LOST SOLDIER NOW WILD MAN.
In Ten Years Isolation Arthur Brit
ton Loses Nearly All Semblance
of Human Being.

(Poughkeepsie Dispatch to New York
Herald.)
Almost nude, his head and face COW
cred with hair and armed with club
and barking like a fox, Arthur Brit
ton, 40 years old, who has been miss
ing more than ten years, was found
today living in cave in the Pawling
mountains. He was committed to the
Hudson river state hospital this af-
ternoon and the physicians there say
he has reverted into veritable wild
man. :t%!
Britton, because of his isolated life,
has almost lost the power of speech.
His mind is shattered, and although
he is thin he possesses the. muscular
strength of giant.
He lived in hole in the rocks in
the side of the mountains, and it re-
quired four hours work to induce him
to come out 1t was the calling of his
brother, Irving Britton, that at last
induced him to appear. Then captors
fell upon him and bound him with
ropes.
Britton's mind became affected
while serving in the Philippines in the
Spanish-American war. Soon after he
returned to Pawling, after the war,
and began to wander into the woods
and camp out. Later he would stay
away several days at time. Event
ually he made his home in the open
and seldom returned home. Ten years
ago his family lost all trace of him.
Five years ago the mountain resi-
dents began to tell stories of seeing
wild man in the woods and fields.
The story circulated through the
whole region, but no attempt was
made to make captive of him because
the residents were afraid. The man,
they said, raced through the under
brush and barked like fox. At times
they said, he climbed tall trees.
Britton's family finally heard of
the wild man, and Irving Brtton went
into the mountains to investigate. He
trailed him to his cave and there iden-
titled him. He carried food to the cave
dweller and enlisted the aid of Justice
Davis. Deputy sheriffs made several
trips into the mountains to capture
the wild man, but day after day he
eluded them.
Justice Davis sent for Sheriff Town
send and Under Sheriff Hornbeck and
today, accompanied by DIR. Merriman
of the Hudson river State hospital,
who is hypnotist, he went to the
cave. The entrance to the cave was
only three feet wide and piled in front
of it were powders. A dugout further

BALKAN BENEFIT TONIGHT.

Everything is looking well for the
Balkan benefit concert at the Salt Lake
Tabernacle tonight, The idea Of Colonel
Irons has taken hold OF this com.
munity in enthusiastic form, and
everyone is in thorough sympathy with
the purpose Of this concert, which is TO
extend help to the sufferers in the Bal
kans by the crueIties Of tho war and
the ravages of disease.
Besides this, the concert itself will
be perhaps the finest ever given in this
city. Musical artists Of the highest
standing are rallying to the support Of
the cause and Offering their services in
a style that is tine to see; go that those
who attend this concert will be at the
same time helping those in the Balkans
who have great need, and they will
also hear concert of unusual charm,
variety, and excellence, at q price far
below that which they would ordinarily
have to pay for such a musical treat.
We bespeak the thorough interest Of
all the people in Salt Lnko to this con-
cert, and their support for the cause
to which the proceeds from it will be
applied.

THE MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN.

The hot campaign which is OH FOR
the increase of the membership of the
Commercial Club so as to run it up to
2000, is on its whirlwind wind-up. From
what we hear of the enthusiasm and
interest displayed By those engaged in
this campaign, and Judging by the large
embership present at noon yesterday,
the committee will undoubtedly exceed
their limitation and will run the mem
bership up to more than the 1000 mark.
The campaign closes December 18th,
and the membership committee is put.
ting in its best efforts and the mem
bers of it are using their own time
freely aud enthusiastically TO bring
about the desired boost in mem bership;
and their campaign is most effective
one.
There are still, surprising as il may
be TO say it, good many business men
In Salt Lake City, aud some of these
large property owners, who ought to
be, and are, interested IN the building
up of the city, and the State, who thus
far have refrained from joining the
club. There ought to be no more hesi-
tation ON the part OF these citizens
for now ls the time to come to the front,
and for every one to do his part. The
development campaign being carried on
by this club for the upbuilding of the
city and State should be supported by
every business man and property owner.
The Commercial Club is not organized
for any personal or selfish purpose, but
for public service in the development
OF the business of this community, and
is devoting it's strenuous efforts to that
purpose, and to the development Of the
States resources along lines Of mining, |
manufactures, farming, and
other enterprises that deserve the sup
port oil every citizen.
We join in the hope of the member.
ship committee, and of the membership |
of the club itself, that when the final |
count closes the number enrolled will |
exceed all expectations; and that the |
hesitating business men who are not
now members viii turn in their appli-
cations without delay. There is no need

STIMSoN AND FILIPINos.

gramme of releasing the Philippines

ditions that we have created in that
archipelago Of the Orient lie points
out the immense progress made in the
Philippines during the fourteen years
OF American occupancy, and declares
that there is no other instance in his

entire alien race have been given so
soon, not merely the form or civil con.
| troll, but immediate and extensive par
ticipation in their government. lie eu-
| logizes the progress made in the Phil
ippines, and points out in detail where
III this progress consists; and yet he
shows that in all this progress and with
all Of our good work, The regeneration
Of the Flipinos has just begun. Half
Of the children born in Manila die in
infancy. and a million children are
without schools; tho old system of pc.
onage is still accepted by the masses,
who unless protected by Americans
would fall ready victims to the rich
and educated Philippine minority. He
points out that unless the American
policy is continued until its work is
completed, and the whole people re-
generated, all proposals for independ-
ence are pleas for national recresncy
on our part and for the population
OF the heavy and difficult burden
that we have thus far been bravely and
consistently sustaining. Even more is
it unjust to the great masses of the
Philippine people in whose behalf the
high-sounding slogans of "liberty'' and
Independence are shouted "After
having been for centuries sunk in ip-
norance and held in economic subiec.
tion," says the Secretary, "thcy are
now being aroused to self-supporting
manhood and being welded into national
solidarity. Along this line, and along
this line alone, lies the true port of
liberty and independence.
There is no question but Secretary
Stlmson is absolutely right in this mat
ter; and the United States would show
recalcitrapcy unworthy OF its high |
record and cowardice which it has
no right to exhibit and which it is not |
prone to exhibit, should it shirl1 IN
this matter. Until the Filipinos are |
made one people and are brought up |
to the proper standard of self-govcrn-
ing capacity, the United States would
be recreant to it's plain duty if il should
abandon the high task that it has I'M
iertaken in their behalf.

CONDITIONS IN MEXICO.

1t would appear from the urgent
news from Mexico that that country
Is IN greater distress by reason Of the
lnsurrection than had been supposed
Ihe absence Of stirring news of fight
ing Tor some time past had lead the
American public to believe that the
Madero government was getting the
mastery, aud would soon have the
country quieted; but when we are told
IN Mexico that conditions are so had
that something more than human
agencies are necessary to relieve the
trouble, and that special mass is
ordered in every Catholic church in
Mexico, and when the Pope is urged

lions, ia is evident that there is a
critical condition in Mexico that has
heretofore been unsupported.
1t is claimed that rebels are active
throughout the country, and that there
is little disposition in official circles to
pelttle the movement in the north
under Orozco, Campos, and Mariana,
and the rebel activities on the Pacific
coast and in Oaxaca under Zapata.
In fact it appears that tho whole
country is honey combed with insar.
rectlon, and that there is little hone
OF the Maderan government being able
to restore peace and order,
In view Of this distressing situa.
tion, 1t appears more and more evident
that our true course at the time that
President Taft assembled tho mobile
Division of our troops on the Mexican
border would have been to place those
troops at the disposal Of President
Dlaz, so as TO have put down insur-
rection from the first, and maintain
the Diaz supremacy, with the good re-
suits that accompanied that supremacy
from the FIRST. Diaz for many wears
prevented Instructions and trouble
and held the country in his firm grin
for peace and order. It is clear that

religious and moral influences that can
