F|LIP|NOS ADJOURN
LEGISLATIVE BODY
Session Featured by Number
of Franchises Granted for
Economic Development.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MANILA, November 9.-The Philip
pine Legislature adjourned sine die to-
day, ending a session featured by the
number of franchises granted for the
economic development of the islands.
Franchises approved included grants
to the Mackay Radio & Telegraph Co.
and the Dollar Steamship Line to cper-
ate tranSpacific wireless plants on the
islands and to the Philippine Telephone
81 Telegraph Co. to establish a long
distance system.
The legislative committees of both
houses were given authority to revise
the group of amendments recently pass
ed liberalizing the corporation laws of
the islands. The committees will re-
ceive suggestions along this line from
Gov. Gen. StimSon.
An extra session of the Senate prob
ably will be called Monday or Tuesday
to consider government appointments.
A special session of both houses is eX-
pected next February to deal with anti
trust legislation to supplement the COR
poration laws, to consider the develop
ment of Mindanao Island and take up
the appointment of resident commits
Sioners.
The legislative body adjourned with
out taking action on bill which would
have re-established the insular board of
control, which the late Gov. Gen.
Leonard Wood abolished and which
the United States Supreme Court de-
clared to be an Illegal body. The affairs
of the government-oWned corporations
therefore will be left solely in the hands
of Gov. Gen. StimSon.

WHlG AND CLIO HALLS
MERGED BY PRINCETON
Waning of Forensic Interest Given
as Reason for Consolidation
of Old Societies.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PRINCETON, N. j., November o.
whig and Clio Halls, the two Oldest
college literary socities in the United
States, were merged formally into one
organization yesterday after the ap-
proval of the Princeton student body
and alumni had been obtained. In
the future all forensic activity on the
Princeton campus will center around
Whig Hall, and Clio Hall will be loaned
to the administration as university
center.
Lack of interest in debating is the
chief reason for the diSuse into which
the two halls have fallen in recent
years.
Clio Hall was founded in 1765 and
Whig four years later. During their
long history they have included many
famous Princeton undergraduates in
their membership. Both James Madison
and Woodrow Wilson, Princeton's two
Presidents Of the country, were active
in the work Of Whig Hall while in coll
lege.

NEW YORK, November 81
Some day, in the belief of David
Sarnoff, vice president of the
Radio Corporation of America,
telegraphy in China will perhaps
be as easy as in Western nations.
Radio stations which the cor

tionalist government will be
equipped so facsimile devices can
be attached when facsimile

Smith is back in the firing line. his

telling him to carry come of the
states west of Pittsburgh that nor
mally go republican.
Makes No Claims
AS for Smith, he is making no
claims as yet in this direction, al
though it is a certainty that he will
make determined effort, by bid
ding for the farm vote to gain cleo
toral votes from the agricultural
zone.
Preliminary to mapping out this
phase of his campaign and shaping
up just what he will say on farm re-
lief on his acceptance speech. the
governor invited into conference to-
day George n. Peek, a farm leader

acceptance by the nominee of the
equalization fee OF the McNary-
Haugen bill which President Cool

No linking
Thus far the governor has given
no inkling as to how far he would
go in satisfying farm leaders like
Peek, most Of whom opposed Hoo

and some of whom are still on the
fence, undetermined where they
should throw their support.

of experts so that he could have
