ring, the participants being Miss Hayes
of the employment company and Mrs.
Edna Miller.
Manager II. ]. Toy was the referee
and score of unemployed persons,
waiting to be given positions, were the
spectators. Miss Hayes easily gained
the decision, for she saw the wisdom
Of getting in the first blow. which put
her opponent out of the ring.
The trouble arose from the fact that
Mrs. Miller had applied several weeks
ago at the agency for employment and
was finally sent to Hotel Robinson at
San Diego to take a position.
She only stayed I'm San Diego one
week, and a short time ago returned
to Los Angeles. About O'Clock yes

during his absence several days ago
company that she represented Hunt
ington and would attend his business
during his absence from the city.
Yesterday when Mrs. Crandall ap-
peared before the commission she was

"At the age of IS years OF age

There was the man, named Hunting

and was married, and after that my
husband took the certificate and went
away.
"I waited for him for several years
and then / went to Texas with my

Equality in Crime.

Colorado Citizen.
With the very worst crimes be-
ing committed by men from among
our most eminent respectable citi-
zens," why is it that justice is so
gentle and generous with them?
Not for lack of moral sentiment;
not for lack of judges and juries;
certainly not for lack of laws. No,
the real basic reason is the lack of
a deep and sincere belief that the
great American, democratic prin-
ciple of Equality. Our law officers,
all those in whose hands is the
machinery of government, came
necessarily from the educated por-
ton of the community. And our
education is tainted with snobbish-
ness. 1t puts into judges, lawyers,

A FINAL SETTLEMENT
Made in the Friar Land Purchase il
Philippines.

Washington, D. C.-Secretary
Taft has approved a settlement ar
ranged by the Philippine govern
ment which completes the purchase
of the Dominicans friar lands in
Philippine islands. These lands in
clude nearly half of those purchas-
ed from the friars and amount to
200, 900 acres.
After the contracts were signed,
it was found that a mistake had
occurred by reason of a difference
in the Spanish and English YER
sions of the SURVEYS. The Spanish
version made the price rate $780,
900 more than the English. 1t was
found that the titles to eight diff
ferent tracts were defective.
While in the islands Secretary
Taft effected a compromise by
which the titles were to be made
complete and the purchase money
paid according to the English yer
sion, while the $500, 900 in contro-
versy was to be submitted to arbi-
tration.
Since his return the secretary has
received a cable from Governor
Wright saying that the Dominican
agents have offered a compromise
by accepting $4,000.
Secretary Taft today cabled Gov
ernor Wright approving the COM
promise. The total amount to be
paid to the Dominicans IS $305, 900.
The money will be paid in New
York about October 20.
