ernment, Gets Appeal.

WASHINGTON. April :5.-Eiliplno prop
erty owners. proprietors Of agricultural
holdings agsregating $4,000. 900. have
petitioned Representative Clarence b
Miller OF Minnesota asking that the
Jones bill granting independence to the
islands be defeated. Representative
Miller. who made a tour of the Philip
pines two years ago as a member Of the
House Committee on lnsular Affairs,
said to-day:
THE petition represents the real views
Of n large portion OF the Filipino people
| have long been convinced that the
great mass OF the Filipino people have
been entirely ignorant of the independ-
ence agitation. Responsible property
owners heretofore have not seen Mt 10
oppose the immediate independence agi-
tation carried on by a portion OF the
people because they did not think indie
~pendence might come at once and were
willing to let the present leaders make
capital out of this propaganda. Inme-
diately. however. upon the passage of
the Clarke amendment In the Senate
proposing to withdraw the sovereignty
of the United States from the Islands I'm
from two to o years. the responsible
people In the islands found themselves
confronted with the question Of immedi-
ate independence and their esponse is
immediate.
Il have had checked over the ninety
two names signed to the petition by
people acquainted with That locality and
| am Informed these are the leading
men of the two stands OF Negroes and
Panay as far as the agricultural inter-
ests are concerned. l am Informed that
these men represent about $50. 900. 900
worth OF property--they n their fami-
lies. In addition the sentiment which
they here express no doubt represents
the sentiment of practically all OF tho
property owning Filipinos throughout
the Philippine Islands. 1t is to he noted
that these men are farmers In the islands
of Nesros and Panay. where Is produced
the great bulk of the uga grown In
the Islands and where is TO bc found
this most prosperous agricultural area
In all the islands. consider this petit
ton Of the very highest Importance as
presenting Filipino wishes that ought
to be respected by the American peo-
pie"

CAN'T FIND MALONEY
IN SUIT ABOUT ALTAR
Lawyer Tells Of Inability to
Serve Papers on Oil Man
ut Office Here.

The difficulty OF serving a court order
on Martin Maloney, wealthy oil man and
a Papal Marquis. was related to Supreme
Court Justice Delehanty yesterday when
counse for the Mcbride Studios. Al Park
Row. asked the court to set a day on
which Maloney may be examined before
trial In a suit against him for $3.50 90.
The suit In based on an alleged agree
ment under which the plaintiff was en-
gagged by Mr.. Maloney to build an altar
for the Church of Our Lady OF the
Nativity At Scranton, Ia. The order
was countermanded after the plaintiff
had done part OF the work.
Attorney Roskey. representing the
plaintiff. said that after Supreme Court
Justice Whitaker a refused to vacate
an order for the defendants examination
II became impossible to serve him here.
although he has an office at so Church
street. where he is president of the
Maloney OIL IN Manufacturing Com
pany.
"Mr. Maloney has given more affairs to
Roman Catholic churches than any other
man." said the attorney. He can do
millions OF dollars worth of business
from his Office here and yet We can never
find him there to serve him with the
court order"
Samuel Newmark. attorney for Mr..
Maloney. told the court that he is IA
very busy man" and that his own attor-
ney hasn't seen him In this city hut once
In a year and in order to confer with
him must go to the Maloney home at
Spring Lake or to Philadelphia. The
lawyer said he didn't see why Mr..
Malonsy should be examined anyhow,
because the case is to come up for trial
next week.
1T Is true that he has paid for the
building OF many affairs. but he never
contracted for this particular altar said
the lawyer. Our theory of the case is
that II was undertaken solely for the pur-
pose If harassing the defendant"
The court reserved decision.
