OCCUPATION OF
BIhliojt'fhoburn Says
God flftid Americans Must Siay
Mai Hare to Go Hack to Cuba. .
Washington, May, 22. Bishop
Thoburn, o( the Methodist
Episcopal Church of India and
Malaysia, was before the Senate
committee on Philippines today.
He said the American occupation
of tHe Philippine shouldjbe con
tinued. In the course of, his
i
examination ho said that the
American occupati9n was an
act of God. This led to quite a
long line of questions by Sen
ator Patterson, in which the
bishop was asked whether the
occupation of Cuba was ' an act
of God, and when he replied in
the 'affirmative, Senator' Pat-
terson asked if the withdrawal j
was also the act of God. !
"It is. tocfsopu to answer that
. ' .
mav hav? t0 G back lhero.
Senator. Patterson' pursued
the questions to some length and
the bishop finally pronounced
them "metaphysical,"
Senator Beyeridge objected,
saying the questions wero
unnecessary and Senator Pat
terson remarked that whenever
the questions were such as to
bring out evidenee which the
majority did not want an excuse
was made for objection. Chair
man Lodge sustained the
objection. Bishop Thoburn will
continue to-morrow.

night was strifck on th? shoulder
and thrown across the track. lis
