/ Some years ago there was
bridge at Bath in so crazy con-
dition that cautious persons chose
rather to make long circuit than
run the risk Of crossing it. One
day, however, very nervous lady,
hurrying home to dress for the ev-
ening, came suddenly to the spot
without, till that moment, remem-
bering the danger The sight Of
the bridge reminded her Of its
ruinous state, just as she was
about to set her foot upon it. But
what was she to do? If she went
on, the frail arch might give way
under her. If she made the long
Journey around, much valuable
time would be lost. For some mo-
ments she stood trembling in anx-
ious hesitation; but at last happy
thought occurred to her. She call
\ ed for a sedan chair and was car
ried over in that conveyancel Be
hind the shuttered doors of the
chair she was unable to see the
Danger when it came, and she
made the trip with peace of mind.
We all realize the utter impossible
lty of overcoming danger by shut
ting our eyes to it. We laugh at
the woman who chose this particu-
lar means of overcoming her fears,
out how many of us do the same
thing? We recognize the danger
OF life lived without Christ; we
see the hopelessness of an eternity
spent outside the presence of God;
YET we persist in hiding ourselves
behind the closed walls of an as
sumed worldly happiness, simply
IN order to remove from our sight

HOFFMAN BARES
MOORE BID FOR
PARKER'S HELP
Letters Refute Senator's
Denial in Lindbergh
Case, He Says.
By United Press

BIZ Hifn PFfSS
TRENTON. N. j.. Dec. 11.-Ellis
H. Parker, Burlington County detec-
tive, was called into the Lindbergn
case by eX-Gov. A. Harry Moore,
Gov. Harold G. Hoffman said today.
He said he possessed letters refut-
ing Senator Moore's denial that he
had sought the services of the ia
nous detective.
Mr.. Moore. now United States
Senator, called in Mr.. Parker at the
instance of George M. Hillman Jr.,
Moorestown Democratic state COM
mitteeman. Gov. Hoffman said. Mr.
Hillman wrote letter to Mr..
Moore's secretary on March II, 1882,
advising that Mr. Parker had been
working on the Lindbergh case and
suggested it would be to the ad-
vantage of Gov. Moore to get in
touch with him, Gov. Hoffman re-
lated.
Three days later, on March Is,
the Governor asserted. Mr.. Moore
wrote Mr.. Parker, requesting him
to exercise all of his ability in con-
nection with the Lindbergh case and
stating that he would be very glad
to facilitate his efforts in any way
possible"
Mr.. Parker assured Mr.. Moore in
a letter on March Is. according to
Gov. Hoffman, that "he would do
everything within his power to clear
up the matter"
In a statement last week Mr.
Moore was quoted as saying he had
never called Mr.. Parker into the
case in any official capacity, but that
Mr.. Parker's proffered services had
been accepted along with those OF
hundreds of other detectives.

Experts Are Divided

BIZ ScrippS-HoWord Newspaper Alliance
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Manila
dispatch by Roy w. Howard, chair
man of the board of the Scripps-
Howard newspapers, on the fading
of the Filipino dream of independ-
ence, stirred vigorous discussion to-
day among authorities on the Ori-
ent in New York.
George Sokolsky, author of vari-
Gus books on the Orient, earnestly
supported the findings of Mr.. How
AID, while Raymond l.. Buell.. For
eign Policy Association president,
took stand in opposition.
Mr.. SokolSky, long resident in
the Orient and an authority on its
policies said:
Mr.. Howard has the courage and
perspicuity to hit the nail on the
head. Quezon told me years ago in
Shanghai that Philippine independ-
ence would be dangerous, I think
so, too.
, 1T is not only a question of ia
pans ambitions. Utter independence
of the islands would so upset the
balance of politics in the Pacific
that other powers inevitably would
be involved"
Mr.. Buell. said:
Mr.. Towards report that the
Philippines will ask indefinite con-
tinuance of the commonwealth form
of government apparently is the
opening gun in campaign to keep
The United States in Asia. l am OPP
posed to this policy because it is di-
rectly contrary to the noninvolve-
ment policy implied in our neutral
ity act
If the United States is to be re-
sponsible for protecting the islands
against Japan, it should retain con-
troll of the administration. But this
is exactly what the Philippine poll
ticians do not want"

alton today prepared to protest to

Institutions a proposed plan for

Al reorganization meeting last

signing proxies believing they would
receive dollar for dollar on their
investments, they said.
The plan submitted called for the
Shelby Loan Association, a Federal
savings institution, to take over
$4,000 in preferred mortgages held
by the Garfield organization, and
credit the shareholders with their
proportionate share. Then liquid
ating committee was to have been
formed to dispose of the remainder

On Feet Again

Times Special
SEYMOUR. Ind. Dec. IL
Seymour police are back on
their feet and it's breaking
the heart of Mayor G. w. Burk-
hart.
When the last of two de-
lapidated autos fell apart yes
terday, it meant that local
bluecoats would ride no more.
Henceforth they'll walk their
rounds, run if need be. Worst
of all, the city's 1885 budget
provides no funds for new cars.
Moaned Mayor Burkhart:
eve may as we'll close the de-
partment. We can't even take
prisoners to jail. If we sen-
fenced man we'll just have
to give him his commitment
papers and ask him to find
some way to Brownstown, the
county seat"

QUEzON FAILS
TO TAKE ISSUE
WITH HOWARD
Conflicting Views Stirred
Among u. S. Experts
by Report.

By Luited Press
MANILA, P. l., Dec. l1.-Presi-
dent Manuel l.. Ouezon tonight took
official cognizance of Roy Towards
newspaper article declaring that
the Filipino dream Of independence
is fading fast
In statement concerning the
article. Mr.. Quezon said simply that
he had taken the oath Of office.
swearing TO uphold the Common
wealth Constitution which provides
for absolute sovereignty in 1916.
In any event." he declared, "our
task as nation is clear to
make ourselves reasonably self-de
pendent and sufficient in every
respect as soon as possible
Observers believed it noteworthy
that Mr.. Quezon did not take issue
with Mr. Howard's statement.
The Manila Bulletin, the city's
only American daily, will say edi-
torially tomorrow that Mr.. Howard's
article constituted "one of the most
frank statements the Philippine
press or the Philippine public ever
has known.
Mr. Howard summarizes his sur
vey, an Independently conducted
and personally financed survey, of
Pacific political affairs by saying
openly but courteously the very
thing that every resident of the
Philippines has heard expressed as a
confidential and unpublishable opin-
ion over and over again. Frank, hon.
est talk of this type in the past
would have saved much of the blum
dering cropping that characterized
American Philippines policy and re-
lationships"
The islands must not falter in
their. 10-year independence pro-
gram, other Manila newspapers
commented
The Philippines Herald, an after
noon publication, carried forceful
editorial declaring the islands must
drive ahead toward their goal.
Congress has outlined a definite
program for us to accomplish" the
Herald said. The most sensible
thing for us to do II to set our hearts
and souls on it and get it done.
Who can tell now what course Far
Eastern politics will take 10 years
in the future?
'Nobody--and that includes Mr..
Howard"
The Vanguardia, Filipino owned
Spanish language afternoon paper,
advanced a milder argument for
continuing the program. Mr. How
ard was right, the newspaper said,
when he declared that a certain
group in the islands would like to
see the Commonwealth government
continue indefinitely.

100000 worth of goods seized by
Indians.

the company territory formed by the
triangle of the Little Kanawha and
