"You made no complaint?"
Asked why he did not report
case to Lieutenant Morning of
mond, Fox said:
"That guy would shoot me;
wouldn't take any foolishness."
Fox gave Chairman Brandej*<
letter from Morning, written
Casper, Wyo., saying he was "
to hear about Major Opie."
Fox did not want all the 1
read, saying it contained "
rough stuff."
"I am used to ro\igh stuff ir

The letter quoted Morning as
ing he had heard the soldier was

From Morning's letter he bel
that Opie was justified," x said

Philadelphia, Jan. 10.?George
Wharton Pepper, widely known
Philadelphia lawyer, who was ap
pointed United States senator >by
Governor Sproul to succeed the late
Boies Penrose, wll be a candidate
for the entire Penrose term expir
ing in (March, 1927, he announced
today. The appointment holds good
until the November election. Mr.
Pepper, it is expected, will ibe a
candidate at the May primary for
.the nomination.
Mr. Pepper's announcement
coupled with a statement by the
governor that he expected Mr. Pep_
per to be a candidate for the com.
plete term, ended speculation as to
whether Mr. Sproul would himself
run for the office this year. The
governor's statement cane as a
surprise to some of^his friends. He
had the unprecedented opportunity
of having been twice in a position
to resign the govern ship to take
the senatorahip, first through thte
death of Senator Knox and by the
passing of Senator Penrose. It had
been expected in some quarters that
he would be a candidate for the1
senate and if elected take the seat
i
!
after his term of office expired next
January.
Washington, Jan. 9.?The ap
pointment.of George Wharton Pep_
per to be the new senator from
Pennsylvania succeeding the late
Senator Penrose is an excellent one,

BIRTH RATES GIVEN
Japanese Lead With Italians Second,
Chinese Third.
Washington, Dec. 22.?The birth
rate per 1,000 Japanese women in
the United States is 188.5. Italian
women follow with 160 per cent, and
Chinese are third with 116.6 per cent.
These figures of the census bureau
are regarded as interesting in view
of the fact that the birth rate per
1000 American born white women
is only 42. The rate for negro wom
en is 52.8.
The very high birth rate for Ital
ians and Japanese, the bureau ex
plains, is due to the abnormally large
proportion of the female population
between the ages of 15 and 44 years.
