FILIPINOS OPPOSED TO WOOD, NOT. U.S. (By Norbert Lyons) (Copyright, 1923 by International News Service) MANILA, July 25.—The fight being waged against Governor General Leonard Wood is a fight against Wood and not against the United States, Manuel Quezon, Philippine senate leader and head of the dominant political party, emphatically declared in an exclusive interview with International News Service today. "This is the most peaceful as well as the firmest protest made against any governor general since the gaming of William H. Taft as the first civil governor of the islands," Quezon declared in outlining the stand he and his associates have taken. "The encroachment of the governor general upon the presogatives of the legislature is as much a challenge to the sovereignty of the United States as encoachment of the legislature would be upon the executive and the judiciary. We contend the sovereignty of the United States is represented in the Philippines by the governor general as constituted by the law and therefore the legislature is as much a part of this sovereignty as the executive and the judiciary. "This cabinet's resignation is the culmination of a long and continuous fight to have the governor take the advice of his cabinet as his constitutional advisers in the government. Governor Wood has been surrounded by advisers of his own choosing, mostly army men without legal status as their positions are unprovided for by law and they are therefore unresponsible and unfamiliar with conditions in the country and the characteristics of the Filipino people and by their training unit to conduct the affairs of a civil governor." "There is nothing personal in this conflict, as Governor Wood is personally very highly regarded by the people here. It is purely a disagreement regarding policies and the conception the governor general has of his powers under the Jones law, the governor maintaining that regardless of laws properly enacted by the legislature and which have not been declared unconstitutional by the country's courts or repealed by congress." CHARGE MARRIAGE LICENSE AGE FALSE A complaint was prepared today against Georg W. Nills, charging him with making false affidavit of the age of Rose Meyers, when he procured a marriage license for himself and the girl on July 23 at the county clerk's office. Frank Meyers, the father, swore to the complaint. He declared that the girl was only 15, whereas Mills swore she was 18. The couple are from outside the county. LIGHT VOTING ON FULLERTON BONDS Forty-hine votes had been cast up unto about 3 o'clock today in the $115,000 school bond issue being voted on in Fullerton for the erection of a South Side grammar school building, it is announced. A larger vote is expected after working hours. It is said that insofar as has been learned there is no opposition to the bond issue. FISHER HALL TOO SMALL FOR MOOSE "We made a mistake in moving into Fisher's hall," said J. F. McCracken, popular Moose, this morning. "We should have hired a circus tent," he continued, telling of taking in another large class of candidates at this, the first meeting in the new hall. One gets the idea there were a good many Moose present. Several representative members of the Whittier lodge made a visit, among them the dictator, the vice dictator, the secretary and J. W. Roy, supervisor in charge of the Whittier membership campaign. An urgent invitation was issued to Mr. McCracken to address the Whittier lodge this evening on "Mooseheart." Action was taken to change the meeting night from Tuesday to Monday, and the change will be observed at the next meeting. Past Dictator A. H. Pape, a delegate to Mooseheart, III., convention, gave an excellent report of his trip. The lodge will be the honoree at a stag party to be staged in Long Beach Tuesday night, July 21, with the beach lodge as host. It was agreed that about 40 auto loads will attend. Cars will accommodate them. and the characteristics of the Filipino people and by their training suit to conduct the affairs of a civil governor. "There is nothing personal in this conflict, as Governor Wood is personally very highly regarded by the people here. It is purely a disagreement regarding policies and the conception the governor general has of his powers under the Jones law, the governor maintaining that regardless of laws properly enacted by the legislature and which have not been declared unconstitutional by the country’s courts or repealed by congress, he may disregard them if in opinion they in any way curtail the governor's powers. "We say that if the governor general has the right to decide himself what is law and when he shall abide by them is not government by law. We also maintain that if this present government was established for the purpose of giving the Filipinos an opportunity to demonstrate their capacity for self-government, the governor general should not try to run the government all himself but allow Filipinos to do it except so far as the administration of public affairs by them may interfere with the sovereignty of the United States. "In this fight against Governor Wood, no question of loyalty toward the United States is involved. The Filipinos in the past war showed by deed, not words, their loyalty toward the United States and their appreciation of the generous treatment they have received. This stand of the Filipinos is united as shown by the fact that I am receiving daily communication from the whole country approving the action we have taken and especially from the fact that the legislature, sitting as an independence commission have unanimously endorsed the stand taken by the state council and the secretaries of departments."

OPPOSES SPECIFIC DATE FOR PAYMENT PARIS, July 25.—Information reached the French foreign office today that Germany will make a new internal gold mark loan. PARIS, July 25.—Premier Poincare is opposed to any specific date for paying the French war debt to the United States even if it is put 10 or 15 years ahead. It was learned today from semi-official sources. The premier is willing to consider war debts and German reparations together and will consent to a reduction of German indemnity to 30,000,-000,000 gold marks if Great Britain and America will at once annul all debts owing to them by France. Otherwise (it is understood) he will insist upon the full claim of 122,000,-000,000 gold marks. France-Belgian diplomatic negotiations for the purpose of solidarity in replying to the British reparations note are continuing in diplomatic channels. There are two principal differences of opinion: 1. Belgium wishes to make concessions to the British viewpoint and discuss a reduction of the German debt. 2. Belgium is willing to have an international commission appointed to examine Germany’s capacity for payment. France is opposed to both these suggestions. So far France has stubbornly maintained in all negotiations with Brussels that the Paris government will not budge from the original demands (including 132,000,-000,000 gold marks indemnity) unless the treaty of Versailles is met by Germany. The French claim that the Ruhr and reparations problems are political, not economic.

TO FORM LOCAL A. O. U. W. BRANCH An Anaheim branch of the Ancient Order of United Workmen will be organized here about Aug. 10, according to E. T. Lisle of Los Angeles. State manager, and H. C. McMasters of Whittler, district manager, in Anaheim today. There are now nine lodges in So Cal., Anaheim making the tenth. The first in So Cal. was organized in Los Angeles about two years ago, and the ninth at Huntington Beach about two months ago. The order was first organized in 1868, and its methods, rates and policies redrafted in 1993 under the supervision of late experts. Its policies now are the same as the old-line companies, only along fraternal lines, eliminating a great deal of expense, according to Mr. Lisle . Mr. Lisle has been in the order for 17 years. Twenty-year policies are now carried, and sick and accident policies of 10, 15 and 20-year periods. Mr. Lisle says that the sick and accident policies do not terminate at 60, as in some of the old-line companies. Several prominent citizens of Anaheim have sought membership, and some want membership which they had elsewhere renewed. J. D. Lavin, who recently died at his home on Los Angeles-est, formerly was a recorder in the A. O. U. W. Among the men of national reputation in the order are: Ex-Governor Carroll of Iowa, who is chairman of the finance committee, and U. S. Senator Paul of Deleware who is one of the officers. W. M. Narvis of Muscatine, Iowa, grand master, who is planning a visit to the California lodges, is expected in Anaheim in December. MANILA RESOLVES AGAINST GEN. WOOD MANILA, July 25.—The Phine independence commission, lowing a stormy session, reached most unanimous agreement upon resolution declaring retention Governor General Leonard Wood governor general “constitutes grave detriment to public welfare.” One democrat cast a dissent vote. The resolution follows: “This action taken by the constitutional representatives of the Pino people confirming and ratifying the action of the state council secretaries of departments in sentencing their resignations as a last against the actions of Governor Wood and his attacks on the police liberties of the people, implying the determination of the Pino people to fight under the process law and self-government toward achievement of complete vindication of their trampled and violated liabilities.” “With the greatest confidence expect this vindication from the people and the government of the United States. Meanwhile wisdom counsel she necessary provisions of re-establishment of harmony in government, which has been broken by the governor general, be made The island’s progress will suffer inevitable paralysis if the organ public power as now are unable exercise their functions with close co-operation which obviates necessary breaks and promotes efficiency in public service.” Therefore the independence party considers its duty to state that time has arrived to call attention to the government of the United States to the fact that continuation of Governor Wood in the post presently cupped constitutes a grave detriment to public welfare and that mutual interests of the United States and the Philippines require his mediate independence, the post-governor general of the Philippines be accorded to Filipinos; not as new trial of the political capacity of the Filipino people which now been amply demonstrated but so difficult to assure in the meantime by means success of the administration of the Pino people.” COUNTY WARS ON MOTOR CAR THIEVES LOS ANGELES, July 25.—County officials again have taken up their war against automobile thieves.

HUSBAND AND WIFE "LOST" SINCE 1918 An aftermath of the World war came to attention by a visit of rMs. Pearl Fletcher to rMs. Lora Fels, of Cypress. Mrs. Fletcher and her husband, Amos Burr Fletcher, have been "lost" to each other since 1918 despite persistent efforts to "get-found." When Mr. Fletcher left Phoenix, Ariz., for an eastern camp, early in 1915, Mrs. Fletcher was a harpist of ability, but at once entered government service as a nurse. After close of the war, Mr. Fletcher returned to Phoenix hoping to meet his wife, with whom he had corresponded as frequently as possible during his absence, but she was not there, having left a few days before. Mrs. Fletcher has kept in touch with her husband's parents, but neither have they been able to find him. He was not injured during his service, but was slightly gassed. How Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher can fall to even find trace of either's whereabouts is a mystery, but she is hopeful and is leaving no effort unmade. She also has the hearty support of Mr. Fletcher's parents.
