a half dozen youngsters clambered on
the running board of the presidents au-
to mobile when II entered the golf
grounds and engaged in a free-for-all
fight for possession of his golf CLUBS.
The president laughed heartily as hs
leaned out and separated the contestants.
while one of the secret service men told
the boys If they did not behave and take
their turns orderly, each day they would
not be permitted to caddy for Mr. Will
son at all. After that truce was de-

After the golf game, the president spent

This Morning

\ further postponement until 10 o'clock
this morning of the hearing of the pc
tition filed in the United States court by

ing a contract for the sale of lands.

telephone service and that many of the
rates that went into effect when the
city ordinance was passed have not been
paid and would result In endless litiga-
ton The city claims, however, that it
has no authority in law for passing the
ordinance and that the ordinance is void.

of New York. J. c. Rich of Mobile and
j. T. Stokley of Birmingham. d. f. Turn

FRIENDLY TOWARD
UNITED STATES
Wilson's Policy Felt in the
Islands, Declares Resi-
dent Commissioner
in Congress

Washington, December 29.--Manuel
L. Quezon, resident commissioner from
the Philippines in Congress, returned
today from Manila with the declaration
that since the announcement of Pres
ident Wilson's Philippine policy the
Filipinos are more friendly toward the
Americans than they ever were. and
that they now look to the United States
government as we'll as to its represen-
tatives in the Philippines as their real
benefactors. Mr.. Quezon went to the
Philippines with Governor General
Harrison.
"Governor Harrison had been in the
Philippines fully two months before I
left the islands," said Mr. Quezon, "and
during that time his popularity has iu-
creased and the affairs of the country,
both political and economic, have beea
ggrowing better.
"The policy of President Wilson as
outlined in his message delivered to the
Filipino people by Governor General
Harrison has met with the enthusiastic
approval of the people of the islands,
especially the step given the natives
control of both branches of the Philip
nor any political appointment of Amer
lean officials has been made. The few
changes made among the chiefs or
bureaus have been made in the further
anco of the policy of the present ad-
ministration in the islands. The Fill
pinization of the service has been prom
ised to the Filipinos by the former ad-
ministration and Governor Harrison is
Just redeeming that pledge. The civil
service regulations enacted by the for
mer administration are being strictly
adhered to.
The effect OF tine new policy on bust
ness has been for the good. One i'm
mediate result has been the improve
ment of the relations between the Fill
pinos and the Americans, so that now
there is a cooperation among them not
only in governmental affairs, but in
business also. Governor General Har-
rison already has gained the love of
the Philippine people and he is received
in every place with enthusiasm such
as no other human being ever enjoyed
before. Acting upon his recommenda-
tions, the Philippine legislature has
introduced administrative changes
which have resulted in the saving of
several million pesos. "a peso is half n
dollar in the government expenses, as
