The manner IN which Mrs. Craven re-

Mrs. Craven had lighted a gasolene

viii Hold to the Philippines
TIN independence Is Assured

Representative Cooper, chairman OF
the House Committee on Insular At
fairs, is of the opinion that the United
States will not loosen its hold on the
philippines except on one condition;
that there shall be reached an Igree-
ment Of the great powers. including
Japan and China, as to the permanent
status Of the archipelago. This status
must be one OF Independence, possibl,
under some sort OF espionage OF the
United States, or involving the United
States in the primary responsibility of
assuring that satisfactory conditions
shall be maintained.
Mr.. Cooper does not believe that there
is much effective increase Of opinion in
favor of turning the islands loose I'M
der present conditions. He Is asked
frequently whether there is disposition
TO adopt such a course, and his answer
in every case has been that there is
no present prospect % a Slme when the
United States will permit such a treat
ment OF the archipelago, except on the
conditions suggested, Of an interna-
tional guarantee. He believes that the
time may come when the islands, well
founded in the idea Of popular govern

and its civilization and Industries mod
ernized, may be set up as sort of

For more than a quarter Of century
Captain Randall had been a conspicuous
figure on the river front, and was as
well known as if he held public office.
Few men have done more 10 improve

or afford pleasure TO its population
than Captain Randall. He was a self
made man, and Will long be remembered
for his assistance to others. particularly
young men who were striving to raise
themselves. Captain Randall vas a
picturesque individual, standing more
than six feet, weighing about Z25 pounds,
and possessing striking features and a

his way ny from purser TO captain OF
the vessel, and then branched out into
the excursion steamboat business for

He purchased the old Mary vanishing
ton and opened the resort known as
River View. The popularity Of this re-
sort was proved by the general regret
expressed when il was closed. Captain

roller coaster and other mechanical
devices.

Every woman will love tie play,
She will love every character in it,

Because the men in the play talk like

MURDERERS FEWER
Indiana Statistics Show a De-
crease in Their Number
In 1907.
THIS Is REMARK LE

That there has been a marked de-
crease in the number OF persons con
yicted Of murder in Indiana each year
Since 1909, is shown by the reports at
the office Of Governor Hanly. 1t is
shown that the number committed to
the state reformatory for murder in
1907 was nineteen, All Of these, OF
course. were sentenced on charges OF
nanslaughter. The number commit
ted to the state prison on the charge
Of murder in 1907 was thirty-three. OF
these seventeen were sentenced for life
and thirteen were sentencd on man
slaughter charges the sentence being
from two to twenty-one years in each
case.
The decrease in the number of per-
sons convicted of murder in Indiana
in the last two years is remarkable.
said the governor For the calendar
year 1907. there were but fifty-twO con
EictiOns, as against siXty-One in 13b,
and 100 in 1905. and the ratio Of the
number of persons convicted TO the
number of persons arrested and charg-
ed with the crime of murder was high
er both in 1906 and 1907 than in 1900.
The enforcement of the law requiring
saloons to close AT II O'Clock and to
remain closed on Sunday and on legal
holidays has been an important factor
in the lessening Of this great crime,
one in which physical violence is al
ways necessarily involved"
