General MacArthur was agaln the wit- s before the committee today and he began his statement with reference to the burning of villages by the native forces in 1899. He sald that the order for this destruc- tlon bad been issued by General Luna and that he found that this was due to the fact that Luna had been a student of Napoleon's campalgns, and had concelyed the idea that he gould compel the American fortes to retreat as the Russians had forced the French conqueror to retreat from Moscow. In this connection General MacArthur read a number of orders issued by himself, directing the conduct of troops in the fleld and enjoining the utmost kindness in the treatment of captured and wounded. In one of these orders the American forces were instructed to kil , 1t possible, the enemy found fighting and” with arms in his hand. and in reply to questions General Mac- Arthur said that in war the prime object is to disable the enemy and to kill him if possible when In battle. Patterson Presses MacArthur. Pressing his question, Senator Patterson asked if the killing of twenty Filipinos to one American was not “‘simply slaughter.” “No,”” replled General MacArthur, ‘“not ‘when your adversary stands up and fights you." it under these conditions, with such disparity of casualties, the Filipinos 6tood up and fought, are they not t bravest people that ever went to war asked Senator Patterson. ““They did not stand up and fight after the first battle,” replied the witnes: ““Then If they did not fight, is it not true, a8 1 before asked, that their killlng was nothing more than slaughter?” ““No, that Is not the case. The war is the most humane that was ever fought. It 1s slmply a question of efficlency agalnst inefficiency.” Explal Chinese Immigration. Senator Carmalk questioned General Mac- Arthur as to his meaning when he stated in his report of 1901 that there was an or- ganized and systematic effort to bave Chi- nese immigration continued for the pur- poss of exploiting the islands. General Mac- Arthur said he had intended to bring out the fact that tho large European and Amer- fcan establishments n the archipelago all demiand Chinese labor, as the Chinaman is the cheapest and most indefatigable laborer in the world, Their hope was, he sald, to continue the flood of immigration from Chifia as they were reluctant to come to the American standard of wa, Speaking of the educated Filipinos, Gen- eral MacArthur eatd that many of them were men of good character and generally showed ability.

MAKE TRIPLES, DOUBLES AND SINGLES Risley, Stone and Burg Get Into Game and Make Themwelves Solid with Fans — Another Game Today. With the heavy odds of experfence and confidence arrayed against thém, the base ball team of Crelghton university yesterday afternoon succeeded in hold{ng “‘Pa’s Pets" down to a score of 11 to 2 In the first game between these teams inton street park. Though the day was disagreeable, very nice base ball was perpetrated, and the [ tair-slzed crowd of Omaba fans who were |on hand to watch, thelr favorites perform were for the first time this year given the treat of geeing some hitting by the leaguers. Up to this time the games played at home have been devold of any appre- clable proportion of stick work, but in yes- terday's contest the men came to thé front handily with a little bunch of twelve nice ones, triples, doubles and singles mixed. Three of the regular team play Hickey, Fleming and Genlns, were given a hollday by Captain Stewart, and their three substitutes made themselves solid with the for Genins, scored two hits and two runs. and yet he is a pitcher. Stone, the utility outflelder who took Fleming's place in left list with three hit: Little Pete Burg, the midget, who plays an emergency Infleld Job, went in at third for Hickey and gave further proof of his rellability and value by handling a few very puzzling hits In Just the correct manmer and with absolute accuracy and no delay. Ome time with a man on first and second the ball was batted slowly down the third base line. Bure rushed It and scooped it up halt way to the plate, then turmed sharp around and caught the runner at second, where two third basemen out of three in similar cir- cumstances of shaste and position would have played the cinch and thrown the bat- ter out at first. Alloway and Brown di- vided the game in the box. Some Creighton Stars. There were some prominent Creighton stars, too. Ed Creighton at third base was the especial’ meteor of his team. He not only fielded a perfect game, bup batted out two pretty hits. Seven clean- assists are chalked to him, and some wére diffcult, being short .hits along third:base lin which B4 charged and fielded~to first m g00d time and well judged locality. Harry Welch played first ‘base and Wag ‘steady as a “vet.” He made «'hit, a run and fifteen putouts at the bag.

The leaguers: were put out in one, two, three order, and meanwhile Welch made a run in the first and O'Keefe in the second. Then Omaba tightened up, or else Wilcox in the box loosened, fof the next inning showed seven runs for Stewart's by O'Keefe and deluge. With the exception of that inning the game was well fought throughout. To- day the two teams meet again, and Harry Welch will biteh for the Creighton men, while Stone will be on first base-in Harry's place.

NO SOLUTION OF THE MURDER Key to Mystery of Heywood's Death 8till Unknown to Police. WILLIAM M. JONES, SUSPECT, IS SILENT Man Undergoes Thorough “Swenting,” Lincoln Arrested on Suapleion, but Throws No the Deed. DETROIT, Mich., April 10.—The police admit tonight that they have not reached a solution of the murder of George H. Hey- wood, head bookkeeper of the Michigan Malleable Iron works, whose battered and liteless body was found at daylight this morning within 100 feet of his home on Am- herst street Willlam M. Jones, who roomed in Hey- wood's home and who was arrested on sus- picion this morning, was still in custody to- night, although a ‘“‘sweatbox” examination lasting all day and this evening failed to bring from him any damaging admissions. Mrs. Heywood, who wae escorted to police headquarters at noon and closely examined | this afternoon and evening, was permitted to return to her home tonight. The off- cers say that no information was secured from her that would throw any light on the cause of her husband’s death. Heywood's murderer first shot him and then crushed in his forehead with some heavy instrument. The bullet took effect behind hie right ear and in itself would have caused death. The murderer then ap- parently stooped over hls victim and dealt bim a blow on the forehead. Find Suspicions Hammer. After Jones' arrest officers searched his room at the Heywood house. Jones was a plumber and made a specialty of rei.iring gas etoves. In his kit of tools was found a machinist's hammer which the officers as- serted fits perfectly the hole in Heywood's forehead. In a lot near where the body was di covered a revolver was found which Hey- wood's young son at first positively identt- fied as belonging to Jones. Later In the day, however, the lad was nbot so sure of the identification. Jones was very cocl and collected through- out his sweating and told freely all he sald he knew of the tragedy. During the exam- ination of Heywood's little daughter, Kate, by the officers the fact was developed that she heard a shot fired about 3 o'clock this morning. The officers have located persons. who saw Heywood, who attended a dance yesterday evening three blocks from hie home at 2:55 o'clock. Mrs. Heywood told the officers that at 3 o'clock in the morning she gave Jones a headache powder. Search for the Husband. As her husband did mot return during the night Mrs. Heywood was very much alarmed, and, arising early, she sent her oldest boy, Earl, aged 12, out to see if he could find any trace of his father. The little chap had gone but a short distance from the house when he discovered the liteless-remains-of the parent. The police wero notified and the body was removed to the morgue and placed beside the re- mains of Miss Jennette, who had also been murdered but a few hours before. An examination of Heywood's body and clothes showed that robbery was not the motive. There was but the one wound, evidently made with a heavy blunt fnstru- ment, a8 It penetrated the skull and left an ugly cut, tectives were immediately put to work onthe case and they arrested William F.

On her way to the car Mrs. Heywood sald, in ans- wer to a reporter's questions, that eo fi as she knew Jones had been in his room all night. She sald that twice during the night he wanted 16 go out and search for Mr. Heywood, but that she advised him not to las he did not know where to search and it would be useless. g0 either time. LINK OF EVIDENCE FOUND Blood-Stained Hatchet in Prof Miller's Room Discovered by Poll Accerdingly bhe dla not DETROIT, Mich., April 10.—What the police consider to be a strong link in the chain of circumstantial evidence that they |are weaving about Prof. Joseph M. Miller, aged 47, a music teacher and a married man with a family, who is under arrest on suspicion of brutally murdering Miss C rie M. Jemnett on Thirteenth street just before midnight last night, was discovered this evening. It Is a Dbloody hatchet, which was found in the drawer of a table in Miller's kitchen. Prof, Miller was the girl's music teacher and had paid her such marked attentions that ber father had asked him to ke away from the house. When he was raigned at the police station thie mordlng what are supposed to be blood stains were found on his shirt sleeves, his trousers, shoes, hat and overcoat. A towel was found In bis kitchen with what are sup- ine on it. When he tion of the stains on his clothing he Girl's Necek Broken. M Jennett, who w 22 years old and who would have become a mother in a few months, was most brutally done to death just before 12 o'clock last night. She was felled by a terrific blow on thé head, which broke her neck, and her throat wi eut from ear to ear. Her mutilated body was found in this condition in & lonely spot on Thirteenth street. It was taken to the morgue and not identified until this morning. Miss Jennett left her home last evening to attend a meeting of the Rebekah lod of which she was a member. She left the meeting about 10 o'clock and was not seen agaln alive. Her parents were alarmed at cflutln Ill “;m body. sub- | offered no ber not coming bome and when they heard of the wmurder Mr. Jennett hurried to the morgue and there identified the mutilated He told the police of the girl's infatua- tion for Prof. Miller and the teacher was placed under arrest. Miller took the sit- uation very coolly when he was examined at the station. Nothing could be learned from questioning bim. He was then or- dered to take off his clothes and on the shirt the police found blood stalns. Miller . of them. More staias were found on ot vu;r-uu. Mil- ler still maintained absolute silence them. It was then decided to lock hint nv Man Faints Twice. While Le was being registered on the blotter the music teacher collapsed and fainted. He was revived only to faint agaln as the officers conducted him to a cell. Miller left his' house last evening to at- tend a lodge mepting in Baker street, and returned gbout, 11:20 o'clock appareatly cool and ndfstyrbed. He alleges tbat he did not leave thg meeting until 11 o'clock, but several pessons who were there say he left between 10 and 11 o'¢lock. The murder was committed about five minut atter 11 o'clock as near as the polide can learn. It would have been possible for Mil- ler to go from the hall on Baker street to the scene of the crime in twenty minute: This was demonstrated tonight by & re- porter, who made the trip in sixtoen min- utes. From the location of the crime to Miller's home {s but a comparatively short walk. While the police think they have strong circumstantial evidence against the suspect they admit they are still far short of enough to convict him of the murder. Nothing can be galned from Miller by questioning, as he simply insi that he knows nothing of the murder. An autopsy today revealed the fact that within three or four months the girl would have become a mother. It also furnished many evidences of the brutality with which the poor girl was murdered. In addition to tho other ghastly wounds on her head her neck had been broken. Prof. Miller, who is under arrest on suspicion of being the girl's murderer, left his house, accord- ing to his wife, at § o'clock last night, say- ing he was going to a lodge meeting. At 11:20 p. m., according to his wife, he re- turned apparently cool and collected. ATTACKS LEGISLATURE'S ACT Address to Sodth Dakota Voters For ulated by Demo-Pop Committee Assails Election Law. MITCHELL, 8. D, April 10.—(Special Telegram.)—The two subcommittees, ap- pointed by the democratic and populist state central committees, to formulate an address to the voters of the state, finished their work in .hat direction this morning. The address was drafted by the democrats and it was endorsed by the popullst com- mittee, the latter agreeing to call their state convention at Huron at the same time the democrats meet there for nomination of state officers. The main feature of the address will refer to the action of the last legislature in pi ing a law preventing the placing of the name of a candidate twice on one ticket, thus knocking out fusion. The address will make the most of this feature, though other matters of not so much importance will be reviewed. The committee is exceedingly quiet about its views as to the result of the combined convention, in fact, baving nothing to say. Do Homor to General Torrance. DEADWOOD,: 8.

GOQERNOR STANLEY, KANSAS, PRESIDENT Wil Wage Campaign of Education for Reciprocal Relations with For- n Nations—John L. Webster of Omaha a Director. el CHICAGO, April 10.—Representatives of sixty manufacturing and other industrial cstablishments of the United States met here today and organized the National Reciprocity league. W. E. Stanley, gov- ernor of the state of Kansas, was elected president. The object of the organization, which I8 non-partisan, is to wage a cam- palgn of education concerning the “urgent need of reciprocal trade relations with foreign natlons.” In a word these manufacturers say thex are manufacturing in excess of the com- sumption of the home market. They want the United States government to establish trade relations with other countries that will throw open the markets of the world for the disposal of their goods. The United States senate will be asked to ratify at least nine treaties that provide for recip- rocal arrangements in the trade relations of the United States and various countries of the eastern hemisphere. M. B. Hulet of Topeka, Kan., was chosen secretary of the new league and B. B. Swift of Chicago treasurer. The following board of directors was elected H. C. Carver, Chicago, chairman; G. Wat- gon French, Davenport, Ia.; C. B. Hoffman, Kansas; James Deering, Chicago; Henry L. Little, Minneapolis; L. O. King, St. Louls; A. B. Farquihar, York, Pa.; W. S. Thomas, Springfield, O.; H. A.

DEPEW FAVORS THE OLD WAY New York Semator Opposes Election of Senators by Direct Vote, WASHINGTON, April 10.—An effort was made late today in the semate to obtain an agreement for a vote on the Chinese exclusion bill, but it was unsuccessful. The measure was under discussion during the entire session except for about an hour, in which time the postofice appropriation bill was considered and passed. Three speeches were made against the Chinese bill in {ts present form, Mr. Dilllngham of Vermont concluding his remarks and Mr. Stewart of Nevada and Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts &tating their objections tb the bill. Mr. Stewart said he would vote for the measure if it was the best that could be obtained, as he favored the ex- clusion of Chinese laborers, but he was opposed to many of its provisions. Mr. Hoar announced his vigorous opposition to the bill, declaring that he never. would vote for it. Early in the session Mr. Depew spoke briefly against the bill providing for the election of senators by popular vote. He oftered the following amendment to the resolution: Depew's Proposed Change. The qualifications of citizens entitied to vote for United States senators and repre- sentatives in congress shall be uniform in all the states and congress shall have power to enforce this article by appro- priate legislation and to provide for the registration of citizens entitled to vote, the conduct of such elections and the cer- tificate of the result. In part Mr. Depew said the proposed amendment under consideration proposes to make the senate a popular body and re- verse the principle upon which the govern- ment has existed down to the present time. Mr. Depew sald if in the election of United States eenators a small oligarchy in any state can send here representation equal to that of great states like New York which have manhood suffrage; if etates in | which half of the voters are disfranchised are to have an equal voice in this body with states like Pennsylvania, of five o ten times their population and with n hood suffrage: if New York, which ¢ because of its manhood suffrage, 1. votes, 15 to be neutralized In leg affecting her vast interests by Mi: casting 55,000 votes because the m i.i..y of her citizens wre disfranchised—then the situation becomes intolerable. Metal Mail Boxes. At the conclusion of routine business Mr. Magon, chairman of the committee on post- offices and postroads, called up the po office appropriation bill and its considera- tion was begun. Mr. Tillman of South Carolina offered an amendment directing the postmaster gen- eral to buy metal boxes of uniform size for the use of the patrons of the rural free de- livery service, at & cost not exceeding 50 cents each, and to furnish them to the pat- rons of the service at cost. The amend- ment was adopted and the postoffice appro- priation bill was passed. Mr. Dillingham of Vermont then con- tinued his speech begun yesterday in op- position to the Chinese exclusion bill. He maintained that some provisions of the bill were unconstitutional and instanced that section which referred to children of Ohinese parents born In this country. Fil- ipinos, mixed with Chinese blood, he could not come to the United States the Philippines under this bill. He thought the mixed blood Fillpinos ought to have the right to come to this country, but under the pending BNl they would not have that right. Mr. Stewart of Nevada opposed the bill | In its present form. He sald that not 10,- | 000 Chipamen had come to this country upon their own resburtes. Nime-tenths of them had been brought here under con- tract and the contracts were of “tife most borrible llurrlulon reserve Cltizsenship. Mr. Hoar said he was not indifferent to anything which threatened the lofty quality of American citizenship and he regarded the pending question as a question af-| tecting the quality of our citizenship. “It is mot race,” sald he, “but it is Cegradation that we ought to strike at and keep out of this country if we can. The objection to the legislation proposed is that you strike at men, not because of their individual degradation, but because of race."” The advocates of the pending measure, he said, malutained that every Chinaman should be kept out of the United States, even if he possessed every known virtus, and all other foreigners should be admitted even though they may have every known vie “That,” said he with great feeling, “is a stab at the essential principle upon which this republic is founded. I will not mar the close of my life by joining In such an act.” An amendment was read eliminating sec- tion 56 of the bill and substituting a pro- vision that nothing {n the act should be construed to prevent any forelgn ex- hibitor from any country from bringing to the United States such assistants as might be necessary to enable him to make an exhibition at any falr or exposition au- thorized by the government GROSVENOR FOR CUBAN BILL Declares Present Tarifi on Sagar ix Unreasonable and Demands Change in Schedule. WASHINGTON, April 10.—The debate on the Cuban reclprocity bill in the house to- day was devold of enlivening features. The most notable speech of the day was made by Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio. e answered the critics who have charged him with in- consistency by saying that reciprocity was sound republican doctrine and that tariff schedules were not sacred. He predicted that the time would come when there would be an inexorable demand for revision of the present rates Mr. Hitt of Ilinois, chairman of the for- eign affalrs committee, reported back the Cochran resolution of inquiry calling on the secretary of state for information re- garding the alleged removal by Canadian officers of landmarks along the Alaskan border. The resolution was adopted with- out division. He reported back the Sulzer resolution, calling upon the secretary of state for the report of the governor of | Louisiana and all other correspondence re- lating to the establishment of a British base of supplies near Loulsiana and the shipment of horses and mules for the use of the British army In South Afrfca. The resolution was adopted The house then resumed the consideration of the Cuban reciprocity bill. Mr. Grosve- nor of Ohlo, the first speaker today, made an earnest speech in favor of the bill. The president and his cabinet, he sald, favored Icgislation on the line of the pending méasure. He sald with great emphasis that he had never yet permitted himself to worship the tariff system as a fetich-not to be touched or examined. He warned the young repub- Heans about him that if they believed the present tariff schedules were to be forever defended they had as well retire to private life. The republican party, he announced. must not chain itself to the tariff schedules. With some feeling Mr. Grosvenor then answered the charges of inconsistency brought against himself. He called atten- tion to the remarks on reciprocity made by President Roosevelt at Charleston yester- day, which he described as “the best speech the president ever made,” and humorously remarked that he wondered at the temerity of the president in making such statements while republicans in the house were de- nouncing such statements as party disloy- | alty The present tariff on raw sugar, clared high beyond all reason.

If the beet sugar people had an udustry that could not stand against the world with $1.40 a hundred protection, then {it had better be abandoned In conclusion Mr. Grosvenor denied that | the pending bill constituted an assault upon the protective theory. Mr. Weeks of Michigan followed with a speech in opposition to the bill. He argued that there was no obligation upon us. (o ald Cuba. It was ridiculous, he contended, to say that because we freed Cuba at the cost of hundreds of lives and millions of dollars, that therefore we were under a load of debt to the island he de- LAmi-Kawf The Children, Heavén Bless Them!
