EXPLOSION THREATENED
OVER p. S. c. HEARING

Some of the Senators argued that they
were not duty bound to take any such
step II that after they had made their
report il was incumbent upon the GOV
crnor to take any such steps as the law
dictated.
In their stand Senators Thompson
and Mills had the backing at times Of
the Democratic members of the COM
mittee. Tho argument became so acute
tina Senators Thompson and Mills were
called before the Governor for dis
cussion OF the question. but neither
would Yield. The matter was fought
out in his city and after the com
mittce returned to Albany to complete
the drafting of their eport the con-
trovcrsy was continued.
Finally II was agreed that the re-
port itself should contain nothing but
conclusions of facts. just as Senators
Mills and Thompson had fought for
all along. but that the members or The
committee individually should answer
the Governors letter for information
concerning the conduct of the Commits
sioners themselves. Here again.. "

Washington, Jan. 2.-In vigorous terms. former President Taft today told senate Philippines committee the Flllpino people were not as vet ca- pable of government. He opposed in detail the administration bill f1.' greater measure Of seit-governmGnt for the island, declaring that no measure could be framed better cal Culated to stir up trouble in the Phil ippines. s
 The Filipino people do not under stand republican elf-government in the sense that we know it, sa1u 1n5 former president.
 What will be the result if they were given government at once?" asked Chairman Hitchcock
 "A Filipino in whom 1 have great confidence," said MT. Taft. said to me: Your steamers would not be around Corregidor island before the throat-cutting would begin l verify believe that is true. We find the same conditions in Mexico. The man who loses political fight has his head for a forfeit That's what developed when Aguinaldo was in power.
 "I'm describing an actual condition that exists there. I would be gl>d to have the United States get out of the Philippines and I have a great regard for the poor people out there. They do not like me because I've told them the truth. If you. give these people independence, now or by 1920, you will. have. this terrible. situation de- velop. Either a Diaz would arise ill the Philippines or they would get in-. to a condition that caused the fall of Diaz in Mexico" *

 MT. raft declared that in his opinion Taran had no desire to take the Phil ippines.
 'I twice visited Japan and conferred with the authorities on that very point,' he continued, "and it is my opinion that their experiences iii For mosa have been quite enough in chat direction"
 "Neither Presidents Mckinley Roosevelt nor myself had contemplat- ed turning~~over the Philippine gov ernmenl 10 the peoplef Uololo Inoy were educated, up to handling it," Mir. Taft said

CAPTAIN LOX'LEY
 DOWN WITH SHIP
Figures of Commander and His Signal Boy silhouetted Against Darkness as Torpedoed Warship Sinks
 in Terrific Cafe.

London, Jan. 2.-The sinking of the pattieship Formidable, descr5bed in details today for the .firsi time nv surviVors, was as intensely dramatic as It was appalling.
 when she was struck, a gale was Dlowlng-a storm which in Itself was terrifying. As she s,ttled above the roar and the creeuhing of the w1nd. crles of the dr3 wning mingled with the shouted commands ct the officers The whole scene was lighted by rock cts which streaked the foggy dawn while on deck and in the rlys1ns 1.ares burned as signals of distress.
 Suddenly the great ship. which had been listing heavily, keeled over tc the starboard- strengthened ana piunged bow first. The signal light. flared like something uncanny. throwing out in bold relief the figures Of Captain LiXley and his signal boy standing absolutely alone on the bridge.
 As with final quiver thc, Formid- able dived beneath the surface, last screech pierced the air like cry of { wounded animal and the waters GOV cred her.
 As Men Die, Bodies Tossed Away For the survivors, the sinking oi the battleship was but the beginning of their battle for life. A dramatic story of their twenty-hour struggle in the gale was told by members O. the crew of fe-ty in cutter from the Formidable which was beached a Eyfemeregies at midnight. Of the cutter crew of sixty which fled from the side of the Formidable twenty died of exhaustion and exposure be- fore the beat was Deached, and thei, bodies were tossed overheard after being stripped of their clothing. On landing nine others were found dead All were half naked.
 At the inquest tonight. Petty Offjo Cooper stated the men had bee pulling for shore since two in thf morning. As fast as the men died they were thrown overheard. he sa''
 After the explosion, the ship settled to starboafd and when the cutter was 20 yards away the Formidable sank. The captain and nearly 500 of the of ficers and crew were lost. p,
 Survivors landed at Torquay say the explosion which followed the in ract of the torpedo occurred about aft the fore magazine on the starboarf quarter. Water penetrated the stoke hold and the water-tight doors were closed immediately. The stockers drew the fires and came up on deck. A barge which was being launched We. down stem first.
 In the 45 minutes which elaphs" before te sFormidable took her las plunge, the crew batt]ed with the waves in what seemed an ' almost Lopeless task to launch the boat.
