Civil Courts Must Decide.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.--secretasy Root by decision just rendered prac- tically has thrown into the hands of the civil courts in the Philippines for decision the controversy between the two elements in the Catholic church in the islands, which has developed into an actual schism. The schisnatics un- der the leadership of a priest known by the name of Agilpay have retained possession of large amount of church property which is claimed by the Cath olic church, and the latter appealed to Governor Taft to dispossess the schis- matics. The governor held that the question was one for the adjustment of the civil courts, and the case came to Washington on appeal Secretary Root has sustained Governor Taft's view.

HE'S WORN SKIRTS 20 YEARS.
Becker" Says He Did It So as to Hold
 His Job as a Cook.

His Job as a Cook
 New York, Jan IA crowd gathered at Third avenue and Fifty-second street yesterday to look at what appeared to De an intoxicated woman doing some high kicking. Detectives McMullen and Heany took the kicker to the East F1fty-frst street station. where the prisoner was recorded as Lena Becker Of 4O1 East Fifty-fourth street
 The sergeant at the desk noticed a good sized mustache under the prin- oner's veil and sent for Flower hos pital ambulance so that the surgeon might decide the prisoners sex. Dr Quirk said the prisoner was a man masquerading in female attire and he was taken to the Yorkville police court
 He said there that he was 4S years old, and declared that he had worn women's clothing for more than twenty years. He explained that he could make living as cook more easily by wearing women's garb. He declared that he had gone so long under the name of Lena Becker that he had, for gotten his real name. He had no diff culty in passing as woman cook, he said, and was really good hand at the business and got good wages. He oc casionally went on drunk and lost his position, he said.
 Magistrate Barlow committed him tc the workhouse for six months.

NEGRO l1GHWAYMAN.
Tears Chatelaine Bag from a Woman's
 Belt and Flees Like a Sprinter.

AcdTS CudCeidlue Dug IrOm a VOMdH
 Belt and FIees Like Sprinter.
 New Haven, Jan IA negro walked up to Mrs George T. Culver last night at dusk, seized her roughly about the waist with one hand, while with the other he wrenched away the chatelaine bag from her belt, to which it was fas- tened in the usual way by chain.
 Give me that d-m you" he said, ''and don't holler."
 Before Mrs Culver could have made loud noise, if she had desired to do so, her assailant had obtained posses sion of the bag and had bounded away with the speed of 8 sprinter.
 The assault occurred between Dick erman and Goffe streets, while Mrs Culver was on her way to her home at 1O4 Bristol street The locality Is by no means unfrequented and Is the last place in the world that a highwayman ordinarily would select for the con- mission of such a crime
 Mrs Culver was badly frightened. She called for help as soon as she was convinced that her assailant was out of hearing, but there being nobody i'm medtately in sight she went to her home, where she arrived to tell the story breathlessly to her husband. At o'clock the news reached police head quarters and men were sent out. 1t is expected that the highwayman will be 1 apprehended, although Mrs Culver can give no description of him, except that l he was a negro and ''burly"
 This may be the negro who appeared in the neighborhood of Bristol street a few days ago and made himself ter TOT by walking up behind women pc I destrians and hugging them.
 The crime was profitless one, fol Mrs Culver's bag contained only a few pennies in change and piece of cloth 1 which she intended to match at one o. the dry goods stores some day.
