INDIAN REVOLT IS
REPORTED TO BE
GETTING GRAVE
CHINESE UPRISING IS
ADDING TO TROUBLE
Manila Hears That Germans
From Detention Camp Have
Joined Mutiny,
Manila, larch 4. Conditions still
are serious at Singapore as the re
sult of the mutiny among Ipdian
troops early In February, If reports
brought here yesterday by passengers
on the steamer St. Egbert are well
founded.
According to these stories execu
tions are taking place every day in the
public squares of Singapore. Hun
dreds of mutineers are said to be still
at large, and it is considered possible
an entire regiment was involved in
tho revolt.
Germans Join Mutineers.
The latest reports are to the effect
that fifteen Gentians from the deten
tion camp joined the mutineers. Ten
of them have been recaptured, it Is
said, and sentenced to long terms ot
imprisonment. Some iiuarters ol
Singapore still are considered unsafe,
and residents have been ordered to
concentrate In the central sections ot
the city.
The French sailors who were landed
from warships to help quell tho mu
tiny have returned to their vessels,
but the Japanese bluejackets who
came ashore at the same time still are
on duty. '
Chinese Are Blamed.
London, March 4. News of a rising
"among the Mohammedan Chinese in
Singapore" has leaked out thru pri
vate cables to business firms In Lon
don, but there is no Indication of the
extent of the trouble.
The censors have suppressed all
newspaper messages on the subject,
but that the Chinese, who are very
numerous in tho city and Island of
Singapore, havo taken advantage of
tho withdrawal of some or the garri
son and arc making trouble is offl
cially adm(tted.

Judge Manning Intimates That
May Be the Motive Behind
Investigation.
LIKELY TO CALL FOUR.
HUNDRED WITNESSES
Legislative Probe - Committees
Meet But Refuse to Hear
Evidence Until 22nd.
Raleigh, N. C, March 4 "1 am ap
prised of tho desire to put the screws
on and forcy a resignation ot Judge
Carter," stiys Judge J. S. Manning in
a signed statement given tho News
and Observer.
"I am not unaware of the sugges
tion that a satls-fuctory apology to So.
licilor Abernethy would have resulted
in withdrawing all the charges. Hut
what man with any respect for himself
could for a moment entertain either
suggestion ?'
Judge Manning is of the couusel for
Judge Frank Carter. . ,
His statement simply bristles with
question marks which will not bo
answered until March 22.
H will be remembered that the in
vestigating committee asked for a
second resolution, giving U larger pow.
erB.
Judge Manning's stute-nient puts a
fomewhat different construction upon
liiis request of the committee.
I'nder the general law, the person
at whose instance a witness is sum
moned shall pa)' the bill.
It was current rumor about tho
investigating committee's room Unit
one i-ide Intended bringing 100 wit
nesses from New Berne alone. Judge
Manning asks if Solicitor Abernethy
is unwilling to carry the burden im
posed on him by law?
The second resolution says tho
slate shall pay the bill, and Judge
Maiming asks if Solicitor Abernethy
was ignorant of the provisions of tha
general law?
Judge Manning says It Is evident
that Representative Clark, who intro
duced the resolutions,-hud no personal
knowledge of the ease. He assumes
that some person bad given 4iiiu speci
fications, for it would have beeu a se
rious imputation upon Clark to have
assumed these charges were based
only on gossip of slanderous tongues.
Has the Information..
. Representative Clark later told the
committee that he could give the
names of the persons whose state
ments had convinced him, and upon
which he had acte.
This Is the information Judge (far
ter's attorneys have been trying to get
since February z2.
The statement says that the origi
nal resolutions were submitted to one
of Mr. Abernethy's attorneys and a
correction made in them by him m
to charges of Carter's immoral con
duct, and draws attention to the fact
that Judgo Carter is faced by the tos.
sibillty of having to resign or hold
courts for two years under cbarges of
Impeachment. If the charges are un
supported, then his vindication must
wait two years.
Tho legislative probe committee met
again yesterday afternoon. There
wore no attorneys or witnesses, pres
ent. Chairman, Houghton said the com
mittee simply talked over tho case,
that they will devote what time they
can to it between now and tho ad
journment f the legislature, lha
thpy are going home then and don't
expect to return to Raleigh until
March 22 when the investigation begins.
SOUTHERN
A
L
L RATES TO
BE
PROBED
Washington, March 4. Charges that
the Southern railway had discrimi
nated against certain coal fields In the
interest of coal trusts were referred
to the interstate commerce commis
sion for Investigation in a report by
the senate subcommittee that investi
gated them. Only a question of rates
is Involved.
The subcommittee's investigation
resulted from a resolution by Sena
tor Klllman. Extended hearings were
held at which U. L. IJulaney, an inde
pendent operator of Bristol, Tenn.,
charged that the Southern had cut off
the natural outlet for coal by main
taining high rates to Atlantic porta
south of Norfolk. The subcommittee
in Its report said Dulancy had pro
duced much evidence against the re
asonableness of the rates but added
that the Southern had been given no
chance to present its side of the case.
The subcommittee recommended
that since the entire question is now
before the Interstate commerce com
mission no appropriation be made for
further hearings.

A new spirit has taken hold of the
prisoners In New York State's prison
at Sing Sing. It is a spirit of co
operation, a spirit that makes them
forget that they are criminals and
they are dealt with not as enemies
of society but rather as victims of
their environment. It is Warden
Thomas Mott Osborne's belief that a
criminal can bo reformed only by
humane treatment. With this end lit
view he has instituted an entirely new
system at Sing Sing. The men are
allowed more liberty and democrat
ically govern and guard themselves.
It Is Osborne's ambition to turn out
reeluimed members of socletv rather
than bitter enemies of law and order,
and his plans augur of success.

II Is considered in influential circles
In Holland that Hie efforts of the
American commission of relief to save
the civilian population of Ilelglutn
from starvation Is thus threatened
with immediate danger, as Rotterdam
Is the only practical port thru which
tho llelgians can he fed, and It Is
argued Hist Die relief ships must bt
able In proceed to nnd from that port
by tho direct route with a safe con
duct under rhu commission's flag, or
the whole work of relief will become
absolutely hopeless for practical rea
sons. Minister Van Dyke's View,

ing apprised of this report, said:
"I am Infinitely sorry for this. I
have done my best to get a better an

not. Just now the case looks dark.
