ASKS JUDGE TO
CANCEL ORDERS
FOR CLEMENCY
Three Under Suspended
Sentences Arrested on
Other Charges.

Opportunities given some people
are disregarded, according to Dep
uty Prosecutor John L. Niblack.
Saturday he will ask Criminal
Judge James A. Collins to revoke
suspended and withheld judgments
against three persons, who, Niplack
said, couldn't resist the urge to vio-
late criminal laws.
George Worley, "a, Of ia s. Glad
stone Ave-, last June was given a
suspended sentence Of one to ten
years for issuing fraudulent checks.
Arrested as Car Thief
Evidence showed he posed as Po-
lice Chief Claude Worley's cousin,
Niblack said.
Last week he was arrested for
vehicle taking. He is alleged to have
stolen an automobile owned by G. A.

possession Of these tools is a felony
if a person has been convicted on
any other charge.
High School Boy Involved
A desire to obtain and pawn from
bones will spell the same fate for
Albert Linn, 10, of 842 Prospect ST.,
a local high school pupil.
He is alleged to have stolen a
trombone from Derwin Sweet, 1850
w. Thirty Fourth ST., at the school.
Judge Collins withheld judgment in
vehicle taking charge during good
behavior. The court instructed him
to finish school and make man
out Of himself" at the time.
The new charges will be used as
evidence in the revocation hearings
and later will be submitted to the
grand jury.

JAPAN is IN TURMOIL
OVER MODERN DANCE
Police Attempts to Curb New Pas
time Fall Flat.

BIZ NEA Serpice
TOKYO, Jan. 5.-The modern
dance is a great source of anxiety
to Japanese police. i
Dancing according to the western
fashion has become nearly as
troublesome as radicaliSm. The most
recent attempt to curb this bar
barrie pastime" has been instituted
in Kobe, one of Japan's commercial
centerS.
Police headquarters of that city
has ordered all dancing to cease at
midnight. Also, the dance hall pro-
prietor must not employ more than
five professional partners.
Regulations of all sorts have been
issued to curb the modern dance in
Japan, but authorities continue their
hunt for a solution Of this great
problem"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Charles
Evans Hughes, as counsel for the
Swift and Armour meat packing in
terests, has asked the United States
Supreme Court to demolish the ia
nous packers consent decree of
1928" This plea is opposed by As
sistant United States Attorney Cen

If the court holds that the de-

volve an antitrust law test of the
validity of activities of the great

than a decade.
Hughes asserted the decree is
without the slightest foundation

whale?" Then at last they see land
and the lights of the city.
They feel so near to home then that
they get all dressed up in hats and coats
and swarm to the decks and watch the
towers and roofs and wall of New York
go by in a vast panorama as the boat
swims up the river. In 10 minutes
they will land.
Yet the older and more cynical in
travel never get all dressed up, even
when tug comes putting with fussy
air of hen mothering an eagle. Oh, no.

At last the gang goes down the plank

If you declared precisely $9998 So

while a woman who stood ID behind
you in the prescribed line gets through
first by telling the sentimental customs
man she is the mother of four chill

So all the tourists stand chained to
their haggage-and then, just when
they are so close to home, the thing
they have been desiring so completely
and uninterruptedly, they forget all
about the joys of home and in one COM
pleX moment of remembrance they re-
call their going forth to the golden

Total Eclipse of Sun on May 9, 1929,
Will Be Visible in Philippines

eclipse is only about minutes, and
such eclipses are infrequent, even
speaking astronomically.
There will be places outside the
Philippines. in Sumatra and Siam, for
example, where the eclipse may also
be observed. and while Father Selga
is little familiar with the accommoda-
tionS that may be found there he
thinks some of the foreign parties may
choose those points. He believes, how
ever, that all American parties should
choose the Philippines. to which end he
has prepared the bulletin of informa-
ton on living accommodations, sites,
etc, appended to his scientific data.
Under no circumstances should
astronomers be discouraged from try
ing the eclipse of May 8. 1929, in the
Philippines" he says. He has traced
back the weather on May 8 at four
convenient observation points during
period of 25 years. The chances
are very great that May 9 next year
will be dry and clear The date is
prior to the change of the monsoon,
and. while at that season of the year
there are nearly always some clouds
floating about during the day, at the
afternoon hour of the eclipse the sky

Porto Rican Storms Effect Expected
10 Be Reflected i'm u. s. Trade Tndex

Economic results Of the Porto Rican
hurricane will be reflected in an i'm
portant degree in the foreign trade fig
ures of the United States in the near
future, for in 1927 we bought from Porto
Rico 500 902 ,024 worth of merchandise.
and in turn sold to Porto Rico $685.
318.791 worth, or total for the year of
S183 ,220.815
1t does not follow of course. that the
foreign trade of the United States will
be diminished by that amount, for the
United States will buy in other coun-
tries what we would have bought in
Porto Rico But on the selling side
the loss will be large because the pur-
chasing power of Porto Rico will be
lessened by the disaster. Credit no
doubt will be extended and buying
stimulated thereby. yet certain, de-
crease is inevitable.
Our trade with Porto Rico ranks third
in the list OF trade with our possessions
or non-contiguous Territories. Hawaii
and the Philippines are slightly ahead
of Porto Rico in business dealings with
the United States, Hawaii's total for
1927 having been $188, ,901 1892. and the
Philippines $186,504.5 Alaska comes
fourth with $86,927, ,958, while the Vir-
gin Islands and the Samoan and Guam
trade trailed far behind.
The larger items of our sales to Porto
Rico included: Animals and animal
products, edible. S9,838,074; animals and
animal products, inedible, $3.50 ,298;
vegetable food products and beverages,
S19,175,212; vegetable products, inedi-

the bell. The bells are fixed on wood
en- or steel frame, only the clappers
moving.
Perclvsl Price, the carillonneur, in
playing the instrument, strikes the keys
with his closed fist. Considerable force
is required, especially for the heavier
bells. On the lighter bells two notes
can be struck with one hand, span
of one or two notes being made between
the thumb and four fingers. Price en-
ploys his feet to play the heavier bells
by means of pedals coupled with the
keys.

above the ground level The hour is
struck upon the largest bell in the

of the carlton sound the chimes. The
weight of the clapper which sounds the

A total eclipse of the sun will occur
at Manila. May 9, 1929, and the Ham,
burg Germany Observatory already
has arranged to have an observing
party in the Philippines on that date.
It is expected in Manila that other
PARTIES will come from the United States

Full information was forwarded by
Father Miguel Selga, S. j., director OF
the Philippine Weather Bureau and

aners meeting in Leyden. Two factors
warrant the expense of sending parties,
Father Selga says. First, the great
probability of clear weather, and sec

tion points.
The plane of total eclipse extends
across the middle islands Of the Philip
pines, the Visayan group, through the
tenth and two-thirds of the eleventh
degrees of north latitude. On the west
ern coast the duration of the total
eclipse over this area will be minutes
545 seconds; this in the vicinity OF
Dumaran Island, Palawan. On the
eastern coast at good vantage points
the duration will range between min
utes 42.3 seconds to 3 minutes 28.7 sec
