PHILIPPINE LEADER

New York. Nov. oS [Pt-Manuel Cuezon, president of the Philippine senate. today was on record with a proposal regarded as withdrawal of his former demand for complete, immediate and absolute independ- ence,' and an opening for a com- promise solution of the Philippine problem.
 Before the Economic club of New York at the Hotel Astor last night Mir.

He spoke favorably Of the senior and junior partner plan advanced last year by Henry Morgenthau, former am- bassador to Turkey.
 It was the first time the Philip pine leader has come out publicly for anything less than complete. im- mediate and absolute independence.

.C0L0RED QUINTET
 ID APPEAR HERE
Renaissance Five Of Harlem to
 Oppose New Britain Team

The Renaissance basketball team
 Of Harlem, New York, colored cham-
 pions ot the world, will meet the -All-New Britain quintet at the Stan- ley Arena on Church street Satur- day night in the last feature game before the Connecticut State Basket ball league opens.
 The visiting team appeared in this city on two occasions against the National Guards and Of all the bas- ketball teams that have played in this city, 1t was 'hy far the most fin- ished and best to appear here. Be- cause Of the fact that after the league play starts there will be little or no chance of the New Britain team meeting any outside auintets, Manager Lanpher seized this oppor- tunity of bringing the wonder team here this year.
 In the two games last season. the visitors swamped the National Guards with ease The local quintet which later won the state champion ship, was absolutely no match for the colored sharpshooters and the fans of this city who watched the team in action. were amazed at the cleverness of each and every one of the visitors.
 Since that time. the Renaissance Five took the measure of the Orig inal Celtics. considered the world champion basketball team, in a game in New York, demonstrating that the team rightfully claims the championship among colored bas- ketball teams.
 The same lineup will appear here this year as formed the team last season. Both of the forwards are in prime condition for the game and reports state that none of the play CTS has lost whit of his cleverness in floor work and shooting.
 Manager Lanpher will be out to beat the New York team If possible, and real court scrap is in pros- pect. The New Britain team will be nearly at full strength for the game although Rubenstein may not play because of his injured leg.
 A preliminary game between two girls teams will be played. This will mark the opening of the Girls | industrial league play. all other games having been exhibitions.

JUSTICE RULES
 SINCLAIR FATE
Oil King Won't Go Before
 Jury This Time

Washington. Nov. cS.-fP-
 tent to harass and influence the
 Teapot Dome oil conspiracy jury
 Harry F. Sinclair and William J. ! Burns were under citation Of the
 District of Columbia supreme court
 today to show cause why they should
 not be held in contempt.
 Sinclair, charged specially with in-
 tent to spy upon. bribe, intimidate and influence" the jury. with Burns ! ana four others, must appear De- 1 cember before Justice Frederick l.. Siddons, who presided over the oil trial, to answer the allegations. This most recent upheaval in the course Of events that followed hard upon the first disclosures that Burns agency detectives had been employ ed to keep the trial jurors under surveillance. came yesterday, bear ing out reports that District Attor- ney Peyton Gordon was considering surprising and important step.
 Acting Independently of the grand Jury investigation which he had pressed for three weeks. Gordon ap- peared before Justice Siddons with petition asking that the contempt proceedings be instituted against Sinclair, Burns, w. Sherman Burns sheldon Clark. Henry Mason Day. and Charles l.. Neitsch The citation was quickly forthcoming.
 W. sherman Burns is the active head Of the detective agency. Day and Clark are already under bond on charges Of conspiring 10 influ- ence the verdict Of the trial jury. Neitsch was named because of evi- dence before the grand iurv that he brought 10 this city from Baltimore a sum Of money to be used by the Burns operatives.
 In separate petition. Gordon asked that citation also be issued against Edward J. kidwell. much discussed juror No. II, who is charc- ed with freely expressing his views on. the case while it was still in court. The court concurred in this request also.
 Sinclair and his defendants will i not be brought before a iurv this i uhe. Instead. Justice Sddons will . be the sole judge of their guilt or innocence and from his findings there can be no appeal. The de- [ Fehdants. however. if adiudged , guilty. will have the privilege Of talk !. Ing their case to the District of Ca lumbia court Of appeals. but only | by virtue of points of law involved.

4 hard-fghtins Stanley Works ! team went tumbling into last place III the first game last night before the tafnir Bearing team which was behind during the greater part of the game. Within about five min utes Of the end with the score 16 to l4 in favor Of Fafnirs, Matuis and Beloin tossed in double coun- ters that settled the issue for their team. The final score was 20 10 l6.
 Although the Stanley quintet IS now in last place. it certainly did not look like last place team in the game last night The winner scored only one more field goal than the losers and if another member or the team kept up the pace Swanson displayed, the score might have been different.
 The Fatnir team did not get un- der way during the first halt and at half time 1t was on the short end or II to score. Red" Matulis. last years high school star went into the game and Fafnir showed an improvement immediately. As in the frst game of the season, LaHar and Havlick were the only scorers on the team ir the first half. but in the second part of the game, Beloin, Natulls and Gierochowski all con- trihuted. The two best shots Of the night were made by l.aHar two min utes after the game had started and Carlson in the last minute of play.
