According to Chief Helntx' Informs' Prevention Would Cost Bloodshed, Says General Mclntyre Liberty Promise Substitute Asked. WASHINGTON. Dec. 15. Brigadier- General Frank Mclntyre, chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, fold the Sen ate Philippines committee today that Po'ygamy could not be prevented in the Philippines without great blood shed. He recommended that a paragraph prohibiting plural marriages be elimi nated from tbe pending bill to give the Filipinos a greater degree of self-government. The General said polygamy was gen eral among- some of the Moros. the wealthier classes regarding many wives as a mark' of high distinction. He suggested that a paragraph providing that no laws should ever be enacted permitting plural marriages would end the practice eventually. For the pledge in the bill's preamble that independence will be granted when the Filipino people are fitted for it. General Mclntyre submitted the sub stitution of a promise of independence when, in the Judgment of the United States, it would be to the permanent in terest of the people of the Islands, who, he said, had objected to being; denom inated as even temporarily unfitted for independence.

Weather report, data and forecast. Pag 19. For the past two weeks creditors of Irving; . W. Rosenthal, manager of the Elby Company, pawnbrokers and money-lenders, with offices at 320 Lum ber Exchange building, have been on a still hunt for missing diamonds valued all the way from 15000 to ,15,000, and perhaps even more. Nobody seems to know just how much they are worth. It has not yet been ascertained definitely what dia monds are missing, except that their number and value Is considerable. These diamonds, pledges on which Rosenthal had advanced small loans to owners in financial straits, he had taken from his office safe prior to suf fering a "nervous breakdown"on Sun day. November 28. Creditors Try to I -orate Cash. They are thought to be reposing somewhere in other pawnshops about town where he re-hypothecated them. At the isame time that they are searching for the diamonds, the credit ors are trying to learn, what has be come of some $9000 in cash, which Rosenthal is known to have obtained from other pawnbrokers and loan agencies by re-hypothecating diamonds of his customers. Not a trace of, this money has been . obtained as yet, though the day before his illness Rosenthal got more than 13000 on diamonds in the manner de scribed. Rosenthal's "nervous breakdown" oc curred at a peculiarly crucial time in his business affairs. Only the day before, Saturday, No vember 27. be had redeemed with bad checks a number of diamonds, worth $5000 or more, which he had previously put "in hock" with other brokers for much larger sums than he had origi nally lent on them., Previous Reputation Good. In at least one case, after obtaining the diamonds on his personal check for the loan due on them, he turned around and repledged part of them, thus obtaining cash to boot. He appeared the same day at other loan offices with diamonds, on which he obtained good-sized loans when be represented that he wished to raise a considerable amount of cash at once. His previous business reputation bad been so good, as one broker expressed t. "that if he said he would pay you at a certain minute, you knew you would have your money at that time exactly or that he would be on the telephone explaining to you he had , been delayed and would be up shortly. His word was absolutely good." Consequently, on his representations of urgency, he had little difficulty la ' getting money on, the diamonds. ' . Many Diamonds Missing;. He obtained cash in this manner from at least two other brokers, and from how many others is not known. The fact remains that diamonds belonging to pustomers other than those on which be obtained money in the places men tioned, are missing. When the checks paid out by Rosen thal on Saturday, November 27. began coming back tne louowing wee. marked "not sufficient funds" Rosen thal was at the Mountain View Sani tarium under treatment for nervous breakdown. One of his most pronounced symp toms was loss of memory in nearly everything connected with his busi ness. Otherwise his memory was ap parently normal. This loss of memory has persisted with his return from the sanitarium to the Fordham Apartments, where he lives with his family. One thing Rosenthal was able to remember," however, was that he owed various other creditors than the pawnbrokers affected approximately $6000. If this recollection, is correct, the total amount in cash which has disappecred through his hands would be approximately ,l-",000. Stock: Market Play Suspected. One of the greatest ppzzles is what Rosenthal could have done with this money. Every effort to trace it has failed. Those who know him express themselves as convinced that whatever he did with the money was done within the week or two prior to his sudden illness, and much of the money must have been disposed of on the same Sat urday that he issued the bad checks. Rosenthal is said to have dropped a hint that he had lost considerable sums on wheat. Investigation has shown that if he played the stock market game, it was not heavily. Creditors who' stand to lose heavily by the tangle in .Rosenthal's affairs on Monday of this week agreed upon John Fletcher, manager of the Accommoda tion Loan Company, to act as trustee in (Concluded ou Page 4.
