prosecution of those persons living In Mis-

would have to be found by the Cole County
Grand Jury, the deal was made at Jeffer-
son City.

Prospects OF financial legislation dur
ing the coming winter are very slight
representative Hill of Connecticut, who
was the ranking member of the last
House Committee on banking and cur
rency, admits that the republicans are
Considering plan of appointing Joint
committee which will investigate the
need of currency legislation and make
recommendation to Congress. 1t Is not
known whether the committee would
be chosen by Congress or appointed 10y
the President, from the members OF
each house. The investigation would
be thorough and would postpone any
congressional action on the subject OF
finance until after the presidential cam
paign. This is regarded by reoubll-
cans as a good political move, for the
party is divided both on the necessity
for and kind of financial legislation.

1t looks serious away off there across
the Pacific ocean where Russia and ia
pan are glowerlng at each other across
the narrow Korean peninsula. 1t will
mean the end of Japans bright visions
if Russia not only retains her grip on
the Chinese province of Manchuria but
besides lays violent hands Oh Korea, a
territory which Japan hopes to domin
ate and for whose freedom from Russian
control it is believed Japan will fight.
Without aid Japan would be entirely
overmatched and, on land at least, she
would be quickly overwhelmed. On the
water, however. Japan would be at no
disadvantage, in fact, her navy is more
modern and by many believed to be su.
perior TO Russia's.
