Philippine Legislature rejected.
So anxious was he to free the Philip

almost any independence bill. How
ever. he regards the Hawes- Cutting act
as fair and feels the islanders unfair
in their demands. They evidently want
independence. he said, but none Of the
initial hardships that go with it, such
as tariffs and exports.

ACTION
FederaI-AmeriCan and Bank of
BrightWood Follow Advice
Of Comptroller

The District Commissioner to-
day instructed William w. Bride,
Corporation Counsel, to institute
proceedings in the District Su-
preme Court asking writ Of
mandamuS be issued compelling
the national banks in Washington
now in the hands of conServators
to file returns on their gross
earnings during 1882.
This action was taken despite
letters from J. F. T. O'Connor,
Comptroller of the Currency, re-
garding the Federal = American
National Bank and the Bank of
Brightwood, the latter organized
under the laws of Arizona.
Mr.. O'Connor wrote that he
had instructed the conServator
of the Federal-American not to
file a return with the Assessor Of
Taxes for the District and had
taken a similar course with the
Brightwood institution.
The Federal-American conSer-
vator and the receiver for the
BrightWood Bank were told to
certify to the Tax Assessor that
they had no funds in hand for
payment of taxes.
The Comptroller of Currency
cited several cases in the letters
to Mr.. Bride in which it was
held any money in closed banks
belonged to depositors and credi-
tors, even though the bank had
been solvent during the time the
tax returns cover.

of fogotten things.
The unpretentious frame build
ing once visited by thousands of
tourists who sent postcards to
their home towns will be discon-
tinued August Is, the Postoffice
Department has ruled.
The reason for it's abolition is
because the poStoffice nearby can
serve the needs of the community
and because its receipts did not
justify it's existence. 1t was said
at the department today that last
years business totaled only about
$50, while Postmaster John r.
Wells received $86.
The postoffice was established
February IL, 1878, and it's first
postmaster was Henry Clay
Rogers. In the report to the Post

that there are only Is families liv.
ing in the vicinity of the postoffice

One of the main reasons why you have seen such great pitch ing in the big leagues this spring" volunteered my conning-tower man, lis that the boys realize they have to work harder to keep their jc5s and forestan the chances of fur thsr salary cuts.
 Most of our star ball-players, in the first place, did net realize a depression was on until about a year ago. Some of them didn't give it any thought until they saw their contracts this past winter. They let out big rear at first, then the situation finally, as we say, dawned on them.
 They noticed what happened so a fellow like Vance, supposed to be a big-money shot and in great de- mand, even at his advanced play ing age. They realized that the magnates meant business, that the days of soft jobs were over and that the bright idea was to get down to brass tacks again.
 "A number of the leading pitch ing stars like Wes Terrell, accepted a bonus clause for so many vlc- tories, which means they will be in there bearing down for all they are worth Other veterans. taking notice of the great crop or young sters coming up to prominence, re- alize they have got to pitch for their jobs.
 So, with everybody bearing down now, as Kipling used to say, for i'm and er and it. you are having some very fancy boxwork and further proof of the fact that you can't tell what a guy will do until he has to do it.
