ARGUES AGAINST L
BRLBE INDICTMENTS
CALHOUN AND HIS ASSOCIATES
MAKE STAND
Demurrer and Petition Before Supreme
Court All That Stands In the
Way of Speedy Trial
of Officials
BY Associated iress.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-Arguments
were heard by Judge Lawlor today on
the demurrers interposed by the de-
PENDANTS to the bribery indictments re-
turned by the Oliver grand jury against
Calhoun, Mutually, Ford and Abbott OF
the United Railroads; Drum, De Saba
and Martin of the San Francisco Gas
and Electric company; former Mayor
Schmitz and Abraham Ruef. A. A.
Moore of counsel for the United Rail-
roads attacked the indictments along
academic lines. Among the grounds he
alleged in support of the general de-
murrers were in substance, the fol-
lowing
THE indictments failed to allege an
agreement between the bribers and the
bribees as to what specific corrupt acts
were to be performed by the latter in
return for the bribes paid; that the
Indictments exceeded the law by alleg-
ing two distinct felonies in the same
count, namely the giving and the Of
fering of bribes that the language OF the
indictments was vague. uncertain and
unintelligible, and that the indictments
failed to allege sufficient facts to con-
stitute crime.

NEGRO SOLDIERS
THE PHILIPPINES.
New Orleans States.

Senator TilIman and others in Con-
gresS have grown wTathfm over the
alleged indignity heaped upon the
helpless Filipinos by the recent order
of the war department sending the
negro troops TO the Philippines. II
our information is not very greatly
at fault all the tears that have been
shed over this outrage upon the poor
Filipino" is entirely wasted. We i'm
agine that there will be no indigna-
ton meetings held among the native
Fiiipinos to protest against the out
rage or to request the reversal OF the
order of the secretary OF war.
AS a matter of fact there is no an
tipathy to the negro on the part or
the full-blooded Filipino. but quite the
reverse is said to be the case. The
negro soldiery in the Philippines is by
no means an innovation. In the early
periods of the American occupation OF
the Archipelago negro troops were
employed, and instead of there being
racial clashes the natives received
them gladly, the native women be-
slowing upon the negro soldiers great
er attention than they showed to the
white soldiers.
Washington newspaper correspondent,
several years ago, accompanied par
ty of American tourists TO the Islands
and wrote his observations OF the
manners, customs and characteriSucs
of the people in a series OF entertain
ing articles in the Atlanta Constitu-
ton Among the things that he noted
particularly was the enthusiasm,
among the native women, with which
the negro soldiers were greeted
wherever they went. Other incidents
have gone TO establish the fact that
the most difficult clashes that occur
in the Philippines are those between
the white Americans and the F1npl-
nos.
1t is an open secret that the retire
ment of Governor-GeneTal Luke e.
Wright from the head of the Philip
pine government last year was the
result Of embarrassment growing
out of the ineradical racial antpathles
on the part of the white soldiers and
civilians to mingle on terms OF per
<act equality with the FilipinOs- Wn1ie
the Filipino does not belong TO the
negro race, yet he is oftenulmes as
dark as the ordinary negro IN this
country, and the white soldiers are
said to be disposed to look down upon
him as rule, and TO place him in the
same class with the negro. This fact
accounts very largely for the dim
Guilty the government has had in its
work of benevolently assimilaung
the belligerent natives in many OF the
islands. and even in the interior OF
LuZon.
Outside, therefore, of the better
class OF the Spanish population who
live in the cities an6 Will not come
in contact with the new troops, II IS
probable that the natives, among
whom they will probably be located.

The Proposed Panama
Canal Exposition.

The st. Augustine Record, in re-
cent issue. says: IF the contempla-
ted Isthmian canal exposition at Tam
pa is to materiaiize next year, there
is none too much time left for max
ing the necessary arrangements. -
This brings up the question as to
whether or not Tampa is prepared TO
make this fair success.
The business men of Tampa have
organized, and will no DOUBT do every
thing in their power to make the
show big one, but Tampa should
not attempt this proposition unless
she has assurances that the other
portions of the state are going to join
with her in the matter. 1t is a ques-
ton whether Tampa, with all her
pluck and energy, can pull off big
show of this nature without outside
assistance.
There is little doubt but that the
exposition company will ask the next
legislature for an appropriation to
aid in the enterprise, but they should
be able to show to that legislature
that the fair is going to be a decided
success, and that it will be for the
interests of the whole state, and not
for the interests of any one town or
section.
We admire Tampa's progressive
spirit, and we hope for the project
all the success that it deserves, but
we would warn our sister city of the
gulf, our Queen city of the gulf"
that she can not hold eXpositions,
erect buildings, and pay prizes, with
only the promises of the dear people.
The exposition that Tampa expects
to hold will be an interstate affair,
and it is the duty of the entire state
to see that it is made a success, or
else that it be not attempted. Florida
can not afford to give a second-class
show.
We believe that great exposition
in Florida could be made a great sue
cess, and paying investment. Ger
tainly, more people would come to
Florida than would travel across the
continent to far Oregon. But the
making of one of these expositions
is not the work of few months and,
seriously, We doubt if there is suf-
fcient time now to make the Tampa
show as big a show as we would like
to see ii.
Tampa should take all these things
into consideration before she goes so
far in this work that she can not we'll
turn back. If the time is too short,
let them extend it few years and
start the campaign over We ought
to have an appropriation from the
national government. and We believe
If the exposition were postponed foc
a few years that We could get this.
The Journal does not wish to ap-
pear in the light of opposing any of
Tampa's plans, and The Journa; will
do anything it can to make the expo
sition success, but we believe that
Tampa should consider this matter
from the standpoint of tie state, ard
not of herself alone. If the exposi-
ton does not come up II the expecIa
tons of the people, Florida, and not
Tampa, will get the blame and the
censure.
