able To take this matter up in tho
regular course of business, the Mich
igan senator did not know and declar.
ed that II might be forced into the
background by number of big issues
and so fail to get Il hearing for some
time. OF it's ultimately coming before
the Senate, Mr.. Townsend had no

favorable consideration.
Hancock residents are optimistic of
the ultimate passage of the bill

Proposed Bond Issue Illegal

Village Attorney Embs has thrown
Il bomb into the proposed bond issue
of $4,000 by Iron River To replensh
the depleted treasury and provide
funds for much needed municipal inn
provcments. He has given an opin-
ion that no such sum could be raised
by u bond issue. because of a statutory
provision limiting the bonded indebt-
Cdncss to two per cent of the total as
scssed valuation of all rsoperty The
assessed valuation of Iron River is APP
proXimately $l,7O0,0O0,' said Mr.. Embs
and two per cent would limit the
bond issue to approximately 100000
or Il little more. An equivalent amount
could he raised each year, basing the
amount Of the bonds on two per cent
IF the total assessed valuation each
year, but i'm no one annual issue could
a sum be raised by bonded loan in eX-
cess of two per cent OF the assessed
valuation The assessed valuation of
Iron River for 1913 is placed at ST.
S31,S1S, ana two per cent would allow
. bond issue of $36.636.3G, but this
amount is far short OF meeting the
needs of Iron River at this time.

REFUTES SLAVE
MARKET CHARGE
Milwaukee Man Ridicules Story
ofFormer Commissioner

Milwaukee, WIS. Aug. 2S.-Charges
by Dean c.. Worcester, commissioner
Of the Interior IN the Philippines that
iris We're bought and sold in slavery
N Manila, are ridicuicd by Dr John
X. McDill, thirteen years a resident Of
the Philippines The sensational
charges were made by Worcester to-
retain his office, which he realized was
about To- end said Dr McDill
Dr McDiu insists that the publicity
secured By Mr.. Worcester in his at
tack upon the Filipino character is on
~ a TART of his function during
the former administration Of misrep-
resentltion calculated to injure the
aspirations of the Filipino people.
Slavery or traffic in girls as stated
by Mr. Worcester" said IN McDilL
does not exist in the Philippines aa
such any more than in any large city
in this or amy other countries, where
everyone thut a parent, even "a moth
or, may part with "a daughter under
certain circumstances. 1t is true that
among The Moros. who are Mohamme-
dams. living i'm the Island of Mindunao.
who are not Filipinos in any sense Of
the word, thar slavery has always
been pravticed until interfered with
by the American military government
There are nearly 100000 Moros among
the 100000 population of the Philip
pines"
DR. McDill has a letter that covers
the charges of Dean Worcester quite
exhaustively The letter is from Man
mel l.. Quezon. resident commissioner
from the Philippines to Secretary Of
War Garrison, dated May 3, 1913. Sc
nor Quczon says in part:
IF there are negrito slaves held in
Manila as Secretary Worcester says in
his letter the condition is exceptional,
as it is abnormal and Illegal. and the
ncgritos SO enslaved should have been
liberated by the government through a
writ Of habeas corpus Mr.. Worcester
i'm his letter to the resident of the
Humane society has been guilty OF
falsely denouncing that there is slay-
cry in the territory inhabited by tn"
Cmistian Filipino people.
Worcester is Blamed.
IF there is slavery in the Philip
pine islands, the Philippine commits
sion, of which Dean Worcester is a
member is alone responsible for the
lack Of proper legislation to punish
this nhuman and savage crime and
the conGuct of Secretary Worcester
for blaming the assembly for a fault
that is mis- and his colleagues is UNI
spedkable."
Dean Worcester is probably the
most hated man in the Philippines
said DR.. McDill. He was removed
from office by the president.
ION account of representations made
To the president direct that MIR. Wor-
cester should not be allowed To retire
from Office with honor or as i'm the ma
tural order of party change, he was
summarily removed by executive ao-
tion about a month ago. This action
was on account of the extraordinary
hatred of the people of the islands for
this man"
Before his appointment to the com
mission he was a comparatively OBJ
scure man, holding the position of
curator of the museum of zoology in
the University of Michigan at a salary
of $1,000 year. His appointment to
