GROUP WILL URGE
ISLAND AUTONOMY
Philippine Mission Will Be
Sent to United States
Early in November.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
MANILA, October 15-Based on the
understanding that the question OF
Philippine independence is to be con-
sidered at the next session of Congress,
new independence Commission will be
sent to the United States early in No
vember.
The Nationalist, or majority party,
at caucus today decided upon such a
mission. Later the Philippine indie
pendence Commission, composed OF
members of both the Nationalist and
Democratic parties, approved the Gre
alton of a subcommittee to organize an
independence campaign.
The new mission will be headed by
Manuel Quezon. president of the in
Sular Senate. An indefinite resolution,
introduced in the House last night, pro-
posed that the mission be composed OF
three Senators and three Representa-
tives, but the Democrats contended the
party should include others besides
politicians and suggested that the ag-
ricultural, industrial and educational
elements of the country be represented.
Quezon, who is in China, is expected to
return here shortly.
The revival of the independence
campaign resulted largely from the
amendment to the tariff bill of Senator
King, Democrat, Utah, which would
have given the Philippines their indie
pendence after a Philippine constitu-
tional convention had set up a form of
government for the islands. Filipino
leaders are convinced by the closeness
of the vote by which the amendment
was defeated and by the fact that some
Senators voted against the amendment
because it might interfere with the
tariff measure and not because they
were opposed to independence, that a
strong independence sentiment now
prevails in Congress and the time is OPP
perfume to press the issue. The Senate
last night adopted a resolution thank
ing Senator King for introducing his
measure asking for Philippine indie
Dendence

WORLD APPEALS
COURT IS SEEN
International Law Institute
VisuaIizes Tribunal to Rule
on Decisions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BRIAR CLIFF MANOR, N. Y, Oc-
tober 15.-The eventuality of world
court of appeals was visualized by the
Institute of International Law at its
thirty-sixth annual conference here
yesterday.
Possibility of establishing such
tribunal to take cognizance of appeals
against decisions of international arbi-
trail courts where conflicts arise over
rules applicable to international law
will be studied by special committee
of the institute during the coming year.
General satisfaction over the growing
tendency Of all nations to conf1de their
disputes to an impartial tribunal was
expressed by the institute, whose mem
bers include many of the leading jurists
of the world.
The need Of determining the power
and jurisdiction of these arbitral tri-
bunals was placed in first Importance
by the institute, however. and the ques-
ton of fixing the extent and the modes
of the obligatory competence of inter
national jurisdiction will be foremost

IMPROVED SCHOOL
STREETS URGED
Takoma Park Citizens Seek
Betterment for Paul
Junior School.

Improvement of thoroughfares lead
ing from Takoma Park to the new Paul
Junior High School will be urged by the
ITakoma Park Citizens Association as
the result of action taken last night at
a meeting held in the Takoma Park
branch of the Public Library.
It was pointed out that the new high
school will be ready for occupancy
shortly after the opening of the new
year and that at present streets ap-
preaching the school are not improved.
RIO provide proper facilities, the i'm
provement of Eighth and Peabody
streets will be requested at the earliest
possible date.
Disappointment was expressed at the
failure of the District to pave Whittier
street from Fourth street to Plney Branch
road, Aspen street from Blair road to
Piney Branch road and Fifth street
from Aspen to Van Buren, street. In a
report to the association, Burt w. An
drews, chairman of the street commit
tee, said appropriations had been made
for these thoroughfareS, some as far
back as three years, but that paving
had been delayed due to sewer con-
Struction.
The abatement of the smoke nuisance
by trains of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad will be taken up with the Dis
trict Health Department.
S. E. BlaSsingham and Lieut.. Col
John A. McAlister, U. S. A, retired,
were elected members of the association.
The association will take up with
officials of the Washington Public
Library the matter Of returning books
from the main library building through
branches.
Mrs. Alenca Lamond advocated the
extension OF the present bus line from
Petworth north to Takoma Park.
Amendment to the constitution will
provide for addition of three members
to the executive committee, in addition
to the officers and committee chairmen
John Walker presided, with Chester
G. Waters as secretary.

FILIPINO FREEDOM
FORECAST BY KING
Utah Senator Holds to Assur-
ance Issue Will Be Con-
sidered Later.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Promised Senate disposition of the
Iong-recurrent issue of Philippine indie
pendence during the regular session Is
regarded by Senator King, Democrat,
of Utah. as tantamount to vote for
their autonomy.
AS an issue complete in itself-which
it has not been since 19l6-an indie
pendence bill is to be considered at the
December session as the result OF its
Intellectual injection into the tariff de-
bate twice at this special session. Eff
forts were made to obtain action on the
problem in 1924.
At the special session two proposals
which would have led to independence
for the islands were defeated on votes
regarded as not representative OF opln-
ion on the issue, but rather as intended
to rid the tariff controversy Of this rider.
Quezon to Head Group.
Acting today, the Nationalist, or ma
iority party of the Philippines, and the
Philippine Independence Commission
approved the creation of new indie
pendence commission, to be sent here
early in November. 1t is to be headed
by Manuel Quezon, president of the in
sular Senate.
This follows the action taken by
Chairman Bingham, Connecticut, of the
Territories committee, in promising to
hold hearings on bill by Senator King,
with view to reporting it to the regu-
la session, when the Utah Senator in
troduced the subject in the tariff de-
bate.
Senator King. who has championeo
the cause of the Filipino through IL
successive legislative sessions, said he
had every assurance" the bill would
come up for discussion early in the De-
cember session.
Believes Passage Sure.
whats more" he added, 81 think
wen pass an independence bill through
the Senate"
The last action taken was in 1916,
when the Senate passed bill author
izing the President to grant the islands
independence within four years. Then,
bearing President Wilson's indorse-
ment, it went to the House, where 1t
was defeated. In its stead bill de-
claring the intention of the United
States to grant independence ultimate
~ was made law.
Representative Garner Of Texas,
House Democratic leader, concurs in
the opinion of Senator King. Demo-
cratic support generally is thought to
be assured by party policy.
While Senator Bingham agreed with
them that it is time for action on the
question, he ventured no forecast as to
the outcome.
st stand pledged to get report on
Philippine independence out of the
committee early in the regular session,
he said. 81 believe something definite
should be done about the Philippines
They need capital out there and have
small chance of getting it until their
political destiny is decided one way OF
another"

BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, october
15.-That was mighty fine thing
of President and Mrs. Hoover going
clear to Philadelphia to see that
base ball game. Base ball Is still
and always will be our national
game. 1t requires more brains,
more practice and more real skill
than all others put together. Its the
only game when you see it played
you know whether the ones playing
it are being paid or not.
There was 20 million base ball
fans that listened to the world series
that knew every play made, and why,
and how it was made. But still
don't know whether Harvard is
town or mouth wash, whether
Yale. is a yell or a lock, and think
all Notre Danes are churches. So,
viva base ball. Its for us unfor-
tunate ones who have no alumni.
