st. Paul, May 13.-Louis Arbogast.
the we'll known West Seventh street

and his bed, the police say, was
saturated with oil and set on fire.
The affair is rather mysterious and
the police are investigating, as the
stories of Miss Ida Arbogast, aged %,
the daughter of dead man, and her
mother do not agree as to the details.
The daughter told Police Captain
Clark that she smelled smoke coming
from her parents room early in the
morning and went to the room where
she found the bed ablaze. Her father
and mother were in it. II dragged
my mother out" she said to Captain
Clark. BY this time the bed was all

tells different story. She is report
ed to have said that she was in the
bathroom taking bath when she
heard her daughter scream. She ran
to her husbands room and found the
bed ablaze with her husbands un-
conscious form lying on it. Coroner
Miller discovered that Arbogasts
head had been crushed but whether
by club or shattered by bullet he
was unable to say. In the investigat-

axe wrapped in old clothes in the cell

At 2 o'clock this afternoon, al
though rumors that an arrest had
been made in the case, the police
would not admit that there had been.

New York. May 13-The Wright

However much at home the brothers
may be amid the perils of the upper

they were extremely shy as guests
of honor. At the luncheon rendered
by the Aero club of America at the
Lawyers club. both had reluctantly
consented to be on the program Of
speakers. But they appeared i'm
mensely relieved when the ordeal was
over. Wilbur spoke first-three sem
tences that lasted less than sixty sec
onds by the clock. Oville followed
and his speech was just half as lang.
Assailed by interviewers. Orville
referred all questioners to Wilbur
and Wilbur then turned them over to
Orville. Together they said that in
their opinion the use OF the aero
plane for dropping bombs or explo-
sives into a hostile army was imprac-
ticable. "The only practicable use of
aeroplanes in warfare will DO as
scouts and messengers" they said
"The plane must rise thousand or
fifteen hundred feet above the ground
in order to be safe from shell fire and
at that distance you can't drop any
thing with accuracy from machine
moving forty or fifty miles an hour"

MOTHER RISKED LIFE
She Dashed Into Burning House and
Saved her Children.

sperling, Man., May 13.-Mrs. Harry
Courtney, at the risk of her life, forced
her way through the flames of her
burning house yesterday afternoon.
and though sustaining severe burns
about her head and ears, brought out
her four children from the inner
room practically uninjured. Mrs
Courtney had just left the house to go
to the stable to milk, and looking
back saw that the house was in
flames. She fastened to the house
and finding that the only entrance
was through the kitchen which was
already on fire, she threw her apron
over her head and dashed inside, sue
ceeding in dragging out the four chill
dren who were huddled in the back
room. Mrs. Courtney had celluloid
comb in the back of her hair and this
caught fire, burning her head and
ears badly before she succeeded in
extinguishing it with her apron. Mr.
Courtney arrived from the field but
was unable to save the house or any
of its contents. Two of the children
are slightly burned. The condition
Of Mrs. Courtney is not considered as
critical.

TUBERCULOSIS
DAIRY COW HIT
Nathan Straus Declares She Is
Responsible for Spread of
White Plague

Washington, May 13.-That the eff
forts against tuberculosis has failed
to check the great white plague was
the startling charge made today by
Nathan Straus, the New York philan-
thropist at Fifth Annual Meeting of
the National Association for Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis here
today. Straus backed up his asser-
ton by the official statistics of the
New York health department, show
ing an increase of thirty-three per
cent in two years in the case of
tuberculosis in the city that DR.. Koch
describes as leading the whole world
In the fight against the disease. The
reason for this failure to make head
way. Mr.. Straus declared, was the
neglect of the mischief wrought by
the tuberculosis dairy COW.

POLICE INSIST ON
QU|zz|NG JAMES
Latter's Lawyer Refuses to
Produce Him for Interroga.
tion AS to Murder

Winnipeg, May 13.-The Winnipeg
police have demanded the production
Of Lewis James for Interrogation in
Connection with the murder of Mrs.
James. H. A. Burbidge, acting for
James, refused to produce his client
for this purpose unless he were per-
mitted to be present at the interview
and allowed to interpose any objec-
tions to the line of Interrogation
adopted, which he might consider nec-
essary for the protection of his
client.
The police requested that James
should attend at the police station,
but Mr.. Burbidge declined to allow
this on the ground that his client
might be subjected to sweating"
H. w. Whitla, acting on behalf Of
the police department, then made a
formal demand on Mr.. Burbidge that
Mr.. James be produced at Mr.. Whit
las office instead of at the police sta
tion, and that he be examined by the
police in the presence of Mr.. Whitla,
the examination to be recorded by a
stenographer. Mr.. Burbidge again
refused to produce his client.
Mr.. Burbidge's Statement.
Mr.. Burbidge said it was quite true
that he had refused to allow his cli-
ent to be interrogated by the police
just when and where they pleased.
"They want access to him to exam
inc him privately at any time." said
Mr.. Burbidge, "and I certainly shall
not consent. have volunteered to
give them all the information that
can be obtained from James, and in
fact have given it to them already. II
they really want information they can
get it a great deal better through me
than by cross-questioning him, but it
seems to me that the idea is not so
much to obtain information as to get
some statements from him which
might be distorted into something sus-
picious against him. Mr.. Whitla, the
city prosecutor, informed me that he
wished to have James come to his
Office for examination, and asked IL
1 might be there. Mr.. Whitla said
certainly not and declined to allow
him to examine James in my absence.
Under the circumstances. I would not
be willing now to allow him to be in
terrogated by the police even in my
presence. II he were not at all con-
nected with the matter there would
not be any objection to his being ex-
amined by the police, but while they
maintain their present attitude to-
wards him feel it my duty to pro-
tect him."

DOES NOT WANT
ANY FREE TRADE
The Philippine !; Commissioner
Shows It Would be 1njur-
ious to Islands

Washington, May 13.-Resident
Commissioner Ocampo. one of the rep
resentatives in congress of the
Philippine Islands, today voiced his
endorsement of tho protest against
free trade between the United States
and the Philippines which recently
found expression through a number of
Filipinos residing, for the present, in
Boston. Ho said:
THE Philippine assembly, the true
representative of popular sentiment,
has, in conjunction with the upper
house. which is composed largely Of
Americans, expressed itself, before
this, in opposition to free trade. and
since the passage of the bill by the
house of representatives, the feeling
against 1t has grown more intense for
the reasons stated above. apart flom
the economic viewpoint Of the matter,
which also is in no way enCoLl aging,
because it necessarily will embarrass
the Philippine government financially.
This free trade. proposition is a
case of life and death with us. The
ambition Of the Filipinos to live an in
dependent life is one which is unde-
niable and persistent, and any meas
ure tending to oppose it would only
| stir the people Of the islands and op-
crate to prevent the development Of a
better feeling between. Americans and
Filipinos.
"The Filipinos who signed the pro-
test have done nothing mores than to
give expression to feeling univer-
sal in the islands against free trade.
for the consequences it would bring
to the islands in the long run.
Il hope that no one will think that
in expressing the aspirations Of the
Philippine people for ultimate. rea-
sonably prompt and absolute inde-
pendence, l am lacking in, or that
they have ceased to feel. profound
gratitude for the opportunity that the
American republic gave us to be rid
Of Spain. Surely in the land of Wash
ington, Jefferson and Adams it can be
permitted us to express the wish that
we may be allowed to govern our
selves. 1t ought to be understood that
in the centuries of protest against the
rule of Spain we were not merely try
ing to throw off one foreign yoke to
go under another.
ProVldence IN its wisdom made us
different race. Our problems arc
not those of Europe or America. and
we cannot approach their considera-
ton with the same mind. What is
best for Europe or America is not
necessarily best for Asia, and Asiatic
problems ought better be left to the
people Of that part of the world for
solution. But one idea we do have in
common, and that is a desire to be
permitted to govern ourselves. This
thought is stronger with us than tho
desire for mere economic gain, and
while we would like the greatest pos
sible commercial prosperity, we are
willing to defer it rather than forever
lose our hope of independence by an
artifically rapid development through
American corporations. / concur in
the protest of the Filipinos who re-
side in Boston"
