GEN. LEONARD WOOD
TO BE LEG|SLATED
OUT OF HIS PLACE
Conferees Reach Agreement
on Bill to Gust Army
Chief.

Mat,-Gen. Leonard Wood, chief Of
stan of the army, will be leRisla ted out
OF onice with the final approval of the
conference report on the army appro-
priation bill. The Senate and House
conferees reached an agreement on the
Dill late yesterday and the provision
aime dat General Wood remains in,
II was learned several days ago that
the Senate was about to yield to the in
sistence of the House that no officer
shall hold the office of chief of staff
unless he has served not less than ten
years with troops prior to his appoint-
ment as brigadier general. Major Gem
eral Wood, who has a meteoric career
In the army and who was Jumped"
over the heads Of numerous officers
when placed In line for his present po-
sition. could not continue as chief OF
stan under the House provision.
As the House was forced to. Yield on
numerous reforms, the Senate finally
consented to the demands OF Congress-
man Hay and other House conferees,
that the section directed at the chief
or STAFF should remain in the bill Gem
eral Wood Is not mentioned by name,
but when the Senate and House finally
adopts the report Of their respective
conferees tSat action will be a request
to General Wood to step down and out
as the head OF the army,
The astcnsible position of the House
conferees was that the chief of staff
should know something from experience
OF the practical operations Of large
bodies Of troops. This was the argu-
ment used on the Senate conferees, but
II is well understood that under the
surface the Ainsworth controversy
played a part In the official undoing OF
the chief Of staff. Chairman Hay of
the Military Affairs Committee is a.
warm friend OF the deposed Adjutant
General Ainsworth and the WOODLANDS
worth controversy has caused consid-
erable feeling among House partisans
OF the two officers.
1t Is expected that the friends of
General Wood will oppose the odoption
of the army bill conference report when
II is called up in the House. but the
probabilities are that the report will
be adopted.

NEW YORK, May 25.-Amid forl;ed

Paul Peck, the Washington aviator,
broke the American endurance Hight

Peck's finish was probably the most

Wind Fifty Miles an Hour.
The wind blew at the rate Of fifty

the electric storm broke. In the vivid
illumination the fascinated spectators
beheld the little aircraft speeding
around at a height of 5000 feet. The
aeroplane seemed to be enveloped in
the lightning.
As 1t became apparent that Peck was
steering the craft earthward the men
rushed out to build fires by pouring oil
on the ground and they waved their
lanterns frantically. The beacons help
