Ignorance of the legal qualifica-
tions of a juror was displayed by
Jacob Cavanaugh, jury commission
er for Circuit Judge Clarence W.
Dearth's court in Muncie, before the
Indiana Senate today.
Cavanaugh was appointed by
Dearth, who is on trial on impeach-
ment charges.
Cavanaugh could not tell Senator
Denver C. Harlan, Richmond, the
qualifications the law declares a
juror must have.
"Or Good Citizen"
He declared that to be a juror a
person must be. "a real estate own
er, or a householder, or a freeholder
or a good citizen
The law provides a juror must be
a freeholder or a householder, and
that his name must be listed on the
tax duplicate.
Lieutenant Governor F.. Harold
Van Orman asked his first question
of a witness and wanted to know
the difference between a freeholder
and a householder"
Cavanaugh declared that he
thought a freeholder was the head
of the family and the householder
one who owned furniture.
Where did you get your ideas
about freeholder?" Senator Thomas
II. Branaman, Brownstown. asked,
and the witness gave an evasive an
swer asserting that wherever he got
the idea it was not from his friend

names from the tax duplicate" he
announced for the fifteenth time.
Seeking to take all the response
bility for alleged irregularities in

quizzed vigorously by Represent
ative DELPHI L. McKesson of the
House board of managers and a
group of Senators.

BLOCK MOVE
FOR SESSION
Jackson's Reported Illness
May Prevent Formal De-
mand on Budget.
GOVERNOR AT MADISON
lState Leaders Seek to 'CooP
Democrats.

Politicians, both Republican and
Democratic, aided by circumstances,
today were working strenuously to
curb the movement for u special ses-
sion of the Indiana Legislature to
straighten out the budget tangle and
investigate legislative and admin
istration discrepancies which have
come to light.
The situation:
]. Governor Jackson was reported
by Mrs. Jackson to be in bed with
n severe case of influenza at Clifty
Falls Inn, at the State park near
Madison, Ind. Mrs. Jackson, who
is with the Governor, said DR.. E. c.
Cook of Madison had ordered Jack
son to stay in bed four or five days.
This was expected to slow up for
NAL demand upon the Governor for
a special session.
Democrats "CooI Off"
2. Democratic leaders were trying
to "cool off, some of the most in
s.Stent Democratic Senators who
have demanded the special session
because Democrats do not want to
give the Republicans opportunity to
say that Democrats caused the ex-
pense to taxpayers that the session
would entail.
3. The utility lobby, which does
not care TO have any Legislature
prying too deeply into what hap
pened upon certain bills in both this
and past Legislatures is openly
fighting a special session.
Meanwhile matters were expected
to come to head late today when
the Senate, here for the Dearth
impeachment trial. holds its fourth
conference upon the bill Juggling"
situation.
There were at least two Senators
whom the political leaders had been
unable to muzzle. Both of them
were carrying dynamite" to hurl
into the conference this afternoon.

Moscow.-(FP)-Ru will / be a
wonderful country if it continues de-
Veloplng along present lines the next
% years, said Theodore Dresser, au-
thor of san American Tragedy and
other novels.

tlon as yet" - Dresser told the report
ers, because l have seen only Mos
COW and Moscow is not a fair sample
OF the country. | understand that ii
IS abnormally overcrowded and that
the lack of sufficient housing here is
not met with so acutely elsewhere
The people look as though they had
plenty to eat and they are warmly
clothed but many of them in shabby
attire.
The beginnings of socialist state
are already evident and in 25 or 80
years it should be a splendid affair.
But meanwhile l prefer to live in
America. wish l could live 25 years
longer (Dreiser is 56) and see what
has come out of this tremendous So
eial experiment"
The factories visited by Dresser in
the Moscow district are not equal Ia
the American models in technical
points, according to Dresser and some
OF them are housed in old structures
He noted indications everywhere, how.
ever, of energetic efforts to modern
lze industry from the primitive con-
dltlon In which the czar's regime haC

marshalled for the delectation of the
popular idol
Rodolfo Gaona, considered by Mexi-
cans the greatest bull fighter that ev-
er lived, returned to the ring after
two years retirement, especially to
hight a bull for Lindbergh. He per-
formed at "Charro," or lassoing and
riding exhibition, in the morning. In
the afternoon the flyer attended one
OF the regular Sunday afternoon bull
fights which always draw great
crowds, but which broke a record to-
day by attracting more than 10000
fans, packing the grandstands to ut
most capacity.

Sandwiched in between these two
performances was a review of more
than 10000 workmen, who paraded
IN the central section of the Mexican
capital to sho their affection and
admiration for the flying colonel. The
young aviator watched the process
siOns from a balcony of the presiden-
tial palace. With him were Ambas-

merce, and other high government Of
ficials.
The parade was organized by the
Regional Federation of Labor, Mexi-
co.'s foremost labor organization. The
parade was one of the largest labor
demonstrations ever seen in Mexico
and the only one ever given for any
/ foreigner.
In regard to his attendance at the
bull fight, Colonel Lindbergh said
that it was impossible for him, while
a national guest of Mexico, to de
cline an invitation to see one of the
country's favorite sports, even though
that invitation was not part of his
official program. The Mexicans

PEACEFUL METHODS INADEQUATE TO WIN :
FILIPINO FREEDOM MANLAPTT TELLSPUBLIC

Salinas, Calif.-'T desire to make
the assertion without fear of contra
dictlon that the winning of Philip
pine independence thru peaceful
means, as advocated by Quezon and
Osmena, is hopeless delusion."
These portentous words, pronounced
here last night by the left-wing Fill
pino leader, Pablo Manlapit, com
manded instant attention, because
they represent an entirely new Ian
guage IN the history of the Philippine
independence movement, which has
thus far-under the leadership of
Senate President Quezon-trimmed
its sails to the promises of Washing
ton politicians.
Manlapit's remarks, made at a BAN
quet given for him at Dumaguete
Hall by the Filipino Farmers Inc, are
regarded here as The opening gun in
the campaign which he has been
known to be planning for some time
to wrest the leadership of the Fill
pino nationalist movement from the
Quezon-Osmena clique and to set the
movement upon a revolutionary path.
The campaign will, it is believed,
4 nave the most important consequences
for the future of the Filipino move
ment, not only in its internal organi-
zatiOn but also in its relation to the
labor movement in the United States
and in its relation to the Chinese
revolution.
In market contract to Quezon's
careful pleas to the United States
/ government and to "the American
people," Manlapit declared frankly:
AS a leader of the Philippine
masses, and a convinced left-winger.
am making direct appeal to the
masses OF America as well as to 9TH
er oppressed nationalities for their
fraternal cooperation and support to
the fight of the Philippine masses for
immediate, complete and absolute in
dependence.
Manlapit, who was only recently re-
leased from a Hawaiian prison to
which he had bene sentenced as a
result of his leadership of Filipino and
japanese laborers in the great sugar
strike of 1924, is forced to carry on
his struggle for the rejuvenation of
the Philippine independence move
ment in the United States instead of
IN Ihe Phlllpplne Islands because the
terms of his parole prohibit him from
returning either to the Philippines OF
to Hawaii for the next several years
Manlapit's bold speech at Salinas
was to be the beginning of the coast
forecast tour arranged for him bv the
All-American Anti-Imperialist Lea
/ que. The tour has been interrupted
following the banquet at Salinas. IN
order to allow the left-wing leader ia
participate in the convention of the
Philippine Federation of America
where he is expected to confront both
Quezon and Osmena. According to an
official announcement mace after tele.
graphic communication between Man
laplt and the New York Headquarters
OF the All-America Anti-Imperialisi
League Omitted States section) the
tour will be resumed on January. 1.

masses; Ciriaco Ramat; Alexander
Alcantara; R. Vera, J. Avilla. P. Ca
tell and Boyd Bradon. Gabriel o.
Arellano was toastmaster.
Manlapit's address, in part, follows:
We are oppressed under the heel
OF Wall Street Imperialism, but Que
zln and Osmena do not seem to feel
1t. Their peaceful methods show
without doubt that their leadership is
not truly representing the sentiment
OF the Filipino people. Their trips to
America from time to time to confer
with the representatives of Wall
Street in the White House have been
havily taxing not only the insular
treasury of the Philippine government
but also the pockets of the Filipino
masses who have been exceedingly
liberal in their voluntary contribu-
tlons to the Independence Fund.
"The leadership of the left wing of
the Philippine Liberation movement
demands new methods, methods dia-
metrically opposed to to the tactics of
submission advocated by Quezon and
Osmena, whose brazen perfidy and
hypocrisy must be exposed. The Phil
1pplnes needs new orientation, a new
life and a new spirit in its struggle
against the most powerful and best
organized plunderbund of the world
American imperialism.
The salavtion of the world from
imperialism lies only in the union OF
the oppressed, the downtrodden anC
the submerged into one common fra.
ternity fighting against a common
enemy.
"In connection with my address
here tonight l wish to announce thai

cities of the United States l am act.

"It is my object to organize a sec

Manlapit also spoke about laboI
conditions in the Hawaiian Islands
giving details of the frame-up engi
neered against him by the Sugar
Trust and resulting in his Jail sent
ence.
