MarArthnr Urges Kindness.
General MacArthur was again the wit
Bess before the committee today and he
began bis statement with reference to the
burning of villages by the native forces In
1899.
He said that the order for this destruc
tion 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
campaigns, and had conceived the Idea that
he could compel the American forces 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 field
and enjoining the utmost kindness in the
treatment of captured and wounded. In one
of these orders tbs . American forces were
Instructed to klll,4 If possible, the enemy
found fighting and with arms In his hand,
and In reply to questions General . Mac
Arthur said that In war the prims object
Is to disable tha enemy and to kill him If
possible when in battle. . .
Patterson Presses NaeArthsr.
Pressing bis question. Senator Patterson
sked it the killing or twenty Filipinos to
one American was not "simply slaughter."
"NO," replied General MacArthur, "not
when your adversary stands up and fights
you."
"Then, if under these conditions, with
such disparity of casualties, the Filipinos
stood up and fought, are they not the
bravest people that ever went to war?"
askeo senator Patterson.
"They did not stand up and fight after
the first battle," replied the witness.
"Then If they did not fight. Is It not true,
as 1 before asked, that tbelr killing was
nothing more than slaughter?"
"No, that Is not the case. The war la
the most humane that was ever fought. It
is simply a question of efficiency against
inefficiency."
Explains Chinese Immigration.
Senator Carmk'k questioned General Mao
Arthur as to his meaning when be stated
In his report ot 1901 that there was an or
ganised and systematle effort to bave Chi
nes Immigration continued for the pur
post of exploiting the Islands. General Mac
Arthur said h had Intended to bring out
the fact that tbo large European and Amer
ican establishments In the archipelago all
demand Chinese labor, as the Cblnaman Is
the cheapest and most Indefatigable laborer
In the worlds Their hope was, he said, to
continue the flood of immigration from
China as they were reluctant to come to
the American, standard ot wages.
Speaking ot the educated Filipinos, Gen
eral, MacArthur saM that many of then
were men of good character and generally
showed ability. Among others of whom hs
spok was Mablnl, who, h said, had a
dream ef a , Polynesian confederacy-r"an
able man, but a dreamer, and unfortunately
paralysed," he added.
"Where is hs now!" asked Senator Pat
terson. "In Guam," laconically responded the wit
ness. "How did 6s get there?"
v"! sent him .there because hs was an agi
tator." Then followed a long colloquy In which
General MacArthur explalaed that after he
had released Mabtnl be continued his agi
tatton.
"His agitation In support of Philippine
Independence r suggested Senator Patter
on.
"Ilia agitation in support ot the insur
rectioa," Insisted General MacArthur. -Letter

Today.
With the heavy odds ot experience and
confidence arrayed against them, the base
ball team of Crelghton university yesterday
afternoon succeeded In holding "Pa's Pets"
down to a score of 11 to 2 In the first game
between these teams at '.Vinton street park.
Though the day was disagreeable, very
nice base bail was perpetrated, and the
falr-slsed crowd of Omaha tans who were
on hand to watch. tbelr favorites perform
were for the first time this year given the
treat. of feeing .soma bitting by the
leaguers. Vp to this time the games played
at home have been devoid ot any appre
ciable proportion. of stick work, but In yes
terday's contest the men came to the front
handily with a little bunch of twelve nice
ones, triples, doubles and singles mixed.
Three of the regular team players.
Hickey, Fleming and Genlns, were given a
holiday by Captain Stewart, and their three
substitutes made themselves solid with the
crowd. Rlsley, who went lot middle field
for Genlns, scored two bits and' two runs.
and yet he is a pitcher. Stone, the utility
outfielder who took Fleming's place in left
field, led the list with three bits, one for
three pillows. Little Pete Burg, the
midget, who plays an emergency Infield
Job, went In at third for Hickey and gave
further proof of his reliability and value
by handling a few very puxzllng bits In
Just the correct manner and with absolute
accuracy and no delay. One time with a
man on first and second the ball was batted
slowly down the third base line. Burs
rushed it and scooped It Up half way to
the plate, then turned sharp around and
caught the runner at second, where two
third basemen out of three In similar cir
cumstances of 'haste 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 Crelghton Stars.
There . were some prominent Creigbton
stars, too. Ed Cretghton at third base was

in left field was ot the sterling sort that

NO SOLUTION OF THE MURDER
Kej to Mystery of HeywooaVs Death Still
Unknown to Police.
WILLIAM M. JONES, SUSPECT, IS SILENT
Lincoln' Mmm Arrested on Simpleton,
I ndrrtofi Thornask west ina."
bat Throws No Light on
' 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
lifeless body was found at daylight tbls
morning within 100 feet of his home on Am
herst street.
William M. Jones, who roomed In Hey
wood's borne and who was arrested on sus
picion this morning, was still In custody to
night,, although a "tweatbox" examination
lasting all day and this evening failed to
bring from him any damaging admissions.
Mrs. Haywood, who was escorted to police
headquarters at noon and closely examined
this afternoon and evening, was permitted
to return to her home tonight. The offi
cers say that no Information was secured
from her that would throw any light on the
cause of her busband'a death.
Heywood'a murderer first shot him and
then crushed in his forehead with some
heavy instrument. The bullet took effect
behind his right ear and In itself would
have caused death. The murderer then ap
parently stooped over his victim and dealt
blm a blow on the forehead.
Find Suspicions Hammer.
After Jones' arrest officers searched bis
room at the Heywood house. Jones vas a
plumber add made a specialty of retiring
gas stoves. In his kit of tools was found a
machinist's hammer which tbo officers as
serted fits perfectly the hole In Heywood't
forehead.
In a lot near where the body was dis
covered a revolver was found which Key
wood's young son at first positively identi
fied as belonging to Jones. Later In ths
day, however, the lad was nbt to sure of
the Identification.
Jonea wat very cocl and collected through
out his sweating and told freely all he said
be knew of the tragedy. . During the exam
ination of Heywood'a little daughter. Kate,
by the officers the fact was developed that
she hesrd a shot fired about 3 o'clock this
morning. The officers bave located persons
who saw Heywood, who attended a dance
yesterday evening three blocks from his
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 busband did not return during
the night Mrs. Heywood was very much
alarmed, and, arising early, she sent ber
oldest boy. Earl, aged 12, out to see If be
could find any trace of his father. The
little chap had gone but a short distance
from the ' house when be discovered the
lifeless remains of the parent. The police
were 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't body and
clothes showed that robbery was not the
motive. There, was but the one wound,
evidently made with a heavy blunt instru
ment, at it penetrated the skull and left
an ugly cut, Detectives were immediately
put to work oni-the cast and they arretted
William F. Jones, a roomer In Heywood'a
house. . ' The twftjnen are said to have quar
reled frequently.
At the station; Jones was examined as to
his relations with the Heywood family. He
sayt his home It in Lincoln, Neb., where
he' has a wife and three children. He said
he first .became acquainted with the Hey
wood family about five years ago, when hs
weut to the house one day to mend a gaso
line stove for them. Hs has been board
ing there since last February.
Freshly Discharged.
There was a freshly discharged cartridge
In the revolver found In the alley and said
to belong to Jones. Dr. W. H. Baker, who
examined Heywood'a body as soon ss It bad
been found, is of ths opinion that ths
wound was Inflicted by a revolver held at
very close range.
Mrs. Heywood, her three children and a
neighbor, Mrs. Hobart, were taken to po
lice headquarters at noon and examined by
Captain of Detectives McDonnell. On ber
way to the car Mrs. Heywood said, In ans
wer to a reporter's questions, that so tar
as she knew Jones bad been In his room all
night. She said that twice during the night
he wanted to go out and search tor Mr,
Heywood, but that she advised blm not to
'.as ho did not know where to search and It
would be useless. Accordingly be did not
go either time.
LINK OF EVIDENCE FOUND
Blood-Stained Hatchet In Professor
Miller's Room Discovered
by Police.
DETROIT, Mich., April 10. Whit tbs
police consider to be a strong link In ths
chain of circumstantial evldencs that tbey
are weaving about Prof. Joseph M. Miller.
sged 47, a music teacber and a married
man with a family, who la under arreat on
suspicion of brutally murdering Miss Car
rie M. Jennett on Thirteenth street Just
before midnight last night, was discovered
this evening. It is a bloody hatchet
which was found In the drawer ot a table
In Miller's kitchen.
Prof. Miller was the girl's muslo teacher
and had paid ber auch marked attentions
that her father had asked blm to keep
way from ths bouss. When he was ar-
raigosa si ins ponce station mis morning
what ars supposed to bs blood statna were
found on bla shirt sleeves, his trousers,
snoes, nat ana overcoat. A towel was
found In bis kitchen with what are sup
posed to bs blood stains on it. When he
was asked for an explanation of ths stains
on bis clothing bs gave none.
Girl's Neck Broken.
Miss Jennett, wbo was 22 yeart old and
bo would have become a mother In a few
months, was most brutally done to death
Just before 12 o'clock last night. She waa
felled by a terrlfio blow on the bead
which broks her neck, and her throat wat
tut from etr to ear. Her mutilated body
waa found in this condition In a lonely
spot on Thirteenth ttreet. It wtt taken
to the morgue and not identified until this
morning.
Mist Jennett left her home last evening
to attend a meeting of the Rebekah lodge
of which she waa a member. She left the
meeting sbout 10 o'clock and was not teen
again alive. Her parents were alarmed a
bar net coming borne and when tbey. beard
of the murder Mr. Jennett hurried to the
morgue and there Identified the mutilated
body.
He told ths police of ths girl's lnfatua
tloa for Prof. Miller and tha teacher wat
placad under arrest. Miller took tbs sit
nation vary coolly whan hs waa examined
at the station. Nothing could bo learnsd
from questioning him. He was then or
dered to take off his clothes and on tha
shirt tbs pollcs found blood statna. Miller
offered no explanation of them. Mors
ttalas wars found on other garments. Mil
ler still maintained absolute tilenct tt to
them. It was then decided to lock him up.
Man Faints Twice,
While te was being registered on the
blotter the music teacber collapsed and
fainted, lie was revived only to faint sgaln
as the officers conducted him to a cell.
Miller left his' bouse last evening to at
tend a lodge meeting In Baker street, and
returned about ..11:20 o'clock apparently
cool and indlst jrrbed. He alleges tbst he
did not leave tha meeting until It o'clock,
but several pessons who were there ssy
he left between 10 and 11 o'clock. The
murder wss committed sbout five minutes
after .11 o'clock as near as the police ran
learn. It would have beta possible for Mlli
er to go from the hall On Baker street to
the scene ot the crime in twenty minutes.
This was demonstrated tonight by a re
porter, wbo made the trip In sixteen min
utes. From the location of the crime to
Miller's boms It but a comparatively abort
walk.
While the police think they bave strong
circumstantial evidence against the suspect
they admit tbey are still far short ot enough
to convict him of the murder. Nothing ran
be gained from Miller by questioning, as he
simply Insists that be knowa nothing of
tbo murder.
An autopsy today revealed ths fact that
within three or four months the girl would
bave become a mother. It alao furnished
many evidences of the brutality with which
the poor girl was murdered. In addition
to the other ghastly wounds on ber hetd
her neck bad been broken. Prof. Miller,
wbo is under arrest on suspicion of being
the girl's murderer, left his house, accord
ing to bis wife, at I o'clock last night, say
ing lie wss going to a lodge meeting. At
11:20 p. m., according to bis wife, be re
turned apparently cool and collected.

Hoar announced his vigorous opposition to
the bill, declaring that he never, would
vote tor it.
Early In tbe session Mr. Depew spoke
briefly against the bill providing for tbe
election of senators by popular vote. He
offered the following amendment to the
resolution:
Depew'a Proposed Chanwe. .y
Th Aimllflmtlnna of citizens entitled 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 thla 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 tbe proposed
amendment under consideration proposes to
make tbe senate a popular body and re
verse the principle upon which tbe govern
ment has existed down to the present time.
Mr. Depew said it in the election of
United States senators a small oligarchy In
any atate can send here representation
equal to tbat of great states like New York
which have manhood suffrage; It states In
which halt of the voters are disfranchised !
are to bave an equal voice in thla body
with states like Pennsylvania, of five or
ten times tbelr population and with r
hood suffrage; if New York, which
because of its manhood suffrage, 1, !
votea, Ir to be neutralized in leg!' i
affecting her vast interests by Mite . I
casting 5B.000 votes because the mJ-i-.y
of her citizens are disfranchised then the
situation becomes intolerable.
Metal Mall Boaea.
At the conclusion of routine business Mr.
Mason, chairman of the committee on poet
offlcet and postroada, called up tbe post
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 uss ot tbe patront ot ths rural free de
livery service, at a cost not exceeding 60
cents each, and to furnish them to the pat
ront of tbe service at cost. The amend
ment wat adopted and the postofflce appro
priation bill wtt passed.
Mr. Dillingham of Vermont then con
tinued bis speech begun yesterday In op
position to tbe Cblness exclusion bill. He
maintained that aome provisions of the
bill were unconstitutional and instanced
that section which referred to children of
Chinese parents born In this country. Fil
ipinos, mixed with Chinese blood, be said,
could not corns to ths United States from
the Philippines under this bill. He thought

the mixed blood Filipinos ought to have the
right to come to this country, but under
the pending Mil they would not bsve that
right.
Mr. Stewart of Nevada opposed the bill
In Its present form. He said tbst not 10,
000 Chlnsmen bad come to this country
upon the-lr own rcsburces. Nine-tenths of
h'm h"d brou,tM "" .ud'r fon:

To Preserve (.'Itlaenship. .
M-. Hoar aald be was not indifferent to
anything which threatened the lofty quality
of American citizenship and he regarded
the pending question as a question of-
I feeling the quality of our citizenship.
"It is aot race.' said he, "but It Is
Cegradatton that we ought to strike st snd
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."
Tbe advocates of the pending measure,
he said, maintained that every Chinaman
should be kept out of the United States,
even If be possessed every known virtue,
and all other foreigners should be admitted
even though they may have every known
vice.
"That," said he with great feeling, "It
a stab at tbe 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 resd eliminating sec
tion 66 of tbe bill and substituting a pro
vision that nothing in the act should be
construed to prevent any foreign ex
hibitor from any country from bringing to
tbe United Statea such assistants at
might be necessary to enable blm to make
an exhibition at any fair or exposition au
thorized by the government.
GR0SVEN0R F0R CUBAN BILL
Declares Present Tariff on Sngar Is
I'nrraannahle and Demands Chanac
In Schedule.
WASHINGTON, April 10 The debate on
the Cuban reciprocity bill In the house to
day was devoid of enlivening features. Tbe
most notable speech of the day waa made
by Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio. He 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 tbe
present rates.
Mr. Hltt of Illinois, chairman of tbe for
eign affairs committee, reported back the
Cochran resolution ot 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 secretsry of
state for the report of the governor of
Louisiana and all other correspondence re
lating to tbe establishment of a British
base of supplies near Louisiana and the
shipment of horses and mules for the use
of the British army In South Africa. The
resolution waa adopted.
The honse then resumed the consideration
of the Cuban reciprocity bill. Mr. Grosve
nor of Ohio, tbe first speaker today, made
an earnest speech In favor of the bill. The
president and his csbinet, be said, favored
legislation on the line of the pending
measure.
He said with great emphasis tbat he had
never yet permitted himself to worship tbe
tariff system as a fetlcbrnot to be touched
or examined. He warned the young repub
licans about him tbat If they believed the
present tariff schedules were to bo 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
Prealdent Roosevelt at Charleston yester
day, which be described as "tbe best speech
the president ever made," and humorously
remarked that he wondered at the teraerltv
ot the president In making such statements
while republicans In tbe bouse were de
nouncing such statements as party disloy
alty. Tre present tariff on raw sugar, he de
clared, was blgh beyond all reason. If the
0 per cent reduction were made the tariff
n suear would then be 5 per cent higher
thin the framers of the Dlngley bill ln
icr.tl d. If the beet sugar people had an
:i.dustry that could not stand against tbe
world with $1.40 a huudred protection, then
it had better be abandoned.
In conclusion Mr. Grosvenor denied tbat
tbe pending bill constituted an assault uoon
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 .to
aid Cuba. It was ridiculous, he contended,
to say that. because we. freed Cuba at the
coat of hundreds of lives and millions of
dollars, that therefore we were under a
load ot debt to tbe Island.
