CINCINNATI. May 26.-The cele-
braton of the twenty-fifth anniversary
of the Cincinnati Commercial club
closed tonight with banquet at which
the speakers discussed the questions
of the day. Secretary of War Taft
made the principal speech on POLICY
and Practice" saying:
"If the Panama canal were inside
the territory of the United States of
course all material used on the canal
could pay duty or be bought in the
United States. but as the construction
of the canal is number of days jour
ney from the tariff wall Of the United
States 1t presents exactly the same case
as is presented in the case of the Phil
ipplne islands. Now. if congress wants
to pay more than France was willing
to pay, then it is at liberty to do so,
but in the absence of rule we feel
we must carry out the rule that ap-
plies. The law requires that the prices
and quality being the same, we must
buy American goods. In the absence of
a rule we feel bound by our trust to
build as cheaply as possible. We SUBJ
mitted the question to congress on this
line, asking congress to lay down a rule.
If there is no rule we must build as
a business man would build. Now
there is no question of protection or
free trade it is merely a rule, our duty
under the law as it stands. If the
rule or law is changed, we must
change"
He spoke of the work of the COM
missioners on the canal and praised
highly the men who have been put
at the head of the work. He then
spoke of the relation of the government
to the railroads.
"I cannot but think" he said, 1.-THE
discussion which is now going on has
had a much wider scope than is neces-
sary The question is the passage OF
certain legislation and the discussion
is properly narrowed by consideration
of what that legislation is"
He explained that the present status
of the interstate commerce commits
sion, calling attention to it's reference
to unreasonable rates" and the posi-
tion of the interstate commerce com
mission on the matter. He insisted tha
the measure proposed was yer!
moderate measure and that it was un
fair to denounce it so severely as hat
been done. He believed the changes
proposed by the Esch-Townsend bill
will result in good.

EDUCATION IN THE PHILIPPINES
From thu New York Times:

E
The bureau of insular affairs, war de-
partment, il in receipt Of a number Of bull
letins published by the bureau of educa-
ton, Manila, which show that the sys-
tenn Of public instruction introduced into
the islands is eminently practical.
The purpose Of those who are direct
ing the course Of studies is to exalt the
dignity of labor. Effort is made to
train the eye and hand as well al the
schools two-year courses In mechani-
cal drawing woodworking and IRON
working are prescribed for students
in arts and crafts, and give the STU
dents a fair knowledge Of mechani-
cal drawing, blacksmithing and toolmak.
ing. more advanced course includes
architecture. cabinet making, carriage
ing. There are also courses for machinists
and steam engineering.
Tools and equipment have been secured
for eight different schools with woodmak-
ing machinery and for three schools in
iron working outfits. Particular attention
is given to the care of instruments and
tools.
Particular attention has been given to
normal school work in order to train UP a
class of native teachers for the public
! schools of the Islands, and this course has
been pursued with eagerness by hundreds
of natives, but at present there is no
| institution in the Philippines in which
instruction is given in English of SUI
/, ficiently advanced character to fit stu
dents to enter American colleges. It Is
therefore proposed to offer in the normal
school preparatory courses Of an advanced
nature adequate for the attainment of
! this purpose.
| Another school that will have a pro-
found influence in the development of
the islands is the nautical school. The
| coast line Of the United States, and
as there is at present almost total
lack Of railways, and the highways
being in poor condition for the most
part, the Water Of the archipelago
must continue to be used as q means
Of transportation. There are at present loa
students in the school and every men,

salaries ranging from $275 to $50 per

The course Of study pursued covers q
period of four years and includes English,
mathema acs, navigation, seamanship,
geography, chemistry and history. The
students are from twenty-five different
provinces, and owing to their training,
their Malay blood, and acquaintance with
the water from childhood make excellent
seamen. and are proud Of their pro-
| fession.

The End of the Earthers had their annual
dinner in the Hotel Savoy last evening and
representatives from Buffalo, Harlem
Borneo, the North Pole and a number Of
outlying districts were there, with Poultney
Bigelow from Munich in the chair.
The speeches we're in the nature of a
monologue by Mr.. Bigelow, broken at inter
walls by Mr. Metcalfe from Palestine. Harry
Gaylord from Buffalo. Capt. Franklin from
China and Vest Point, Commander Peary
fromthe North Pole, Prof. Garfield Of Column
bia University from Harlem, and the
Grand Old Man of Borneo, as Mr.. Bigelow
called Granville Altman.
MIR. Bigelow told true snake story about
a python thirty feet long that climbed
down camphor tree as tall as the Times
Building and swallowed lighted lantern
which burned through the snakes Intervals
and set the tree on fire. thereby importing
his, Bigelow's. life, which surely would have
been lost had not Al IAN seen the flames
from distance OF nlty miles and arrived on
the scene just In time to rescue the Kaisers
friend from his deadly peril
The rest of Mr.. Bigelow's speech was
devoted to the consular service in Asia, the
tnRuSn language. tne NOTtu TOle. tne
amiability OF tho Englishman abroad,
impending war with Germany and a few
kindred topics, the whole illuminated by
many anecdotes and ripe, well established
jests
Admiral Chadwick said that Mr. Bigelow
had been on his, the Admiral's, ship at
Tangier for a month, and in that month
had come to know more about the navy
than he, Chadwick. had been able to learn
in all his forty years service. Admiral
Chadwick said that Gen. Albert l.. Mills
of West Point had given him s., ticket to
New York and forty-eight minutes to get
ready in and had then started him to take
Gen. Mills's place at the banquet.
Mr.. Metcalfe said that police Magistrate
was holding up his criminal conspiracy
suit against the theaters and that as soon
as that was settled he was going to the
Supreme Court to find out whether a theater
was public place of entertainment or a
private enterprise.
Commander Peary told Of the shrinking
effect of midsummer arctic cold on the
human body, and said that the arctic ship
Roosevelt, recently launched, was the best
craft for arctic work ever built and that he
had strong hopes of getting to the North
Pole with the ships aid this summer.

CALLER WITH A MURDER TALE.
Sent Flock Of Women Whose Daughters
We're Out tn Police Station.

A young man who wore good clothes
and an aggressive air called on Mrs Bar
teldez at 14l West Sixty-second street last
night. He pushed in as though he owned
the place.
I'm police messenger he said. "I've
been sent to tell you that your daughter
Louise was in company with an Italian girl
who was stabbed tonight in a resort in
West Sixty-sXt street. The Italian girl
was stabbed in the eye. She was beautiful
blonde. Her body il at the police station
and your daughter ia locked up there. We
want you at the station
Mrs, BarteldeZ, whose daughter Louise
was not at home last evening, hurried to
the West Sixty-eighth street station in a
state Of nervous tension. She found the
approach to the desk choked with other
matrons, all clamoring to see the body Of
q beautiful blond Italian girl and to get
their daughters out of jail The sergeant
was trying to tell them that there was no
dead Italian girl in the back room, that
there hadn't been any stabbing in West
SNty-sixth street and that something
was wrong somewhere. The door burst
ing and Mrs. Thomas, all from the same
house in Amsterdam avenue. rushed in
looking for daughters and beautiful blond
Italian girls. In a minute there were two
more.
As soon as Sergt Stevenson got them
quiet he discovered that they had all got
this information from stout, well-dressed
young man, who said that he was n police
messenger. 1t seemed tina t he had travelled
from house to nous, and fiat to fiat, telling
the same tale. Dttect ives Coleman, Doug
lass and Davis were sent out to hunt for
him and see il he had robbed the fats after
the women came away
The women said that their visitor ap-
peared to be neither crazy nor drunk.

Justice Davis d lifyes She Lied and Trutl,
Would Have Acquitted Her.
Supreme Court Justice Vernon Nj. Davis
was tho guest of honor last night at the
monthly dinner Of the Phi Delta Phi Club
at the Hotel Marlborough. The first trial
of Nan Patterson took place before him
and he told some of his impressions of the
case. He said that Prosecutor Rand tried
Nan Patterson properly and he defended
the Assistant District Attorney from criti-
cismS th.t have been made
You can't prosecute Grimm al with
out telling what you believe to be the truth
said Justice Davis. -In the second trial
before me the defendant went on the stand
and it was quite obvious that she was tell
ing falsehoods from the be ginning to the
end. The very air seemed charged with
the fact that she was lying
yet she was woman. She was young
1t was natural that the public should SYM
pathize with her. People seemed to know
that she was not telling the truth, and the
great public Of New York said Why
shouldn't she lie? Let her lie. Let her get
the benefit of her lies"
But to-day. in the light of the last dis
agreement, ] feel sure that most people
are convinced, that a majority of the people
believe, that the pistol that killed Caesar
Young was held by Nan Patterson; was
discharged by her. was bought by j. Nor
gan Smith, in an attempt to get money
from Caesar Young for the support of the
combined family.
Il don't mean to say that she took the
pist oil from the reticule and shot him in the
side but do believe she had the pistol and
showed it to Cesar Young An argu mt ut
followed and he took hold of it, In the
conversation and consequent struggle the
pistol went oil and the man was killed.
Il believe, moreover, that had she told
the story on the witness stand as it really
happened-in other words, had she told
the truth-the second jury would have
acquitted her. She adhered to her lies.
and instead of getting an acquittal there
was disagreement"
