Jail.
Mrs. Crawford was brought to the

Thomas yesterday. The officer was
called there by parties who informed
him that n well dressed strange woman
had come therc on last Friday. bought
at the Marnell store. and had since
that time been living alone In shack
in the vicinity.
When Sheriff Thomas reached Mar
nell and made himself known to tho
strange woman she entered into con-
vcrsaton with him and told OF her
travels. OF her relatives, OF her ob-
tects. but otherwise and on other
general subjects her mind seemed TO
be that OF child: II Is said.
She told Mr.. Thomas that she was
on her way from Los Angeles to
Kansas City to sell some property: at
Lc Junta she boarded the Denver in
stead OF tho Kansas City train. At
Denver she bought 4 ticket over tho
Santa Fe road for Kansas City. At
Pueblo she lef; the train and star.ed
out for a walk. and finally came 10
Marncli. sixteen miles due south OF
this city.
The stranger seemed not at all dis
comfortcd by being taken in charge by
sheriff. and takiug him into her confi-
dencc. told who she was and where
she came from and where she was so
ing: then asked his advice as to
whether he thought she ought to go
back to Los Angeles or on to Kansas
city. She gave her homc address As
100 West Forty-ninth street, Los
Angeles. and stated that her husband
could be found there. She seemed to
think everything was all right, except
she was in doubt which place shc
ought to make her next destination.
As soon as he reached tho city and
had Mrs. Crawford comfortably quar-
tered with the matron at the county
Jail, Mr.. Thomas wired Mr.. Crawford
about his wife's whereabouts and
asked for instructions.
Mrs. Crawford carried n small hand
bag and a pocket book: she also had
letter from a Kansas city bank show
ing she had sent some money there.

Washington, March 22.-Major Gem
eral Leonard Wood will retire from
active service in the army to become
the head of Pennsylvania university
after no returns from the Philippines
it was learned today at the war do
partment.
The general notified Secretary Weeks
yesterday that If he was nominated Tor
the university post, as he was last
night. he would desire to go on the
retired list as soon as he had COM
pleted his mission in the far east
The real reason for the Wood Forbes
mission to the Philippines and the
searching investigation of conditions
to be made in the islands is to de-
ternine whether the Fflipinos are
ready for independence. Secretary
Weeks said today. The missions re-
port, he said. will be made tho basis
for the Harding administrations Phil
ippine policy.
-'Former President Wilson WAS ap-
parertly convinced, Mr.. Weeks said.
that the F1lipinos were ready for
Independence and he urged congress to
grant their wishes. There seems to
he reason to doubt that the people
of the Philippines are ready for en-
tire independence. 1t is expected that
