They went into it as lightly and with as little sense of resionsibiilty as if they were changing the local personnel of federal office holders in a state.

They consulted no one who knew the situation except the very Filipino politicians into whose arms they were throwing themselves. Mr. Wilson had criticised such, a policy in the Philippines before he came into office when he was writing his constitutional government. Yet ho has permitted authorized Mr. Harrison to bring discredit on the United States in dealing with the Philippine Islands by the very policy he condemned.

Will they act? STREET SINKS ANEW INTO SUBWAY NEW YORK, Sept. 25. Nearly a whole block of Broadway in the heart of the "white light" district, suddenly collapsed tonight over a portion of the new subway in process of construction. Two automobiles and a number of1 pedestrians -were hurled into the thirty-foot pit that suddenly yawned between Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth streets. Early reports to the police said that about half a dozen persons were injured but that there were no la-i talltles.

It was New York's second caveln within a week. Oh Wednesday more than a block of Seventh avenue over a portion the new subway went down a deafening roar, carrying with It a loaded- street car and crushing out the lives of seven persons, Scpres of persons were injured. DISASTEH AVERTED. A similar disaster was averted tonight by the presence of mind of a motorman.

Taft, ex-President, and former governor-general of the Philippine Islands, severely criticises President Wilson and, Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison of the Philippines for their work of disorganization of government and of misrule of the Filipinos. He refers to the Wilson-Harrison policy In the islands as blind and foolish. He charges President Wilsou with bringing discredit on the United States-in dealing with the Philippine Islands by the very policy he in his "Constitutional Govewi-rrient." Summing up, Mr. Taft says: 'Ultimately, however, the sorrowful story of Philippine misrule will reveal Itself to the American people, and they will lay It alongside the bloody chaos which has com after our Intervention In Mexico and ponder. Wilt they act?" By WILLIAM I have read with much interest Mr.

O. Garfield Jones' article on present conditions in the Philippines-' published recently; in The Tribune. It is not news to mey What lieNsayi of the den-ioral-' izatlon in the present government, due to the blind and foolish policy of President Wilson and Governbr-General Harrison, is confirmed by every report that I receive from the islands. The work of tjie United States in the last three Republican administrations reflected great credit on the country before the world. The chief reason for the success was in the policy adopted of governing the islands for the benefit of th-4OlSiB0s and-L the gradual organization of a civil service of trained Americans, Instituted with a sincere and earnest desire to conform to and promote that policy.

The result was that in fifteen years we had gathered together to make up the controlling part of the government as fine a body of colonial public servants as there was anywhere In the world. They had an esprit de corps hot excelled anywhere. They knew their task, they were enthusiastic in its discharge; and they found their reward not in high salaries, for" they did not receive them but in the pleasure of Increasing the efficiency of the government and its real usefulness to the Filipino people. NOT TREATED JUSTLY. The United States government and the Philippine government did not treat them Justly.

They should have been granted a system of pensions after long service. But, in spite of this defect, they continued' In service, hoping for more generous treatment and happy in the thought of their opportunity for usefulness. It rouses my deepest indignation to hear these single-minded, self-sacrificing public servants called "carpet baggers," as they have been by the New York World in its blindly partisan support of this Indefensible policy of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Harrison.

Why is it necessary to do such gross injustice to deserving Americans merely to bolster up a party FILiriXO WANTS I have noted the statement as -to the modification of the Immediate independence propaganda among the Filipinos with especial Interest. I have no doubt that it Is true. The independence campaign was only political. What the Filipino politicians want Is the offices. Now that they are dividing these with some Democratic politicians, equally inefficient, they arc not so eager for independence.

They are quite content if hey can use the gov- I emor-general as they are using mm ana appoint an xneir mentis to office, to have the United States stand back of an inefficient and UemoraTIzeii govertimFht amT protect it from -absorption by Japan or some European ower. It is a confession that they are not fitted for self-government. OUR PROBLEM. What the people of the United States, however, will have to decide POLICE SPRING COUNTERFEIT TRAP Accused of complicity In what Consul R. P.

De Negri, representative of Vbe a gigantic counterfeit scheme. Frank an Alameda merchant, was arrested today with William Maxwell of San Francisco, and Is being held across the bay on a counterfeiting charge. The charge' grows out of an attempt on the part of the two men to sell $550,000 of alleged Carranza money to the consul for 18,000. 'According to De Nigrl's story, he was addressed by the men some time ago, offered the money and asked to send at representative lo see them. This ha did, 4 and his.

According to the Mexican, consul there Is no. way in which so large a sum of money as that claimed to be in the men's possession could have reached America.

The indictments charge conspiracy to defraud by use of the United States mail. The scheme, say the federal oflicers, was designed, to defraud thousands of gullible Investors, promising them millions for their savings. CILUIGES CONSPIRACY. Nicholson, on his made sensational counter charges, which, the "detectives on the case -say, will be.

He declared that his arrest was the result of an inner conspiracy, designed to keep him out of Portland, where a United States oftl- Hal was attempting to secure a $'300, 000 mine for practically nothing. Nicholson and ook were arrested a year ago in Oregon on- land fraud charges. At that time were but two other meii, C. Connors and J.
