F|L|P|NOS WARNED
TO CURB AGITATION
Morgenthau Declares Grave
Danger Rests in Cry for
independence Now.
BY WALTER RORB.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
MANILA, March 2.-Former Am
bassador Henry Morgenthau, depart
ing from Manila Tuesday, aboard the
liner President jefferson, after three
weeks careful study Of the Philippine
situation, expressed his realization of
the dangerous tides of thought ema-
mating from political agitation here.
"A disinterested observer" he said.
addressing his remarks to F'ilipinos,
cannot help noticing there is being
created here now a cyclone of senti-
ment for immediate independence. II
1t bursts, 1t will spend it's fury and
do all its havoc on the Philippines. 1t
cannot travel across the ocean and
reach the United States.
Warns Curb Is Needed.
For Gods sake, cease playing with
the highest and most dangerous eX-
plosive ever discovered, human pas
sion. Leave statesmen to settle in a
statesmanlike manner an Interstate
problem, and you use your ability and
energy to produce a giant wave of
prosperity. Your country Is far more
ready for that than for political agita-
ton
"If you really want happiness and
genuine freedom, retain your junior
partnership in the United States and
don't try to navigate the troublesome
seas of international affairs without a
pilot. Craftsmanship should supplant
politics. You need not necessarily
change your leaders. Quezon and Os-
mena have many qualifications that
make patriotic and unselfish states
men.
Says Method Must Change.
What you must do Is change your
methods, your trend of national
thought; have intelligent and peaceful
deliberation supplant exciting, unpro-
ductive agitation"
Mr.. Morgenthau has conferred dur
ing his visit here with Gov. Gen. Leon
ard Wood, as we'll as with QueZon,
Aguinaldo and other prominent lead
ers at present in Manila. and he urges
creation of a commission OF Ameri-
cans and Filipinos by Congress for
settlement of the Philippines status
under the United States and abate-
ment of passion, which he feels will
inevitably precipitate conflict.

INSURANCE CODE
CLAUSE ENDORSED
Witnesses Say Rate-making
Section Will Not Increase
Prior Rates.

Witnesses who testified before the
Senate District committee today as
sured the members that the rate-inak-
ing section of the proposed insurance
code would not result in increasing
prior insurance rates in Washington
The insurance bill consists of q
complete revision of existing law in
Washington, but the District commit
tee concerned itself almost entirely to
section 20, dealing with rate-making.
A subcommittee, headed by Senator
Harreld, had previously considered
the voluminous measure as a whole.
but recommended that the full COM
mittee consider the rate-making sec
ton because of some opposition which
had developed to II.
Predicts Rate Decrease.
Thomas Baldwin, superintendent of
insurance, produced several witnesses
today who testified that adoption of
the code would not increase rates, and
one witness said It would have
tendency to decrease rates on fire IN
surance. Up to noon the opposition
had not been heard.
Samuel Dutchberger, actuary of the
New York insurance department, told
the committee the District of Column
of rates at the present time. This
bill he said. requires reasonable rates
and rules that will eliminate discrim-
nation where the risk involved is
equal.
Answering q question from Senator
Sackett, the witness said the average
rates in Washington are the lowest,
or next to the lowest. in the United
States He added that this situation
is due largely to the fact that Wash
ington has an unusual number of
dwellings, in proportion TO commercial
property and that the favorable rate
allowed dwellings, keeps down the av-
erage rate.
Endorses Rate Regulation.
II. p. Janisch. general manager of
the Mutual Insurance organization OF
America, including fire, casualty and
farm mutuals, declared he saw no OBJ
lection to rate regulation. He said
his organization did not belong to the
existing rate-making board in the Dis
trict of Columbia because he doubted
the legality of it.
He also stated that he did not be-
lieve this new code could have the
effect of raising fire insurance rates
confiagration hazard in the city"
Says District Lays Behind.
David NJ. Lea appeared for the
Washington Board of Trade and urged
passage of an insurance code, remind
ing the committee that the general
question has been before Congress
since 1906. The District, he said is
tagging behind the State in adequate
insurance provision and that situation
hampers local companies when they
seek to do business in other jurisdic-
lions.
Answering q question by Chairman
Capper, Mr.. Lea stated the opposition
to the rate making section comes from
outside Washington and not from
local interests.
Passage of the bill also was advo-
Gated by Walter K. Chorn, formerly
of Missouri. and L. D. Wood Of Phil
adelphia, both insurance men Nj.
Wood said It was erroneous to call
this a model insurance code, because
it would not be such, although. he
said, it would bring the District up
to the best practices in most of tha
States.

political enemies that ! would not De

l want to say that / am not BABY

for / had consulted the best legal tai
ent In this county and state before l
announced and / find that there is
nothing in the Democratic primary law
that will in any way keep me from

If l am made the nominee have no
fear as to my qualifying after the

Now if any of my friends were in

just what | am doing. Everything is

Cy Adams Says:

Why is it that corn is usually spac-
ed too thick, and cotton too thin?
If an acre can't make more than 20
bushels of corn, why force it to sup
port enough plants to make 30 bush
els?
Variation makes life interesting.
Uniformity helps make it safe.
Not all things that are interesting
are safe.
The one crop system of farming,
especially cotton, throughout the state
is the greatest obstacle to the devel-
opment of large livestock industry.
The total losses caused by insects
in Arkansas may be roughly estimat-
ed at not less than 20 per cent Of the
total value of crops produced.
The average per cent aof loss from
plant diseases to cotton alone in Ar
kansas is II 1-3 per cent.
If you want to be instructed, inspir-
ed and informed, get ready to attend
Farmers Week at Fayetteville the first
week in August.
The fact that another person does a
thing does not necessarily Justify us
in doing the same thing. but we are
in a position to profit by his example
one way or the other.
The value of advice depends upon
the knowledge and sincerity of the
giver.
