NOWANTON DESTRUCTION
Gen. Wood Admits That Women and
Children Were Slain at Jolo.
Wives Of Moros Dressed in Male At
tire, and the American Soldiers
Were Unable to DITerentiate.

Manila, Philippine Islands. Major
General Wood, who has arrived here,
announces that he assumes full re-
spOnsibility for the determination Of
the Moros at Dajo Hill, near Jolo. He
says there was no wanton destruction
of women and children, though many
of them were killed by force of ileces-
sity because the Moros used them as
shields in the hand-to-hand fighting.
Many. Of the. womel. Wore. male attire
and fought desperately, so that their
sex could, not be distinguished. The
, priests had worked the Moros to a re-
ligiouS frenzy. !
Neither in this nor any other fight
has an American soldier killed a wom-
an or child except in 4 close action,
when it was impossible to distinguish.
SEX" says General Wood.
'Those Moros were absolute fanat-
les. The men of the hospital corps
were in constant danger while trying to-
minister to the native wounded. The
MoroS would feign death and slash at
the ambulance men and surgeons with
their knives. When our men were
climbing up the mountain just below
the summit many Of the fanatics
leaped headlong from the edge of the!
crater upon the Americans. Some of.
them succeeded in Selling soldiers in a.
death grip and rolling with them down:
the precipice. 49,
women fought alongside the men,
and many were necessarily killed
Some of the men, holding children be!
fore them as shields, plunged into our
bayOnets and slashed the Americans
with their bolos until it was impossible.
to segregate the inhuman enemy. Ire1
greet the killing. of women and children,
but it was unavoidable. i
"The majority of our casualties were
caused by spears and krises. After the
fight commenced it was impossible to
prevent the humiliation of the Moros.
Surrender they scorned. Even on the
operating table some of the wounded
fought the surgeons. The island is now
quiet"
Secretary Taft had cabled for a full
explanation Of the killing Of women
and children, and General Wood has
sent a reply Of which the foregoing is
the substance.

Railway Whistles.

One long blast Of the whistle is the
signal for approaching stations, rail-
road crossings and functions. One
short blast of the whistle is a signal to
apply the brakes-stop. Two long
blasts of the whistle are a signal to
throw off the brakes. Three long
blasts Of the whistle are a signal that
the train has parted. Three short
blasts Of the whistle when the train
is standing are a signal that the train
will back. Two long, followed by two
short blasts of the whistle are n signal
to the fagman to go back and protect
the rear Of the train. A succession oc
shorts blasts of the whistle is an alarm
for persons or cattle on the track and
calls the attention Of trainmen to dan
ger ahead.

TRUST SECRECY ENDED
The Federal Supreme Bench Sweeps
Down Barriers.
IMMUNITY PLEA IS IN VAIN

Corporations Must Give Incriminatin:
Evidence - Tobacco Trust Beaten
Paper Trust Also Loses It's Case -
Officers In Contempt-Tobacco and
Paper Men Must Appear and Testify
Washington. D. Gin four deciS-
ions handed down the Supreme Court
utters q doctrine of tremendous i'm
portance in the antitrust proceedings
of the near future. The refuge of re-
luctant witnesses hitherto found in
the Constitution, in equity jurispru-
dence, and in the common law-the
principle that mo MAI can be forced
to incriminate himself"-is denied to
trusts.
Books, papers, contracts, secret
agreements must be produced when
called for, whatever the effect upon
the trust before the bar or upon its
officers.
The immunity law passed by Con-
gresS, protecting witnesses under the
Antitrust act, is construed to mean
that only the individual witness shall
receive it's benefits, and that he is not
excused from testifying against his
corporation OF the officers thereof.
Neither can the trusts withhold their
books and papers on the ground that
to publish their business secrets would
be to injure them materially.
These sweeping decisions are the
%outgrowth of a Grand Jury inquiry
into the Tobacco Trust in New York
and a civil suit against the Paper
Trust in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Officers of companies composing the
two trusts had refused to produce
their books or to answer questions
concerning their alleged conspiracy to
control commerce. They declared
that the Constitution relieved them
from having to give such testimony.
They discovered that it does not.
The tobacco cases were decided first,
and furnished the authority for the
Paper Trust decisions. In the Tobacco
Trust cases tue opinion was written by
Justice Brown, who is oon to retire
from the bench. In the paper cases
Justice McKenna wrote the opinion,
and cite Justice Browns decision by
way Of precedent.
In the tobacco cases the defendants
refused to produce their books before
a Grand Jury which was after the
facts concerning their alleged conspir-
'acy. In the paper cases they refused
to produce their books before an exam
liner who was trying to take testimony.
On every issue they have lot, and ap-
parently there is nc refuge for a trust
at any stage Of a proceeding between
the Grand Jury and the Circuit Court.
The tobacco case. the case of Hale
Us. Henkcl. was decided adversely to
the trust by ever to two, the dissent
ing members being Chief Justice Full
Ter ID Justice Brewer. Justices Har-
Ian and McKenna concurred only in
the result. The Paper Trust cases
were decided unanimously.

AWFUL SUFFERING
From Dreadful Pains From Wound on
Foot System ALI Run Down-Mi-
raculeus Cure by Cuticura.

raculous Cure by Cuticura.
words cannot speak highly enough for
the Cuticura Remedies. l am now sew
enty-two years of age. My system had
been all run down. My blood was so bad
that blood poisoning had set in. l had
several doctors attending me, so finally l
went to the hospital, where l was laid
Up for two months. My foot and ankle
were almost beyond recognition. Dark
blood flowed out of wounds in many places
and l was so disheartened that l thought
surely my last chance was slowly leaving
me. As the foot did not improve you can
readily imagine how l felt. l was simply
disguised and tired of life. l stood this
pain, which was dreadful, for six months,
and during this time l was not able to
wear a .hoe and not able to work. Some
one spoke to me about Cuticura. The con-
sequences were | bought a set of tie Gu
ticura Remedies of one of my friends, who
was a druggist, and The praise that | gave
aftei the second application is beyond de-
scription; it seemed a miracle, for the Gu
ticura Remedies took effect Immediately.
I washed lie foe with the Cuticura Soap
before applying the Ointment, and l took
the Resolvent at the same time. After
two weeks treatment my foot was healed
completely. People who had seen my foot
during my illness and who have seen it
since the cure can hardly belle e their
own eyes. Robert S~choenhauer, Newburgh,

farmers do on good land. One man.

good health and ffty-seven cents. now
owns 1GO acres free from debt, while
another who came here with $1,000 in
money at the same time is preparing
to let n money shark foreclose on his
half section ard leave the Territory.
A cracker barrel philosopher the other

The use Of the steam engine Is in
creasing faster today than ever before.
Many mammoth Industrial plants are
exclusively engaged in building steam
boilers and engines, and it is the proud
boast Of one of these, the Atlas Engine
Works, Of indianapolis, that 1t aver
ages a complete boiler and engine outfit
Of fifty horsepower every thirty mia
utes of the working day.
When the visitor to their plant has
gone through two or three Of their
great warehouses, and energies upon a
boiler yard of twenty acres, he Won
ders where upon earth use can be
found for all the boilers and engines.
But, if he will watch the loading
process, he will see some ten or twelve
trainloads per day 60 out, labeled for
destinations all over the world, and
will gain some notion of the magnitude
of the worlds work. Then, when be is
told that this one concern, leviathan of
the trade though it is, does not produce
ten per cent. of the worlds output OF
steam boilers and engines. he will be-
gin 10 realize how vast is the produc-
ton and consumption Of steam power
throughout the world.
The product Of this one plant, which
builds every type and size of horizontal
steam engine, affords an interesting
study Of mechanical evolution. The
balanced sl%ide-valve, the shaft gov
ernor, the rotating. or Corliss valves.
self-oiling devices, compound cylinders
and direct connected shafts are only
the more visible Improvements. The
built-up connecting rod, the removable
hearings, improved piston construction,
stronger and lighter designs Of bed,
more intelligent designing Of all recip-
rocating parts, better selection Of ma
terials and more accurate workman
ship throughout are some Of the things
that ~differentiate the engine Of to-day
from that Of half a century ago.
The changes in boiler construction
have not been so numerous, but they
lave been quite as marked. In the out
put Of this one concern can be found
every size and type Of boiler, from the
little horizontal tubular Of fifteen
horsepower, to the new Atlas water
tube, which puriies its own water.
| superheats its own steam and gives the
highest efficiency yet accomplished in
boiler construction.

Rational Walking.

Walking may be the best or the
worse of exercises, according to
whether it is done with some pleasant
object in view. or with an agreeable
companion, or whether it is done only
as a troublesome duty prescribed by
the doctor. SO with all sorts of eXer-
cises, employments or games, the ma
ture Of the associations connected with
them is of more consequence than the
special muscles involved, and the mod
crate training of the attention i n a
healthy direction should be the object
of chief Importance.
