Regarded Penalty as Excessive.

When Jesse Nelson was fined $50 in the
Police Court today for an alleged assault
upon George Ballenger, a Waterman at the
navy yard, last evening, he looked back at
Judge Mullowny with an injured express
sion upon his countenance that plainly
told that in his estimation he had a great
deal more than was coming to him.
According to witnesses heard during the
course of the trial Nelson worked all day
yesterday at the navy yard upon q barge,
and at the close Of the days work some
one, it was stated told him Mr.. Ballenger
was going to have him fired" When
upon the stand he said that the iuforma-
ton was very aggravating to him. He de-
clared. however. that in the alleged assault
upon the Waterman he did not attempt to
use small penknife. as had been stated.
He admitted striking the Waterman, who.
1t Is stated, barely missed falling into the
river as the result OF blows received.
Judge Mullowny was of the opinion that
the best thing to do under the circum-
stances was to put Nelson away for
awhile, and accordingly entered fine of
$50 In default of payment he will go to
the farm for thirty days.

Forty-Five Days at Workhouse.

Odds Morrison, about twenty-five years
of age, was standing in the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad station yesterday afternoon,
when he was ordered to leave the place by
Private Policeman Eugene Darlington. He
said it in such an offensive way" said
Morrison to Judge Mullowny today, 'that
1 thought would stay awhile
"Oh, that was the way Of it," said the
court You thought you would stay
awhile after the officer told you to get
out?"
Eyes, that was the way of it," continued
the prisoner, assuming an air Of one ex-
pounding a great truth.
Then Judge Mullowny recalled to Morri-
sons mind that he was charged with as
saulting the officer, and the reply was:
"Well, he hit me, SO I just swung my
arms around, but you must believe that I
never touched him."
The court was not so sure Of Morrison's
veracity about that, SO a fine of $25 was
entered and the prisoner walked back to
the dock to begin a sentence Of forty-five
days at the woFkhOuse.

PILIPINOS SURPRISED.
OVER DEFEAT OF SENATE
AMENDMENT TO BANK BILL.

MANILA, February 2S.-There is general
surprise here among the Filipinos at the re-
cent action of the United States Senate in
defeating the amendment offered by Sena-
tor Culberson to the act establishing ma
tional bank ia the Philippine Islands. de-
claring the intention of the United States
to abandon the islands as soon as stable
currency should be established. The pro-
gressists express satisfaction with the SEN
timent of the amendment, but deplore the
time selected in view of the Japanese war
talk which has caused excitement in the
provinces surrounding Manila. In some in
stances the inhabitants left the towns and
hid in the mountains. One town was de-
populated recently by the exchange of sa-
lutes between warships, which caused the
idea to spread that the Japanese were ell
tering the bay.
The commission is doing it's best to allay
the alarm. Commissioners Tavera and Lee
garda made special tours of the provinces
explaining the Japanese situation, and quiet
was about restored. The people were, how
ever, still in an excitable condition when
news of the action on the Culberson amend
ment came. The native newspapers regard
the action as inappropriate, as the war talk
was bringing the Filipinos closer to the
Americans.
The Political Effect,
The independents talk in the same strain
and declare the Senate is likely to make
Independents out of any conservatives who
have refrained from entering the campaign
for the assembly.
One of the leading newspapers, seeking to
minimize the Importance of the defeat OF
the Culberson amendment, 1nterprets the
action to mean that Congress does not con-
slider the American withdrawal an appro-
pirate one at this time, and hence voted the
amendment down.
With reference to the proposed establish
ment of an agricultural bank, sentiments
of satisfaction are entertained by both con-
servatives and independents, who see In this
movement the cementing of closer bonds
between the two countries. The comment
of the press expresses general satisfaction
with the prospect.
The Philippine commission will soon move
from the capital to Baguio for the not sea-
son. Gov. Smith is to leave Manila March =.

The pressure brought to bear on the

with the development of the countrq.
Continued prosperity is the case Of this
and in most all cases the railroads are
frank ana fair enough to say that they
have under estimated the amount of
business they would have to be called
upon TO handle. There are very few
eases where it can be successfully
charged that the railways have DELHI
erately handicapped the business in
terests that they look to for their traf-

form of monopoly exists and there is
cause for complaint, but in the main
there is every reason to believe that
the railroads will hasten to make the

REFoRM IN CONSULAR SERVICE

The consular service is removed

political debts to pay. The bill creat-
ing the new service is far reaching,
but It Is still not to the liking OF some

still more radical changes. Senator
Hemingway Of Indiana proposes to app
point commercial travellers as Ameri-
can consuis in foreign countries. This
il in keeping with the idea that has
already found expression Ia the draft
Ing Of the bill that has become the
law. It IL the idea to place the consul
lar service in the hands Of men al
ready trained in commercial efficiency.

that men trained in what the Amerl-
cans have to sell would be quick to
see what would be necessary to catch

fact the consul OF tomorrow and the

A ReFurArIoN.

Women are often deferred from TAX
ing osteopathic treatment when they
need 1t badly. simply because Of q
misapprehension about our method OF
treatment.
Some believe that treatment re-
Quires undue exposure. Occasionally
we find persons who believe 1t is adj
ministrated upon the naked skin az
massage usually Is. This IL not at
all necessary. yet the fact Is such an
idea actually stands between many a
sick woman and her rescue from the
grip Of disease. When all other sys-
TENS except osteopathy have failed to
cure, It Is only reasonable and right
that the osteopathic should have a
chance. Another report Is that treat
ment Is too "rough"-"too severe for
invalids. etc. Both stories are ground
less. Don't be imposed upon by idle
rumors without basis on fact. Treat
ment is modified to suit the condition
OF each case. and Is not given in q
routine manner in all cases.
