BURNS MSS. CHASED
ACROSS CONTINENT
Famous Glenriddell Relics Some
where in America, but Hunt
May Take Weeks.

London, Nov. 2O.-Just now the live
liest interest is being taken by the ad-
mirers OF Robert Burns in the fate of
the Glenriddell manuscripts and letters
formerly In possession of the Liverpool
Athenaum. Headed by the Lord Pro-
yost of Glasgow, many Scottish citi-
zens recently combined for the purpose
OF purchasing and securing relics for
Scotland, in spite Of the fact that they
are now in America.
Some months ago the trustees OF the
Liverpool Atheneum sent them TO
Sotheby's for sale by private negota-
ton. Joseph Hornstein, well known
book collector, paid Sotheby's a salts
factory sum. and in due course dis
patched the relics to his American
agent in New York. having in mind a
particular client interested in the
famous Burns manuscripts, but on
being approached by the Lord Provost
of Glasgow Mr.. Hornstein cabled his
agent TO withdraw the offer Of the
manuscripts, anu it tiip
situation rendered all the more diff
cult from the fact that the agent had
sent an emissary with the relics to find
the client. who was away from New
York-in fact, in the far West-he
sent out a special representative from
England. In the mean time the New
York agent had dispatched a man in
pursuit Of the bearer Of the precious
relics.
Seen yesterday. Mr.. Hornstein ex-
pressed hopefulness Of ultimate sue
cess in the chase. At the same time he
pointed out that as his client was on a
wandering expedition the tracks of
pursuers and pursued would be bew!l-
dering, and that even weeks might
elapse before definite tidings could
reach him.

No. SO, Not No. 7, Craven st.
rBv Cable to The Tribune.

London, Nov. 19.-After almost CEN
tury the Royal Society of Arts finds
that benjamin Franklin did not live at
No. I but at No. 36 Craven street,
Strand despite the fact that in 1919
tablet was put in front Of No. I. There
has been much agitation lately, be-
cause IL was feared that No. I Craven
street would be destroyed to make way
for a big hotel. and this probably
caused thorough Investigations to be
made.
During the various visits of Franklin
10 London between 1857 and 1175 he
stayed at the house OF Mrs. Mary
Stevenson, No. 7 Craven street. Until
lately everybody thought that Mrs.
Stevenson's house was identical with
the present No. I on the west side Of
the street, but Sir Lawrence CONNIE,
clerk of the London County Council,
has found that the name Of Margaret
stevenson figures in the Westminster
rate books as tenant Of house on the
east side of the street. two doors from
Craven Court, in the years l76l to III,
which house is now No. 80.
The Council Of the Society Of Arts
finds. moreover, that although the
present numbering OF Craven street
was in force in 1900 there had been
two systems Of numbering previous to
that time.

u. S. GOT HIS GOAT;
WISHES 1T HADN'T
Mr.. Mafuchali's AngOra Is Liv.
ing High at Government Ex-
pense in Quarantine.

For the last twenty eight days the Gus
tom House has had somebody's goat. Ac-
cording to the men of the law division, a
white elephant is nothing in the way of
ANNOYANCE compared with the tribulations
arising from the Angora nanny that was
wished upon the Treasury Department on
October % with the arrival Of the North
German Lloyd liner Berlin from Naples.
Thus far no loophole has been found in
the law that will enable the Secretary OF
the Treasury TO dispose OF his unwelcome
possession.
The goat, which is enjoying comfortable
keep at the animal quarantine station In
Athena, n. j., was brought here by An
tonic Mafuchali. cabin passenger on the
Berlin. He was told that his goat was in
the same class with aigrettes. which are
a prohibited importation. and was forced
to surrender IT.
Legal formalities concerning the dispo-
sitlon OF the animal were prolonged until
after the Berlin had sailed for Naples
ON November /. and unless decision is
reached before the next departure OF the
vessel from New York. on December g..
the goat may remain here indefinitely. as
no ono wants to destroy the animal

WIN DELAY FOR SCHMIDT
His Counsel Now Hope to Have
Sanity Commission.

The trial of the Rev. Hans Schmidt for
the murder OF Anna Aumuller. whose dis
membered body was found in the Hudson
River last September, was postponed yes
terday by Judge Foster in General Ses-
sions until Tuesday. w. NJ X. Olcott.
Terence j. McManus and Alphonse G.
Koelble, counsel for Schmidt, will present
afdavits to-day and argue for the ap-
pointment of two examiners to report as
to Schmldt's present mental condition.
Their intention is to have a Jury en-
panelled toi pass upon Schmidt's sanity
before putting him on trial for murder
Mr. Koelble said yesterday that several
persons had contributed to a fund for
Schmidt's defence. DR.. NJ. S. Gregory and
DR.. S. E. Jolliffe, who have examined
Schmidt for the defence. offered their
services without remuneration, Mr..
Koelble said.
Mr.. Olcott told the court yesterday that
DR.. Gregory and DR.. Jolliffe believed
Schmidt insane. Mr.. Oicott said he had
been unable to confer with Schmidt be-
cause OF his clients irrational notions. He
and Mr.. McManus believe that when
alienists differ as to the mentality of the
defendant and an application is made for
the appointment OF examiners. the court
is compelled to grant the application.
The application will be opposed by
James A Delehanty and Morris Koenig.
Assistant District Attorneys They be-
Iieve that the report made by DR.. William
Mabon, DR.. Carlos f. Macdonald, DR.. A.
Ross Diefendorf and Dr. George III. Kir-
by Is sucent proof of Schmidt's sanity.
They will point out that when Schmidt
was arraigned before the Coroner and
when he entered his plea in General Ses-
sions, he was accompanied by counsel
and that there seemed to be no difficulty
then between him and his counsel.

NATIONAL PARTY,
LABOR MEN DECIDE
American Federation Votes
Down Proposition on the
Ground Time Is NotRipe.
POLITICAL ACTIVITY
URGED AS NECLEUS
Election of Union Men Advocated
to Pave Way to Power of
Working Class.

Seattle, Nov 19.-That the time is not
ripe for the formation of a labor party.
but that trade unionists should look for
ward to increasing political activity, was
affirmed to-day as the position of the
American Federation of Labor. which
adopted by a vote Of 1873 to 10 a declara-
ton of principles as follows:
While political developments are en-
couragingly progressive and should be
continued and further developed in the
future. we believe that the time has not
arrived when with due regard for the
economic movement still young and
hopeful in organization, a distinct labor
political party should be formed.
1--WE are confident that when our pres
ent political activities have suitably ma
tured a new political party will be the
logical result-a party in which will be
amalgamated the reform and humani-
tartan forces which will represent and
stand for the protection and supremacy
Of human rights. giving legislative ex-
preston 70 the sound economic and po-
litical position that the producers OF
wealth are entitled TO their full share or
the value thereof, and as opposed 10 Il
party in which may be found the forces
representing and holding supreme the So
called rights Of property, and whose legis-
lative goal would be the guarantee OF
continuation of the system which puts the
dollar above humanity
I'VE are hopeful that in such a de-
vclopment there will be continued ana
greater activity 10 organize the unor-
ganized into their respective or new
unions. and that in their federated rela-
tonship general political activity will be
given constant and ever increasing atten-
ton. so that with the complete organiza-
ton Of labor in the economic field there
will be safer and greater opportunity for
the creation and formation of a political
labor party or a party pledged to the
conservation Of human rights. whatever
the partys name may be.
For the present we recommend con-
tnuation and development of labors nom
partisan political position, namely, that
the programme and policy declared by the
American Federation OF Labor is author
lied by its convention, through the ex-
ecutive council, and the organized workers
throughout tie country be reaftirmed, and
we urge that this programme and policy
be pursued in subsequent campaigns.
ITO our fellow workers and fellow cit
liens all over North America We also
urge that organized labor's slogan should
live in its deeds, stand faithfully by our
friends and oppose our enemies and
that members OF trade unions be nomi-
mated and elected municipal, county,
state, federal and Dominion officers.

HOLD THE ISLANDS,
IS TAFT PLEA
Continued from first page.

took a more intense interest, unless II
was the preservation OF our constitutional
form Of representative government and
the maintenance of an independent ju-
dietary as the bulwark of individual
rights under such a government. The
government Of the Philippine Islands, he
said, was under his control, either as
Secretary Of War or President, for thir-
teen years. from 1900 until March 4, 1913
During all that period he had studied
the problems and helped in formulating
and carrying out the governments poll
cies. Because of this he felt he knew his
subject thoroughly.
Mr. Taft said he would not discuss the
merits Of our taking the islands, that
having been thoroughly thrashed out in
the campaign OF 1900. The United States
to-day, he said. is confronted by a con-
crete problem as TO the welfare of a
people. and that We are dealing with the
Philippines as they are now, not as they
were in 1898.
To give his audience an opportunity Of
understanding the present conditions,
however, the ex-President said It would
be necessary TO go over the history Of
he islands. He told Of conditions con-
fronting the United States when the ISL
auds were taken over.
The Spanish friars, he said. incurred
the enmity of the natives by harsh
methods. and this eventually led TO sew
eral instructions against the authority
OF Spain, ending with the two led by
Aguinaldo, who sought to set up an in
dependent government.
New-York tribune., 1913-11-20
Many Dialects Spoken.


States took over the islands. he pointed
out conditions as they existed at that
time. Among the so-called civilized or
Christian Filipinos, about 100000 Of the
total population OF about 100000, the
number of persons who spoke Spanish
was TO 10 per cent, he said. There were
fifteen or sixteen dialects, and those who
could speak one dialect could not talk or
communicate with those who spoke an
other. There was very little literature.
In a single journey of l20 miles from
Manila, said Mr.. Taft he encountered
four different dialects. This was the con-
dition after nearly four hundred years of
Spanish control.
The census of 1909 showed, the former
President said. that only % per cent Of
the population over ten years old could
read or write any language, compared
with 90 per cent in the United States
Figures for women of the same age were
even smaller. In only three Of the islands
were newspapers printed so the great
majority of the people were out Of touch
with civilization or its progress.
To indicate the dense ignorance of the
Filipinos, Mr. Taft referred TO the fact
that religious takers could lnfame them
10 plunder and kill their fellows in other
parts of the islands. The old Spanish
cacique system. or local bossism, still
ranifests itself, ne said, the control Of
the cacique being so absolute that he
could use his followers In the guerilla
warfare.
f,r Lxls
ing that these things indicated an inabil-
ity on the part OF the Filipinos TO receive
education and 10 be made capable Of self
government. On the contrary the people
eagerly availed themselves of the educa-
tional facilities for their children afforded
by the United States government.
The educated classes Mr.. Taft said
we're not in sympathy with true democ-
racy. The great body Of the adult Fill
pinos to-day, he pointed out. STEPPED In
ignorance, did not know their own rights
under the government under which they
were living, and this made it difficult TO
maintain a government Of free civil lnstl-
tutions. 1t was because Of this condition,
Mr.. Taft said, that slavery and peonage
continued 10 exist in many parts of the
Philippines.
Refuse to Admit Slavery Exists.
This. he said lent support to the system
OF aristocracy or oligarchy that the ad-
vocates of independence secretly well
coined. The present National Assembly
of the Philippines had repeatedly refused
TO enact laws against peonage and slav-
cry. and the Filipinos gave as a reason
that TO enact such laws would be con-
fession that slavery existed in the Islands.
Such a confession would constitute a
! stain upon the people.
Mr. Taft then outlined the conditions Of

health between 1898 and 1900. and traced
