TAFT URGES BILL.
Believes Reorganization Of the Philippine
DEPARTMENTS

Washington, ID. q, Jan. 20.-Secre-
tary Taft appeared before the House
committee on insular affairs yesterday
to discuss the Cooper bill providing for
the reorganization of the Philippine GOV.
ernment departments. The bill in ef-
feet ratifies the governmental organiza-
ton brought about by the Philippine
commission and the secretary of war
urged it's passage,
Under the bin the department oil the
interior is granted general supervision
of the non.Christian tribes, excepting
those in Moro province. Mr. Taft said
this was desirable, as the personal at,
tention Of the secretary Of this depart
ment would enable these tribes 70 adj
vance more rapidly in civilization than
they otherwise could.
The committee asked Secretary Taft
to consider the bill further, together
with Gov.-Gen. Luke ~. Wright az the
Philippines, who win be heard by the
committee at its next meeting.
Robert H. Todd, mayor of San Juan,
II. r., also appeared before the commit.
tee. The chief grievance OF Porto
Ricans,, he said, was the present oreani-
zation OF the executive council, or up
per body Of the Porto Rican Congress,
which is composed Of IL members, all
named by the President Of the United
States. As it is required that only five
of these shall be Porto Ricans, Mr. Todd
said the islanders feel that they do not
enjoy as satisfactory representation
as they had under Spanish rule.

The collapse Of the revolution within

When a mouse helps himself to the
cheese in the ordinary trap he takes
one chance in ten Of being caught. If
he had to deal with the trap Illus
trated below there would be one
chance in ten Of escaping alive. This
trap is both simple and practically

tangular in form and is made from a
single piece of wire, one end of the
wire being shaped into a spur. The
striker is of about the same size and
shape as the frame, the two being
connected by cOiled spring at the
bottom, the spring forcing the striker
down except when held upright by the
trigger. The latter is triangular In
shape, and swings freely on the top Of
the sEame. In the center of the striker
is rod which supports a metal piece
which serves as a holder for the bait.
