REPATRIATION FUND GRANTED
 TO FIL|PIN0S
Officials Apprehensive Few Will Take Advantage
 of Offer to Return

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-Trimmed from the original S450,000 request to S10O,O00, the appropriation for fi- nancing the repatriation of jobless Filipinos received final Congression- al approval late yesterday.
 Officials said the prospects of re- turning many Filipinos to the Is- lands has been lessened by the ex- tensive propaganda among them against returning to the native land virtually as paupers.
 Capitol Hill heard without con- firmation that jobless Filipinos, par ticularly those on the Pacific Coast, might be dropped from the relief rolls unless they took advantage O. the proposed free transportation homeward

TASCOSA, Tex, Nov 26. WP)-
John Lang came back to old Tss-
cosa, for last look at time faded
page OF the Old Vests history
then he departed for his home in
Haines, Ore, to spend his last days.
Tears streamed down his face
as he walked among the dusty
headstones on Boot Hill" that
mark the graves of his friends,
killed the night of March 81, 1886,
in a feud between cattle trail driy-
ers. That fight is remembered as
one of the bloodiest in range history
of the Texas plains.
Lang, then cowboy, in subse-
quent years joined the Alaskan gold
rush, served in the army in the
Philippines during the Spanish
American war, and later, was a
member of the Oregon legislature.
He came back to Texas to visit
the Texas Centennial Exposition,
and was drawn bv vivid remem-
brance of his stirring youth to visit
old Tascosa, now deserted save by
Mrs. Mickey Mccormick, whose nus
band lies buried in Casa Romero
cemetery nearby.
Luck Charm Fails
Lang told of leaving a cattle camp
at Jerry Springs, that March after
noon in 1885, with three compan-
ions, to ride to TascoSa for
spree" Frank Valley drew his
six-shooter, killed rabbit and cut
off the left hind foot to keep for
a luck charm.
They visited Jim East's Equity
bar. Ed King, Lon Woodruff,
Charley Emory and Lang emerged
from the saloon and started across
a street to Jess jenkins saloon.
A volley out in the darkness. King
fell dead. Successive blasts felled
Woodruff and Emory. A rifle shot
ripped Lang's coat sleeve.
Lang said he lodged into East's
saloon and begged the bartender,
Concho, to lend him a loaded re-
yolyer. Concho refused.

Indianapolis Flies
Presidents Flag
On Many Cruises

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26. U.P)-
The cruiser Indianapolis long has
been favored by President Roose-
velt as his personal cruise ship
and has the necessary facilities for
his comfort and convenience.
The President embarked on the
indianapolis at Campobello on
July 9, 1893, and cruised on it un-
til arrival at Annapolis, Md, Aug.
/.
At that time. incidentally, the
President had only recently been
inaugurated while the Indianapolis
had just completed her shake
down cruise" in Central American
waters. Officially, they are vir-
tually contemporaries. as the
President was elected and the In
dianapolis was commissioned in the
same month.
In September. 1888, the Indian
apolis took Secretary Of Navy
Swanson for an inspection Of naval
stations in the Canal Zone. Terri
tory of Hawaii and the West Coast,
and in January, 1884, this cruiser
was assigned as flagship of the
commander, Scouting Force.
President Roosevelt reviewed the
United States Fleet on the bridge
of the Indianapolis outside New
York harbor on May 81, 1884.
The indianapolis has accommo-
dations for an admiral and IA

GEISHA STRIKE
IN TOKYO WON
BY 34G GIRLS

TOKYO. Nov. 26. UP)-In the
first strike Of It's kind on record
$40 pretty geisha o. the Shibuya
district have won their demands
that restaurants reduce their
charges for Eeisha entertainment
The strike was unique in tive
ways-it was the first joint effort
by geisha TO dictate teams of EN-
ployment and IL was a request for
decreased rather than increased
charges.
The girls, gaily kimonoed but
grimly determined. held out for
charge of yen 70. two hours en-
tertainment rather than the pro-
posed rate of 4 yen. The higher
figure, they argued. would drive
patrons to other establishments.
After a few days OF negotiations
during which the geisha paraded
and plaStered their headquarters
with campaign signs, the restau-
rant men capitulated.
Patrons who had been employ
ing the geisha were on the side OF
the girls, for the proposed higher
rates would have come out of the
customers pockets.
The employers argued that the
higher rate was necessary so that
their overhead, risk of bad debts
and other incidentals to manage
ment, might be cared for.
The success Of the strike became
assured when the patrons trans
ferred their business to establish
ments which conformed TO the
geishaS' prescribed rates.
