MANILA, January 2G.-One hundred
constabulary troops left Manila yes
terday on the coast guard cutter Po-
lilo for Surigao to reinforce a con-
tingent of constabulary troops which
has been attempting to disperse re-
ligious fanatics IN that region.
The situation among the fanatics
of Surigao province and nearby Is
lands is growing worse, according to
dispatches received at the offices of
Gov. Gen. Wood. Col. Bowers, con-
stabulary commander of Surigao, has
wirelessed that two constabulary
lieutenants with thirty-three men.
have established themselves outside
the town of Placer.
The lieutenants, Col. Bowers said.
reported that more than 200 fanatics
near the town were threatening to
kill all officials Col. Bowers said he
would attempt to dispense the fanat-
les who have cut the telegraph lines.
The constabulary officer said there
was a movement among small bands
of fanatics to create disturbances
throughout northern Surigao, which
may spread through the provinces of
Agusan and Leyte. In addition to
the troops sent from Manila, another
constabulary company has been sent
| to Surigao from Iligan. About 900
constabulary troops are in Surigao

DEMOCRATS OBDURATE

,fter a week of cajoiing, the repub-
Hcans have not succeeded in convinc-
;n~ their democratic brethren that tax
revision should be nonpartsan
1t goes against the grain Tor the
democrats to yield to the opportunities
of the republicans. for they remember
how the republicans turned cold
shoulder to the recommendations of Il
democratic President subsequent to
1918, when the control of both houses
of Congress passed from his hands.
The democrats also feel that this is
their year. They want to do nothing
that will help the republican admin
istration stay in power. In other
words, if they do support tax bill
they want it to be SO obviously a
democratic measure that the credit
will come to them rather than to
their opponents.
At the present moment, however,
the proposals emanating from the
would hardly keep the issue out of
the campaign. for the critics of the
democratic bill insist that in many
respects it doesn't change the effect
of the present law at ALL and that
there would still be a clamor for re-
! vision if it were passed.
The whole fight really centers
! around the surtaX rates. The changes

Extract from ZihIman Report.
The Zihlman report says that this
legislation as originally introduced
was approved by the District Com
missioners and by the bureau of bud
get. The report shows that the ag-
gregate increased as carried in the
bill amounts to s197, ,460 for the police
department and that the one day of
rest in seven will require 139 ad-
diuonal privates of class 1, which
will necessitate other increases
amounting to S250.200.
For the fire department the ag-
greGate increase carried in the bill
is S147,160, and that the provision
for one day of rest in seven will re-
quire 105 additional men and an eX-
penditure of $1S9,0G0.

scientific collection of great value
dealing with prehistoric man, made in
Europe this summer by DR.. Ales
Hrdlicka and intended for the Smith
sonian Institution here, has been stolen
en- route. he announced yesterday.
The collection, which included about
125 photographs of the fossil bone de-
posits of central Europe and SOU
venirs from the sites, many of which
it will be hard to duplicate, was
packed in Europe and addressed 70
Dr. Hrdlicka's office in the New Ma
tional Museum. 1t was routed
through the collector of the port of
New York.
Found Only Rocks.
This week the crate arrived and the
scientist eagerly tore it open, because
the material is essential in his
studies. The crate contained nothing
but rocks and gravel. Whether the
theft occurred in this country or on
shipboard DIR. Hrdlicka is unable to
say.
He has notified government officials
in an effort to have the crate traced
from the time of its arrival in this
country.
Worthless to Thief.
Although of great value in his own
work, physical anthropology, of
which DIR. Hrdlicka probably is the
greatest living exponent in the
United States, he claims the collec-
tion will prove puzzling and worth
less to any one not versed in this
most involved of sciences. During
the summer he had visited and stud
led large number of prehistoric de-
posits in England, Germany, France,
Austria and Croatia, and returned
with well defined theories as to the
actual descent of the human race OF
today, which he explained to the
Washington Academy of Sciences.
Articles in the collection would have
done much to support his views.
