Persons Killed

Raiders in Mindanoa Are Masacreing
Native Christians and
Foreigners.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3L-F.lghty Chris
tians, one an American and two Chinese
hare been killed and much property belong
ing to forclgnors has been destroyed by
the rebellious Manobos tribesmen In the
Philippines, according to a report from
Brigadier General Pershlric to the War de
partment today.
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. It Is presumed
here that tthe outbreak has resulted from
too i vigorous measures to meet this con
dition, taken by foreigners owning planta
tions. CENSUS FRAUDS IN TWO CITIES
Director Da rand Dlieonrri Irreemlar

WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. Director Durand
of the census bureau Is preparing a public
statement regarding alleged fraudulent
census returns In Fort 8mith, Ark., and
Great Falls, Mont., which will be given
out at an early day. .Tne census bureau
asserts that quite extensive Irregularities
have been discovered in both places. In
Great Falls these already have led to th
conviction of three enumerators.

Chadron Journal.
When a man asks to be elected to a
public office his record becomes a matter
for inspection. Hitchcock Is feeling the
results of Howard's exposures. Many other
lesser lights over the state are being looked
up and will no doubt feel the results In a
greater or less degree. A clean record 1
a mighty good thing for th man running

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.
The removed leaves were not removed from
the section of the book devoted to records

The old rehsttr.a syster reduced th
freight revenue of tne Burlington from I
to B per cent.
The Burlington Is not In si good a eondl
tlon to scoumulats a surp'us now as It
was ten years ago.
The foregoing wer among th statement
made at the rate hearing today by Claude
O. Burnham. vice preFldsnt of ths Burl ng
ton, who was th first witness. Attorney
T, J. Norton, who represents the railways
as a whole at the hearing, stated that he
had only one more witness to lntroduc.
On the subject of western rate decision.
Mr. Burnham said:
"The decisions have not been ordered
Into effect as yet, hut unless they are
materially modified thy will conserratlvely
cause the Burlington a loss of SVXI.OOO an
nually." Rebates anil Revennea.
Attorney Dawes of the Burlington asked
what effect on revenue rebating emt of tha
Missouri had before the law made the
practice Illegal.
"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?"
"The Burlington needs 40,000 and mors
to maintain the efficiency of the property
as a transportation machine."
"Do you regard the Burlington a an effi
cient transportation machine at present?"
pursued Mr. .Lyon.
'As compared with other, road-V PJS " .
In Wvra e Financial Condition.
When Mr. Iyon Inquired If witness con
sidered tho Burlington to be In a worse
financial condition that It was In 100 the
latter hesitated and then answered slowly:
"It ts not in a good a condition to ac
cumulate a surplus."
Mr. Lyon made a comparison of the divi
dends psld in 1800 and 1J10, and of earnings,
and asked If witness still maintained that
the road was in a worne condition with re
gard to a surplus than It was ten years
ago.
"Conditions have changed; they hav
changed In the last six month. There sre
greater demands on our earnings, particu
larly In the matter of wages."
Attorney .Tames, representing the ship
pers, siked a number of Questions concern
ing meetings of th Wenern Trunk Lino
associations. H waa Interrupted by Attor
ney Dawes ot the Burlington, who declared
that If Mr. James were attempting to lay
the basis for a suit In equity the witness
should not answer. Mr. James disclaimed
any such intention and was allowed to ak
If at th meeting any rate was objected tc
by any road.
"I don't know." was ths snswer.
Watch Proflta of Shippers.
"Wasn't on of th considerations In ad
vancing rates the sailing prlr of th com
modities affected?" Mr. James asked.
"Yes."
Witness explained the selling price ol
furniture as an Instance figured In deter
mining to increase the rate on furnltur
between Chicago and the Twin Cities.
"Dirt you call In the shippers with regard
to this rale?" Inquired Mr. James.
"No. Our experience lias bten that If
we did there would be no Increase. We
have 9W men who ar constantly tmployed
In teportlng on th profits made by th
manufacturers and shippers on all lines of
goods. "
Asked how Increased revenue would be
used with respect to Improving terminals,
Mr. Burnham said that, for instance, his
road would expend V"jO,0O0 In building a
teaming track from the heart of the city'
of Qulncy. 111., to the read's terminal at
that city.
"And If the increase Is not granted?"
"Then I doubt thst it cm te built."
