FILIPNOS CAUTIONED AGAINST DISORDERLY
 POLITICAL ACTIVITIES

MANILA, Mar 30.-(AP).-In structions to municipal officials to pass ordinances and regulations cal culated to forestall disorders likely to arise between rival political par ties during the present campaign, have been sent to provincial govern ors by the executive bureau. At the national elections, which will be held June 9 next, there will be chosen a new house of representatives, consist ing of 93 members, onehalf of the senate, consisting of A members, provincial governors and other of- ficials. The members of the house are chosen for three years, while the senators are elected for six years.
 Definite legal provisions regulat- ing political meetings are contain ed in the instructions. Among other things, municipal councils are urged to prohibit joint meetings of rival political parties or groups, and it is suggested that meetings of rival parties should be at least six hours apart.
 The rivalry between the National ista- Consolidate party, which is a merger of the old Nacionalista and the Collectista parties, and the Dem ocrata party has already become very keen, and officials fear that as cleo tion day approaches disorders may develop from this tension.
 Senators Manuel L. QueZon and Sergio Osmena are not candidates at the coming election, having been chosen for a six year term at the election of 1922. They are, how ever, already engaged in active cam- paiging for their party. the Nacion- alista Consolidate. the party which now is in control of both houses of the legislature The Democrata party leaders claim that they will make heavy inroads on the majority party, and possibly wrest control from it at the coming election.
 The issues between the parties are mostly of local nature as all par ties have declared for the complete and immediate independence of the Philippine Islands.

Fighting Leader of |T enants Freed After
 13 Days In Tornbs

By International Labor News Service.
 New York, Feb. 21.-Capt. Harry Allen Ely, leader of the Tenants Asso- citations, has been liberated after spend ing 13 days in the Tombs A sentence |of three years imprisonment, the ex- treme penalty, still hangs over him, for he has been convicted of criminaliy libeling a lower court judge who had made some adverse decisions in ten- ants cases. In granting a certificate of reasonable doubt, Supreme Cour. Justice Wagner found that the prose cutors had confused criminal with se- ditious libel and had in effect told the jury that in criticizing court, Captain Ely had been trying to overthrow the government
 This accusation is not without its humor, for the accused is a veteran of three wars, 71 years old and served in bomb school at Morgan, N. J., during the World War although he was too old to be accepted for active service.
 The case may be taken to the Ap- pellate Division. Meanwhile the old fight of the sanctity of the courts from criticism is being taken to, the people.
