Such a theory is based on mere pref.
udice and is a gross injustice to the
efficiency and integrity of a loyal
and devoted service.
The foundation of civil government
in the Philippines including the civil
service, were laid by officers of the
Army of Occupation in 1899 and 1900.
Their work was varied and compre-
hensive.
Exemplary Work
1t was devotion to duty, and high
degree of ability.
In every field of activity for the
rehabilitation of the Philippines to
a condition of law, order and prog
ress the work was done with eXem-
plary thoroughness, integrity and dis.
patch, to the broad experience and
matured ability of Generals Otis and
Macarthur much of the credit is due.
After the civil government estab-
lished by Mr.. Taft, assumed control,
many army officers were appointed
to important civil officer.
Speaking from personal experience
and intimate observation, do not
hesitate 20 assert that, both in Cuba
and the Philippines, officers of the
United States army and navy were
largely instrumental in laying the
foundation of civil government and
If the edifices constructed on these
foundations have not measured up to
the highest expectations. the fault
certainly does not lie with the army
and navy.

SCIENTISTS TRY
TO UPSET idea
OF RELAT|v|TY
Einstein's Theory Attacked
in Tests Now Being
Made.

BIZ United Press
CLEVELAND, O., June Awhile
plans are being made to bring to-
gether a jury of the master-mihds OF
science experiments are under way
here and in Chicago to throw into
discard the life work of Einstein and
his theory of relatively.
Generally accepted by scientists
for years, Einstein's theory says all
motion is absolute and that no ex-
pertinent will reveal the motion of
the earth through the ether of space
or, as scientists term it, "the ether
drift"
In a tiny, darkened building on
Case University campus, here, Pro
fessor Dayton C. Miller, who claims
to have already dealt the relatively
theory a severe blow, is seeking to
prove conclusively his contention
that there is an "ether drift"
Again Make Tests
Meanwhile, two University of Chi
cago scientists, working six feet
under ground, have started expert
ments to test the Einstein theory.
They are Professors A. A Michel
son and Henry Gordon Hale, who
claim to have already obtained mega
tive results and are now engaged in
a second series of tests.
The worlds leading scientists will
meet in Chicago late this year to
hear reports of the Cleveland and
Chicago experiments and to definite
ly Judge whether Einstein's life work
is to be cast into the discard.
Apparatus used in the experiments
is capable of measuring one one
hundredth of lightwave length or
approximately one fiye-millionth Of
an inch.
Professor Miller's startling expert.
ments, while working atop Mount
Wilson in 1920, have caused split
in the scientific world.
Three Claims
Besides upsetting the foundation
of the Einstein theory, Professor
Miller's results, if correct, have done
three things never before accom-
plished.
First, he revealed the absolute
speed at which our sun is moving
through space.
Second, he revealed the direction
in which the sun is moving. (The
earth and all the planets are, of
course, carried with the sun at the
same speedy
Professor Miller's work reveals
the motion of our whole universe of
stars through space.

Pivotal Centers
In the United States in the old
days of the Indian wars. the frontier
outposts of the army became pivotal
centers of the pioneer settlements.
There was no organized highly
trained body of civil servants in the
United States in those days. The
army was the one thoroughly trained
and disciplined organization on the
spot.
Officers were as accustomed to de-
fer to superior authority as they
were TO exact obedience from their
subordinates. BY the very nature
of their duties they automatically

many respects paralleled to those that

Banditry. pillaging, and other law
lessness were rife throughout the
archipelago. There was no security
of life or property. The charge of
re-establishing law and order and an
effective government fell to the mill

port in history TO the theory that an

The young women were copying the reg istration number of the car and Gasperino pushed them. the attorney said. They walked a short distance before he drove after them and gave them a ride back to New Britain. Ballachino. who was in court to testify for the state. was scored by Attorney Greenberg for his part in the affair. but MT. Woods replied the Ballachino actually saved one Of the young women from a terrible experience, by pulling Gasperino away from her in the lonely spot near the reservoir.
 Attorney Greenberg called Judge Roche's attention to the fact that Gasperino IS married and comes of respectable. though poor, family. Poor, but honest, I suppose" MT. Woods remarked. "Yes. poor. but honest" the attorney replied, land the disgrace of being in police court in such case as this together with the reaction on Gasperino's wife is considerable punishment in itself"
 Judge Roche said the offense was serious. The young women did not use good judgment. He asked Mir. Woods if he had anything to say relative to the penalty. T think he should be fined $50. and costs" was the reply. but Attorney Greenberg argued that such a penalty would be entirely too severe. The assault actually was technical, he said. and relative to Mir Woods claim that to put two young women out of an automobile such distance from town in the middle of the night and tell them to walk was "reprehtnsi- ble conduct" Attorney Greenberg said that simply because the young women said they walked a mile does not prove it. Gasperino. he said, told him they walked only a short way before he overlook them.

G|RLS' ASSAILANT
 SCORED IN COURT
Gasperino Fined $25 for Attack Near Pennington Reservoir

Upbraided by Prosecuting Attor- ney J. c. Woods. who classed him as "a scoundrel from whose shoul- ders no wings are growing" Peter Gasperino, aged 22. of 1925 Stanley street. was fined $25 and costs by Judge H. P. Roche in police court today on the charge of assaulting two young women in an automobile early yesterday morning near Farm ington reservoir. Replying to At- torney A. A. Greenberg's statement that Gasperino had every reason to believe that the young women were of the type who would not repulse improper advances. Mr. Woods de- clared that regardless of the repu- tation they might have, no man was justified in punching them and throwing them to the ground. ito treat them like beast.'
 Attorney Greenberg said he had advised Gasperino to plead guilty to the charge of assault for the reason that an examination of the circum- stances shows the existence of 8 technical assault in that Gasperino in fit of anger at his disappoint- ment in the attitude of one of the young women towards his advances, pushed her. but the punishment should not be severe in view of the circumstances, which he reviewed from the time Gasperino was ap- proached by Andrew Ballachino of s7 Spring street. who knew the young women, until the alleged as- sault took place.
 Ballachino told Gasperino the young women would not object to an automobile ride in the middle of the night, and because of this assurance,
