Three members of the fac. ulty Miss Iloekin, Miss Nelson and Mr. Wood, attended, and a very enjoyable time waa reported. That slavery openly exists In the rhlllpplne Islands, though knowledge of the system has been kept rrom tho Amer ican public; that Filipino character and customs are elements with which no per son can deal who Is a Jitralnger to them, and that President Wilson and his ad visers "do not know what they are talk ing about." Is Deputy County Attorney Charles Haffke'a comment on the satir ical performance put on In Washington by the Military Order of the Carabao. Aa a result of amusing criticisms of the government's Philippine policy heard at thn banquet, at which army and navy officials wero present, threats of courts martial hao come from the White House. Mr. Haffke Is not a member of the Order of the Carabao, but spent several years In tho Islands In the employ of the American Department of Justice there. From men who recently have been there he has learned that slavery still exists , "There Is a large (traffic In boya and girls," said Mr. Haffke, "the price vary Ing frcm M cents to several dollars each. Was frequently offered opportunities to make such purchases. I never bought a uman being, but a Filipino father gave me a boy about It years old, callel 'Gyp.- In return for what services he did for me I sent him to school and bought him clothing, of which he was sadly In need. When I left the Islands he was In a no. Itlon to earn his own living. "The system of slaver is chiefly a mattsr of tribes and families. Family relations are extremely lose and the mar rlage relation amounts to little. A leader among the Negritos, one of the Inferior tribes, for Instance, accumulates a con siderable following and Is never averse to disposing of some of the supernumer aries by salo. I never heard of a slave attempting to escape. I suppose if he did he would bo recaptured, but the system Is so much part of the Islands that nothing else Is expected. "It Is this kind of people, divided Into hundreds of little tribes or families, with out any bond of unity, that the admlnlB- ratlon is trying to mako self-governing. It can't be done safely for many years.
