Believe Philippine islanders
 Are Ready For independence
Secretary Baker Says Presi- dent Thinks People Cap
 able of Ruling.

Washington, April 4-Mem- bers of the special mission of the Philippine legislature here seeking immediate independ- rnce for the islands, were told today by Secretary Baker that he spoke President Wilson's mind when he said he believed the time had come to grant the complete independence desired by the Philippine people
 The war secretary also said he be- lieved the mission would be able to carry home word that the American people loved liberty too dearly to deny 1t to others.
 The secretary read a letter left by President Wilson when he went to Europe, expressing the hope that the mission would result in "bringing about the desirable ends set forth in the joint resolution of the legislature"
 Francis Burton Harrison, governor general of the Philippines, followed MT. Baker with the statement that his experience in the islands had con- vinced him that the obstacles to inde- pendence that appeared to exist few years ago, had been cleared away.
 The mission, including 40 prominent F'ilipinos and headed by Manuel Que zon, president of the senate. upon be- ing received in Secretary Bakers of flee todty, presented a. formal memo ial asking independence and pointing particularly to the record of the Phil ippines in the great war
 In replying, the secretary read President Wilson's letter addressed to him under date of March 3. It was as follows:
 "WiI you please express to the gentlemen of the commission repre- senting the Philippine legislature my , regret that I shall be unable to see them personally on their arrival in Washington, as well as my hope that their rnession will be a source of sat iafaction to them and that it will re- suit In bringing about the desirable ends set forth in the Joint resolution of the legislature approving the send ing of tho commission to the United States
 T have been deeply gratified with Jhe constant support and encourage rnent received from tie Filipino pao- pie and from the PhIirE ne legisla- ture In the trying period through which we are passing. The people of the United States have, with reason, taken the deepest pride in the loyalty and support of the Filipino people.
 Though unable to meet the com mission, the Filipino people shall not be absent from my thoughts. Not the least important labor of the confer ence which now requires my atten- ton is that of making the pathway of the weaker people of the world less perilous-a labor which should be and doubtless is of deep and abiding interest 10 the Filipino people.
 'I am sorry that l cannot look into the faces of the gentlemen of this mission of the Philippine Islands and tell, them all that l have in mind and heart, as l think of the patient labor, with the end almost in sight, under taken by the American and Filipino people for their permanent benefit. l know, however, that your sentiments are mine, in this regard, and that you will translate truly to them my own feeling"

WIFE DID NOT
 60 FOR MONEY

Denial that he told his wife to get money from Nicholas Dickovisky, who was shot at the Alpine hotel by Fannie Sachosky on March 16, was made by Constantin Sachosky when he appeared before Coroner PheIan today. The husband. who has been absent from the city since the murder, was brought here from New York to testify.
 He said there -Tas no truth in the statements of John Newar, who testi- fled at a previous hearing. He denied Newar's story about meeting him in an East Side saloon as which time Sachosky was supposed to have told his family troubles to Newar. The latter declared Sachosky told his wife she would be the laughing stock of the neighbors unless she obtained some money from Dickovisky. This was branded as false by the husband.
 Sachosky admitted he had trouble with his wife because of her relations with the man she shot. He said he left Mrs. Cachosky about month ago following a dispute about Dick ovisky. The witness claimed his wife has two children and he believes Dickovisky was the father of one. The coroner will make a finding in the case within a few days Meanwhile Fannie Sach- osky Is held by the police on a mur- der charge.
