INDEPENDENCE FOR FILIPINOS
OPPOSED
Congressman G. ii. Randall of CalifOr-
mia Says Ii Would De Crime.

Honolulu, Aug. 17.-Independence
for the Philippine Islands before the
next twenty-five years was opposed as
"crime of the first magnitude" by
Representatives c. H Randall, of Call
ifornia a member of the congressional
party touring the Orient, who came
here aboard the army transport Great
Northern on his way to the United
States.
"You will find practically every mem
Der of the congressional party of the
same mind" he said. After seeing
the Philippine Islands 1t was our al
most unanimous verdict that they are
not ready for independence.
1T would be a crime of the first
magnitude to cast these people adrift
The better educated Filipinos who are
not politicians are practically unan-
imous in their opposition to independ-
ence.
"The development of the Philippine
Islands Is stagnated because of the
lack of capital, due to uncertainty of
the status of the future government
II am unalterably opposed to sur
rendering the Philippine Islands to 9TH
er than American jurisdiction for these
reasons and another reason fraught
with profound omen to the United
States and the entire Orient. Thought
full men are in semi-terror at the pros
pect of Japanese domination of Siberia,
China. Korea and the Philippine Is
lands, II the United States releases
them later"
Randall said he had cabled Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer, urging
that prohibition be extended to the
Philippines.

SUPREME COURT LIBERATES CON-
DEEMED MAN.
(Associated Negro Press).


Spartanburg, S. c., Aug. 5.-The
state supreme court in an order re-
ceived here sets aside the verdict
of guilty in the case of VIII Kelly,
an aged Negro of Cowpens. this coun-
ty, convicted of attempted assault
upon a little white girl and sentenced
to ten years Imprisonment and orders
the Negro released. The supreme
court says. there was no evidence
upon which to base conviction.
In it's order the court says:
when a man is charged with evil
thought ripened into action. his fell
low trers cannot rest Judgment on
their knowledge of original sin in
herent in the prisoner, else none of
us would escape judgment The evil
thought, which Is the original intent,
only becomes unlawful when he who
harbors It proceeds to put 1t into
action. The single act of the de-
PENDENT. testified to by the female
child, does not tend to prove that
when he put his hand upon her that
he had criminal intent To so hold
would hurt the law more than it
would hurt the defendant. The judg-
ment is reversed with direction to
enter a verdict of not guilty"
