WIDE, white smile broke out on


II the ebony face of Jaramul Hiram
II, Sultan Of Sulu, the other day
as he hoped off his throne and kicked
out an absurd and undignifed buck-and
wing. His unkingly outburst of Joy left
him looking in the general direction of
Mecca, so he delivered himself of these
words:
praise be to Allah and to the Prophet
Mohammed! Tarhata's gone Sulu at
last. She has cast out the American
devils. She forgets the United States and
remembers Jolo. Once a Sulu always
Sulu."
Thus did his royal highness announce
that his niece, the Princess Tarhata XII
| ram, had suddenly reverted to type in
spite of all the efforts of the University
Of Illinois and other agencies of Amer
| lean culture to send her back to the
| Philippines thoroughly and incurably
Americanized.
He wanted the whole world to know
! that the erstwhile queen of an American
| campus is now the harem bride of
dark -skinned Moro chieftain and that
she had forever repudiated "the land of
the free and the home of the brave" by
going on the warpath against the Fill
pno Constabulary, really a part of the
United States Army.
| Tarhata's many American friends
could not believe their eyes when recent
press dispatches from Manila brought
them the news that SO elated her royal
uncle. They could not imagine their
smiling schoolmate out in the jungles of
Moroland helping a lot of savages shoot
down the representatives of the country
she had seemed to take to her heart.
What had gotten into her that she
could SO soon forget the respect for law
and order that the professor of civics
had taught her in the classroom at Hi
nois? How could she, with all the Amer
lean culture that she had absorbed so
eagerly, become the leader of blood.
thirsty Sulus who turned killers just be-
cause the tax rate seemed a bit high?
And had she not been taught that
harem wives were sinful and indecent
creatures?
For days and days the newspaper dis
patches said the Constabulary soldiers
had held their fire for fear of shooting
the pretty young wife of Datu Tahil.
For they are quite familiar with the
lighting frenzy that slumbers so lightly
in the island empire of the Sulus, and
they did not want to touch off general
uprising Finally the Princess disap-
peared from the zone of action and the
Constabulary put the Datu's 200 war
riors to flight, sending 35 of them to the
outstretched arms of Allah. A few days
! later she was captured, i'll and exhausted.
The young men and women who knew
the Princess during her days at the Uni
versity of Illinois recall the sensation
that the comely girl from the Philippines
caused by her appearance on the campus
and her miraculous Transformation from

Sui tan of
Sulu-a hrst-class fighting man
in spite of the fun we make Of
him in our comic operas
Tarhata, the exceed, smiled and ap-
peared to be perfectly contented with
her primitive mode of life as the newest
wife of dark skinned, hot-tempered
Moro chieftain. But when her inter-
viewer asked her how she could SO sud.
denly cast aside the civilized customs
that she had learned to like in America,
she became very earnest and emphatic
81 know that all this must seem very
strange to my many friends across the
Pacific, but if | am to use my educa-
ton for the good of my people, | mus,

And then, with some display of heat,
she added, "Since America took awav
the bolos and barongs, weapons that the
sulu needs to keep his old enemy, the
Filipino, from walking all over him
some one must help him retain his stand
ing in the South Seas. am going to do
what | can"
AS further evidence that she has
shaken Oft the civilizng influence of a
college campus for the aboriginal GUS
toms Of a South Sea island, the Princess
recently blew up in good old primitive
rage and bit, clawed and pounded A
dusky siren she found in the companv
of her husband. She is said to be good
at the Cain -and-Abe style of fighting.
This surly Sulu gentleman, by the
way, is now in the hands of the authori-
ties and faces long term in prison for
the uprising in which his .lapper wife
took so active a part.
Which would seem to prove that
America might have taught Princess
Tarhata few things, but could not up-
root the Mohammedan and the Moro
that rushed to the surface soon after
she got back in her native element,

KELLY CLAIMS
TO BE VICTIM
OF FRAME-UP

James Kelly of Calexico was
bound over to Superior court yes
terday afternoon by Judge Lorenz,
following a preliminary hearing,
charged with having cracked a safe
Of II. w. Going, Calexico merch-
ant and making away with 1925
cash and other valuable papers. A
web Of cireumstantial evidence was
woven about the defendant by the
prosecution.
In the testimony it was brought
out that Kelly was arrested in Cal
cxico on the night Of January %,
charged with being vagrant. The
same night four men applied to the
police for place to sleep and were
provided with beds. The following
morning Kelly managed to get in
the group with the men when they
were released and in this manner
gained his freedom.
1t was shown that Kelly signed
a slip for several small cakes Of
soap, a shaving brush, some shaving
soap and one cent in money.
That same night the safe belong
ing to Going was cracked and the
following day Kelly was again pick
ed up in Calexico. He had $S3 in
cash. Some Of the papers lost by
Going were found near q garage in
Calexieo and with them was found
some soap, identified later as that
in Kelly g possession when he was
released from Jail. A receipt signed
by the jailor for the soap, shaving
brush and shaving soap received
from Kelly was also found among
the papers.
Kelly when questioned claimed
that he had only gone about q block
from the Jail after gaining his
freedom when he was met by two
other men who asked him for mon
ey to buy food. Kelly said that
while he stood talking with them
he threw away the soaps and things
he had carried. He believes that
these men cracked the safe and put
his stuff with the papers in an ef
fort to tie the job on him.
Asked how he jumped his bank
roll from one cent to $S3 in one day
Kelley claimed that he had won the
money gambling. He said that q
friend loaned him enough money to
get start.
Bail was fixed at $4,000 in the
ease and Kelly was turned over to
Sheriff Gillett when he failed to
produce the necessary bond.

Let the People Know

The State Board of Charities fine is it's mem
bership will not retain any measure of public con-
fdence long If its reports penal and charitable
institutions suppressed -ss
Tomorrow at Michigan City one of its reports
will be made public. FeF
That report deals with the charges made by D.
c. Stephenson that he had been brutally treated in
side the prison and that conspiracy Of politicians
and Klan officials existed to forever seal his lips
concerning the activities of both
The Board of Charities was the proper body
to investigate and did investigate upon invitation of
the prison trustees, after it suggested by The
Times.
It made its inquiry in private. It examined
Stephenson alone. What he said or wanted to say,
what other witnesses were called, what effort was
made to find out all the facts are matters which may
or may not be made public.
The prison trustees, meeting board OF par
dons, will make the formal report public. 1t may p
taken for granted that this report will deny the truth
of the Stephenson charges and be exhibited as an
exoneration of the conflict of the prison officials
When that report is made public the board of
trustees should in all fairness to the public, which
is entitled to know make public the report made by
the same board of charities on the Trippet case.
Trippet was convict He was held in the asy-
Iur for the insane connected with the prison His
relatives made very grave charges after his body had
been returned to them
The State Board of Charities made its nvesti-
CATION but its findings have been kept secret. There
seems to be sort of deicacy about taking the public
into it's confidence.
It interprets its duty advisory to the Gov
ernor and not the people Only the prison trustees,
who are responsible for conditions get the report
If the board of charities finds conditions which
are abhorrent, that report is of course criticism
of these trustees whose duty it is to watch as board
of directors might watch the conduct of the instu-
ton.
The trustees now announce that important
changes in the direction of the insane hospital have
been made.
The public is entitled to know why the changes
were made and the reasons.
What did the State Board of Charities find, for
instance in the Trippet case?
What reason is there for suppressing that report?
It seems rather difficult to make some officials in
this State understand that the continued attitude OF
secrecy and suppression has convinced the public that
something is very, very wrong.

Laze, and Justice
by Dexter NJ. Keezer

An empoye of canning company who had prev-
ousy lost the use of eye lost the use of the other
as result OF an accident in the plant where he was
working. He claimed award for total and perma-
nent disability under worknens compensation stat
ute which provided that such an award should be
made if there total disability arising out of the
injury" His claim was opposed on the ground that
he should receive award only for the loss of one
eye because his total disability not due to injury
resulting from the accident in the canning plant but
in part to the earlier injury The employee commended
that he had been able to carry on his work at the
canning factory satisfactorily with the use of only
eye and that the loss of that eye totally disabled
him.
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: A United States Circuit
Court of Appeals held that the man entitled to
award for total and permanent disability on the
ground that his sight. adequate for his Wfrk at the
canning plant, was totally destroyed by 6ept.
