CHANGE POLICY ON PHILIPPINES.
President Takes First Step Toward
Law Revision

Law nSvISIOn.
President Roosevelt's reference to
tae Philippine question in his speech
at Atlanta, it is learned, indicates the
nature of legislation to be proposed by
his friends in congress this winter.
A bill is to come out of the ways and
means committee providing for the
free entry into this country of Philip
pine products, and also opening the
islands to investment. The restrictions
at present imposed are to be swept
away.
Mr.. Roosevelt's reference in his
speech to unfortunate measures
which have seriously, in some respects
vitality, hampered the development of
he Philippines" marks his first step
away from the policy of The Philip
pines for the Filipinos"
He serves notice that the policy ex-
Guiding capital has failed The Phil
ippines need capital, and there are
two ways of securing it, One is by
alienation of the tariff arrangement
which now levies heavy burden upon
Philippine products exported to the
United States. Another is by remov-
some of the restrictions which have
prvented the direct investment of CAPT.
tai by individuals or corporations from
the states

CUNLIFFE is QUESTIONED.
Pinkerton Detectives Wild in Efforts
to Get Money.

Pittsburg, Oct. 2o.-Edward G. Cum
life, who committed the 100000 theft
from the Adams Express company and
who was captured at Bridgeport, Conn.
is thoroughly exhausted. Upon his ar
rival from the east he was taken to
the local office of the Pinkerton agen-
cy, where he was put through pro.
cess of sweating by the officials.
Notwithstanding the severe examin-
alton given Cunliffe in the Pinkerton
offices, it is said no additional admis-
sions were secured from him. The
prisoner was exceedingly aggravated
when he was told nearly $4,000 more
of the money was found wrapped in a
laundry package in Bridgeport. 1t is
believed he will remain stubborn about
the remaining 1000 and will only re-
veal it's location when he is assured of
clemency by the courts.

"All entertainment will be provided
by the company.

JERRY SIMPSON dies.
he Was FORMERLY congressman
FROM STATE OF KANSAS.
Mr.. Simpson Was Conscious to the
last-FamiIy Was Present-He Was
Unique Character of Congress
Was a PopuIist, Known as "Sockless
Jerry"-FuneraI Wednesday.

Wichita, Oct. 24-Former Congress-
man Jerry Simpson died Monday morn
ing from aneurism of the aorta.
Mr.. Simpson was conscious up to
five minutes before death. The end
came without struggle. He had been
lowering between life and death for
10 days. At the bedside were Mrs.
simpson and their only child, Lester
Simpson, of Roswell, N. H.
The funeral will be held in this city
Wednesday at Scottish Rite temple.
The blue lodge of Medicine Lodge,
Kan, will have charge of the services
at the grave. An autopsy showed that
the cause of death was aneurism of the
thoracic or ascending aorta. This
means that there was an enormous dis
tension of the blood vessel leading
from the heart
Never Changed His Vote.
Washington.-"The Sage of Medi-
cine Lodge" as Jerry Simpson was
called, was in every respect one of
the most unique characters which
a..orn tho histories of congress. He
was swept into the Fifty-second con-
gress by a wave of Kansas populism
charged with the task of reforming the
whole government and living down the
only advance information his col
leagues had of his personality-thath he
wore no socks. The latter task he sue
ceeded in accomplishing in fact, al
though he never quite lost the title
"SOckless Jerry"
His legislative accomplishments con-
sisted in turning popular eastern senti-
ing ridicule to respectful consideration
during his service of six years in the
Fifty-second, Fifty-third and Fifty-fifth
congresses, when he was swept out by
another Kansas wave. There was not
question of congressional action dur
ing that time on which Jerry Simpson
did not think and on which his conclu-
sions were not strikingly and entirely
different from those of any one else.
His language and manner of speech
were quaint in the highest degree, Jer-
ry Simpson always tried to make his
adversaries look ridiculous, always
threw new light on every subject made
q personal friend Of every member of
the house and, his political opponents
declared, never changed a vote on any
IestiCn. AS an entertainer and as a
personality the house came to have the
Warmest regard for him.

Moscow Land Fraud.

Moscow, Idaho, Oct. 24.-The land
fraud cases against Kettenbach, Kes-

were called in the United States court
Monday, and Attorney Borah requested
that the cases be passed until 2 O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon. The request was
granted, and the defendants, who were
seated in the audience, soon retired
from the room.
The most interesting feature of these
cases centers around the close and
secret manner in which the jury venire

SIX were DROWNED
PLEASURE LAUNCH COLLIDES WITH
A BARGE OFF n. ]. COAST.
Captain Vince Undertook to Pass Be-
tween Tug and Barge and Was
Struck by the Hawser and Knocked
verboard-Launch Capsized and
Rolled Under Barge.

Beverly, N. j., Oct. pa launch
containing nine men, all of Philadei-
phia, collided with barge in the Della
ware river, off this place, resulting III
the drowning of six of the occupants
of the little boat. The other three
were rescued by the crew of the tug
barge when the accident happened.
Those rescued are:
Captain John Winch, owner of the
launch; w. F. Russell and ]. Ruther-
ford.
The dead are: William Winch, John
Ellis, John Stevenson, Samuel Heron,
Norman Delaney, James Yonkers.
The launch was hired by eight of
the men, most of whom lived in the
northeastern part of Philadelphia. The
elder Winch took his son along to as
sist him in running the boat. The day
was spent near Croydon, on the Penn
sylvania side of the river. The start
home was made late in the afternoon.
Opposite this place the launch met
the tug Bristol, in command of Cap
tain Mott, which was towing a barge
to Bordentown, N. J. Whether Cap
tain Winch saw the barge is not
known; nevertheless, he attempted to
cross the tugs stern. Captain Mott
hailed him and tried to prevent him
from doing so. Captain Winch was
standing at the wheel of the launch
as he went around the stern of the
tug. The hawser of the tug struck
him and knocked him overheard. Be-
fore the captains son or any other
member of the party could take the
wheel to steer the launch clear of the
barge, the latter struck the frail boat
amidship, capsizing it.
The launch rolled under the barge
and its occupants went with it. Cap
tain Mott put the tug about and went
to the rescue. He and his crew threw
ropes and life preservers to the strug-
Cling men in the water, but they were
able to save only three of them. The
rescued men were landed here by the
tug and cared for at hotel.
Captain Mott, assisted by several
residents of Beverly, went in search Of
the bodies and were rewarded by find
ing three, but darkness put an end to
the work.
Another Accident.
Yonkers, N Y, Oct 23.-Five per-
sons, the body of one having been re-
covered, are believed to have been
drowned by the running down of a
catboat by tug off South Yonkers.
Members of the South Hudson Boat
club heard cries for help out on the
river, and in the heavy mist that pre-
vailed were able to make out the out
lines of capsized sailbOat and of a
tug that was running rapidly down the
river. The cries ceased before the
yachtsmen, who had put out to the
rescue in a rowboat, reached the cat
boat, which they found deserted and
with her side stove in. In coat
aboard the boat they found a list Of
mar IS, which proved to be those of a
par, : who had gone sailing in the poat.
The we're Edward Nelson, the owner
Of TIE boat; his son Edward, Benjamin
BensCl, P. Simpson and Earl Thomp-
son, cil of South YOnkers. The body
