Tho Amorlcuit people are nuspirloua of tho good
faith of tho ndrnlnlstriitlon In iirosccutinR tho lioef
tritFt The jtiBt ground o Uiphu suspicions arc llr t
that the Shcrtunn law provides for a criminal prosecu-
tion which would unquestionably be the most effective
remedy and the administration luuj only begun civil
proceedings Tlin tho kgal procecdingu are drugging
Then the 100 other groat trust of the country and In
numorablo Hmnll < > r truBU are being permitted to vio-
late tho Sherman law with Impunity without any sort
ot legal action being taken against them
Tho recent action of the department at Washington
In ordering the district attorney at New OrlttiiiB to
drop tho ease there a alnnt the heef trust has not con-
tributed to Increase the confluence of the people In tho
eallty of the administration prosecution of tho bucf
trust It looks like a fnrce
The excuse given Is that the government did not
want to show its hand and that the civil proceedings
In chancery In Chicago should be allowed to culminate
before doing anything In New Orleans Hut why was
this not thought of before the Now Orleann proceed-
ings were begun They wore begun after action had
been taken In Chicago When the government
throw up tho spongo tho Now Orleans caso had
reached a dramatic crisis and tho government had
everything Itb own way Tho bcof trust people uplrltcd
their books out ot the country It la sultl to Mexico
Tho circuit judge at New Orleans ordered tho produc-
tion of tho books or the commitment of the beef trust
officials to Jail for contempt Tho wltnonsog were or-
dered to nnswor tho grund Jurys questions The Judge
the grand Jury and the district attorney were doing
their duty Everything pointed to n victory for tho
government Huddnnly thoto eomn Instructions from
Washington to drop tho case Why
Will tho president claim that just as Secretary
Koot according to tho presidential opinion In moro
anxious than any other man In tho United States to
stop tho Philippine atrocities so Attorney General
Knox Is more anxious thnn any other man in tho
United States to stop tho beef trust If the prosldent
lalms It will tho people believe It In spile of Sec-
retary Hoots nntiatroclty anxiety the Phlllpplno atroe
Itles continue Tho zeal of Attorney General Knox Is
shown by his clapping tho hoof trust on tho shoulder
with the Iron hand of tho law ami whon tho beef trust
starts and shows slgna of alarm ho straightway takes
it off again
The king of France he had ten thousand men
He marched them up a great big hill and inarched them down
again
The action of the attorney general brings to mind
ancient Dogberry and his Instructions to tho watch
This is your charge You shall comprehend all va
grom men you are to bid nny man stand In tho
princes namo
Watch How if he will not stand
Dogberry Why then take no noto of him but lot
blra go and presently call tho rost of tho wuteh to
gothor and thank God you aro rid of thr knave
If you meet a thief you may suspect him by vlrtuo of
your office to bo no true man nuil for such kind of
men tho less you mctldlo or make with thorn why the

THE PRESIDENT ON COERCION IN THE PHILIP-
PINES
Thero is now almost no policy of coercion In tho
Philippines President Roosovelt writes to Itev
Charjos 13 St John aecretary of tho American Unita-
rian association whleh hns memorialized him Wo do
not tako issuo with tho president ns tq this statement
Tho officers in tho field and tho civilian office lioldors
in the Philippines have announcod that tho war is over
so often that a certain degreo of Incredulity Is permiss-
ible Nevertheless tho war may bo ovor It may havo
been complotcd during the last few doys On May 30
tho president in liia Arlington speech said Just nt
thlB moment the army of tho United states led by
men who served among you in thn groat war is carry-
ing to completion a small but peculiarly trying and dif
ficultwar It was going on then It may Imvo boon
brought to an end since it will bo noticed thnt tho
president dooa not pledge us his word that It Is bo Ho
says Ihqt there Is now almost no policy of coercion
n the Philippines Tltcro Ja much vlrtuo In almobt
In bringing it war to a close up In other things a iuIkh
is hb good as a rae Ending a Avar Is very much Hko
puttlogjout a fire Almost doesnt go It may hlaiso
up again a small burning may speedily turn into a
greatjconflagratlon
There Is one matter however In which jjie > resl
dent does pledge bis word Ho says that In tho Philip
JKi
n
f
pines there never has been any coorclon except such
ns was absolutely inevitable in putting a stop to an
armed attack upon tho sovereignty of tho United
States If tho president makes that statement in good
faith and because of tho respect tide to his high office
wo have no right to assume anything else wo havo
hero In this statement proof positive that the president
has failed to read tho records of the war department
and to Inform himself of tho conduct of tho war We
nro not referring to tho records which havo been cue
cessfully suppressed and which Secretary Itoot may
havo concealed oven from tho eye of tho president but
to tho reports attempted to bo suppressed and ferreted
out by Sonntor Culberson and others end blazoned to
tho world In every newspaper In the land Major Gar-
deners report tho roport of the governor of Hatnngas
In which province 100000 out of a population of 300000
perished tho cases of tho 35o officers and men whom
Senator Lodge ndmltted had been court mnrtlaled for
cruelty tho kill and burn order of aenernl Smith
the case of Lieutenant Arnold and Sergeant Edwards
the case of Captain Glenn tho burner of peaceful vil-
lages are some of tho Instances of coorclon not abso-
lutely Inevitable a coorclon amounting to cruelty and
atrocity contrary to the practices of civilized nations
and forbidden by tho articles of war
These atrocltleB have boon so flagrant as to call for
the memorial of tho American Unitarian association
and also for tho toBolutlon of tho Episcopal convention
of the diocese of Massachusetts Which Hlshop Wlllium
Lawronco recently transmitted to tho president Othor
religious denominations have acted in his Arlington
speech the president admitted that acts of cruelty
had beau committed by the army His statements can-
not bo reconciled tho one with tho other any more
than his policy can be reconciled with the rule of right
THE PRESIDENTS PERTURBATION
Tho president la reported to havo been bo worried
by the Leonard Wood scandal that he left Wost Point
directly for Washington without Joining his family at
Oyster Hay as originally planned
How much worse remains behind In this dlsciedlt
tblo business Is not known to tho democrats or the
people It Is known that Governor Wood spent govern-
ment money very freely in very many ways not au-
thorized by law custom or propriety MIb personal
wine bills whleh tho government is called on to pay
are prodigious lie has paid largo huiih to General
Gomez out ot government funds for utupeeifiod run
sons He has lined large sums of govornvnt money In
lobbying for reciprocity tor Cuba In eonnrcHH and in
advertising the Cuban reciprocity cauiie throughout tho
country
It Is anltl that the president will appeal to tho re-
publicans In congress to stand by the administration In
itB extremity Senator Tollers disclosures concerning
Governor Leonard Wood Sonntor Culborsons resolu-
tion calling for 11 detailed stulomont regnrdlng the
handling of tho government funds durlug Cuban occu-
pation and HeproBontatlvo Hays houso resolution to
the namo effect have seriously alarmed the president
it Is said ho will baso his appeal to republican con
grossmon to stand by him on the absolute necessity
of such support to party success ut tho elections in the
tall and In 1004
The llooscvelt administration hns been Indeed a
strenuous one Somebody Is In hot water nil tho tlmo
Elthor the administration Is attacking somebody or
somebody 1b attacking tho administration or ono of its
protogos without cessation Great questions of policy
aro not the occasion of nil of this battling Nothing of
Importance is being settled Tho recurring troubles
with all their disagreeable features come from elthor
the presidents arrogance or tho arroganco ot his eroa
turvs who Imitate his swnggor and highhanded way of
dealing with things This Ib what is at tho root of tho
Wood case Governor Wood thought hlntaolf close

A CHAPTER OF HORRORS
Washington June it Staff Correspondence One of
the most Interesting documents which has yet been given the
public in connection with the situation In the Philippines Is
he record of courts martial held In the islands This record
was sent to the senate Philippine committee by Secretary
Koot some time ago the evident purpose being to show that
the government by ordering the trial of offenders was doing
all there was to be done toward suppressing lawlessness on
the part of members of our army hi the Islands The recre
tarys letter of transmission docs not stale whether the list is
complete nor to what date it is made up
It is quite possible that the publication of the record in
question may have an effect altogether different from the one
aimed at by the admlnlstrationists 1 lie record shows that
almost every conceivable crime has been committed by Amer-
ican soldiers against Filipinos and there Is absolutely noth-
ing to show that nil of the perpetrators of crimes have been
punished or that cognizance hai been taken of their crimes
The record contains a list of 350 men the cases against whom
have been passed on by courts martial but it Is quite reason-
able to suppose that many other similar crimes have been
committed without anything being known of them and with-
out therefore any trial being ordered A perusal of this roll
of dishonor will serve to give a very good Idea of the char-
acter of some of the alleged patriots who according to the
president arc patiently and uncomplainingly carrying on a
peculiarly trying and difficult war and who arc helping
civilization on to its triumph
It will also have the diicct result of demonstrating the
fsct that while a large number of the officers and men com-
posing the army in the Philippines arc as courageous and as
humane as is consistent with their profession there are also
in the army many whohavo the instincts and the character-
istics which are popularly Supposed to belong only to savages
and which arc by ho means in line with the prating about
our army and our boys which is so constantly being In-
dulged in by those interested in whitewashing the black
record of the republican administration Of course every
army that ever existed cdntajtied its quota of blackguards
sneaks thieves and moral perverts but any one who reads
carefully and closely the courts martial sent in by Secretary
Koot will doubtless bo willing to admit that the United States
army in the Philippine islands contains more than its share
of this class of cattle and hat men who are capable of com-
mitting the crimes told of Jn this record would be capable of
going to any lengths in the murdering of women and children
and in the infliction of savage torture on helpless victim In
other words the stories ofatrocious cruellies do not seem so
unreal and so impossible after one sees in cold type an of-
ficial record such as tbls list of courts martial compiled
by the war department
The iccoul begins on page aoSy of the printed volume of
hearings before the senate committee on Philippines and oc-
cupies some sixty pages It js impossible to give it here in
full but a few extracts from it will show its general charac-
ter It is gratifying to bc ablc to observe thnt in most cases
fitting punishment seems to have been mcled out to men con-
victed by courts martial as qhown by this record and were
it not fus the fact thnt during the past few months the in
cstigjiirm of the minority members of the Philippines com-
mittee Iihc brought outlarge numbers of cases where men
have brrn cleaily shown to be guilty of cruelty but who have
nevertheless gone unpunished or have been made to serve
light sentences it might be mar to appear that the military
authorities 111 ibc islands have > ne everything possible to-
ward making United States kohlier respect the rights of the
natives The icports of Major Gardener andother civil gov-
ernors the cases of Captain Ryan Lieutenant Arnold Ser-
geant Edwards and dozens of others which might be cited if
the records were searched show very clearly that all the men
who hac committed crimes have not been punished and
therefore the courts martial record furnished by the secre-
tary of war is of little value if its sole purpose is to show the
number of convictions that have followed the bringing of
charges
In March 1899 it appears from the record Private Wal-
ter Turnbull Jr of compai jy I Fourteenth infantry engaged
111 the pleasant little pnstiiflc of severely wounding a native
w man on the head with a bayonet then it seems he cre-
ated a disturbance in a native shop by assaulting the proprie-
tor while drunk This
language leaves some doubt as to
whether Turnbull or the native shop proprietor was drunk
bin il would be safe to wager that it was the latter Turnbull
was dishonorably discharged his pay and allowance were for
fcited and n sentence ot tlirec years confinement was im-
posed
In August i8tj9 George T Dow man of company K Ninth
Infantry Stole 20 worth of jewelry from a native woman tn
August of the same > car Patrick J Murphy of company A
Third infantry entered house while
a drunk and abused a
native woman Henr > Kcpiicr who was a member of the
same company as Murphy and who accompanied the latter
In his trespass wounded one native woman with a knife and
threatened another with a cauc All three of these men were
dishonorably discharged
These cases appear on the first page of the record of
courts martial and arc given merely because they arc repre-
sentative of a large number of others which arc to be found
latei on There are doens of instances of larceny of va-
rious amounts and in many of them the victims appear to
have been women

In July 1899 Second Lieutenant William M Capp Sixth
artillery caused without sufficient provocation shots to be
fired from a gunboat on peaceable natives and permitted a
landing party to take a considerable amount of merchandise
from these natives For this bit of pleasantry it seems that
Capp was reprimanded by the reviewing authority but not
punished in any other way
Joseph J Faust of company M Second infantry kicked a
native woman In the lace in October 1899 His only punish-
ment was the forfeiture of 60 cf his pay

tices His pay and allowances were forfeited and he was
given a penitentiary sentence of five years
In March 1900 William II Welch of company A Thirty
sixth volunteer infantry made two attempts at criminal as-
sault on women a native man interfered and was badly used
up by Welch For this crime Welch was dishonorably dis-
charged all pay and allowances were forfeited and he was
sentenced to ten years confinement

eighth volunteer Infantry were sentenced to ten years each
for an attempt at criminal assault Williams sentence was
later made five years
There arc a large number of such cases as these ana in
several instances the punishment metccj out does not seem to
be at all what il should have been The record shows for instance
of the signal did in
stance that William Hlggln corps
March 1901 violently assault two native women with Intent
to commit criminal assault and that he was fined only US
and ordered confined for three months Arthur Butler and
Thonus Walsh who participated in this affair were each
fined Jis anl ordered confined for five months
Frank Miller of company I Twentythird Infantry and
Benjamin Stanley company G Fortyelghth volunteer infantry
assault and sentenced to
try were both convicted of criminal
death Later the sentences of both were changed to dis-
honorable discharge forfeiture of pay and allowances and
confinement at hard labor for a period of twenty years
Willie Wilson of company I Fortyeighth volunteer in-
fantry killed a native woman In August 1900 He was sen-
tenced to be hanged but the president commuted his sen
tence to dishonorable discharge forfeiture of all pay and j
allowances and confinement at hard labor for thirty years I
Charles Hose and Ernest A ONeill were convicted of
criminal assault committed in May 1901 and were each sen
tenccd to thirty years confinement with dishonorable dis-
charge and forfeiture of alt pay and allowances The con-
finement sentences were eventually reduced to five years each
James A Darling of company A Twentyfourth infantry
in July 1901 attempted criminal assault the woman being
badly injured For this he was dishonorably discharged his
pay and allowances forfeited and a sentence of twelve years
confinement imposed Subsequently however this sentence
was reduced to seeti years
In the same month and year in which the crime just re-
ferred to was committed Roscoe F Goodfrcy of company E
Twelfth infantry assaulted a native woman 70 years of age
He was not discharged only ip qf his pay was forfeited
and he was ordered confined for but one month
Edward M Hoodie and James F Caffcy of troop C Third j
cavalry murdered a native boy in November 1900 The re-
viewing authority pronounced the crime of these two men to
be one of peculiar atrocity that might be viewed with horror
by the most debased savage yet they were not sentenced to
death but only to life imprisonment
Another murderer John Allen of company L Thirtysec
ond volunteer infantry was sentenced to only twenty years
imprisonment
William Campbell of company L Fortyfourth volunteer
infantry according tu the records struck a native woman
while she was in a delicate condition etc He was sen-
tenced to but one years confinement
George W Chittenden of company M Sixth infantry
murdered a native in March 1900 He was at first sentenced
to life imprisonment but subsequently the sentence was re-
duced to tweniv years
William Harvey committed criminal assault on a native
woman 60 jcars of age and was sentenced to but ten jcar
imprisonment The details of this crime arc unprintable
Thomas McCIanahan Arthur Smith Clarence Jackson
Isaac Oppenheimer and Harry A Mooney all of the Eighth
infantry were sentenced to confinement ranging from seven
to twenty years for criminal assault on a middleaged native
woman committed in April 1901 Subsequently two of the
twenty j ear sentences were reduced to seventeen jcars each
Thus one might go through he whole list of J50 cases
I he details of the various trials are not given in full and it is
quite likely that many of the crimes would appear to be all
the worse wcrj all the facts connected with them to by made
known The record is particularly prolific of crimes against
women and private advices from the islands would seem to
indicate that many crimes of this character have been com-
mitted and that no punishment has followed
And jet in view of all these facts of the acknowledgment
by Hell Roarin Jake Smith nf the famous kill and burn
order and of the uany instances of atrocious cruelties which
have been brought out during the investigations of the Phil
ippine committee the admiuistratlonists do not hesitate to
say that the army is being maligned that facts are being mis-
represented tor its own sake the respectable clement of the
army no doubt wishes that the American public could know
all there really is to know so that the guilty might be pun-
ished at least by the scorn of public oninion and the innocent
placed in their rll tlLt r 1 it
true light
