frost that has struck this region
in nine years, according to Of

Continued cold weather was

Exactly what damage the frost
will do depends largely upon the

warns up gradually, so that the
frozen fruit can thaw out slowly,
the crop loss will be less severe
than otherwise, they declared.

pinoS for Independence.

Washington, Jan. 20-The re-
port OF the Wood Forbes mission
which advised against granting
the Philippines their independence
was criticised in the house today
by 1ssuro Gabaldon, one of the
resident commissioners from the
islands, who declared his people
could neither agree to nor ac-
cept" the recommendations Of
the Investigators.
Contending that the report had
only served to increase the insist

can find no other conclusion than
that the object of the investi-
gators was to find excuses for
delaying independence" In decid
ing the fitness Of the islands for
independence. he declared that
the mission had set arbitrary
qualifications that no nation can
now or ever will be able to meet.
1.-THE report is a clover but un-
worthy attempt to change the is
sue from that of stable govern
ment to a multitude Of other con-
ditions not required by congress-" :"
he asserted.
AS two additional developments
in the Pacific situation which
make granting of independence at
this time "opportune, Mr.. Ga
ba'don mentioned the Horsepower
Pacific treaty and the fact that
the nacionalista party, which, he
declared, was in the overwhelm-
ing majority In the Philippines
had recently adopted q platform
in favor of independence without
protection,
81 pray you not to do us the
injustice of misunderstanding our
motive in petitioning you for COM
plete independence" he declared.
1--WE do not challenge the benev-
olence of your intentions but are
merely yearning for the freedom
which is inherent to every self
respecting people"
Declaring that the people of
the Philippines were not knock
ing at the door Of congress with
any bitterness in their hearts" :"
he said they realized the great
service rendered by the United
States in assisting us to prepare
ourselves for independence"
"We almost unanimously prefer
our independence. however" he
added, ito being under even so an

SAYS FOOTBALL
is MENACE TO
COLLEGE SPORT
(By The Associated Prcss.)

Now York, Jan. 20.-Profes-
sional football Is n menace to
the college sport as it robs the
game of many of its greatest
character building qualities,
Fielding II. Yost, for twenty
years football coach at the
University OF Michigan. said
tonight in an address.
The professional sport, he
said, tends to make the college
player unsatisfied to play the
game for its own sake; robs
the game of the eXhilarating
inspiration of achievement,
merely for achievements sake,
and destroys the ideals of gem
erous service, loyalty, sacrifice
and whole hearted devotion to
n cause, which mark the coll
lege player.
"The professional sport is
blamed in part, at least, for
the critical attitude so many
students and alumni and
others are assuming toward
players who are representing
them on college athletic
fields" he said.
Coach Yost deplored the
tendency to stage intersec-
tional football games and ex-
tend the gridiron season. He
declared the first consideration
of men in college should be the
obtaining OF an education.
Athletics, he said, are merely
one of the means toward that
end, and should not be per-
mitted to eclipse the other
school activities.

These charges. he added, did

SAYS HIS DEATH WOULD
BE A GREAT CALAMITY


Rome, Jan. 20 (by the Assocla-
ted Press) IF it pleases the Lord
that I shall work again in His
church, am ready; If He says it
is enough, let His will be done"
These We're the final words of
Pope Benedict when the cardinals
withdrew from his chamber this
evening. The Associated Press
was told that he retained con-
sciousness.
Prof. Ettore Marchiafava, one of
the physicians in attendance on
the pope this evening, still was
somewhat hopeful as to the out
come. "There is a thread of hope"
he said. He added that the pom
tiff was resisting his ailment with
great fortitude. The patient OBJ
tained a little rest in the early
evening but he was no better nor
yet any worse. the doctor said.
All the cardinals Of the 'curia re-
NAMED at the vatican throughout
the afternoon, and this evening
many of them were present in the
ante chamber to the sick room.
Condition Is Desperate.
All the cardinals concurred In
the opinion that there still was a
ray of hope but that the condition
Of the pope was most desperate.
Although his breathing continued
difficult, the fact that he had been
able to throw off some of the lung
congestion frightened the spirits of
the pontifical court.
The apartment occupied by the
pontiff is the same as that used by
Pope Plus X. The windows open
on the spacious st. Peters square
overlooking the whole of Rome
The bedroom of the pope is the last
but one from the corner. The cor
ner room, now small chapel, was
the death chamber of Plus X.
Among the cardinals of the curia
who remained in the vatican
throughout the afternoon and dur
ing the. evening was Vincent Van
nutelli, dean of the sacred college.
lie said that at time like this the
death of the holy father would be
q great calamity.
Friar Is Sanguine.
When the great specialist, DR..
Marchifava, proclaimed that there
still was a thread of hope for the
recovery of the pope, an humble
friar of the do Good Brethren"
who has been attending the pope
throughout his illness, was even
more sanguine, saying:
During my life work among the
sick and poor I have seen so many
recover who looked worse than
does the pontiff. To me he does
not show the appearance of being
a desperate case"
When DR.. Marchifava left the
bed chamber this evening he
wished the pope good night. The
pope smiled and replied:
"I accept this as happy aug
ury."
The pontiff's voice. however, was
hoarse, and 1t was with difficulty
that he spoke.
Catarrh Still Extensive.
Professor Battistini said that the
catarrh was still extensive and that
several centers of infection had de-
veloped in the lungs. The physi-
clan tried to make the patient
cough but failed to induce expee-
toration.
At the time Professor Battistini
examined the pontiff his tempera-
ture continued around 101. to
