Taft Explains His Philippine Policies


Mr.. Taft, replying to a letter from
Rev. Angus Larson of St. Paul ask
ing him to state his Philippine policies
relating to their bearing on Catholic
ism, says in part:
"You ask me whether $1,000, 900
were paid to the Catholic church out
of the United States treasury. on my
recommendation. reply that it was
not. The friars' agricultural lands in
the Philippines, $4,000 acres or about
that amount, we're purchased from the
corporation formed by the three
orders of the friars in the Philippines,
and the money was paid from bonds
issued by the Philippine government
under authority of congress, and is a
charge upon the Philippine islands.
The purchase was approved by the
Filipinos.
"In a speech in New Y ork, I did not
make plea for the Roman Catholic
church in the Philippines, except to
say this: That the influence of all the
churches in the Philippines was neces-
sary for the uplifting of the people,
and therefore, that every one would
desire the prosperity of all the
churches, and that as the Roman
Catholic church had the largest fol-
lowing, every one, Protestants or
Catholics, would desire its prosperity.

It is generally believed that the wide

Straight Prohibition Demanded.

SUGAR TRUST FACES
$3,624,121 SUITS
Government Alleges Customs
Charges Evaded by Use of
Manipulated Scales
American Sugar Refining COm=
pany Made Defendant in
Six Different Actions

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The United
States government has brought six
suits against the American sugar re-
ining company to recover forfeitures
and customs receipts amounting to
S3,624,121 on sugar delivered at the
Havemeyer & Elder refineries in Brook
lyn during the last six years The
government alleges fraud in weighing
shipments
The first of the suits was for 81, ,500.-
900, and was fled with the courts Oc-
tober 10, and the others were filed Oc-
tober 2S. The filing of the action was
kept from the public knowledge until
after the election, but was made known
here today. The American sugar refn-
ing company has fled a denial of the
charges.
Two of the suits We're brought for
the forfeiture of all importations of
sugar delivered at the Havemeyer &
Elder refinery for a period of but two
years, owing to the statute of limita-
tions. although the first action alleges
fraudulent weighing for six years.
The complaint alleging violations of
section of the customs act of 1890
charge that the checker at the Brook
lyn refinery manipulated the plat
form scales as to conceal the true
weights.
The second and third suits involve
amounts exceeding 100000, the others
varying between 100000 and 100000.

Rather Go to Jail
Labor Convention Looking for
Way to Hide Funds of the
Organization

DENVER. Nov. 16.-President Samuel
Gompers. at the afternoon session of
the convention OF the American fedora
tion of labor today. declared that if
he We're found guilty and fined in the
contempt proceedings pending against
him at Washington. he would go TO jail
before he would pay his fine or allow
the federation to pay it for him.
This statement was made by Gompers
during the discussion of the report Of
the committee on the treasurer's report
The committee recommended that inn
mediately following the adjournment OF
the convention the executive council
shall take up the proposition of placing
its funds where they NAV be removed
from danger of attachment. This re-
port brought out a political discussion
in which several members declared
themselves in favor of the formation Of
an Independent political party.
Treasurer John B. Lennon said he
had discussed the matter OF safeguard
ing the funds with good attorneys and
they all agreed that it was impissible
without resulting at some time in per-

tions We're made from the floor, one be-

some way the hidden funds. but to

BY request. Gompers explained the
status of the Danbury hat case. The
lower courts held that there was no
case under the Sherman antitrust law.
but the United States supreme court
had reversed this decision and re-
manded the case to the lower court for
retrial. Continuing he said: Our

the Sherman antitrust law to unions
has reached final adjustment by the
