Manila Sept. 3. Ceremonies in the palace marked the inauguration of Dr Pardo de Tavera and Benito Leard as Philippine commission members. Jose Re Luzariaga missed the oath due to illness.

The commission will be partly American and Filipino, aiming to let natives guide local needs while demonstrating American governance. The governor urged practical work over theory, noting legislative work began yesterday and progress should continue into the next year.
