Sheik Smiles at Rolling Sea;
Prays to the East; Then Eats
Sultan's Amounted Here to
Help Us Understand the
Wicked" Moros of the
Philippines.

There wasn't a United States Army
officer or member of the Philippine
constabulary on the Spanish liner
Manuel Calvo yesterday. Therefore no
one smiled when the Sheik-ul-lslam
Sayid NJ. Wajih Gilani declared solemn
~ that the fanatical Moros of the
Philippines were good folk at heart
The sheik. a scholar, of forty, a
trained diplomat, linguist and a direct
descendant Of Mahomet the True
Prophet. is the Imperial Ottoman Com
missioner TO the Philippines. lie had
been visiting more or less with his flock
of a half million co-reliCionists, chiefly
Moros, and has come here to tell the
people of the United States that they
are not a bad lot. He will spread his
impressions through the medium of the
lecture platform, and will supplement
the good work by the publication of a
book entitled What Saith Sheik-ul-
Islam of the Philippines"
The Sultan's anointed was not the
only Mahometan on the Calvo. There
were twenty-six others. but he was the
best and most holy Of all. When the
vessel was plunging along through
heavy seas that made some OF the
Christians seasick, the children of Ma
homet faced the East and prayed,
Allan keeping them well the while.
The Sheik-ul-lslam attended to his
prisons alone in the saloon, and ate

was fitting that he do so. Not even
his Moro servant, Tahiti, boy of four
teen. could pray with his chief. When
it came prayer time, Tahit went down
into he steerage and joined the TWEEN
ty-one actors, headed by SheIks Bel
Kassam and Bel Hadj, who are on
their way here to augment the cast OF
"The Garden Of Allah" The big sheik
is here on a mission of love and peace.
He had been on a visit recently to
the Sultan Of Turkey. and heard the
big guns Of the Allies pounding at the
forts along the Dardanelles. Just what
the head of the Ottoman Empire
thought of peace or war, SheIk-ul-lslam
did not say. As far as he was con-
cerned, the Sultan had not sent him
here on a peace mission other than
as it affected the Moros, in the Philip
pines. whom he thought were well
meaning people.
Were it not for his turban and the
robes Of the East worn over his West
ern attire, the servant of MahOmet
might be taken for a European. He
had no difficulty in landing, but that
Moro boy, Tahiti. did. Here again
caste caused difficulty. Tahiti travelled
in the Storage, and despite the guar
antees offered by his master, the lad
had to go to Ellis Island. The sheik

Railway, y. j., Aug. 12.-Rahway
Reformatory's Council CT Thirty, an
organization similar to the Mutual
Welfare League at Sing Sing, has
been abandoned. Flaws in the york
ings of the council, which for a year
has controlled the discipline Of the
inmates in minor affairs, ended the
self-government plan.
81 told the men at chapel we had
better abolish it," Superintendent
Frank Moore said to-day. Twenty
five voted for its retention to roo for
its abolition.
DR.. Moore said the members of the
council elected by the inmates were
inclined to favoritism or resentment.
The honor system is still. in operation
at the reformatory and works well.
Young men are frequently allowed to
attend funerals.
Baseball games with outside mines
and a baseball league at the reforma-
tory, plenty Of outdoor work on the
farm and roads and a half day at
school are some of the other changes
DR.. Moore has made.

Macdonald testified he told Mr. 0s-

pie out Of the prison apply to the Su-
perintendent's representatives?
According to Macdonald, the warden
said he was tired Of having Tom, Dick

that it was a damn good thing"
The emissary OF Mr.. Riley then told
how he offered TO give Osborne the
letter from the Superintendent but
that the warden turned over in bed
and went to sleep again.
Macdonald said he then went over
to the prison and saw Principal Keep
er Dorner, and told him to send Bob
Kelsey. a convict. TO him. Macdonald
said he told Kelsey what his errand
was and asked for the papers, saying,
IN give you receipt for everything
| take" He took the papers from the
safe, placed them in his satchel and
left the prison after giving the re-
ceipt to the convict.
Before leaving the prison, Mcdonald
testified, he tried to see the principal
keeper again, but could not find him.
Questions in the crOss-examination
concerning MacDonald's relations with
his gambling employers were ruled out
by Judge Valentine.
"The first | knew Of any trouble"
Riley's agent announced, was when
these four roughnecks attacked me-"
Whom do you mean by these four
roughnecks'" Osborn's attorney asked.
"Warden Osborne, the O'Connors and
Pat Keller, the warden's chauffeur"
After the defendant left the stand
the defence closed with the testimony
of several men who swore they had
seen Osborne push Macdonald. All of
them insisted that Riley's man had not
attacked the warden.
In rebuttal Mr.. Osborne was called
again lie said Macdonald had never
offered TO give him letter from the
Superintendent of Prisons, and that
he had not referred to it during their
conversation.
Frederick Bonner, the principal
keeper. testified that Macdonald had
never referred to taking papers from
the prison, either to him or TO Kelsey.
He also insisted that he was in the
prison during the agents stay, and
that he was not sent for second time.
