Another effort will be made to get TIM
othy L. Woodruff to retire from the chair
manship of the Republican State commit
tee in time to permit his successor to be-
come familiar with organization affairs
before the opening of the fall campaign.
This effort, however, will be entirely
pacific. The Federal Republicans will try
to convince Mr.. Woodruff that he owes
it to the party to retire.
This proposition was discussed at the
conference held between Senator Root,
Collector William Loeb. jr.. and Naval
Officer F. ]. II. K.acle, of Brooklyn This
conference was held at the White House.
The President did not take any active
part,
Federal Group Active.
Mr.. Woodruff resented suggestions made
to him two weeks or more ago that he
resign from the craftsmanship Senator
Root and his friends canvassed the State
committee and found that a majority of
the committeeman were against making
any immediate move against Woodruff
The proposed fight was consequently
called Off, and now the Federal group
will try to make Mr. Woodruff see the
matter. as a party duty. To Senator Root
has been assigned the mission.
PARIS Friends Active.

HOOver's Name "A Surprise.
While it has been generally understood

EVIDENCE OF UNREST
FilipinOS Seek Declaration
by United States.

An i'll concealed feeling of displeasure
is evident at the War Department at the
cumulative evidences of unrest in the
Philippines.
Following closely on the recent reports
of prospective trouble in Mindanao. as a
result Of the policy of leniency inau-
gurated by Gen. Pershing, contrary to
the judgment of Gen. Leonard Wood and
other distinguished officers who preceded
him in command of the department. the
latest mails bring word that the Prog
resista party has fallen into control of a
radical element and is demanding Of Con-
gress a statement as 10 the future inten-
tons Of the government.
Aside from the arguments used by ad-
vOeates OF Philippine independence, which
Is now the avowed desire of the party, d
further claim is based on the ground the
safety of the islands and their people is
threatened if the impression that the
archipelago is a dependence Of the United
States is not dissipated. This position
is assumed upon the hypothesis that if
the Philippines constitute a portion of the
domain of this country in the event of
war, those islands being the most preg-
nable Of our possessions, an enemy would
promptly descend upon them and they
would become the seat of protracted con
fict.
1t is the belief of Fflipinos that a
declaration by the United States that
only a suzerainty is maintained over the
islands with q view TO their pvenftIa !
absolute independence, would relieve them
of possible danger.
Declaration of PrOgresistaa.
The declaration of the PrOgresistas was
made at a convention in Manila on Jan
uary 81, as appears from the following
account in the Cablenews-A American. Of
that city:
BY resolution unanimously approved
by the Progresista convention. the Pro-
gresista party has openly declared its II
Nacionalista, and has agreed to call on
the Congress of the United States to de-
clare in a solemn and unequivocal man
ner that il is the intention of the United
States to concede the Filipino people
their independence, and that It's sover-
eighty here is but temporary.
They ask that this declaration be
made in a formal manner to the powers
Of the world so that it may be made
clear the Philippine Islands do not form
an integral part CT the United States,
but are merely held under tutelage until
such time as an independent government
can be formed"

temporary prosperity.

Col. Roosevelt is constantly followed by
mob Of amateur photographers and

to use strategy to avoid them. Those who
get in personal touch with him are en-

ASKS PITY FOR JAPAN
Mission Worker Says United
States Neglected Her.
A HARDENED NATION NOW
DIR. r. F. Cook Principal Speaker
Before Conference of Southern
Methodist Church in Session at
the Mount Vernon Edifice, which
VIII he Concluded Tonight.

DR. E F. Cook, educational secretary
OF the board of missions. was the prin-
cipal speaker at the Mount Vernon Place
NJ. E Church last evening on the occa-
sion OF the annual mission session Of the
conference of the Southern Methodist
church.
DR.. Cook said that ten years ago the
church let pass her supreme opportunity
to ChrStianize Japan, because the Amer
leans did not understand and did not
provide the necessary men and money
when the japanese were in a receptive
mood, and to-day the battle ground has
shifted from those beautiful islands and
the japanese have declined into a con-
dition of imperialism, agnosticism, and
skepticism that has hardened the heart
of the nation, and for the time being it
is lost to Christianity.

Of centuries The ability to read the
signs of the times and to adjust the prob
lens of the church to them is the great
task that is occupying the intelligence of
its officers to-day. In his opinion the time
has come when every business man in the
church should be aroused to his respon-
sibilities. and for this reason the great
laymens movement has been sweeping
over the land We need the business ex-
perience of business men-the success of
successful men.
Rev. c. D. Harris, president of the
board Of missions. presided over the
meeting the attendance at which COM
