ANNOUNCES BILL TO GIVE
FREEDOM TO PHILIPPINES

WASHINGTON. June 4.-Chairman
Jones, of the House Insular Affairs
Committee, announced to-day he
would call his committee together
next week to frame a bill, to be re-
ported on the first day of the next
session. to grant independence to the
Philippine Islands. President Wilson
still believes early action on this Is
necessary.
Jones declared to-day it was posi-
BILE that the bill might pass the House
at the present session, the Democratic
caucus rule which restricts general
LEGISLATION of the session to currency
and tariff being subject to amend
ment at a separate caucus.
He declined to disclose the result of
a conference he had with the PreSi-
dent on this subject several days ago,
but it was learned that the President
asserted he was fully in sympathy
with the principles Of the Philippine
bill which passed the house some time
ago and which granted full independ-
ence to the Philippines after a period
of eight years and qualified independ-
ence in the interim.
INDEPENDENCE for the Philippines,
said Jones to-day, would eliminate
the chance of war between the United
States and Japan. With the Philip
pines neutral territory. the Japanese
would be less liable to rush into COM
bat. They know that as long as the
Philippines are in the possession of
the United States, we would be under
a handicap"
1t was declared, however, that
House Republicans would fight the
Philippine measure.
1T would be a crime to surrender
the islands" said Representative
Kahn. of California, THE Filipinos
who assisted us in the war with the
reVolutionists might meet terrible
fate. 1t is not long ago that they
buried men alive in the Philippines"
Representative Shirley of Ken
lucky, is one of the Democrats of the
House who is opposed to early free-
dom for the islands. He argued
against hasty and ill-advised action
on this question.
Il am in favor of Filipino independ-
ence," Representative Kinkead, of
New Jersey. Democrat, said, but
am not prepared to indorse all of the
features Of the Jones bill"
This is a very grave matter" said
Senator Hitchcock, chairman of the
Senate Philippine Committee, "and
one which we must consider care
fully before legislation giving the
islanders Independence is enacted"
Senator Lane. also Democrat,
stated: 81 am for giving the Filipino3
their liberty and i am willing to vote
upon the matter at any time my col
leagues get together
Although l have not talked the
matter over with Chairman Hitch
cock" said Senator Fletcher. ranking
Democratic member of the commit
tee, at seems more than probable
that extended hearings will be held on
this question. We have assumed the
guardianship of the Filipinos and we
must look out for the future welfare
of the islands"

.SUFFRAGETTE is INJURED
BY BRITISH KINGS HORSE

EPSON. ENGLAND, June A
militant suffragette attempted 10
break up the great Derby at EPSON
Downs to-day and nearly succeeded,
with a tragical result.
Just as the horses were rounding
Tattenheim corner a woman rushed
from the side lines and seized the
bride of Anmer, a horse owned by
King George Anmer crashed heavily
to the ground; hurting the jockey over
his head The woman was thrown
beneath the hoofs of the plunging
The thousands who saw the mis'l1ap
were thrilled and shocked. 1t hap
pened with lightning suddenness.
The woman spectator had crowded
to a point as near the horses as she
could possibly get. Several of the
runners had flashed by, when she
darted from the crowd. Anmer
gwerved as she jumped for the reins,
but she managed to secure firm
grasp upon them.
AS she fell a mighty shout went up
from the grandstand and paddock.
When the horse staggered to its feet
women near the scene tainted at the
sight of the two still forms.
The woman was identified as Emily
Wilding Davidson, B. A., of London
University, who has a police record
in connection with suffrage violence.
1t was she who assaulted and Sc
riously injured an aged clergyman
last year when she mistook him for
David Lloyd George, Chancellor Of
the British Exchequer
The woman was taken to the hos
pital in a dying condition. 1t was
first reported that she was dead. When
doctors reached her side she was APP
parently lifeless, but strong restora-
tives were. supplied and she rallied.
1t was said, however, that she could
hardly survive the injuries.

SAYS NATION MUST LOOK
TO SOUTH FOR ITS MEAT

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June At
is TO the South that the nation must
look for restoration of its meat sup
ply according to the department OF
agriculture.
THE South has great possibilities
for the future as cattle raising cOun-
try, says a bulletin issued by the
department.
Development of the cattle raising
industry in the South, however, must
await the determination of the cat
tie tick. Fortunately this is being
rapidly accomplished by the joint eff
forts of the Government and the
States. The time has come when we
must conserve our meat supply and
take steps to increase it, and at the
present Temunerative prices for food
animals it is probable that this Will
be gradually accomplished.
"The shortage in the supply of
meat producing animals in the I'm
tied States is steadily becoming more
pronounced, and it is evident that
the country is facing an era of short
production of meat. In the last six
years there has been decline of over
thirty per cent. in the number of
beef cattle in the country, while the
population and the consequent de-
mand for meat has increased.
"The beef cattle in the country on
Jan. l, 1907, numbered 51,566, 900; at
the beginning of the present year the
number was only 96,O90.00o. High
prices were paid last year. For in
stance native steers brought s7.95 in
Chicago, as against $3.50 the year
before. We no longer have cattle for
export and for the first time in our
history the United States imported
more in 1912 than ii exported"

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Chairman
Adamson, of the House Interstate

to-day, to frame a bill for uniform

Losses by the producers in sam
ping. lack of uniformity in railroad
regulations governing baling and lack
of uniformity in tare charges are
among the abuses which the proposed
legislation is designed to correct.

provide for a set of team trophies, par
ticularly one for the track and field
events. 1t has been a source of annoy
ance to this country that the nation
holding the games should be permitted
to add to the program lot of events in
which visiting teams could not compete,
and with the add of points scored in
them to claim the international cham
pionships. although boadly outscored in
the track and field events, which make
up the real Olympic program. At Lon
don in 1908 and at Stockholm in 1912 the
United States easily won the standard
Olympic events, but on account of the
points won by the two countries men,
toned at their respective meets before
the arrival and after the departure of
the American team the Americans could
not claim the point championship. What
the Americans want is a provision by
which these extra events shall not count
in the team score.
Another point which everybody hopes
Will be cleared up is uniform definition
for an amateur. Every team which COM
peted at Stockholm last year contained
men who. according to the definition OF
an amateur in track and field athletics.
was an out-and-out professional. This
was particularly true in the shooting
events. Some persons do not think 1t fair
that there should be one definition of an
amateur for tract. sports. another for
tennis and quite another for revolver and
trap shooting. If the commission adjusts
all the inconsist encies placed before ii 1T
will have achieved wonderful success.
Whatever the convention accomplishes
will be due largely to the United States.
This country has been insisting for a long
time upon the necessity of such action.
The international council has not acted
on these suggestions. but has let it be
known that the present conference has its
approval and If its findings are approved
they will probably be made part of the
Olympic code.

Cold Comfort.

From the Atlantic Monthly.
For those of us who are forced to spend
most of our summers in cities there are
a few consoling thoughts. One is that the
severest heat does not prompt men to
crime AS the social statiSticianS have
found that the severest cold does.
Another is that the worst temperature
we are called upon to face falls long
Way short Of the endurance limit of the
human body and brain. as proved by
French experiments at the 2JO degree
level Another comes from the discovery
through the newspapers, with every pro-
Ionged hot wave. that we are breaking
rhe record in some line or other. This
ought 10 be a stimulus to our pride. and
If we wish 10 carry further the benefi-
cent influence of mental suggestion. all
we need to do is to compare what is
bannenjng To us with what mas happened
to various other peoples at various other
times For instance. when the encyclo-
pedias tell US that in A. ID. G2I the heat
in France and Germany dried the water
sources and a multitude OF people died of
thirst. that in the battle of Bella, in 1900

car line on Delaney street. They had
despaired Of bringing about this reform,
but at their last meeting were amazed
to receive communication from the New

after September l there would be no
more horse cars on that street.
In the exuberance Of their feelings the
members OF the association with the long

that Tom and Jerry. the two oldest
horses on the line, should be pensioned
From now until they die they are to live

"Eugenic" Laws.
From the Chicago Journal.


When new idea comes into the world
the first act of many persons is TO throw
a brick at it; the next is to enact it into
law. They study tiff at all-some wears
later. when the new idea has grown old
enough to get into text books.
An example is found in the wild on
thusiasm of some people for what they
are pleased to call "eugenic laws" Few
of these enthusiasts know anything NJ
eugenics, but they all want a law ON tho
subject. They want laws prohibiting tho
marriage of men who get drunk, laws
for the permanent segregation of al, nor
sons with a faint of insanity in their
blood, and In one state they have secured
a statute providing for the STERILIZATION
of epileptics.
A very little knowledge shows the ah-
surdity OF this last proposition. Nano.
leon seems to have suffered somawhat
from epileptic spasms. and he played a
rather large part In the world. Mo-
manned was an epileptic; his earlier
''suras" or revelations were all given ont
during seizures which would be diagnosed
today as epileptic commissions. Yet MO-
manned has been called, not without
reason, the greatest example Of the in
dividual in all human history; and 900
10000 people guide their lives by nre-
cepts which half-baked reformers would
brush aside as the rawlings of disease.
