Manila, Sept 4.--American resi-
dents of the Philippines are perturbed
over the seizure by Japanese of Pro-
tus Island, which is in close proximity
to the Philippines. Officials are silent
concerning the incident. Americans
generally agree that the island is
part of the Philippine group, though
the Japanese claim that it does not
belong to the archipelago, because
north of the twentieth parallel. The
seizure was not by accredited repre-
sentatives Of the mikado, but by an
exploring party from Formosa. Though
the island is small and uninhabited,
1t is believed to be of value from a
naval standpoint.
There is also threat of trouble be-
tween China and Japan over the own
ership of Kwanto, or Middle Island. a
rich territory between the headwaters
of the Tamen and Yalu rivers. How
ever, there is in this instance no prob
ability of complications involving the
United States. Niceroy Hui Of Man
churia has sent Chinese soldiers to
dispute with the mikado the title to
the territory.
Territory Rich in Minerals.
Though Korea long claimed SOW
ereignty over the region, China is
believed to have the better title. The
Chinese made no objection. however,
to the presence of Koran as well as
Chinese troops in the disputed tract
before the Russo-Japanese war. It
agreed with Korea that it would be
better to leave the territory to govern
itself when the war broke out, and
both countries Withdrew their officials.
yiceroy Hui seems only recently to
have learned that since Japan's vir.
tut annexation of Korea, Marquis Ito
has sent Col. Cato and small force
of Japanese troops TO assume the ad-
ministration. With Japanese already
in the disputed territory and Chinese
troops on their way, the chances for a
clash are imminent.
The Middle Island population is es
timated at about 100000 Koreans and
100000 Chinese. The territory is OF
fertile soil and is said to have vast
mineral resources.

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

Men are very useful for women to
be married to-
Many people tell the truth because
they think it isn't,
Going on vacation is one way to
learn to do without comforts.
Either a girl is heartbroken be-
cause she can t marry man or be-
cause she does.
A man would just as lief be honest
as not, if it were possible to make
any money that way.
You have to spend an awful lot of
money that you can't afford, to
make people believe you can.
A nice thing about dishonest an
cestors is, how respectable you can
be on the money they stole.
A girl doesn't get real enjoyment
out of being engaged to a man, un-
less he goes away, SO she can write
love letters to him.

KILLS TWO TO
SAVE FATHER
LOUISIANA YOUTH MAKES NEW
APPLICATION OF THE uN-
WRITTEN LAW.
SAYS He FEARED SCANDAL
Declares His Father, Leading Doctor,
Was About to Elope With Widow
Negro Hired to Commit
the Deed.

Millerton, La, Sept. 4.--Benjamin
Baucum, white, aged 20, and Green
Cooper. negro, are in jail at Homer,
held without bail, formally charged
with the murder of Mrs. Lennie Bond
and her 5-yearold son.
According to the officers, who say
that their authority for it is Baucum's
own statement corroborated by the
negro's confession, the arrests clear
the mystery surrounding the killing,
two weeks ago, of Mrs. Lennie Bond
and her 5-yearold son, who were as
sassinated while they slept, being shot
through an open window. Cooper is
charged with firing the shot, and he
says, the officers state, that he did so
at the behest of young Baucum, who
paid him $50 for the deed.
New Unwritten Law Version.
Baucum is the son of DIR. James
Baucum, aged 60 years, a leading ply
sdcian, married, and father of six
children, the eldest of whom is Ben
jamin The officers assert that the
prisoner admits completely in the kill
ing of the woman and her child
though the death of the latter was not
contemplated, and occurred because
It was sleeping between the window
and its mother, and several buckshot
pierced Its body 1t is claimed that
young Baucum plead new applica-
ton Of the unwlitten law, namely
that his purpose was to save his fam
fly disgrace through his father elop
ing with the widow who was 35 years
old aud comedy Benjamin Is qnokee
as saying that he learned his father
was so enamored of Mrs. Bond that
he had mortgaged his property and
intended to desert his family. The
boy pleaded with his father to give
up his mad passion and purpose, ac-
cording to those who claim to have
heard his statement but in van, DR.
Baucum, it is alleged, refusing to lis
ten patiently to the suggestion and
commanding him to keep silent about
the elopement as planned.
Intense feeling prevails against the
negro, who may be lynched but popu-
lar sympathy is for the son. No
charged have been preferred against
the aged physician.
