He said that, while he had seen va
rious types of polish on the ship, he
did not know the names or properties
of the cleaning equipment, nor, he
averred, had he ever gone into lockers
and consequently could not describe
the materials.
He said he was awakened by the
telephone operator and told fire had
broken out.
He said that he saw no fire until he
had assembled to B deck.

not describe them.

McNally answered negatively.

CLOSED, as I remember" McNally
replied
Hoover stated, Then shall have
to ask you the leading question-were

McNally said he didn't remember"

Stewards Were Capable.
James Pond, second steward on the
Moro Castle, testified that all mem
bers of the stewards department were
capable and experienced.
"I picked them myself" he said.
Pond said he was informed of the
fire at o'clock eastern daylight

Il was in my state room when a
night watchman came in and told me
about the fire." the witness said.

Pond said he handled a hose, play
ing it on the fire through windows.

the swiftly spreading flames.

extinguish the FIRE"
Passengers began streaming up on
the deck, Pond continued, and he and
several officers took charge Of them.
Passengers Leaped Overheard.

"I dashed to my room and got my

The witness then told Of how he
went to state rooms. looking for ras-

Pond said that the smoke at this
time became so thick he could scarcely
see and that passengers were told to
descend to D deck.
It heard man, . passenger, shout:
"'Come on, let's go overboard-what
are you waiting for?' Another said:
"what are you standing around
for, you women?'"
Child Slides Down Rope.
He said he saw a boy slide down
a rope and into the sea.
"The child just padded over to q
lifeboat and was saved. Others were
sliding down the ropes and leaping
over the side" he said.
The fire seemed to lick right along
the decks and bulkheads. There
seemed to be nothing to retard its
advance" he testified.
He said that on the portside he
could see no hoses being played on
the fire.
Pond declared that when he first
saw the fire it was beyond control.
Did you notice anything peculiar
about the fire-its rapid spread?"

wind famed the fire swiftly through

He said that he was responsible for
life belts in the lockers and some
of the rooms"
But in some Of the state rooms

removed them"

MANILA STRIKERS SLAIN
Two Union Men Killed as Police
Fire Riot Guns.

MANILA, P. l., September II (P).-
Two striking cigar workers were killed
and several injured as police fired riot
guns into a crowd of union men out
side the La Minerva cigar factory
here today.
Oficers said several hundred pickets
were trying to force their way into
the plant, operated by non-union
workers
Today's deaths we're reported to be
the first such strike fatalities in
Philippine history. The death toll may
be increased. physicians said, from
among the injured.
Five thousand workers are idle in
the strike for higher wages which
began nearly month ago.

 The presence of the sills is considered by MT. Porter as in- dicative of high ore making possibilities which he confi- dently expects to disclose with continued exploration. The tunnel driven on the middle vein has been directed princip- ally to exploring the area be- tween the stills, which are de- scribed by MT. Porter as ideal for catching and holding the mineralizing solutions.
 The East vein is said by MT. Porter to range around ten feet in width on the surface. De- velopment so far has been con- fiend to open cuts.

 It is we'll known, however, that earlier samplings of the vein have revealed unusually high silver values. A smelter test made at Tacoma in 1930 gave returns of 325 ounces of silver, in addition to II ounces in gold, exclusive of other val ues.
 Cutting through the property from west to south and dipping sharply west are two felsite sills, one of which forms the hanging wall of the middle vein, after cutting through the West vein, which is about 19 feet in width. The second sill, located west of it's companion, also crosses the West vein be-

Half American Percentage
 Good For Citizenship

Any child born abroad of an American father or mother after May 24, 1884, is an American citizen at birth and may retain such citizenship by coming to the United States and residing here for five years immediately preceding it's eighteenth birthday and take the oath of allegiance within six months of attaining it's majority, according to a re- cent ruling of Attorney Gener- al Cummings.
 Failure to comply with either provision will divest it eff the citizenship right. But from birth to thirteen years of age the child is as much citizen s.s if born in this country or abroad of citizen parents.

DON'T ASSAIL YOUTH

IF you read the magazines, go to the movies
or listen to lectures you probably know all
about modern youth.
Modern youth, as all these agencies have
assured us over and over, is irreverent. fighty
diSobedient. and generally bound for perdition.
Home is just place to sleep and parents are
Just people who provide food and clothing and
pocket money for restless youngsters.
That's the picture anyway But some per-
sons in the research bureau of the New York
Welfare Council got to wondering about it re-
Gently. and set to work to find out if the pic
ture is true one.
So they sent missionaries to some 500
Brooklyn school girls. They asked them,
among other things. if they always asked their
parents consent when they planned to go out
anywhere in the evening-and all but twenty
nine of the 1000 replied very emphatically,
they always did!
There were other questions too; and
tabulation of the answers shows that the aver
age Brooklyn school girl goes to bed at 10, or
earlier, each night; puts in a good deal of
time studying her lessons at home; goes to
church or Sunday school regularly, and pre-
fers to spend her leisure time at home rather
than out with friends.
And all this sounds like pretty good refu-
tation of the common talk about flaming
youth This cross-section of Brooklyn girl
hood shows us a youth that is what we like
to think of as normal-youth that behaves
itself properly and stays at home, and works
hard on the tasks given it, and lives very much
as its parents lived when they we're young.
1t is very probable that lot Of our talk
about the wildness of youth comes from a
subconscious sense of guilt. During the last
fifteen years We have given youth pretty
cock-eyed world to look forward to- what with
wars, depresSions and so on.
We have expected youth to kick over the
traces because deep in our hearts we know
that the state of the adult world has been an
indictment of our own shortcomings, and our
talk about youths failings has reflected on us
more than on our children.
1t is interesting to see how this actual sur
vey of modern youth fails to justify our
calamity -howing.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

nineteen days in desert hole, is promised
by Arizona authorities.
Since passage Of the Lindbergh law last
June federal and local authorities have solved
every one of the twenty-five major cases of
kidnapping and extortion except this Robes
case although not all Of the criminals involved
have been caught and punished. x
Passage Of the six federal anti-crime bills,
now before President Roosevelt for signing,
will strengthen the governments arm One
bill makes it a federal offense to transport
kidnapped person across state line, and
authorizes the government to participate
seven days after a kidnapping on the aSsump-
ton that the victim has been carried from
one state TO another.
Another measure makes extortion by means
of telephone, radio telegraph or oral message
a general offense. Finally, Attorney General
Homer Cummings is asking for federal de-
tective force of 27O.
Some see in these measures a trend toward
Fascism. There are obvious dangers of mis-
use in increased federal police power How
ever, the misuse Of force by the government
in this situation is less probable than by mobs.
If mobs are driven to taking the law into their
own hands by reason of lax law enforcement.

DEBTORS LAMENT

DREsIDENT ROOSEvELTs decision that
nations which don't begin soon to make a
serious effort to pay their war debts will be
regarded as defaulters seems to have aroused
something of a storm in the English press.
One London newspaper reporting the story
put the headline "Highwayman Act" over it,
implying that Uncle Sam is changing from
Uncle Shylock into Dillinger's kid brother.
Now this is probably quite human and
natural; a man who has long since made up
his mind that he is not going to pay debt
is bound to feel deeply irritated when his
creditor suggests that he ought to have little
something on account. And yet it is hard to
feel great deal of sympathy for the view
point.
If Uncle Sam, who loaned lot of money
in a war that he didn't start, is a highway
man for wishing he could get some of it back,
what are the nations which emerged from the
war with their pockets full of reparations,
colonies steamships and mandates?

WHEN JUSTICE is DUE

A NEW YORKER got drunk the other day,
got into fight with friend and unn-
tentionally killed him with a blow of the fist
The killer was brought into court where he
pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter
The ordinary sequel would have been
prison sentence. But the judge who handled
this case seems to have been man of con-
siderable discernment. SO instead Of send
Ing the slayer to prison, he ordered him to
abstain from all alcoholic drinks for five
years. to pay the funeral expenses of his VIC
tim, and to pay the widow SIS week for
five years.
If the man fails to live up to this agree
ment he goes to prison for a fve-year
stretch
This looks like an exceedingly sensible
decision. Too often, when society Furnishes a
law-breaker. the law-breaker's victim gets left
out in the cold
Here is a case in which a measure of JUS
tce will be done to the innocent persons
who suffered because Of the killing.

ANSWER TO PROPAGANDA

TOSEPH EASTMAN, the federal co-ordinator
of transportation, who disclaims any de
sire to assume the role of propaganda for
public ownership and operation of the rail-
roads has given the complete answer to one
fatuous argument against this plan.
Speaking before the National Association of
Mutual Savings banks at New York City, East
man needed the campaign to get congress to
pass a resolution against government owner
ship and operation to resssure holders of Sc
curites.
And then Eastman, whose thinking about
public ownership is perhaps the clearest in
the country, said this:
There are distinct dangers in public own
ershp and operation against which safeguards
ought to be provided. but the fact is that
nobody has less to fear than the holders of
railroad securities. Experience in this coun-
try and all over the world clearly shows that
when the government takes over private prop
erty it invariably pays fair price and usually
more than the property is worth. In fact that
is one of the reasons why 7 am not now urg-
ing acquisition of the railroad properties I'M
der the financial conditions by which our fed
eral government now is faced"
What the co-ordinator wants to avoid, in
short, is having the railroads take over the
government when as and if the government
decides again TO take over the railroads

VALUE OF ONE LIFE

business men of many lands are taking
~ out insurance with Lloyds. the famous
London agency, against the death of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Lloyds officials revealed not long ago that
the demand for such policies has risen TO
an unprecedented pitch in recent months;
and it reflects wide conviction that the
speed and smoothness of world recovery de-
ponds in no small measure on the continued
life and good health of the smiling gentle
man in the White House

everywhere indorse the Roosevelt policies.
But II does show how the pace Of American

This GRAVE MENACE"

DERSONS who appreciate the uphill road
that stretches before the senate NUM-
tons investigating committee will welcome the
support pledged by the President in his mes
sage to congress yesterday. More than one
worthwhile congressional inquiry in the past
has been wrecked by wires pulled through ex-
ecutive departments.
The senate committee is going up against
the strongest and toughest vested interests
including the arms. steel and chemical indus
tries. Some of those interests have used gov
ernments as rocks and people as pawns in an
international game of profits. So it is espe-
cialiy reassuring to read the Presidents charge
to the executive departments to cooperate
with the committee to the fullest extent"
Senate ratification of the 1925 munitions
trade treaty. which the President requested
would be a wholesome gesture now. But that
treaty is so full of loopholes, more significance
is to be attached to the Presidents hope that
the coming meeting in Geneva will agree upon
a stronger convention.
1t is difficult to understand why the Presi-
dent failed in Yesterdays message to ask for
passage of the pigeon-holed arms embargo
bill unless he has in mind an even more eff
fective measure now in a formative stage.
Even action in relation to the Bolivia Para
quay conflict where American made munitions
deal death on both sides of the Chaco-as pro-
posed in the new Pittman reSoution-will not
cover future conflicts.
Out of the worldwide agitation for peace
and sanity. out of our own senate's projected
inquiry should come something more than
fine phrases. The menace is great AS de-
scribed by the President:
The peoples of many countries are being
taxed to the point of poverty and starvation
in order TO enable governments to engage in
mad race in armament which if permitted
to continue, may we'll result in war This
grave menace to the peace of the world is
due in no small measure to the uncontrolled
activities of the manufacturers and merchants
Of engines of destruction. and it must be met
by the concerted action Of the peoples of all
nations"

SATURDAY. MAY 10. 1884
NOT so HONORABLE

INVESTIGATING committees Of both houses
Of congress have filed reports on bank
ruptcy practices in the federal courts that re-
veal shortage Of plain old-fashioned honor
among their honors. certain of our federal
judges.
The senate committee delved in California.
It found that in three cities federal judges
had allowed receivershp and bankruptcy fees
totaling in two and half years more than
than s9,OOO0OO; in San Francisco and Los
Angeles counties in two years judges disburse6
in fees and other administrative expenses 43
per cent Of all receipts Of the bankrupt con-
Germs; estates in distress we're burdened with
expenses that amount virtually to a confisca-
ton OF the rights of creditors
One federal Judge granted s497 in re-
ownership fees for every 81 paid in creditors.
The senate committee also branded as "un-
conscionab BILE" methods used in a voluntary
scheme before Judge Frank NorcroSs of Ne
vada. now facing the senate for confirmation
to the United States circuit of appeals.
The house committee went cunning in
Chicago there it found Federal Judge Charles
E. Woodward. repeatedly naming as counsel
for receiverships the law firm in which his son
was employed Out Of twenty-Seven equity re-
ceivershps handled by this judge, young
Woodlands firm employed in nine at fees
totaling 1923 889. The judges son started with
this favored firm in 1927 at a S25 weekly
salary; in 1892 he earned s16,412 in salary
and commissions on business he brought in.
Judge James H Wilkerson whom Hoover
tried to promote. also comes in for criticism
by the committee. The house judiciary COM
mittee in fact. is considering impeachment
proceedings against three out of four Chicago
judges whose receivership records are de-
scribed in the report.
Present receivership and bankruptcy prac-
tees cry aloud for reform. At best they are
inefficient. costly and unfair to creditors and
shareholders; at worst they are shot with
nepotism. favoritism and malpractice Federal
legislation is needed to protect creditors from
the greed of administrators and conserve dis
tressed estates seeking court relief
But vastly more important than more laws
are more scrupulously honest judges. The
President can not be too careful in picking
nominees for the federal bench, and the sem
ate can not be too careful in its combinations.
