OFFICIALS ANGRY
At FIGHT MADE
ON WOOD
IT'S SAID THE ADMINISTRATION Is
READY TO LAY BARE EVERY
ITEM or PUBLIC Ex-
PENpITURE.

WASHINGTON. d. c., June 21.-Administra-
ton circles are indignant at the attacks made
upOn General Leonard Wood for his expenditures
while Governor General Of Cuba There is not
an stem n the account from the day he took
command Of the Island until it was turned over
to the Cuban Republic that General Wood and
his superiors in Washington not prepared
to spread before the public
For some time a large force Of clerks has
been busy tabulating and getting in shape the
accounts 70 show to q penny just how the
money Of the islands was used to assist the Gu
bans.
Much capital has been made out Of the
ey paid TO General Gomez. At the close of the
Spanish war the American Congress made an
appropriation Of s, 900 900 out Of which the Of
hcers and men Of the Cuban Army Of Liberation
were TO be paid. General Gomez was the rep
resentative Of that army, which had been fight
ing for years against terrible odds, in rags and
without much encouragement and without pay.
in Cuba, Gomez is held in the same venera-
tion that Washington was held in the United
States az the close Of the Revolution While he
had the love Of the people, stiIl he was poor
and unable to provide the hospitality which
his position demanded Of him. This was recog-
niEed BY the American administration and sum
Of money was given him 10 meet pressing de-
msnds and an allowance was made him regu-
larry. He has received about 5000 n year or
$50 900 in all. This was not charity, but money
due the General for his services for free C1ba
and much less than many another man would
have taken II he had been in the same position
as General Gomez. Besides this, one Of the
frst acts Of the new Cuban government was to
grant a pension Of 5000 a year for life to
General Gomez. Therefore General Wood in his
treatment Of General Gomez has done Just what
the Cuban people themselves have done since.
Hence they must be satisfied and see the wis
dom Of the Generals course.

TERRELL MAY LEAD
IN POPULAR VOTE
BY $4,000
ALL THE RETURNS ARE NOT IN
YET BUT HE is FAR AHEAD OF
euERRY AND EsTILL
so FAR.

When the consolidated returns from the
recent primary of all the counties in Geor-
gia are received by Hon. Edward I.
Brown, chairman of the state Democratic
executive committee, they will show that
Hon. ]. NJ Terrell, who won out in the
race for governor by carrying the larg-
est number of counties. will be far in the
lead OF Dupont Query and J. II. Estin
in the popular vote.
Chairman Brown has not received re-
turns from all the counties. but those
which have been heard from show that
Mr.. Terrell is far ahead Of the other
candidates. Mr.. Brown has received the
returns from all but eighteen counties
and these he hopes to get in this week.
1t was claimed by some of the friends OF
the other candidates that Terrell would
not be more than 5000 votes in the lead
when the popular vote was consolidated,
but the returns already received show
that he has passed that number by many
thousand and it is now estimated that
Terrell has received 1900 more votes than
his other two opponents combined
Mr. Brown is very anxious to get in all
of the returns by next Saturday and says
he hopes the chairmen Of the committees
in the various counties viii make their
report as soon as possible.

PATTERSON POLICE
ARMED TO TEETH

PATERSON June 19.-Mayor Hinch-
cliffe took personal command of the po-
lice of this city today. He was much
displeased that the meeting of strikers
Tuesday night was not broken up. 1t
was at this meeting that the speeches
were made which IL is believed led to the
disorders of yesterday.
The mayor went to police headquarters
today and had all the men lined up in
front of him. Then he said:
Men, If your clubs prove useless you
know what to do. Be aggressive from
the start"
The reserves, who looked as If they
fully approved the command as to the
aggressiveness, were then dismissed to
await the call to action.
In addition to the regular police

All these men were Immediately armed
with revolvers and heavy night sticks.
Ten silk manufacturing firms opened
for work, this morning. These firms have
their plants in the Hope. Harmony and
Todd mills. Each employs about 25 men.
In each of these plants every employe
was armed today with a revolver. The
weapons were supplied by the mems en-
ployers with the approval of Mayor
Hinchcliffe. Before taking this step the
mayor had been consulted by the manu-
facturers and he expressed the opinion
that the employers were fully justified in
arming their men, and that it was a nee
essary precaution in view of yesterdays
riots. When the employees of the Pelgram
and Meyer mill on Matlock street reported
for work this morning every fourth man
was provided by the management with
a gun.
During the night shot guns. Winchesters
and revolvers, comprising a small but
formidable arsenal. were carried into the
mill. Accompanying the weapons were
30 rounds of ammunition for each piece.
With the arrival of the men workers,
the firearms were distributed and the
employees went armed to their looms. Not
one dye shop started up this morning, al
though several were opened.
Mayor Hinchcliffe announced today that
