SLAVERY IN PHILIPPINES.
Senator Hale Is Shocked to Learn Un'
 cle Sam ToIerates 1t.


 Washington, Jan 29.-Slavery in the Philippines stirred up the senate and afforded an opportunity for humping President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, who were charged with respon- sibility for the present existence of slavery.
 The old. statutes regarding slaves were reached considering the penal code revision. These were of vital im- portance in antebellum days, as they provided that no vessel carrying slaves could land cargo in d port of the Unit ed States.
 Senator Hale moved to strike out these sections, saying that their retHn- tion would create the impression that the holding of slaves was still toler- ated in this country. Senator Hey burn, in charge of the bill, said that slavery exists in the Philippines and that the provision could not be elimi- mated.
 Senator Hale expressed himself as greatly shocked. He hoped the senate would not include him among the misguided persons" who oppose the presidents Philippine policy, but he thought an inquiry should be made into the matter.
 Senator Tillman still further shocked MT. Hale by asserting that the exist ence of slavery in the Philippines is no secret.
 Senator Stone arose with tears in his T -I,s H. touring the island of Mindanao with a party of statesmen he saw little chil. dren in slavery.
 The sections were passed over tenn porarily at Senator Hale's request.

HEARS OF EBERHARD MURDER
GRAND JURY RECEIVES TESTI-
MoNY OF ORPHANED GIRL.
Ottilie Tells How Mother Was Killed
by Cousin Gus, and Herself
Wounded.

HACKENSACK. N j.. July 3o.-The
Bergen county grand jury met at Hacken-
sack this morning at 1925 o'clock and
at once proceeded to hear evidence In the
case of Mrs. Ottilie Eberhard, who, on
Saturday night. July Is. was murdered on
the Susquehanna and Western railroad
tracks at Roshelle Park by her cousin,
Gus Eberhard.
The latter has confessed his crime. He
took Prosecutor Rooster and Chief of Po-
lice Dunn to the spot in the woods near
Little Falls where he hid the, 81, 400
Mhich he stole from his aunt after shoot
ing her.
Miss Ottilie Eberhard, who. with her
mother. was lured from the Adeiphi Hotel
in New York to the lonely spot where the
murder occurred. was the first witness
called before the grand jury She told
her story through an interpreter, for she
cannot speak English.
She arrived from Vienna only few
days before the tragedy She produced
letters to show that her cousin Gus had
written to her begging her and her mother
to come to America. and promising he
would marry her. Miss Eberhard says
Gus never mentioned the words marriage
or love after she arrived here.
The young woman, who was also
wounded by her cousin. showed the bull
let marks she still carried. proving that
Eberhard had planned to murder both her
and her mother. Ottilie did not see Gus
shoot her mother, for they were behind
her at the time.
She did not know It was Gus who shot
at her. she said. until he confessed She
believed some one had ambushed them
When Eberhard could not be found she
feared he, too. had been shot and his
body carried away.
Chief of Police Dunn was the only other
witness examined. Eberhard confessed
to him and Prosecutor Rooster. and the
chief recited in detail the finding of the
money. in the woods under the direction
of the self-confessed murderer
Prosecutor Rooster will prepare the in
dictment so as to allow Foreman Corne-
Illus p. Croater to hand It up to Supreme
Court Justice Parker this afternoon.
Eberhard will be arraigned shortly after
ward.
Ottilie Eberhard appeared in black this
morning, having been allowed sufficient
money by the authorities to visit New
York with Mrs. Herman Abbenseth to
buy a mourning costume. She has not
seen Gus since the murder and says she
does not want to see him.
None of his relatives has called to see
him yet. The self-inf1icted wound in his

Washington Herald is unable to believe. We have no sympathy with the idea that the Democratic party or any oth- CT party, can be strapped to so- called conservative platform with any chance of winning. Those who preach conservatism, meaning thereby stoppage of necessary reforms and marking back to the let-alone policy of the pre- Rooseveltian era, have strangely under estimated the depth and force of the currents of public opinion bearing up such leaders as Roosevelt and Bryan. We have but touched the fringe of the corporation problem, to cite one in- stance, and we do not believe that the American people are ready to confess failure to master problem which has been practically solved in Great Britain and Germany, even while tremendous interests in this country have been rais- ing the false cry of conservatism v to defeat just and reasonable regulation.
 Mir. Bryan stands for political and so- cial progress. He wants the Democracy to do something and to stand for some thing, while his enemies are declaiming that it ought to do nothing but oppose what nine-tenths of the American peo- pie think ought to be done. Mir. Bryan refuses to be chained to body of death, and if his party is to be anything more than formless negation, it must follow his virile leadership and keep in touch with the American spirit Washington Herald.
