LET THE FILIPINOS
 KEEP THEIR WIVES

Washington December 19.-(SpeciaL) That the Moros of the wealthier class regard many wives as mark of dis tinction, was testimony given yester- day by Brig. Gen. Frank Mcintyre chief of the bureau of insular affairs, to the Senate Philippines committee. Polygamy he added, could only be stamped out in the Philippines with much b1oodshed. He urged, therefore, the striking of paragraph from the bill for Philippine independence (when in the opinion of the United States the Filipinos were worthy of independ- ence) preventing for all times, plural marriages.
 It was his expressed opinion that it would be far wiser to substitute para graph to the effect that polygamy would never be authorized by law. He urged, too, that the preamble of the bill, stating that the Filipinos would be granted independence as soon as they are fitted for government, be changed to read that independence would be granted as soon as in the opinion of the United States such would be to the. best advantage of the island CTS.
 He expressed a conviction that the Filipinos would keenly resent an im- putation that they are not now in all respects fitted for independence.

I. A. A. and in nurturing it in it's early days college men owe him a great debt To pr. Riggs, who took up the task and worked faithfully and suc- cessfully, we are also indebted. When Dr. Riggs refused the nomination we were indeed fortunate to have such a capable man as Dr. D. M. Walker of Mississippi A. and M. willing to assume the respon- abilities of the office.

Mountain Creek, December 19.-(Spe cial. 1.-The ugly little cyclone which passed over this section on Friday gathered itself together just west of Mountain Creek station and travelled northeast for seven miles, and at no place did its width exceed 200 yards, and in some places it narrowed down to less han 100 feet.
 As the cloud approached there was a dull, heavy roaring of the wind and the cloud had the appearance of an immense balloon bobbing up and down with it's neck reaching out for what it could destroy.
 The cloud passed over the farm be- longing to Henry Brown, adjoining the Soldiers Home farm on the west It cleaned up all within it's path on the Brown place, including the home and outbuildings.

According to this authority the agreement provides that the Federal league retain it's players until the opening of the 1917 season, paying all salaries called for by contract and re- .imbursing it's packers from the sale of players to clubs in organized ball.

This stipulation previously had been announced.
 According to the authority quoted above the meeting to be held at Cincin- nati Tuesday has only details to con sider.
