GEN. WOODS STATEMENT
ON PHILIPPINES PLEASES
Commissioners Express Gratifica-
tion Over Cablegram Sent to
Secretary. Of War Weeks. :


Commissioners De veyra and Cab
aldon from the Philippines today ex-
pressed their qualification over the
cablegram of Gov. Gen. Leonard
wood to the Secretary OF War re-
ported in The Star yesterday.
The cabIegram denies the truth OF
Chamber of Commerce at Manila to
the effect that further investment Of
American capital in the islands was
undesirable until their political status
is fixed as a territory of the United
States" Gen. Wood stated in his ca
hlegram that Investments In the ts-
lands are: secure and will be protect
ed, that conditions Of public order are
excellent throughout The islands. and
that there is keen desire for Invest
ment Of foreign capital"
I'VE were delighted to see Gov. Gen.
Wood belying the American Chamber
Of Commerce." and the joint state
ment of the resident commissioners.
THE American people are being fed
up Just now with fabricated stories
of chaos. ruin and deterioration in
Philippine affairs Magazines and
newspapers. as II In unison, carry
half truths about present conditions
in the islands. Such fiat sdenials by
Gov. Gen. Wood will. we are confident.
place things in their PROPER light in
this country.
ut is unfortunate that the Amer
leans in the islands. unlike those Of
the homeland. are loathe to do busi-
ness on an equal footing with the rest
Of the foreign merchants.there. They
seem to desire all sorts of prefer
ences which it would be impolitic for
any government to provide. If they
will only stop nagging the Filipinos
and their campaign for independence,
good will and harmony will surely be
the result"

I3GENTSPERM|[E
|. RAIL FARE URGED
Advocated as Maximum Pas
senger Rate Before Sen
ate Committee.

Restoration of cents per mile as
the maximum passenger rate on rail-
roads was advocated today before
the Senate interstate commerce COM
mittee by John E. Benton. counsel
for the National Association of Rail-
way and Utilities Commissioners. who
resumed his testimony on the Capper
bill to repeal the so-called rate guar
anty of the transportation act.
Increase Hindered Travel.
Passenger traffic dried up when
rates were Increased" said Mr.. Ben
ton. Three cents is about as high
as permits maximum dow of traffic.
That will enable a man to take his
wife and family when he travels. The
high rates are hurting the carriers,
they nave driven traffic away"
Arguing for restoration to state
commissions Of their intrastate reg
ulative powers, Mr.. Benton said that
In 1920 state commissions generally
within two months, granted volun-
tarily rate increases asked by the
carriers and recommended by the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
Claim Refuted.
This refutes the claim that it was
necessary for the federal government
to step into the states and take away
their jurisdiction" said Mr.. Benton
Then there was no occasion for the
federal commission to stretch its
power to oust the states from their
power of local self government" he
said.

old smile upon his lips. DIR. Harvey
W. Wiley told members of the AS
sociation of. Official Agricultural
Chemists of which organization he Is
honorary president, that his Oldest
son has learned but three things in
four years, and one of those was wrong.
DIR. Wiley persuaded his surgeon,
who was to have operated today for
the removal Of cataracts from his
eyes. that he must not disappoint the
agricultural chemists, in session at
the Washington Hotel.
:: How many ounces in pound"
was the first question l asked my boy"
declared DR.. Wiley.
Twelve ounces he replied. You
see, he will be a chemist. Then he
answered correctly as to the number
feet in a yard.
But when I asked him, What is
the metric system, my SON? he an
swered: Something that falls out Of
the sky"
DR.. Wiley then strongly advocated
the metric system for universal uses
throughout the United States. declar-
ing that children and their elders
spend Il lifetime attempting to learn
the present systems of weights and
measures, usually with no better sue
cess than his small boy.
The former head of the bureau Of
chemistry took fling at the ruling
of the Secretary Of the Treasury in
regard to beer and wine prescrip-
tions. saying that now a homeopathic
physician may prescribe in two-and-
a-half gallon doses. which is going
some for homeopath."

DR.. Wiley warned DR.. W. +. Hand of
Mississippi, who had just presented
his annual address. on the subject of
chlorophil in plants, that "chlorophil
is now going to run the whole
gamut," and that as soon as the con-
tents of DR.. Hands paper becomes
public there will appear 'chlorophil
soap and chlorophil tooth paste. and
all the rest"
DR.. wiley paid tribute to Nine.
Curie. the noted scientist, stating that
in his opinion she was the real dis
coverer of radium, since 'radium Is
so like a woman that / don't believe
any man could ever have discovered
it, Radium is distinctly feminine"
continued DR.. Wiley. Swapping its
fingers at gravity"

drugs and methods Of analysis Is being
