.F|L|P|NOS GROW
MORE FRIENDLY
Announcement of Wilson'S Policy
Has Wonderful Effect
i'm Islands.

Washington, December 2e.--Manuel
Quezon, resident commissioner from
the Philippines in Congress. returned
to-day from Manila with the declara-s;
ton that since the announcement of
President Wilson's Philippine policy
the Filipinos are moro friendly toward
the Americans than ever before, and
that they now look to the United
States as their real benefactors.
Governor Harrison had been in the
Philippines fully two months before
left the Islands," said Mr.. Quezon, "and
during that time his popularity has
increased, and the affairs Of the coun-
try. both political and economic, have
been growing better.
THE policy Of President Wilson as
outlined in his message delivered to
the Filipino people by Governor-Gen-
eral Harrison, has met with the an-
thusiastic approval Of the people of the
islands, especially the step giving tho
natives control Of both branches of the
Philippine Legislature. No wholesale
removal nor any political appointments
of American officials has been made.
The few charges made against the
chiefs OF bureaus have been made in
furtherance of tho policy of the press
ent administration in the islands. The
'Filipinization' OF the service has been
promised to the Filipfnos by the former
administration, and Governor Harrison
Is just redceming that pledge The
civil service regulations enacted by
the former administration are being
strictly adhered to.
The effect of the new policy on
business has been for the good.' One
immediate result has been the improve
ment OF the relations between the FIJI
rinos and the Americans, so that now
there is n corporation among them,
not only In governmental affairs, but
in business also. "a
Acting upon Governor Harrison q
recommendations. the Philippine Leg

MT. Meyer did not say that he knew
MacNaughton personally" said Mr. Hill
Ton ana believe the statement that
MIR. Meyer claimed to have met the
general manager OF the Calumet and
Hecla Company in conference is based
on Misrepresentation
What Mr.. Meyer told me was sub
stantially this: that when the mob had
dragged MIN to the depot in Houghton,
man who physically answered the
description Of MacSaughton alighted
from an automobile, cursed him and
searched his pocket. taking two wal
lets. one containing money, which
was returned. and the other holding
private papers and $40 bill, which
was kept
This man was addressed by other
members of the mob as Jim and wore
a general air of authority that agrees
with MacNaughtons personality. The
man told Mr. Meyer that If he ever
came PACK 10 the copper country he
would hang him.
MIN Meyer told me in Chicago he
was convinced In his own mind thar the
man In question was James MacNaugh-
ton"
"MnifcIousiy False"
Let me repeat that any charge made
by MI Meyer connecting me in any
way with the event at Houghton is
maliciously false" said Mr.. MacNauph-
ton. Il was in Calumet all evening

Calumet, Mich. December 29-Two
out OF score or more OF witnesses
testified to coroner't jury to-day that
the man who caused the Christmas Eve
disaster in Italian Hall here wore a
white button like the badge of the
Cltizens' Alliance. Immediately after
adjournment of the hearing, o. n Hill
ton. the Western Federation of Miners
attorney, stated that further develop
ment OF this feature of the inquiry
would be attempted Tomorrow.
The union lawyer did not comment on
the fact that the president and half n
dozen members of the Women's AUX
| Hilary of the federation swore that they
saw no insignia on the man, and that
union members who stood in the vesti-
bule of Italian Hall for an hour before
the panic started said the alarm came
from within the hall, and no person
wearing such a button had passed
them.
In the opinion OF Anthony Lucas,
! prosecuting attorney of Houghton
County, who conducted the eXamina
ton OF witnesses, facts fairly we'll es-
tablished to-day were that an excit-
able member of the audience raised
the cry, that there was no actual fire
in the hall and that the doors were
open and the stairway clear when the
panic started.
"All we want is finding based upon
facts developed at the inquest" said
Mr.. Hilton. "Tho identity OF the mis-
creant who started the mad rush is OF
paramount Importance, and we intend
to do what we can to clear up this"
Testimony concerning the button was
given at the beginning and end of the
afternoon session OF the inquest
John Burcar, who gave his age as
fifteen, and said he had lost sister
In the disaster told of seeing a man
muffied to his eyes in n fur-collared
oIercoar enter the hall.
"He hollered fire and then ran out"
said the boy. II ran out too. He had
an Alliance button on his coat"
Another witness. Mrs. John X Kosl<i.
said she was twenty feet from the man,
who wore a dark blue coat on which
was a white button. TT looked like an
Alliance button" she said. but 1 wns
too far away to read IT."
One or two witnesses said there had
been some confusion in the hall before
the panic started but women In charge
of the celebration denied this.
Almost nll Witnesses agreed that tho
first alarm came from a man, and that
II was taken up at once lin different
