BY the Associatad Press.

MANILA, December 9.-President
Coolidge's statements as to the Phlllp-
pine Islands, in his message to Con-
gress, are regarded by the Manila
Tribune as equivalent to the giving
of notice to the Filipino people" that
America will remain in the islands
permanently.
Further, the Tribune holds. the
presidential declarations constitute
definition of American colonial am
bition in the Far East" which, comes
with the suddenness Of dramatic
revelation"
The newspaper says:
"Pre.ident Coolidge's message con-
tains far reaching declarations re-
garding American policy in these
islands. The most transcendental IS
the affirmation the United States IN
tends maintaining a permanent MILL
tary protectorate over this country.
''This definition Of American colo"
NAL ambition in the Far East comes
with the suddenness of dramatic
revelation. 1t gives notice TO the
Filipino people it is the intention or
American leaders, or those controlling
the executive department OF the Fed'
eral Government, at least, that
America will remain here perma-
nently because this country is the
fitting outpost for American expan-
sion in the Orient.
"If President Coolidge's proposal
meets with Endorsement of the Amerl-
can Government and the American
people, complete independence for the
islands will be a chimera. We shall
be a pepole enjoying limited freedom
forever under the shadow of power.

BUTLER ARRESTED
IN WILLIAMS CASE
Joseph Fried implicated in
Jewel Theft at Sixteenth
Street Home.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 9.-Joseph
Fried, a butler with a 35-year police
record, was held by police today
charged with stealing jewelry from
socially prominent guests of Mrs. Nor
man Williams in her Washington
D. c., home. He was arrested after
being implicated by Joseph Peter
Davis, who is serving a 30-year sen
tence for the robbery.
The butler was convicted in 1920 o.
stealing $4,000 worth Of jewelry from
the Fifth avenue home of Mrs. Hamil-
ton Fish, where he was then employed.
Police said Fried made a regular
practice Of getting employment or
faxed references with wealthy persons
and then robbing them. Twenty such
references were found on him when
arrested.
Fried and other associates Of Davis,
alias Davidoff, have been sought by
local police since last Spring. In the
early evening Of last March Z, four
bandits entered the home Of Mrs.
Norman Williams, at 1927 Sixteenth
street, subdued and bound up the SER
wants and proceeded to rob guests of
some $4,000 in jewelry. Included in
the loot was a diamond platinum
ring taken from the finger Of Mrs.
Williams. She later posted a reward
of $1,000 for the apprehension and
conviction Of the bandits.
Davis-or Davidof-was the only
one captured. Police responding to a
telephone call from Mrs. Williams Sec
retary were entering the front door
while the bandits ran out the rear en-
trance. Davis swung around into an
alley, which ended blind near the rear
Of the Martinique Hotel. A colored
bell boy captured him. He was arrest.
ed and convicted, making a statement
duplicating Fried. Davis was SEN
fenced to 80 years for robbery.
At the time Davis was indicted, an
Indictment also was returned against
William Solomon, alias Dunn.
This indictment was for the man
arrested in New York, according to
the police, who was known not only
as Fried, Solomon and Dunn, but
also as Michael Goldstein.
Detective B. w. Thompson was in
structed to go to New York for Fried
this afternoon. He obtained a Police
Coutr warrant for the prisoner under
his proper name Of Fried and was to
leave on late afternoon train.
Meanwhile, Detective George Dar-
nall was assigned the task Of sum-
moning witnesses in the Williams
case to appear before the grand Jury
tomorrow in an endeavor to get an
indictment for the man arrested under
the name of Fried.

and to Col. Smith urging that the
governor do not appoint Smith and re-
questing Smith not to seek the ap.
pOintment.
Col. Smith, on the other hand. it is
known here, has been anxious to re-
ceive the appointment; to stage his
fight for a seat in the Senate at the
present session. The theory Of Col.
Smith and his friends is that he
would have better chance to be
seated at the present session than
in the new Congress.
In the first place, they say, If Col.
Smith waited until December, 1927, to
present himself in the Senate, when
he must do SO in accordance with his
election last month, the fight would
come on the eve of a national cam
paign for the election of a President
and Of one-third of the Senate mem
bership. This would not be so good,
they hold. In the second place, the
Republican majority is larger in the
present Congress than it will be in
the next. In the third place, If he
can be seated in this session, he
doubtless could be seated in the next
Congress.
Allen Moore, Republican national
LUZ ana
strong hacker of Smith, has been in
Washington sounding out Senators on
what should be done. The messages
he will carry back to his home State
are distinctly opposed to the appoint
ment of Smith.
If Gov. Small does not appoint
Smith to the Senate, then he may ap.
point Fred Lundin, was a guess haz-
arded here today by we'll informed
Republican from Illinois.
Not a little will depend upon

candidate to succeed himself. If he

Meantime, it was learned here to.
day, some Of the Republican Sena-
tors, who believe that both Smith
and Ware should be seated, despite the
charges made against them Of excess
sive expenditures in their primary
campaigns, are laying plans to attack
the right Of Democratic Senators from
the South to their seats, on the
fected In violation Of the provisions
Of the Constitution which give the
right Of suffrage to negroes as well
as to whites. They are digging into
reports Of excessive expenditures for
some Of these Senators during their
campaign for election also.
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, who
is championing the cause of Senator
elect Ware to his seat in the next Con-
gress, it is said, likely will introduce
a resolution demanding an investiga-
ton into the campaigns and elections
of these Southern Senators. Several
conferences have been held, in which
Senator Reed participated, looking to
a resolution which shall raise the
issue.
