4 PHILIPPINE CONFESSION.

The suggestion has been made that
q commission should be sent to the
Philippines to investigate the condi-
lions report to congress on the
advisability Of making any declaration
or taking any immediate action with
reference to the independence Of the
islands. The suggestion seems like
a good one. All sorts Of opinions have
been expressed as to what should be
done. Many men have Investigated,
and some have reported. but Of all
who have visited the islands and re-
turned we have heard from no per-
o who took time and had oppor-
tunity to investigate thoroughly, who
was Of such known and conspicuous
standing that he might be accepted az
a competent witness, OF who had not
some political affiliations which might
leave his findings open to some sus-
picion.
It ought to be possible to hnd a
company Of. say. five men In this
country who would Immediately be
recognized as able. fair and unpre-
JuOlCeos WHO COulQ Dc selected IN
such a way as to give proper epre-
s%entation to each political party. and
who. after a thorough Investigation
of the conditions, could return a ver-
dict which would be accepted by the
people at large as authoritative, and
a settlement Of the question. Mr..
Bryan has visited the Philippines, and
undoubtedly he has read about them.
He has ideas as to what should be
done. But Mr.. Bryan's stay there was
q short one. he was able to make
no general Investigation. President
Taft is thoroughly familiar with the
subject, but his connection with pres.
en n past administrations would
preclude the acceptance of his opin-
ions with the unanimity to be desired.
But it should be possible to find men
who could and would act, and whose
report would put a stop to a lot Of
loose talk by a lot Of people who
know nothing whatever about the sub.
ject.

Lord, which is His sign between Him

changed by man from the seventh to

dishonoring Gods command, because
going to church two or three times on
Sunday, while street car or trainmen
must work all day TO haul others to
and from church, is not rest, We now
ask congress to make Saturday, which
is the Sabbath of the Lord, national
legal day OF rest and with Gods bless
ing and our modern labor-saving ma
chinery we can we'll afford to go on
to perfection in Sunday school and
work or worship the first day of the
week in and for the church and king
dom OF God. This is Gods rest for all
who labor that will bring many to
Christ and fulfill the mission of His
church and kingdom without force or
interfering with any mans manner of

MANY IN PANIC
AS STABLES BURN
Hartford and Warren Streets
Residents Forced to Flee
from Homes.

Occupants of a dozen houses in
Hartford and Warren streets, between
Hudson street and Morris avenue,
were driven into the street early yes
terday morning by fire which was
fiercely burning among sever u stables
in their midst. Three horses were
burned to death and approximately
$4,000 damage was caused before the
fire department succeeded in extin-
gushing the flames.
The burned structures were made of
wood and the fire gained great head
way before it was discovered. The
position of the burning barns, sur
rounded by houses of frame construc-
ton, heightened the danger and made
difficult the work of the fire-hght-
ers. Half-clad men, women and chill
dren rushed to the street, and for n
time the scene was a Bedlam.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but 1t is believed to have started in
the stable of Hyman Demel, in the
rear Of 81 Hartford street. Two horses
were burned to death in this stable
and the building was burned to the
ground. Another horse in a stable
in the rear of So Hartford street, De-
longing to James Brennan was
burned. The flames from the stables
ignited the rear of the houses on both
Hartford and Warren streets.
Besides the barns, other places dam
aged were the factory of the German
Manufacturing Company, adjoining
the Brennan stable, and the apart
ments of James " Rowe and Charles
Quintzel, 81 Hartford street; Joseph

French from Newport two years ago,
Happy jack Geraghty, chauffeur,
today has seen his mother-inlaw,
Mrs. Amos Tuck French, who is lying
injured in the Hotel Touraine, as the
result of an automobile accident at
Milton yesterday.
Mrs. Stuyvesant Leroy, mother of
Mrs. French, who was in the car,
sustained serious injuries, and is also
at the hotel.
When the members of the family
were summoned from Newport, New

was sent to the Geraghtys in Wo-

of them as a family. Happy jack
and his wife came in by automobile,
