THE ENQUIRER, CINCINNATI, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1925 13 AGITATORS Responsible For Talk Philippine Independence, Judge Tells Forum. Island Masses Have No Quarrel With America, Chamber of Commerce Group Learns. Political agitators, who constitute less than 10 per cent of the 40,000 mixed bloods in a population of more than 12,000,000 Filipinos, are responsible for the propaganda circulated in the United. States which purports to demand the independence of the Philippine Islands from the United States, Judge John W. Haussermann, of New Richmond, Ohio, former Judge Advocate of the Philippines under William Howard Taft, said yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce Forum in behalf of the Chamber of the Philippine Islands.

Judge. Haussermann charged these agitators for independence conthe Legislature and the newspapers of the islands, and that they actually are spending $500,000 annually of the money of the Filipino Government to spread this propaganda through the United States. "The great masses of the Philippines are inarticulate," said the speaker, "but from my 27 years of residence among them I can gay, fear of contradiction, that they want the Americans to stay in control, and resent nothing more than the domination of the agitators. They are appreciative of the civilization which America has produced in the Philippines, and they have no quarrel with America or the Americans. They know that we gave them rights, liberties and advantages which they had never before enjoyed, and I can say that the Filipino people have more personal liberty than any American citizen and the Filipino Government has more rights and prerogatives.

than any state government in the Union. "The Filipino does not have to pay Federal income tax, while the Americans in the Islands must do so. He is not subject to the draft and does not have the Volstead act applied to him. The Filipino Legislature can enact its own tariff laws subject only to the COLDS THAT DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble.

RICHARDSON, Mgr. veto of the President of the United States. The only restriction held by the American Government is execstive control in the hands of the Governor General and control over the purse strings through the Insular auditor. "From 1915 to 1921 we had a Governor General who voluntarily renounced his rights and powers. The result was chaos.

The native politicians played fast and the public funds until $40,000,000 had been lost through the Philippine National Bank alone and General Leonard Wood had to come to the rescue and save the bankrupt ship of state. This was not to be wondered at. You cannot expect a people to acquire in 20 years the art of self-government which it has taken our own race many centurles to acquire imperfectly. The Filipinos fell under the crucial test and they would fall again if the independence wished on them by their pseudo friends were actually given They are not super-men. The fanatics in this country expected too much and they were naturally disappointedussermann paid a high tribute to former President McKinley and to Chief Justice Taft and eral Wood.

said that they spread civilization in the Philippines schools, colleges, hospitals, churches and welfare institutions which had never existed in the 300 years of Spanish domination when the people were little better than serfs. He said that what the Americans have done in the Philippines has had a far political effect all through the and due to this reaching, uplifting, liberalizing influence, the submerged masses of these populations have found a new dawn of freedom and progress. NEGRO BOY Succumbs To Injury Received in Fall When Jostled in Classroom- -Companion Held Pending Investigation. One negro boy is dead and another is being held by Juvenile Court authorities, while police and Juvenile Court officers are investigating to learn Just what occurred at the Harriet Beecher Stowe School, Seventh and Cutter streets, yesterday afternoon that caused the fatality. Leroy White, 14 years old, of 322 LLaurel street, is dead, and Jefferson Gentry, 15 years old, 8405 Dixie avenue, Hartwell, is held by the Juvenile Court authorities, for the White boy's death was caused by striking his head against a school desk in the school room where both boys were pupils, he having been knocked senseless, and died without having regained consciousness.

According to the report received by police, the boys got into an argument in the school room and the Gentry boy struck the White boy in his face, knocking him down, and as he fell his head struck the sharp edge of the desk his skull. This version differs from the story told to Juvenile Court officers, to the effect that school just had been dismissed and the boys were marching out in line, and, as boys do, were pushing and shoving each other in the line. The Gentry boy pushed the White boy, who slipped and fell, and in falling his head hit the desk. Assistant Principal William Calman told Chief Probation Officer A. C.

Crouse, of Juvenile Court, that in his opinion the fatality was due to an cident, and that the Gentry boy had not intended to injure young White, who lost his balance and ted. Crouse ordered the Gentry boy to be held in Juvenile Detention Home until the matter has been investigated fully. Coroner D. C. Handley directed that an examination of the dead boy be made to ascertain the cause of death.

"Politics is social service." With this statement Henry Bentley, President of the City Charter Committee, epitomized the charter group's campaigning and subsequent victory at the polls a week ago in an address before the Cincinnatus Association last night. Mr. Bentley said that the citizens of Cincinnati always have been willto aid in any social service movement, but always had considered politics as a corrupt practice. And to politics the Cincinnatians relegated the chores of the city such as the cleaning of the streets, awarding of contracts and the Innumerable small Jobs of the municipal government. But until the advent of the city charter the possibility of lending a helping hand or doing something worth while through the medium of politics never was considered, although the practice of linking the two social service and politics--was the rule in some European he said.

"Intelligence Evinced." The general intelligence of Cincinnatians was evinced, Mr. Bentley said, by the utter absence of blocs 1 in the election. This was shown in the manner in which the citizens voted, for example, voting for a Democrat and Catholic for first choice and givtheir second choice to a Republican and Protestant, he sald. John D. Ellis, a member of the Charter Committee, in his talk before the association last night, said that, inasmuch as Mary L.

Hicks was the only woman candidate among the aspirants for councilmanic honors, surprise was expressed that no woman's bloc was In evidence at the election. The carrying through tabulations of the one vote cast for Dr. Bertha C. Lietze, who was not a candidate for Council, cost the county $1,000, Ellis said. The aid of prominent persons at the polls as challengers had a good effect on politicians, Ellis said.

In one case a well-known manufacturer was stationed in booth in one of the downtown wards. A political worker of the old school, when he was made acquainted with the challenger's identity, said: "My God, I'm breaking into society." G. 0. P. Method Criticized.

Methods used by the Republican organization, by delegating certain wards to certain candidates, were said by Mr. Ellis to have been, in degree at least, responsible for the 4 Republican defeat, inasmuch as the voting for the entire six was not advocated. The recent election, Mr. Ellis averred, was the largest proportional representation election ever conducted in the United States. This election also proved that it is less costly to held one proportional representation election than it was to hold a primary then a regular "bird ballot" election.

Thirty thousand dollars was saved by doing away with the use of the primary, the Cincinnatus Associawas told. A great deal of credit is due to the organization built by the charter group, Mr. Ellis said. It was an organization that equaled in numbers that of Hynicka. And through this organization some of the "offcolor" registrations of the Republicans were challenged, such as in one instance 16 persons registering from a vacant house on Sycamore street.

Particular tribute was paid by both Mr. Bentley and Mr. Ellis to the Board of Elections for its work in handling and counting the ballots. John B. Hollister spoke to the assoclation on freight rates.

He said that three briefs had been fled with the Interstate Commerce Commission with view to bringing a reduction of freight rates to vicinities that affect Cincinnati business. Chalmers Hadley, librarian of the Cincinnati Public Library, addressed the club the institution of which he is head." "SPONSOR" WENT SOUTH, So He Must Report To Court, Paroled Policeman Learns. Alfred H. Wiese, 4158 Witler street, former patrolman attached to the Fourth Police District, who was one of a number of former Cincinnati policemen paroled from the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Saturday, found himself "up against: it" when, upon his arrival in Cincinnati, he learned that the man chosen to be his sponsor and to whom he is required to report under the terms of his parole, had succumbed to the Florida fever and had gone to Florida to look after real estate investments there. Wiese yesterday sought an andience with United States District Judge Smith Hickenlooper, to whom he explained his situation and requested advice.

The Court undertook to act temporarily in place of the "sponsor." and directed Wiese to communicate with the Parole Board with a view to having another person designated to take the place of the original sponsor. All of the former Cincinnati DOlicemen who were paroled from At-. lanta arrived home yesterday. SUPREME COURT DOCKET. Columbus, Ohio, November 10 (A.

An analysis of the present state football in the different sections of the country was made at the noon luncheon of the American Business Club at the Hotel Gibson yesterday by Dr. George McLaren, football coach at the University of Cincinnati.

The chief point stressed by Coach McLaren was that those who are inclined to wager on football teams should not base their calculations on the record team entirely, but should consider condition of the then team on the day the game is played, the elements and other contributing factors. Although expressing sorrow that Northwestern had won the game from Michigan last Saturday in the sea of mud, Coach McLaren said that for playing shrewd football. He Northwestern must be given that game was a splendid example that no one could correctly "dope" a game before played. The club, in to increase its 'order athletic prowess, started a bowling league.

Whitfield, was acquitted by Judge Stanley Struble Jury of the first degree murder charge for having killed City Patrolman Clifford Cornish September 13 last, he was not released from the county jail, for, it is alleged, he egcaped from the Montgomery County Jail two years ago, after having served but half of a nine- sentence for violating the narcotic laws, and it is probable that he will be turned over to the Federal Government, as his sentence was in Federal Court.
