MANILA, August Sdgar B, Davis, former president of the United States Rubber Co., told Manila Ro- tarians today that the existing laws | prevent America from developing the rubher supply in the Philippines.

Davis said he came to Manila for the sole purpose of finding how rub- ber can be developed here without in- volving politics, but found as soon as he had landed that the rubber ques. tion runs squarely into politics. He sald he fears that the Filipinos are making a big mistake by Involving rubber development with the inde- pendence issue.

Germany and France joined hands at the preliminary disarmament con- ferences yesterday in obtaining the adoption, against the opposition of the American and the British dele- gations, of a resolution concerning the average age of fleets. The French formula for estimating the age of a fleet was approved by & majority on Tuesday and yester- day the Gierman project was adopted, declaring that the age thus obtained constitutes one of the factors to be taken into consideration, although it does not seem possible to apply it as an exact coefficient to the tonnage of the different countries in order to arrive at an equitable comparison of naval values. The Americans and British tried to have eliminated in the declaration that age as reckoned by the French formula_constitutes a factor which should be taken Into consideration, but the committee refused to agree.

The ohjects are—international collabora- tion by the minority groups to safe- guard, clvle, economic and political equality, the maintenance of racial srhools and national traits, and the achlevement of these™ by peaceful methods. The Catalonian delegation charged Spaln with suppression of their civic rights. The Catalonian spokesman, Dr. Maspons Anglassell, declared that Catalonia always would keep her language, literature and {ndividual- ity, adding: “Injustice can never stifle our demands. It will only en- gender catastrophe and war.” Thirty-one minority deputies from European Parliament, and several Senators were: present. These In- cluded a number of Germans. The Hungarian deputy from Czecho- slovakia, Gena Szullo, sald that the people of the United States loomed up as a hope, because of their moral support of the cause of the minor- itles. “Our misfortune,” he asserted, “is due to the fact that neither President ‘Wilson nor the United States Gov- ernment, in framing the treaty of peace and remodelling central Europe, understood the real nature of their task.” THREE GUARDS HURT | IN PRISON FLARE UP Prisoner Shot and May Die in Short-Lived Revolt in West Vir- ginia Penitentiary.

By the Associated Press. ZAMBOANGA, Philippine Islands, August 26.—Some of the friction exist- ing between the Moros and the Chris. tian Filipinos of this section was wi nessed by Carmi A. Thompson, Presi- dent Coolidge's personal representa- tive in the Philippines, when he arrived here today with his party on a tour of the island. The Moros accused the Filipinos of breaking an agreement with them that each should share equally in the demoristration in connection with Thompson's reception. Two thousand Filipinos assembled at the pier with independence placards, but before Thompsion disembarked. Col. Luther Stevens. constabularly commander, went aboard the steamer Mindinao and informed him of the differences. The Moros stated that it was agreed that both Moros and Filipinos should occupy positions in the plaza, but that the Christian Filipinos broke their promise and rushed to the pier to welcome the visitors. Mr. Thompson said: “If there is any danger of trouble, I won't land.” The Filipino governor addressed the people at the pier, urging them to return to the plaza. Addressing Mr. Thompson, the governor said: “We wang gou for our next gover- nor-general.” Mr. Thompson said he regretted the incident at the pier. Later on at the United States Military Reservation Thompson addressed the Moros, who displayed placards reading: “We don't want Independence. The Moros are not with the Christian Filipinos in asking independence.” Another placard read: ‘‘Whether independence is granted or not, we ask that the Moro country be segre- gated from Luzon (the main island), where Manila is located) and the Visayan Islands.” Full Measure.
