TAFT DUBBED Do GER
By American Newspapers in Manila Anent
His Speech Opening First
Philippine Assembly.

A Manila special says: The general
Impression caused among Filipinos by
Secretary Tafts speech at the open-
ing Of the assembly Wednesday is ex-
callent, but the local American papers
call for a prompt announcement of
the governments policy towards the
islands, declaring that Mr.. Taft eyaded
any positive statements on the subject
and allage that his speech was re-
hash of the addresses which he made
in Manila two years ago.
A clash occurred in the assembly
Thursday between the president Ser
gio Osmena, nationalist, and Domino
der Gomez, who seconded the pres
ident's nomination Wednesday in an
eloquent speech, and who delivered an
address, declaring against bringing pol
itics into legislative business and ask
ing the delegates to show their pa

leglslating for the benefit of the Phil
ippine people Gomez, whose election
is to be contested, but who was for
mally sworn in with other assembly
men, made appeal TO the delegates to
disregard politics, but the president
stopped Gomez, and announced that
he would use his authority as presi-
dent Of the assembly to have it strick

The delegates were surprised at this
early beginning of the fight. The adj
herents of Gomez, who is leader of
the famous Katipunan Revolutionary
Society, and ex-president of the social
list party, during the course of Thurs
days proceedings in the assembly de-
feated a plan to rush through that
body a series of special rules for par.
liamentary procedure which had been
drawn up By the president. The lat
ter, however, managed to secure the
temporary adoption of the rules, and it
is understood that he will not permit
them to be changed.
Petitions against confirmation Of an
election of seventeen delegates, all Of
whom are alleged to be unfit to take
part in legislation for the islands, were
presented.

TEDDY GETS A BEAR.
Hunt is Finally Rewarded by Bringing
Down Bruin of Feminine Gender
and Large Size.

According to news received in STAN
boul, the president killed a bear late
Thursday afternoon.
Few details of the killing are known
except that it took place late in the
afternoon after he and the other hun
tiers with him had followed the dogs
in the chase through the jungles for
four hours. The beast was a female
OF the black varsity and was beyond
the average size. The fact that she
was secured at all is attributed to the
staying qualities of the new dogs.
A later arrival from Bear Lake
brings the information that the presi-
dent shot the bear, as it came out
Of the canebrake near the camp. The
animal had been chased for half =
day by Ben Lilley and negro assist
ant who followed close upon the heels
of the hounds.
1t fell after the FIRST shot, which was
planted just back of the shoulder. The
animal weighed 375 pounds, which is
considered large for bears in the vi
entity.
Two days previous several trails
were struck, but only once did the dogs
come up on bruin, and then it became
necessary for a negro hunter in the
party to kill the bear Immediately In
order to save the dogs.

HORROR AFTERMATH.
Thirty Eight Corpses Recovered from tbs
Ruins at Diligent Search

Late Wednesday afternoon, ths
number Of known dead from the ex-
plosion Of the Dupont powder mills
at Fontanet, Ind, was SO, all identified,
but two bodies, the fragments of which
are In a sack at the local morgue.
The residents of the village of 1000
Aople when they awoke Wednesday
morning, encountered a much different
situation than they had been accus-
toned to in the past Instead of a
quiet country town and pleasant seen
cry to greet their eyes, desolation was
at hand Soldiers Of the Indiana state
militia were on hand and had stood
guard all through the night.
Details as to what caused the terri.
BILE catastrophe of Tuesday morning,
when the powder mills blew up, are
lacking. No one connected with the
powder company could ascribe any
reason for the explosion. Several
rumors were current; one of the most
probable circulated was that the ma
chinery in the glazing mill became
oyerheated from friction and set fire
to some loose powder. The glazing
mill was the one first to blow UP. The
other sections of the plant followed
in rapid succession.

net were able by patching up their
houses, to pass fairly comfortable
night. The remainder were accom-
modated with sleeping room on cots
placed in tents brought in by orders
of Governor Hanly Systematic efforts
are going forth and within a short
time it is thought most of the houses
will be repaired in such a manner az
to permit the reoccupancy of them
by their tenants and owners. The sol
diers were distributed so as to guard
as much of the town as possible.
The guardsmen were instructed to
shoot at sight any attempt at footing.
but no one was found in an act Of
this kind, and the soldiers failed to
get any opportunity to do any shoot
ing.
1t is understood the state authorities
will Immediately begin an investiga-

Systematic efforts to search for vic
TINS among the debris in the powder
mill were begun Wednesday morning.
Men were distributed so as to make
thorough search for further victims
of the disaster
It is reported that the magazine
which blew up contained $4,000 pounds
of dynamite in addition to $4,000 kegs

BISHOP POTTER
GIVEN A ROAST
By Citizens Of Richmond for Enter
tanning a Negro at Dinner.
WRATH is UNBOUNDED
Most Indignant of the POpulace is Mr.
Lindsey, Who Through Courtesy, Let
His Handsome home to Potter.

Not in years has Richmond, Va,
been stirred to such a fever of indig-
nation as by the action of Bishop Pot
ter of New York, in entertaining at
dinner at his home, Mrs Potter being
present, Bishop Ferguson, the negro
bishop of Africa, who was attending
the Episcopal convention.
Richmond people smothered their
wrath until the convention adjourned
and then it famed out.
Society people are now denouncing
in most vigorous terms what they term
Bishop Potters "indeIicacy" in enter
tanning at dinner the negro. The in
cident has been the chief topic of con-
versation.
Bishop Potter's action is regarded
as breach Of etiquette and hospitality
and many persons seem to think, from
the manner in which the bishop spoke
of the incident afterwards, that he did
it knowing that publication of the
fact would follow.
Among those who have openly criti-
cized the New York dignitary are
many prominent clergymen, who un-
hesltatingly say that they were deeply
aggrieved and surprised that he should
have been guilty of such an act, in
Richmond, of all southern cities.
Another phase of the question is the
fact that Bishop Potter had leased the
home Of R. S. Linsey, one Of the
wealthiest and most prominent society
leaders OF Richmond, through an act
of courtesy, as he had been unable to
obtain suitable quarters elsewhere in
the city. Such a thing as negro
having been entertained on lines of
social equality in Richmond and in
the home of as prominent a man as
Lindsey, is unprecedented.
The Lindsey home is one of the
AoSAOSOuSSC III LnS CITY, D6IHS situated
in the heart Of the fashionable district.
and being frequented at all times by
the elite.
Lindsey. who has two daughters, one
of them a debutante of the present
season, who will perhaps for years
suffer from the fact that a negro has
broken bread in their home, under such
astounding circumstances. The Incl
dent is being spoken of on the same
grounds and along the sane lines in
which the Booker Washington incident
at the white house was referred to.
many people declaring that the circum-
stances in the Potter incident make
it even more worthy of denunciation
by southern people.
The Lynchburg News, Congressman
Glass paper, sharply criticises Bishop
Potter for entertaining the negro bish-
op in Richmond, declaring the dinner
was social vandalism which may dis
rupt the Episcopal church.

chief lament being over the fact that no

bookkeeping. Yet, the cost OF exporting
will be we'll spent, and the books should

A timely explanation of the proper use
of the word "plutocrat" has been made
by the Springfield Republican. This
word has come into common use in the
most natural way. It..is. not wanton
epithet. 1t is descriptive term evolved
by social conditi ons that'have raised the
so-called business man to the place Of
power in politics. Government by bust.
nees interests is putocratic. But "plut-
ocrat" does not necessarly.mean rich
man; it means man who wants govern
ment by wealth. Whether such man
is rich or poor makes no difference. The
"penniless pIute" is as plutieh aslany.

YET IT CLAIMS LINCOLN.

The Washington correspondent for the
New York Evening Post quotes Secretary
of War Taft az having described the op'
ponents OF our Philippine policy as
"Those who asserting that the acquisi-
ton Of the Philippines is q departure
from the traditional policy OF the govern
ment in assuming sovereignty over an
alien people, Ut present certainly i'll
adapted to exercising statehood are ut
terly opposed to continuing any connec-
ton with the government of the Philip
pine islands at all and are strongly in
favor OF an immediate abandonment OF
them whatever the result to the people
Of those islands. They contend that the
principle that all just government must
depend upon the consent of the governed
is a moral one and makes our occupation
OF the l6IanU6 IuLOOJUI.
Then the Post correspondent says that
Secretary Taft added: II have great re-
spect for persons who sincerely entertain
that view. The republican party how
ever, differs widely from them in their
construction Of the declaration of indie
pendence."
Government with the consent OF the
governed" is not necessarily a discr edita-
BILE view but according to the republican
secretary Of war, ",he republican party
differs wholly with that construction Of
