PEST OF The PHILIPPINES
A NebraskAn Pictures the LadrOne as he
is at Home,
MOST DEsPlCABLE CRIMINAL ON ISLANDS
Nature of His Grimes Outlined by
Judge Norris-EHorts of the
Government TO Exter-
INMATE the Pest.

Hon. w. +. Norris, formerly on the dis
trict bench Of Nebraska, now judge Of the
Fifteenth judicial district, Capiz, Philippine
islands, draws an instructive character
sketch Of the Philippine ladrone, for whom
much sympathy is expressed in certain
quarters in this country. In letter TO
The Bee Judge Norris says:
In a recent publication entitled Our
Philippine Problem the author refers TO
the ladrone of this country as THE benih-
cent protector Of the people" During six
years residence in the Philippines, part Of
which were spent in the capital and part
in the provinces, with exceptional oppor-
tunities for observation Of the life and
character Of the people Of the lower classes,
feel justified In the statement that the
Filipino ladrone is the meanest and most
despicable OF criminals and that he is so
regarded by all classes OF the population,
detested alike by rich and poor and out
lawed by all authorities that have held
sway In any portions Of the archipelago
Spaniard, insurgent and American--all re-
garding him as a public pest whose ex-
termination is imperatively demanded by
the public welfare, which contamination
bids fair TO be speedily accomplished
through the strenuous efforts being made
by the insular government
Levying Tribute on the Rich.
The rich man has suffered through forced
contributions to the ladrone to save his
sugar crop from destruction, though this
species of exactIon is much less frequent
than formerly. The poor man has been
and still is his chief victim. his meager
property being at the mercy of the outlaw
bands who infest the country districts.
The pacifcation of the country is retarded,
its tranquility continually disturbed, agrl-
culture nterfered with, all business de-
pressed through the operations Of the
thleving bands styled by Mr. Willis 1.-THE
benifcent benefactors OF the people"
The ladrone is a robber, the Spanish word
meaning either thief or robber, as most
robberies are committed by small bands OF
| armed men, the term ladronism in this
country is understood to mean robbery
where several participate in the act. La
dronism is known to the Spanish Filipino
criminal code as robbery-in-band, the name
appearing more frequently on the criminal
calendar than that of any other offense
known to the courts. The crime, consist
! fng in general of forcibly depriving a poor
family Of it's meager stock of provision
and clothing and the single cariboa or
whose labor he depends for the cultivation
of their little patch Of land that supplies
the rico constituting their principal food
! The ordinary band of robbers consists Of
from three to twelve men, though some
times gang Of fifty or more will assault
an isolated barrio or small pueblo or th'
dwelling of a wealthy family where their
is some probability of resistance, thes'
gentry never undertaking enterprise II
which there is risk of life or limb. Tit
cowardly ladrone is the meanest and mos
