FAIRCHlLD HOPES
PHILIPPINE BILL
STILL BE PASSED
Former Hawaii Sugar Man,
Now Leader in Philippine
Business, Here for Day

George II. Fairchild, former man,
ager OF Makee Sugar company and
senator for Kauai, is spending today
in Honolulu, being passenger in the
Tenyo Maru. He was here before IN

peared before the senate committee on
the Philippines, OF which Senator
Hitchcock Is chairman. besides con.
ferring with President Wilson, in each
case strongly supporting the amended
Jones bill to give the Filipinos larg-
er measure of self-government.
eThe Jones bin would have passed.
Il think said Mr.. Fairchild to the
iStar-Bulletin this morning, at the
nate session had It not been for the
refusal Of Senator Poindexter to unarl-
irnous consent for its consideration.
it was acceptable to both parties and
both houses The only objection.
which was held by some members Of
both parties, was to the preamble. but
that would not have been serious
enough to defeat the bin had It not
been that the shipping bill filibuster
upset the whole plans Of the presi
dent. But the president tells me II
will be carried over with other meas
ures and will be given special consid1
GRAFTON at next session Of Congress.
Reasons for Favoring 1iII.
MY reason for supporting the Jones'
bill,v said Mr.. Eairchfld IN reply. to 81
question, ''is that It increases the pow
ers Of self lf-government of the Filipino
people. II allows them TO pass such
legislation as they may deem TO be n
their best interests. subject to the

In the present organic act there
are great many regulations with re-
gard to corporations. lands, etc. which
many Filipinos think initiate against
The development of the country. The
operation of this bill would either con-
firm or remove the doubts Of some
the Filipinos are capable Of
self-goyernment Il think it very un-
fortunate that the bill failed to pass

SOUGHT SAFETY UNDER
WAGON WITH BEAR

The Fallon Eagle gives a thrilling
account of the confusion that pre-
vailed when the big tent of the
Barnes circus blew down last week,
and we quote as follows:
Had the catastrophe been a few
minutes later, the big wild animal
event would have been on-a woman
in steel arena with II lions and
tigers. In the menagerie the ele-
plants had been left unclaimed after
one act and were waiting for an
other. They became frightened, but
their keeper quickly hooked their
heads together and rushed them out.
The camels were controlled and re-
moved with the greatest difficulty
The only reason all of the horses and
Shetland ponies were gotten out be.
fore the tent fell is that the greater
part of them were in harness and
waiting for their acts, instead Of be.
Ing tied to the stalls. The ostriches
were turned loose and ran around
"ANh ShSAi W thS BIOuHu tOOh-
ing for a hole to put them in-the
ostrlch's idea of hiding. One woman
with a little boy crawled under a
wagon, thinking they would be safe
there. After remaining a few mo-
ments she discovered bear tied at
her side and she took a desperate
chance in running across the arena
and getting outside.
"Those injured were: Mrs. Frank
Ferguson, nose broke; Bish Fergu-
son, knocked down by pole; China.
man, foot hurt; colored attache of
circus, reported three ribs broken;
circus policeman, struck in back by
pole; George dollhouse, struck by
pole; circus laborer, hand bruised.
Others received minor bruises which
have not been reported"
