Two other young women, Alice Kran

He IL. PRAISES |I) TAFT 1T
Chaplain Vattmann Says the Cover
nor Of the Philippines Is
Just Man.
He Adds That Catholic Interests Are
Safe in the Hands of the
Commission.

Washington, May 2.-Extracts from the
report Of Father e. J., Vattmann, chaplain
Of the Twenty-nfnrh United States infan
try, to the Catholic bishops assembly in
annual convention here last week, on the
status of the Catholic church in the Phil
ippfnes, are made public.
Father Vattmann, under, direction Of the
church authorities, recently made a care
full investigation Of Catholic interests in
the archipelago. He is unsparing in his
praise Of Governor~Taft and other mem
bers Of the Philippine commission for their
honesty and impartiality in religious at
fairs. He comments on sthe influence of
Aglipay, an insurgent priest, in the islands
and expresses the belief that, had an
been appointed to Manila, the breach
would not have been SO wide, and would
have been closed quickly. Father Watt
mann regards the present feeling toward
the friars as most unfortunate.
."To my mind,' says Father Vattmann,
| sit is deplorable that certain Of our Cath
Ollie papers persist in mirepresenting Gov
ernor Taft and his administration. He
| is clean and honest man, broad minded
and liberal, with no faint of bigotry in
his composition. His attitude toward the
church and to Catholic interests in general
is simply admirable.
"You may be certain that he thoroly
understands the character and the selfish
designs of the renegade Aglipay, and that
he has a profound knowledge both of the
man and the conditions around him. I
repeat, the governor is honest and impair
| tial, and we have nothing to- fear from
him. can always be trusted to do the
right thing
Commissioner Wright, Governor Taft's
able cOadjutor, also Is fair-minded and
4 impartial. He is straightforward in his
dealings and there is no evasion or hypoc-
risy about him. He is an exceptionally
Igood lawyer, an excellent Latin scholar
and is well versed in common law, O
1 which he has made speciality His wife
q most estimable lady, is a devout Catholic
i Judge Smith, another member of the
commission, is Catholic, and surely ou1
interests would be safe in his hands. Mr.
ferguson, secretary for the Philippines

minded man, with not a faint of bigotry
In fact, the commission itself and all 1t:
