Floods and Lightning Making the

New York City was visited by a vio-

accompanied by torrential rain. All
over Manhattan sewers were unable
to carry off the great volume of sur

its level in cellars. More than one

Lightning hit in many spots, shat

were shocked but nobody was killed.
Many groups of persons who ran to

out by the floods that came in after
them. Some had to be rescud from
the quickly rising artificial lakes.

SON NOT CRITICISED
Former Governor General of the
Islands Won't Comment on
Administrations Course.


Roston. Nov. 80 W. Cameron
Forbes. of this city, who spent nine
wears in the Philippines as Governor
and Governor General, in an exhaust
i've interview upon the situation in the
islands declared:
~ will say nothing about President
Wilson or the circumstances OF my
resignation, or word that might be
taken as a criticism Of the administra-
tion. President Wilson and his Cab
met can work that out, and ] simply
:. for them TO so ahead and do it.
AS to conditions generally in the
philippines and the numerous charges
that are now being made, and which
have been more or less irresponsibly
made. am willing to give facts that
will need no argument and which are
known TO every man who has made
close study Of the political conditions
Of the islands and their inhabitants.
THE man who knows most about the
Philippines IS Dean c. Worcester. and
he more than any other one man, both
nv his wide general knowledge and
splendid intellect, has brought about
the conditions of peace and compsra-
tive prosperity that now exist. Any
thing that he says upon the islandsrs
founded on facts and is absolutely ac-
curate.'
rs there any slavery in the Philip
pines, as Mr.. Worcester has charged
Mr. Forbes was asked.
"Of course there is-plenty of it, and
there always has been. 1t is not
slavery in the sense Of being psrticu-
larly oppressive, and the natives do not
mind t. for they can go free whenever
they desire but still II is slavery in the
sense that men and women are bought
and sold and are not paid wages for
their work
This condition exists in every prov
ince and we have been unable to do
much with it because we have no laws
to punish slave dealers. and all that we
are able to do is TO point out TO a slave
that he or she need not remain in
bondage-that they are free 10 leave
whenever they want 10. Further than
that We cannot go.
Slavery is illegal in sense, no man
need remain as a slave. But we have
had no law which enables us to prose-
cute the slave dealers and thus break
up the practice.
There is, however. very little hard
chip from the very nature Of things. If
q slave be badly treated he can always
leave and the master cannot recapture
him.
1T is really more like an adoption.
Vhe family takes a native child and
tducates and brings up the child-usu-
ally far better than would otherwise be
'he case. But they do not pay wages.
snd perhaps the no-payment period
extends 10 more advanced age than
an American would be willing TO SUBJ
NIT to. But, then, they do receive
helr clothing and enough spending
