The long-eNpected fight over the army
appropriation bill. which would legislate
Gen. Leonard Wood from his place as
chief OF staff of the United States Army.
took place yesterday afternoon in the
House. when the conference report on the
bill was adopted.
Although Chairman Hay Of the COM
mittee on military affairs. in charge of
the bill, endeavored to refrain from per-
sonalities, the conference report discus
sion had not proceeded far before the
storm broke on the question of Gen.
Wood. From then on ii was nip and
tuck between democrats and republicans.
Gen. Wood wass assailed and defended
extracts from his record, as well as per-
sonal correspondence from his friends
and enemies. We're produced, and finally

Denies 1t Is Personal Spite.

Representative Hay denied the allega-
ton OF personal legislation.
There was no personal spite about it,
he said. The legislation pertaining to
the qualifications of the chief of staff
was drawn up because those who had
charge of the bill thought it was right
and proper
The friends of Gen. Wood have drag
ged his name into the debate, but there
are two sides to the question of the ca
pacity and fitness and ability of Gen.
Wood. There are two sides 10 the queS-
tion of whether or not he is such
brave sold r in the face OF the enemy.
and upon that have here before me the
letter of an army officer who served in
the campaign in the Indian country which
states that Gen. Wood never saw a hos
tile Indian nor was within five miles OF
"A hostile bullet.
Representative Cooper of Wisconsin
took up the defense of Gen. Wood.
In all Of my public career" said Rep
resentative Cooper, Il know of no officer

scented has been Gen. Wood L was

but declared Senator du Pont repeatedly
had asserted he had severed his connec-
tion with the so-called powder trust"
upon entering public life.
Pershing's Name Brought In.
Representative Martin brought into the
debate the name of Brig. Gen. Pershing,
and referred to his rapid rise in the army.
