Description of Girl Faulty.

Woifsohn said Miss Schumacher was
nineteen or twenty years old and that on
the afternoon he killed her she wore dark
clothes. As q mater of fact. Anna Schu-
macher wore white waist and d Wine

low straw hat trimmed with green with
white figures woven in them. ana she
wore black patent leather pumps. She
was five feet six inches tall and weighed
about 135 pounds. WolfsohnS descrip

Wolfsohn at one time was a trusted en-

about to catch the thief. The investiga-

worth of stolen property was found In his
possession. In police court he got off
with fine of SO, and although he was
unable to pay the fine the case was set

Common Form Of Bondage,

1t is said at the War Department that
one Of the most common forms Of bondage
referred to in the Worcester and Phipps
reports Is based upon the contraction of
debts by the poorer classes. The debtor
either in person or through his children.
undertakes to discharge his debt through
personal service to his creditor. and often
never succeeds in getting quittance.
1t Is pointed out that In such cases at
present there Is nothing to prevent the
debtor from leaving his employer at will.

So The Philippine assembly. however.
has for several years had under con-
sideration the advisa.biNty OF enacting
legislation to oblig persons who contract
to render labor to carry out the obliga-
ton, which would amount to legitimate
ing this form of personal bondage.
The Philippine commission and the
governor, in the exercise OF their veto
power, it Is believed here, would not
sanction such legislation.

TO PROBE CHARGE Of
PHILIPPINE SLAVERY
War Department Will Direct
Gov. Gen. Harrison to Con-
duct Investigation.

Secretary Garrison today said he would
direct an investigation OF the allegations
Of former Commissioner Dean Worcester
and ". II. Phipps, auditor Of the Philip
pines. that slavery exists in the Philip
pines.
That investigation will be made by
Gov. Gen. Francis Burton Harrison,
now on his way to the islands to
take up the duties Of the new office
Dean Worcester's report will be available
to Mr. Harrison as soon as he reaches
Manila, and Brig. Gen. Mcintyre, chief
Of the bureau of insular affairs of the
War Department, will acquaint him with
the later report of Mr.. Phipps confirming
the Worcester charges.
Only recently the fact developed that
although there have been prosecutions
and some convictions in inferior courts in
the islands Of persons charged with slave
holding there never has been had any de-
cision from the higher tribunal or from
the head of the legal department OF the
Philippine government on this important
subject. although the fact Of the existence
Of slavery, or at least Of bondage in lesser
form, has figured In Official reports for
many years, dating as far back as the ne
gotiation of the famous Bates treaty,
which, Of course, was debated in the Sen
ate.

KNEW GROUND WELL.
From the knowledge shown OF the
court house premises by the thief. the
authorities were confident that the
job had been pulled" by an ex-trusty,
who Had been accorded the freedom OF
the building. The thief climbed along
narrow ledge on the third floor for
a distance OF Is or % feet. broke
window in the vault room of the cir
cult clerks Office, and gained access 70
the cash drawer. Bender was liberia
ted from jail on the goth OF February,
just four days before the robbery was
perpetrated He had served FIVE OF
six months time for robberies commit
ted In Moline During the last three
months Of his sentence he was given
the freedom of the building, acting in
the capacity Of a trusty. thus AFFORD
ing him an opportunity to obtain an
excellent idea OF the layout Because
Of his past record. and the knowledge
that he knew where the cash was
kept, suspicion naturally fell upon the
old-timer.
TELL-TALE SHOES.
When Bender left jail he borrowed a
pair OF shoes from a fellow prisoner,
Dominic Gillespie These kicks"
were equipped with rubber heels In
rifling the cash drawer on the night
OF the robbery, the yeggman upset an
ink bottle on the floor, and left the
| imprint OF his heel marks on the floor
! Yesterday morning Gillespies shoes
were returned to him al the jail The
old heels had been torn of and new
ones substituted, probably TO prevent
any comparison Of the prints The
soles had been blackened. possibly to
remove any trace Of ink stains which
might have remained on the leather.
With this to work on, the police were
confident Of the robbers Identity.
POLICE DENOUNCED.

lice court this morning, when Bender s
mother bade him farewell. Don't you

clasped her son TO her breast. II know
YOU are innocent, and the truth will be
