Final Action on Philippine
 Bill Taken in Congress

Washington, August 1S.-Final action on the Philippine bill promising indepen- dence to the islands as soon as a stable government Is established was taken in the House today when the conference report was adopted and the measure pre- pared for President Wilson's signature. Manuel Quezon, Philippine delegate. told the House the bill was signal victory for the cause of human liberty and very decisive step toward the complete eman- cipation of the Filipino people,
 In statement issued later MT. Quezon said in part:
 ''The United States are, by this legisla- tion, committed to grant the Philippines their independence as soon as a stable government can be established in the islands. It is a solemn pledge that no faithful and honorable nation could re- pudiate.
 Beginning from today we shall use this legislation to remind the American people that they have promised us in- dependence and when the government provided for in the act is established we shall run that government in a way that will show the world that we are in fact a nation, capable of fulfilling our obliga- tions to ourselves and to other peoples, and fully competent to live an independen: life. We are bent upon convincing the American people within the next year or two that stable government can be established in the islands. Then, having fulfilled the condition imposed, inde- pendence will be forthcoming"

This Is Reason State Shows More Infantile Paralysis
 Than Some Others
TANGIBLE ASSETS OF
 THE L. & N. S2S,259,21O
This Is $1,00O,OOO Increase Over As- sessment Last Year by Board. Burkett Is Named Probate
 Judge of Houston

Montgomery, August 1S.-(Special.) Because Alabama has reported the great est number of infantile paralysis cases of any southern state at the infantile paralysis conference in Washington, does not mean that this state has more of the disease than it's sister states This was pointed out today by the state de- partment of health
 It was shown that the reason for Ala bama's lead in the number of the cases reported lies in the fact that the health system of this state is more thorough and accurate than in any other southern state. The state department keeps in constant touch with every county and every case of infantile paralysis has been reported directly to the department.
 pr. Glenn Andrews of Montgomery, who is representing Alabama at the Wash ington conference reported 64 cases In Alabama up to August IA. Since then three more cases have developed. Dr. Andrews is member of the state board of health.

Report on Gasoline
 Prices to Be Heard

Washington, August 1s.-G. c. Todd, as- slstant attorney general in charge of anti trust prosecutions, met with the federal trade commission today and listened to some of the information it has collected to report to Congress on the causes for the rise in the price of gasoline. The de- partment of justice has kept an eye on the companies into which the old Stand ard Oil company was dissolved under the supreme court decree several years ago, but never has discovered evidence to show that the decree has been vio- lated
 MT. Todd tonight declined to discuss the value of the evidence collected by the trade commission, but it was understood that so far the department of justice had not determined whether there Is new information in government hands suffi- cent to warrant proceedings.
 Officials of the commission had hoped to send the gasoline report to Congress this week, but have found the facts so complicated that it probably will not be ready for another week at least.

CONVICTED CHIEF
 IS GOOD WITNESS IN OTHER CASES
Girard Officer Charged With Taking Bribes Tells Whole Story, Implicat-
 ing Men Higher Up"

Montgomery, August 1s.-(Special)
 John Oaks, convicted chief of po-
 lice of Girards has proven the states
 most valuable witness in the prosecu-
 tion of the bribery cases in connection

 ing to Assistant Attorney General

 eral w. L. Martin, returned to Mont gomery late last night from Girard,
 where they were in charge of the
 grand jury. Oaks at his own trial
 operation in Girard. He recited the
 details of the agreement between those
 higher up and the blind tigers and
 stated that he collected $25 a month from each blind tiger as license. under instructions from the mayor and the city council. He was convicted of re- ceiving bribes from blind tigers and has been sentenced to two years inn prisonment Another similar case is pending against him.
 Oaks, it is stated, desired to divulge everything in order that he might re- lieve his mind, take his medicine and afterwards begin life anew. Whether
 there Is any disposition on the part of the state 10 De len1ent With h1m IS a matter which has not been discussed. Judge A. H. Aston recessed the Rus sell county circuit court yesterday until sometime In September, when the Gi- rard cases will again be resumed. The | grand jury also was recessed until Sep | tember. Before the court recessed in | dictments were returned against Mayor | W. Earl Morgan and l. A. Weaver, city | clerk and treasurer of Girard, on l charges of receiving bribes from blind l tigers and perjury. The perjury cases, | it was stated, grow out of the testi- ! mony of Morgan and Weaver in the 1 trial of tho Oaks case, that there was | no agreement between the tigers and l the city administration. The testi- | mony of Oaks and one other witness
 was in conflict with the statements of Morgan and Weaver, causing the grand | jury to bring indictments for perjury. 1 Solicitor Hugo Black of Jefferson
 county and his assistant, w. s. Welch, who have been conducting the prose-
 cutions, reached Montgomery last night 1 in an automobile and left here this | morning for Birmingham in their car. | The juries in Russell county are responding to the needs of the county
 and the better element, which are in the majority, is lending ever effort to
 clean up the town and county" said l Mir. Turner.
