SILVERMIHiNG
REVIVAL SEEN
Denver, Colo., April 21 ttP A
general revival In mming in the
western metal states possibly
boom was predicted today by min
ing experts and bimetalists as a re
sult of the United States having
dropped the gold standard.
It was believed that metals would
share in any advance made by com
modities In general with beneficial
effect. Chief hope, however, was
based on- possibilities of silver being
remonetized at some fixed ratio with
gold.
The fact that silver is mined as
a co-product of lead, zinc and cop
per, would mean that an increase in
its value would make digging for the
other metals more profitable by vir
tue of reduced production cost.
Except in the case of high grade
deposits, however, mining of silver
would not be profitable at a price
of less than 60 to 70 cents an ounce
authorities- aaltl. Tha increase oE
about 10 cents which followed aban
donment of the gold standard was
viewed as a first step toward new
higher prices.

"The first thing- I knew the sky
was as light as day for a split
second," Davis- said, "My wing hid
the meteor then I saw it. It was
a biff ball of fire with a wide tail.
Tt was off to the east and slightly
above me.
"It was traveling from south to
north and descending on a slight
an?le-. It lasted about 10 seconds
then faded away. At the time It
looked so low that I thougfl it was
going to land, but X don't know
whether It did or not.
"The color was an Intense blue-
white similar to that of an electric
arc. The ball and tail seemed to
be disintegrating. If there was
any noise I did not hear it, due to
the roar of the motor."
GOOD RESULT SEEN
BY JOSIAH STAMP
London, April 21 (VP) Sir Josiah
Stamp, one of the most eminent Brt-
tish economists, said today that "if
the speculative and gambling spirit
is kept in check ' there is every rea
son why American business should j
expect good results from President
Roosevelts new financial measures, i
"It would seem that the president
or his supporters are bent on arrest
ing the decline in prices," Sir Jo
siah said. "This is a fundamental
operation. It may have the effect of
weakening the dollar for a time but
If it succeeds in reviving confidence
internally and is done carefully it
also revives confidence externally.
"There is every reason why Ameri
can businesses should be hopeful of
good results if the speculative and
gambling spirit is kept in check.
"What Is wanted is such a meas
ure of reflation as will enable bus
inesses to make a profit and busi
nesses to pay their debts but not
such an amount of reflation as will
encourage speculation on the stock
market."

JAPAN FOUNDS
DUMMY STATE
IN NORTH CHINA
Shanghai, April 21 (P) Estab
lishment of an Independent state
in the coastal area of North China
by the Japanese and Manchukuan
forces which seized tha area was
reported today.
The new domain Is the triangular
area between the great wall of
China and the Lwan river with Its
base extending about 60 miles
along the Yellow sea and Its apex
at the point where the river and
wall meet nearly 100 miles inland.
Japanese and Manchukuan offi
cials were reported to have held a
meetliuz yesterday at Peitaiho, the
coast town near Chinwangtao. where
a so-called Lwantung provisional
government was organized.
American naval authorities here
announced today that the U. 8.
destroyer Henderson has cancelled
a scheduled call at Chinwangtao on
May 15 as a result of the occupa
tion of that city bv the Japanese.
The destroyer, bringing provisions
for the United States marine guard
at Pelping, may call at Oangku,
the coast town near Tientsin, about
May 10 unless tlie Slno-Japanese
conflict has enveloped that city by
then. In that event the ship will)
go on to Shanghai. The destroy ev is
coming from the United States via
Manila.
The separatist action north of the
Lwan river causer spread of rumors
that Peipiug and Tientsin, the two
largest international centers oi
North China, may also be brought
under the new government.
There were reports that Gen. Ro
Ymg-Chlntr. minister of war m the
Chinese nationalist government
who went to Peiping to succeed
Marshall Chang Hsiao-Liang a;
ruler of North China, was prepar
ing to depart. In the face of pro
paganda and Intrigues to over
throw the Nanking government's
authority In North China, he was
said to have despaired of his abil
ity to handle the situation.
Japanese elements in Tientsin
maintain the outbreak of a rebel
lion ay a ins t the Nanking govern
ment is imminent. Indications ap
peared to point to rapid progress of
the movement, which might end in
Japanese troops being- welcomed in
Tientsin 'and Peiping. They are
now at least temporariyl halted
along the lwan river and the great
wail, only 65 miles northeast oi
Peiping and about 90 miles east of
Tientsin.

GAY METEOR
SEEN IN SKY
Portland. April 31 (A1)- A tre
mendous blazing in the eastern sky
startled thousands of persons in
two states last night as a flaming
meteor slashed the night and light
cd the heavens with beautiful col
ors. The spectacle occurred between
8:45 and 8:50 p. m. The meteor
passed from south to north along
on almost hotlzontical line. -It
seemed to change in color from
green to blue to white as it ap
pronched the northern horizon. A
long red tall from which sparks
dropped hung in the sky.
In many sections of Oregon and
Washington the sight was witness
ed; Observers at Yakima said they
hear the meteor "explode and felt
a vibration of the earth. "A rumbl
ing which resembled two or three
fai-away explosions of dynamite'
was heard by one person.
So brilliant was the meteor that
hundreds here estimated its dist
ance at from "about one block" to
five miles. But at Madras more
than 100 miles east of Portland,
;and at hundreds of other points
;mucn lartner away the same per
l spectlve appeared.
; One witness at Tacoma said the
meteor burst Into seven fragments
and apparently burned out com
pletely before striking the ground.
At Seattle a woman said the skv
visitor was "about the size of a
full moon."

NO PAYMENTS
BY JAPANESE
Peiping, April 31 VP) The Jap
anese legation today denied an an
nouncement attributed to it that
Japan is willing to indemnify dam
age to American missions caused by
Japanese bombers.
The United States legation previ
ously was informed that Japanese
bombs had damaged an American
Methodist Episcopal out-station, in
charge of a CWnese pastor, at B4U-
yunhsien.)
A legation spokesman said tha
Kwantung Japanese army several
times had paid compensation in in
dividual cases and that this prac
tice would presumably be continued
if circumstances justified tt. Thtt
Kwantung army Is the name given
by Japanese to the forces assigned,
to duty in Manchuria. Originally
the task of these troops was to
garrison the Kwantung, leased ter
ritory. "In cases where property Is used
as a screen by Chinese troops," he
said, -however, "Japan will be un
able to accept the responsibility.
A Chinese military communique
today said that Japanese- aviators
flew over Mlyun, 50 miles north of
Peiping, dropping leaflets which,
read:
"Ada Is for Asiatics. Yellow races,
wake up. Manchuquo te a paradise.
JehoA Is like a bud before blossom
ing. The Imperial Japanese army
comes from heaven, loving peace,
maintaining Justice, and suppres
sing bandits tn cooperation with
Manchukuo. The Japanese army J
the strongest In the world."
LAMONT WRITES ON
IDEAS OF BANKING
New York, April 21 (IP) No thorough-going
banking reform in the
United States can be brought about '
until nil commercial banks are
brought Into the federal reserve
system ftTva "sena.Wt" pnisto&a lor
branch banking are established,
Thomas W. Lament, partner of J.
P. Morgan & Co., writes in the
current issue of Collier's magazine
in a biography of Henry P. Davw
ison.
Even so, the remedy for our
banking ills will not be found over-
ni5.1t, either by this congress or
the next," he states.
We must come to regard a bank
ing charter not as a privilege con
ferred upon a chosen few, or upon
on unselectcd many, in order that
they may make money with other
people's money; but as a public
trust, and in that sense and in that
sense only, as a 'money trust.' '
