Is a Champion Loser.

A champion loser has been discov-
cred by Naturalization Examiner
Charles F. Tucker in charge of the
San Antonio office. Several months
ago a Mexican alien obtained a dec
laration of intention to become a citi-
zen of the United States. He lost
his declaration Of intention which
he was compelled to present before
he could file his petition for natural
ization. He then appeared before
the clerk of the federal court and Sc
cured from that official an affidavit
certifying that declaration of inten-

affidavit certifying that he had lost

CHECK STEEL PRODUCTION
Decreased Car Production Felt by
Steel Companies.

Detroit, April 1S.-Readjustment of
production schedules by motor COM
panies as a result of retarded spring
buying is being felt by makers of ac-
cessories and parts. This has had
decided effect on production in the
Mahoning Valley steel plants and
scrap steel dealers here declare that
large stock of scrap is accommodating
at local automobile factories. For
some weeks, many Of the large mills
have not taken any tonnage.
While the copper industry has been
somewhat affected, the slack buying
has been counter-balanced by the de-
mand for the red metal from public
utility corporations.
The first of the lake freighters is

and the Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1924.
Manila, April 1s.-Current activities
in Washington, especially in the bu-
reau of insular affairs, with regard
to the various proposed Philippine
bills may result in the resignation of
Governor General Wood. This is vir-
tually certain to be the case if the
outcome of the consideration of the
bills is interpreted as not in accord
ance with his views. The governor
has not expressed his views to the
newspapers, but it is known that he
is more wrought up over the present
situation than over any other in his
administration.
None of the bills or plans cabled
here is in line with his recommends
tons. Instead they are virtually in
accord with Manuel Quezon's wishes,
and it is known that Quezon will use
every trick at his command to jockey
the Coolidge administration into a po-
sition where there is apparent nom
support of Governor Wood. He knows
that General Wood is sensitive and
would probably resign under the cir
cumstances.
Wants 10 Defeat Wood.
From what can be gathered here
the American Congress does not seem
to realize that this Latin politician,
whose party is steadily losing
strength. has as his chief purpose the
defeat of General Wood. This he can
not achieve without American support,
consciously or unconsciously given in
Washington. Here it is not a party
matter but one of American prestige
involving public justice TO an upright
official harassed by intrigue which. if
successful. will discrcdit equally his
nation and himself.
Contrary to Mr.. Quezon's state
ments, General Wood is not tyranni-
cal and never once opposed Philippine
independence. What - has always
opposed is immediate independence or
other action jeopardizing the honor or
safety of American residents in the
Philippines.
Guards Peace Of Orient
As chief executive in the Philippines
he not only represents buttress
asains: the rising Bolshevism in this
territory. where Mr.. luezon has tried
with some success to inflame the sim
pie masses. but he bears the burden
of :he peace and security of the entire
Orient.
Under the Jones bill properly en-
forced as Congress in 1916 intended
that it should be enforced, it is pos
sible to guard the peace of the Orient
because the federal authority is ample
but under any of the proposed sub
stitutes as cabled here it would not be
possible in the hands of General
Woods successor because efficient fed
eral authority would be lacking and
the 5000 Americans here would be
like pariahs under their own flag.

NEFF FLAYS M'ADOO
AND UNDERWOOD IN /
ADDRESS AT TEMPLE
Renews Plea for Uain.
structed Democratic
Delegation.

Temple, Tex, April 19.-Speaking
to q crowd that filled all available
space in the opera house here tonight,
Governor Pat NJ. Neff renewed his OPP
position to McAdoo and Underwood
as Democratic presidential nominees,
with an insistent plea that the dele
cation from Texas to the national
convention be sent uninstructed. w.
s. Rowland of Temple, was master
of ceremonies and the governor was
introduced by District Judge J. H.
Jones of Bolton.
"In the campaign next fall" said
Governor Neff, '"Coolidge will be the
nominee, and the chief issue will be
cleaning out the White House. The
Democratic party will make the charge
that corruption and bribe-taking have
characterized the administration of
the Republicans. and if McAdoo is the
Democratic nominee the Republicans
query will be, How are you going to
clean out the White House with the
attorney for the chief corruptionist of
the United States!
~ have nothing to say against Nc
Adoo as a man or q lawyer. but I
think he put himself out of the run
ming as a leader of the Democratic
party by becoming the paid attorney
for interests that have been promin-
ent as corruptors of public officials.
Mr.. McAdoo vas the attorney for
the steel trust in the collection of a
100000 tax refund for which he re-
ceiyed fee of S150,O00."
Referring to Underwood, Governor
Neff said:
Senator Underwood is a good,
clean man. an honest man. but he is
not available as our leader for the
reason that he's wet He voted
against the adoption of the eighteenth
amendment and he also voted to keep
saloons open in the District of Colum-
bia; he is not available because he
voted against woman suffrage"
About thirty minutes of the COVER
nor's address was devoted to an i'm
passioned argument against sending an
instructed delegation from Texas to
the national convention. al don't
think the people Of Texas should tie
their hands by instructing a delega-
ton for any particular candidate. at
the instance of gum-shoeing politici-
ans" he said. Following his plea for
an uninstfucted delegation, Governor
Neff took a poll of the house, asking
those who agreed with him on this
subject to raise their hands. Prac-
tically every one in the house did SO.
He also asked for similar sign from
those who took the opposite view. but
not a hand was raised. Tonight the
governor was the dinner guest of some
of the most prominent citizens of Tenn
pie at the Harvey House. This was
an informal affair with no speech
Governor Neff spoke in the court
house at Cameron this afternoon.

Old Timer from Yukon

P. D.

Mr. Carroll has been in nearly all the camps on the Yukon and has wide acquaintance. He re- ports a small strike on Mud river, but of little magnitude. Fur is poor on the river this season, the catch being very light. MT. Carroll and his daughter will leave on the Northwes- tern. He will return in November.
 MT. Carroll reports a two-inch snow at Yukon points early this month. He stated at all points the potato vines were black with frost and that crops were practically ruin ed by the early frost. The Yukon district is practically depopulated, owing to the post at Gibbon being abandoned and the railway furnish ing coal to river points doing away with woodcutters. Many fish are run ming up the river this year, and a good supply will be put up.
