ADVENTURES HOPE
MUCH FROM WRIGHT
Think He Viii Overthrow Taft's
Policy in Philippines.

Army officers who are familiar with
conditions in the Philippines say Gov
ernor Taft's resignation of the gov
ernorship of the islands to become Sec
rotary of War will be pleasing to large
proportion of the American residents of
the Islands. Most of the Americans
who are there are striving for political
preferment or are endeavoring TO get
concessions which will enable them to
become rich at the expense Of the ma
tives. Governor Taft has been the con-
sfstent defender OF the natives. He has
given them Office whenever possible. and
has done all in his power to make the
new government acceptable TO the Fill
pinos.
The horde of fortune hunters are
anxiously awaiting the entrance of Gen.
Luke Wright upon his duties as COVER
nor 1t is hoped by these disgruntIed
Americans that ne will overthrow the
Filipinos and place the white men in
absolute control of the islands. War
Department officials who know General
Wright say, however, that disappoint-
ment is in store for the adventures
and are confident he will not depart
from the policy of Governor Taft.

NEW YORK PERMITS
UNNUhBERED AUTOS
Arrests for Such Cause Regarded as
Unconstitutional There.

There is wide difference of opinion
between Corporation Counsel Rives OF
New York city and the local courts re-
garding at least one section OF the au-
tomobile laws in the District and New
York city and State. The section refer
red to is that providing that each auto
mobile shall be numbered.
In answer to the request of General
Greene. commissioner OF police OF New
York city, for an opinion on the mat
ter, Corporation Counsel Rives said: 1T
is unconstitutional to arrest a man be-
cause he neglects TO have a number on
his automobile. / would suggest that
you so advise your officers forthwith"
Some time ago. when the question was
raised in the District courts. in the case
of Carl j. Lockwood against the Com
missioners. it was held that this section
OF the proposed automobile regulations
Is constitutional. The matter came up
in the local court on the petition OF Mr..
Lockwood to restrain the Commission
ers from putting the proposed reguIa-
tions into effect. because Of its unreal
sonableness.
Acting on the advice of Corporation
Counsel Rives. Commissioner Greene is
sued an order 10 the police department

as criminal offense for an automobiIist
to go through the streets with an un-
numbered machine

of the opposing parties in the republic
This attempted union is believed to be
movement to make canal legislation
possible.
The Conservatives are row the gov
eminent party. They have allowed the
Nationalists to elect the officers In the
senate. This is supposed to be the first
step in a movement to combine the Ma
tionalists and Conservatives in an effort
to reconcile the Liberals and elect Gen
eral Reeves to the presidency next year
General Reyes is said to be popular
with all parties. and has expressed de-
sire to have all parties unite. AS he
favors the ratification of the Hay Herran
canal treaty. his election would probably
result in the construction OF the canal
in case negotiations are not declared off
before next year.
Local politics is said to be the ground
upon which the nationalists in the sen

differences are adjusted it is said this
opposition to the canal would end.

Lieutenant Kelly at once went TO Po-

from two-ounce vial half of which
he had swallowed. Father blew his

that no less than four times since she

two children called at Police Headquar-
tiers and asked 10 see Sanitary officer
Frank. To him they said they were
afraid of Edwards, who was in the habit
of coming home intoxicated. and choking
and beating the children. She said he

THE DEFENDER LEADS
LIPTONS CHALLENGER

only hope that the challenger has today
is in splitting tacks with the defender
and picking up some favorite slant of
wind. Whenever breezes favored both
yachts alike, the Reliance not only out
pointed the challenger, but footed along
faster.
The first hour and a quarter OF sail
ing today gave a further perfect demon
stration that in fair wind and smooth
sea the Reliance is the superior of the
challenger at every point. From the
time of start the Reliance kept working
out TO weather. and by footing along
faster, opened a gap of water between
her and the Shamrock that presaged be e.
yond the possible fuke a certain win for
the American.
Not Even Close.
At 1920 p. m. the Reliance and Sham
rock still held to their long port board
due south, with the American leading by
hardly be called exciting. for Reliance
had the lead so well in hand that the
race might better be called procession.
To expert yachtsmen, however the mas
terful manner in which Captain Barr
carried his boat to weather more than
offset the fact that the contest was not
close.
The American skipper seemed to feel
every breath of wind. and with slight
turn of the whel, he kept the Reliance
working along the highest possible lane.
The wind still held southeast. from six
to seven knots in strength, and it
seemed more likely that the yachts
would cover the course within the time
limit Of five and a half hours.
Working along the port tack. Captain
Barr split tacks with the. challenger.
Captain Wringe held along on the port
tack, and after he had crossed Reli-
ance's wake Captain Barr flung the
American about again. They held along
for about a minute, when Cap
tain Wringe tackled ship again to star
board, and was quickly followed by Re-
lance
The racers then stood along on the
starboard tack heading out to sea. Re
lance continually improved her posi-
ton. and at the end of two hours of
sailing held lead of at least four min
utes on the English boat The winds
still held along from the southeast, and
was breezing up to about eight knots
