Tugegario, Cayagan Province, p.
l., May 21.-(By the Associated
Press THE automobile of Major
General Wood, one OF the chief
members of the mission investi-
eating conditions in the Philippine
Islands at the request of President
Harding, fell into Pinacanauan
river, near the Cabaganen route,
here yesterday, while being ferried
across the stream. General Wood
escaped uninjured, but an hour was
required to pull the vehicle from
the water.
Twenty men, including General
Wood, tugged at the rope continu-
ally until the car was hoisted to
dry land. The mishap occurred
when the automobile slipped from
the ferry at the landing. At Caba-
gan, where the party. arrived soon
after the accident they were greet
ed BY the Filipino school SUPER
visor. In his address he said:
I'VE welcome the mission and
will gladly submit to its investiga-
tons. We are like the patient who
willingly places himself in the
hands Of the doctor. We have great
faith in the American congress, and
we think that every Filipino can
say:
"1 owe everything I have to
America.
Woods Reply.
General Wood in replying said:
Among the important and inter-
esting Investigations ~S are max
ing. those into the schools, the pub
lie works and the administration Of
justice are very important. The lat
ter, if, in a fair and impartial way
without reference to persons, is the
bulwark Of any people. The Ameri-
can people want to know the Phil
ippines and their conditions. W
Cameron Forbes and myself came
to make an impartial report oi
things as We find them. The hos
pitality Of the people has been mag
nifieent, all Of the officials from
Acting Governor Yeater down have
been most considerate in their ef.
forts to aid our investigation in
every possible way"
General Wood spent the night
here, the capital of the province
Local people did not refer to indie
pendence, but said they were con
fident that the missions report
would be fair. This morning Gen.
eral Wood inspected government
buildings and schools prior to de-
parting for Alcala and Aparri.

er shot by the Bolsheviki, was united
to the son of the American "tinplate
king" Everything her family stood
for was past history and ancient ira
dition, while he represented modern
times an the practical progress Of the
future.
t. The wedding consisted of two reli-
gious celebrations The first was held
in the American Church of the Holy
Trinity and the second in the Russian
church.
