Secretary Of War is Guest Of Honor at
Banquet in Manila.

Manila, Aug. 9.-Secretary Taft was
the guest Of honor last night at ban
quet given by the combined Chambers
of Commerce at the Grand opera
house. Covers were laid for 500 guests.
The address of welcome was made by
Governor General Wright, who said in
part:
'It may seem somewhat inappropr1-
ate, but think we have a right to ask
you for what our president calls "a
square deal" Whether we are right
fully or wrongfully here is not to be
discussed at this time, but when the
American people takes over the SOW
ereignty of people without their
consent, they will get Il square DEAL

the benefits of the trip, took occasion
to propose Secretary Taft as the next

the navy, Representative Foss, chair
man of the house committee on naval
affairs, declared that it's strength could
be increased. Representative Cooper,
chairman of the committee on insular
affairs spoke on Congress and the

cussed "The Philippines in 1900 and

DESERTED WIVES IN COURT.
New York Magistrate, Confronted by
100 Women, Points to Growing Men,

New York, Aug. 10.-Stirred by the
presence in his courtroom of loo wom-
en- followed by mob Of children, each
woman demanding a warrant for the
husband whom she charged with de-
sertion and nonsupport. Magistrate
Pool yesterday declared that wife de-
sertion is one of the most serious mem
aces to the domestic life that now
confronts New York. After hearing
the charges, the magistrate issued
twenty warrants and turned the re-
manning cases over to the court offl-
GERS for investigation. Later the mag
istrate said:
The large number of cases that are
coming before magistrates in the po-
lice courts show the grave nature of
the problem that the lawmakers must
face
When man tires of a woman or is
attracted by pretty face. all that he
has to do is to refuse to support his
wife, and then when she has him sum-
moned before me he can give bond
for the payment of a weekly sum, and
can go free of interference from the
woman or from the law. / am glad
to say that In the largest number of
cases that appear before me. the hus-
band is of foreign birth.
A serious side to the problem is that
women appeal to the police court for
aid only when they have exhausted
every other means of bringing the hus-
band back to them.
When a woman appeals to me for
aid, i can only summon the husband
and force him to give bond for the
payment of a stated sum each week.
If he refuses can Send him to the
workhouse. Many prefer to go to the
workhouse to paying their wives any
thing at all.
A probation officer in Magistrate
Pools court said he had given the
question of wife abandonment careful
study and that such cases are con-
stantly increasing in number in this
city. He asserted that family inter-
ference and troublesome relatives were
the two causes largely responsible.

able to overtake the Eagle and returned
to port. Collector of the Post Nixon
has now made a demand upon Chief
Campion for S270, a total of $40 for
every passenger over the legal limit
allowed on the fire tug, claiming that
the boat carried too many officers by
twenty-seven.
Chief Campion knew nothing of the
chase of the Yosemite after the Ea gle
until some hours after it had taken
place, and he entered strong objections
to paying the money. He claimed that
the policemen were not passengers N
the ordinary sense Of the word, but le-
gal officers in the pursuit Of criminals.
Collector Nixon was obdurate, how
ever, and insisted that the fire chief, as
the head Of the department, should pay
