NEW FREEDOM SOLUTION VITAL TO PHILIPPINES Fears of Far Eastern War Make Island Stauts Important. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scrlpp*-How ard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON’. Jar s—Today, in the Philippines, the United States has reached the forks of the road it must take one of three courses 1. Hang on to a defenseless and undefendable outpost, more than 6,000 miles from San Francisco ; nd 9,000 miles from the Panama canal. 2. Rewrite the treaties of Washington and London to make it possible to build vast fortifications and naval bases in the Philippines and Guam, and lay down enough new warships to double the navy we now maintain. 3. Free the islands as soon as practicable, negotiate a treaty of neutrality with other major powers, and grant liberal trade terms to make the islands economically, as well as politically, independent. Danger in Congress The new crisis in our relations with the Philippines was brought about by congress passing an unsatisfactory independence act. its rejection by the islands’ legislature and the coming lapse of that measure less than two weeks hence. The danger now is that congress, absorbed by domestic difficulties, and irritated by the refusal of the Filipinos to ratify independence on the harsh terms under which it was offered, may impatiently turn the islands adrift without further ado, or else forget them entirely. To prevent either of these fates overtaking the Philippines, conferences of crucial importance are now under way between President Roosevelt, Secretary of War George H. Dern and other high officials of the administration on the one hand, and President Manuel Quezon of the Philippine senate and anew independence mission on the other. Early Solution Vital An early solution of the crisis is all the more vital because of the uncertainty which now overhangs the far east. There is widespread fear of war in that part of the world, and the fact that the United States is known to be on the point of giving up the Philippines only serves to increase the islands’ danger and further weaken America’s position.

The scrapping of the nine-power treaty by Japan, and its virtual abandonment by Great Britain and Prance, left the peace of the western Pacific even more precariously balanced than it was prior to the Washington conference of 1921. On top of that, Japan has no a 7 served notice on the world that unless given approximate parity with the United States and Great Britain she will withdraw from the Washington and London naval treaties next year and build a fleet limited only by her own desires and her pocketbook r Draft Plan Completed Definitely setting at lest all doubts as to the future status of the Philippines, practically all Filipinos and most Americans believe, would reduce to a minimum the peril to the islands and the menace which this peril means to the United States. A distinguished group of Americans representing the Foreign Pol- \ icy Association and the World Peace Foundation has laid before the President a draft solution. It calls for early independence, -trade relations of a character to make the islands economically sound, the withdrawal of all military and naval bases and the negotiation of an agreement among the Pacific powers to keep hands off the Philippines. It is now frankly recognized that recent events have proved that international pledges are not always kept. But,, it is urged, an imperialistic power bent upon expansion would be more likely to attack the islands as matters now stand than it would if attack meant running afoul of all the major powers instead of only one. One ton of wood pulp will make three acres of paper.

Emil Ludwig Emil Ludwig, Hitler-exiled biographer of Germany, has written “Portrait of a Comedian,” a view of Charlie Chaplin, in the January issue of “Esquire.” With this issue “Esquire” becomes a monthly publication, instead of quarterly. This “magazine for men” suddenly became so popular that it was decided to triple the size of the publication and make it a monthly.

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN SOME time ago Richard Haliburton, author, told me that New York newspaper men who cover murder cases and the courts should make ideal writers of murder mysteries. Mr. Haliburton's casual remark during an informal conversation about books has been realized. Alexander Williams, a New York newspaper man, has turned out a corking novel, Death Over Newark.” Mr. Williams’ book brought me face to face with my milkman on the two mornings I was reading it. The book certainly creates a desire to stay up as late as possible. In “Death Over Newark,” one gets the impression that the author has had much experience in covering murder cases, has had much to see during the travesty of prohibition, and lot of information on the dope racket in the big city. Out of his vast experience as a reporter, he has created fictitious characters which seem to duplicate those he has covered in real life. The result is that Mr. Williams has placed more action in his story than character description, although his characters become real in action and not so much by the spoken word. It is this keeping of characters in type, permitting them lo act and not talk so much which puts melodrama on every page of this story. a tt a “T'\EATH Over Newark" is a J-/ striking example of producing so much speed and suspense that the reader at times finds himself racing from one page to another. In “Sherlock Holmes,” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle rolled up certain big scenes to give suspense. On the other hand, Mr. Williams in “Death Over Newark” has a big situation in every chapter. of the New York homicide squad is an unusual fiction detective. Mentally, he is miles away from being a superman, but he is a fighter with his fists w'hen necessary and he is able to reduce every situation to a nutshell so that he can grasp and digest' every important detail. If you are longing for a murder mystery of action and anew type of a detective for fiction, you will relish “Death Over Newark.” It is published by William Farquhar Payson and sells for $2. to a a AS an author. Alice Roosevelt . Longworth is mighty popular in Indianaoplis. Her “Crowded Hours” nearly heads the non-fiction demand.

SLACK SCORES TAX PRACTICES Exemption of Properties Not Limited, Former Mayor Says. There is a growing tendency on the part of taxing officials to exempt certain properties from taxation because of the relation of the property to religious, fraternal or charitable institutions. L. Ert Slack, former mayor of Indianapolis, said yesterday. Mr. Slack, an attorney, spoke at a meeting of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board at the Washington. While there is a natural tendency to favor such institutions demanding property tax exemptions, there is little evidence of an effort to limit this practice, Mr. Slack said. He cited a number of judicial opinions affecting the taxation of real property handed down in Indiana since 1853. He declared that in most decisions, it was held that only property held “exclusively, wholly and purely for religious, charitable and fraternal purposes | was exempt from taxation.” Following Mr. Slack’s address, there was a discussion of legal and taxation problems. INstallTnew officers Federated Patriotic Societies Will Meet Tomorrow. Federated Patriotic Societies allied with the Grand Army of the Republic will meet at 8 tomorrow night at Ft. Friendly. 512 North Illinois street. Following installation of officers, a program will be given and refreshments will be served.

DECISION AIDS DR. WYNEKOOP Judge Rules Defense May See All Evidence State Has. By Timn Special CHICAGO Jan s.—Defense and prosecuting attorneys maneuvered today for advantage in the trial of Dr. Alice Wvnexoop. once prominent physician, on charges of murdering her daughter-in-law. Rheta. Judge Joseph David granted a continuance of the trial until next Thursday on a plea of defense attorneys that their client was too ill to appear in court at this time. The pre-trial legal skirmishing centered around evidence seized by the state’s attorney’s office. Defense attorneys listed twenty-five items which they declared were taken from the Wvnekoop home without a search warrant. Judge David denied a demand that the state return the articles, but ordered that the defense attorneys be allowed to inspect all the evidence in the state’s possession next Monday. The Cascade tunnel in Washington state is the longest railroad tunnel in the United States.

Gratitude?. Says Man He Fed Robbed Him of 525.

“'J 'HERE S gratitude for you." sighed George Johnson, 32. Negro. 441 Agnes street, in reporting the theft of $25 from him last night. Johnson told police that he met Arthur Young. 30. Negro. 626 Hiawatha street, and bought a meal for him last night. As they were walking from the restaurant glowing with the good fellowship of full stomachs—or so thought Johnson Young is alleged to have held him up with a revolver. Young denied the holdup to police. Neither the money nor the gun could be found when he was visited by police. Auto Injures Chicago Man Charles Russo, Chicago, sustained head injuries today when he stepped in the path of an automobile driven by Frank X Erath. 125 West Twenty-seventh street, at Chesapeake and Illinois streets. Mr. Russo was taken to city hospital.
