Thefts More frequent

During February and March the
thefts became so frequent that the
college authorities decided that II
was time to call in the police. Chief
Gilbert made a canvass of the places
that had been robbed. They were ali
houses in which Miss Wilson was
intimate, where there was at least
one girl who had been won by her
great personal charm-houses that
were at all times open to her
One evening late in March Miss
Wilson went to an Amherst College
entertainment with a party of col
lege girls. Two girls called on her
at the Livermores and were sent
up to her room to see II she was
in. One of them caught sight OF her
purse that had been taken by the
college thief. The other saw hers.

Wood who has arrived here announced
that he assumes the full responsibility
for the fight against the Moros at Dajo
Hill near Jolo. He said there was no
wanton destruction of women and chill,

were killed by force of necessity, be
cause the Moros used them as shields in
the hand to hand fighting
General Wood declared that many
women wore male attire and their sex
could not be distinguished. Another
confusing cause was the desperation
