The light bulb case presented an in

Japan seems to be the chief competi-

so to speak, for the cement mills re-
ported that japanese ships were en-
ployed to haul the cement from British
mills. Japans interests were watched
over by the commercial attache at the
embassy here, who attended the hear
ings.
Japan even has broken into the pig
iron field, according to testimony at the
hearings. It was stated under cath
that Japanese interests are at this time
offering 100000 tons of iron in pigs in
this market. This Is the first time
Nippon has been an exporter of pig iron;
she always has been an importer here

Institute is unable to figure out what
has happened.
Commissioner Eble's remark about
the deprecated currencies was predicat-

scribed as ridiculously low quotations
on Japanese goods, but the conditions
also were applicable to shipments from
Czechoslovakia, Italy, Belgium, the
Netherlands and England. England be-

standard. In all of the testimony thus
far every witness has taken time out to
state the foreign quotations in their
home currencies and then to translate
1t into dollars on the basis Of current
exchange.

Wes true, would avail nothing.

No more do robes Of royal state
Our admiration claim.
Nor uniforms that indicate
A military fame.
The formal shirt front no one heeds
That graces banquet halls.
At present what the country needs
Is more stout over alls.
The masquerade of halloween
Will bring passing smile
Its merriment deserts the scene
In just little while.
From his contention, none recedes.
Each orator recalls
That what the country truly needs

PHILIPPINE BILL
FACES DEFEAT

Sponsors of the Hawes- Cutting
bill for Philippine independence
won a victory in the Senate today
by finally defeating the Brolssard
amendment which would grant
complete freedom to the islands
in eight years.
Advocates of a longer "home
rule" period first succeeded in Sc,
curing reconsideration of the
Broussard amendment. The vote
on the motion of Senator Bulow
CD of South Dakota to recon
slider was AZ to "a.
Pressing their advantage, the
same group defeated the eight-year
plan by a vote of IS to 81.
Meanwhile defeat of all Philip
pine independence legislation at
this session was viewed as a pos
sibility because of the tangled
parliamentary situation and the
pressure of other important bills.
Sponsors of the deleted Halves
Cutting measure refused to con-
cede even a chance of defeat, but
a movement to return the bill to
committee was gaining support.
Should the Senate recommit the
bill, its prospect for passage at
this session would be impaired
seriously.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. Is
ONSO.-The trial of Mrs. Bea-
trice Ferguson Snipes, expectant
mother, in my judgment did not,
in so far as the legal phases gov
ern, make out a case of murder.
Guilty of manslaughter, not
murder, should, in my opinion,
have been the jury'S verdict.
For this is an unusual and in.
teresting case. 1t is the first time
a white woman has been SEN
fenced to death in the history of
South Carolina. Doubly so, be-
cause the condemned woman is on
tie verge of childbirth.
The effect on the child of birth
under such circumstances, it
seems to me, should appeal most
strongly that her life be spared
and that she should not be re-
quired to undergo childbirth in
the shadow Of the electric chair.

A placer strike, which gives prom ise of being of considerable magni- tude, is reported from the upper Ga kona river district, and poke of 10 or 2 ounces of dust and nuggets some of which pan dollar or better, give confirmation to the report, says the Valdez Miner.
 Views of the strike was brought to Valdez by Frank H. Foster and Charles H. {Moose) Johnson, on their return recently from Fairbanks over the Richardson Highwaf. They said that at the Gakona roadhouse they had been shown poke of dust, left there by the discoverer, who had been there the day before and had re turned to the find. The discovery s said to have been made on Alder creek, at the extreme head of Gakona river, by a man named French, who was confident he had struck a bo- nanza.
 French sent word of the strike to James Lyons, of the Paxson road house, and he and another man left the next day with pack horses for the new discovery.
 "Alder creek, is said, was visited in the early days by prospectors, and some gold was found there, but little prospecting was done. French is said to have been prospecting in the dis trict for seveal months, and the gold brought out is the result of his pan nings. The gold is. said to be very bright, remarkably like that from Slate creek diggings, from which the new strike is not far distant
