MASS INITIATION
 TODAY'S HICHLICHT

(Continued from Page 1.) Brenckman, Washington represefi- tative, last night warned of in- creasing the public debt.
 The debt, he said, if equally dis tributed, would amount to $S57 per capita or $1,7S5 per family of four.
 At AZ per cent interest, he said, the interest on the debts or all units of the government would be more than two billion dollars year.
 we may try to console ourselves by saying that this is a public debt, and that 1t is not a personal obligation on the part of any one of us," he declared. But the stubborn fact remains that the bill must be paid through the toll, sweat and self-sacrifice of the pri- vate taxpayer. The public debt, in effect, constitutes mortgage on every farm and every home in the land"
 Nearly a hundred resolutions has been received by the committee up to last night. Offered without de- bate, many of them will be re- vised or rejected.
 They expressed for and against sales tax; indorsed permanent bank deposit guarantees; disap- proved organizatoin of holding companies; divided opinion on child labor amendmenti urged an old age pension system, support. ed jointly by state and federal governments; approved net tn- come and inheritance tax to pre-. vent excessive concentration of wealth; demanded foreign goods made from American raw rnateri- als be prohibited in markets of this country; called upon the gov. ernment to protect dry territories under repeal and opposed the trans- fer of national forests from the Department of Agriculture to the Department of the Interior:
 Delegates awaited with interest the conventions action on the New Deael and the liquor question. A number of temperance advocatos were in attendance.
 A group of prohibitionists, con. fronted with a good beer" adver- tisement on a drop curtain in the convention hail, covered the dis. play with an American flag.
 Reports of state masters con- tinued to flow in. David H. Agans, New Jersey, declared farm ing unprofitable in his state for the past year and in numerous in- stances farmers suffered individual losses from $4,000 to 5000 on their potato crops.

DEMOCRATS WIN
 N. LEGISLATURE
First Time in Twelve Years They Have Had Control

Concord, N. H., Nov 16--(UP)- Democrats will control the state house of representatives for the first time in 12 years, belated re- turns from last weeks election in- dicated today.
 Indications were that the house, largest body of it's kind in the country, would be composed of 2l1 democrats and 211 republicans. An independent member, indicated, however, he would vote with the democrats in caucuses, and re- publican announced he would be aligned with the opposition party.
 A tie vote in the town of Bow between republican and demo- crat probably will not be decided until after the legislature meets. Another tie is between two derno- cratic candidates.

The above ordinance is introduced with
the view of lessening the number of mo-
tor vehicuar accidents which have been
very frequent of late.
Ord Member for Christiansted Country
District armstrong;: Mr.. Chairman and
gentlemen of Council. The reason for in-
Producing this amendment should be
self evident bur due to the fact that we
have recently had series of accidents |
think some explanation is necessary. |
would like to bring to the attention eff
the Council the more recent ones. About
twelve days ago a buss coming frsm
Frederiksted turned ever with twenty
one passengers on board Hckiy no one
was hurt. Last Sunday there was tri>
pie accident, there was car coming east
and huss going west and they eOllided
| think. therefore. It is high tin1e to do
something 10 control the speed of bias
and truck on she road. The enforcement
of the Motor Vehicuar Ordinance is not
as easy here as 10 the United States.
Here you are supposed to give testimony
and proof that such a vehicle was
breaking the speed limit, so it has been

equipped with a governing device it
would tend to make travelling in the is
land more safe intend bringing in an
amendment to the effect that the Ordi-
nance will come into force sixty days af-
ter IT'S approval by the Governor. That
would give two months to owners of such
vehicles to equip them. With these few
remarks | beg to recommend the ordi.
nance to you for favorable consideration.
3rd Appointed Member (Pentheny);

whether the proponent of the ordinance
would like to include all kinds Of tracks.

have an ordinance here which says: ALI
motor buses and trucks carrying pas
sengers for hire must be equipped with
a governing device ...."
LIST Memter for Christiansted Town
(CGnegat0): Mr.. Chairman. | think / am
in agreement with the general principle
outlined in the ordinance, but it seems
to me that we have to make distinction
when it comes to trucks. For instance.
half ton truck could have a different
speed. say thirty-flve miles per hour
when the road is clear. only want to
suggest that.

ADELPHI SETBACK
 WATERFOWL FIVE
Freddy De Leon Leads North Enders to Close
 Win Over KieselS

In one of the most exciting games played this year at the North End "Y", last night the Adelphi defeated the Kiesel Five of Watertown. Having advantages in height and age. still the losers could not cope with the fast pass ing and spectacular shooting of the Adelphi quintet. The Kiesel Five lowered head and shoulders over the tallest player on the Adelphi.
 During the first period, Freddy De Leon kept the Adelphi in the running, securing four field goals. As the game progressed however, the Kiesel Five took advantage of their height and as the half ended were leading by score of 23 to IA.
 The second half showed the real power of the Adelphi. Trailing by nine points at the close of the first half they came back and Scored twenty-two points during the last two periods, displaying a beautiful passing attack that had the losers baffled. Towards the end of the game, the Kiesel Five, in their ef- forts to overcome the few points advantage that the Adelphi had. began to play a rougher game and this was the only thing that mar, red an otherwise perfect game.
 Freddy De Leon, diminuitive star of the Adelphi garnered fourteen points while Wilbur Dunn, past season Crosby captain, secured seven. Bosco, Victor, and Petrone also starred for the Adelphi while J. Kiesel and Krull were the out standing performers for the losers. The game was referred by Hennie Jacovino. who did notable job.
 The box score:
