PHILIPPINE’S
CONSTITUTION
OKEH IS GIVEN
WASHINGTON. March 23. (*)—A
flourish of President Roosevelt s pen
Satwday brought Philippine inde
peuA.'ce another step nearer reali
- Surrounded by Philippine and
United States officials, the president
i approved the recently drafted in
sular constitution.
That marked the last action neces
sary by the United States for the es
tablishment of home-rule govern
ment in Manila on November 15.
Nominates Justice
To the assembled officials. Mr
Roosevelt announced that he would
nominate Claro M. Recto to be a
justice of the supreme court of the
Philippine Islands “in recognition ol
his able services as president of
the Philippine constitutional con
vention.”
The president added:
“I am happy to state that the
constitution submitted to me upon
behalf of the Philippine constitution
al convention with certification un-|
der the Tydings-McDuffie indepen
dence act conforms with the pro
visions of the act.
“The members of the convention
are congratulated on the satisfactory
completion of a task so important
and significant in the life of their
people.
“In the event of ratification of
this constitution, the authority
| granted to the commonwealth gov
ernment will permit exercise by the
Philippine people of general con
trol. subject to only a few importan
exceptions of their local affairs.
“During the oeriod of the com
monwealth, there will remain with
the government authority commen
surate with and necessary for or ap
propriate to the ultimate respon
sibilities of sovereignty.
To Continue Experiment
“Animated solely by feelings of
cordiality, sympathy and loyalty, the

people of the Philippine Islands have
been conducting together a great
experiment, and during the period of

Her Late Famous Husband
LONDON. March 23 uP>— Lady
Conan Doyle said Saturday ‘ I don't
recall that Sir Arthur ever discuss
ed anything so silly aa an airplane
seance."
(In an airplane seance Thurs
ine commonwealth government this
experiment, and during the period
of the commonwealth government
this experiment will continue until
the ultimate withdrawal of United
Stales sovereignty and the establish
ment ol complete independence.”
The members of the Filipino mis
sion here and resident commission
ers Delgado and Guevara, said.
• The Filipino people are deeply
grateful to President Roosevelt for
the lavorable action taken by him
on their constitution."
Recto will be nominated to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation
of Justice Thomas A. Street, effec
tive May 1. 1935.
Ten years hence, under commit
ments of the act passed just a year
ago by congress, the Philippine re
public is to be established, but Sat
urday’s formality was accompanied
by some indication that this final
seperation irom the United States
might be postponed.
Praising the constitution, the
president certified its acceptability
to Governor General Frank Murphy,
and then congratulated Manuel L
Quezon, president of the Philippine
senate and considered the probable
first president of the commonwealth.
Others present were Secretary
Dem .Manuel Roxas. who has been
mentioned as possible choice for the
islands' first vice president; Claro
M. Recto, president of the conven
tion that fathered the constitution
and other members of the group that
delivered the document to the pres
ident last Monday.
Governor Murphy was expected to
summon the Island legislature im
mediately to arrange a plebiscite on
acceptance of the constitution. After
popular approval election of the new
government officials is scheduled.
day over New York City, voices
identifying themselves as coming
from the spirits of the late Sherlock
Holmes creator and others, were re
ported. A voice ascribed to Sir Ar
thur said "recall to Lady Doyle our
talk with John Goldstrom.” The lat
ter was a passenger on the planej
Lady Doyle said she was extreme
ly skeptical about the voice and de
clared that her husband, as far as
she could recall, never discussed
the matter ‘ either with Ooldstrom
or anybody else."
“I would recall it if he had. He has
warned me time and again against
these many mediums, especially
American, who claim to be in touch
with him and he would not need to
tell others that he is guiding my in
terests. He tells me constantly and
I know it is true.”
She acknowledged that Goldstrom
is a reputed spiritualist but express
ed a suspicion that some one among
his fellow passengers might have
been guilty of a little plain or fancy
faking.
Lady Doyle also denied claims of
Howard Thurston, magician, that he
was the last of the trio to possess a
keyword Sir Arthur was to have
attempted to send from beyond the
grave.
• Thurston, after the airplane
seance, said the identifying word
was not a part of the remarks at
tributed to the “spirit." He prev
iously said that Conan Doyle left
the key word with three friends.
Harry Houdini. John M. Hilliard
and himself. Thurston now is the
only one alive.)

(A*»— The government* apparently
successful tests with a radio-com
pass plane came to a climax Sat
urday in an aftermath of contro
versy. Abrupt conclusion of the
tests was announoed Friday night
close on the heels of the unexpect

Snow, who had been in charge of
the series of flights over the Paci

The radio-compass is designed to
make ocean flying Tool proof.**
Major Snow declined to explain
his resignation, but associates indi

cause of a controversy with Secre

Hawaii, as the major desired.
The plane's crew previously had
made known It p’l uned to fly to
Hawaii. b|t Secretary Roper direct
ed that the tests should be con
fined to flights of not more than
900 to 1,000 miles out to sea and re

Major Snow announced his resig

last of the test flights—a hop which
took the big dual-mot ored mono

Soon thereati.r James L. Kinney

FORD V-8
First Car to Close the Gap Between
Low Price and Fine Performance
FROM THE $2000 PRICE CLASS
COMES THE V-8 ENGINE TO
HI*1
POWER THE MOST ECONOMI
CAL FORD CAR EVER BUILT
The Ford V-8 occupies a distinctive place among
automobiles. There is no way to compare it with
any other car because there is no other car like it.
The Ford enables you to step up into the fine-car
class in performance, beauty, comfort and safety. But
there is no stepping up in price. That is kept down
by Ford low-profit policies and unique manufactur
ing methods. These are as different as the car itself.
What the Ford has done is to establish a new stand
ard of value. Fine-car performance isn't limited to
the well-to-do these days. The Ford V-8 has made it
possible for the average motorist to have the kind of
car that used to be beyond his reach.
It takes eight cylinders to give modern perform
ance. And the Ford is powered by a V-8—the finest
type of eight-cylinder engine. You have to pay more
than 82000 for that in any other car.
Ford cart are priced at $495 up F. O. B. Detroit. Standard accessory group including bumpers and spare tire extra.

Water Transportation
In Valley Discussed
( By Staff Correspondent)
SAN BENITO, March 23 - The
effect of water transportation on
the Valley will be the subject of
the adult education forum in the
music room of the high school at
7:30 o'clock Monday night. Davis

ber of the board of directors of the

payment of the bonus.
And James E. Van Zandt once an
Olympic runner, has traveled 900.
000 miles and averaged six speeches
a day urging bonus support since
his election as commander-ln-chlef
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
two years ago.
The Patman bonus bill, providing
payment through currency expan
sion. was supported by Van Zandt s
organization against the Vinson bill,
which the American Legion backed.
Patman once was a cotton tenant
farmer "paying 24 per cent interest"
on his loons He studied law and
was admitted to the Texas bar in
1916 When the war broke out a year
later, he enlisted, only to be dis
charged when doctors discovered a
heart ailment and gave him "JO more
days to live.'*
The Texan re-enlisted at the near
est recruiting station. Although his
heart disability kept him from go
ing overseas, he rose from a private
to a first lieutenant, and was an In
structor in machine gunnery.
After the war. Patman served four
years in the Texas house of repre
sentatives. and then became a dis
trict attorney. On one afternoon, he
recalled, he closed up 44 gambling
houses.
He was first elected to congress
in 1929. His initial bonus bill pro
posed issuance of bonds, but in 1931
he decided the currency expansion
method of payment was preferable.

INDIANS LAUGH
AT WAR RUMOR
LEWISTON. Idaho. March SI. m
— Blood eurdllnf warhoops re
sounded In the Nes Perce Indian
reservation Saturday and died in
roars of laughter from red men and
white.
The Nes Perce warriors, garbed
in ready-made clothing, whooped
loudly when they were unofficial
ly informed-through letters writ
ten by a woman in Forest Hills. N.
Y.—that they had gone on the war
path and massacred several promi
nent New York men in the Snake
river valley.
Postmaster Fred KMng. the
sheriff of Nes Perce county, the
Lewiston chief of police and Idaho
National Ouard all received letters
telling them of the Nes Perce out
breaks and massacre.
The letter said in part:
“The Nes Perces and other In
dians have been guilty of murder
In the 8nake valley region near the
hot springs • • • They have shot
and killed several prominent men.
stripped them of their clothes, tied
their hands and feet and thrown
them naked into the hot springs
basin where they swirled around and
perished.”
Whm they finished laughing, the
warriors started their automobiles
and went riding, or returned to
their spring plowing.
Not since Chief Joseph led a
band of braves on the war path in
1877 has there been an Indian wax
in this region.
