DOMESTIC TROUBLES
 CONFRONTING CH|NA|

SHANGHAI, April 5.-Leaders of the Chinese government are at present more immersed in domes- tic affairs than in attempting to find a solution for the recent hos tilities between herself and Japan.
 The Chinese are to hold an emer- gency conference of governmental officials soon for the discussion of various problems which have re- suited indirectly and directly as a result of the hostilities.
 One of the principle hurts" to the Chinese government is the threatened cutting off of their principle source of revenue with the announcement by the new pro- Japanese regime in Manchuria that it is their intention to stop pay ment of customs duties, and other revenues into the Chinese treas ury. Manchuria has long been one of China's best revenue sources.

 GUNNERs MINNEAPOLIS

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April B. Don't get excited, sister" said one machine gun bandit to the phone operator, while his five companions robbed the North American branch of the Northwestern National Bank of S175,OO0.
 Don't get excited yourself" re- piled Miss F. Weinard, watching the robbers perpetrate the most daring and most profitable bank holdup in the history of the twin cities.
 They took s5O,OOO in cash, s125,- 900 in bonds and some non-nego- tiable collateral, and escaped in an automobile in which a seventh companion was waiting.
 Three of the bank employees reached for alarm buttons which would have brought squads of po- licemen from all directions, but were slugged for their trouble be- fore they could sound the buzzers.
 The robbery took place SO rap idly, that witness could not de- scribe the invaders, even though they were unmasked, and could not tell the police in which direc- tion they fled

INDEPENDENCE FOR THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS |S
 APPROVED BY B|G VOTE

WASHINGTON, D. C., April s. Members of the lower branch of Congress overwhelmingly approved of a bill providing for independ- ence of the Philippine Islands from the United States within a period of eight years. The vote was 306 for and AT against. The vote was taken after a 4O-minute debate on the measure in the House Monday.
 Before the vote was taken, Sec retary of State Henry L. Stimson sent a letter to Hiram Bingham, saying that to give the Philippine Islands their independence would result in nothing but economic chaos and political anarchy for the islands which would soon there after be followed by the domina- tion of some foreign power, possi- ply Japan or China.
 Supporters of the bill argued that the Philippines wanted their independence and that it would help out some of the United States leading industries, such as sugar. The sugar industry would be aided because competing Philippine su- gar, now admitted free. would be subject to a tariff when the islands receive their independence.
