WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.--Secretary
of War Taft and Lieutenant Colonel
j. A. Hull, judge advocate, Department
of the East, today attended hearing
before the House committee on insular
affairs, which had under consideration
tho claims of the Roman Catholic
Church in the Philippines for $2,5O00OO
indemnification on account of damage
to and occupancy of church buildings
in the islands by United States troops
during the Spanish War.
Colonel Hull was chairman of the
army board on church claims, ap-
pointed to slit these claims and make
recommendations as to settlement. The
report of the board recommended that
the church be paid $s6s,OoO in full
Secretary Taft at todays meeting
told the committee that in his opinion
the United States would be getting off
cheap if it allowed twice the sum named
by the board, or paid the church at
least $500000, Colonel Hull inclined TO
the same opinion, which he said repre-
sented as we'll the sentiment of the
board.
That body, in fixing the amount at
$685. 600, had taken into account nothing
but computed rental for military oc-

HARDHAM DENIED EXCEED
ING SPEED LIMIT.
Policeman Had Speedometer on Ma
chine and He Had to Travel Thirty
five Miles an Hour

The worth Of speedometers on motor
cycles used by the police was proven this
morning in the First Criminal Court when
James Hardham, who conducts a garage
on Hill street, was tried on charge of
violating the speed law. Hardham was
arrested Saturday afternoon by Motor Po-
liceman McNally as he was speeding along
Clinton avenue in his machine.
Hardham denied the charge, but Nc
Nally said that when he started in pur-
suit of Hardham the speedometer on tho
motor cycle registered twenty-seven miles
an hour and increased until Hardham was
oVerhauied
McNally first saw Hardham IN Clinton
avenue, near Wright street. He was talk
ing to Policeman Grace when he heard a
Woman speak about the speed OF the auto
mobile. McNally turned and saw that the
auto was exceeding the limit, and started
In pursuit.
He told Judge Howell the speedometes
on his machine registered twenty-seven
miles M hour, and he kept up this speed
for block, but the auto was still block
and a half ahead of him, until, putting on
a thirty-fiye mile speed, he was able to
overhaul the automobile at Halsey street.
Hardham said that he did not think he
was Violating the speed law. Judge Howell
fined him $50, saying that the streets must
be made safe for pedestrians. Hardham
paid his fine nnder protest.
