without a word from anyone who baa a

At for Lincoln retaining tha headquarters,

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.. June 28. Members
of tha Harvard Law School association as
sembled here today for the first general
meeting since 189S. The occasion waa also
of special significance becauae attended by
many prominent men throughout the conn
try. Secretary of War Taft bad accepted
an Invitation to deliver the oration at the
meeting and Chief Justice Melville W.
-Fuller of the supreme court of tha United
States was to preside.
The members of the association assem
bled In front of Austin ball and marched
to Saunders' theater, where the exercises
took place.
At the annual business session Chief Jus
tice Puller, '$6, was elected president of the
association. Among th vice presidents
chosen were Richard Olney, '68, of Msssa
chusetts; Simeon E. Baldwin. '6$. associate
Justice of the supreme court of Con nee t'-
cut; Oliver Wendell Holmes, '68, associate
Justice of the supreme court of the United
States; George Gray, '63, of Delaware, Jus
tice of tha United States circuit court:
Edward O. Wolcott, '7B, of Colorado; J.
Klein, '71, of Missouri, snd Robert T. Lin
coln, '66, of Illinois.
R. L. Raymond, '98, of Boston, waa
chosen secretary and E. K. Arnold, '98, of
Boston, treasurer.
Secretary of War Taft was unanimously
elected sn honorary member of the-assocla
tlon. Portraits of the lste Prof. J. B. Hayer
of the law school and of Prof. James Barr
Ames, the present dean of the. Institution,
were presented to th law school. In Intro
ducing Secretary Taft, Chief Juatlce Fuller
said:
"To the man who comes to us with
marked success In a political career the
association extends' a heartfelt welcome."
Jfo Agreemeat Was Made.
Mr. Taft discussed the relation of the
United States to the Philippines from nearly
every point of view, reviewing events In ths
Islands from ths' time when their disposition
waa left an open question In the protocol
with Spain to the present day and declaring
his Ideas as to tha. future.
"Could we have given the Islands back to
Spain" asked Mr. Taft' "Y!ih our con
sent and Indeed at our Instanoe and with
arms furnished by us Agulnaldo had raised
an army which assisted us In Investing
Manila and In Its capture, and which, dur
ing the suspension of hostilities, bad gone
on driving the Spaniards out of their In
terior posts. We were. In a sense, allies of
Agulnaldo and his followers, united for ths
purpose of driving Spain out of the Philip
pines, they to avoid further oppression by
Spain, we to cripple our enemy by taking
what he had. It was our destruction of ths
fleet In Manila bay that broke the power
and prestige of Spain In the islands and on
true Aguinaiao ouuaea in hla subsequent
conquests of other points in ths archipelago.
but for more than live months our action
was Joint. To desert him as an ally, to re
store to Spain Manila, which was th key
of the Islands, and thus enable Spain to
drive him back Into the interior and Anally
dtaperse his forces, would have been vio
lating an obligation which the circum
stances of our Joint action created and
would doubtless have subjected the Island
to another and a bloody war.i'
"Could we have taken the Islands from
Spain and then have turned them over to
Agulnaldo and his government? Were we
under obligation to do so?" inquired the
secretary.
Replying to Ms own questions, Mr. Taft
referred to Agulnaldo's claim that Admiral
Dewey agreed' on behalf of the United
States that this country would acquiesce
In the Independence of the island. In
refutation he cited the denials of Dewey
and Consuls Pratt and Wlldman that any
such agreement or promises had been" made
and said that now a document haa come to
light, signed by Mablne as Agulnaldo's sec
retary of state, containing, secret Instruc
tions to two envoys In respect to negotia
tions with General Otis, In which occurs
the statement that the United States and
Agulnaldo had made no agreement, but had
merely united with a common purpose to
drive Spain out of the Islands.
Agulnaldo knew, the speaker declared.
that It was for the government st Wash
Ington to decM what waa to be done with
tha Islands.
Mr. Ttft sketched Agulnaldo's career up
to the present time, reviewing his rela
tions with Dewey and relating the circum
stances of ths killing of Bonifacio, ths
founder of the Katlpunan society, snd of
Antonio Luna, the Insurgent leader. "The
persons In this country who have Idealised
Agulnaldo have Indignantly repelled ths
chsrges that Agulnaldo coirrpassed those
two deaths," continued Mr. Taft, "but one
must ssy that ths moral evidence Is very
strong against him."
Had ta I's Pares.
The United Ststes waa obliged to en
force Its authority, sard Mr. Taft, and
afterward to prepare the people of ths
Island for popular government. He then
recited what , the United States bad dona
for the Filipinos. The organisation of
municipal and provisional governments "on
bases so liberal in the matter of autonomy
as to surprise the Inhabitants of the
Island," ths suppression of ladronlam by a
native eonetabulary, the founding of an
educational system that shall give ele
mentary Instruction snd a knowledge of
English to all children who sttend ths
schools; i the construction of public works
and rosd building snd th establishing of
a Judicial system, part native, part Ameri
can.
Taking up tha question of civil rights In
the Philippines, concerning which he had
received letters "from suspicious Indi
viduate resident In and about Boston,"
ths secretary of wsr averred that any In
habitant of ths Phlllpplse Islands Is . en
titled to apply to court for the psrserva-
tlon of every right mentioned In the bill
of rights, save for the right of trial by
Jury and ths right to bear arms, and that
If he will assert his right it will be se
cured him.
People have been arrested for exhibiting
seditious plays, he said, and Instancing a
case In Manila, said Its suppression by the
arrest of the Instigators was no violation
of the bill of rights.
As for the future, Mr. Taft thought It
unwlae to promise a conditional Independ
ence that ahould wean the people away
from the preeent government "I am In
favor of teaching the people how to govern
themselves," said he, "and I cannot assume
that such a lesson, so difficult to learn,
can be taught to a people, 80 per cent of
whom are grossly Ignorant today, without
any political experience whatever. In live
years, as soms of our opponent say. or In
twenty years, as others suggeat.
I regard ths learning of English as one
of the Important ateps In the education ef
these people. Important In creating a soli
darity aeiong tbe people.
me government in tne Philippines was,
Mr. Taft said, nonpartisan and Included
about as many democrats as republicans.
Th policy of the United State was "ths
Philippines for ths Filipinos." If ulti
mately the Filipinos were taken In "be
hind th tariff wall, as t hop snd pray
they may," It would tend to develop the
Islands In such a way that the Filipinos
might prefer to maintain "aome sort of
bond that they might be within the tariff
wall and enjoy the markets rather than
separate themselves and become Independent."
NORTH PLATTE STARTS CAMPAIGN
Large Crewl Gather ta Bear Ad

NORTH PLATTE. Neb., June $8. (Special
Telegram.) Fifteen hundred people as
sembled at tbe opera houae to listen to
Congressman Elmer J. Burkett discuss th
political issue from a republican stand
point at th ratification meeting held here
tonight. No such meeting has been held
here for years in point of numbers. There
was great enthusiasm and a splendid ad
dress. The' congressman paid a glowing
tribute to the nominees of the republican
party, Roosevelt and Fairbanks, recounted
the great achievements of the party during
the last eight years, then referred In moat
emphatic terms to democratic Incompe
tency, yet In such a pleasing way that the
democrats were compelled to smile at the
true picture drawn.
J. L. McBrien, candidate for state super
intendent; H. M. Eaton, candidate for com
missioner of public lands and buildings, and
B. A. Bearle, candidate for state auditor,
were also present and made short talks,
which were well received. The ratification
was In every respect a grand success.
Smallpox sat Soldiers' Home.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., June 28. (Spe
cial.) Another very light case of emallpox
has broken out at the Soldiers' home, the
afflicted one being Mr. Jay. assistant engi
neer. Mr. Jay lives In the northwestern
part of the city. He has been taken to his
home and the home will be quarantined.
This makes the fifth case at the Soldiers'
home, but none has reached the main
building and sll precautions will now be
taken that It does not reach there. The
medical department of the home has or
dered and secured slxty-eeven points for
the vaccination and Commandant Askwlth
has ordered that all officials and membern
of the Institution, over 400, be vaccinated.
All of the caaes are ao light as to preclude
confinement in any case snd no alarm
whatever Is felt ss to the situation. It
was deemed best, however, to use all the
possible precaution. All of the oases have
been Isolated as soon aa the first symptoms
have appeared. ,
Boosts to Be Fatnlgated.
GRAND ISLAND. Neb., June 28. (Spe
cial.) At a meeting of the public library
It waa ordered that tha library be closed
for three days snd that all the books be
fumigated. Complaint has reached the
library board, directed at it, that It has
permitted books to go and come from a
home In which there was scarlet fever, and
It Is stated that such sn Incident did occur
though there' are comparatively few casea
of scarlet fever. It appears that a placard
was put on a certain residence and when
the first ease reported was convalescent tho
card was taken down, though another caae
In the same family had developed. The
library board complains that the city's
Board of Health is responsible, or the at
tending physician, and the matter Is likely
to come up before the council.

ST. LOUIS ROBBED FOR YEARS

COMBINE FOR HOLDING UP CORPORATIONS

f Bribes.
ST. LOUIS, June 28. It was announced
today that Charles A. Outke. former mem
ber of the house of delegates, convicted on
a charge of bribery and soon to be tried
on another similar charge, today made a
complete confessioa to Circuit Attorney
Joseph W. Folk In which he declared that
former Delegate Charles F. Kelly had told
him ha had received 850,000 for going to
Europe when his presence In St. Louis Jeop
ardised men of prominence. Kelly Is also
resting under conviction and Is soon to be
tried In another cose. 1
Circuit Attorney Folk attaches great Im
portance to the revelations which have been
made by Gutke. He said that it opened up
many new avenues of Investigation and
that It brought things to light which have
not been heard of before, Involving the men
higher up.
When he came out of the office of Circuit
Attorney Folk, Gutke said:
The best reparation that I can make for
the wrongs I have done Is to confess fully
to everything, in order that the public may
realise what has been going on. Yielding
to the pleadings of my wife, I have deter
mined to do all I can to atone for my sins
against the public. The people of St. Louis
even now do not realise how they have
been persistently plundered for years and
years by the men they elected to make
laws for the city.
I became a member of the house of dele
gates In 1K97 and at once became a member
of the combine of that body, which was an
organisation composed of nineteen dele
gates for the purpone of aelling legislation.
Tho first bill that came up after I had be
come a member of the combine was "the
suburban loop bill."
The members of the combine got '20,000
for their votes on thii bill; on the "I'nlon
avenue" bill we got 818,000; on the central
traction bill we got 876.000; on the Third
street line bills we sot 815.000: on tha light
ing bill we rot 847.500: on the suburban bill
we were to get 875,000, which la now in the
safe deposit box In the Lincoln Trust com
pany, hetng placed there with the agree
ment that It should be turned over to us
when the bill had been passed.
While these are some of the largest bribes
secured during my term of office there
were innumerable others running trom
810,000 for switching bills to a few hundred
dollars for some minor privileges. The
bribe prices were fixed In meetings of th.
combine, the procedure being for some
member to get up and move that a certain
Ence be fixed on a certain bill, inner mem
era would give their opinions snd a vote
would he taken snd the price receiving the
nignest number or votes would oe aaopiea.
Had Only to Aslc for It.
Then we would eelect an agent of the
combination bv ballot to nesrotlate for and
ravel ve the money. Thla agent would die-
tribute the money amongst us. From my
Intimate ' knowledge of dealing with this
combine and from Information secured on
what has been going on here for the last
quarter of a century, I mnke the i,osltlve
statement that there Is hardly a corpora
tion In the city of St. Louis of 8250,000 and
over that has not either been held up for
bribe money or bought off the action from
the com hi no In the house of delegates.
I acted as the agent of the combination
In a number of theee deals. In the subur
ban deal I went to Krats's stock house and
was present when the agreement was made
regnrding the bribe of 800,000 for Krats,
which is now In a lockbox In the Missis
slnol Valley Trust company. I went with
Charles Krats and Carroll to the office of a
prominent broker In the lighting deal and
there S20.000 was paid me by this broker to
give the combination, and the promise r.'as
made men tnat izv.duv more wouia oe pnia.
Other details were given by Gutke, who
mentioned the name of a prominent local
politician, who, he said, hsd .been at the
head Of " nearly sll the combines In the
house of delegates during the last twenty
five years. He said the boodle gang In St
Louis has already planned to capture the
circuit attorney's office at the next elec
tion. Sasrar Prices Advance.
