large body of people that
ever travelled together, scheduled to
traverse a total of 21,8o7 miles for
the purpose of acquainting through
themselves the whole American peo-
pie with Philippine affairs, is now
on its way to the United States
Filipino possessions.
In the party arc Secretary of Wer
Taft, United States Senators and
Representatives, army and navy Off
GERS, and journalists. They make
the trip on the invitation of the lead
ing business and educated men of
the Philippine Islands, at the expense
of the Philippines while they are in
the islands, and at their own expense
elsewhere.
Their chief aim is 10 study and
have presented to them by leading
Filipinos the exact conditions and
needs of the islands so that they
may in the future vote with more
wisdom and discretion on the legis-
lation brought forward at Washing
ton in the interests of the Philip
pines. Their attention will be called
particularly to the need of doing
away with the tariff against Filipino
products which are brought into this
country; also the necessity of more
railroads in the islands will be
pointed out.
That the tour, lasting in all from
July 4 to October 4, will be educa-
tiona1 and interesting goes without
saving. The members of the dis
tinguislled party will see all the re-
sources, geography, and topography
of the islands; they will visit Japan
ard also touch at Honolulu. In ad-

out and explain the topics of greatest
interest The party will see person
ally the homes of The natives, their
enplo51nents, customs, and .enden-
cies.
Leaving Manila on August SO, the
tourists will return TO their homes
via Hongkong, Shanghai, Nagasaki,
Kobe, Yokohama, Honolulu, and
San Francisco.
Picturesqueness and enjoyment
will be added to the trip by the
American women who will accom-
pany the travellers. Conspicuous
among these will be Miss Alice
Roosevelt, Mrs. Fred T. Dubois,
Mrs Serene E. Payne, and others.
The trip will cost the United
States Government nothing.

MOVING DAY AT STATE HOUSE
Also n Time for Weeping, Waiting and
Crashing Of Teeth.
(Third Floor.

There is a large amount Of knock
ing" going on at the state house today
about the changes which the executive
council has made in the arrangement of
the rooms. Nearly everybody that was
moved thinks that he was given the
worst Of it.
The adjutant generals Office may ask
permission to use the rooms in the
north wing now devoted to the armory
for offices, and put the armOry into the
rooms vacated by the GOss collection of
birds. The bird rooms" are not popu-
lar as offices.
Labor Commissioner johnson thinks
that it is a great mistake to move him
up to the fourth floor. and says that
the two rooms provided for him there,
which he must share with Free EN-
ployment Agent GerOw, are inadequate.
Nevertheless, the work Of moving is
progressing at a rapid rate under the
direction of Custodian J. c. Collins. It
may take several days to get the birds
into their new location, and this will
delay the work of getting the board of
control into their new offices.

PROBE FOR MUTUAL.
President McCurdy Wants His COM
pany Overhauled.

New York. June 29.+It was an
nounced at the Office of the Mutual
Life Insurance company of New York
today that State superintendent of
Insurance Hendricks has made ar
engagements to investigate that com
pany along the same lines as his in
vestigation of the Equitable Life AS
surance Society. The investigation is
at the request Of Richard "A. McCUrdy,
president of the company An official
of the Mutual company who was au-
thorized to speak for President Nc
Curdy gave out the following state
ment:
THE investigation of this company
will be as thorough as it is possible to
make it. The request for the investiga-
ton was prompted by a desire on the
part of the officers OF the Mutual Life
to have the exact status of the COM
pany made clearly known to the public.
The life insurance atmosphere has been
so befOgged by the troubles in the Equi-
table that many persons are laboring
under the impression that others of the
big companies are in the same position
as the Equitable.
"Since the airing of the troubles in
the Equitable, we have received many
various parts of the country telling
US that it was becoming more and
more difficult to secure business on ac-
count of growing distrust of the people,
against all life insurance companies,
and we decided that the best and
quickest way to do away with this dis
trust would be by an investigation. No
matter what the outcome is, the pub
lie shall be fully Informed of it."

Venezuela and the Asphalt Trust


It should be understood that the
prominence given to the matter of the
Venezuelan asphalt concession as a
factor in the relations between that
country and this is due less to its
actual importance than to a desire on
the part of certain politicians and Of
flceholders in the United States to
save the pocketbook of the asphalt
trust. If the influence of this power
full organization shall prove to be
strong enough, we may eventually go
to war with Venezuela Our state de-
partment long ago issued an ultima
tum-an all too hasty ultimatum. as
subsequent Developments have shown
and there are men who. when con-
gresS meets and the whole problem is
passed UP to it for action, as now
seems probable, viii exert themselves
to the utmost to bring about q recourse
to arms on the sole ground of alleged
wrongful treatment of American citf-
zens by our Cousin Castro. If they
and probably not over sanguinary
conflict, the result of which is alto
gether a foregone conclusions and ii
viii also record a fragrant and inde-
| fensible act on our part. Because
of things other than the asphalt con-
troversy it may some time be just and
right for us to discipline Castro; be-
cause of that controversy, as it appears
at present, there viii be not the slight
est reason or excuse for actual hOstil-
tiles, We may justly fight for our
rights or the unfolding Of our basic
policies; if we fight that the asphalt
trust may benefit, we shall invite and
deserve the criticism and the ealumny
of all righteous nations and peoples.
The real head and front of Castro's
! offending is his failure to pay his hon
est debts and deal fairly with the ma
tons his country owes. And this,
and only this, of the things that are
history rather than of the future. may
some time lead to the Waging of a
just war against the mestizo dictator.

Not aTr. Kurn, But c. /. Kerr.

An error was made IN the an
nouncement made in the state Journal
last evening in regard to the appoint
ment of. the chief clerk to General
Manager D. E. Cain. of the Rock Is
land. Through an oversight, the
name of the appointee was mis-spelled.
It appeared in print as Kurn, when in
reality it should have appeared as
Kerr. Mr.. c. I. Kerr, as stated last
evening, was formerly chief clerk for
Mr. Cain while he was superintendent
Of the western grand division of the

before Mr.. Cain was transferred from

Kerr as trainmaster. Mr.. Kerr is now
in Topeka and Is handling the work

NEED MORE POLICEMEN.
Citizens VIII ASK City to Help Pay
Specials.

Citizens in the third ward who pay
for special police protection. will ask
the city council to help them pay for
the hire of special policemen in that
ward. They want to increase the pay
of their guards and are going to ask
the city to appropriate something like
$40 a month to each man.
This is in line with the agitation
which is going on in the residence sec
ton for more adequate police protec-
ton. A resolution has been pending
in the pockets of some of the cOun-
cilmen for some time regarding an in
crease in the size of the force and it
viii be sprung as soon as the es-
Inmates come in from the various city
departments as to the running ex-
penses for the coming year. After
securing these estimates it will be pos
sible TO discover whether the increase
is within reason The residence sec
ton gets the best protection which
the department can give, the size of
the force considered, but the beats are
of such q size that some sections of
the town never see a policeman.
