GEN. WOOD ON STORIES OF THE

Secretary Taft has received two cable
grams from Gen. Leonard Wood at Manila
regarding the fight with the Moros last
week. The fsrst is dated yesterday. and is
as foliows.s
II more detailed Information concerning
the facts of the fight at Mount Dajo Ii de-
sired | suggest that Maj Hugh L. Scott be
called upon. He is thoroughly familiar
with the situation, having spent eight
months in the attempt to get these people
on the mountain without fighting.
The officer referred to was the governor
OF the Moro provinces and was criticised in
some of the first cables from Manila as
having caused the trouble by over-leniency
toward the Moros. He is now in this coun-
Try on leave of absence and has come to
Washington in answer to Secretary raft s
summons to afford information.
Sensational Stories Faxed.
The second cabegram was dated at Ma
Mia today. and reads as follows:
Sensational cables sent to the United
States relating to the Mount DaJo fight

Probable Veto of Court Bill.

Representative Garner of Texas taihea
to the President this morning about a court
bill i'll which he is Interested. Ny Garner
got through Congress a bill dividing the
federal district court of the San Antonio
and Ell Paso district into another dlVisiol
so as to hold court a Del Rio.
Aan Antonio and FL Paso are eco miles
apart, and persons living between the TWO
territories have to travel several hundred
miles to get to places where the courts are
held As Del Rio is between the two places,
it was thought best to shorten the distance
for attendance at courts. NO new judge
or other court machinery except a cierk
was provided for. The President referred
the bill to the Department of Justice, which
has recommended that the bill be disap-
proved as there Is no necessity for the
new court place 1t is regarded as prop
able that the President will follow this rec
concentration. There are large number OF
bills pending in Congress for new 1ndiclal
districts new divisions of present districts
and similar legislation. The Judiciary COM
mittee of the House has sat down on a
large part Of these measures and has re-
fused TO report many of them. Those that
have been reported and passed have not
met with cordial receptions at the Depart

the two Kansas congressman who did
not hike for the tall TIM Der but re-
