Independence OF the Philippine islands de-
veloped the fact, according to a consensus
or opinion among the congressmen present

immediate independence. Apart from the
problems presented in the civilization ~
the Igorrotes. the Moros, Macabebes and
other tribes, II would be cruel II is he
neved, to the people Of the islands at large
10 turn them over to the mercies of
theorists and demagogues. They wouId
then experience the worst kinds OF ex-
ploitation.
The statements OF the speakers AZ tho
meeting were widely divergent. those ~
the "mercenary' faction being in contra AZ
with the native agitators.
The provincial governors when tba,,
were heard emphatically declared that the
whole people of the islands were UNIT for
independence for many years. II deveI-
oped during the session that the two prIn-
cipal agttators had been under sentence
for various crimes.

ENDORSES PUTS AND CALLS
Chicago Board of Trade Votes 20 Re-
establish Form of Trading
Prohibited by Law.

CHICAGO, Aug. SO.-Tradlng in puts"
and calls" is to be re-established by the
Chicago Board of Trade. BY vote of the
members Of the exchange, resulting in 500
affirmative and 254 negative ballots, the re-
sumption of this form OF trading was de-
cided upon today. Privilege trading was
abandoned here some time ago when the
Board of Trade began a crusade against
bucketshops. An amendment providing for
the expulsion Of any member who enters
into contracts II aware he is insolvent was
, also voted upon. The question of the re-
establishment Of puts" and "calls'' was
raised by believers in that system who
caused the amendment TO the rule to be
submitted to a vote by means of a petition.
This virtually forced the board to officially
express Itself on question covered by the
statutes carrying penalties for violation.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. SO.-The action OF
the members of the Chicago Board of
Trade today In voting to re-estabrish the
system OF trading in puts" and calls"
causes no apprehension in Milwaukee, in
which market dealing in 'privileges' has
been carried on almost exclusively since
prohibitive legislation was put into effect
by the Illinois legislature thus making IL

Contractor f. A. wicixham, who is laying
the conduts for the Council Bluffs Inde-
pendent Telephone company. fell afoul Of
the city authorities yesterday and the work
OF relaying tho granite pavement on South
Main street was ordered stopped by Mayor
Macrae. City Marshal Richmond carried
out the mayors order and an officer was
detailed TO see that no more paving was
relaid until further orders
For some time complaints had come to
the mayors once that the granite paving
which had been torn up for the telephone
conduits was not being properly reiaid and
an investigation was started by the city
authorities yesterday afternoon. The result
w7s that the work OF relaying the granite
blocks was stopped and the city council
has been called to hold a special meeting
this afternoon to take action in the matter.
The cause OF complaint was that in re-
laying the granite blocks the workmen were
placing the blocks further apart, with the
result that Wickhan was able to haul away
several loads Of the blocks instead Of pla-
cling them in the street. 1t was also charged
that Wickham failed TO place back the base
OF broken stone and was relaying the brick
on dirt 1t was alleged that wickham was
hauling away load after load of the broken
stone TO his brickyard and that he intended
using 1t In the construction OF the cement
sidewalks for which he has the contract
At the city hall yesterday afternoon It
was stated that Wickham would be required
to take up the greater part of the pavement
and relay It as 1t was before the excava-
uons were made for the telephone conduits.
The city council this afternoon will also
discuss further the question of raising the
tracks and bridges of the Northwestern
railroad at the Broadway crossing. The
committee. IN charge of the dredge has been
unable TO secure a watchman as instructed
by the council and this matter will come
up for another round at the meeting this
afternoon, according to the call issued by
Mayor Macrae yesterday.
