plunged directly into the examination.

by the board because of Fish's re-
peated deposits of the roads funds
with trust companies to pad the trust
companys statements and his disre-

IoF PRoPRlETY or RESEMBLING
ORDER OF GEN. WOOD PRoRlB-
ITlNG COCK FIGHTS.

Washington, Feb. 26,-Tt is expected
that Governor Magoon -will refer to
Secretary Taft the question that has
been raised by the Cuban people of the
propriety of resembling the order made
by General Leonard Wood when he
was military governor of Cuba, pro-
hibiting cock lighting in the island.
Secretary Taft had such an expert
ence as Governor Magoon is now un-
dergoing when the former was governor
of the Philippines and although he
was able to prevent cock lighting in
Manila, so deeply seated was the love
of this sport that he was obliged to
refrain from interfering with this an
cient institution outside of the capital.
Hence every holiday saw pilgrimages
of citizens into the suburban towns TO
enjoy the sport. 1t is said that Gov
ernor Magoon may decide TO follow
Secretary Taft's example in this mat
ter.
