Quezon asserted that slavery as an institution or tolerated practice had never existed among the Christian Filipinos, and if any exists among the uncivilized ua- tives, the situation had been under administrative control of MT. Wor- cester and the Commission, and should have been stopped long ago. MT. Quezon asserted that the desire for slandering the Filopinos and of accusing them of incapacity for self government is the motive that prompted Secretary Worcester to write his letter" and further says that if Filipino independence should become an accomplished fact, Mir. Worcester would lose his job. which pays $15,000 annually.
 MT. Earnshaw, commenting upon the resolution recently passed by the Senate calling upon the Sec retary of War to furnish the facts in the matter to that body, said that he was sure no slavery existed among the Christian Filipinos, who num- bered 100000 out of S,O0O.O0O popu- lation in the islands He said he has protested against the letter to the Secretary of War, as implying 'an accusation against the character of the Filipinos." and added, that it was obvious that Secretary Worcester's motive is merely that of giving to the American public a wrong, impression of the Filipinos as people unworthy of self government, using those state ments as an argument against inde- pendence-for which I am strongly in favor, as is every true Filipino"

Case Erased from Docket.

When the court opened in the morn ing the trial of the case of John E. Beetham of Norwich vs. Otto Brue- nauer of Detroit. formerly of this city, was started. It was brought for $3.000 damages for injuries received by MT. Beetham on the night of July 4th, 1911 when he was run Into on Derry hill by an automobile.

Perkins conducted the case for the defendant and the attorneys opposed were A. B. Davies and H. H. Pettis.
 MT Beetham was the first witness. He told of the accident. When he came to after the team was struck, he was lying in the road with MT. Brue- nauer holding his head. MT. Bruenauer brought him to Norwich to Dr. Sha- han, where a cut in his head and two broken ribs were fixed up.
 When it came time to cross examine him, Attorney Donald G. Perkins, coun- sel for Bruenauer, turned to Attorney Pettis and demanded an agreement, which he said had been drawn up be- tween Beetham and Carroll, by which for a certain sum Beetham was to as sign his claim in the action to Car roll.
 The jury was excused while Attorney Perkins and Attorney Pettis argued the matter Attorney Pettis said he had no such agreement.
 Then Beetham was asked about it and he said MT. Pettis drew up the agreement Attorney Pettis said he did not He did admit that he re- ceived some $500 from Attorney Da- vies of Norwich, representing MT. Car roll, but Attorney Pettis said he didn't know anything about the transaction assigning the claim to Carroll. until court came in Wednesday morning for the trial of the case.
 Judge Williams and Attorney Per xins fnterrogated Attorney Pettis and Attorney Davies. Attorney Davies said he drew the agreement for MT. Carroll.
 MT. Carroll was examined. He said that he paid something like $20O for the claim.
 Attorney Perkins quoted law to show that it is illegal to assign claim for personal damages for personal in juries and he moved the case he erased from the docket, which Judge Williams ordered done.
