L} FARNESE PALACE IN ROME DAMAGED BY LIGHTNING Fire Started But Quickly Extin- guished in Noted Edifice Built in Early Centuries. By the Associated Press. ROME, September 6.—The -Farnese Palace, most magnificent of all the Roman edifices built in the early six- teenth century, and now eccupied by the French ambassador, was struek by lightning during a violent storm today. The holt caused a fire, which, however, was checked with inconse- quential damage to the strueture. The torrential rainfall flooded a dozen low.lving houses and several streets, while the lightning caused a number of slight fires. The Farnesa Palace was hegun by Cardinal Alexander Farnese (after- ward Pope Paul IT1) from designs by Antonio da Sangalln, the younger, and was continued after his death in 1549 | under the direction of Michelangelo. It was completed in 1580. The ma- terials were taken partly from the Coliseum and partly from the Thea- ter of Marcellus.

S, ISSUE Coming Plebiscite Hailed as Futile and Mock Affair, Ruled by Fear. BY WALTER ROBB. Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago Daily News. MANILA, P. L. July 28—The plebiscite on the independence ques- tion, which has just been repassed by the legislature here over Gov. Gen. Wood's veto of Iast vear, is ex- pected to cost ghe public treasury of the islands several hundred thousand dollars hesides the time of many in- sular, provincial and municipal of- ficials and employves. It will prove nothing not already known; the chief objective seems to he to get Gen. Wood's veto overruled by President Coolidge, there being provision for such an appeal, and add one more argument to the doctrine that Wood unnecessarily antagonizes the native element in the government. There is the hope that if Presi- dent Coolidge votes the project, he will then be face to face with the Philippine question as a national ismue, If such an issue were drawn in the United States the Democrats could cite denial of the full right of peti- tion and the governing of a peopls without their consent. They could Aassert that solemn promises are not being carrfed out, and their friends here, the Quezon element, hope they could work up quite a case of sym- pathy with the allegedly downtrodden Filipinos. No taxpaying Filipinos have taken enough interest in the bill even to attend a single session of the Legis- lature during the debate; one tax- payer, aside from the members, was seen at the lower house. but he is an ex-member of that hody. The gal- leries were full, however, of univer. sity students, and the members, dis. daining to address the chair, turned their faces to the galleries and talked to_the undergraduates. Thesey vouths toil not nor spin. but they ard always splendidiy arraved in silks and fine footwear. Their study of politics is that it mav amuse their idle vears after graduation, for they are the sons of landlords running plantations with peon indentured labor.

They study law and medicine, the polite courses, to give t a polish to go with their sartorial per- | tection. This is the sole element that heard and applauded the plebiscite bill. Most members of the House them selves are mere youths without criti- cal judgment of anything. The ac- holding of the plebiscite, if it occurs, is certain to fall suddeni: upon an unsuspecting publie.
