Leaders i'm Philippines
Oppose independence
Financial Conditions Preclude
Separate Rule as Yet, Wood
Forbes Mission Hears

CEBU, P. l., July IL (Delayed).-A
number of Filipinos prominent in bust
ness and politics in private interviews
told members of the Wood Forbes in
vestigating mission yesterday that
while they desired independence for
the Philippine Islands at some future
date, they believed the Philippines
were as yet unprepared to assume in
dependent government under the pre-
carious financial conditions existing.
Public speakers, on the contrary, gen
orally favored an immediate but pro-
tected independence.
At Dumaguete and Siquijor speakers
urged protected independence, and at
the latter town Democratic party
float in parade bore the inscription
Owe want independence, we are con-
fident we can correct faults of the
present administration"
In Negroes Province to-day only .one
speaker asked independence. The
others criticized the existing govern
ment. They complained that justice
was badly administered; that the price
OF sugar was low and that it was diff
icult to obtain titles to land. A
speaker at Sibulan asserted it was i'm
possible to obtain Justice in the courts
that elections were corruptly con
Quoted and that open gambling was
permitted by the police.
General Wood spent to-day on Boho
Island. Tomorrow he will visit the
west coast Of the Island of Leyte.

PARIS, July f5.-Myron T. Herrlck
the new American Amba ssador, wac
accorded a public and official reception
to-day seldom if ever equaied by
France in behalf of any other foreign
ambassador. Although the French
capital was sweltering under tropical
neat, both Premier BRAND and PrsSi>
dent Millerand remained for no other
reason than TO greet the ambassador
at the Foreign Office and the Elysee
Palace, tender official cognizance Of
his mission and receive his credentials
With all due respect to Hugh c. Wal
lace, Mr.. Herrick's predecessor. and
who was the ambassador here under
Woodrow Wilson's administration. the.
French view Ambassador Herrick as a
veritable apostle of Franco-Anleriean-
ism. whose mission will do more to
cement spiritual, If rot a material,
alliance of the two countries than any
other agency since the ill-fated mirage
Of the Wilson voyage.
Il has not been necessary for the
government to inspire the press, which
for the last two days has given promi-
nence to eulogies of Mr. Herrick and
his conduct at the outbreak of the wa
as proof of the frmest friendship
toward France. Scores of press trib-
utes are almost affectionate in their
terms.
The Intransigeant. commenting o.
the reception at the station, said:
France never forgets those chs
loves
The Temps devotes a lengthy
editorial to outlining the entire Edro-
pean situation, commenting that the
ambassador will have much to think
about besides the questions of the Pa
cifc and the proposed Washington dis
cussion.
La Liberte does not disguise the mas
terialistic Importance of Ambassador
Herrick's presence. "No other ambas-
sador would object to such recep-
tion," it says. but no other than Her
rick could bring such letters Of credit. :
1t is notable, says this paper, that
President Harding's invitation 10
France to come to Washington for the

pie, with such clear, sffectionate al

"These," continues La Liberte, ..are

duction. They speak enough of what is
to be his mission. A pacifc entente

versation.
The witness testified that some Of
the detectives had ordered Devxney
and Conkling from Albany.
"Whet was it they were doing in
Albany that didn't meet with your ap-

District Attorney Ok Albany County"
Were you there r.
! "No. Gegan and Brown, my repre-.
scntativee in Albany, told me. I also
caused a telegram to be sent from the
report of Gegan and Brown ordering
them to get out of Albany"
"Isn't it fact that TIE reason they
wanted them to get out of Albany was
because there were some rumors of
Scotch and rye whisky"
absolutely no. I don't know what
"You don't know what Scotch or rye
is?"
Yes, take drink once in while. y
The witness was then asked how
much money the association had spent
in connection with the Lusk bill. After
considerable fencing he admitted it
was in the neighborhood of $1,000. He
could not give any explanation as to
, how the $1,000 was spent beyond one
item of $S5, which he put in, and liv-
ing expenses for the detectives in AL
bany, which, according to his own
figures, would not exceed $3.50
He was directed to appear before the
connmi ssioner, together with Detective
Philip Hoerter, financial secretary of
the association. He was also directed
to bring all books and vouchers.
Devaney Contradicts Burns
The third witness yesterday was De-
tective Bernard j. Devaney, also de-
, noted to patrolman. He gave the lie
to part of Burns's testimony. Asked

S elf he heard, he replied:
II heard Burns and Shotwell have
SOME talk about the borrowing capacity
of tine organization, and after Mr.. Shot
we'll heard Burns they told him the as

Devansey insisted that he was not
present when Conkling alleges he
turned over the $4,000 to Kleist.

the bomb squad, and Detective Cor
uelius Brown of the Wall Street squad
AND others, who were aiding to get

Among the serious charges that

shocking condition into which the
schools have been permitted to de-
teriorate- is one to the effect that
adequate repairs have not been made
upon the school buildings during the
last four years. This charge was fully
substantiated by the report of repre-

in the report that Pre- sMent Prall re-
