During these days Of uncertainty
and nervousness spies are at work on
a grander scale than they were before
the World War Hardly a month
goes by without another great spy
scandal being discovered.
Stayisky, the arch crook who feeced
the French people to the tune of some
100000 600. has been proved to have
been the head of a spy organization
with ramifiCatiOns all over the world
even in the United States. Members
of the French secret police are now
on the way to the United States to
find the links between the headquar
tcrs of that organization in Paris
and its branch in America.
The latest spy scandal was I'M
earthed in Budapest, where number
of people of the Hungarian high So
cIety and some high ranking officers
have been found to be working for
some "neighboring foreign powers" ;"
The officers committed suicide, while
the others were arrested. The head
of the organization was beautiful
French woman, Flora Pascal, who
managed to escape. Another woman
who belonged to the ring was Princess
OdeScalchA who became a cabaret
dancer in order to exercise her pro-
fession with greater ease.

The Partisan Cercle du Faubourg,
a very highbroW debating society,
where only such questions as Com
munism versus Fascism, or Dictator
ship versus Democracy, were dis
cussed, found itself losing its mem
berShip.
Its organizers announced two weeks
ago that the question of Mae West
versus Marlene Dietrich would be dis
cussed.
There were 5000 people at the door
of the hall where these debates are
held, trying to obtain admission and
a number were injured in the scram-
BILE to get into the hall. which could
not hold more than 5000.
After two films were shown, the
debate was opened. No less than 25
debaters had to be rushed to he hos
pital, with more or less serious in
iuries as a result of the arguments
which followed the showing of the
films.

WARREN CLEARED
BY GRAND JURY
Body, However, Indicts Col.
Cooper in Bank Con-
SpiraCy Case.

Convinced Of his innocence. the
District grand jury yesterday eXOner-
ated Bates Warren of criminal charges
in connection with the management
of the Commercial National Bank, but
voted for the reindictment of Col
Wade H. Cooper, former president of
the institution.
The new indictment voted by the
grand jury is said to charge Cooper
with the misapplication of approxi-
mately 100000 of the banks funds
Several weeks ago both men were
indicted by the same grand jury on a
charge of conspiring to misapply this
money. That indictment was dis
missed by Justice Peyton Gordon after
counsel for the defendants had at
tackled its validity.
Both Cooper and Warren, the lat
ter being former general counsel for
the bank, were permitted to testify be-
fore the grand jury during their re-
consideration of the case. The grand
jury. during its original investigation.
had refused to hear them.
In announcing the favorable action
taken by the grand jury in Warren's
case, United States Attorney Leslie C.
Garnett said: THE jury was con-
vinced of Mr.. Warren's innocence"
The new indictment voted against
Cooper is said to charge him with
using Commercial National Bank
funds in making allegedly improper
loans to and buying stock of the Con-
tmental Trust Co., with which he
formerly was affiliated.
Warren was represented in attack
on the original indictment by Attor-
neys William E. Leahy and Edmund
Toland. Warren contended he had
no knowledge of the alleged irregu-
larities in the bank. Col. Cooper will
be represented in an attack expected
to be made on the new indictment

interests blocked the licenses In some
of the cases.

Filipino Bill to Receive
Speedy Action in Senate
Mission, Confident Of
Success, Prepares to
Return to Island.

By the Associated Press.
The Senate is getting ready to speed
to President Roosevelt the McDuffie-
Tydings bill to free the Philippines.
Confident the Senate will show the
same strength displayed by the House
in passing the measure yesterday
members of the tenth Philippines in
dependence mission began packing
their bags today for departure to
Manila.
The bill was the first order of busi-
ness on the Senate calendar Al
though faced with determined opposi-
ton by Senator King, Democrat, of
Utah, who wants to free the islands
Immediately, its proponents predicted
it would be placed on the Presidents
desk before the week end.
The measure is re-enactment,
with certain changes, of the Hawes-
Cutting bin passed last year over
President Hoover'S veto and rejected
by the Philippines Legislature. 1t
permits establishment of an inde-
pendent Philippines republic by
presidential proclamation in about -
years if the Philippines Legislature
accepts and calls constitutional con-
vention before October l.
One change from the HaweS-Cutting
measure IS an agreement by the
United States to withdraw its mill
tary reservations from the islands aft
er independence. This country re-
10 -ffrl1N -
tiQns and fueling stations, this prob
lem to be ironed out in negotiations
after independence.
The bills sponsors say quick passage
here will be followed by acceptance
in the Philippines Legislature. Presi-
dent Manuel L. Quezon Of the Philip
pine Senate signified his belief that
it will be accepted.
The probability was suggested today
that delegates to a constitutional con-
vention to start the machinery for a
commonwealth Philippine government
will be chosen in the islands June
legislative elections.
Adoption and acceptance of con-
Stitution will be followed by the in
Stitution of commonwealth govern
ment to function pending complete
independence. This will come 10 years
later, following a transition period for
economic adjustment during the latter
five years of which graduated export
taxes viii be collected on Philippine
products shipped to the United States
Money thus collected will go into a
separate fund to liquidate all Philip
pine Indebtedness at the time Of in
dependence.

A man entered the office of the

AZ. This number was obtained for
him after a good deal of telegtaphing
and telephoning A week later, be-
fore the lottery was drawn, he ap-
peared again and asked to be paid
the principal prize. The agent tried
to humor him. convinced that he had
to do with a man who had lost his
equilibrium.
As the winning numbers started
coming in, number AZ won the princi-
pal prize. Everybody wanted to find
out by what wizardry the man had
come to get the tip. Its all very
simple, he said. Il dreamed one night
about my mother-in-laW and I looked
that up in my dream book and found
1t under number Z. Next night I

MORE LAND URGED
FOR D. C. PROJECTS
Bill Embodies New Plan to Pro
tect Adjacent Property
Owners.

The product of a study by those in
terested in city planning is incorpo-
rated in a bill recently introduced in
the Senate by Chairman King OF the
Senate District Committee providing
for acquisition by the District of land
in excess of that actually needed for
public projects and Improvements.
The purpose Of the legislation, 1t Is
explained by DR.. Llewellyn Jordan, a
member of the Law Committee of the
Washington Board of Trade, is ito
measurably prevent the creation Of
ineQuities and hardships such as have
been visited upon property owners in
the past in the development Of the
Capital"
Senator Kings bill deals with "ex-
cess or incidental condemnation" The
principle. according to DR.. Jordan. as
exercised under the right of eminent
domain. is gradually spreading. and
the utility more firmly established in
city planning throughout the United
States.
1T will be found" he said, that
scattered throughout the city there
are many instances which have oc-
Cured in connection with the widen
ing of streets, acquisition of play
grounds, parks and sites for public
buildings, where individual property
owners, adjacent to the particular
projects have suffered irretrievable
and irreparable damage to their re-
spective property holdings"
The bill would empower the Com
missioners to acquire property in ex-
cess of that actually needed. "in order
to protect public works and improve
ments and their environs. and to pre-
serve the view. appearance. light. air
and usefulness of such public works
and improvements, or to prevent in
equities or hardship to adjacent prop
erty owners"
The Board Of Trade has as yet
taken no action with respect to this
legislation, according to Robert j. Cot
trell, executive secretary.
