Mex ico, Congressman Marlln IX Olmsted, a Republican member of the Committee on Insular Affairs, delivered a. speech In the House today strongly opposing independence for the Philippine Islands. Mr. Olmsted has visited thfe islands, and says the Filipinos are not ready even for qualified independence. . "In a country where the well-educated or directing class constitute jess than 2 per cent of the population." said Mr. Olmsted, "and where wholesale illiter acy pervalls among the others. It would be impossible to conduct a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. The withdrawal of the United States from the Philippines would -be an act of cowardice and folly, a ana result In conditions w orse than now exist In Mexico." Opposes Independence. Congressman Olmsted vigorously as salled the Jones bill, which provides for qualified independence for the Filipinos from July 4 next and for full independ ence at the expiration of eight years. "The bill in its very preamble." said Mr. Olmsted, "shows the Filipinos are not qualified for self-government, for it provides that, in order to secure lib erty to the people of the Philippines and their posterity the people or the United States do ordain and establish this act of Congress as a constitution for the Philippine Islands.' "What people qualified for self-government would ever permit their consti tution to be prepared, ordained and es tablished by another nation?" asked Mr. Olmsted. 3Ir. Olmsted contended that the pres ent government of the islands is wise, economical and self-supporting and that the Filipinos are forging ahead under American control. Progress Being Made. "T3ie Filipinos are making progress under our control," he said, "and if given sufficient 'time may become, but not now, fitted for self-government. The passage of the Jones bill would destroy American authority in the islands, while it would at the same time Increase the responsibilities and expenses of the United States. Whether we like it or not. the responsibility for the Philip pines rests, upon us. Congressman Olmstead recounted the. different classes of natives on the is lands, their conflicting views and their internal dissensions, and the illiteracy prevailing there. It would be folly, he concluded, to attempt to free the Fili pinos at the present time or at any tlme in the near future. He added: "What would be the condi- lon of the United States today if It were under guaranty to protect Mexico irom aomesuc violence as well -as rrom foreign invasion, fust as this bill pro vides that we shouldbe under guaranty to protect the proposed Philippine re public? And" can anybody doubt that in less than sir months after the pas sage of that bill conditions In the Philippines would be prettr much on a par with those now existing in Mexico? "The United States could not under anv circumstances sit Idly bv and see those tribes and neople fighting among each other; nor could It, cither before or after the expiration of the eight year period, permit anv other power to war upon and seize them. "By withdrawing all our authority over them, as this bill proposes save only in the matter of vetoing'thelr pub lic legislation we should destroy our own power to maintain peace and good government, while our responsibilities would be even greater than they are Castro Closely Observes Parole of Government Clpriano Castro has not abused the1 freedom given him by the United States courts, pending final disposition of ihs appeal from the decision of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor barring him from entry Castro has been under the watchful eye of special Investigators and detec tives of the Department of Justice since his release on ball. These agents mete daily reports and it is declared that Castro has dore nothing to foment revolution in Venezuela, and that he can do nothing without the knowledge of the Department of Justice. f Annual February Sale A Great Variety of Already Made Picture Frames ALL SIZES SPECIAL --SALE FRIDAY At a Fraction of Their Regular Prices Venable's Art Store 604 Ninth Street AH offenses involved In the taking of automobiles for joy riding without the cohsent of the owners will be punish able by the imposition of a sentence of not more than five years in the peni tentiary or a fine ofSl,000, or by both fine and imprisonment, according to the new law under which all such off enses will be prosecuted in the future in Police Court. The last cases under the-old law were tried in the United States branch of the Police Court yesterday. Two Boys on Trial. Under the former mode, of prosecu tion only a slight fine and asentence of six months in the workhouse could be Imposed. Russell Lucas and Charles Steele, boys charged with stealing the machines of several -real estate dealers and Joy riding in them for several hours, were the last to be arraigned un der the old ordinance, as the act with which they were- charged occurred prior to February 3, on which date the new law became effective. Attorney Robert I. Miller appeared for the de fendants and argued that there was in sufficient proof to warrant the convic tion of the boys. The court dismissed the case against them. New Laws Provisions. The new law, under- which persons taking motor and other vehicles with out the consent of owners will be prose cuted in the District in the future, reads as follows: "Any person who, without the consent of the owner, shall take, use, operate, or remoe, or cause to be taken, used, operated, or removed from a garage, stable, or other building, or from any place or locality, or public or private highway, street, lot, fields, lnclosure, or start an auto or motor vehicle and operate or drive, or cause to be oper ated or driven, for his own profit, use or purpose, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $1,000 or Imprisonment not exceeding five jears, or both such fine and imprisonment." Driver of Hearse Fined for Speeding So morose did James Posey, colored. become after driving a hearse at a funeral that he drank a quantity of whisky and gin to drown his sorrow, end then drove his team of horses and hearse on a wild ride through Anacostla. Low spirits was the cause ascribed by Posey "for his rash act in the District branch of the Police Court yesterday, where he was fined 125 for driving last ana cruelty to animals. Policemen testified that Posey and the hearse and horses passed over the Ana costla Driage ana tnrougn ino lownsnip at a greater rate speed man anytning that has traveled -Anacostla streets In years. The horses' were caught on the hill near the Government Hospital for the Insane, where they were found in a state of exhaustion. HOW TRAINED NURSE CURED HER PIMPLES A trained nurse in New York writes: Oct. 17, 1912. "I wa-j troubled with acne (or pimples) for three years. My face was broken out with pimples, and would at times get like raw meat. I tried all sorts of salves and yoaps. I received samples of fceslnol Soap and Res.lnol Ointment, and they helped me very much. After using them I bought the regular size of each, and "my face is now perfectly clear and smooth. My friends are asking me what I used, and I shall bo glad to recommend Resinol." (sign ed) Miss K. Virginia Peterson, Train ed Nurse. 507 W. 170th Street. New York. The soothing, healing- balsams In ntslno Ointment and Resinol Soap, penetrate every tiny pore of the skin, clearing it or all Impurities, driving away eczema, rashes, ringworm, psor iasis, and other emotions, and mak ing pimples and blackheads impos sible, described uy Tnyslclans for eighteen years.

Md" Opinions of family physicians have priority over the orders and opinions of Health Department authorities in cases where the latter have ordered parents to quarantine children with contagious disease symptoms and a pri vate physician subsequently disagrees with the municipal authorities and de clares the child in question to be free of symptoms, according Jo a ruling laid down by Judge Pugh, In the District Branch of the Police Court yesterday. Mrs. Annie E. Tucker, of 113 Fifteenth I street northeast, was arranged in court on a charge of permitting her young son to go' Into the streets after being ordered by the Health Department au thorities to keep him in quarantine. Drs. Fowler, Hunt and Bealc, of the 'Health Department, testified that they examin ed the Tucker child and found that he was "scaling" and showed every evi dence of scarlet fever. They declared they had ordered the mother to keep tWi boy in the house, but on visiting th Tucker home discovered the child was In the street. Witnesses for the defense testified that Mrs. Tucker had been informed by her family physician, who made an examination ,of the child, that noth ing was wrong with him. Dr. L. D. Wilson, of 316 B street southeast, took the stand and testified that he ex amined the child and could find no' evidence of scarlet fever. He had so told the mother, he said. "I am here to help the authorities suppress Infection," said the court in de ciding the case. "But tills situation places this mother 'between the devil and the deep blue sea.' The Health De partment tells her that her child is a subject fit for quarantine, and her fam ily physician tells her the child Is In perfect health. In my opinion she has committed no wrong." Mrs. Tucker was released on her per sonal bond. Rear Admiral Murdock Placed on Retired List Rear Admiral James B. Murdock was placed on the retired list of the Navy today. He was a member of the general board. Rear Admiral Murdock was I born in 1S31 and was appointed to thel Naval Academy when he was fifteen! year? old. He had twenty-four years' I- servlce in the navy.

They see In the proposed 1-cent post ago rate danger to themselves either of redved pay or at any rate of a great obstacle in the way of Increased pay. But that there are substantial rea sons against 1-cent postage apart from its effect on the clerks was declared today by Oscar F. Nelson, of Chicago, president of the National Federation of. Postoffice Clerks. Mr. Nelson charges that the movement Is stirred up by special Interests, by tne man order houses, and not by the general public. . . . Mr. Nelson In an Interview today said: , .. ,,.. "The prime movers and those rcalli behind the effort to establish 1-cent let ter postage are the mall order concerns. They have formed this so-called "Penny Postage League." and are In ducing commercial clubs and business irten's associations throughout the country to petition Congress for it. The farmer and the working man In the city are not complaining about 2-cent letter postage being excessive. Matter for the Future. "One-cent letter postage is a matter for the distant future. It is against public Interests and an improved pos tal service to advocate it at this time. "The most formldagle obstruction to lower parcel post rates and the final taking over of the express companies by the Postoffice Department would be thedeflclt created by 1-cent letter post- "Another phase that enters into the question of penny letter postage and that has not been discussed and is pur posely kept in the background by ad vocates of the rate, is the fact that with 1-cent letetr postage the mall order and business concerns would be enabled to flood .and congest the first mall with circular and advertising matter weigh ing under one ounce that they are now sending as third-class. i Discrimination Impossible. "Ir Is the nractlce now. and the orders in postofflces are. to distribute and de liver first-class mall first. Circular ana advertising matter with third-class pos tage is worked off and delivered as op portunity affords. "But with the advent of penny letter nnD,iri ihn IfnA nf Unrrlmlnat Inn bp- tween the Important letter mall and circular matter would be wiped out and tne cjerKS wouia .nave iiu way w uia crlmlnate between Important personal or business letters and very often seri ous delay to such letters would result when a postoffice was congested .with advertising matter. "I feel that if the general public real ized the effect which 1-cent letter post age, at this time, would have In the way fcof, aRdeltelt: the obstruction It would be to further development of the parcel post and postal savings banking systems, and the deterioration in the present service given letter mall, that Congress would be flooded with protest petitions against 1-cent letter postage."

If any one of the supporting expeditions was in any way responsible for the death of Captain Scott and his four companions, within eleven miles of safety, 'it will not be known until the personal diaries and records of the dead men are placed in the hands of their families. The reticence of Commander Evans and the other survivors, aboard the Terra Nova, today excited the aupslcion of those who visited the relief ship. that there was some sordid story back of what at first seemed wholly a tale of sublimated heroism. Commander Evans said that no records found with the band would be made public until they were given over to the. families of the men. Cap tain Scott, in his last message to the public, vaguely hinted that his return to 'shelter was impeded by shortage of fuel, for which, he said, he "could not account." If the diaries of the other dead men make similar comment, their families. It was hinted today, might demand an investigation through any- of three channels, the admiralty, the Royal Geographical Society, or the North British Antarctic Society. At frequent Intervals on his way south. Captain Scott left caches of blubber and other supplies, to sustain him on the return trip. On two occasions, on his final dash, the commander sent back return par ties. The last of these, from latitude' 87 degrees 30 minutes,, consisted of three men under the leadership of Com mander Evans. .In his lost message. Captain Scott commented pathetically on the shortage of 'fuel and food In his supply depots. Experts on polar eploration agreed that there were two possible explana tions: Captain Scott's depots were tapped by the return parties or the blubber evaporated. wnen tne Tera wova arrived nere. Commander Evans refused to talk about the death of Captain Scott or'to discuss Its causes. . "The shortage of fuel which Captain Scott referred to is of hardly sufficient importance to deal with in a communi cation to a newspaper," was his tart comment.
