commissioner are in the Elks' Club
is one complaint, and another. uttered
vehemently by the military. men es-
pecially, Is that the new residence Of
the high commissioner for which Con-
gress has appropriated funds, is to
be built on made ground which will
cut the Army and Navy Club OF from
its fine location on Manila Bay and
move 1t inland. Trivial and unim-
portant as such things may be in re-
lation to the significance Of the in
auguration of the commonwealth, they
are nevertheless an accurate reflection
Of the attitude of Americans in Ma
nila.
Filipinos' Readiness Doubted.
According to this "old-timers' "
point of view, it is well enough to
talk Of ideaEsm and self-determina-
ton for the Filipinos when one is
5000 miles away from the Philippine
Islands. Out here the picture changes.
Americans who have lived among the
Filipinos for many years, who have
an affectionate regard for them as a
people and a sincere admiration Of
their many fine qualities, are none
the less far from convinced that they
are ready to paddle their own Ca
noes in the rough waters Of the
Orient. They have faith in such men
as President Quezon and Vice Presi-
dent Osmena and a few other strong
leaders Of the independence move
ment, but they have little faith in
the ability of such men to carve an
independent nation out of the Philip
pines and retain its independence
They are not convinced that even
President Quezon wants to cut loose
from the United States, or that more
than a few Of the 100000 Filipinos,
about half Of those over II years old
being illiterate, know or care anything
about independence.
They are unwilling to grant that
the Filipinos, a dependent people for
the last 500 years, have been edu-
Gated in western ideals and. western
democracy in 81 years of American
occupation to the extent that they
can create nation out Of people OF
different language and racial tradi-
tions who live on the 1000 inhabit-
able islands of an archipelago 1,o0o
miles long, in sight of the japanese
island of Formosa to the north and
Of British Borneo to the south, in a
part of the world where might is
right.
To Americans living In the Philip
pines withdrawal Of American sover-
eighty merely means withdrawal oi
the American flag, In favor of some
other flag that viii not be the ma
tional emblem Of the Philippines.

Hereditary Blood Group Study

DR.. Landsteiner first recognized
hereditary characteristics Of human
blood cells in 1900. For purposes of
transfusions, medicine broadly classi-

FIRE HAZARD SEEN
AT ST. EL|zADETHS
Available Water Supply Is
0utgroWn, Interior Re-
port States.

Directing attention to fire hazards
at st. Elizabeth's Hospital, where
more than 5000 patients are crowded
into inadequate quarters, the annual
report of the Interior Department
warned today that the hospital has
"outgrown the available water sup
ply and the danger line has been
reached" in case of fire.
The report said:
TN case of outbreak of fire, it Is
questionable whether sufficient water
could be furnished for the full op-
Grafton of the District fire apparatus"
Despite the difficulties Of fighting
a large confiagration, 27 fires were
reported at the hospital during the
fiscal year which resulted in a prop
erty damage of only $113. Prompt
action by the hospital fire depart
ment prevented heavier losses.
Growth Increases Need.
The rapid growth of the hospital
In patients, buildings and farm equip
ment is responsible for the need Of
increased water supply, which de-
mands. the report said. more than
the District can furnish. 1t has been
necessary to put pumps in several of
the new buildings to furnish water
to the upper floors and the report
warns that the danger line has been
reached"
An engineer Of the Public Works
Administration was detailed by Secre-
tary Ickes to make an investigation
and he reported as follows:
'The water supply question at st.
Elizabeths Hospital is extremely
urgent. The fire protection is wholly
inadequate and the demand during
the Summer months can barely be
met by the present arrangement.
Steps should be taken Immediately
to provide an adequate supply for the
hospital"
Cost Is Put at S82, 900.
The same engineer made an esti-
mate that to provide adequate water
either by sinking 24-inch we'll. or by
cross-connections with mains, increas-
ing size and elevation of the water
tank, and further connection with the
District mains could be secured at q
probable cost of $82 900.
Fire inspections and fire drills are
regularly made at the hospital, it was
said. and this efficiency did much to
maintain minimum amount of dam
age by fire.
The Interior Department submitted
w. P. A. program in excess of
s3.o0o,o00 for improvements at St.
Elizabeth's, but only small sums have
been made available. Included in the
program were measures to improve
water mains and replace some OF the
semi-permanent buildings built dur
ing the war which constitute a fire
| menace.

Reported to Have Considered Con-
fronting Bruno in ChaL.
BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 16.-The
Daily News in a dispatch from Tren-
ton, N. j., said today that Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh has vetoed plan to
have him appear before Bruno Richard
Hauptmann in the electric chair in an
attempt to obtain a full confession
regarding the Lindbergh baby kidnap-
ing
The News said the plan was con-
ceived Immediately after Hauptmann's
conviction last February and that Col.
Lindbergh was reported to have re-
ceived the idea with interest. The
plan was for Lindbergh to appear be-
fore Hauptmann as he was being
fastened in the chair with only a few
moments more to live.
The paper said, however, that activ1-
ties of the last few weeks, eliminating
in the revelatiin of Gov. Harold G
Hoffman's midnight death-house visit
to Hauptmann, have caused Lindbergh
and his advisers to abandon the idea
The aviator is said to feel that his ap-
pearance might be construed as an
admission of doubt as to Hauptmann'S
guilt.
Denial by Schwarzkopf.
Earlier Col. H. Norman Schwarz-
kopf, State police superintendent, said
he had no knowledge of a reported
plan to have Col Charles A Lindbergh
face Hauptmann in the hope of OBJ
tanning a confession from him.
Gov. Hoffman was not in Trenton
today and Attorney General David T
Wilentz was not Immediately avail
able.
Meanwhile Hauptmann's attor-
neys met to draw up a petition
for clemency. almost the last move re-
manning which may save him from the
electric chair the week of January 13
In the Office of Judge Frederick A
Pope at Somerville. Egbert RoSecranS
C. Lloyd Fisher and Pope will frame
the petition asking the New Jersey
Court of Pardons to intervene in be-
half of the convicted kidnap-slayer OF
the Lindbergh baby.
The petition will then be presented
to the clerk of the court, who will
notify Gov. Harold G. Hoffman.
The Governor, who already has Wis
tied Hauptmann in the death house,
will arrange the court session.
Chances Held Slight.
Hauptmann's chances for clemency,
however, are generally conceded to be
slim due to the set-up of the pardon
body, which is composed of the Gov
ernor, chancellor and six lay judges
of the Court of Errors and Appeals.
Clemency would require a majority
of the members, including the Gov
ernor. The Court of Errors and Ap-
peals by unanimous vote already has
refused him a new trial.
Besides the Court of Pardons, one
other avenue lies open.
Justice Thomas w. Trenchard, who
Friday night signed Hauptmann's
death warrant-to be carried out as
quickly as statutes permit-may be
asked to grant new trial on the basis
of newly discovered evidence.
Meanwhile James Capizza, 80, alias
Joseph Schaz. was brought back to
Trenton today from Dallas, Tex, to
stand trial on a charge of partici-
pating in a s3,24o robbery five years
ago.
Reports that Capizza was a secret
witness" for Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann were ridiculed by the Mercer
County detectives Office and local
police.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO RED CROSS
 GROWING DAILY
Committee Plans l00% Sign-up of Employed Per-
 sons by Thanksgiving

With the heo Cross Drive today venturing upon it's second we k workers report the sum already col lected to fall just $50 short of the 1894 Juneau total
 There are still ten days remaining to the drive; and the committee cheered by the ready response, hopes yet to secure 100 percent signup of employed persons in this locality.
 Half Remains Here
 It is pointed out by the local com mittee that only 50 cents of each contribution goes to the National Red Cross. The rest of the money donated remains in Juneau and vii cinity, where it is of direct and prac- .ical benefit to the local needy.
 Occasionally, it is true, Juneau has been called to cope with other Alas kan emergencies. Such was the case of the Nome fire year ago, when the Juneau Red Gross raised $500 to meet the crisis. In the majority of cases, however, the Juneau con- tributor to the Red Cross has the satisfaction of knowing that desti- ute residents of his own town are receiving the benefits of what he has been able to give.
 Needy Assisted
 Supplying blankets to survivors of a recent Juneau fire; providing teeth treatment and ye-glasses for needy children; distributing cod liver and halibut liver tablets to school chil- dren unable to afford this necessary bottled sunshine"; aiding the city to procure the services of a Red Cross nurse and financing regular medical examinations for the Sitka Territorial Schools, these are part of the routine business of the Red Cross chapter in Juneau.
 Persons who may have been missed by Red Cross collectors are asked to communicate with A. B. Phillips, Chairman of the Drive, or with mem bers of the committee, of which Mrs. Milton Lagergren is the head.
