START COCKPITS
ON STEAMSHIPS

MANILA, January l5.-True to the
Call of the East" the band Of Fill.
pno musicians who we're engaged for
the Pacific Mail liner Manchuria by
Mr.. Schwerin, arrived on the Rubi
yesterday, convinced that the Philip
pines are the only country in the
world worth while.
When Mr.. Schwerin instituted the
Filipino band experiment. he never
dreamed that he would have a CON
crete example Of the Philippine labor
problem on his hands From a mus
ical standpoint these bands proved an
instantaneous success, but, alas, FIJI.
ipino musicians we're never meant to
be sailors, so they say.
L. has been suggested that if the
Pacific Mail Steamship company
would install cockpit, a monte game
and special deck for the accommoda
ton Of the better halves Of the mem
bers of the orchestra, on board its
steamers, Few OF the native sons OF
Orpheus might be induced to remain
on board for more than one trip. 9th
erwise it looks as if the 'Filipino or
chestra' would have to be relegated t,
the already well-stocked shelf of Fill.
Pine Labor disappointments.
However, the local agents for the
company will try again, and will sent
another band to Hongkong to NEE
the Manchuria, before she leaves OIL
her homeward voyage.
The company furnished each must
clan with a fine uniform before they
left Manila, and the agents had con
siderable trouble in getting them back
the musicians claiming that they wert
entitled to them.

CLEANED UP THE TOWN.
American Lieutenant Gives San Pedro
Community a Lesson.

Puerto Cortez, Feb. 2O.-Via New Or
leans, Feb. 21.-Details of the house
cleaning given to San Pedro by Lieu
tenant Roper and the blue Jackets
from the United State gunboat Tacoma
were received here today. 1t is the
custom when any public work is to be
done in Central America to make an
official announcement" The an
nouncement is made by an official an
nouncer who used the military band 20
draw crowd. Lieutenant Roper want
ed to make a proclamation but discov-
cred the town band had deserted A
bass drum and a cornet had been left
behind so he sent his blue jackets
around to drum up a crowd and pro-
claim the news.
Three days later San Pedro began to
change. The Jail was the dirtiest place
of all The one hundred prisoners were
cooped up in three cells almost ankle
deep in filth. Roper put them to work
every morning cleaning up. He posted
his men about the Jail and turned out
the prisoners for an airing. General
iras, governor of the department,
when he evacuated the town left no
records and there was no means of
telling what the prisoners were in jail
for or for how long. Roper explained
the situation to Rosales who obtained
authority from President Davila to re-
lease all political prisoners.
With the aid of the city officials and
citizens representing both sides. the
naval officers at the end of two weeks,
had weeded out As prisoners who We're
liberated. Few appeared to know Why
they had been arrested.

Carpenters Putting Another Story on
Pocantico Hills Structure.

Tarrytown. N. Y, Feb. PA squad
of carpenters and artisans is busily en-
gagged in adding another story to the
Pocantico Hills home of John D. Rookie
teller. The structure will be seven
stories high after the improvements
are made. The so rooms in the dwell
ing proved insufficient, so the time that
Rockefeller is in the south Is being
utilized to make the enlargement.
The Rockefeller home was first occu-
pied by the family in August, 1909, just
seven years after their former Pecan
tico residence burned. The new build
ing is on the highest point of the es-
tate, 500 feet above the sea level, over
looking the Hudson river.
From an observation tower, West
Point is plainly visible to the north and
the towering buildings of down town
New York to the south On one side the
home is surrounded by sunken garden,
on another is the private golf links OF
Mr.. Rockefeller. In the basement is an
apartment fitted up as mooei golI
club, from which there is a private en-
trance to the links.

NO FLOATING DEBT.
Topeka School Board Has ''Caught Up
With Hounds

Topeka school warrants are no longer
stamped mot paid for want of funds The
floating debt of the school board which
has long been disgrace to the city has
been wiped out.
President S. A. SwendSon when asked
with reference to this fact today said:
ITO all the taxpayers and the people of
the city, who are cogniZant of and ia
miliar with the fact that for many years,
large interest-bearing floating debt, it is
source of felicitation and congratulation,
that at this time, such Indebtedness has
been entirely wiped out, and that today.
as shown by the records of the clerk and
treasurer, there is not dollar of interest
bearing warrants outstanding and unpaid
for want of funds; and to those of US,
who as members of the school board,
have contributed even ever SO little
toward the shaping of the financial af-
fairs and policies of our schools, thus
aiding in accomplishing such ends and
results this is a matter of which we are
justifiably proud and contemplate with
congratulations to the taxpayers and peo-
pie of the city on the prevalence of this
condition.
THAT such conditions and results have
been attained, impels US as members of
the board, to still further and greater ac-
handling the school funds, that the great
est possible real and true economy may
be accomplished, that all expenditures
may be kept within our estimates and
that the estimates and taxes may be kept
as reasonably low as possible, consistent
the high standard of our schools-alto-
gether constituting near approximation
of the real to the ideal, In the financial
condition of our schools.
