Former Premier Poincare mustered a
ma jority from groups more or less
hostile to one another. He rallied them
on the plea that he was saving the

can repeat his success Is hoped, with
misgivings, in we'll informed quarters.
Consequently, there now is talk OF an

The duty of finding man capable OF
forming a stable government devolves
on President Doumergue. II there Is q
lack of ma jority for all combinations,
he can dissolve the chamber with the
approval of the Senate.
M. Tardieu, who has shown much
courage and energy in the present
crisis. is thought to have enough TO
recommend this course II the chamber
refuses to support his government.
AS lie Temps remarks this evening,
the people are getting a little tired Of
the confusion in the chamber.

FILIPINO FREEDOM
DECEMBER ISSUE
King Promises New Agitation
of Problem Before U. S.
Legislature.
BY A. EDWARD STUFF.
Associated Press star Writer

Philippine independence, long in proc
ess Of digestion by the United States
Congress, promises to become one of
the earliest legislative morsels of the
regular session in December.
Promise of new agitation of the is
sue has been made by Senator william
H. King, Democrat. of Utah, and Sena-
tor Hiram Binhgam. Republican chair
man Of the territories committee.
Independence will mean the culmina-
ton of centuries of native military and
civic struggle against foreign rule in the
islands. The Filipinos did not lay
down arms in the campaign to prove
themselves capable of self government
unthsafter the American occupation In
1898.
Viewed rs Peak Point.
Pedro Guevara and Camilo Osias.
Resident Commissioners, view the pro-
jected legislative battle as a peak point
in Philippine history.
Believing that independence would
mean the start of a long climb toward
national solidarity, they are confident
the islanders would give an unique ex-
ample of united purpose as they well
coined their national Gethsemane."
In Manila. the Philippine Indepen-
dence Commission. which is composed
Of all members Of the insular legisla-
ture, has taken two steps in the cam
paign.
For one, a commission composed of
prominent Philippine political leaders
has been named to come to Washing
ton and present the Philippine cause.
For the second, a resolution provides
for a committee to formulate a pro-
gram for independence and present 1t
to Congress Both resolutions must
be ratified by the legislature.
Culture Strengthened.
The Resident Commissioners see COM
pensation for early trials in the de-
velopment of q genuine Philippine cul-
ture. Influenced and strengthened by
long contact with Spain and the United
States.
Improved commercial conditions
revealed by 1000 per cent increase
in United States trade with the Orient,
is advanced as a guaranty that the
Filipino. favored by recent local au-
tonomy. would cherish his commercial
solvency under a free government.

BURGLARS ROB HOME
OF $1,700 IN JEWELRY
Mrs. David Gregory Reports Thieves
Entered While Family Was
Away on Shopping Tour.

Mrs David Gregory reported to the
police last night that burglars gained
entrance through an unfastened win
dow on the rear porch of her home. at
1885 D street southeast, and escaped
with $1,700 In jewelry.
Mrs. Gregory said that, in company
with her husband, she went on a shop
ping tour at Z O'Clock. and on return
ing to her house later found rear
window raised and the top drawer of
dressing table opened, with most Of her
jewelry missing. She reported that the
thieves. in their apparent haste, had
overlooked a layalliere valued at 5000.
The robbers evidently knew where
the jewelry was located, for Mrs. Greg
DRY reported. that nothing else in the
house was touched. The woman said
that last nights absence Of two hours
from her home was the first time in
two weeks that she had been away.
The jewelry that the woman said she
missed included two diamond rings an
Egyptian amethyst ring. her wedding
ring and q wrist watch. c. H. Tram
nell of the Detective Bureau is dnvesti-
eating the case.

of operation, and its effect will be to
improve the demand for high-grade
securities.
The paying off of debts, illustrated by
the amazing decrease in street loans,
afforded evidence of the extent to which
margin holdings had been reduced,
mostly by forced or distress liquidation
during the recent break.
Indication that the reduction OF in
debtedness incurred in stock marker
operations is not merely superficial
Evidence of q prospective easy credit
condition is given by the action Of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York IN
cutting the rediscount rate from 6 to
5 per cent and subsequent action by
London, Berlin, Amsterdam and Buda-
pest in cutting their respective reols-
count rates.
Meanwhile the news services of the
country, in, response to the request OF
business and financial leaders, nave
published figures giving out proof OF
general prosperity. One OF the main
factors responsible for the restoration
of public confidence In stocks was the
action of q number of leading corpo-
rations IN declaring extra cash d1vi-
bends out of the years increase, and
in most cases record-breaklng net
earnings.
Still another development was the
announcement by the Government OF
1922 ,000.0 900 increase in American
export trade for the first nine months.
9 per cent more than In the previous
record period of 1927.
An announcement of general inn
portance, particularly to the oil in
dustry, was that of the American Pc
troIeum Institute that the overpro-
duction problem of the Nation had
been solved by California operators
agreeing to curb output by 80 per cent,
thus bringing production and con-
sumption for the entire country into
line.
World is Still Dazed.
But as the new week of market oper-
atoms opens the world is yet some
what dazed at the recuperative invest
ment and buying power of a country
where $20, 900, 100000 to $4,000, 600 600
in open market values were shorn
from securities in the space of two
trading days, without serious failure
and no dislocation of business, ana the
restoration, again within tWo-day
/ trading period, of 80 to 80 per cent OF
the losses.
Some spectators were eliminated
and unsound and badly managed
brokerage establishments embarrassed,
but a new army of stock buyers with
greater resources of cash than ever
before sprouted in their place.
During this period of drastic read
justment the volume Of stock trading
created new records for all time. In
the market period of eight days, from
Wednesday, october %, to Thursday,
October 81, inclusive, 100000 shares
were dealt in on the New York Stock
Exchange. compared with less than
| 30 600, 600 in the same period last year,
when stocks were then considered alb
normally active. Stock exchanges in
all cities of the country report similar
| increases.
