INDIA TOO CROWDED.
And One Out cr Four Children Born
 There Dies in Infancy.

Washington. Nov. 17.-Compared with the United States, India has a smaller area and a much larger popu- lation. The area of India, including the semi-independent Indian states, is less than two-thirds of the area of the United States; but the popula- tion is three times as large.
 It may reasonably be inferred that India is already overfull of human beings. Yet social custom and re- ligious creed still impose upon Indian parents the duty of begetting chil- dren, regardless of the means avail able for their maintenance, with the result that children are poured into the world even more rapidly than in Europe and in the United States Roughly. one in four of the infants thus brought into being dies before it has ceased to be an infant Others die in early youth or early manhood The average duration of life in India is far below the average of western Europe or America.
 Beyond this is the final fact that the whole standard of life is lowered because of resources of the country do not suffice for the adequate main- tenance of the millions who are striv- ing to live.

tween the little brown skinned cham pion and the hard hitting New York CT.
 The contest was disappointing one from the outset. Villa apparently was afraid of Goldstein's right hand punch for the jaw. and Goldstein was in great fear of every punch in Vil- las repertoire. Goldstein was chiefly responsible for the unsatisfactory contest as he absolutely refused 10 lead and even when his smaller op- ponent started aggressively Goldstein usually clinched and brought the ac- tion to standstill.
 So slow was this performance of the two men that the spectators ire quently hissed them. The only mark of battle that was borne by either man at the finish was bloody nose presented to Goldstein.

DENIES HE KNEW OF
 SECRET AGREEMENTS
Pierce Oil Corp. Official Testifes in Civil Suit

Richmond, Va., Nov. 17.--Exami- nation of the court record of the tes- ttmony Wednesday of c. w. Randall, vice-president of the Pierce Oil corp, in suit of preferred stockholders seeking to annul the recent election of directors of the company, revealed today that he did not testify to the existence of a secret agreement be- tween H. l.. Doherty of New York and H. c. Pierce, president of the Pierce company, as reported in these dispatches Wednesday. MT. Randall further, it was shown, did not testify, as stated in the dispatches, that it was the purpose of any such agreement to defraud the stockholders and obtain control of the company.
 Mir. Randall testified, and reiterat- ed in a statement last night, that he l.; { knowledge CT any such agree rlent.
 The court record shows that Mir. Randal, on cross examination con tnc:ed -.y SnUuci Tntcrmyer coun- sel for the preferred stockholders. testified that he knew the general tVIHlb VI tlll StETtcIHtiII stIltfcu lutO between Mir Doherty and the corpor- ation. This agreement, dated Oc- tober ?, 1922, a porported copy of which was produced in court, was produced by Mir. Pierce. MT. Randall testified, at conference at which five of the eight members of the board of directors were present. He testified that Mr. Doherty was elected a director of the corporation and participated in the conference of di- rectors on that date.
 Testifying further. MT. Randall said GAat although he was not obliged to Ao 70, Mir. Dohertyalready had loaned the corporation more than 3O0,000, and on October 3 last gave the cor poration the benefit of his credit to the limit of 1,ooo.O0o. Mir. Randall, the record showed, did not testify as reported that under secret agree ment between MT. Pierce and Mir. Do- herty the latter to put up $500, ,0o0 and to have the privilege of convert

ing into preferred stock whatever debts he chose to permit. Further, he did not claim, as reported, that it was the purpose of any such plan to give MT. Doherty opportunity under the conversion privilege of exercising virtually an option of one-half voting power and thus practically controlling the corporation.
 Mir. Randall's denial of any knowl- edge of secret agreement between MT. Doherty and MT. Pierce was brought out by close questioning of the witness by MT. Untermyer re- garding secret agreement" for an alleged stock jobbing scheme.

MUSSOLINI VICTOR
 AT FIRST MEETING
Doth Chamber and Deputies Are Alp. parcntly Ready to Do Premier's
 Bidding.

Rome. Nov. IT (By Associated Press) s)-Premier Mussolini's first ap- pearance before the Italian chamber proved great personal success. He spoke to the deputies as he had ad- dressed the leaders of his fascisti legions, and his orders were received with similar apparent obedience.
 He announced his foreign and in- ternal policies and warned his adver- saries that the faseisti government had come to stay. He did not ask but demanded, vote of confidence in his government, declaring that if the deputies refused their mandates would be withdrawn.
 His bitterest enemies, who had looked forward to his encounter with the experienced politicians on their own battlefield. were disappointed and his friends are saying that he is the greatest leader Italy has seen since Crispi and that the fascist rule will endure.
 Congratulations were showered up- on the youthful leader from all sides after he had concluded his exposition of the governments program all the parliamentary groups joined in the applause with the exception of the extremists who abstained from dis playing any emotion. In the Hobbies afterward the expression was heard many times repeated that in Musso- lini Italy had found the leader for which she has been looking for many years.
 One of the deputies exclaimed to another:
 "He reminded me of Louis XIV l'etat. c'est moi" (The state, I am the state.)
 At today's meeting of the chamber, the minister of the treasury, Prof. Tangorra, will explain the details of the governments plan for bureau cratic and fiscal reforms and other deputies of tn e47 remaining regis tered orators may speak.
