 The article follows:
 sTieutenant William P. Screws, 18th infantry, who has been detailed dur ing the past week as announcer at the division meet, Is one of the hest known and probably the best liked. of the younger officers of the army: Lieu tenant Screws as a wit has few su- p~riors and as a diplomat he stands second to none.
 < During the past year and half he has held position as presidente or the town of Malabang in Mindanao and in connection with those duties he has taken over the offices of mu- nicipal judge. justice of the peace and inspector of streets, all of which he has filled with the greatest Of credit:
 He Is a vocalist and musician or no small repute. He has clear, TO- bust tenor vol .e and sings fl! st tenor in the 'Regimental Quarte.te,' com posed of officers of the 18th infantry, stationed at Malabang. tieutenant Screws has a police force of about sixteen natives who are also musicians and when off duty improve their time in soothing the savage beast by oc- casional concerts on the mandolin and guitar.
 Lieutenant Screws is instrumental in providing entertainment not only in the town of Malabang, but also at the post, and when the occasion re- quires, is not averse to taking over the leadership of the village band.
 Lieutenant Screws's regiment has been ordered to the United States and he will soon relinquish his office as presidente of Malabang, where he has done soA much to enhance the archi- tectural beauty of the town and has made many improvements, one of which was the erection of a municipal market. The town has recently been burned down. however, and with 1t the presidencia. Lieutenant Screws is now procuring funds to erect new town hall on an even more elab- crate scale than the old one.
 During his term of office, he has been instrumental in the capture of great many bad Moros and has, him. self, brought in several of the worst characters in his district. Some time ago the presidente went out with his chief of police and personally captured and brought back dato anl his son who were the instigators of a plot in which a soldier had been trapped and foully murdered"

uPHoLDs STATE LAW.
Juatice Moody Decides Tn Favor Of etty
 of New Orleana.

Washington. April s.--The constIu- tionality of the Louisiana Jaw Of lsss' making taxable in that state notes taken by non-residents on account ot business transacted there. was brought into question in the case of the Metro politan Life Insurance Company of .'eW York vs. the city of New orleans. which was decided by the Suprem court of the United States today in favor of the city. the opinion being by Jus tice Moody.
 The suit grew out of an effort oy the city to tax the company for $lo'- 900 worth of credits on business tran sacted in the state. which was resisted by the company on the ground tha' the notes were taxable only In New York, where they were held.
 The attempt of the authorities was characterized as an effort to extend the taxing power of the Louisiana author'- ties beyond the state and to take prop erty without due process or law. in announcing the courts opinion, Justice Moody said. that the mere absence or the notes from the place of their origin did not deprive them of taxapir status in Louisiana. The effect was to uphold the state law.

Mexico City, April S.-A supposed accomplice of Jose Estrada, the young Guatemalan who last night stabbed to death General Manuel Lizandro Barril- las, former President of Guatemala, has been arrested.
 He also gave his name as Estrada. The assassin seems exultant over his deed. He declares that General Bar rillas, while President of Guatemala burned his saloon at Ocos, but the fact that General Barrillas was President of Guatemala sixteen years ago when the young man was but small child discredits his statement.
