To TACOMA HERO /
RESIDENTS OF DAVAO, PHILIPPINE PERPETU-
ATE MEMORY OF ROY LIBBY, LIFE
q PROTECTING WOMEN AND CHILDREN-ACCoUNT OF
II MUTINY RECEIVED HERE.

Details of the Davao (Philip-
pine islands) mutiny, in which
Roy Libby, former resident of
Tacoma, lost his life while pro-
tecting women and children, have
been received by Gene Holley,
clerk at the Tourist hotel, in let
tiers and papers from the scene of
the uprising. A movement has
now been started to erect a monu-
ment to Libby's memory.
The mutiny broke out in an
army post IT miles from Davao
on the night of June 8, when an
officer started to make a round
of the constabulary barracks and
was shot down by the ringleaders.
The mutineers then fled to the
swamps and headed for Taloma,
taking with them the launch be-
longing to the governor. Two
days later the mutineers reached
Davao, where there were only six
American men and they had six
women and two children to pro-
tect.
Skirmish Line Formed.
AS soon as 1t was found that
they were to attack the town a
skirmish line was formed, and
the Americans advanced as far
as the river. No insurgents were
encountered, and the Americans
returned to town, leaving Roy and
Percy Libby and another man as
sentries. All the women and
children we're taken to the con-
vent, and just then 1t was ascer-
tanned that the mutineers had
quietly approached the town. A
native sergeant first saw them
and gave the alarm by firing and

shooting the leader. This discon-
certed them, and they hesitated.
Many escaped to town.
Libby Dies Quickly.
Then the mutineers opened fire
on the sentries, and Roy Libby
was hit in the left side. He call
ed out to his comrades:
''They have got me. But don't
worry. l still have my gum"
These were his last words. He
died almost instantly, clutching
his rifle in his hands. The fight
continued for several days, and
was finally ended by the arrival
of reinforcements, who captured
some of the mutineers and dis
persed the others.
To Erect Monument.
Roy Libby, who gave up his
life in defense of the women and
children in Davao, was buried in
the convent grounds, and a mon
ument is to be erected in the
principal street of the city perpet.
uating his memory.
The dead hero of Davao was
we'll known in Tacoma. He was
born in Minneapolis, and came to
this city as a civil engineer in the
employ of the Northern Pacific
He then went to work for the
Bowes company, and remained
with them while Regents park
was being laid out. A little more
than a year ago he went to Min
danao, and joined his brother in
conducting a plantation. While in
Tacoma he made host of friends.
and when the first news of his
death was received here regret
was expressed.

The first 1910 derby hat has
arrived and a single glance shows
that it's going to be a hard win
ter for the long-faced man. This
seasons derby is about fourth
again as high as last years. It's
tall and tapering and must be
worn high on the head.
Do you remember those green
hats that Andrew Mack and
Chauncey Olcott wear on the stage
to look like the ould Oirish gintle'
min? Well, that's the nearest
thing to the new derbies. The
brim does not roll over at the
side, but has an edge that is near
ly fiat. Any long-faced man this
year will look like an undertak er
when he dons the top-piece.
Last season, of course, the
chubby-faced man had to wear a
chubby little derby to be in style,
and the result of the combination
made his face look like a half

EIGHTY FOOT
 CLOCK TOWER
How Manufacturing Concern Will Use
 Advertising Value of its Site.

A conspicuous part of the plant which the Whiting Mfg. Go. is to build in the East End will be a tower so feet high. at the top of which will be a clock with four eight foot dials.
 President Fred Enos. of the board of trade, impressed upon the officers of the company the advantage of a To- cation beside the railroad, passed by all of the trains between New York and Boston. The company, whose plant has been hidden away on the East Side in Manhattan, was plea with the idea of location in the open where it's light would not be hidden under a bushel.
 The clock dials, it is said, will be seen for nearly a mile in every direc- tion. Lighted up at night, and bearing the name of. the largest manufacturers of sterling silver in the world. the tower and it's clock will be a striking object. The plant is situated on the bank of Bruce's brook, which marks the line between Bridgeport and Strat- ford.

JAPAN MAY AGAIN
 CLASH WITH CHINA
Especial from United Press.)


 Tokio, Aug. 6.-An open clash with China is threatened in the decision of the Japanese government today to commence work within a few days on the reconstruction of the Antung- Mukden railway in Manchuria, re- gardless of the Chinese protest. The utmost anxiety is felt here in diplo- matic circles over the result of Jap ans determination to no longer post pone her railway operations. There is still a faint hope that when China sees that Japan is determined to go ahead she will make certain conces- sions that will avoid a crisis but this hope is based merely on China's well understood diplomatic tangle.
 Japan also wishes to change the road to conform with her Corean road and demands a better guard of fifteen sol diers to the kilometer and the policing of the towns along the road by Jap anese. Japan, who under the treaty, is given the right to operate the road for 15 years for. commercial purposes, insists that such measures are neces- sary for the proper maintenance of the road. China asserts that the changes proposed by Japan are all in the interests of Japanese military ag- gressions in Manchuria.

BRIDE, WIDOW AND UNEXPECTED
 HEIR WITHIN ONE MONTH

New York. Aug. 6.-Within a month Katherine Howe Powers, of Herkimer street, Brooklyn, has been a bride, has become a widow and has been made the unexpected heir to a substantial legacy. The recovery on Wednesday of the body of Robert Powers, twenty six years old, near Hammefs Station, Rockaway, has brought to light the fact that he and Miss Howe were Se- cretly married on July 13.
 On that day took place the funeral of Dc. Andrew J. Dower, of Ocean ave- nue, who had died on July 10, leaving a fortune to be distributed among his secretary and five nephews and nieces. Robert M. Powers was one of the ben eEciarieS.
 On the day of sDr. power's funeral Robert learned that he was one of his uncles heirs, and this is believed to have had something to. do with his de- termination to- marry at once. On Sun day last, Robert, his sister, Anna. and Miss Jessie Kirk went to Hammell's. While in a row boat that evening the young women transferred themselves to a launch containing friends, which came alongside, but Robert remained in the rowboat, saying he was going to have a swim. That was the last seen of him till his body was recovered Wednesday afternoon.
 Frantic with grief over the disap- pearance of her husband, young Mrs Powers went to the Powers home at
  before Roberts body was recovered, and told his brother and three sisters, John, Nora, Anna and Francis, of her marriage. The common sorrow felt bv all led her new relatives to receive her with open arms, and at their re quest she remained withf them. She had lived in Hopkinson avenue, near McDouga1 street
 pr. Dower's will was offered for pro- bate on Wednesday, but action was postponed by Surrogate Ketcham un- til August 16 because of the death of Robert.
 Frederick Nagle. an intimate friend of Robert, met the latter on Friday, two days before the drowning, and was invited by Robert to go to Rock away with him on Sunday Nagle re- fused, saying that he had already made arrangements for that day. He went swimming off the foot of Dover street, Manhattan, and was drowned at prac- ticary the same time that his friend disappeared.

INDIAN BOYCOTT
 ON ENGLISH GOODS
Especial from United Presso

London, Aug. 6.-English merchants are plainly perturbed today over the outcome of the Indian boycott on Eng fish goods which is to go into effect to- morrow. If the boycott becomes as effective as is now feared it will mean the loss of S1OO 100000 by English merchants and the gain of nearly this much by German, Japanese and Amer ican merchants. The province of Ben gal alone buys about S50,000,00O worth of English goods a year.
 The boycott is a part of the Hindu plan to cripple the influence of Eng land in her great dependenscy, and it has been seized upon as a more eX- pedient measure than open warfare, as it gives England no means of re- taliation. After August : the decree has gone out among the Hindus that any of their race who buys or handles English goods imported in English ships will be an outcast among his countrymen.
