FnIPNos HEED REGION,
SELF-RULE SHOULD WAIT

1.-THE Fflipinos are fast becoming a
civilized people," said DR.. Charles r.
Hamilton. In a lecture at the Washing
ton Heights Presbyterian Church, last
night, and whether or not they shall be
a Christian nation depends upon the rell-
gious training given TO the Filipino chill
dren now in the government schools.
As no religion is taught in the govern
ment schools the only hope OF making
the Filipinos a Christian nation lies in
the work being accomplished by the mis-
sionaries, he said.
In speaking OF self-government for the
Philippines DR.. Hamilton said that he
did not believe the people were quite
ready to receive it, but he believes that
another generation Of progress such as
the present one will find them not only
ready, but capable.

Mann PREDICTS
war in PACIFIC
Asserts Awakening Of China
Means Conflict Between
East and West.
u. S. NEEDS PHILIPPINES
Minority Leader. Protesting Against
Independence. Says We Must
Keep Islands as Ally.

Asserting his belief that a conflict be-
tween the Far East and the Far West
certainly viii follow the economic de-
velopment Of China, Representative
James R. Mann. Of Illinois, minority
leader Of the House. yesterday delivered
a carefully prepared. impressive plea
against ultimate Independence for the
Philippine Islands.
Mr.. Mann's speech, in the course OF
debate on the Jones bill, ignored the
Presidents injunction against the discus
sion OF international questions, but,
though expressing a profound conviction,
was temperate in tone.
War Certain 90 Come.
IT have no doubt that it is as certain
as the sun will rise tomorrow that con-
fiict win come between the Far East and
the Far West across the Pacific Ocean,
he said. Il hope that II may be only a
commercial conflict. But I have little
faith that in this world Of ours people
and races are able to meet in competi-
ton for a long period without armed
conflict. A fight for commercial suprem-
acy leads, in the end. TO a night with
arms, because that Is the final arbiter be-
tween nations.
when China Is awakened" he contin'
ued, "and the tendency comes which al.
thIckly populated, to 20 out into the
world, either with her own people oil
with the production OF goods made BY
her people, we will have a conflict or
our hands which Will last for many
years, possibly for many centuries.
II am opposed TO giving the Philip
pine Islands independence" Mr.. Mann
declared, asserting that IL we let then
go they will belong to another country
within ten years, or. II they keep theil
independence, ultimately would be turned
against US in q conflict between races.
Keep the Philippines under the fiag
Of the United States he urged, and
make them our friends. There Is no ad-
vantage In having the Philippines, in the
event OF war, II they are unfriendly &c
US. Most people who get under our flag
want to stay there. II we treat the
| EilipInos right they will want to stay
there
Keep Islands Under Flag.
Assuming that the FIlipinos are cap.
able Of self-government, l am in favor
Of giving the Philippine people the broad
est liberty OF self-government, retaining
them under our nag. The objection
have to the pending bill is that 1t has
too many restrictions and shall move
to strike out some of them.
I'VE should give them a chance TO SEE
whether they can manage their OWL
affairs and make them friends Of tbs
United States, so in the future, wher
these conflicts will arise, We will have
control of the Pacific and we will have
warm, devoted American friends and citi'
| liens in the Philippine Islands, on thS
other side OF the Pacific Ocean, so thai
| this country and our race may remain
supreme on the fighting ground OF th'
tuture-the Pacific Ocean"

require some tall hustling to equip the
eight ball parks with modern stands
by the time the opening day rolls
around.
Jim Gaffney, owner of the Boston
club. deserves a lot of credit for hay-
ing obtained Johnny Evers in the face
OF the fact that the Federal League
was anxious to secure him. 1t would
have been ten-strike for the new
league to have corraled Evers, one of
the best known and most popular
players in the game. but Gaffney went
the limit in financial way and got
the prize, so that Murphy's g1aring
blunder in releasing him did not give
the Federal League any substantial
benefit.
While several changes in the playing
rules have been made. none of them is
important enough to make any ma
terial difference in the game The stop
ping of the practice of the coachers
at third base helping a base runner
back to the bag after oversliding it is
really unimportant In fact. it has
never hurt the game to have this prac-
tice in vogue. 1t frequently happens
that q runner is going at such speed
that he cannot stop i'll time to hold on
to the bag. and if the coacher assisted
him without interfering with the field
er no harm was done.
The other changes are trivial in their
scope. and the average fan Will not rec
ognize that any have been made in the
game.
E,vers has really been benefited by being
released by Murphy. He will get more
money now than he ever did before. and
his surroundings will be much more pleas
ant. Being relieved OF the worries of the
management. Evers is pretty sure TO play
as good ball as he ever did. and thus be
able to give his team lot of help. Stall
ings cut a figure last season with team
of experiments, and Evers will fit in well
the coming season. The chances are
that the National League race will be
much more interesting than it has been
heretofore. and the Giants are not apt to
have the walk-over they have had in the
past two campaigns.
That the entire Wrangle with the Fed
eral League could have been avoided had
Ebbets of Brooklyn shown a willingness
to meet Joe Tinkers demands after pay
ing $4,000 for his release goes without
saying. Ebbets erred when he tried 10

he is perhaps one of the best men in the
high schools. He won a place on the all
high loot ball team last fall. and now is
holding down position on the basket ball
squad and is the teams best player. He
undoubtedly will be one of the best pitch
ers III the base ball series during the
coming season. If Western had three or
four more youngsters of the caliber of
Adams it would not stand far from the
top in every branch of athletics.

its game with Gallaudet last night. The

After having shown so brilliantly in its
previous contests. it is rather surprising
that Gallaudet should fall SO far below
It's previous standard. The kind of basket
ball played by Gallaudet in the last few
weeks would have caused the team to
show much better against the Brookland-
ers than 1t did. although the winners
OF last night undoubtedly are playing in
splendid form right now

Favorites and outsiders split the card

with the running of the sixth race, in
which Judge Monck, we'll known for his

to snatch the decision from the well
backed second choice, Schaller, and the
favorite. DR.. Jackson. Judge Monck was

EPIPHANY FOUR FAST.
Quartet of Good Youngsters to Com

The midget relay team of the Epiphany
Sunday school, which will make its ini-
tial appearance in the indoor games of
Johns Hopkins University TO be held in

fully under the personal direction of
John j. Campbell the crack Georgetown

youngsters have been most fortunate in
securing the services of such a good
coach.
