TESTIMONY IN GILCREASE
DIVORCE TRIAL DIFFERS
Mother of Youth Accused of In
timacy With Beauty Testifies
in Her Defense.

BY the Associated Press.
PAWHUSKA, Okla, April 28.-The
mother of the youth with whom Mrs.
Norma Smallwood Gilcrease allegedly
was intimate testified for the 1925
Atlantic City beauty contest winner
in the divorce trial of Thomas Gill
crease, Tulsa oil man, here yesterday.
Mrs. T. E. Genet, wife Of pioneer
Tulsan and mother Of the young man
named by prosecution witnesses,
Charlton Genet, said she never had
observed "any indecorum between
Charlton and Norma"
Earlier Mrs. Lucille Brown. Mrs.
Gilcrease's sister, testified the contest
beauty had entertained her Sunday
school class, was gracious and sweet"
to her husband and his relatives and
was devoted mother who had taught
her 6-year-old daughter ito say her
prayers"
The testimony was in conflict with
that Of witnesses for the plaintiff.
They had said the 26-year-old beauty
was on intimate terms with young
Genet, painting his portrait behind
locked doors and with blinds drawn,
and gave her baby daughter hard
liquor to drink.

business fell completely into the con-
troll Of the virile Chinese; in every
agricultural community the intensive
farming Of the Japanese drove the
ancient owners Of the soil into the
wage-worker caste. Over the grassy
hills of Masbate and Southern Min
danao swarmed hereditary herdsmen
from India. No women came with
these immigrants. They married the
daughters Of the Malay and the old
blood was fast diluting.
Politically, no less ominous changes
took place. A constant temptation
to the strong, a harvest for foreign
concessionaires, the islands naturally
fell under the dominance of the great
Pan-Asiatic concert. The pagoda and
the tori replaced the cross and the
cathedral Of the old-time faith. The
prince Of an Asiatic house came sas
Governor General into the MALAGA
nan, while the band on the new
Luneta now closed its evening con-
certs with Flower Of Asia, Well Be-
loved"
The double chamber LEGISLATURE
with which the young republic began
its existence had been replaced by a
single house with merely advisory
powers and reduced in numbers.
There was not a provincial official
Of Malay blood in the islands.
Practically every Filipino of enough
wealth convertible into cash to main
tain him abroad was undergoing self
imposed exile from his native isle.
Paris and Madrid sheltered the older
Latin-bred generation. Those who
grew to manhood under American
schools very naturally turned toward
America. And many a radical who
cursed the Anglo-Saxon in other days
now cursed his latest rulers from a
refuge under that starry flag of whose
fall in the Orient this humble chron-
icle has aspired to tell the tale.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April 28.-
Deocratic defenders Of Federal re.

Minority leaders denounced the N.

acting clause.
Loyalty to President Roosevelt was

Considerable doubt exists as to the

Proposed Excise Tax on Oil Sent
to q. S. Causes Action
in Philippines.

MANILA, April 28.-Vicente Al
mario, coconut planter on the Island
of Leyte, destroyed 5000 trees in
view of the excise tax of 3 cents a
pound on coconut oil imported into
the United States proposed in the
revenue bill before Congress, accord
ing to word received here yesterday
by Representative Isidro Vamento.
Similar action by other planters is
predicted.
Kenneth B. Day, manager Of the
Philippine Refining Co., a leading
coconut oil concern, called the prefer
entail of cents in favor of Philippine
producers over foreign oil concerns,
which are to be taxed 5 cents, "a
sugar coated pill" He predicted the
levy would be hard blow to the

ganized in special highly skilled
trades. Once its power has been
established, the aim Of each organ
ization has been to promote the in
terests of its own limited member
ship.
Naturally Militant.
BY their very nature such organi-
cations have been militant. Without
questioning the social desirability OF
much that they have accomplished,
it must be said that they have also
been responsible for some jurisdic-
tional conflicts and labor warfare that
have been costly as well as wholly
unjustifed. In some cases it has
resulted in an aristocracy OF labor
enjoying special privilege quite un-
attainable by the mass OF workers
In the building trades in our largest
cities the exceptional terms obtained
by militant organizations have un-
doubtedly diminished construction
reduced the housing available fol-
other workers and diminished en-
ployment even for the members OF
the organizations themselves.
In all friendliness to the cause OF
labor it must be said that special
terms of this kind are at the ex-
pense of all ether workers and Of So
ciety as a whole. In the end the
wages and hours of house painters
will result in some sort of paint spray
er which, with poetic justice, will
greatly benefit labor in general but
work hardship on the organization
members. The extension Of this type
of single-craft organization to all in
dustry in America Is, in sense, eco
nomically paradoxical. The success
Of such types Of organization tn the
past has been due to the fact that
they were groups Of highly organized
