ON lNSULAR AFFAIRS
HOLDS IN REPORT CHARGES TO
CONTRARY ARE UNWARRANTED
MARTIN INSTITUTED PROBE.

Washington, D. G., March 3-The ad-
ministration of lands In the Philippine
Islands has been fairly and. honestly
conducted, and Charges and insinua-
tions to the contrary, directed against
officers either Of the Philippine gov
ernment or the government Of the
United States, are unwarranted and
unjust-this is the conclusion OF the
majority Of the house committee on
Insular Affairs, in its report of an ex-
haustive investigation of those mat
ters. made public toLay by the chair
man Of the committee, Representative
Olmsted, of Pennsylvania.
The report expressly exonerates w.
Cameron Forbes, governor general;
Charles H. Sleeper, director of lands;
Frank w. Carpenter, executive secre-
tary and Dean G. Worcester, secre-
tary of the interior of the Philippine
government, of any improprieties in
the management of tie Philippine
lands, and describes them as "able.
earnest, patriotic men, honestly per-
forming their duties under more or
less trying circumstances"
The report reviews at length the al
legged violations of laws governing the
sales of land and the issuance OF
leases, and lays it's principal stress up
on the intricate legal problem involved
in the question of the status of the So
called 'friar lands" which were pur-
chased by the Philippine government
from the religious orders, with funds
raised by a bond issue. Radical differ
ences of opinion have existed as to
whether these friar lands were gov

by the restrictions clearly imposed by
the organic law" Of the islands upon
transactions concerning the public or
crown lands purchased by, the United
States government from the govern
ment of Spain.
Lawfully obtain Only 40 Acres.
Representative Martin, of Colorado,
precipitated the investigation now re-
ported upon, by various charges made
on the floor of the house in the latter
part of the session Of 1909-10, in which
he alleged improper sales and leases
of the friar lands, especially to per-
sons who, he charged desired the land
for the benefit Of the so-called sugar
trust. And so, while the report under
takes to refute number of charges
connected with the sale and lease OF
lands in the islands, 1t is devoted
largely to discussion of transaction
by which one e. L. Poole bought Sc.
900 Of the 100000 acres of the friar
lands.
Representative Martin contended
that under the organic law of 1902,
which gave civil government to the
Philippine islands, and which definite
ly limited the amount of public" land
that might be sold to individuals and
to corporations, Pole could lawfully

20 TRAMPLED
TO DEATH IN
FAMINE RIOT
SCENE ENACTED
WHEN MISSIONARIES ATTEMPT
TO FEED STARVING CHINESE;
SITUATION UNUSUALLY GRAVE.

Hankrow, china, March 3.-Twenty-
one persons were trampled to death at
Sha-Hing, Hupeh province today
when horde Of starving Chinese
fought for the food which missionaries
were attempting to distribute. A
great many others were injured.
Today a considerable amount of food
stuff was received by the missionaries,
who Immediately planned a systematic
distribution. The work was hardly be-
gun when thousands of desperate
men women and children who had
learned that there was a chance OF
their hunger being half satisfied,
swooped down upon the supply depot.
A riot followed Each fought for
himself and the weaker went down
and were ruthlessly trampled, The
fighting continued as long as there ap-
peared to be anything to fight for.
The missionaries were helpless.
Hupeh province in Central China is
the scene of famine. the number OF
victims of which is so great that the
authorities do not attempt an esti-
mate Of the thousands that have al
ready perished. DR.. Samuel Cochran,
an American engaged in the work OF
relief, has written to Pekin saying
that 100000 persons will die before
the next crop is harvested. The pro-
vince has population of 33,OOO,O 900.
Bands of famished ones roam about
preying upon others fortunate enough
