The most momentous of the above
designations, the one which most
strongly testifies to the patriotism of
the present secretary, was that from
the federal circuit bench in 1900. He
gave up a life position at com
Portable salary and berth of dignity
and comparative ease to assume the
laborS of chairman Of the first Phil
ippineS commission, and later of civil
governor of the new island possess
sons. The exchange was of a GER
tainty for an uncertainty, of a COM
Portable and pleasant home in his
native land and city for expatriation
and exile; it meant taking his family
to a new and semibarbarous country,
where all would be exposed to new
dangers from plague and climate,
and engaging in a new, vast and ex-
ceedingly complicated task. To him
came the first personal call to take
up the white mans burden. Politi-
cally 1t meant only an uncertain fu-
ture. No man could know whether
the president who asked him to make
the sacrifice would continue in Of
flee, whether his administration
would be approved by a tickle public,
or even whether he might not die or
be stricken down by an assassin's
bullet
1t was in carrying out the big task
that he won the very high esteem in
which he seems now generally to be
held. AS chairman of the commits
sion he made a thorough and exhaust
i've study of the island tribes and
conditions, and when appointed as
ed American on the problems with
which he had to deal He grappled
with the task of framing and start

which he was sent to replace, and

MRS. lNcE AND HER THREE Chill.
DREN KILLED WITH AN AK.
HUSBAND AND FATHER IS ACCUSED
But Denies All Knowledge of the Foul
Crime-Gves Himself Up to Officers
Who Force Him to View the CHASTITY
Scene, and Try to Extort a Comics
sion From Him.

Danville, Ark, March GA most
shocking crime was committed last
night near Briggsville, fifteen miles
southwest of here. Mrs. James Ince
and her three children were murdered
in their beds, their heads having been
split open with an ak.
The news reached Danville this
morning at 10:30 o'clock, when James
lnce, the husband and father of the
murdered woman and children, walked
into the law Office of Priddy & Chal-
mers and inquired if Sheriff Briggs
was in town. Upon being informed
that the sheriff was out of town, he
unfolded his tale Of horror to A. b.
Priddy. He stated that someone had
come to his house during the night
and murdered his wife and children;
that he knew nothing of the crime
until he awoke this morning; that he
did not give any alarm because he
and his wife had previously had some
trouble, and he knew the neighbors
would accuse him of the crime and,
perhaps deal roughly with him. For
that reason he had walked to Danville
in order to get some advice about
their murder.
Mr.. Priddy advised him to surren-
der, and took him and turned him over
to Jailer Vosburg, who locked him up
pending further development.
Later advices from Briggsville say
that the crime was not discovered until
about 10 o'clock Neighbors seeing
no signs Of life about the place, went
to see what was wrong, and found the
doors and windows fastened. They
forced an entrance, and CHASTITY sight
was their reward. There on the bed
lay the mother, and beside her was
her Oldest child, girl years old, and
her infant babe, only months old,
all with their heads split open, and on
the other bed lay 2-year-old boy, with
his head almost severed from his body.
An inquest was held and the verdict
Of the jury was that the mother and
children had come to their deaths at
the hands of James Ince, the husband
and father.
Deputy Sheriff Tatum, who was In
that section, came over this afternoon
and took Ince back to Briggsville to
have the preliminary trial, He stated
that there was considerable excite
ment and bad feeling against Ince, but
that they had all promised to protect
him if he was brought back. He
stated that it was the intention to take
Ince to his home, put him in the same
room with the murdered woman and
children, whose bodies were left just
as they were found, and see if Ince
would not make confession.
