"A MAN may go along for years

Unti he thinks that he has reached

When all at once from out the sky
That seems without a speck
A bolt OF lightning is let fly
That hits him on the NECK.
He thinks the business could not run
Without his aid and care,
That everything would so to smash
II he were not right there,
And as he settles there for life,
A fixture there TO sit.
The boss unfeeling, comes along
And grouchily says, Git
A man may figure that he has
A snap nailed down and tied,
From which he could not with a bar

Decision.

Washington, D. C.-Weeks, months
or possibly years might roll by be-
fore the supreme court would act fl
nally should Harry X. Thaw appeal
from the habeas corpus proceedings
now pending in New Hampshire. or
late, however, the court has disposed
of such important cases quickly.
Whether an appeal to the supreme
court from the action of Judge AL
drich, federal district judge IT, New
Hampshire, before whom the habeas
corpus proceedings were brought may
be granted will rest entirely. it is said.
with Judge Aldrich himself.
An immediate appeal could not be
acted upon by the supreme court be-
fore October 10, at the earliest, be-
cause the court will not convene, un'
der law, before that date. There are
now more than 700 cases awaiting dis
position there and it will take the
court more than two years to pass
upon them.

MAY DELAY CURRENCY BILL
Debate viii Continue Several Weeks
After the Committee Reports
in October.

Washington-pres Wilson has
the keys to the situation on currency
legislation. He intends to make every
endeavor to obtain early action in the
Senate. Despite the Presidents in
sistence for speeding up on tire meas
ure, prospects for its enactment
before the beginning of the next ses-
sion were remote. Both houses were
practically in recessA A quorum of
the Senate is not expected for a week
at least.
Not before the middle OF October
can the Senate banking committee re-
port the Glass owens bill to the Sen
ate, legislative leaders predicted.
Weary weeks of debate in the com
mittee and afterwards in the Senate
are almost certain to ensue before the
measure can be passed. With the bill
as passed by the House before it,
hearings continued before a minority
of the Senate banking committee, such
scant interest is taken in these pro-
eeedings that only five senators are
attending. OF a score of witnesses
summoned, only a half dozen have
been heard

The Administration Currency Measure
Went Through Practically
Without Change.

Washington - The administration
Currency Bill was passed by the
House by vote of 2S6 to "a, practic-

visions.
After much parliamentary jockey
ing Progressive Leader Murdoch sue
ceeded in forcing a roll call on The
motion to recommit, and that dis
closed vote of 266 to 100 against it..
The final vote brought a number of
Republicans to the support of the ad
ministration measure. Twenty-fcur
Republicans voted for the bill and
three Democrats voted against It, A
final fight on an amendment reaffirm-
ing the present financial policy of a
gold money standard caused some
OBJECTIONS from the Democratic side.
A burst of applause greeted the pass
age of the bill. The three Democrats
who voted against it were Representa-
tive Galloway of Texas, Elder of Lou
isiana and Witherspoon of Mississippi.

objections of his attorneys to the pro-
ceedings are overruled.
This statement came from an abso-

whether either of them would testify.

story of the alleged conspiracy, which
he insists brought about his impeach-
ment

BOYS AND GIRLS BOUGHT AND
SOLD LIKE CATTLE IN PHILIP
PINE ISLANDS.
REPORTED TO WASHINGTON
Auditor for the Islands Confirms Start
ling Charges Made by Dean Wor-
cester-Secrecy Is
Maintained.

Washington, d. C.-Secretary Gar
rison had before him recently Phil
ippine slavery report by W. H. Phipps.
auditor for the islands, practically
backing up the startling charges of
Dean Worcester. 1t cites details of
many cases of boys and girls sold into
slavery at prices ranging from $50 to
800, and declares that heads of saw
age families sell their daughters and
regard the practice as their right,
The Phipps report is based upon in
vestigations conducted under the di-
rection of the Philippine auditor, by
district auditors. 1t was accompanied
by list of names of sixty-seven per-
sons held as slaves, some being held
outright and some under the so-called
debt" system, the fallacy of which is
shown by the fact that some of the
slaves so held are more than 60 years
old and have been held by their pres
ent owners since birth.
THE almost universal report made
to me by each person who has been
asked to investigate" wrote Mr.
Phipps, was that slavery in some
form existed to his personal knowl-
! edge, in form of peonage, which is
the most extensive form of slavery
practiced here; with many others it
will be noted it is the barter and sale
of human beings by one person to an
other who holds such person so sold
! to him in absolute subjugation. and
they perform duties and labor for him
without compensation further than
scanty clothing and in many instances
Indifferent food"
My observation has been that the
largest percentage of real slavery
exists in those provinces adjacent to
or in part inhabited by hill tribes, or
so-called n-Christians. l myself
have known of seven instances where
| children have been purchased from
| the hill tribes and believe that house

| the well-to-do classes of Filipinos and
a proper inquiry into their status, will
show that a large number of them are
actually owned, having been acquired
by purchase.
Some of these are old men and
women who have been the property
of some family since childhood.
There is a considerable traffic in

ipino wives actually bought them at a

which was offered boys and girls for
the small amount of 20 pesos, 30 pesos
and 40 pesos was in August of last
year at Cebu. Peonage exists in all
parts of the islands and in many in
stances amounts to slavery
Another district auditor said he was
reliably informed every Negrito serv
ant in his district was originally en-
shaved.

HIGH COURT OF IMPEACHMENT
FORMALLY ASSEMBLIES AT
NEW Works. CAPITAL.
RULES FOR TRIAL ALL READY
Committee Completed Its Work in
Short order--Senators Right to
Sit as Judge and Prose-
cutor Questioned.

Albany, N. Y.-For the first time
in the history of New York state, and
for only the eighth time in the his
tory OF the country, chief executive
faced trial for high crimes and mis-
demeanors" when a majority of the
state senate and a majority of the
court of appeals opened their sittings
as high court of impeachment with
Chief Judge Edgar NJ. Cullen presid
ing.
After taking the oath to try i'm
partially and fairly the case before
the court the judges and senators en-
tered into a discussion of rules for
the conduct of the trial There are
no precedents in New York state for
the trial of a governor and the only
guide the court has is the consti<u-
ton of the state, presidents estab-
lished in other states and the records
of federal impeachments. Therefore,
the court must thresh out the ques-
ton of rules to govern the conduct
of the trial before it can get down to
called into being.
The assembly board of managers,
OF which Aaron j. Levy, majority lead
er of the assembly, is chairman, is
fully prepared to proceed with the pre-
sentation of the evidence, TO be made
by special counsel.
With Sulzer on trial the battle be-
tween New Yorks Peoples COVER
nor" and Tammany Hall, the political
organization that made him, and is
now setting out to break him, Will
near its end. 1t is<a political quarrel
that will go down in history.
Senator Wagner, Senator Elon e.
Brown, the Republican leader, and
Judge William Bartlett of the court
of appeals, the committee appointed
to draft the rules of procedure, had
practically completed their work.
Apart from the adoption of these
rules interest in the proceedings was
focused on the expected legal battle
over the right of the challenged SEN
ators to sit as members of the court.
The defense contends that the mem
bers of the Frawley committee, hav-
ing uncovered the evidence against
the governor, should not be permitted
to assume the dual role of prosecutor
and judge. Although Senator Brown
is a member OF the committee, no OBJ
lection was urged against him, as he
did not participate in the committees
activities.
Scores OF witnesses are under sub,
poena to testify. At least fifty win be
called to establish the case of the
prosecution, the managers assert, and
it is believed that as many will be
called by the defense. Whether Gov
ernor Sulzer would be put on the
stand in his own defense and whether
his wife, who is reported to be able
to explain many of the governors
| questioned stock transactions in Wal
Street, will be called as a witness

counsel still refused to divulge.
