GREAT SLUMP COMLEG?

AMERICA TO SUFFER MORE THAN BRITAIN.

REMARKABLE PROPHECY

LONIKIN, August 25.

Dr. Clapham, speaking at the British Association meeting at Cardiff, prophesied a great industrial and commercial slump. He expressed the opinion that America would suffer more than Britain. The slump was more certain in America because her position bears most resemblance to England's in 1815-17. He dwelt on the effects of America's changing from a debtor country before the war to a creditor country now, also on the effects of trade with Fragce, a wine exporting country, as the result of the adoption of the "dry" policy.

LONDON August 25." Replying to the appeal of the sister of the Lord axe of Cork for the Jatter's release, Mr. Lloyd George telegraphed: "It is with profound regret that I hear of the pain inflicted on you by the determination of your brother to starve himself. It is impossible for the Government to make any execption in his case. Were they to do so it would break down the administration of the law in the United Kingdom, for all prisoners would

claim the same privilege."

ATTORNEY ACQUITTED.

SERIOUS CHARGES HET.

ALLEGED MALPRACTICE

DENIED.

The Philippines Attorney-General has recommended to the Supreme Courts the complete exoneration of Attorney Alison E. Gibbs, of the law finn of Gibbs, McDonough and Jöhn son. Mr. Gibbs had been charged with malpractice. After careful in- vestigation the Attorney-General con- cluded that the accusations were false.

One of the charges against Mr. Gibbs was that he deliberately de- layed the proceedings of a case he was handling in order to exploit his client. The findings of the Attorney- General are to the effect that the de- lay in the said case was caused by the inability of the client himself to entend to the case.

Another charge against Mr. Gibbs Was that he bought a parcel bi land which was in a litigation in which he was counsel. It was proven that the trect of land was bought after the litigation had been settled.
