executor of the estate of her son was
won in Judge James court yesterday
by Mrs. Mary A Hunt, a woman SO
wears old and almost quite blind
Through a guardian she brought suit
to recover $500 deposited in Los An
geles bank, the proceeds of a sale
made by her husband before his death.
In her complaint she declared her hus-
band before his death endeavored to
indorse the paper but his hand was
so shaky he could not. Her claim was

TARIFF REMOVAL
AIDS ISLANDERS
FILIPINOS COMPELLED TO DO
WORK, SAYS OFFICIAL
OF MORO PROVINCE
HERE ON VISIT
Natives Dislike Free Trade with the
United States but Meet New
Conditions with Renewed
Energy

The removal of the tariff from i'm
ports and exports to and from the Phil
ippine islands has affected the United
States far eastern possessions for good
as nothing else could affect them, ac-
cording to f. A. Thompson, United
States treasurer for the province of
Moro on Mindanao island, who is here
on his vacation.
THE removal of the tariff has done
one thing which no amount of legisla
tion could have DONE" said Mr. Thomp-
son yesterday at the Hollenbeck. 1T
has awakened the natives to the fact
that they must get in and work and
progress a little If they wish to con-
tinue to exist The natives fought the
removal of the tariff to the best of
their ability. The more educated of the
people realized the import of letting
American goods into the islands free,
and tried to avoid it. However, now
that they see their efforts were useless,
they are already beginning to hustle
and compete with the Americans.
THE great trouble with the natives
of the Philippines is that they dislike
to change anything. That was why
they wanted the tariff. The removal
of that meant that MIR. Filipino would
have to quit his easy-going ways and
compete with outsiders. Naturally he
hated to do that He is making the
best of it now, and really doing very
well at it. Why, every newspaper and
magazine on the island is commenting
in current issues on the prosperity of
the islands.
Another thing the removal of the
tariff did which will greatly advance
the islands is to bring about the intro
duction of much new capital into them.
Just before I left for the United States
some investors bought up 5000 acres of
tobacco plantations. Later it was made
public that it was the American To-
bacco company which had made the
purchase and that they intended to
buy up more land.
almost at the same time several
thousand acres of sugar plantations
were snapped up by outside capital
This purchase was also supposed to
have been made by individuals, but it
soon developed that the sugar trust
was the owner of it, and both these
great corporations are making ready to
develop the islands resources in the
tobacco and sugar industry"
Mr.. Thompson has lived in the Phil
ippines for the past twelve years and is
thoroughly familiar with them He
will retire from the office of treasurer
June l, and will then engage entirely
In the rubber and cocoanut business.
He arrived yesterday from Washing
ton, where he filed his resignation re-
Gently, and will leave in a few days
for san Francisco to take ship from
there to the islands. He is accompanied
by his wife.

POLICE FAIL TO FIND CLEW
TO STOLEN MlLLET PAINTING
"The Shepherd and His Flock" Will
Be Kept Concealed Long
Time

SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-Al-
though a vigorous search is being
made by the police for the valuable
painting by Jean Francois Millet,
''The Shepherd and His Flock" which
yesterday was cut from it's frame in
the Golden Gate Park Memorial mu-
scum, the detectives detailed on the

MINISTER HELD
ASIAN OFFENDER
WILLIAM MORRIS ARRESTED
ON LARCENY CHARGE
POLICE DECLARE MAN PLAYED
JEKYLL.HDYE ROLE
Wore Clergyman's Vestments in Day
time and Carried on Debauch-
cry at Night, Is State
ment of Officials

clad in the vestments of a clergy
man of the Church of England, Will
liam Morris, who claims to be an
Fpiscopalian minister and general
evangelist at penitentiaries and prisons
of the United States, was arrested by
Patrolman McCarron and locked up IN
the city Jail yesterday on a charge OF
petty larceny.
Morris, who admitted he had fallen
from grace and yielded to the tempta-
ton to get drunk and associate with
women of the underworld, emphatical-
" declared he is a regularly ordained
minister and that illness caused him
to seek drink as a remedy for his ner-
vousness. He denied that the money
he received from various business men
in Los Angeles was used for any other
purpose than to help the poor and
needy.
The specific charge against Norris is
stealing $40 from Frederick Peattield, a
horse dealer, while the latter was
asleep in his room at the Hotel Water
Vile several days ago.
Peatfield, who swore to the COM
plant against the self-styled clergy
man, stated he met the man at the
Hotel Waterville a short time ago.
"I met him in the hall one even
few minutes and then l learned he
came from a town in England near
the place where l was born. We
chatted for short time, and I invited
him into my room to have a drink.
He accepted with alacrity and later on
he was in such a state of intoXication
that he was unable to go to his own
room. He remained with me that
night, and the following evening the
same thing occurred. This time Nor
ris had a woman with him. After the
woman left the apartment Morris
again became intoxicated and stayed
with me. When aWoke in the morn
ing 1 found my money was missing. I
accused Morris of the theft. He made
some excuse and left the room. The
next time L saw him he was in Gus
tody."
JekyII-Hyde Characteristics
The detectives who investigated the
case say Morris displayed the famous
characteristics of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde During the daytime, the police
found, Morris wore his ministerial
garb and sought subscriptions for his
AS soon as the street lights began to
burn he cast off his black frock,
donned a suit of more cheerful color
and frequented pool halls and saloons
and clinked beer mugs with laborers
and hoboes in the places in Main
street. When sufficiently under the
influence of liquor, so the police say,
Morris sought the society of the wom
en- of the under world and joined them
in their debauches.
