The sale of the Philippines is the
issue in the democratic canvass for nomi-
nation in the Eighth Virginia district,
where q special election is to be held to
III the vacancy caused by the death OF
Representative Rixey. Judge Charles
r. Nlcol, who aspires to the nomination
has made the sale OF the islands the
main plank of his platform. lie would
put then on the bargain counter, he
is so anxious to have US get rid Of them.
Judge Nicol cbaracterizes the
philippines as a gold brick and he
proposes that we work off that gold brick
on somebody else.
1t is unnecessary TO say to the people
of this district that there is no "main
plank" in he platforms Of the candi-
dates now seeking Congressional honors.
II Ia merely q matter in which the large
majority Of democratic voters will be
called upon to select a candidate from 3
number Of aspirants either OF whom
would iii the position with credit to
himself and TO his constituents. OF
course, he will be a true democrat, and
such will protest agAins! many things
now being carried on by The present adj
minis lralion. The Philippines, the white
elephant the country has been carrying
during The past nine years, is but Cne Of
number OF burdens which are oner'
ous to all conservative people, demo-
Gratis and republicans alike. So far as
national affairs are concerned, the rep
resentative whoever he may be, will I'M.
donbtedly cast his votes upon democratic
lines, but his first aim should be to ad.
vance the interests Of the district he rep
resents, especially of Alexandra, the
only city 10 the district. For this reason
people in this city in casting their votes
will naturally weigh the claims OF the
candidates seeking their support. The
la,e John f. Rixey worked assiduously
for Alexandria, and accomplished much
in her intcreets during The ten years he
was Congressman.

For THE first time since the Ameri-
can occupation OF the Philippine
Islands national elections will he held
throughout the archipelago on July 80,
1907 for members of the Philippine
Assembly, the representative governing
body which was created by an act OF
Congress approved July |, 1902. The
Bureau of lnsular Affairs Of the War
Department today received a copy Of
the election law recently enacted by the
Philippine Commission under which the
national elections will be held. The act
provides for the general provisions Of
what is known as the Australian ballot
system. If these elections are held un-
der United States federal supervision
with marshals at the polls, as was done
in Cuba, then the same trouble may be
expected as resulted from the Cuban
elections.

Clinch Smith arrived 10 the court room.
Hummel was excused from the stand
temporarily and Smith took bis place
Smith was unable to produce Jerome's
cablegram calling him home to testify.
he explained he had left 1t in Europe
although he thought yesterday that he
had il. He said there was no copy oil
the cable. Smith repeated the cable IS
he remembered it. "Your evidence most
importsnt; your presence desired"
Delmas made Smith admit he had
made q written statement to bis lawyer,
Frank NJ. Blackwell, before he went
abroad last December, covering all the
facts TO which be testified.
Smith testified further that he arrived
In New York February IL and visited
the district attorneys Office February

Delmas excused the witness.
Hummel clambered into the witness
chair again and Jerome renewed his
fight to get 10 Evelyn's affidavit.
The district attorney repeated the
question "While Evelyn Nesbit was

and Hummel replied
eyes, air."
After careful consideration Jerome
then asked
DAT that conversation you had with
Evelyn Nesbit In your Office on October
q, 1908, did she tell you Ia substance
that Thaw wanted to injure Stanford
White and get him In the peniten tlary,
and that Thaw had been 10 her many
times to get her to swear to written
documents involving White and charg-
ing White with having dragged and be-
trsyed her when she was fifteen yesrs
old, and that she told Tha6 that the
things we're not true and that Thaw beat
her because she would not sign the
papers ?"
Delmss Immediately iuterposed with
an objection.
Dslmas, In order to shut out this evil
dence, tried to show thst the relations OF
counsel and client existed between Hum.
mel and Evelyn, but failed, as Hummel
denied this. Delmas pressed hard on the
point, being allowed to cross examine
Hummel on the point. He tried to make
Hummel confirm the declaration made
by Evelyn that White had told her tina.
"Hummel squeezed 81, 600 out Of him"
IN regard to the affidavit.
A legal battle followed between jerome
and Delmas, the latter using every means
to keep out such testimony.
Jerome launched into an eloquent plea
for the admission of HummePs testimony
and the famous affidavit.

tomorrow at the request Of Jerome who
wished more time TO frame his hypo-
thetical nuestir,n. Hummel was on the

The Disaster Of the BattIeship Jena.

Toulon, March l9 After 40 inves-
tigation today, marine officers state that
the French bsttleship Jena, which was
made great death trap yesterday, will
probably be total loss.
No accurate figures can yet be given
OF the number killed. Eighty-two
bodies have been identified, and frag.
ments OF many more have been gathered
up from along the water front.
There seems little doubt but that
many of the wounded and dead were
blown into the harbor and sank, while
1t is certain that several men, fleeing In
terror from the explosion, jumped into
the water and we're drowned.
The Jena carried g crew Of 81 officers
and 685 men, and the fact that many
Of those we're unaccounted for following
the explosion yesterday, gave rise to the
report that the dead would reach 400.
Later developments, however, showed
that many of the men we're enjoying
shore leave and 1t was to this fact alone
that they owed their lives. At noon to.
day ii seemed certain that the list OF
dead would at least total hundred with
every probability of its exceeding this
number.
The fires which ragged for hours yes
terday in the hulk of the Jena have been
extinguished and the search for the dead
is being pushed today.
That the disaster worked from ex-
ploding magazines was not even greater
Is today attributed to the msrksman-
ship Of the gunner of the battleship
Patrie, moored opposite the dry dock In
which the Jena lay. Following the eI-
plosion, efforts to food the dry dock fail.
ed as the gates ismmed. ASell directed
she'll, fred from the Patrie, smashed the
gates and flooded the dock and incident
ally the interior Of the badly rent ship,
just in time to prevent the explosion OF
the central and forward magazines, 10
which we're stored the powerful torpe-
does. Had these torpedoes been ex.
ploded, simultaneously, it Is believed
the entire arsenal and every building
within radius Of several hundred feet
Oftbe battleship would have been RACED.

"Much Ado About Nothing"

On Tuesday evening, April 80, Ben Greet
will present Much Ado About Nothing at
Centennial Hall for the benefit of the
George Washington University building
fund The manner of presentation will be
that in vogue in Shakespeare's day. Mr..
Greet's object is not merely to revive the
theatrical conditions of a bygone afe for
the sake of a dramatic curiosity, but to
show us the plays of Shakespeare as Shake
speakes wrote them and as he intended
them to be acted. Mr.. Greet's venture can
no longer be called an experiment, for he
and his talented associates have been act
ing the plays in this manner for number
Of years, and with considerable profit. No
doubt this is IN part due to the excellence
of the company-one in which ensemble Is
aimed at and no one featured. Regular
theater prices will prevail and seats are
now on sale at T. Arthur Smiths, 1921 +
street.

A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE

I'VE express to you herewith our best thanks for
the cure of our baby from eczema. The eczema ap-
peared when the child three months old. We
applied to several doctors and hospitals, each OF
which gave us something different every time, bu,
nothing brought relief. A physician recommended
a salve which threw into the fire after two
DAYS use as the eczema became worse, that the
baby scratched his face. At last, one Of oui
friends recommended to Cuticura Soap and Cuti
cura Ointment. A few days afterward Improvement
could be noted. Since then have used nothing
but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now
the baby is six months old and is quite cured. All
that we used cake Of Cuticura Soap and
two boxes Cuticura Ointment, costing in all, 81 %

They are cheap, harmless and good. C. f. Kara

PLANS MADE TO CONTEST WITH
HUMANE SOCIETY.

At meeting of the Horse Owners Mu-
tual Protective Association at the Riggs
House, last night. the alleged abuse of au-
thority by the local Humane Society was
discussed at length and the executive COM
mittee Of the association was directed to
employ attorneys to contest cases brought
against the members Of the association and
to carry them to the highest courts.
1t was made evident that the members of
this association have organized to protect
themselves. and that they intend to wipe
out the so-called persecution at the hands
of the agents Of the Humane Society. They
have decided that the law Is their only
refuge
In criticising the alleged Humane Socie-
ty," as the horsemen refer to the organ1-
cation, several speakers last night declared
that the laws under which the society 1s
operating are illegal and unconstitutional
and contrary to American principles. Va
rious cases where agents OF the society
overstepped their authority and resorted to
persecution of the horse owners were cited
by the speakers. One member In scath-
ing criticism of the methods of the society
stated that many horses in the service OF
the District government are sore and phys
ically unfit for work, but that the Humane
Society never interferes or calls the Dis
trict officials to account

president of the association last night AL
bert A. Carry. president Of the National
Capitol Brewing Company and chairman OF
the executive committee, presided. B. F. Ed
wards. secretary, after reading the minutes
of last meeting read what he designated as

a few owners of good horses have been led
to join" Mr.. Edwards said the association
