston was in clear and open viola
ton of the provision Of the Constitution
which requires that such appointments
shall be made by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate. and confers
on the President the power only to Fill
all vacancies that may occur in the re-
cess of the Senate the vacancy which
Crum has been appointed 10 fill did not
happen in the recess OF the Senate: OF.
rather, he was not appointed in the re

MISTAKEN POLICY IN
THE PHILIPPINES
President Schurman Points Out Some
of the Defects Therein.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. Jacob Gould
Echurman, president of Cornell univer-
fIty, spoke tonight to 1900 members of
''Our Philippine Policy" His address,
an part, was a reiteration of his views
heretofore expressed, but he was prob
ably more outspoken in his declaration
for the ultimate independence of the
islands AT his request the teachers, by
a rising vote, expressed their opinions,
q majority indorsing his views.
He said the problem was a manifold
one of a military, political ecOno-
91ic and ecclesiastical nature. On the
political side he Endorsed the recon-
mendations of the civil commission and
declared the Filipinos in three years
would enjoy as much political liberty
as Americans, as the rights of the
constitution have been extended, ex-
cept trial by jury and the bearing of
arms. The first they did not value, and
the latter would be forthcoming.
In regard to the economic aspect, he
thought the United States had sinned
by neglect. He criticised congress for
not providing for stable currency.
1T will be a burning shame" he
said, 'if the present congress adjourns
without enaeting a currency law for
the islands"
Other shortcomings of this govern
ment, he said, were the keeping up of
trade barriers and the sending of so
many teachers from this country at
the expense of the Filipinos, in spite of
protests
