PHILIPPINE BILL
STARTS A SCRAP
ON ANNIVERSARY
1t Was Dewey Who Started One
Is Years Ago Today.
Now SOlOns Debate Giving
Islands Independence.
CITE ROOSEVELT'S VERSION
Democrats Desire to Beat the
Colonel to 1t.
TOWner of Iowa Opposes Plan
to Give Up Islands.
CITE ROOSEVELT'S VERSION

Washington, D. c., May lon the
eighteenth anniversary of the battle
of Manila Bay. the Philippine indie
pendence bill was taken up in the
house by unanimous vote. There was
no resort to a special rule. The de-
bate began under an agreement be-
tween Democrats - Republicans for
eight hours providing that at the con-
cIusion of general debate the Clarke
amendment for indie pendence within
four years shall be taken up for a vote
first of all.
Defending the Clarke amendment,
Representative Jones, author of the
bill declared that the choice presented
to the senate was between a vague.
indefinite. meaningless and almost in
conceivable proposition and an hon
est effort to redeem the solemn prom
ises of the Democratic party"
There are now 1900 soldiers in
the islands," he said who believes
that 100000 would be sufficient to
garrison the forts that must be con-
structed and to defend the islands in
the event of an attack by some strong
nation? l do not hesitate to express
the opinion that it would be Impossible
successfully to defend them against
any first class military and naval pow
err Without the loyal and united sup
port and cooperation of the Philip
pine people it would not be possible
in my judgment for the United States
to hold and defend the islands against
foreign aggression.
Representative Jones, pleaded with
the Republicans to support the bill be-
cause he said Colonel Roosevelt who
sis likely to be the next presidential
candidate of the Republican party"
had approved Philippine indepen-
dence. He said more than 80 per cent
of the Filipinos were civilized; that
the Moros, the only disturbing ele-
ment in the islands constituted only
four per cent of the population and
that despite educational restrictions,
more than 100000 votes were polled
in the Philippine Islands.
Representative ToWner, of Iowa,
ranking Republican of the insular
committee opposed the bill maintain
ing there was no more reason for sur
rendering the Philippines than for
surrendering Hawaii or Alaska. If the
present navy was inadequate to de-
fend the Philippines he said it should
be enlarged. for instead of being a
source of weakness to the United
States the islands were a source of
strength

MINERS SETTLE
Agreement Reached VIII Avert
Strike of 10000.
Ends Conference of Two
Months With Operators.
DON'T RECOGNIZE The UNION
Issues on Closed Shop, Check
OFF System, Remain.
Get S-HOur Day, Increase
Wages on 4-Year Contract.

New York, May "details of the
settlement of the anthracite coal con-
troversy as a result of the negotiations
which have been going on for weeks
between the operators and the miners
were made public here today by the
operators.
The agreement involving increased
wages, shorter hours and virtual rec
ognition of the union, is as yet unsign-
ed, but since it has met with the ap-
prevail of the subcommittee which
have been in session here it probably
will not be rejected at the miners con-
vention at Pottsville, Pa, tomorrow.
The agreement will be retroactive to
April 1 and will avert a threatened
strike of some 10000 employees.
The agreement contains no mention
of the closed shop or of the check
off system which have been points of
dispute during the negotiations.
Convention to Vote ON 1t.
Regarding the former however, it
was pointed out by the operators the
agreement will when approved by the
convention, be signed by John P.
White, president of the United Mine
workers of America and by other Of
ficialS of the union and that TINS is IN
recognition of the union giving the
miners the right to organize in order
to better their conditions. AS for re
contended all along that it would be
un-American and detrimental to their
interests to constitute themselves as
collecting agents for the union and
this point the miners waived.
The agreement contains provision
that neither side shall initiate or en-
courage legislation which would in
any way affect the obligations of the
new contract or impair its provisions,
which are to be continued to May 20,
1920 Contract rates for each colliery
are increased seven per cent over and
above those effected in April, 1912.
and the working day established by
the anthrac cite coal strike commission
is reduced from nine to eight hours.
Employees who are paid by the day
or hour shall. except in certain cir
cumstances, be paid for an eight-hour
day at the rate established for nine
hours under the expiring agreement.
this payment being subject to an in
crease OF three per cent
Some to Work Nine Hours.
Hosting engineers who were in
March, 1912, granted an eight-hour
day, will receive a three per cent in
crease, provisions being made, how
ever. which will effect the arrange
ment of the working shifts Hcisting
engineers now on a nine-hour basis
whose duties require that these hours
be continued will have their pay in
creased per cent. All company men
whose hours are to be continued III
excess of nine hours Il day or who are
working on a monthly basis will re-
ceive seven per cent increase wheth-
err paid hourly daily or monthly.

ASKS A new TRIAL
RossviIIe David Harum Not Satisfied
With Courts Judgment.

A horse trade is no longer a horse
trade in Shawnee county-not when
one trader gets the hot end Of the deal
Judge Hugh Fisher of the court of
Topeka has taken all the life out of
the horsetrading profession
Ed Nilven of Rossville, brought suit
against Arthur White, also of Ross
Vile, on the ground that White had
given him the worst of it in a horse
trade. He brought suit for the full
value of the horse involved. He didn't
quite get that but he won his case
and this morning White filed a mo-
ton for a new trial.
Vilven says he traded a gelding
pony worth $50 and twenty-five BUSH
els of corn to White for a bay mare
pony which, he says, White repre-
scented to be sound and healthy. There
was no written contract but according
to the court that makes no difference
After the deal was made Vilven dis
covered that the pony he had traded
for ha d the heaves. making it entirely
worthless for his purposes. He tried
to trade back but there was nothing
doing. Then ne brought suit ana the
court gave him judgment for SIS, the
value of the twenty-five bushels of
corn, and costs.

ance and distance
The third world record made was
for speed, the machine travelling 100

UNION WINS
High Court Declares They Can't Be
Barred From Chicago Federation.

Chicago. May 1.-The appellate
court of Illinois today upheld a deci-
sion of the superior court, granting a
temporary injunction to Chicago
school teachers against the board of
education restraining it from enforc-
ing the Loeb rule barring them from
membership in the Chicago Teachers
federation.
The decision affects approximately
1000 teachers. The board sought to
obtain pledges from all school teach
ers employed in the city that they
would not have any affiliation with
the federation.
After quoting a number of decisions
upon the right of school boards to
restrict the employment of teachers to
members of any par ticulir societies or
unions, The supreme court says:
The law is that the board may
stipulate the amount of training. the
degree of proficiency and the psysi-
cal fitness CT its teaching employees.
bu' it cannot provide that it's teaching
shall be done only by certain persons
or classes of persons, members or non
members of certain societies"

BACON MAY LOSE OUT
Circuit Court to Vacate Recent Shake
speare Injunction Suit.

Chicago. May 1.-The circuit court
decision which upheld the claims that
Francis Bacon wrote the plays and
ether works attributed to William
Shakespeare, will be vacated, it was
announced today after meeting of
judges of the tribunal.
The decision was given by Judge
Richard S. Tuthill in a suit brought
by William n. Seelig, a motion picture
ma gnate, to restrain Colonel George
Fabyan and others from circulating a
series of pamphlets upholding the
claims of the Bacon sympathizers.
Had No Right to Hear Case.
Todays meeting was executive but
the details of what transpired were
made public by Judge Tuthill. The
point had been raised that he had no
right to hear the case inasmuch as it
was in chancery and he was working
on the law side.
II will vacate the decree in any
such case" said Judge Tuthill. "and
allow the judge to hear it,
Frederick A. Smith, presiding judge
of the court, said he would hear the
Selig- Fabyan suit. AS he was leaving
the meeting Judge TuthilI pronounced
this sentiment:
The mountain has 1abored and
brought forth a ridiculous mouse"

Get SUNDAY HERE
Ministerial Union Anxious to
Have Evangelist.
Auditorium Meeting for Some
Monday Is Planned.

The proposition of bringing Billy
Sunday to Topeka for a Gay was the
main topic of discussion at the meet
ing this morning OF the Topeka Min
isterial union.
\ letter from Sundays secretary to
w. NJ Jackson. saying that Sunday
would come some Monday during his
Kansas City meetings, if it could be
arranged, was read.
The Topeka ministers are enthusiast
tic and confident over their chances of
securing the world famous evangelist
for a Monday meeting here A COM
mittee of three consisting of DR.. S. S.
Estey. the Rev. E. w. Spencer and the
Rev. j. p. Hicks was appointed to go
to Kansas City if necessary to per-
suade Sunday to come.
Sundays meetings started yesterday
at Kansas City, where he will be for
the next month. Monday is an off
day in Sundays program and Topeka
ministers are confident that he can be
persuaded to conduct a one days
meeting in Topeka.
The meetings will be held in the au-
ditorium if Sunday is secured.
THE Blank Leaf Between the OLD
and New Testaments' was the subject
of an address by the Rev. S. B. AL
derson of the Presbyterian church
DR.. Anderson specialized interestingly
on the probable events that occurred
in the space of time between the
chronicling of the Old and New Tesla
ment.
The most important piece of bust
ness trar sacted apart from the propo-
sition of bringing Sunday here was the
endorsement of the Young Peoples
Societies of Topeka Churches ENTER
tainment Course scheme" Recently
the young peoples societies voted to
take over the Lyceum course of last
year and run an up-to-date entertain
ment course for themselves. To Sc
cure such a course they must secure
pledges for 100 tickets by next Fri
day. The Ministerial union has agreed
to help in every way the ticket SELL
ing campaign.

Did JUDGE SMILE?
Attorney VeaIe Says Court Ruined His
Case

Judge G. H Whitcomb of the second
division of the district court doesn't
often smile-at least not while on the
bench. But Tinkham Veale caught a
flicker of a grin on the judges face
when one of Neale's cases was on trial
last week and having lost the case,
he now holds that the judges smile
influenced the jury.
Arthur Taylor was charged with
stealing a plate glass mirror from the
wreekage of the old Foster home and
Veale represented Taylor. Veale was
trying to impress upon the jury that
the mirror wasn't worth $40, the
amount necessary to get into the pen
itentiary. He put witnesses on the
stand to show how rapidly the value
of glass depreciateS once it becomes
second hand. Something in this line
of reasoning tickled Judge Whitcomb.
so says Veale, and the judge smiled.
The jury went out and when it came
back it had found Taylor guilty of
stealing the glass and had fixed val
uation sufficiently high to give Tay-
lor an admission ticket to the peniten-
tiary VeaIe charges it up to Judge
Whftcomb's smile and he told the
court about it. Judge Whitcomb has
taken the matter under Amusement
and in the meantime will try to re-
member whether or not he smiled.

WHY He DID IT
Section of Law Indicating Action in
Mob Scare

The following section of the law, re-
printed for the purpose of bringing
out the reasons of such concentration
of action of recent days, after the
Dinsmore murder, tells the tale:
Section 1900, chapter 81. General
statutes 1909, reads:
IF any person shall be taken from
the hands of the sheriff or his depu-
ties having such person in custody and
shall be lynched, it shall be evidence
of failure on the part OF such sheriff
to do his duty, and mis- office shall be
thereby and thereat Immediately be
vacated. and the coroner shall imme
diately succeed to and perform the du-
ties of sheriff until the successor of
such sheriff shall have been duly APP
pointed pursuant to existing law pro-
viding for the filling of vacancies in
such office. and such sheriff shall not
thereafter be eligible to either election
or reappointment to the office of
sheriff"
