Was Isaac Garwood robbed OF $3.50
by his pal last night? is a question
which the Massillon police are solv-
ing. Looking somewhat the worse for
an overdose OF whiskey. Garwood
went to Lieutenant Botoner last nigh,
and declared that his pal had skipped
out with his wallet which he declared
contained $3.50. He furnished de-
scription OF his companion and the
lieutenant set out In pursuit Of the
culprit. After short hunt the sup
posed robber was apprehended In q
downtown saloon and taken to the po
lice station. A search of his clothes
brought forth a total OF s8 and this
seemed to be the extent of his fortune.
He was accompanied to the city Jail
by two intoxicated companions who
insisted upon spending the night with
him. All steadily declared that no
theft had been committed and said
that Garwood never had sum OF sucn
proportions upon his person. Later
Garwood was found completing his
carousal and was locked up with the
alleged thieves This morning when
all had sufficiently sobered to tell their
story, Garwood said that he guessed
that he must have spent hs money. He
came to Massillon with the other
three fellows from the scene OF the
construction of the new pipe line
near Beach City. intent upon having
a good time. The charge of intoxica-
tion will be preferred against all four
men and they will be given hearing
tomorrow morning In the mayors

New Record i'm Timber Cut Established

ever, would be too hasty inference.
for 1t Is almost wholly among mills

Before the year closed the general
business depression was severely felt
In the lumber industry. 1t was not,
however, the most important cause
OF falling off in the production OF
the year where n falling off occurred
For decline In production took place
only In certain regions. The south Is
the region OF greatest activity I'm lum-
Der production, and yellow pine the
most important wood forming 33 per
cent OF the entire cut Of the country.
The cut OF yellow pine reported shows
an Increase Of 10 per cent. over that
OF 1906. In the early part of the year
many of the southern mills cut SO
heavily that, In spite Of the curtailed
output which followed the business
disturbance later, the total was great
er than ever before. But in both the
lake states and the northwest
smaller cut was reported than for
1906, though the number of mills re-
porting increased.

TAFT'S SETTLEMENT OF THE
FRIARS' LAND PROBLEM.

In the whole story Of Judge Tafts
brilliant and useful career as jurist,
executive and diplomat there is no
more credltable chapter then that de-
voted to his adjustment of the contro-
versy concerning what were known AS
the "Friars' Lands" in the Philip
pines. Those lands, consisting OF
some 100000 acres of the most fer
tile soil in the islands, were held by
priests of certain religious orders, but
were occupied and farmed by native
tenants, who complained that the
rentals exacted by their clerical land
lords were excessive. Upon the with
drawal Of Spanish authority from the
Archipelago the Friars' Lands became
tae subject of earnest controversy.
The farmer tenants contended that
the property should be taken from the
priests and thrown open to purchase
in small parcels by the actual occu-
pants. There was demand, indeed,
for the confiscation of the property
and the priests themselves, in their
ignorance of American methods, were
fearful that such a course might be
adopted.
1t became one of Mr.. Taft's tasks
to settle this serious dispute, and he
accomplished II in a manner which
not only greatly increased his own
popularity and enlarged American
prestige in the islands, but developed
among the clerical authorities and the
tenant farmers vastly more neighbor-
ly spirit, and more harmonious
community of interest than had ever
existed before. Mr.. Taft carefully in
yestigated all conditions relating TO
the Friars' Lands He consulted the
clerical landlords, the higher church
authorities and the tenant farmers.
Then he went to Rome, where his
proposals for an amicable adjustment
of the controversy received the cordial
approval of the papal authorities
The Friars' Lands were purchased for
sum approximating $7,O00,000
Clerical landlorGism ceased and the
property was divided into small par
cells and sold OH easy terms to former
tenants and others DESTROYS of engag.
ing in agriculture.
The real Importance Of this trans.
action is appreciated only by those
| familiar with the manifold and deli
cate problems which have been en-
countered in the work of American
izing the Philippines. The settlement
of the affair by Mr.. Taft removed per-
manently fruitful source of friction
between the civil and the religious in
terests of the islands. 1t laid the
foundation for kindlier relations and
more intimate cooperation between
the civil government and the autaorl-
ties of the church. 1t set before the
Fihpnos a high example OF American
friendship and fair dealing which is
bound to exert wholesome moral
and educational influence for mary
years to come.

CHOLERA IN RUSSIA

severity and numbers that Of 1898.
The disease is Increasing rapidly at
an alarming rate, and there is every
reason to fear that the situation will
get out Of hand The government
has threatened to apply the provi.
sions of martial law, and this threat
has driven the municipality officials
to bend their energies to the cam
paign of clearing the city Of the
voted preliminary sum amounting
to $250,000 for preliminary work, and
to expedite the interment of bodies,
which has been VIGOROUSLY slow. The

many corpes lie unburied. Thousands

Saturday prohibited the sale of liquor
throughout the city, including the

Their ordered that after that the sale
of liquor shall be suspended at p.
m. on Saturday un.n 40 a. m. Mon
day. This action has been taken in
order to diminish alcoholic excuses,
which very materially increases the
liability to cholera infection and the
general spread of the disease.
A beginning was made when public
schools were transformed into hos.
pital wards. A number OF the
grammer schools were closed and
1000 of the students sent to their
homes.
The situation, which has always
been serious since the very first case
was reported, assumes graver as
pect from the appearance Of very
virulent type of the disease.
The cholera was first reported this
year about the end of July. It was
of virulent type and the percent.
age of mortality was high. The dis.
ease spread rapidly into the provinces
along the Volga, down both coasts OF
the Caspian and in the territory of
the Don Cossacks. BY the end Of
August there was an average OF 1900
cases reported each week, with
mortality of upward of so per cent.

THE recent death In London OF Lionel
i Sackville Sackville-West. second
Baron Sackville, recalls the diplomatic
row which resulted In his dismissal
as minister to this country.
Lord Sackville was born In 1927.
He was British minister to the United
States from 1881 to 1888, being dis.
missed by President Cleveland In Oc-
tober Of the latter year.
Lord Sackville's dismissal by Cleve-
land practically ended his diplomatic
career, for since 1888 he was never
intrusted with any important diplo-
matte mission. He lived quietly the
life of country gentleman and sci.
iom appeared in London society. He
always retained grudge against
America and Americans, and 1t was
pis custom to avoid any meetings with
travellers from this side.

A RMY officers and at least one prom.
n inent civilian official of the war
department expect the disposition OF
the cadet hazing cases to result In the
creation of jolly row In congress
next winter. They base their belief
upon the fact that the six cadets sus-
pended for a year were never found
guilty of anything other than hazing,
for which the only penalty is expul-
sion.
The query has been going around
among officers who think the six
should have been dismissed as to what
answer Secretary Wright will make
when congress asks by what authority
those cadets were suspended. Such
an inquiry Is firmly expected.
Assistant Secretary oliver, 1t Is
well known at the war department,
does not agree with his superior as to
the wisdom of the action taken by
him. Gen. Oliver took great pleasure
in announcing that the president had
closed the case by approving the find
ing Of guilty and directing their dis
missal. He left Washington, thinking
that the case had been closed and
that the order dismissing the cadets
would be issued as mere matter Of
routine. He did all he considered nee.
essary to bring about such an ending.
When the papers came to him he for
Yarded them to the president. When
hey came back Endorsed with the
