Correspondence Associated Press) Manila, Feb. 1S.-Jaime c. De Ve- yra, at one time acting secretary of commerce and police under the admin lstration of Governor General Harri- son and later executive secretary of the Philippines and Theodore Yango, millionaire Filipino merchant and
 philanthropist, have been named by the Philippine congress as resident commissioners in the United States to succeed Manuel Quezon who has be- come president of the insuar senate and Manuel Sarnshaw, who has re- signed his post.
 De Veyra was named to represent the political aspirations of the Fili- pino people while Yango will repre- sent the business interests-a division of labor that has been followed in the appointment of Philippine resident commissioners since the office was first created.
 De Veyra is a former newspaper man. He has been a member of the insular assembly and with the whole sale changes in the Philippine Com- mission that followed the election of President Wilson, in 1912, he became hlSiHOCl O1 Ciiao Oouy, W1GIloue POI U folio Upon the resignat on of General Clinton L. Riggs, of Baltimore, as sec- retary of commerce and police. De Veyra became acting head of this de- partment-a post he filled till he was namely executive secretary. With the reorganization of the executive de- partments of the Philippine govern ment, this office was merged with an- other and he now becomes a member of the congress of the United States for three years beginning March 4.
 The elections were practically unanimous in the joint session of con- gress held for this purpose.
 Yangco is one of the few Filipino merchant princes of the Islands. He has extensive business interests which include varied lines from fleet of in- terisland steamships to a department store. He is the foremost Filipino philanthropist and has given of his time and money to movements for the bettering of his people. He has recently returned from a long trip tin the United States, undertaken prim- arily in the interests of the Young Mems Christian association. He was one of the organizers and is still a chief mover in the local Filipino Y. M. c. A.
