NT FIE MDS SENATE FAVORS SELF-CONTROL FOR THE PHILIPPINES. HITCHCOCK BILLWINS 52 TO 24 Measure Will Now Go to House Backed By President and Will Be Pressed for Passage. Washington.—The Philippine bill, which would extend to the islands a greater degree of self-government and would authorize the president to grant them absolute independence within four years, has been passed by the senate, the vote standing 52 to 24. Verious democratic senators led by Chairman Stone of the foreign relations committee, tried unsuccess fully to secure amendment of certain features of the independence clause, but in the end the democrats, joined by six progressive republicans, voted solidly for the measure. It is understood the bill will go to the house with the backing of Presi dent Wilson, and will be pressed for early passage. There has been little indication of what action the house will take, but administration leaders seem confident that the bill, including the independence feature, which dem ocratic senators declare squares it with the Baltimore platform, would have the approval of the house dem ocratic majority. This is the first important adminis tration measure to pass the senate this session. Senator Hitchcock in troduced it in the senate December 7 in the form in which it was agreed upon last session. It was promptly; referred back to his committee and a favorable report was made Decem ber 17. Thereafter he pressed for its constant consideration. At no time did he endeavor to curtail debate, but no opportunity to advance the meas ure was neglected. As the Hitchcock bill is viewed here it may become a very important contribution to international politics. The involvement of the United States in the world affairs may be measurably lessened by the definite statement that Americans intend to withdraw from the far east within a definite short period. It is also sug gested that the decision to grant the Fillipinos self-government in a nega tion of the spirit of conquest which cannot fail to impress South Ameri can republics favorably. Another Raider Roaming Seas. New York—Nine sea raiders of the type of the Moewe have been fitted out by the Germans and one of them, which escaped from Kiel on New Year’s day with the Moewe, has since been preying on British com merce with as much success as the Appam’s captor, according to a story told here by Mrs. Francis Fuller, wife of the British governor general of Ashanti. Mrs. Fuller was one of the ninety seven passengers of the Appam who arrived here from Norfolk. Mrs. Fuller declared that one of 1 the German officers, who came aboard the Appam, was authority for the statement that the Germans had equipped the nine raiders at Kiel. She said he told her the Moewe and the other raider which escaped the British patrol, passed w-ithin a stone’s throw of three British cruis- | ers within a few hours after they left the Kiel canal. All the British of ficers and seamen agreed that the ■ raider apparently was a new vessel i of about fi.500 tons gross. The coal ' bunkers, they said, were unusually large, as if built for long cruises. The Germans took every precaution, they added, to shield the four guns mount ed forw-ard and rhe one mounted aft, but they appeared to be of the fifteen centimeter type. Kiss Cost Company $500. Kansas City, Mo.—The Metropoli tan Street Railway Co., under a set tlement reached here in the circuit court, agreed to pay Miss Evelyn Whittington, 16 years old, $500 for a kiss administered by one of the company’s conductors. Miss Whittington and her cousin were the only passengers on a car ; one night in January, 1915. she told the court. When her cousin left the j car, Miss Whittington laughed be cause her relative’s descent from the car steps was impeded by a tight skirt. The conductor, too, laughed. A few blocks further on the conduc tor kissed her. Miss Whittington de clared. The young woman sued the company for $25,000. Half Million Left to Charity. Chicago.—Religious and charitable institutions will receive about $500, 000 under the will of Thomas Tem pleton of Evanston. Price of Wheat Lower in Berlin. Berlin.—(By Wireless to Sayville.i —The price of wheat flour has been reduced from 27 to 24 pfennigs a pound and rice flour from 24 to 22 pfennigs. To Supply France Lumber. Houston, Tex.—By a contract closed with the French government, twenty lumber firms of the gulf coast region in Texas, will participate in a contract to furnish the French army forty-two million feet of common lumber, delivery to begin at once. Cummins Filed in Minnesota. St. Paul, Minn.—The name of Al bert B. Cummins. United States sena tor from Iowa, was filed with the sec retary of state as a candidate for the republican presidentftl Domination in the Minnesota primary election, March 1<>. Sustains Terre Haute Election. Chicago.—The convictions of D. M. Roberts, former mayor of Terre Haute, Ind., and ten others, found guilty of election frauds, wer** sus tained by the U.

When ships or coast forts fire their guns to welcome a distinguished visitor the compliment, though noisy in form, is more delicate in intention than some of us know. It means that we know the purpose of the visitor's coming is so peaceful that we need not keep our guns loaded, but joyfully empty them in his presence. Make Punctuality a Habit. Somebody said that the man who was always on time spent half his life waiting for the other man. Perhaps that is so; yet the fact is no excuse for those who are habitually late.
