1t is claimed by Chilton's friends that
Watson has more votes than Me-
Graw. Chilton's friends, however,
are more friendly to Watson than to
McGraw. This may influence them
in counting McGraw short and both
Chiffon and Watson long.
Under existing conditions a COM
bination between Watson and Chill

pens. however, that Chilton's friends
declare that the fight for him as the
long-term senator will be waged to
the bitter end. 1t is not assumed
that Watson would be satisfied with
the two-year term. McGraw is an
astute politician. He has been quiet

greater than his enemies suppose.

Still, the talk Of a Watson-Chilton
combination is strong. All that can

questionable, bat the opinion is gain

8 MEN FOUGHT
LONDON POLICE
Six More Bodies Found In Ruins
Sunday

London. Jan. s.--That there were
eight or more desperate men, armed
with the most modern Of high power
automatic pistols. barrlcaded In the
sydney street house during last Tues
days battle with the police and Scots
guards, was proved Sunday when
searchers came across six additional
charred bodies in the ruins. Two
we're found Immediately after the
hattie.
In addition, the police found one
OF the most complete coming plants
they have ever seen outside the royal
mint. As many Of the dies we're for
foreign coins. the continental police
have been notified and an inter
change OF cables indicates 20 the
police that the men we're connected
with an international band Of coun
terfeiters.
Perhaps the most startling admis
sion OF the police, however. is thai
the dead men may have had no con
nectlon whatever with the recent
tragedy in Houndsditch. when thre'
unarmed policemen we're shot e
death BY band Of robbers engaged
in tunneilng their way into a lars
jewelry establishment
Il Is certain, however. from evi
dence obtained In the burned for
ltrcss, that the dead men we're con
nccted with the earlier Tottcnhan
outrage. with the notorious banl
robberies In Scotland, and With
number Of other daring crimes whicl
scotland Yard has been unable =
fathom.
That the men we're desperate for
elgh criminals there can be no doubt
but the belief Is lesscning that the
we're notorious anarchists. In spit
OF this. however, there are many Oh
Iclals connected with Scotland Var
who still maintain that the men wcr

.TAF 7 5 VIEWS
OF PHILIPPINES
Again Says Uncle Sam Must
Hold Island

Washington, Jan. 9.-Speaking
Saturday night at the annual dinner
at the New Willard of the Military
Order OF the Carabao, President Taft
declared his views once more on the
question of retaining the Philippines
by the United States. The presi-
dents utterances are calculated To
give small hope TO those who would
see the islands independent at an
early date.
The president declared that in his
Judgment the United States is likely
to retain the islands for consider
able time.
This Is consistent with the posi-
tion the president has all along
taken and consistent with the posi-
tion taken By former President
Roosevelt, that the islands should re-
main In possession OF this country
until fitted for seif-goyernment.
Mr.. Taft in the course of his
speech said:
"If We desert the Philippines now
they are our waris-and run away
from the trust given Us By fate. We
shall be towards. / am willing 70

do so ifonorably. rBut We cannot do
