Manila, P. l.-Practice of polygamy

the leading families Of the outlying
provinces according to Frank w. Car
penter, retiring governor of the de-
partment Of MindanaO and Sulu.
Mr.. Carpenter is here to turn over
administration of his office to the sec
retary of the interior. who will act
through the bureau of nOn-C Christian
tribes. In accordance with new terri
tOrial law.
This law leaves In effect treaty
under which the sultan of Sulu re-
nOunced all pretensions to temporal
sovereignty. but gained recognition as
ecclesiastical head of the Mohamme-

The treaty guarantees to the sultan
and his people "the same religious
freedom had by all adherents of all
other religious creeds. the practice Of
which Is not in violation of the hns!c
principles of the laws Of the United
States"
ut Is important to note" said Car
penter in one of his messages written
as governor, that this includes a lin.

necessarily includes the abandonment
Of polygnmy.

Mr.. Carpenter said that girls Of
prominent families In Mindanao and
Sulu are being sent to Manila public
schools where they associate with
Christian girls and gradually become
imbued with the homogeneous ideas
held by the Christians. When they re-
turn to their own people their infiu-
