Case Against Philippine
independence Quashed

An effort to halt Philippine indie
pendence failed yesterday in Dis
trict Court here.
Justice Oscar r. Luhring sustained
che Governments motion to quash
service and to dismiss the BILL
B. M. Gancy, Filipino lawyer and
economist, who gave his local address
as 722 Jackson place NV, brought
bill OF complaint for declaratory
judgment in District Court recently,
asking that the Tydings- -McDuffie
Act, looking to Philippine independ-
ence, be declared void and unconsti-
tutional. He argued that Congress
was without authority to ALLEVIATE
territory cf the United States.
In asking the court to quash serv-
ice on the Government and dismiss
the bill, the United States argued
the court was without authority and
that the question was political and
not judicial one.
Representing the Government
were Attorney Ralph S. Boyd of the
Justice Department, United States
Attorney David A. Pine and Assist
ant United States Attorney Howard
Boyd. The Boyds are brothers.
Justice Luhring did not write any
opinion in throwing the case out of

MASONS MAY BUY
zOLL|COFF FER HOME
Considering Purchase Of
Property To Be. Frater-
nal Quarters

Masonic groups of Henderson are
considering the purchase of the FOL
licoffer homeplace on Young street
between the court house and the First
Presbyterian church, as a lodge hal
and club rooms for members, it was
learned today. 1t is understood price
has been named by the Zollicoffel
heirs, and a committee of the Masonic
lodge is now trying to work out plan
for maintenance of the property il
they should acquire it.
The understanding is that the fra
tes'nity is favorably impressed with
he idea and that if plan can be
designed to provide for the upkeep
the deal may be consummated
For many years the Masons owned
the lot at the corner of Winder and
Wyche streets taken by the govern
ment for the enlargement of the Hen
derson post office. After some litiga-
ton as to the price, Federal Judge
|. M. Meekins set the value at $15,-
COO, which the government is paying.
The fraternity will, therefore, have
ample funds for acquiring and re-
modelling the house if they decide to
take it.
When the committee is ready to
report on a plan for maintenance q
decision will be reached by the lodge
as to what it expects to do. The price
to be paid for the property was not
learned.

Kerr Defends Spending.
b Judge Kerr Esaid> people ought te
know more about politics, and that
re-awakening isaneeded. Noting thc.t
the present administration had been
greatly criticized, he advised the au-
dience not to be alarmed at the huge
ness of the national debt but to think
of what had been done with the
money and be proud that the United
States could raise and spend so much.
He said the nations wealth was 500
billion dollars and the annual income
SO billions and that in one year the
whole debt could be paid from the
years national income and have &c
billions left.
The government said the judge, had
helped private interests and indivi-
duals to reduce their debts in much
larger amount than the national debt
had expanded. He directed attention
to work done by the WPA, the PWA,
and said all the latter had been for
permanent improvements. Seventy
percent of the school houses built in
the past five years had been financed
through the PWA along with 80 per-
cent of sewage and waterworks con-
struction and 81 percent of the hos
pitfalls built in the last four years, to
say nothing of roads, bridges and the
like.
Million Dollars to Vance.
Citing aid to the farmers, Judge
Kerr said over a million dollars had
been distributed to farmers in Vance
county alone in the last five years
by the government, which had tried
to encourage the farmers to take care
of their land. He asked what had
the Republicans done for the farm
ers and any one else, other than to
raise the tariff higher and higher. :
Presented by Mrs. Alderman, Mr..
Cooley called attention to unsettled
and warning conditions throughout
the world, and said Americans ought
to be thankful for peace here. But
there are problems here and the in
diyidual citizen had no right to shirk
his part of the responsibility. The cleo
ton next Tuesday, he asserted, will
be either condemnation or an APP

Cooley, a member of the House Ag-

Tended the AAA crop control act Of
1888. He said it was not perfect and
had not been administered in every
way as it might have been, but de-

act were provided it would be by the
Democrats and not the Republicans.
