YONKERS REACHING OUT
Postoffice at Hastings Comes
Under It's Control.

Mutterings of suspicion against Ion-
kcrs's replitcd ambition for greater
wealth and power. which long have
been rife in Wcstchester County, broke
ont anew Yesterday with the news that
the rostofIice at Hastings Hudson
would become a sub-station of the Yon-
kers postutIice ON August !.
Hastings. along with Tarrytown, frv-
ington Dobb's Ferry. the two Ardsleys
and Mornt Hope, is part oe the wealthy
township OF Greenburgh. BY anneXing
the postofiice at Eastinu it is argued,
X would be an easy matter to take in
the other Villages. Greenburgh, taken
over h. Yonkers would make that
hustling city doubly great in wealth,
population and commercial possibili-
ties.
The Westchester experts do not stop
there. however. They next bring for
ward what they assert Is the well
known fact of Yonkers's leaning tow
ard annexation by New York Were
this To take place Manhattan then
would have devourcd the best portions
of Westohestcr, to the dsmay of other
ambitious townships.

SILENT IN MANY TONGUES
Police Linguists Fail to Find
Language for Girl.

While linguists Of all degrees and
abilities crowded the Alexander avenue
police station last night and bombardcd
her IN dozen different languages. a
pale. blond girl about twenty years old
sat i'm the guard room, 10 which she
had been taken from a Third avenue
elevated train, and gazed alphabetically
at her polyglot cross examiners. She
uttered no word, and phrases from
every European language, old and
modern. fell on her ears apparently
without conveying any idea 10 her
mind.
The girl was taken from north
bound train at 13Sth street. When the
police arrived two Germans, an Italian.
a Pole. a Swede, a French woman and
a Spaniard were trying TO engage her
in conversation.
At the station house Lieutenant Nc
Loughlin cxhorted her in his most pol
ished Gaelic, and a young patrolman
bv the name Of MacBriar tried his luck
in Highland Scotch. The fair visitor
listened attentively 10 both and then
laughed heartily, but said never a
word. The police finally decided 10
turn the girl over 10 the Bellevue
authorities for observation. 1t is be-
lieyed that the patient is a victim OF
son,e infreauent form OF aphasia.

FINDS UNITED STATES
BEST OF C0L0NZERS
Colonel Dickinson, Back from
World Tour, Loud in Praise
of Work in Philippines.

Colonel Samuel ID. Dickinson. former
Secretary OF State Of New jersey. re-
turned yesterday in the Hamburg
American liner Impcrator after a trlp
,aound the world lie brought back
some impressions Of the Philippines
strong enough to drive under cover
any who favored giving up the islands.
Never in the history OF colonial gov
ornment, he said. has there been better
work accomplished than that which
this government has done in upbuild-
ing the islands. Nine-tenths of the
American people he declared, do not
know what this country has done with
its colony and he thought IT was time
that they were informed that the
United states is the greatest of all
colouizers.
Il went away from san Francisco
on the Cleveland on February D.. said
Colonel Dickinson. and kept my
eyes open everywhere | went. | looked
at places and conditions broadly, made
comparisons without prejudice. and [
must say that the Philippine Islands
to-day under the rule Of the United
states is a colony Of which We should
be exceedingly proud.
AT Hong Kong | saw what the Brit
sh did in the way OF colonization. At
Using Tau | had a chance To see GER
man accomplishments i'm colonlzinS.
and at Java | saw what the Dutch had
done. Some OF it was good, but IT
could not compare with our work at
the Philippines.
"All one needs TO do is to go over the
sround that | have covered and he will
be- convinced. as | am, that in colonial
ton America leads the world. And the
strange part Of it all is that she is the
Youngest in the game. Manila alone is
a revelation to every one who visits IT..
All this great work has cost the gov
crnment millions upon millions, but
financial statistics show that she Mas
got it back dollar for dollar and is a
little ahead of the bargain
Colonel Dickinson said that every
American on the cruise shared his en-
thusiasm. and he was urged to make il
nlain TO the people at home. he said.
Just what was going on in the islands.
Il drew up n petition which was
signed by all the passengers" he said.
asking the Senate to consider the
proposition we'll when certain agitators
started the cry Of cutting the islands
adrift. urged that the Senate before
giving ear TO any such proposition
should send commission TO Manila
and let that commission report to the
people of the work this government
had put forth in her colony.
ne-tenths of the American people
look upon the Philippines as Great
Britain looked upon the United States
at the time of the Revolutionary War
The Philippines are the most remark
ably governed colony in the world, and
what is more, the islands have the
most intelligent colonists in the world"

Friends Fear Annoyance.

After Big Tim" made his brief state

away, his friends explaining that while
the Tammany leaders health had I'M

noyed by questions.
1t had been planned TO take Big
Tim" and his baggage from the ship at
Quarantine and land him at the Bat
terv. where automobiles were ready TO
take the party TO the Grand Central
Station. Patrick Sullivan was anxious
to get his brother to his farm in West
chester on the first available train.
The delay in finding the politician
aboard the Imperator. however. altered
the arrangements. and he landed at the
Hamburg American pier. in Hoboken.
Although the baggage of the two
Sullivans was expedited. big Tim
seemed to he in no hurry to get ashore.
After the trunks had been examined.
big Tim" accompanied by his brother,
Farrell and Larry Mulligan. walked
TO the end of the pier and down to the
extension that had been built TO ac-
commodate the Imperator.

Here he was met by his two nieces,
who had come ashore fiom the tug
They greeted him afectionately, but
his responses were made in perfunctory
fashion. He took the proffered hands

Mulhgan led the way 10 the tug and
big Tim" followed like child.
81 II was fortunate that the two men
did not walk quickly, as both most
likely would have been felled by a
great steel hawser that dropped to the
pier as they approached it. The Inn
perator used the cable while she was
warping in against stin flood tide,
and by the time big Tim and his
party arrived at the pier extension the
vessel was casting of her unnecessary
lines.

ground at Washington that .-nericans
in Mexico are in any particular dam
ger just now. In this city Americans
in the streets are not only not molest-
ed, but no more notice is taken OF their
presence than of that Of Germans or
Frenchmen. This is the case not only
in the fashionable quarters, but even
in the slums at the cas-. end, which are
a little dangerous for ALL both natives
and foreigners. at night.
Many old American residents Of this
city say they have never been treated
more kindly by Mexican friends than
at present.
Conditions are the same in all the
large cities. In the smaller country
towns and in the country Americans
and other foreigners, in common with
Mexicans, are occasionally exposed TO
the depredations OF freebooters styling
themselves revolutionists, but even
cases Of this nature have been exagger-

Held as a Conspirator.
[By Cable to The Tribune.

Mexico City. Sept. 4.-Antenor Sala' a
former business partner of General
Felix Diaz, has been arrested. 1t is sup
posed on a conspiracy charge. Sala

associations with Diaz.
As Senator Calero, formerly ambas-

a knsman OF Sala, was busy to-day
trying 10 secure the latter's release the
report spread that Calero also had been
arrested, but this was denied.
Sala is a son-in-law OF LUIS Mendez,
Mexicos leading attorney.
The American vice-consuls at Guiana

Consul General Shanklin that Ameri-
cans in their districts have no desire

Both oficial and Unofficial circles are
puzzled as TO how the idea has gained
