Fir. Walter Douglas Denies Emphat- iCally as Malicious, the Story That Copper Queen Seeks Removal of Governor Kibbey.

MT. Walter Douglas, general mana ger of the Copper Queen Mining Co. and the Phelps, Dodge &, Co. inter ests in southern Arizona spent yes teTday in Phoenix, returning south last night. He came for the purpose of at tending the supreme court session, in respect of the writ of certiOrdri se- cured on his petition for the Copper Queen Co.,, against the territorial board of equalization, and concerning which mention is made elsewhere in these columns. Asked if he had any comments to make on the days court proceedings he replied that he had none other than that he regretted the delay and would have preferred to have the case tried on it's merits at once.
 But there was one matter about which he expressed himself very free ly and emphatically. An afternoon newspaper published the statement that MT. Douglas had told a represen- tative citizen of Cochise county. that emissaries of the Copper Queen Go. had been to see the president in an effort to secure the removal of Gov ernor Kibbey from office This an nomcement MT. Douglas characterized as not only entirely false but malicious and without foundation in fact what sOever. He desired to strenuously de- ny any knowledge of such an enter prise or any connection with it.
 MT. Douglas was accompanied here by Hon. Ben Goodrich and Colonel Herring, counsel for the Copper Queen company. MT. Goodrich returned with MT Douglas and Col. Herring will re- main here a day or so.

The political situation in some re- spects was not as good as it ought to be. A wave of ladronism has swept over the province of Cavite, and it has been found necessary to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in the province of Cavite and Batangas, the neighbOr- ing provinces. The same was true of Samar but the use of troops in Ssamar and the use of the scouts and con stabulary in Cavite had put an end to this business; however there were two or three men responsible for the keep ing up of ladronism, who had not been captured. Complaints were made against the constabulary, and while many of them were unfounded it was probably true that change in the con stabulary ought to be effected, and it is now under consideration by the gov ernment.
 ''The distressing agricultural depres- sion, due to the loss of seventy-five per cent of agricultural products. cattle. droutn, locusts and cholera, as well as other causes. will probably not cease to be for several years. This natural ly subjects the government to criticism because this alien government is much more likely to be criticised for exist ing conditions, however, free from blame in respect to them. than a na- tive government.

Return of Secretary Taft
 From the Orient
SUMMER TOUR REVIEWED
Comments Briefly on Every ImpOr-
 tant Question in the Far East, in Which This Country is Interested
 and Describes Philippine Conditions

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 27.-Sec- retary Taft and a majority of the party who visited the orient with nim arriv- ed today on the steamer Korea. The steamer broke the record in the home ward run.
 In an interview with an Associated Press representative Secretary Taft said:
 Reports coming from the Philippine islands seemed to indicate that it would be wise for the head of the war depart ment to make visit of inspection to those islands during the past summer, and his going with a sufficient staff was thought to present a good oppor- tunity to form a party of congressman senators and representatives to visit the islands as the guests of the Phil ippine government. The Philippine government was poor and was unable to do more than arrange for the pass age money of the congressmen who would form part of the party. This did not include sleeping car accommo- datiOns or meals along the way, and. indeed, left the congressman to defray from their own pockets by far the larger part of the actual travelling ex- penses. The party, as organized, con- sisted of twenty three representatives and seven senators. Of these. thirteen were accompanied by their wives. In addition. Miss Alice Roosevelt and her friends, Miss Boardman and Miss Me Milan, were of the party and then a number Of other persons. pleasant as- sociates, joined the party numbering about fifty people and the unofficial party about eighty more.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.

We landed in Manila on Saturday. the fifth of August The whole party was taken care of in private houses. as there were no hotels suitable. Tine most elaborate preparations had been made for our reception in Manila. but we arrived one day ahead of time; ac- cOrdingly, all of the reception except the flotilla of boats, which met us in the haTbor, was postponed until Monday morning, when We were given an op- pOrtunity to see in the procession the progress which has been made in the civil government and in the business Os the islands. The procession was cer- tainly most instructive and worthy the character of the municipal or organization of Manila. The character of the school organization and the fire department of Manila showed that their city was now, under American management, an excellent up to date city is still lacking an adequate water supply and a proper hygienic sewer system, but authority has been given by congress to construct both.
 Tt was very gratifying on landing to find that the great harbor works which will probably make Manila harbor as convenient as any in the orient. in the main were completed so that the larg- est vessels were able to land and un- load in stormy weather during the southwest monsoon, behind the break water, something which was unheard of two years ago. The whole appear ance of the city of Manila to one who knew it four or five years ago is

SELMA CITY COUNCIL WILL
 INVESTIGATE POLICE FORCE

4 r been made. have been submitted to the City Council Committee on Police and Fire Departments, and a report will be made by that committee to the Council at the special meeting.
 This action was taken at the regular meeting of the Council tonight, the most interesting and at times the most turbulent ever held by the Council sit ting. For an hour the debate on the disposition of the police cases lasted, Councilman Berry appealing to the Council to consider the sides of the cases of the policemen charged and Councilmen Norris, Agee. Meyer ani Phillips and Mayor Atkins advocating rigid investigation of the general charge against the police force by a committee, and the specific charge against Mosely and Davis by the Coun- cil.
 Charges against Policemen Mosely, and Davis were officially submitted to the Council by Mayor Atkins. whc averred in a supplemental report to the body. that Mosely and Davis had used insulting language to a citizen, mean ing the Selma correspondent of Tho Montgomery Advertiser. and conducted themselves in a manner unbecoming officers of the law.

Councilmen to probe the matter to the bottom and. If the charges are well founded. to bring the policemen to an- swer with all expedience.
 A motion was made to fully investi- gate the charge of the alleged insult and threat to the correspondent of The Advertiser in open Council, but on ad- vice of City Attorney schaffer 1t was decided 1t would be advisable to call another meeting for that special pur- pose. The City Attorney told the Council that under the charter of the city according to all legal process the policemen would have to be officially informed of the charges officially pre- ferred against them. and that the Council should give the policemen sev- eraI days notice.
 "Furthermore," said City Attorney Schaffer, q think it would be justice to the policemen to give them at least five days notice in which to prepare to make a defense against the charges that are brought against them."
 The Council agreed to give Police men Mosely and Davis five days notice and next Wednesday night they must be prepared to appear before the spe- cial meeting of the Council to defend
 themselves.
 Before the agreement of the Council
 that the general charges would be re- ferred to the Police Committee and the
 charge of insulting and threatening
 The Advertiser correspondent to the
 special meeting was arrived at. there was considerable alternate discussion
 and crimination in the remarks of the Councilmen. Councilman Berry, In be- half of the police, vigorously fought the proposition to put the general charges
 in the hands of the committee with the power to summon and examine wit
 nesses. He said the police had right
 to be heard in the matter and quoted
 the law to the Council as to how 1t should go about the investigation of the charges He wanted the general charges to come before the whole body
 of CounciImen. When the vote was
 put Councilman Berry was the only
 member to demur. Councilman Agee
 insisted that the committee be put in
 charge of the Investigating of the gem eral allegations against the police force and the whole Council. with one or two exceptions. sustained him. When Council Agee advocated bringing the case of. the city and newspaper corres- pondent versus the two policemen be- fore the Council special meeting. the other Councilmen voted with him. Councilman Berry to a certain extent opposed nearly every motion made by other Councilmen regarding the charges against the policemen. Several times ! he offered substitutes which failed to pass Several times the Councilman | interposed and his evident negative ness to the will of the Council provoked at one time merriment and at another | turbulence.

 Besides the supplemental message of the Mayor charging the two policemen with conduct ,unbecoming officers of the law. a report was submitted by Chief of Police Walters in which the Chief appealed to the Council to take action .n the matter and advise him as to lifting or enforcing the suspension of Oficers Mosely and Davis
 The Chief impressively laid before Council the merits of the two officers of the police force and asked the body to be considerate in the treatment of the two policemen. inasmuch as they had rendered valuable service to the police force.

Counterfeiter Captured.

Detective Mills, in Federal service at BirminghAm, kast night arrested 6. counterfeiter in this city and expects to capture others who, he thinks, com pose a band working in this section of the State. The man, whose name is un- known, was lodged in the city pris- on.
 Detective Mills followed the counter feiter, a white man. from Mississippi to Selma. The man was working in small towns between this city and Me- ridian, Miss, while the detective was on his trail. On arriving in Selma he was arrested. The prisoner has refused to give his name to the authorities.
 Detective Mills was seen this morn- ing, but was reluctant in talking for publication. He admitted that he had arrested the man, but said he was look ing for others and wouldn't give out any further information until he had them behind the bars.
 It is said that when the prisoner was arrested he was carrying a small valise in which were a large number of couu- terfeit dollars. His method was to ex- change the bogus money for United States currency and gold. It Is not known outside of police circles how much the counterfeiter has amassed aimee leaving Mississippi. but as he is known to have operated in 6 number of small towns in Alabama 1t is believ- cd his swindles have amounted to a great amount.
