AMERICAN WOMEN
BRAVE UNDER FIRE
MANILANS PRAISE HER0ISM OF
FAIR FIGHTERS
Refugees and Inmates at Convent, Be-
sieged by constabuIary MutIneers
Of Philippines, Proved Cool
and Courageous
(By Associated Press.)

MANILA, June 15,--The courage and
coolness under fire of the American
women at Davao during the siege Of
the convent in which all Americans
were gathered during the mutiny on
June 6, when a part of the company
of Philippine constabulary at that post
reVblted, is the subject of warm praise
in "a private message received today
from Davao which contains further de-
tails Of the affair.
After the attack on the barracks,
which fell into the hands of the muti-
neers, all the Americans of the post
and sixteen of the native constabulary
who remained loyal gathered in the
convent and repulsed the assaults of
the mutineers. The women remained
cool and unafraid during the defense Of
the building and assisted the men in
every way possible. Captain Allen
Walker of the Philippine scouts, gov
ernor of Davao province, was slightly
wounded during the attacks on the
church.
The pursuit of the twenty-three mu-
tineers who retired to the mountains
when their assaults upon the convent
proved unavailing has already COM
menced.
Mutineers Identified
The mutineers are of the Visayan
tribe. Two companies of Moro con-
stabulary will join in the pursuit later.
Acting Governor General Forbes Of
the Philippines has sent to the bureau
of insular affairs at Washington the
following dispatch regarding the mu-
tiny of the Second company, Davao
constabulary, on June 6:

ficer, attacking American community,
one of whom was killed and four slight

NEW YORK. June 14.-Announce-

Miss Edith Irwin Walter, the favorite
niece of Augustus Thomas, the play

society, to Julien Lansdell Hume.
Miss Walter had everything in readi-

to an automobile broker of Middletown,
N. Y, when it was discovered that he
had a wife living. The young woman
was shopping with her fiance when his
wife happened to see them and ex-
posed him.
The wedding invitations were recalled
the night before the wedding was to
take place, and for several weeks Miss
Walter suffered from nervous prostra-
ton.
Early this spring Miss Walter was
engaged to marry Robert Patterson a
wealthy young hotel owner of Homes
dale, Pa. She was wearing his en-
gagement ring and dressmakers were
at work on her trousseau, the date for
the wedding having been set for June 3.
Early in May Miss Walter broke the
engagement without making any pub
lie explanation.
Mr.. Hume comes from a well known
southern family.

Gently and demanded that a divorce

ARE VERIFIED
BY TOPEKA WOMAN
Mrs Robbins Vouches for Work Accom-
plished by New Treatment

One of the claims made by L. Il.
Cooper while introducing his celebrated
medicines at the Owl drug store IN
Los Angeles several months ago was
that rheumatism is best eradieated
from the system by treatment admin
istered through the stomach, and that
his new discovery preparation would
accomplish this result in the shortest
possible time.
AS rheumatism is caused by impur-
ity of the blood, and as the stomach,
by reason of the food entering into II,
is responsible for the conditlon OIL the
blood. it necessarily follows that the
stomach, being the primary cause OF
illness. is the organ that should be
treated in order to expel the disease
from the system.
That this theory is correct and that
the Cooper medicine will do what Is
claimed for it, is vouched for by Mrs.
Ahi Robbins, r. F. d. No. 2, Topeka,
Los Angeles herald., 1909-06-15

Kas., in recent statement. Mrs. Rob-
bins says:'
Three years ago l was SO badly
crippled up with rheumatism that L
could not get around without assist
ance. / had tried many remedies, but
could find none that would give me
relief. One day while looking oyer a
newspaper my husband chanced to
read an advertisement of the Cooper
remedies. was so much impressed
with the claims of Mr.. Cooper that
sent for treatment of Coopers New
Discovery.
"It helped me at once. and in a few
weeks time all the pain and distress
had left me. We have since used con-
siderable of the Cooper medicine IN
our family for various complaints and
would not be without 1t In the house.
We have always found 1t helpful"

in Los Angeles at the Owl drug stores.

OFFICIALS MAKE
TESTS Of SPEED
Some Think That Eight Miles an Hour
Is Too Slow on Straightaway
But Want Slow Speed
on Corners.

For the purpose of showing city of
ffcials just what speed might with
safety be maintained on the business
streets of the city, automobile owners
yesterday afternoon took members OF
the city council for a spin in their
machines, and the city fathers will be
in a position to talk intelligently, when
the proposed ordinance, cutting the
speed limit to miles an hour, comes
up for passage.
Recent events have forced the fact
upon the council that something must
be done to regulate speeding in this
city. With scarcely a day passing
that some accident is not reported
from speeding automobiles the nee
essity for action is felt to be urgent
and that some kind of an ordinance
limiting the speed of the machines in
the city to a more moderate pace
will be passed in the near future is
probable.
In the run made yesterday after
noon tests were made at speeds vary
ing from 8 to 40 miles an hour. After
the run most OF the cOuncilmen agreed
that eight miles an hour was really
too slow on straightaway courses
though they were unanimous that the
speed when crossing street 1nterSec-
tons and rounding corners, ought to
be limited at least to tine require
ments of the state law, which pro-
vides four miles an hour. Present in
dications are that some difference OF
opinion as to just what speed should
be permitted in the business section
will materialize before the new or
dinance proposed is finally passed. 1t
was stated yesterday by one of the
councilmen that some of the machines
in town were geared too high to allow
them to run at a less speed on the
straightaway courses than ten miles
per hour. unless they were on an up
grade or very heavily loaded. Ordln-
ances from all the cities of import
ance in the northwest have been re-
ceived here and are now under III
spection by the city oflclals.

REMEMBER UNIFORMS
AT MONTREAL SHOW
Prize List includes Two Premiums
for Long Forgotten Class of En-
tries-Popular In Days Gone
BY.

MONTREAL, May 12.-The prize list
Of the Montreal Horse show, which
opened at the Arena today is especially
attractive IS regards the harness
horses. A couple of special features
have been added, and they are of such
nature that they should furnish the
kenest kind of competition. One of
these is for uniforms, which consists
of pair and a leader. 1t is a number
of years now since this style of driving
has gone out in Montreal. Such turn
outs were very popular in the old days
when King Carnival. reigned, and the
Montreal Tandem club was an institu
ton which furnished one of the main
attractions of the big fetes. The
Tandem club drive was always looked
forward to with a great deal of pleas
ure by the inhabitants and as a rule
called forth unstinted praise and adj
miration of the visitors. 1t gave out
siders a splendid idea of the class of
horses and equipages that could be
turned out in this city, and the unicorn
teams with their excellent Wheelers
and prancing leaders were the envy of
visiting horsemen. In placing class
for uniforms on the program the show
committee believe that they are dong
something that will be greatly apDrc-
ciated.
Another new class is that for col
lection of horses. The rules for this
competition call for an entry of three
harness horses to be driven single. The
idea is that they shall be sent around
the ring in groups, each owners entry
keeping together as far as is feasible
This competition will go long way to
test the quality of the different stables.
| One of the harness classes that has
always been popular in Montreal IS
the local run about class. Here 1t is
that the plaudits of the crowds are
more split up than in almost any otner
/ competition, for every owner OF an en-
i trv has his friends in the house, and
/ each and every one gives his favorlte
unstinted applause. The prize winner
this wear in this event receives
cup besides one Of money, which has
been kindly donated by Mr.. H. V. Mer-
/ edith. manager of the Bank of Mon
treal.
