HEALTH CONDITIONS G00D0NISLANDS Conference Hears Reports from Many Men Who Know Conditions.

How Roosevelt, of Patrician Stock, Became a Champion of the People

LAKE NOBONK, Oct. 28. Addresses by Colonel L. Marvin Maus, the first commissioner of health of the Philippine Islands, the Rev. James B. Rodgers, pastor of the Presbyterian Mission, P. I., and Major John P. Finley, governor of the district of Zan Zoanga, P. I., were delivered before the delegates to the Lake Mohonk Conference of friends o fthe Indians

and other dependent people which was recently in seseion here. Colonel Maus stated that little attention was paid to sanitation by the Spanish Philippine authorities during their control. The colonel stated that the old death list of 3000 daily during epidemics of disease has been cut down to a figure that compared well with the vital statistics of any part of the United States. He reviewed the means by which this transformation had been made at length. The Rev. Doctor Rodgers spoke of the strange religion prevalent among the Philippine Islands. He stated that although Christianity had been advanced by the Spaniards and Americans alike, it had made little impression in outlying districts. The address of Major Finley dealt chiefly with the Moros. Major Finley aid in part: "The establishment of civil government in" the Philippines in 1903 still left a function for the army to perform in the control of the Moros of the Southern Islands similar to that which has long been performed In relation to the Indian tribes of the western part of the United States. Major General Leoneard Wood, U. S. A., the first governor of Moro Province, in his dual capacity of civil administrator and military commander, laid the foundations deep and stable for the uplifting of the savage people

of the Moro country. The isolation and peculiar religious prejudices of the Moro and Pagan tribes, coupled with their barbario state, make school progress a difficult task. The racial prejudices of the Moros and Pagans against the Philippino prevents the latter from engaging in the work of instruction. Yet the hold upon the masses by the Ignorant, fanatical and vicious native priests can be broken and replaced by a more enlightened and progressive knowledge of the. truths and virtues of modern Mohammedanism. A Moro ignorant of his true obligations to Islam, and therefore to his fellowmen, is a serious menace to his people and to the government. Hand In hand with the properly adapted system of mental development of these people must go their industrial evolution. The availability of these people for material development has been shown by the success of the Moro exchange system inaugurated, at Zamboanga in 1904. The basis of the system is . a commercial arrangement of public markets and trading stores that enables tho Moroa and Pagans to secure for products of their labor, the current market price in cash, and protects them by government supervision from exploitation and the evils of the vicious credit system of the old Spanish regime.

Will Irwin, magazine writer and associated with the Progressive national headquarters, asked Col. Roosevelt a question as the Progressive candidate started his swing through the northwest. He asked the Colonel how it was that he, a member of the Fifth avenue set in New York, born and reared with class feeling; had come to be the leader of a movement "which is for every man and woman, without consideration of class and wealth." What the Colonel answered, as put down by Will Irwin, follows in part: "We have all changed our old views. That is what the Progressive move

ment means. The two generations thought differently. Progressivism is the thought of a new generation. Hardly one of us Progressives but is in a sense a convert we all did conscientiously in those days something or other which we would shudder to contemplate now. "I went to college and came back with my ready made set of Fifth avenue and university ideas. Being good was a matter of philanthropy giving some of your income to relieve distress. Economy was a matter of statistics. "When I first thought about public life I saw the two political parties hard and fast in the hands of a gang. You know the old system. When I

I went to the bottom of the thing, as I thought then. I think here I got my first glimmering idea of real social service. I wanted to do something for people like that something for men. "That's the set of ideas which I brought with me into the Civil Service

I had read In his stories about real conditions in New York, and I said to him, 'Let's get In and work together. Let's do something to make this real.' " It was fight, fight all the time, that Police Commissioner job. But after all I was fighting only the professional grafters bloated, fat thieves, who got their money as they could and spent it in champagne baths and debauches up the Hudson such as Tweed used to hold. On the one side were those fellows and on the other a set of sappy idealists who couldn't be got to understand. I didn't understand much myself. Still the gang was in the back of my head all the time. "I became Governor of New York.

While at the university he lost hi3 nose in a duel and replaced it with a nasal organ of gold, held in place by cement and a pair of spectacles. This addition to his countenace gave him a very peculiar appearance and caused him to be much feared by the common people, who attributed to him many supernatural - powers, largely on account of hi remarkable nose.

Paul Stevens, officials of the Chesapeake and Ohio, passed througn Richmond Sunday afternoon on their way to Chicago. The officials are making an inspection trip over the whole road and are tracing freight cars belonging to the road. From Chicago the party will go to Toledo, O., where they will go over the proposed site for the $2,000,000 ore and coal docks. Very few of the missing cars are in Richmond as an exchange between the Pennsylvania and the C. & O. takes place here and at Cincinnati.

The committee of sixty, appointed

by the Commercial club to secure 100 new members, in two hours, after a

luncheon today at noon in the club

rooms, began to canvass the city. It is believed that the number will be

In a fast game from start to finish the Quaker City football team met defeat at the tupds of the local eleven on Trainor's field yesterday afternoon by the score of 20 to 6. Greenville could do nothing with the Richmond line but used the forward pass with good effect. Richmond gained considerable ground on line plunges and end runs.

FILED PETITION A road petition was filed with the county auditor this morning signed by the Richmond City Water Works company, Minor Wasson, Joseph W. Frame, Eunice F. Frame, Clement V. Carr, George M. Cummins and James A.

The petition also asks that the road be legally recorded as a public highway.

Chimneys. Chimneys are modern that Is, chimneys with fireplaces and flues. None of the Roman ruins shows chimneys like ours. There are none in the restored buildings in Herculaneum and Pompeii. Roman architects complained that their decorations were smoked up. A kitchen in Rome was always sooty. Braziers were used in the living rooms. The chimney of antiquity consisted of a hole in the roof. The wealthy Ro jnans used carefully dried wood, which would burn iu the room without soot The modern chimney was first used in Europe in the fourteenth century. The oldest certain account of a' chimney plaeesJt la Venice in 1347.

"From iy2 to 2 per cent of the school children have organic heart disease. "Probably 5 per cent at least, have now or have had tuberculous disease of the lungs. "Probably 5 per cent have spinal curvature, flat foot, or some other moderate deformitory serious enough to interfere to some degree with health. "Over five per cent have defective hearing. "About 15 per cent have defective vision. "About 25 per cent are suffering from malnutrition, in many cases due in part at least to one or more of the. other defects enumerated. "Over 30 per cent have enlarged tonsils, adenoids, or enlarged cervical glands whicl need attention. "Over 50 per cent, have defective teeth, which are interfering with their, health. "Several millions of school children possess each, two or more of these handicapping defects." One of the school examiners said: "The most Important of all our national resources is the health of the people. The most valuable asset in our capital of national vitality is the health of our children. "Public education Is the logical, the strategic and the responsible agency of the nation, of each state and of each community for the conservation

and enhancement of child health. "To become an effective instrument for the protection and promotion of child health, it is necessary that the school should not only be a sanitary, healthful place for children, but that the various agencies in public education should be given the best possible opportunity to escape weakness and disease and far more to realize the attainable best in growth, in development of biologic, intellectual, moral and economic power."

DID RYAN DIRECT THE DYNAMITING? Witness Cook Today Asserted Such Was the Case. Webb a Dynamiter?

(National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 28. That Henry Legleitner of Pittsburg, a member of the executive board of the Iron

workers union visited headquarters in Indianapolis, bringing a nitroglycerine carrying case, in 1910, was the testi-j mony today of former bookkeeper J. i B. Cook, who also declared that President Ryan held a secret conference with Ortie McManigal, the confessed ' dynamiter, at the International head- j quarters in August. 1910. The defense j claimed that President Ryan knew J nothing of McNamara's dynamiting I and had never seen the man. Cook al- i

so told how intently worried J. J. McNamara was after the explosion of the Times building in Los Angeles. Cook testified that McNamara drew a check for $200 in favor of executive board member Frank Webb, of New York, using the famous private "little blue checkbook," which the prosecution alleges figured in all dynamite campaign payments. Cook testiled that

Webb did all his work under direction from President Ryan. The defense claimed that Webb was ignorant of the dynamiting. Mr. Cook's testimony was a aevere blow to the attempt on the part of the defense to shoulder all responsibility for the dynamite job on J. J. McNamara.

STORM BUGGIES

WITH OUTSIDE SLIDING DOORS This is our outside sliding door storm buggy which has the freaks and faults of other outside eliding door storm buggies eliminated. It is not an experiment or uncertainty, but the result of our efforts to reach the ideal in the construction of an outeide sliding door. The greatest fault heretofore with out side sliding door storm buggies has been the operation (or rather ncn-operation) of the doors. Most of them are made with the doors to slide on tracks that are on the outside of the top. exposed to the weather. The tracks being made of iron and not protected, become rusty and form a catch-all for mud, sand and water, which freezes and prevents the doors working freely. We have overcome all these objections common to other outbid' Eliding door storm buggies by our method of construction. The upper track is protected from the elements of the weather by the side quarters, which extend over it, and the lower track i on the underneath edge of the frame. Thus the doors always elide perfectly smooth and easy. SOLD ONLY BY US Jones Hardware Co.
