GANDH| SETSFORTH
DEMANDS OF india
Manifesto Regarded as Clear
Definition of Views of
Congress.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 5-The de-
mands OF the Indian National Congress.
headed by complete independence for
India, were set forth in a parting mani
testo from Mahatma Gandhi to the
British people issued tonight through
the Commonwealth of India League.
Independence. the Mahatma declared
in his manifesto, does not exclude
partnership at will on absolutely equal
terms with Britain and to be deter
mined at the instance of either party.
The document was accepted as Of
high Importance in political circles, as
it was looked upon as an unusually pre-
else and clear exposition of the views
of the congress.
Wants Independent Control.
Complete independence, the mani
testo said, necessarily includes full
control IN the hands of the RESPONSE
Die government Of the defense forces
ard external affairs and finance"
The manifesto added, however. that
such safeguards as may be proved to
be necessary in the interests of India
would be accepted by the congress"
The congress is quite willing that
the 1ndian) nation should take over
all the legitimate obligations, but insists
upon examination by an impartial
tribunal of all obligations the nation
may be called upon to bear" the docu-
ment continued.
May Not Need Army.
ut is commended there were In the
past many British obligations which
were debited to India, but which India
should not have been called upon to
bear.
1T is also commended that India
should not be called upon to take over
the whole Of the army or the civil
services, or be held responsible for pen
sionlng of those who may not be
wanted. Moreover, an army that
may be required by an alien power for
its support need not be required bv a
national government"

THREE SEATS OPEN
IND. c. COMMITTEE
Senate Appointments Ex
peCted to Include Capper
Chairman.

At least two, and possibly three, new
members are likely to be appointed to
the Senate District Committee early
this week, but neither the Republican
or Democratic leaders were ready yes
terday to announce new committee as
signments.
Senator Arthur Capper, Republican
OF Kansas who has been a close stu
dent of District affairs for more than
decade, will continue as chairman of
the committee, and most, if not all, of
the present members are expected to
continue.
Two of the Senators who were on the
committee in the last session, however,
ended their terms in the Senate last
March They were Senators Gould,
Republican, of Maine, and Blease
Democrat, OF South Carolina.
Ratio In Last Congress.
The ratio of the committee at the
outset of the last Congress was eight
Republicans and five Democrats. Dur
ing the last session, however, one Re-
publican place was left vacant, and the
retirement of Senator Gould left six
Republicans. The departure of Sena-
tor Blease left four Democrats.
The first question to be determined
this week is what the ratio should be
for this Congress. If it should be
changed to seven Republicans and six
| Democrats it would mean the appoint
ment Of one new Republican member
and two new Democrats. The ratio
however, had not been definitely settled
yesterday.
Many Committee Changes.
The fact that II new members are
entering the Senate in this Congress
will lead to number of changes in the
membership of many of the other SEN
ate committees, and all of these changes
and new assignments are expected to be
announced early this week.
Following his return to the city re-
Gently, Chairman Capper of the District
Committee reviewed the list of local
questions which he believes will come
up for further consideration this Win
ter. Most Of then are measures to
which the committee devoted attention
last year, but which were not acted on.

GANDHI REACHES PARIS,
Characterizes Round Table in London
as Complete Failure,

PARIS, December 5 (F).-wearing a
new shawl and loin cloth, Mahatma
Gandhl. on his way home in India
after the Round Table Conference in
London, arrived here this afternoon and
was charged by large crowd at the
railway station.
With the Mahatma was Miss Madeline
Slaoe, his disciple, whose weaving ability
was responsible for his new clothing.
A group of Indian students met Mr..
Gandhi and he informed them he was
taxing home the hope that all India "a
creedS and classes might be united.
CEaracterizing the Round Table Con-
ference as a complete failure. Mr..
Gandhi declared he had nonetheless
become acquainted with British officials

broke down in the mountains and their
passengers were transferred to other
vehicles. The stalled trucks were left
at various roadside garages to be re-
paired and were expected to be with
the party again tomorrow morning.
The travellers are we'll equipped with
clothing but are suffering from an
acute shortage Of tobacco. A reporter
indiscreetly took package of cigarettes
from his pocket in the presence of sew
eral Of the group and in a few minutes
all of thu cigarettes had been "bummed'
and somebody had pocketed his box OF
matches.
The trucks were parked outside the
rink for the night. They were exam
ined by the police, but no weapons of
any character were found. 1t was said,
however, that the demonstrators had
been told to arm themselves with rocks
in certain localities.
Although Mayor Thomas w. Koon
has announced he will not tolerate any
disorder he feels the marcher5 should
be accorded all possible consideration.
Regardless of what other places
may do" he said. there is no reason
why these people should not be housed
in Cumberland on their way to Wash
ington"
Food is Donated.
The food for their dinner and break
fast was donated by local merchants
who had been solicited by Sadie Venn,
an advance agent from New York.
The party plans to leave tomorrow
morning at o'clock for their trip to
Washington. once in the Capital they
expect to march to the Capitol.
The proposed early start tomorrow,
however, may be handicapped by the
fact that most of the trucks were
virtually out. of gas when they pulled
into Cumberland. Mayor KOon,
although willing to provide food and
lodging, can see no reason why the
town should also furnish free gasoline
This means that the demonstrators, if
they are to be on hand for the big
demonstrations at the Capitol, must
either buy gas or walk.

Building up Of the American Navy to

Frederick Libby, secretary of the Ma

clusion they manifested their satis- faction with yells and cheers.
 Eye and Knee Discolored
 In spite of all the exacting rules one of McClure's eyes was badly discolcred and one of his knees had been wrenchAd until it was black and blue and bore abrasions that would indicate it had been chewed. Of course, 1t hadn't been.
 All in all, this wrestling racket seems to be parlor trick that the Legion might well encourage by in- cluding it in future smoker Last nights match was no hippo drome. Each grappler worked hard over the other for a fall.
 The mattresses, used instead of g regulation mat, did not cover the entire floor of the ring. When the athletes got off the mattresses and on the bare board floor, they were separated and were compelled to return upon the mattresses to take holds again. This fault can be avoided in the future by the use of proper mat.
 Too Careful of Left
 In the Nickinovich- -Rodenberg boxing bout, the former boy showed left of some consequence when ever he could persuade himself to use it. In the second round, he was jared by a blow to the jaw and went to the floor. He was in too much of hurry to get up. He regained his feet, groggy at the count. The bell ended the round before Rodenberg could cross over another right. In the rest period, Nickinovich revived and journeyed the rest of the route on even terms with his classmate.
 Nabalias and De Graccio would have appeared to better advantage if they had been matched for three instead of six rounds. Over a short distance they might have shown some speed to reach a near goal. Over the longer road, they 1oitered in the beginning to reserve strength for the end.
 Leg and Arm Weary
 Tn the last half both were leg and arm weary They wrestled and to the disgust of many spectators.

at 155 pounds. The talent inclined to Mack and Mack bettors had diff ficulty in finding any Murphy mon- ey yesterday. But if Murphy's friends were diffident, their atti- tude in no wise affected him.
 At the sound of the gong last night, he started to work confi- dently and capably. He shot blows from every angle. At all times, he kept himself ready to de- liver a sleep punch. His target was Mack's jaw, which is reputed to be of the texture of glass. It would have to be made of cast iron to have withstood the smash it finally received last evening.
 Never Looked Better
 Murphy never looked better. He showed great improvement over previous appearances.
 Mack displayed skill and game ness. He carries a punch preg- nant with danger. He unloosened it several times, but it either fell short or failed to land squarely. Until he was struck and went down for the final count, there was to choose between him and his opponent.
 The wrestling batch was for three rounds of six minutes each. Hulk weighed 153 pounds and Mcclure, billed as former middleweight champion of the Uitned States Navy, 150. Stranglc holds, double listed rabbit punches, twisting of ,oes and gouging of eyes were barred, Referee Harry Sperling an- lounced. Nobody would have been aware of the fact if he hadn't said 70. Anyway, there were enough nuscle-wrenching and bone-crush- ng practices left unmolested by he rules to make of the pastime severe test of strength and cour- lge for participants and an excit- ng spectacle for spectators.

MURPHY WINS BY k.O.;MAT MEN ELICIT CHEERS.
Legion Stages Best Smoker Juneau Has Had in
 Many Moons

Miles Murphy's victory over Fred die Mack by a knockout in the third round and wrestling bout without fall, between Gene Hulk and Sailor Mcclure made the Am erican Legion's Smoker in A. B. Hall last night the best that has been given in this city in many moons
 The ground tumbling of Pete Ol- son, 6l years old, proved an added attraction of interest. The preliminary four-round event between Billie Nickinovich and Will lie Rodenberg presented two will ing high school boys with some knowledge of the manly art. They went to a draw.
 Filipinos Not So Hot
 The special affair between Louis Nabalias and Kid De Graccio, Fili- pinos, was not so hot. At times it was difficult to understand wheth- CT they were trying to put on boxing bout or a wrestling match The decision was a draw.
 Almost capacity crowd witness ed the events. Spectators left the hall satisfied. They got their mon ey's worth.
 The main attraction, between Mu,rhy and Mack, was scheduled as a siX-round bout for the mid dleweight championship of Alaska. After the third round had progress ed little more than half it's al- lotted time, Murphy crashed right to the jaw, and the subsequent pro ceedings interested Mack no more. Murphy, unmarked, then leaped lightly from the ring, middleweight title holder of the Northland.
 Both in Fine Condition
