Representative Miller, of Min
nesota, Calls for Appoint
ment of'House Commit
tee of Inquiry
MISRULE IS ALLE.GED
Resolution Repeals Former Charges
of Maladministration In
Islands
IiV a Staff Corrtspondt nt
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Reprcsonta-tlve
Clarence 13. Miller, of Minnesota,
who spent last summer In the Philip
pines, todny fired the tlrst congressional
(run In the flRht the Itepubllcnns will
warn against the administration of Gov
ernor Hurton Harrison In the Philippine
Islands. Mr. Miller offered a .resolution
providing (or an Investigation by a com
mittee composed of three Democratic nnd
two rtepubltcan members of tho House
of Representatives.
The preamble to the resolution states
that "It has been asserted on competent
authority" that n large number of Span
ish War veterans who have been In civil
ecfvlce In' the Islands have recently boon
removed without cause and without no
tice." Also, that In recent appointments
nnd l-emovals from ofllce In the Islands
the civil service rules have teen flagrantly
-violated. A third nssertloh Is that the
government of the Islands has been de
moralized nnd Inefflclont, grossly Incom
petent and destructive of free Institu
tions. The fourth Is that all the wild
or uncivilized Inhabitants have asked that
the American Government nnd American
olHclals remnln over them, and thnt they
be not subjected to any government by
Filipinos: nnd .the fifth Is thnt the pres
ent government "Is both un-American and
antl-Amerlcan.
SEEKS SPECIAL INQUIRY.
Mr. Miller proposes thnt the special
House committee shall Investigate:
The civil service and employes
thereof.
The efficiency of all governmental
institutions and the employes therein.
The conditions, govenitnent nnd
control of alt non-Ghristlnn peoples and
tho roglons they Inhabit. v
Tho feelings nnd sentiments of nn
tivo Inhabitants toward American
sovereignty and Amerlcnn-cltlzclishlp
and tho propaganda of political parties
now active In tho Islands.
The health and sanitation of the
islands. Including all boards having
to do with the health sen-Ice, educa
tional teaching force nnd the clll
elency of the oducatlonal system.
REITERATES TAFT'S COMMENT.
Upon proposing his resolution Mr. Mil
ler explained lta purpose and defended
nnd approved the statements made by
ex-President Taft regarding tho condi
tions in the Philippines. He said:
"This resolution is offered with tho
earnest hope that it will pass and that
on Investigation most thorough nnd
searching will be made. In the llrst
place, no authoritative commission rep
resenting the Amrlcan people ever made
a real Investigation of the conditions In
the Islands or ever ascertained from the
people or the various subdivisions of tho
people their wishes respecting the kind
of government to be carried on there. I
made this Investigation myself two years
ago and again this year, and firmly be
lieve that the American people will be
tremendously Interested In having a com
mission report to them the facts.
"It seems to bo the present Intention o
dispose of Phlllpplno matters In political,
partisan manner. Thnt Is n fatal mis
take. Tho Philippine Islands, their fu
ture and the welfare of the people should
bo settled nnd disposed, of In accordance
with the exact facts. Nobody pretends
that Congress possesses these facts. Such
Independent Investigations as I have been
making have convinced me that the
American people ought to know the truth
about things In tho Islands. If this com
mission Is authorized, It should do Its
work most thoroughly and conclusively.
CHAOS IN ISLANDS.
"Many of our leading citizens have
been greatly alarmed over reports com
ing from tho Islands, which reports all
indicate that our present government has
fallen Into complete chaos and that every
thing in the government Is antl-Amerlcan
there, subjecting American citizenship
innd sovereignty to abuse and attacks,
such as to make every American posi
tively blush for his country and the honor
of his people.
"The present Secretary of War, acting
upon such meagre Information as It was
thought advisable by political persons to
let reach him, has seen tit to deny In
the public press statements made by Mr.
Taft. Everybody at all acquainted with
things In the Philippines knows that Mr,
Taft Is absolutely correct, literally, math
ematically correct, In everything he said.
"This commission should make an In
.yeatlgstlon relative to such matters and
give a report that the truth may be
known to the American people. It ap
pears that there will bo no opportunity
before any of the committees about to
consider tho Philippine question for the
truth respecting the matters thero to be
presented at this time. There has been
two years of the present Administration
in the Islands, and there Is now given
an opportunity to determine how capable
are these people who have been exer
cising the power of government."
RICHMOND TO HEAR VERDICT
Rector of St. John's Will Know De
cision of Episcopalian Triers Today
The Rev, George Chalmers Richmond
will this, afternoon hear the verdict of
the three triers who listened for more
than two months to testimony at the
ecclesiastical trial, through which Louis
B, Runk, the church advocate, hoped to
prove that the rector of St. John's parish
had been guilty of conduct unbecoming
a clergyman and of violation of hla or
dination vows.
Chancellor Henry Budd received word
a few days ago that the triers had fin
ished their month's labor of reading the
1(00 typewritten pages of testimony and
would be ready to announce their verdict
today. The chancellor thereupon an
nounced that he would hold court at t
o'clock this afternoon to receive the re
port of the Jury.
go much interest in the case has been
manifest among clergymen and laymen
of the diocese of Pennsylvania that it is
expected a large crowd will be present
at the opening of court in the Epis
copal Church of St. Luke and the
Epiphany.

CHINESE JOURNALIST
DEFENDS YUAN SHI-KAI
Editor Says Establishment of
Constitutional Monarchy
Necessary to Country
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. Wang Shi
Young, Shnnghnl newspaper editor, wrote
tho following for tho United Prea today
explaining tho chnngo of government In
China. He arrived In the United Stntcs
from China only a few days ago.
By WANG SHI YOUNG
President Yuan Slit Knl has recently
been unfairly criticised In connection
with tho monarchical movement. Tho
change was urged by n largo majority of
tho Intelligent Chinese, who desired to
strengthen their Government, foreseeing
the Instability of tho sham republic. The
restoration of pence and stnble govern
ment has been largely due to the strong
personality of the man now at the head
of tho Government. Good citizens feared
tho passing of Yuan might also meun
dlsappenrnncc of settled government.
Having the United states ns n pro
tector Mexico could nfford the gradual
development of her Republican form of
administration by civil war, nssosslmi
tlon and other violent methods, without
fear of foreign intervention. But China,
whoso neighbor, Japan, is ever ready to
crush her before she can grow strong
enough to defend herself, cannot Indulgo
In this political luxury. This Is tho Im
pelling reason behind the movement for
a governmental change.
Yuan Shi Kal left the matter to the
people. They were given n right to ex
press their opinion by a referendum.
The decision was for restoration of a
monarchical government, which, however,
will bo strictly constitutional, InstPad of
despotic, as formerly.
It is not claimed that every man In
China voted, tho qualifications of the
voters being clearly defined in tho law.
Although the referendum Is a recent ex
periment In western countries, China has
made a splendid beginning nnd tho voice
of tho people has been recorded as never
before.
There will be no trouble In China unles3
Japan desires It. Tho Chinese people
believe In recourse to reason rather than
to force. They havo reasoned It is
better to glvo up a shnm republic nnd
establish a constitutional monarchy.
They don't wish to call a dog a canine.
The recent rebel attack on n training
cruiser at Shanghai does not Indicate tho
people view the change with disfavor,
but tho fact that the rebels were driven
away almost Immediately Is conclusive
proof the public wns against their plan.
Even In ordinary times there are persons
who never hesitate to make local trouble.
In order to profit thereby. Their agents
are found lr certain Mood. afflicted dis
tricts trying to enlist the support of
homeless men.

FEDERAL-MADE ARMOR
OR NO PREPAREDNESS
Congressmen to Defeat Wilson's
Program Unless They Win
Government Ownership
Fight
Rv a SlaSt Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-"Tako tho
private profit out of war" Is the slogan
ndopted by tho House Democrats, who
are attacking the "armor plate trust."
Today they began the formation of a
combination to defeat tho Administration
program unless they win In their plnn
to put through legislation for Govern-"
mont-owned armor plants and powder
plants.
The entire situation nnd the plrin.s for
n combine are outlined by Representa
tive Van Dyke, a new Minnesota' Demo
crat, who has taken a bitter dislike to
the spectre of the armor trust.
Says Representative Van Dyke:
"While It appears thnt the preparedness
program will bo carried as a nonpartisan
measure, still tho odium attached to the
raising of revenue for the putting Into
effect of tho proposition will be attached
to tho Democratic party, because tho
responsibility of passing such laws as
are essential to obtain tho money neces
sary will necessarily fall on the shoulders
ot the party of the Administration.
"I believe that if tho Government un
dertakes to spend hundreds of millions
of dollars for the building of bnttleshtpa
and the manufacture of munitions, that
wo should receive a dollar's worth of
goods for every dollar expended. It has
been stated, and rightly so, thnt the
Government can manufacture armorplato
nnd other munitions of wnr at less cost
than wo are paying nt the present time
for the Identical articles."
Ropresoutntlvo Van Dyko presents fig
ures which show thnt $33,000,000 would
havo been saved to tho country had ar
morplate been mado by tho Government
since 1S87.
"If wo desire to determine as to tho
exact size of an nrmy nnd navy neces
sary for defense," continued Mr. Vnn
Dyke, "the first step Is to eliminate all
agltntlon prompted by selfish Interests,
and this can be done only by taking the
private profit out of war.
"I believe there will be a sufficient
number of Democrats who aro willing to
refute to vote for uny plan for Increasing. ,
tho navy and army unless provision Is
mado for tho procuring of Government- i
ownen ammunition plants, armorplato
factories nnd for the .Government build
ing of our battleships."

Democrats Expect to Carry Res

Watchful of Minority
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Polltlcal strife
In Congress todny switched from tho
Houbo to the Senate, to which body went
the resolution extending wnr taxes an
other year. With the 16 Democratic
majority nnd no Republican filibuster
threatened, its final enactment before
adjournment tonight was In prospect.
President Wilson will probably approvo It
tomorrow.
Senate Republicans centred their fire
on the proposal for a year's extension
of tho taxes. They Insisted upon limit
ing It to three or six months. Like the
House debate yesterday, politics, tariff,
stamp taxation, treasury deficits nnd al
most every conceivable Issue were In
jected Into the struggle.
Chairman Simmons, of tho Finance
Committee, has charge of the majority's
cohorts. Ho mado a formal report show
ing necessity for extending the emer
gency taxes to prevent a treasury deficit.
A holiday recess of Congress tonight.
If the war tax resolution passes the Scn
ato today, was planned.
House Democrats today were ordered
to remain here until the Sennto disposes
of the war tax. Tho slim margin of 16
In tho voto of 205 to 189, by which they
passed the resolution yesterday, vividly
Impressed necessity of closo cohesion of
the majority. The Democrats nre con
vinced they must not only remain on the

cans taking temporary control at any
moment.

Doctor Conwell declared that 'thUfiii
Is not fnr distant when Phlladelplila'iTUl
bo known ns the best-educated cltf l
tho country, nnd he predicted that' la
the near future the pcoplo will' real
tho value of such Institutions at' Tcarfi
University, the Drexel Institute, lit
School of Industrial Arts and othtr'ilsfr
Hnr Institutions, nnd Inaugurate a mort;
ment for tho merger of all the chooS
Into one large Institution under'tKe
trol of the city. - '
"There Is no reason In the world t7
we should not have a municipal collet
Just the same ns municipal high sthoolJ."
he said. "Ninety per cent, of th youm
men nnd women leaving the high scboch
of the city today aro forced to roto
wprk simply because they cannot 'ttttri
to go to n university. They dejr
higher education and they ought torttH
tho means of obtaining It throush.'
municipal college under the control'.ci
tho city government. Such a' 'fcotlW
should be adapted to . needs' of V
people nnd afford them .very opportunity
of attaining thnt education whUh "to
desire. It would fill a long felt taant-B
this community, and I venture to' M
thnt tho time is not very far dUttot
when the city will have such an Insti
tution by tho merging of al schools
the city like ours, thereby giving Thlli
delphia the means and have lt.resna
