The Appellate Division Of the Supreme Court
has reversed the judgment Of the lower court
and granted new trial in the case Of Mrs.
inertia Acton against Frederick A Reed and

Hotel. The case was tried before Justice Amend

man Acton In the Park Avenue Hotel fire on
February %, 1902.
Mr. Acton occupied a room the sixth floor
Of the hotel. He was sUffOcated while trying to
escape from the burning building. His widow,
the plaintiff, said his death due to the
negligence Of the defendants. The allegations
as to negligence included the statement that a
door on the sixth floor leading 70 an interior
stairway was locked at the time Of the fire

lance whether it was locked not since the
testimony was not Contradicted that Mr. Acton
did not even try that door. Instead he locked
the door Of his own room and proceeded by an
other stairway to the floor below.

Washington. May 5.-Secretary Taft spoke
informally before the National Geographical
Society tonight about conditions in the Philip
pines The talk was largely a reply TO criti
cisms of the administration Of and conditions
existing in the islands The criticisms to
the effect that the government spent too much
money In education, employed too many public
officers. referred 70 the lack Of good roads,
spoke OF the civil service, thought the govern
ment too expensive and referred to Chinese
immigration. The Secretary replied with vigor
to tho criticisms, declaring that in view Of the
peculiar conditions existing they not we'll

lures for education ere essential to the proper
development of the Islands. The attitude of the

up a body of 10000 or 5000 Filipino teachers
to educate the people in a new common Ian
guage. language Of free institutions to teach
the people to dignity labor and instruct every
man to use his mind and hands to a purpose.
Regarding the criticism that there were too
many public officers in the Philippines. Secre-
tary Taft said the government would be much
more efficient If American were in charge in
every province, and great Improvement would
result. But. he added, the effort TO teach the

people as much self government as possible the
primary rule and policy in dealing with them
being honesty and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Secretary Taft touched improvements in
roads and spoke particularly Of the opening of
the electric line in Manila. No city in the world
needed street railroad more. and its construc-
ton would reduce the price OF living to the peo-
pie who had been compelled 10 utilize animals
largely for transportation purposes. The i'm
provements to be made in the harbor of Manila
would make it the finest in the Orient.
The Secretary said he knew the government
was expensive but ne pointed out many rea-
sons which, he argued necessarily made this SO
He agreed with the charge that there were too
many Americans in the government but said
the number would be gradually reduced as time
went on. He agreed with criticisms regarding
the tariff and expressed the hope that 1t would
