GEN. WOOD TO
STUDY PHILIPPINES
Plan to Make Him Governor
General Altered by
-l President
SECRETARY WEEKS
ANNOUNCES CHOICE

Idea Is to Have General Make a Tho
rough Study Of Conditions in Islands
With Consideration OF Independence
Aspirations.
WASHINGTON, March S.-Mai. Gen.
Leonard Wood has been detailed at the
request of President Harding to 90 to the
Philippine Islands and make a study of
conditions there in the light Of Philippine
aspirations for independence.
The mission was formally entrusted to
General Wood at a conference yesterday
before him and the President, at which
Secretary Weeks of the war department
was present. 1t was decided that such Il
plan would be preferable to Mr.. Hard
jug's original plan to make the general
governor Of the islands.
In making the original cffer of the
Philippine governorship to General Wood.
MIR. Harding is understood to have been
moved primarily by "a desire to obtain
full information about the details of Phil
ipIiiie conditions.
1t is believed that General Wood. him
self. made the suggestion that he could
conduct the inquiry more effectively by
retaining his rank in the army than by
leaving it 10 accept a civil appointment as
governor.
The decision was announced by @Sccre-
tary Of War Weeks. who issued this state
ment at the White House after leaving the
conference room:
The President is not unmindful of the
change of policy recommended by his
predecessor in dealing with the Philip
pines. He Is anxious to settle definitely
our policy and has asked General Wood,
because of the extended experience there.
to go to the islands and report conditions
aS he may find them"
1t was said that the time Of General
Woods departure and the length of his
stay in the islands had not been fixed
He now is in command Of the Sixth Corps
area with headquarters at Chicago. and
the expectation is that he will begin his
investigation as soon as transfer can be
arranged.
After Secretary Weeks had issued the
statement making known the Presidents
decision and had left the room, General
Wood remained in conference with Hard
ing for nearly half an hour. The general
said the offer from the University of
Pennsylvania to become its provost was
very tempting" but his action in the
matter was very much in the air" He
j added that he was leaving for Philadel-
/ phia to confer with George Wharton Pep
per. a trustee Of the University of Penn
sylyania.

4 TRADE MARK DECISION.
Legal Difference Exists Between Plain
and Registered Kinds.

WASHINGTON, March S.-A legal
difference between registered trade
mark" and a simple trade mark was
brought ont in the supreme court declsloh
recently in the suit of the Stark Brothers
Nurseries and Orchards Go. of Louisiana,
Mo. for damages against the Nllilam l.
Stark Nurseries of Stark City, Mo.
When the decision was handed down
If was announced that the Stark Brothers
Nurseries Go. had lost this suit. The
Statement was correct. but the inference
nlaced upon A brief report of the decision
was misleading. The Stark Brothers
Nurseries Co. had won in the United
States circuit court of appeals suit for
damages against the William l.. STARK
Nurseries and also an injunction restrain
ING the latter from using the family name
fan 4 trade mark This circuit court de-
cision limited the damages to begin from
the time when notice of registration of the
trade mark was served.
T-non this limitation only the Stark
BROTHERS Nurseries co. appealed to the
supreme court 1t was this appeal against
limiting the damages that the supreme
court denied. In its decision the supreme
court said:
an INFRINGEMENT of Il unregistered trade
mark. not infringement ct trade mark.
The court said that the plaintiff had
rights in the trade mark prior to the date
of its registration, but that those rights
were not involved under the statute under
which the appeal to the sapreme court
was made.
The Stark family nurseries was oper-
ated bv three brothers after the death of
their father. the founder, in 1880, until
1909. when the youngest brother, William
LIP. Stark. withdrew and formed the rival
company that was defendant in this suit.

the real deputy Babcock, he said,
knew the proper course OF proce-
dure with regard to papers coming
into the office for record, but divert
ed them from the usual course by
putting them in a drawer in Fur

Referring fto the charge OF con-
spiracy against William G. Cole, Mr..
Finger said the defense had attempt
ed to make a joke OF testimony that
the elder Cole, while supposed to be
deputy recorder, actually did no
work. Whether or not it was a
joke" he said, lis a matter for dig
ference Of opinion. There is some
thing about the case that is not
laughable. For a man to take the
position of deputy recorder and then
come so brazenly before the court
and jury to tell you openly that he
did nothing is one of the worst OK
hibitiOns Of graft and one of the
reasons why people have to bear the

FIGHT ON FOR
LOWER RENTS
Union Park Gardens Ten
ants Appeal Forwarded
BY Council
WANT SHIPPING
BOARD MEN HERE

Action was taken by City Council,
in committee OF the whole, last night,
to obtain a reduction OF rents charg-
ed by the government for homes in
Union Park Gardens. BY unanimous
vote the clerk was instructed to COM
municate with the Delaware delega-
ton in Congress and urge that they
use their influence with the United
States Shipping Board to gain the re-
suit desired.
Councilman John ]. Murray
brought the matter before Council
when he pointed out that the resi-
dents OF the Gardens were still being
compelled to pay rents far in excess
OF those charged for like properties
in other sections.
These rents were excessive when
everything else was high, now they
are beyond all reason" Mr.. Murray
said. Every effort on part OF the
people of the Gardens to obtain a
reasonable reduction has met with
rebuff and / feel it is incumbent on
Council as the representatives Of
these people to ask for quick action
at Washington" Mr.. Murray added.
Council received communica-
tion from the United States Ship
ping Board relative to a settlement
Of the claim Of the board against the
city in connection with street paving
and sewage work in the Union Park
Gardens tract.
At the time the Gardens were laid
out, an agreement was made be-
tween the government through the
Shipping Board and the city that
the latter would reimburse the gov
ernment for the work within a pc
riod OF FIVE years. Although this
time has not expired. tbe board is
asking for a settlement. A previous
communication on the same matter
was received ana referred to the
City Solicitor.
A motion was adopted iastructing
the cle=,-- ~ the Shipping Board
to send a representative here to
confer with Council in reference to
the controversy.
