CONVENT ROBBED
THIEVES ESCAPE WITH $4,000.
FORMER EMPLoYE UNDER
SUSPICION.

Washington, Oct. with doors
locked and windows barred. the
Georgetown Convent of Visitation was
robbed of $4,000 last night. The con.
vent is seminary. and as usual, is
crowded by students from all sec
tions of the country.
The sisters. after their nightly
round. reported all windows and
doors securely fastened. When the
room where the sister superior has
her desk was entered this morning
II was found that the desk had been
forced open with a tack pulled and
that the money was missing. An ex'
animation showed that the fastenings
ON doors and windows had not been
disturbed.
4 former employe who has rep
utation with the police is under sus
picion and the theory entertained Is
that the thief, with full knowlec e
OF the affairs OF the convent, found
concealment inside before the build
ing was closed for the night and es
capped through one OF the rear doors
which are fastened by spring locks

Sheets OF binding rain washed out

dows and made navigation on the

much of its fury on the upper west

IMPROVE TERRITORY CORN
AGRICULTURAL DE EPA RTMENT
ADVISES FARMERS OF SLIP.
SHoD METHODS.

saltwater, Okla, oct 9.--In a bul.
letin discussing the value of cotton
culture Improvement, the agricultural
experiment station here is endeavor.
ing to induce farmers to abandon the
slipshod method of raising cotton and
adopt methods that would greatly
increase their yield and earnings. The
bulletin says that because of improp.
er cultivation and selection of seed,
the average yield of lint cotton In
the United States Is only 1870 pounds
an acre, while highly bred cotton,
under proper conditions Of soil and
climate, is capable OF producing l 900
pounds of lint to the acre.
The proper selection OF seed will
do more than anything else to in
crease the acre output in Oklahoma.
Good seed. however. will not yield
well without good cultivation. Each
tract OF land solely for the growing
of cotton for seed The inferior plants
should be removed as they appear. In
time variety well adapted to the
soil and climate, and producing heay-
lily, may be secured. The seed could
be kept unmixed In ginning by the
building OF small 10 to 30-saw gins.
The cost Of these small separate gins
would be Offset by the heavy in.
crease in cotton production in the
neighborhood of the gins. The bulle.
tin says in part:
The yield of cotton on the Okla
homa farms should be doubled In
the next five years and In order to
accomplish this the acreage must be
decreased and every one in any way
connected with the industry mus,
do his share toward helping to bet
ter the conditions under which cot
ton Is grown. 1t will be but matter
OF few years until the Mexican
cotton boil weevil will have spread
over all the cotton growing sections
OF Oklahoma, and when this time
comes 1t will be necessary to modif,
our system of cotton growing to som'
extent. The old slip-shod ways will
have to give way to more scientific
methods II the growing Of cotton Il
to be a profitable business. This yea

AcUINALDO AGAIN
FIRST POLITICAL UTTERANCE
SINCE CAPTURE-HoPE FOR
FILIPINO INDEPENDENCE.

Manila. Oct. 9.-Aguinaldo has
made written statement breaking
his silence of six years and making
his first political utterance since his
capture in 1901. His statement was
written in Spanish. Quoting the sug.
gestion that the Philippines be turned
over to the Filipinos as a promise,
Aguinaldo says:
IF the United States decided. for
important reasons of state, to aban
don the Filipinos, for whose advance.
ment and prosperity 1t has demon
strated such solicitude, nothing would
be more Just or more natural than
to seek to accomplish their com
plete regeneration and rescue them
from shipwreck.
IF on the other hand, the Fill.
sinos can not gain Independence
without repayment to the United
States of the amount expended here,
IL will be to the advantage of the
people to have the amount determin.
ed before It grows larger. The plan Is
realizable, because the Filipino peo-
pie, though poor, | presume, would
make sacrifices to bring independ'
enco.
IF necessary, the $500 100000 ex'
,,ended by the United States could be
paid in installments without interest
within a specified time. In order that
payment might be guaranteed In ad'
vance, II necessary, the United States
could loan the Philippine government

given time or on demand and what

meat, In the event OF an agreement
a necessary condition would be tina
for six years after signing. no col
lections should be demanded excep
the interest on the $500, 100000 loan.
