assembly. Emphatic belief in the right

in the resolution and the presidents
words are gratefully accepted as "a
categorical declaration Of the purpose
of the nation to recognize the independ

The text of the resolution. made pub

''We the representatives of the Phil

1t is evident to us that the Filipino peo-
pie have the right to be free and In

Being called to the ballot box the
people again and again ratified this as

the Philippine assembly the national

accordance with the popular will only.
thus, in the midst of most adverse CIR
cumstanccs the ideal of the people
never wandered and was respectfully
and frankly brought before the powers
of the sovereign country on every pro-
pitious occasion. On the other hand
our faith in the justice of the American
people was as great and persistent as
our ideal. We have waited in pa

The message Of the president of the

WILSON SIGNS BILL
AFFECTING DEPUTIES

Washington, oct. 22-Prcsident
Wilson today signed the urgent de-
ficiency bill carrying exemptions to the
civil service of deputy United States
marshals and deputy collectors OF in
ternal revenue.
The president gave out the following
rncmorandum:
u am convinced after careful ex
|amination of the facts. that the offices
of deputy collectors and deputy mar
shals We're never intended to be in
cluded under the, ordinary provisions
of the civil service law. The con-
clusion of the whole method and
spirit of the department in the pro-
visio in this bill, which concerns the
appointment of these officers is no less
entirely in my hands now than 1t was
before the bill became law; my warm
advocacy and support both OF the prin-
ciple and of the bonaflde practice Of
civil service reform is known to the
whole country and there is no danger
that the spoils principle will creep in
with my approval or connivance."
The president took the position that
bonded officers. directly responsible for
their subordinates, could choose more
efficient men by personal selection
than by examination, because of the
personal equation that enters into the
confidential relations between employ
or and employc. The president more
over, feels that at any time he can by
executive order control the system.

for pillaged goods.
Catherine Diakonoff related to kras-
sovsky story of visits paid by her to
Vera's flat about the time of the mur-
der of Yushinsky. She said Vera had
displayed much agitation. Three young

konoff arrived and they scurried out of
the room as she entered. She said she
saw Il large bundle and asked what it
contained. Vera Tcheberiak replied.
"All sorts of stuff When Vera heard
