Governor-General Harrison
Is to Investigate the
Conditions
ORDERS ARE ISSUED
BY SEC. GARRISON
He Will Take Up Dean c.
Worcester's Charge
Law in the Case

Washington, Sept. 49, Secretary Gar
rison will direct an investigation of the
charges by Dean c. Worcester and w.
II. Phipps, auditor of the Philippines,
that slavery exists in the islands. The
investigation will be made by Governor
General Francis Burton Harrison. The
administration will get formal opinion
from the attorney general of the Philip
pines on the sufficiency of existing laws
for punishment of slavery and prose.
cutions of offenders are expected.
The charges brought by Mr.. Worees-
ter that slavery and other forms of in
voluntary servitude, accompanied by a
traffic in human beings, exist in the
islands, are substantiated by w. II.
Phipps, insular auditor of the Philip
pines, who has sent an exhaustive re-
port to the war department. 1t con-
tains sensational evidence on the subject
obtained by himself and by district au-
ditors in all parts of the island, who
made Investigations at his direction.
Many cases of the buying OF girls and
DOYS ny IlilpiHbSs anu iA1 ~
youths and even men and women in
slavery are cited by the report.
The Phipps report is partly in, re-
Spouse to a Senate resolution presented
By Senator Borah, demanding evidence
of the war department as to the truth
or falsity of Mr.. Worcester's statement
that slavery exists in the Philippines.
The war department made an earlier
reply to this resolution, indicating that
it had no evidence of actual slavery.
Mr.. Worcester retorted with yolumin-
GUS report, which was issued on his
own volition.
Representative Jones of Virginia ehal-
lenges the charge that wholesale slavery
prevails in the Philippines, made by Mr..
Worcester and Mr.. Phipps. Mr.. Jones,
who has visited the Philippines, asserts
that no slavery exists there except in
the uncivilized portions. Charaeterizing
the Worcester report as result of
the animus" of Mr.. Worcester, Mr.. Jones
SAYS the latter is the worst enemy of
the Filipinos, that there is more slavery
and peonage in the United States than
in the Philippines in proportion to pop
ulation, and intimates that he will ask
for congressional investigation of the
charges.

laxative, which helps end a cough.
This makes more and better cough

pleasant.
Pinex is most valuable concen-

Making cough syrup with Pinex and

A WEEK OF FAIR WEATHER.
Cool in the East; No Precipitation of
Consequence Is Indicated.

Washington, Sept. 23.-Fair weather
generally for the entire country is prom
ised for the coming week. Chief Marvin
in his weekly forecast says:
Cool weather will prevail east of the
Mississippi river during the early por-
ton of the week. There will be frosts
Monday morning in the. great central
valleys, the upper lake and western
lower lake region, Tennessee and the
extreme northern portions of the east
gulf states, and on Tuesday morning in
the Ohio valley, the lake region, New
England, the middle Atlantic states and
possibly the interior of North Carolina
and northern South Carolina. These
frosts will probably be heavy over the
northern tier of states.
II will be warmer early in the week
west of the Mississippi river and by
Thursday or Friday over the eastern
districts.
The week as a whole will be one of
fair weather. There will be rains Mon
day in New England and the north Pa
cfic states, but no other precipitation
of consequence is now indicated.

FEDERAL WARNING
ON DIET EXPERTS
Scores Raw Food Proposition, Expiodes
Rabbit Theory, Urges
Cleanliness.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The. depart
ment of agriculture is now giving to the
public some free advice in regard to
dieting. The department has been
stirred to activity because of many as
sertions that are being made by self
styled experts in dietetics. Uncle Sam
issues warning against many OF these
so-calleu experts who are advising freak
diets.
The department calls attention partic-
ularly to the argument advanced by
some of these experts in favor Of raw
food diet. According to the department
they tried to raise rabbits wholly on
cooked food, and the rabbits failing to
thrive, the pseudo experts drew the de.
duction that human beings also should
confine themselves to raw food.
mo such deduction is warranted
says the department. Raw food is
natural to rabbits, and this is perhaps
a fortunate provision of nature, because
the average rabbit would have a good
deal of trouble lighting a fire or a gas
stove to cook food; but it does not fol-
low that man, who has proved cooked
food wholesome by uncounted centuries
of use, should give it up because of some
ones theory"
The department acknowledges, how
ever, that there is no objection to any
body eating raw food if he likes and if
it agrees with him. As general propo-
sition, though, raw food is not cleaner
than cooked food.
eff you like raw food better than any
thing else" says Uncle Sam to his peo-
pie, "eat it. If you like bread and milk
twice day, eat it. The main thing as
one grows older is to eat in moderation
and then as always to see that what
you eat is clean and that the cooked
food that you eat is originally in good
condition and that it is well cooked. As
general proposition be wary of people
who offer to give you advice or to cure
you without even having seen you"

THE INDUSTRIAL
BOARD is BEHIND
More Than Year Wasted, and 1t Is Not
Down to Real Work

Washington, Sept 23.-Congress will
IN all probability be confronted with
demand before many months to extend
The life of the industrial commission.
Over a year has been wasted so far as
this commission is concerned. The law
creating it allowed it life of three
wears. but because of indifference in
some quarters over its work, and con-
troyersy as to membership, more than
\ year went by before the commissioners
were confirmed. A set OF commissioners
named by President Taft never obtained
confirmation, and when President VIII
son named a commission it took many
weeks OF unnecessary time before 1t
was confirmed. The members OF the
board have but recently been confirmed
bv the Senate, and now some delay Will
result before there can be organization
and an undertaking of the task which
the law imposes on it.
In 1915 the lease of life of the COM
mission will expire. 1t is saddled with
the investigation practically OF the
whole problem of the relations OF capt.
tai and labor in this country, Obviously
the time that is allowed is too brief for
the purpose, though there is no question
that much valuable information can be
gathered between now and 1915. 1t is
likely that as 1915 approaches it will be
seen the commission ought to have more
time, and congress will be asked to ex-
tend the act which created it.
Aug. II. 1918 is the exact date when
the life of the commission viii be taken
in organization and preliminaries, it
looks as if it would not have over
eighteen months of time in which to do
the actual work imposed on it. Unless
there is an appropriation allowed in a
deficiency bill this session, no money
will be available for the commission
before next winter, and this may prove
another source of delay.
Many believe the field of investigation
which the commission is directed to
cover is too vast, and that if it had been
ordered to investigate along few
specific lines it would have been more
effective.

since his retirement from active
