Manila, P. l., October 4.--(By Mail)
Shipwrecked and marooned for 20
years on one of the Caroline islands
is the experience of an American,
James Howard, sole survivor of the
American bark, Horatio, which went
on the shoals of Kusai Island in 1901.
The news of Howards condition was
brought here this week by DR.. will
liam H, Hobbs of the University OF
Michigan, who has been engaged in
seismic research work in the Caro-
line group.
DR.. Hobbs said Howard was cared
for by the natives and finally be-
came agent at Panope for a German
trading concern, which place he held
until the Japanese took over the is
lands, under the mandate from the
League of Nations.
A year and a half ago, a stroke OF
paralysis made Howard almost help
less and unable to work. Since that
time he has been taken care of by
Chief Nampei of Roukiti who has
given him food, clothing and medi-
cine.

PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE
From Americas Pledge to the Philip
pines" by Manuel l.. Quezon, II

From Americas Pledge to the Philip
pines," by Manuel l.. Quezon, i'll
Asia Magazine.
There are a few people who frank
ly advocate the reversal Of the poll
cies enunciated in the Jones act.
They say that since a Congress Is
empowered to amend or repeal any
law enacted by its predecessor. the
promise of Philippine independence
contained in the act can properly be
rejected. Legally, they are right.
Every Congress repeats and amends
statutes that have been outgrown,
but when a procurement by one
Congress affects the interests of an
other people, who have accepted 1T as
a pledge of faith, no subsequent Con-
gress can repudiate it without placing
the United States in the category
with nations that disregard their
treaty compacts. The effect of suen
step upon the Filipinos would be to
ALLEVIATE their good will and good
faith, which, after all, are the best
assets the United States has in the
far east. From whatever point of
view the possession of the Philip
pines by the United States may be
considered, 1t is evident that the 10y
atty and good will of the people of
the islands is matter OF paramount
Importance. Commercially the Philip
pines will be profitable to the United
States only so long as the people of
the Islands are willing to cooperate
with American enterprises. and con-
sumo American products. Strategical-
ly, the islands win be source of
strength only SO long as the loyalty
of their Inhabitants can be depended
upon. If the United States should
hold the Philippines against the will
of the population, they would surely
prove liability instead of an asset.
On the other hand, an independent
Philippine government would be
grateful to America, it would con-
tinue in it's existing economic rela-
tionship with the United States to the
mutual benefit of both parties con-
cerned: It would grant to the United
States the coaling stations required
for maintaining strategic position
in the Pacific In short. the Filipinos
could be relied upon to express their
friendship in tangible form in case
the United States should need their
helm in the future.

WILLIAMS GIVEN
ALFE SENTENCE
IN CA. PRISON
Georgia Farmer Convicted With
Accommodation to Mercy. De.
. fendant Returned to Atlanta
Jail to Await Hearing On
Motion Late This Month.

Covington, Ca, April 9.-John S.
Williams, Jasper county farmer, was
taken to Atlanta and placed in Jail
today to await action Apriu 80 on
his motion for a new trial which vas
made here today Immediately after
he was convicted and sentenced to
lifetime imprisonment on a charge
Of murder. He expressed confidence
he would finally be cleared Of the
charge.
The trial was the first one arising
from the accusation that Williams
caused the killing of II negro farm
hands after department Of justice
agents had started to investigate al
legged peonage charges on his farm
February 1s last. Three of the ne
groes, including Lindsey Peterson,
whom he was specifically charged
with killing at the trial ending to-
day, were alleged to have been
brought into Newton county and
drowned.
The other eight negroes were de-
clared by Manning, negro farm boss
and self-confessed accomplice, to
have been killed in Jasper county
and inquiry by the grand jury with
view to indicting Williams and
three of his sons is to open there
Monday. '-.... .
Williams appeared to take his
conviction calmly, but when his
wife and daughters broke into sobs
their griefs affected. him and he
struggled to hide his emotions as he
sought to comfort them. He was al
lowed to remain in the court room
with them for ten or Is minutes be-
fore being taken to Atlanta.
Date for trial of Williams on the
other indictments here has not been
set nor has the court announced
when Manning will be tried, al
though it was indicated the negro
would face jury before the regular
July term. Counsel for Williams
hold that he can not be tried on the
Indictment charging murder for
Willie Preston whose body was
found chained to that of Peterson,
but the state contends the indict-
ment resulting from the death Of
Preston is separate one and that
he can be tried on it as well as on
third indictment charging murder
of another negro, Harry Price. The
defense contended the drowning of
Peterson and Preston was one act.

Wonders never cease, they say, at
least they do not in ,Lonwdesville.
That usually quiet town was stirred
this morning from the town hall to
The circumference, and little be-
sides, when it was learned that
white child had been left by unknown
parties at the home of Lewis Hutchi-
son, negro man residing in that
section.
Hutchison reported the matter this
morning to the Lowndesville authori-
ties. He states that about IL o'clock
last night he heard what he took for
walking, either of horse or of per-
sons, in his yard, or near his house.
He got up and went out to see what
was happening, but could see no one.
He returned to his house, and was
startled to hear a baby crying. In
vestigating he found baby in box
on his front porch.
The child was taken in and given
such attention as the negro and men,
bers of his family could give, being
taken thus unawares. Lewis was not
particular about leaving home, after
the find, until daylight, but as soon
as it was day, he took the child to
Lowndesv:lle and reported it to the
white people there.
DR.. kirkpatrick was called in and
made an examination. He found that
the infant is pure white, male child,
fully developed and fine specimen.
After consultation it was decided to
send it to the hospital in Abbeville,
where Miss Reep will give it all pos
sible attention. Accordingly Messrs
R. T. Broadwell and ]. G. Mann were
appo; o;nted as escorts for the young
man, and they made the trip here in
record time. They reported the matter
to the Deputy Sheriff, T. L. Cam,
and then took the child to the hospi-
tai, it having been decided by the
good people of Lowndesville that the
three churches there would become
responsible for it's care and keep it
until some legal disposition could be
made of it's custody.
Mr.. Mann with whom a Press and
Banner reporter talked, when asked if
there was apy evidence to connect
anyone with the parentage of the
child sad there was none. 1t was be-
lieved by the people at Lowndesvillc,
he said, that the child had come from
she Georgia side of the river. 1t was
wrapped in an old sack, he said,
which had the name of Mr.. Craft,
a merchant at Hartwell, Ga, printed
on it, indicating that the parties who
brought the child to the home of
Hutch:son had been customers at Mr..
Crafts store. Other than the sack
The. child had no clothing on it except
that it was wrapped in an old cloak
of some kind, an exact description of
which Mr.. Mann did not undertake.
The Lowndesville people have set an
Investigation on foot to determine if
possible who left the child at Hutchi-
sons house.
The Press and Banner called Miss
Reep at the hospital and she gave the
Glowing informal on about the baby
She said that the baby is a splendid
