Governor Wood shook hands with Senate Leader Manuel Quezon and Speaker Roxas of the house and then read his 5,000 word message in a calm, even tone.

Governor Wood's message called for co-operation on the part of the legislature and recommended many reform measures. Immediately upon the exit of Governor Wood from the legislative hall, Quezon and Roxas, who are bitter anti-Wood leaders, presented a resolution reviewing and approving the resignation of the department secretaries and the consequent actions of the independence commission, including its demand for Governor Wood's recall. Senator Tirona, Democrat leader brought up the fact that Secretary of War Weeks, is understood to have cabled Governor Wood backing him up in every point and pointing out that the administration at Washington is apparently solidly behind Governor Wood. The Democrat leader declared careful study is needed before the resolution reiterating past action is adopted. As heated discussion threatened following his appeal, Quezon and Roxas called for an adjournment of the legislature until Wednesday morning and this was approved.

The cablegram complimented Governor Wood on his personal sacrifice and desire to serve the Filipino people, this informant said. It declared the controversy with the Filipino leaders is a legal one and that congress had vested all authority in the governor and given him supervision and control of all departments and bureaucracy, making these officials strictly responsible to the governor general and the legislature. The message assured Governor Wood his powers have never been misused or abused by him and states if the legislature enacted laws in violation of the organic act, these laws are null and void insofar as they encroach on the powers of the governor general. The cable added that the governor general's veto power applies to all laws, local or otherwise.

Thirteen states had a right to pass such a bill yet they declared their independence," he added. WOOD WILL TOUR U. S. WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Major General Leonard Wood will make a lecture tour of the United States, speaking against the independence of the Philippine Islands, if present plans which are being considered by high administration officials are carried (Continued on Page 2) ELKS CLUB CAFE—Open to the public. Catering to parties and banquets, Illustrating the early difficulties of the constitutional convention, Rice told a story of how James Gordon Bonnett, former proprietor of the New York Herald, sent a reporter to Ireland to find out what the Irish wanted in the way of government. The reporter got back, but no story appeared. So Gordon called him on the carpet and asked him to explain. Said the scribe: "The Irish don't know what they want and they are bound to have it." It had been a good deal the same with the constitutional convention, from which 16 members opted before proceedings were well started. Marshal was appointed by President John Adams, said Rice, and he became the greatest tower of strength since Washington. He made the supreme court the synonym of law and justice and his decisions built up the people's confidence in it. When Jefferson, who hated Marshall, became President, the latter didn't have such smooth going, but in spite of opposition Marshal established the right of Congress to regulate commerce between the individual states, the right of tax-free existence of federal banks in individual states, etc. The latter at first tried to tax bank notes, but the supreme court stopped that. Last week A. C. Case gave his autobiography and today Charles Eygabroad gave his. Eygabroad declared that as a youth he had been in doubt whether to become a lawyer or preacher. He had read Blackstone's Commentaries twice and the Bible three times. Finally he decided that he wasn't crooked enough to become a lawyer or good enough for a preacher, so he decided to become a farmer and politician. Next week Dave Jessurun will tell the story of his life. Reg. Taylor of the Plain Dealer, sang today, accompanied by Mrs. Taylor.

COUNTY MUST HAVE MORE FRONTAGE Wallace Urges Purchase of 1500 Feet Tidelands at Newport Harbor The county should have 1500 feet DAY PARADE Plan Biggest Parade Nov. 11 That Has Ever Been Held in Orange Co. The biggest parade of the four yet held by the American Legion in the County, with something doing throughout the day both before and after the procession, will mark this year's Armistice Day celebration in Orange. Plans for the fund drive, to be in charge of W. O. Hart, now are being worked out. Twenty-five hundred dollars will be sought. The Orange Post is confident that Governor Friend W. Richardson will accept the invitation to deliver the principal address of the day in the Plaza at 1:30 or later. The presence of distinguished members of the Legion on the platform also is likely. The parade, which will represent an historical pageant, a given episode in American history being assigned to each group, will be two or three miles long, it was declared today. Seventy-five per cent of the assignments already have been made by Major H. G. Upham, who is in charge of this feature of the program. Six naval bands will play, from San Pedro, San Diego, etc., and permission for their participation now is being sought from the Navy Department. Use of an infantry parade also is being sought. The County Boy Scouts are making preparations to help police the throng. The decorations will be notable. Eight hundred dollars will be spent, and West Chapman from the Plaza to Main, East Chapman from the Plaza to the city limits on Tustin avenue, North Glassell from the Plaza to the bridge will be beautifully adorned, with four streamers to a block. The City Council has appropriated $750 for decorations of the Plaza to be used in addition to the flags etc., already in the city's possession. After the Plaza exercises, with speech-making etc., there will be a ball game between the Orange High School and an outside team not yet announced. The grammar schools are planning a pageant on the lawn of the intermediate school also in the afternoon. A carnival vaudeville company will be on hand. Previous celebrations have taken place at Anaheim, Santa Ana and Fullerton, and, as an ex-Council commander said today, each celebration has made a better one possible. FRUIT CROPS DAMAGED BY WIND Orange county's fruit crops suffered considerable damage from the recent windstorm, losses to citrus fruit growers in certain section-ranging from 2 to 5 per cent of the bumper crop anticipated, while the apple crop at Costa Mesa was reduced from 30 to 50 per cent. Losses now are being checked up by growers. The former figures are those of A. A. Brock, county horticultural commissioner, and the latter those of a prominent banker, who owns an apple orchard. The apples were thrown from the trees upon the ground while still green. Oranges and lemons were not blown off so much as injured by attrition. Anaheim packing houses are not worried over the damage in this district. Some ripe fruit remaining on the trees was thrown down, but nearly all of this year's crop had been shipped, while the loss on the new crop was not significant. Compared with other windstorms, the first one of the season was mild.

The only difficulty is in regard to financing such a frontage and improving it after acquired. Lew Wallace of Newport Beach, who long has taken a leading part in the matter of harbor improvement, declared today in an interview. The county must be prepared not only to purchase the frontage, but put it into shape to get shipping, and both projects would be looked after with a bond issue. But the issue would have to be regulated by the revenue expected, and a considerable return would be required to pay interest and sinking fund charges. Wallace declared himself afraid that the county, if it obtained 1000 feet in addition to the 500 it already owns, would be unable properly to improve it, and so would hurt the development generally. Tidelands are what Wallace had in mind to purchase. At present, however, the county is getting an excellent tax return from frontage, which it does not own, said Wallace. Wallace wants more frontage, wants fully 1500 feet, but doesn't see how the county is clear to acquire it. Commenting on Los Angeles harbor, Wallace asserted that financially the harbor was a failure to the city, which had deprived itself of large revenues in taxes by putting or keeping out the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, etc. NEW SENSATION IN STOKES' HEARING NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—Charging that titian-haired Helen Elwood Stokes, pretty young wife of William Earl Dodge Stokes, 73-year-old millionaire, was known in New York's gay Bohemia of 1911 to 1917 as "Red Helen," Mrs. Annie Doe Ring, mother of Gladys Dale, one time soubrette with Anna Held, came to the defense of the aged sportsman today in his fight to divorce his wife and obtain custody of their two children. 80-MILE GALE HITS OREGON COASTLINE PORTLAND, Oct. 16—Wind, attaining a velocity of 80 miles an hour, lashed the coast off North Head lighthouse late last night, according to word received by the U.S. weather bureau here today.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.—Their feet re-echoling the paths they trod in no man's land in 1917 and their voices again raised in cries of battle and the tunes of the trenches, more than 60,000 world war veterans marched here this morning in a gigantic military parade, which marked the second day of the fifth American Legion convention. Twenty thousand sea warriors—sailors of the Pacific fleet at anchor in San Francisco bay—joined the legionnaires in the parade with hundreds of delegates of the Legion Auxiliary and various war workers organizations.
