ARMY CHIEF MAY
LOSE HIS POST
CONFERENCE APPROPRIATION
BILL LEGlsLATEs WOOD Il
OUT OF OFFICE

d Washington. d. c., May ~ The
army appropriation bill was reported
back to the senate and house today by
the conferees with anti-administration
amendments which would legislate
Major General Wood out of office as
chief of staff and would leave the 10.
cation of military posts to commits
sion Of retired army officers and two
members each Of the senate and house
committee on military affairs.
The amendment which would re-
move General Wood also would pre-
vent either Brigadier Generals Crozier
or Funston ever attaining the office OF
chief Of staff. No officer who has not
spent ten years in the line with troops
before becoming q brigadier would be
eligible. ~. y
Many army officers charge that the
fight between the line and the staff
which recently resulted in the retire
ment from the army Of Major General
Ainsworth is responsible for that pro.
vision.
Lieutenant Generals Young and
Mac Arthur, Major Generals Randall,
Lee and Humphrey, would be the re.
tired army officers on the proposed
commission which would report ia
congress by January / upon the loca'
ton and distribution OF army posts
and the proposed abandonment OF
many recommended by the war de-
partment.
The report was not acted on In
either house today A sharp conflict
over the amendments is expected. Sen.

DARROW TRIAL
DELAYED TODAY
CASE WILL NOT BE RESUMED
UNTIL AFTERNOON; IMPORT
.s. ANT RULING TO BE MADE

Los Angeles, Cal, May 27.-Minor
law suits and the usual Monday morn
ing session Of the lunacy commission
had precedence today over the trial
of Clarence S. Darrow, the Chicago
lawyer, for alleged jury bribery. The
case, in consequence, was not sched-
uled to be resumed until 1870 o'clock
this afternoon. George N. Lockwood,
the Grand Army man who began Sat
urday his story Of the alleged attempt
to bribe him as prospective juror In
the Mcnamara trial, was expected to
resume the stand for the completing OF
his direct examination probably after
a. ruling BY Judge Hutton on the ad-
missibility Of evidence regarding other
instances Of alleged bribery in the Nc
Namara trial. Judge Hutton indicated
Saturday that he would decide today,
but it was expected that some time
will be consumed by the arguments or
counsel for both sides. 1t is not be-
lieved that the prosecution hopes to
connect Mr.. Darrow with the Lock
wood bribery through Lockwood him
self, as 1t is said to be the intention
Of the district attorney to present that
phase Of the case through Bert H.
Franklin, who is expected to follow
Lockwood on the stand.
The defense has promised a Cruel
ling cross examination for both Lock
wood and Franklin, particularly the
latter, who pleaded guilty to the in
dictment of bribing Lockwood and was
fined $4,000.

GOMEZ ASSURED
INTERVENTION
IS NOT PLANNED
President Notifies Cuban
President Naval Forces
are Sent to Cuba Only to
Protect Americans.

Washington, D. c., May 27.-Feeling
assured that President Gomez has
misunderstood the purpose of the
American government in dispatching
the large naval force now on it's way to
Key West, the state department after
having instructed American Minister
Beaupre at Havana to make plain TO
the Cuban government the purpose OF
the movement has now left to the dis
cretion of Col. Karmany, commanding
the marine forces, enroute on the
cruiser Prairie and due at Guantanamo
tomorrow, the extent to which the
marines shall be employed. 1t is be-
lieved that as soon as President
Gomez is made aware of the fact that
there Is no sinister purpose behind the
movements of the naval vessels and
that their commanders will do nothing
more than use their forces to prevent
injury to American lives and property,
he no longer will object. 1t is thorough
" appreciated here that the Cuban
president must assume rather resent
full attitude toward what might appear
to be an invasion of the island, lest
the patriotism of the Cubans be STIR
red to resistance.
Should he persist in his objections,
however, American naval commanders
will not remain Indifferent to the de-
mands Of Americans for protection
where it is clear that the Cuban gov
ernment cannot afford it. .'...r
dnojrol Oetorho,,c' foof which i Is
due at Key West will not move at
once into Cuban water unless some
thing should happen in the meantime
to demand it's presence there. The
signal for the disposition of the ships
among Cuban ports will await, It is
said, the discretion or American Min.
lister Beaupre at Havana. II, however,
destroyed telegraphic communication
hampers Mr.. Beaupre in getting infor-
nation as to events in the eastern end
Of the island, where the disturbances
are focused the state department Will
act independently of his suggestion.
The prospects of settlement OF the
Havana dock strike were reported to
be brighter today. ~-~.
Gomez Preparing Reply.
Havana, May 27.-President Gomez
has received the message from Presi-
dent Taft disclaiming the intent of
the United States to intervene. He
Immediately summaned a meeting Of
the cabinet to which he communicated
the text of the message expressing his
highest appreciation Of President
3Taft's attitude. President Gomez is
now engaged In preparing reply.
Havana Dock Strike Ended.
Havana, May 27.-The strike of the
lighternen and other laborers in the
port of Havana has terminated and to-
day all classes OF workers in the
harbor are actively engaged in their
duties. The settlement of the strike
was due entirely to the intervention Of
President J2se Gomez, who indicated
clearly to the strikers that they must
cease their agitation pending the
chisis through which the country is
passing.
The government has not received
any further news today from the pro-
vince Of Oriente, but continues strain
ing every nerve to rush reinforcements
