Roosevelt Action
To Legalize Beer
Decided Suddenly
Personal Counsel When
He Was Governor Tells
How He Made Up Mind.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 29.-President
Roosevelt's decision to ask Congress for
beer legislation was made on the spur
of the moment, former Supreme Court
Justice Samuel 1. Rosenman disclosed
yesterday.
Rosenman, who was Mr.. Roosevelts
personal counsel when he was Governor,
told how the President made up his
mind to ask for beer without prelimi-
nary parleys with political advisers in
support of RoSenman'S contention that
Roosevelt "is man Of action"
Speaking at meeting of the Silk
and Rayon Credit Association Of the
Advertising Club, Rosenman described
the scene in the White House the night
of Sunday, March r. The President
had just finished speaking to the
country on the banking situation, and
his guests, of whom Rosenman was one,
were thinking about retiring.
Most people would have thought It
a good time to 60 to bed," Rosenman
said. Three or four of us were sitting
with Mr.. Roosevelt in the oval room,
when he said. I think it's about time
the country did something about beer
He pushed a button for a secretary
and had him bring a copy of the Demo-
cratic platform. He studied 1t for a
while, ana about midnight he dictated
the message to Congress on beer. And
then he went to bed with the subject
of his mind"
The message was transmitted to
Congress next day.

JAPAN'S OPEN DOOR
SEEN AS EXIT ONLY
Missionary Believes, However,
Christian Institutions Will Be
Allowed to Remain.
BY the Associated Press.

ATLANTA, March 29-The open
door policy" in Manchuria probably
will become an open door for foreign
commercial interests to get out, but in
dications are that the japanese in
raders will allow Christian missions to
continue, says Dr. E. Stanley Jones
American missionary.
Japan knows it would be a disaster
of the first water to try to conquer all
China" he said "All others who have
tried it have been gobbled up and ab-
sorbed by the Chinese. But Japan does
want Manchuria"
DR.. Jones has no doubt the Jananese
are motivated by wholly imperialistic
designs in the Manchurian invasion
but he thinks they have seized upon
white elephant in choosing the country
to domicile their overflow population.
Il do not believe that would solve
the population problem" he said.
Thirty million Chinese are already
there in possession Of the land and the
Chinese as farmers
Therefore. the Chinese will remain
in permanent possession of the soil.
What Japan will do will be to organize
the country industrially and make the
Chinese drawers of water and hewers
OF wood
II think Christian missions will con-
tinue as before in Manchuria," he con-
tinued The open door policy in Man.
churia probably will become an open
door for foreign commercial interests to
get out, but from all signs, the Japan
ese will allow Christian missions to
continue. The fact is, they have shown
consideration toward missions"

port of the measure.
Mrs. Ashfield Stow Of California,

vored changing it so that the child OF
an American mother who had married
an alien would be an American citizen.

American. She married a native of
Hungary. When the war started.
mother was widowed and We were In
Switzerland.
Mother applied to the American con-
sulate for a passport. She was told
that she could have one, but that I
was not an American citizen and had
no claim to an American passport.
Mother either had to come back to
the United States on an American pass
port and leave me, a minor, behind,
or stay with me- She chose to do the
latter. and we stayed in Switzerland

ing dual nationality

American mother and a French father

This bill" he said. would tend to

Justice Proctor SEES Evasion of
Legal Responsibility in
Present Practices.

Money held by taxicab associations

after successful damage suit by a
person injured by a member taxicab
Justice James M. Proctor ruled today
In District Supreme Court.
This opinion. following a recent rul-
ing by the Court of Appeals that the
association as well as the individual
driver can be sued, is expected to &c
far toward compelling cab drivers tc
protect themselves by taking out liza
bility insurance.
Driver Alone Held Liable.
In the past it had been believed that
only the individual driver could be sued
by the person injured, and that even
if this suit was successful. the funds
in the custody of the association could
not be reached Under these circum.
stances only the assets of the driver
could be taken in satisfaction of a
judgment, and they frequently we're in
sufficient.
Justice Proctors opinion was handed
down in the case of Clara w. Chapline
against the Independent Taxi Owners
Association, Inc The principal poiit
involved in the case was whether the
plaintiff could attach funds which the
association claimed it held as trustee
for the drivers who belonged to the
organization
This fund is the absolute property
of the corporation and subject to at
tachment on the judgment" Justice
Proctor he'd. 1.-THE fund deposited III

The corporate association is the actual
owner and not, as contended, a trustee
of the fund for the benefit of persons
comprising the membership Of the as
sociation."
Regarded as Reserve Fund.
Counsel for the association had con-
tended that this money was in tue
which can be attached only through
proceeding in equity and not in a law

do So" the memorandum opinion con-
tinued. That charge has been strongly
protested. However. that may be, there
has been united effort, in every way
to avoid payment of the Judgment in
this case. If the contentious made
to that end we're upheld. it would. ir
