IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Goeraor Taft Admits Newspapers
Were Restrained From Advocat
ing Independence of Islands.
Washington, Feb 19 Among other ques
tions pertaining to the Philippines d'tcussed
by Governor Taft to-day in his testimony
before the Senate Committee on tha Phil
ippines was the attitude of the different re
ligious sets toward one another. Ho said
that generally the relationship is unfriend
ly and that evangelical churches are seek
ing to Becurs a foothold in tho Islands.
Ho also referred to the ecclesiastical courts,
fjjing that under the Spanish rule the
members of the rel'gious orders could elect
to have civil cases In which they were con
cerned tried In those courts rather than In
the regular tribunals
In reply to questions he said that from
twentj-llvo to fifty persons had been de
ported from the Philippines and they wero
all sent to Guam by the military authorities
because thej are considered Irreconcilable
whose presenco Is Injurious.
Ho said, in reply to Senator Allison, that,
so fir as tho Philippine advocated of lndc
or.Jcnce had expressed themselves, nil of
them desired that the United States should
continue Its protection of the Islands; iu
other words, thej wanted Independence with
a United States protectorate.
The witness was asked a great number of
questions about the Malo'os constitution.
Ha said that the convention which adopted
It had been made up largely of rtsldcnts of
Manila, although designated b Aguinaldo
to represent the various Provinces. Com
paratively few of tho Filipinos, be said,
are familiar with the Constitution of tho
United States, and he did not believe that
Aguinaldo is among those who hava this
familiarity.
Governor Taft al-o gave Information con
cerning the newspaper press of the Phil
ippines. Aio tho newspapers there at Ilbortj- to
advocate tho independence of the Islands?'
Hiked Senator Culberson.
"irey are unaer the restrictions imposed
hj the statutes, which w discussed ves
terdaj. Just us others are." tho witness
responded.
Therefore, they are prohibited from such
a courso?"
"That is the effect of tha statute whlla
the War continues."

uay at tho noonday lenten services, which

ui der tha auspices of the Brotherhood of

which wero In their ears; and Jacob hid
them under the oak which was by

Mr. Duckworth said tliat tho cotirbe of
Jacob In hiding rather than destrojin,?
the idols fuund a counterpart In men and
women lo-daj w'io hid away their tins In
secret rather than putting them awaj for
ever. He declared that s.ns were none tbo
lo-.s heinous in the sifaht of God simply
because they were removed from the sight
and knowledge of man. He said all needed
to praj the secret of tho Psalmist, "Cleans!
thou me from secret faults." The speaker
closed with an earnest plea for personal
godliness Mr. Duckworth will continue to
address the meetings during the remainder
of the wek. The meetings are being large

ROOSEVELT ADMIRES
TRUTH AND FRANKNESS
Candidate Admitted His Fondness
for Whisky and Got an
Appointment.
iununr,ic srEciAi
Washington, Feb. IS President Uoosevrit
is growing in favor as a story teller. This
morning there were torn Western men to
ceo him, among them being Delegate Dennis
Fljnn of Oklahoma, accompanied by a
joung m in who had been a soldier in tha
President's regiment of Hough Riders. Tha
Introduction brought to the President's
mind the joke of a United States Senator
about tha KoulJ) Riders The statesman
went Into the President's room and walked
up to the chief executive in an humble kind
of way.
"Mr. Prcs'dcnt." he said, "if there are no
Rough Riders around, may 1 speak to you
for Just n minute? '
The President laughed heartily over tha
Joko ard has told it to several people.
Mr. Fylnn learned soma time ago. Ilka all
others who have come In contact with tha
President, that the chief executive admires
frankm-ss arid truthfulness, and Is willing
to overlook manj things If a man is truth
ful wlt'i him The President, It Is said,
would hive stood b Uen Daniels, who was
nominated as Marshal of Ansona, It the
latter had explained to him cvoij thing la
connection with his life. Delegate Fljnn
had a candidate for an olllce who was1
charged with drinking too much whlsltj.
The President wanted to know something
about the charge, and so Delegate Fljnn
wrote to tho candidate asking for tho facts.
The reply he received was sometning hko
i this:
' My Dear Dennis: I haven t drank a drop
I cf red-ejo for eighteen months and do not
expect to for a long time to come Prior to
1 that lime 1 frankly admit that 1 went all
the pacta In the direction of enveloping va
rious brands nf red-eve. If I missed any
thing at nil It was through Ignorance."
Delegate Flynn gravely laid the letter be
fore the President, believing that the can
didate had no show after his confession.
The President read the letter, said that tha
man was all right and nominated him to
tha olllce he wanted.
