FIRST PHILIPPINE ACT
GIVES SCHOOLS SL000,000
Delegates from Islands Are Instructed
to Fight Tariff Laws and the
Coastwise Shipping
Regulations
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
MANILA, Dec 19.-The first bill passed
the Philippine assembly today. The bill
appropriates 81, 900, 900 for the construction
of schools throughout the provinces, and
was passed unanimously. Isauro Gabal-
DON a nationalist member, who was the
author of the act, proposed at the time
he introduced the bill into the assembly
sveeral other measures including bills
to construct capitol building, and to
cancel the indebtedness of provinces and
municipalities to the insular government,
but when the school bill was introduced
1t was unanimously decided to inau-
gurate legislation with 1t.
The assembly has without dissenting
speech or vote instructed the delegates
who are about to proceed to Washington
on five principal heads. The instruc-
tions are practically all directed against
the tariff laws and the coastwise ship
ping laws. They ask for the repeal of
the shipping laws on the ground that
they destroy the chances for increased
transportation, even il tariff reform is
adopted.
1t is also asked that there be given
free entry to the states 100000 tons OF
sugar, SOC, 900 pounds of wrapper tobacco
and 100000 pounds of filler, an unlimited
amount of manufactured tobacco, Philip
pine hats, woven goods and manufac-
tured hemp In return for this privilege,
the Philippines will admit free of duty
agricultural machinery, and maintain
other tariffs of the existing law.
The power to conclude commercial
treaties is dependent on the repeal of the
Frye shipping law.

TEHERAN, Dec. 19.-The armed fac
tions which occupied the streets of the
Persian capital since Sunday began to
disperse at 10 o'clock today. But suddenly
few random shots were fired in the
public square, and this caused a speedy
reassembling of the opposing forces.
AS a result of the conference last night
between the shah and ths parliamentary
party it was agreed that the negotiations
could continue with chance of success
only If both sides dispersed Accordingly
the reactionaries, who were bivouacked
in Artillery square, and the constitution

building, started to withdraw from their
positions Some shops had reopened, and
the members of the assembly were delib-
Grating the best solution for the crisis
when suddenly the firing in the square
was heard. Each faction thought 1t had
been deceived and the followers of each
seized their guns.
This afternoon large and fully armed
forces representing each side reoccupied
their former positions.
The attitude Of each faction is largely

HARDEN HAGGARD UNDFR
STRAIN OF HIS TRIAL
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
BERLIN, Dec. 19.-Maximilian Harden
was haggard and worn and his face paled
and flushed alternately when he appeared
before the criminal court today and took
his place in the dock to answer the ac-
cusation brought in the name of the state
that he had offended not only against
General Count Uno Won Moltke, but
against the interests of society in writ
ing in Die Kukunft, OF Won Moltke
Prince Philip Gutenberg, General Count
Wilhelm Won Hohenau and others in the
manner in which he did,
The president invited him to leave the
prisoners bench and take more COM
Portable chair next to the attorneys. The
bailiff spread out Harden's fur coat in the
chair In order to make him as comfortable
as possible. The prisoner was shaken
from time to time with fits of coughing,
which he tried in vain to suppress.
DIR. Marx, Hardens physician, said when
Harden got up this morning that he abb
solutely disapproved of his appearance
In court and dlsavowed all responsibility
for the effect on his health.
Harden listened languidly to- the argu-
ments of the lawyers concerning the
Jurisdiction of the court. These lasted
for two hours. Count Won Moltke's at
torneys reserved the right to ask that the
public be excluded during the taking OF
testimony relating to shameful vices.
The indictment against Harden was
then read, covering his political articles
in Die Zukunft for several months. Ques-
toned about these by the court, Harden
replied he had written them in the inter-
ests of his country. He had no intention
of libeling Won Moltke He considered
the influence of Prince Zu Gutenberg to
be harmful and he sought to remove it.
He said he had no desire to call wit
nesses to prove that Won Moltke was abb
normal. ''I have a definite conviction"
the prisoner said. II have said nothing
libelous. If the court assumes that the
articles are defamatory am here to bear
any penalty"
There is reason to believe that nego-
tiations are still on foot looking to the
withdrawal by the public prosecutor Of
the charges against Harden on condi-
tion that Harden sign document salts.

By Associated Fresa-
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The spirit of
rivalry that for five years has alternately
smoldered and blazed between John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi, leader of the
minority, and John A. De Almond of Mis-
souri, eliminated in a fist fight today
ON the floor of the house of representa-
tives.
The blows of Representative De Almond
caused blood to flow down the face of
Representative Williams, and only the
forcible intervention of friends cut the
combat short. DE Armonu pore away
scuffed nose.
The Immediate cause of the fight was
the passage of the lie by De Almond to
Williams, resultant upon complaint by
the former that the minority leader had
broken faith in "burying'' Representative
Booker of Missouri by recommending his
assignment by Speaker Cannon to the
committee on coinage, weights and meas
ures.
According to the statements of the
principals, Williams defended his action
by declaring he had been told by Booker's $
colleague, Representative Lloyd, that the
committee assignment would be satis-
factory to Booker. De Almond questioned
the truth of the statement, and after a
failure to transfer the scene of the contro-
yersy Williams struck De Almond a blow
in the face with closed fist
Not in OFFICIAL Record
The exciting incident will not be set
down in the official record of the six
tieth congress, for the house had been
some minutes adjourned when the first
blow was struck. But there was no lack
of witnesses.
The Organization of the house had been

having been selected by the speaker and
the Democratic members by Mr.. Williams.
Groups of representatives were scattered
over the floor discussing the appoint

and the effects to follow. In the over
looking galleries loitered score or so
of women and four times that many men,
viewing the aftermath of an interesting
session.

strain of allotting preferments among the

BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WEST ORANGE. N. j., Dec. ls,-
Thomas A. Edison, in an interview ex-
pressed great regret at the death OF
Lord Kelvin, who had been his friend
for thirty-five years.
Lord Kelvin certainly had the master
mind in science. for the world seldom
sees such a man as he was,' said Mr:.
Edison.
First of all he was great as a mathe-
matician, and then he developed into
the greatest of scientists. / think 1t Is
safe to say that he gave more attention
to such subjects as the power of the tides
and the properties of the crust OF the
earth than any other scientist.
KELVIN may truly be SAID to have
been the life and soul of the Atlantic
cable and they are still using the instru-
ments whicn he invented SO many years
ago. 1t is matter Of history that he
was so identified with practically all the
great cables whieh have been laid"

Everybody looked, but so startled were
they by what they saw that no one seemed
for the moment to think of rushing for
ward and stopping it. Meantime Will
lams and De Almond, wedged between
two rows of desks, were still exchanging
blows. Blood was flowing down the face
of the leader of the minority, while De
Armond was endeavoring to grasp his
opponent by the throat, at the same time
receiving and vigorously returning blow
for blow.
Then everybody awoke to the unseem-
liness of the situation and crowded in
and made an end of it. De Almond was
seized and his arms pinioned. Williams
was pushed back against desk and
laced about with deterrent arms. Thus
restrained, he relaxed his aggressive atti-
tude, but his adversary struggled In the
embrace of his friendly captors and tried
to lash out.
Then De Almond interrogated Williams
as to what he was excited about. Will
liams smiling1y, though tears of mortifi-
cation stood In his eyes, denied that he
was excited. and took out handkerchief
to stanch the flow of blood from cut in
his cheek. Presently Williams was led
away In one direction and De Almond In
an opposite direction and both were re-
leased.
While Mr.. Williams for the last five
years has held the place of minority
leader, considerable element among the
Democratic members has favored Mr.. De
Almond for that position. Resultantly,
there has been more or less rivalry be-

more marked among their following than

Anthony and Cleopatra.

Having triumphed over julius
Caesar, Cleopatra was cntertainingly
engaged in making Anthony's lawful
ira of his love The silken breeching
was already in place, and the bride
ready for the great general when An
thony called one evening, by appoint
ment, to enjoy a pink tea with her.
The boudoir was resplendent for the
occasion. Beautiful flowers breathed
their amorous odors, while redolent
perfumes, heavy with brain hashish
lowered over the scene of Cleopatras
prospective conquest.
Anthony was matrimonial ship

voluptuous setting of this fascinating
feminine gem
ITO his eye
There was hut one beloved face on earth,
And that was shining on him.
In his heart there burned, oblivious
to honor, allegiance and sacred vows,
only the mad passion to possess her.
And Cleo, the cut.up, did her best!
The pink tea was but half over when
Anthony. bewildered and i'll at ease,
because of lacking self-control,
dropped his napkin. 1t took header
and rolled half way under the table.
Running about the room was a
white rat, a priced pet of the famous
man.kller As Anthony stopped for
his napkin, the rat CHANGED TO slip
quietly underneath the luxurious lin
gerie of Cleopatra's dainty skirts, nip
ping her gently on the ankle.
As Anthony's head emerged from
under the table, his face forid with

Anthony, much chagrined, and won
derlng, could only stammer his apol
ogy.
When the scandal got into the news

of 1t was to marry the girl. Owing
to having a wife of his own. this could
not be, and he did the next worst
thing.
