IN Philip INES
WARNING ISSUED
American c. of C. Advises
Against Further Invest
ments Until the Political
Status Is Settled.
(By The Associated Press.)

Manila, Oct. IA (by the Associ-
ated Press. )-The American Cham
Der of Commerce today officially
approved q eablegram sent by its
officers to John s. Hord, the
chambers representative at Wash
ington, advising against further
investment of American capital in
the Philippines until the perma-
nent political status of the islands
is definitely settled. The cable
gram sent to Hord follows:
Give publicity to the fact that
further American investment in
the Philippines is unaGvisable un-
til the political status of the is
lands is fixed as territory of the
United States
= This message brought cabIed
protest from the Swift, Parnee
company of New York, owners of
the Manila street railway. depre-
eating authorization of propagan-
da in the United States against
American investment of capital in
the Philippines"
The reply of the chamber Of
commerce to this cablegram was
dispatched today to its Washing
ton representative as follows:
Political conditions in the Phil
ippines are individual and govern
mental antagonism to American in
vestments after being made justify
propaganda of non-investment of
American capital until the perma-
nent political status OF a territo-
rial government is obtained. Busi-
ness protection is possible only in
the large business centers, Manila,
Cebu, Iloilo, Zamboanga. The
provinces no longer are usab1e for
investment or business
operating. owing to lack of protec-
tion from political antagonism to
American interests generated dur
ing the Harrison administration,
which cause territorial government
would eradicate. The American
community is now fighting for
fixed territorial status and asks
support of a non-investment policy
until the change can be effected"

admitted In S0UTHARD CASE
Court Decision Lets Down the Bars for the In
PRODUCTION of Virtually as Much Evidence in
Each AS Was Adduced With Respect to the
Demise of Edward F. Meyer.

the presentation of this mass OF
evidence, the defense will require
at least two or three days for the
introduction of testimony.
Lawyers for the prosecution sig

plete history of the final illness of
Harlan c. Lewis who was married
to the defendant at Billings, Mont,
March 10, 1919, and who died at
Billings on July 6 of tho same
year. DR.. James Wernham of the
Montana city, occupied the wit
ness stand for several hours and
step by step detailed the final
hours of Lewis from the time he
was called to take charge of the
case until his death less than a
week later.
He described symptoms and
treatment and concluded his testi-
mony with the statement that the
patients symptoms were consistent
with poisoning. Severe cross ex-
animation failed to shake his
story.
