For almost a week or more two bands of about one hundred Manobos each have been terrifying the people on the west coast of Davao in southeastern Mindanao Island. Their raids have been directed against the foreign element. Two com panies of the Third United Ptates infantry' were sent to suppress the disorder. General Pershing does not regard the situation as serious. Labor troubles ar believed by War de partment officials to be responsible for the uprising among th Manobos. The latter are of the lowest typa of Filipinos, It la said. They are Indolent and resent any effort to compel them to work.

MACHINES NOT AUTHORIZED Such is the Testimony of Secretary of State Junkin. BRINGS THE OFFICIAL RECORDS These (in to "how that e Action of the Board Erer Permitted tha lit of the Vattnar Machine. Judge Troup will probably hand down a decision In , the voting tnachln man damus suit some time today. Arguments were not concluded by adjournment tlma yesterday afternoon and a period will lie devoted to this again this morning. Attorneys for the defense made much In their dlecusaion of the faot that the Stat Board of Voting Machine commissioners never authorised th use of machines, and attorneys for the -plaintiff asserted (hat this made no difference, that deputies of tha state board had done so. The current opinion among tho who have followed the case Is that the attempt of C. O. Lohock to crawl on Dahlman's shoulders will b vain, and that the de cision will be against the Issurance of a writ of mandamus, as prayed for by the comptroller. That the use of voting machines in Ne braska never was authorised by the State Board of Voting Machine commissioners. was testified to by Secretary of Stat Junkin Monday morning. in corroboration of 1. is testimony Mr. Junkin produced the official record of the proceedings of the board and the record was offered In evidence. On this testimony County Clerk Haverly in part bases his defense of his refusal to use the machines. The other ground Is that th large number of petition -candidates whose names must be submitted to the voters makes Impossible th arrange ment of a machine ballot In conformity to the paper ballot ordered by law. Taking of testimony was completed at 11:46 a. m., and an adjournment was taken to give Judge Troup opportunity to examine the machines, th theory being that only by making a personal examina tion could the Judge place himself In th best possible position to adjudicate the case on Its merits. Argument Monday Afternoon. Th official, record or the Htate Board of Voting Machines commissioners was contained In a record book that also has been used for other records. The record of the board showed that th board met, elected J. H. Mickey, then governor, chair man, and A. Cuius ha, then secretary of state, secretary; that three deputy com missioners mer elected; that an applica tion of the Empire Voting Machine Com pany for consideration of Its United titates Standard voting machine was received. Here ended the official record. Discovering that seversl pages of ths record book had been removed, 1. J. Dunn, of counsel for Lobeck, askod Mr. Junkin for an explanation. Mr. Junkin said ha did not anow how the pages In th book cam to be removed, but said that In times past when changes In officials have taken place outgoing officials hav cut their rec ords from books containing records of dif ferent officials or official bodies and de livered them to their successors. Mr. Dunn asked Mr. Junkin If he knew of any representatives of the defense look ing over the record book within the laat few days. The answer mas affirmative. John P. Breen, of counsel for the defense, resented the question as an Intimation that the records had been tampered with. Mr. Dunn said no such inference waa Intended.

"Rebates were given almost exclusively 011 high-class freight," replied the witness. "Tbe result was a rate that waa much lower than wns fair to the railroads. Bui at no time did rebates cause more than a 1 to 6 per cent decrease In the revenue of the Burlington." "You have mentioned." said Attorney Ivon of the commission, "thnt the pro posed Increases would give ths Burlington road about $409,000. For what purpose do j you want that money?"
