DEDICATE A NEW HALL MODELED AFTER THE HOME OF SHAKESPEARE Literary Women of Los Angeles Throw Open the Doors:-‘of a Pic- turesque Structure in Which the Classic Works of_the-Im-. mortal Bard of Avon Will Be Studied and His Memory Hon'p_red OS ANGELES, April 23.—While soft music floated out from an orchestra screened behind palms, Cumnock Hall, at 1500 South Figueroa - street, was formally dedicated this evening by the Women's | Shakespearean Club in the presence of 1200 guests. The decoratfons were big jars and béwls of lilies, stocks, carnations and Cherokee roses, palms, ferns and other greenery. Cumnock Hall is modeled after Shakes- peare’s home. The hall is large, and, al- though simple, is very attractive. On the second floor are study rooms. All of the furniture in the building is made after the massive old English style. The cur- tains on the windows were in keeping with the rooms. “Sweet girl graduates,” varying in age from 17 to 70 years, members of Mrs. Kate Tupper Galpin’s Shakespeare class, re- L 0 0 e e 2 a2 o S S P S S 2 NATION TO BUILD ONE OF WARSHIPS WASHINGTON, April 23.—The House Committee on Naval Affairs to-day amended the provision of the naval ap- propriation bill so that one of the new battleships or armored cruisers must be built In a Government navy-yard. At the méeting yesterday a provision was adopted giving the Secretary of the Na discretionary authority to build any or all of the new ships in Government yards. But the friends of the navy-yard proposition were not satisfied with this, maintaining that, as the Navy Depart- ment officially was opposed to buflding in Government yards, the discretionary au- thority would not be exercised. As a result, the provision was amended to-day so that the Secretary’s authority remains as to build all the ships in Gov- ernment yards, but the additional pro- vision is made that one battleship or one armored cruiser shall be built in such navy-yard as the Secretary may desig- | nate. An appropriation of $175,000 Is made to fit up the vard for ship-building pur- poses, and arrangement is made for a test of the merits of Government con- struction by keeping detalled accounts of labor and material, leaves of absence, etc., so that the.items of cost may be compared with those of construction in private shipyards. The vote directing the building of the ship in & Government yard was: Ayes—Bull, Tayler of Ohio, Roberts of Massachusetts, Meyer of Louisiana, Tate, | Rixey, Kitchin and Vandiver. Noes—Foss, Dayton, Loudenslager, But- ler, Mudd and Cousins. In other respects the naval bill was left as agreed upon yesterday, with two | battleships, two armored - cruisers and two gunboats as-the allowance - of new ships.

Baldwin, who is operating against the Moros on the island of Mindanao, says he is being con- tinually harassed by the enemy. He has captured Sultan Pualo’s fort. General James F. Wade, in command of the American forces on Cebu Island, tele- graphs deprecating the return of Lieuten- ant Colonel Baldwin to Malaban. He thinks a prompt advance will soon settle the difficulty, with little or no bloodshed. The Morcs, he points out, at present are not united, but they assuredly would be so if the Americans relinquished the ground they have now gained. LYNN, Mass., April 23.—Two. Lyna men, William Labell and Albert W. Bertrand, formerly privates in Company D, Twenty- sixth Regiment, U. 8. V., have sent to Senator Lodge a statement of Instances of the application of the ‘‘water cure” in the Philippines that came under their observation. Bertrand was clerk of Com- pany D and regimental clerk at headquar- ters while the regiment was stationed at Panay. Labell says that while at Anilao three nativez were taken by Company D men into a Catholic church and given the “‘water cure.” One of the natives refused to tell where insurgent guns were secret- ed and after he had been given the ‘‘wa- ter cure” he was blindfolded and one of the soldiers fired his gun near the man's head. The instant the gun was fired an- other member of the squad hit the native with a stone and he was told he had been shot. The native then told the United | States soldiers where they could find the guns. Labell gives the names of the of- ficess and privates who participated administering the punishment. Labell further says that in the sum- mer of 1900, while the United States forces were about three miles from HEstancla, Company D captured three natives and gave them the ‘‘water ofire.”” After the men had been fllled with water, blood came from their eves and ears, Bertrand has furnished Senator Lodge with particulars of the alleged disap- pearance and killing of Father Augustine, a Catholic priest. He says it was report- that Fatner Augustine knew where in- rgent gold was burfed. Men from Com- pany D captured him in 190 and dressed him in a uniform of the United States artillery. He was then taken to Banato dnd kept in a well. He refused to tell where the gold was burled, and on the night of December 9 he was taken to a house formerly occupied by the Presi- dente of the village. Upon his arrival there, Bertrand says, the water eure was given him by the ‘“‘water cure squad.” The men proceeded to get nearly all the water out of him, but he did not revive. The men becamefrightened, and a sur- geon was sent for. His services proved unsuccessful, and, Bertrand says, the priest died. Some of the men were sworn to secrecy, and the body was burled in a plat of land used by the troops as a baseball ground. Bertrand says that a non-commissioned officer was seen with the priest's watch and chain, and when the commanding of- ficer learned this they were turned over to him. Bertrand gives the names of the men taking part, and also refers to sev- eral officers. , According to Labell, when Company D was out on a “hike” while stationed at Dungas in July, 1900, the.men were or- dered to burn everything, and see that no grown person escaped. This, Labell says, the men proceeded to do. Labell and Bertrand say that while at Dungas the soldiers came to a hut where a pative wéman had just given birth to a child. The husband was made a prisoner, and the woman and child were dragged from the house and left on the ground. The native shack was then burned, but Labell and Bertrand do not k}?fi(‘lv what became of the woman and child.

T., April 18—The Board of Health this afternoon voted to accept the resignation of Superintendent C. B. Reynolds of the Molokai leper set- tlement and Dr. Richard Oliver, resident physician, on account of a case of neg- lect of a dying leper, which was {nvesti- gated by a special committee of the board. The case was brought to the attention of the Attorney @eneral by a letter from a deper friend of the vietim-ef th lect. A commit of the board went Molokal and held an Investigation in the leper settlement Courthouse. The committee found that a leper named Pilipo Mikila was arrested on a charge of stealing sheep and leaving ,the leper settlement without permission. He was kept in jall without trial from December 4, 1901, to March 12, 1%2, and because ho refused to confess, a companion having confessed, was put in close confinement. The committee finds that an outrage was committed in punishing- the unfortunate man for refusing to confess to.a crime | of which he had not been convicted, and ! adds that Reynolds and Oliver ‘‘are men in charge responsible to the territorial government ahd to humanity for such help and comfort as can be given to! nearly 90 human cings isolated from all the world and slowly dying. We are forced to the conclusion that not | only did Dr. Oliver neglect Mikila, but also that he has neglected his work in other respects. He has shirked grave professional duties, delegating them to a leper who has no professional training. He has kept no data worth mentioning. There is no other place on earth where leprosy can be studled so advantageously as the leper settlement on Molokal. ! The physician stationed there, if he can rise to his opportunities, has good pros- ii)ect%of world-wide fame. We find that r. Oliver has deserved very severe cen- sure.” The board appointed J. D. McVeigh of Honolulu, who was formerly in charge of Quarantine Island, to succeed Reynolds as superintendent. At the same meeting the Board of Health decided adversely to the applica- tion of a French woman named B[arle Leurquin, who wrote from Brussels Miss Alice Roosevelt, asking to be lowed to devote herself to serving the lepens. The letter was forwarded here from Washington. Bishop Gulstan, to whom the board referred the matter, ex- pressed the opinion that there might be inharmony between her and the Sisters now doing such work, and Sister Mari- anne of the Bishop Home at the settle- ment thought that the French woman would not find the fleld she expected for her labors.

C., April 2.—A syn- dicate of Chinese merchants of Vancou- ver has entered into a speculation that connects the two ends of the earth. The plan is for an invasion of the labor mar- ket in South Africa. Several of the b_usl- ress men of Vancouver’'s Chinatown Have decided to go into large operations in Johannesburg. By the Empress of Chin: which arrived from the Orient last night, 200 Chinese were brought over by the local syndicate and are now in the cus- toms. The Orientals come under contract to proceed to South Africa at once and to remain there five years. A contract rate of wages is guaranteed by the Chinese 8ix Companies. ‘When Johannesburg was taken by the British Government it was found that almest all of the mines that had been in operation before the war had been aban- doned and in many places had caved In from want-of care. The Kaffir laborers have become scattered and there is a great demand for cheap workmen. Now thai things are in the contro} of British i Johunnesburg, it is expected that the raines wili be immediately reopenéd and worked and that Chinese laborers will be in demand. To satisfy this expected de- mand and also as a speculation the pres- ent band of coolles has been brought over. Should the venture be profitable, more will follow. There_are no anti-Chinese restrictions in the Transvaal country, and when the war s finally concluded, the director of | the local syndicate believes, there will be openings for Chinese labor of, all kinds— laundrymen, market gardeners, under- ground men and shovel wielders.
