OUTBREAK PROOF
AGAINST FILIPINOS
Evidence of Unfitness for Self.
Government, Says Repre-
sentative Miller.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington, Dec. 26-"The present
outbreak in the Philippines is proof Of
the incapacity Of the Filipinos for self
government" said Representative Clar-
ence b. Miller, of Minnesota, ranking
minority member Of the House Com
mittee on Insular Affairs, tonight.
Mr.. Miller returned recently from
the islands and fought the passage Of
the Jones independence bill in the
House. He believes now that the Fill
pinos are themselves furnishing evil
dence of Republican claims that self
government must DC remote.
az there is an Instruction in the
Philippine Islands, as news dispatches
Of to-day state" said Mr.. Miller in an
interview tonight, "the Democratic ad-
ministration is largely responsible
for it,
81 do not regard the present outbreak
as serious in itself IL shows, however,
what this talk of independence for the
Filipinos may lead 70, for the Fill
piuos are incapable OF governing them
selves. They can be led like children
by such irresponsible persons as this
individual Ricarte.
"He is a firebrani, and has been on
trial before for stirring up trouble
among his people and endeavoring TO
start revolt. Part of his game IS
selling commissions among the Fill
pinos, telling them there is going to be
a revolt and Offering them a chance to
become officers. For $50 n man can get
70 be a general under this sort OF an
arrangement.
"Rcarte was found guilty Of iHsur-
rcction three or four years ago. When
the matter came before the courts he
was let out on bond and jumped 10
Hong Kong. He was not brought back
because it was declared that he had
been indicted for political offence.
"To-day's dispatches would indicate
that Ricarte has returned. He IS able
TO get following easily because OF
the talk of proposed Independence by
Democratic administration. As
matter of fact, the Filipinos are no
more ready for independence than the
Esquimaus of Alaska, the Apache Ind
ians in our own country or the Hotten-
tots of Africa. They are simply ire
sponsible children, and the fact that
they can be led astray by a man like
Ricarte proves IL, according to my
mind.
1.-THE constabulary are armed SOL
diers, trained in warfare, and X they
we're led TO join in an insurrection the
outcome might be exceedingly trouble
some. Possibilities of this sort were
recognized by army officers when l was
in the Philippines few months ago.
They told me that if things went on
the way they had started under the
present rule they feared there would
be real work for the army in the Phil
ippines. The entire situation shows
that the Filipinos are not ready for
self-government. and il all the facts in
possession of Governor General Harri-
son were known TO the American pub
lie they would not consider for an in
slant the thought of giving these peo-
ple independence"

WHITMAN TAKES
OATH AS GOVERNOR
Pauses for Short Time in
Work on Baff Case to
Give Pledge.

Charles s. Whitman took the oath OF
Office as Governor at noon yesterday
As an indication that he did not con-
slider this relieved him of any OF the
responsibilities that still rest on HIM
as District Attorney he spent the after
noon in the Criminal Courts Building
in consultation on the Baff murder
not getting away until after z o'clock.
The oath Of Office was administered
10 the Governor-elect by Chief Justice
Inqrgham. of the Appellate Division OF
the Supreme Court, in his chambers, al
Madison av. and 25th ST. Mr.. whit
man walked there from his home with
William Z. Hayward, who is TO be his
personal counsel. The ceremony was
witnessed by several of the other JUS
tees.
Justice Ingraham is al old personal
friend of the Governor-elect, who has
consulted him frequently on knotty
problems for several years past. II
was said. however. there were no sentl-
mental reasons for taking the oath
Yesterday. The constitution does not
prescribe when the Governor shall be
sworn in, simply stating that all Of
fcers, executive and judicial. shall take
the prescribed oath before they enter
on the duties of their respective Of
, fees
II has been customary for Governors
20 take their oath at the time of their
inauguration. at noon on January l.
and probably the Governor-elect viii
make a reaffirmation at that time be-
fore Chief Justice Willard Bartlett, OF
the Court Of Appeals.
Mr.. Whitman felt, il is understood
that there might be some official busl-
ness of an urgent nature that would
REQUIRE attention between midnight on
December 81, when the term OF Gov
ernor Glvnn expires, and noon on Janu-
arv !, when the inauguration cere-
monies will take place. For tins rea-
son he qualified yesterday.
Friends Of the GovernOr-elect are OF
the opinion that he will announce the
selection Of Charles Albert Perkins as
his successor in the District Attorney
Office early in the week He may with
hold il. however. until he goes to Al
banv. which will be on Thursday IL
is lust possible that he may take adj
vantage of his powers and make the
appointment of Mr.. Perkins on the
morning of January /.
Aside from the fact that he had re-
ceived the approval of the judges of
the county and hundreds Of others who
have come in contact with the work OF
Assistant District Attorney Perkins
there will be some sentimental graft
fcation 70 Mr.. Whitman in naming Mr
Perkins. 1t was DR.. Albert Perkin.
who as head Of Adelphi College, Brook
lyn, gave Dir. Whitman his first POSI-
ton as a teacher the fall after his
graduation from Amherst. IN 1891.
William A. Orr, the Governors sec
rotary, will 90 to Albany on Tuesday
TO prepare for Mr. Wh!tman's arrival
on Thursday.
Albany, Dec. 26 - Governor-elec'
Whitman did not set a precedent by
taking the oath Of Office privately be
fore his Inauguration, as several Other
{ Governors have acted on the theory
that there should be no interruption OF
executive authority.
Mr.. Whitman's action to-day came a.
a surprise to state officials.

The question was again addressed 10
Governor Martin by Senator Fletcher,

that my chief fear would be that n

Governor Martin also admitted some
what reluctantly that il was approx
mately 10 per cent of the total popula-
ton that wanted independence. The
others, he said, would be quite as will
ing 20 believe that they were better OIL
under American rule than they would
be under self-governmcnt
Both Views OF Situation.
Mr.. Martin summarized his views on
the question of Filipino independence
as follows:
"ln my judgment we have the most
important government in the world at
home. II self-goyernment Is TO exist
in the world IL will be because Of the
example OF the United States. And If
man is Of the opinion that our pos
session of the Philippine Islands en-
dangers our home government, ] be-
lieve that man ought to favor geeting
out Of the islands forthwith. II he is
not of that opinion. IL he believes we
can stay there safely, am very sure it
is one OF the finest experiments Of
colonial government in the world. do
not believe IL can be duplicated in the
world. IL he believes we are safe in
staying there and is willing TO spend
the money that is necessary just to see
what we can do, | would think that
kind OF man would favor staying in
the islands"
The possibility that conditions such
as now prevail in Mexico might follow
the withdrawal of the United States
forces from the Philippines and that
chaos and anarchy would take the
place of government was suggested by
Senator Weeks.
1--WE can see all around u.s." he said,
I'VE do not have TO look very far be-
yond our own borders to see anarchy
existing to-day. And | am wondering
II we are justified in leaving the Phil
ippine Islands with the possibility Of
that kind of a condition developing
there. What do you think of the prob
abilities of il ?"
81 would think" answered Mr.. Mar
tin, that the p-udent thing to do
would be TO take this additional STEP
! cannot believe there is any doubt
about the safety of taking this step,
and then see what happens. Sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof"

The world was hailing a new cham
pion.
Now recently along comes Freddy
Welsh and takes the lightweight title
in 20 rounds.
Terry McGovern caught George
Dixon when the negro was on the
down grade and put him out. Stanley
Ketchel beat Joe Thomas and took
the middleweight championship from
him-but the fight went 80 rounds.
Abe Attell, champion for many
years, went the 20 rounds with John.
ny Kilbane and lost his featherweight
title ON points. II was battle Of
age against youth-and the latter
won. But the margin was close. At
tell for several years before had been
on the down grade. Kilbane had been
rushing along at top speed. Yet the
old boxing master gave the youth
mighty fight before he relinquished
his title
It took Frank Erne 20 rounds to
win from Kid (George) Layinge. even
though Erne had youth in his favor.
Jack Dempsey stood up under the
merciless fusillade of Fitzsfmmons for
13 rounds before he took the count.
OF course, there are a few exeep-
tions to the general rule that cham
pions are hard to beat Joe Cans
knocked out Champion Prank Erne In
less than a round, and Young Corbett
needed less than two rounds to send
Terry McGoyern to the mat and take
his title. But the exceptions are
rare.
A statistician who gathered the
dope" on all the battles In which
titles changed hands in all classes
during the last 80 years, has discoy-
cred that the average time Il takes
to dethrone a champion is a fraction
less than 90 rounds, which shows
that champions die rather hard.
