IN PHILIPPINES UNTIL
next JANUARY, BELIEF
(RN Associated PrassN

MANILA, P. l., May 8.-Goyernor
General Leonard Wood probably will
remain in the Philippine Islands until
the end of January, it is understood in
well-informed circles, although he has
not made formal announcement of the
time he will resign his governorship.
General Wood was given a years
leave of absence by the board of reg
ents, OF the University of Pennsyl-
Vania, where he had accepted the posi-
ton of Provost. This was to enable
MIN to undertake a term as governor
OF the Philippines as a public service.
Ihe understanding at that time was
ne should return to continental United
States IN time to assume duties as
president, at the opening of the uni
verslty year this autumn.
General Woods program for recon-
struction of insular governmental af-
fairs, especially the rehabilitation of
the government finances, is still nm
completed and it is said this work will
require probably eight months more.
General Wood departed last night on
a four days inspection trip in southern
Luzon.

H. P. DAWSON CARRIED
100000 INSURANCE
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, May SIT has become
known through one of the New York
leading insurance brokers that the
late Henry p. Dawson carried 100000
in life insurance. The policies are
spread over some twenty companies,
most of them being written in 1917.
Previously Mr.. Davison's insurance
did not exceed 100000, the broker
said
Many business men the other side
of forty develop high blood pressure,
he continued, but there was no sign
of such in Mr.. Dawson in 1917, when
the additional 100000 insurance was
written. The largest single policy was
for $300,000
The broker estimated that the pre-
miums paid in on the insurance
amounted to about $4,000 annually
l,and said that the estate was decidedly
Ithe gamer because of the compara-
lively small amount paid.
Mr.. Davison's funeral takes place
tomorrow.

LOVE FOR DAUGHTER
OF SENATOR CAUSING
PERSECUTION, CLAIM
(By Associated Press)

NEWARK, N. j., May Alexander
; E. Robertson, British war veteran,
was trying today to gather his evi-
dence that private detectives had at
tempted to drive him from the United
States because of his affection for the
daughter Of a United States senator.
This evidence, he said will be sub
mitted before the British embassy of
fIclals tomorrow when he will seek
the arrest of one of the men on a
charge of kidnapping.
He described how he had been
forced TO go TO Boston by the men
under threat of arrest on a charge of
stealing valuables from the British
American war veterans association
rooms and how he had returned to
bloomfield and caused the arrest of
one OF the detectives named Ellis at a
hotel here.
Anxious to Prosecute.
Police Recorder W. H. Rawson, of
bloomfield, before whom Robertson
appeared and secured the warrant on
the kidnapping charge, said that Rob
ertson had appeared very anxious TO
prosecute Ellis.
He didn't say anything about a
senator until after Ellis was arraigned
IN the court" said Judge Rf/fson.
The first | knew about such connec-
lions with the case was when Ellis
told some people at Bloomfield police
headquarters that a United States SEN
ator was behind him and that Robert
son and the senator's daughter were
friends"
Detective Sergeant J. J. Huddy, who
accompanied Robertson here and
went with him in the company of a
Newark detective to the hotel where
Ellis was arrested, described how Ellis
after his return in custody to Bloom
held, called up the secretary of the
senator in Washington.
Piled Not Guilty
After Ellis talked with this man in
washington, according to Huddy,
James R. Nugent, New Jerseys Demo
cratic leader, who is practicing law
mere, got in touch with Ellis, told him
10 plead not guilty. and give bail for
grand jury action. Court records show
mat Ellis did this and was held in
$4,000 bail which was furnished by
j. /. Rush of East Orange
Judge Rawson said that as the
grand jury was very busy it might be
several weeks before it could reach
case of this sort
Court recards show that Ellis gave
his address as Number 511 Sixteenth
street, S. E., Washington, D. c., and
his occupation as detective.
AT the British American War Vet
erans' association rooms in New York
1t was said that another man by the
same name was accused of thefts of
clothing and war medals, that Robert
son had appeared at the club and af-
ter being examined by the men whose
Valuahles were stolen was completely
eXonerated.

$4,000 FIRE LOSS
AT HARRIS -HARDMkN
PLANT EARLY TODAY

Fire, originating from a gasoline
torch which came in contact witt
pitch, did between $4,000 and s25, ,0OC
worth of damage to the Harris Hard
man Refrigerator company's plant
early today.
The three story brick building for
merly was No. s warehouse of the old
Gaar-Scott company's plant and stands
on the northeast corner of North Sixth
street, adjacent to the Pennsylvania
railroad line.
The fire quickly spread over the en-
tire lower floor and parts of the Sec
ond and third floors. The building,
which had been used as warehouse
for number of years. was in the pro-
cess of being converted into a modern
refrigerator plant
Building Insured
Two carloads of feed, located on the
third floor, and new machinery and
refrigerator work being installed on
the first floor were in the path of the
blaze. Howard Gaylor, one of the Off
Gals of the company, said he did not
believe the machinery was much dam
aged as it was new and had not been
uncrated. The building was insured
for $4,000.
The Palladium had 60 tons of news
print stored in the building The paper
was covered by insurance.
The blaze started at $40 o'clock.
Paul Newton, a workman in the en-
ploy of the Armstrong Cork company
of Cincinnati. was preparing for the
days work. He had lighted a gasoline
torch, which was to be used to heat
pitch in which slabs of cork were laid
as lining for refrigerators being in
stalled in the building
The flame of the torch lighted some
pitch nearby and from here the flames
spread over the floor to the front part
of the building, going up an opening
there to the second and third floors
Starts Near Elevator
The fire started near the elevator
shaft in the middle of the building, but
the fact that the elevator had been
stopped at the second floor the day
before, probably saved the building
from much more serious loss.
Woodwork on the entire lower floor
was badly scorched, but J. Ed Higgs.
building inspector, after a preliminary
survey, declared he did not believe
the main supports of the building had
been seriously injured.
George Hamilton, who had charge Of
the installation of the refrigerator
work in the building, was just coming
IN when the flames started. His son,
who was with him at the time, turned
in the alarm, and fire companies Nos. .
and 5 responded
Mr.. Gaylor stated that if the heavy
stringers of the building were in good
shape, they would resume operations
at once, as the beginning of their busy
season was just ahead.
The plant was nearing completion
and was one of the most modern in
this part of the country.

the defeat of Missouri's senior sena-
TOT to redeem the reputation" of the

1t was Mr.. Wilson's third letter on
the subject of the Democratic nom
NATION for United States senator

The letter was in reply to one by
Mr.. Stevens in which the former gov

Reed replied to this first letter in
which he questioned Mr.. Wilson's
memory The letter, under date of
April q to Mr.. Stevens follows:
My dear Governor Stevens:
Your letter of April % has gratified
me. | am glad to be sustained in nv
own judgment of Reed by your own
closer knowledge of him and | shall
nope and confidently expect to see
him repudiated by the Democrats at
the primaries. Certainly Missouri can
not afford to be represented by such
a marplot and it might check the en-
thusiasm of Democrats throughout
the country if their comrades in Mis-
souri, should not redeem the reputa-
ton OF their party by substituting for
Reed man of the true breed of
Democratic principles. l am sure your
own great influence will contribute to
the desired and expected redemption.
Please accept assurances of my
entire confidence in the Missouri
Democrats and believe me with best
wishes
Sincerely yours,
Signed Woodrow Wilson"

COOK COUNTY JAIL
, RIOTINC IS QUELLED
AFTER FOUR HOURS
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO. May S.-A fourhour riot
in the Cook county jail was quelled
early today when Wesley Westbrook
warden, and 80 guards removed the
rfngleaders from their cells, one at a
time, and whipped them.
Dfspleasure of the prisoners over a
change in the method of admitting
visitors lead to the outbreak.
The riot started on the fourth tier.
Flaming blankets were dropped to the
ground floor. Dense smoke almost
suffocated many inmates. With steel
strips torn from their hunks, the pris-
oners beat upon the bars of the cells,
the bedlam being heard for blocks.
Crowds gathered at the Jail entrance
and police were called to drive them
away.
Women HystericaI
The women's ward is just above the
fourth tier and close to the center of
the disturbance. Four babies, who
were locked up when their mothers
and two other women were committed
last Thursday on a contempt of court
sentence, became hysterical and Jail
physicians were called to quiet them.
One woman, about to become a moth
er, was reported to be suffering a Sc
we're nervous shock.
Warden Westbrook said that after
each of more than 900 prisoners had
a visitor on recent visiting day,
packages left mounted so high it re-
'quired the entire Jail force nearly all
night to sort them. "The result was
that guns. saws, files, drugs. and all
manner of contraband came into the
JAIL" he said.
The warden then decided to divide
the Jail into four sections and permit
only one-fourth of the prisoners to
have visitors at a time.

FARM TARIFF BLOC
STRENGTH WILL Be
TESTED IN SENATE
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, May S.-The first
test of strength of the Republican ag-
ricultural tariff bloc will come in the
senate on the issue of whether cyanide
is to remain on the free list The fin
ance committee has made this COM
modify dutiable in the chemical sched-
ule, now under consideration.
Senator Oddie, Republican, Nevada,
is leading the bloc's fight for free
cyanide, the only commodity on which
the bloc has insisted on free trade.
Republican senators of the so-called
manufacturers group, who are inter
ested in free raw materials, will
watch the result of the vote with un-
usual interest as it will disclose how
much strength the tariff bloc really
has and what they will have to reckon
with when the other items endorsed
by this organization come up for
action.
Expect Solid Support
In their effort to overturn the fl
nance committee on cyanide. leaders
OF the agricultural tariff group look
for almost solid support from the
Democrats. On the other hand COM
m1ttee members and other Republicans
not affiliated with the bloc count on
the Democrats to support them in the
other issues with the bloc as in each
instance a rate higher than that fixed
by the committee is demanded.
Debate on the cyanide schedule
broke suddenly in the senate last
week, with Senator Pittmann, Demo
crat, Nevada) launching the fight to
place 1t on the free list. He and Sen
ator Oddie laid particular stress upon
the use of this commodity in the min
ing of precious metals and dwelt al
length upon the serious condition of
the gold and silver mining industry.

TEN TSIN, May S.-GeneraI Wu
Pel-Fu, who came to Tien Tsin from
Peklng in pursuit of the Manchurian
general Chang Tso-Lin, was ordered
yesterday by the allied military com
manders here to leave the city, as his
presence was held to be in violation
OF the 1901 protocol. He refused to
leave on the ground that he was the
acting governor of Chilli province,
and would remain as long as neces-
sary for his purpose
The bridges between this city and
Taku, on the south side of the Hun
river estuary, were burned by the re-
treating members of Chang Tso-Lin's
army. Two thousand of Chang's sol
dlers were reported yesterday in Tang
ku, on the north side of the river.

convey them to Mukden were fruitless,
no locomotives being available. Ere
quent attempts at telephonic commu-
nlcation with Tangku, last night were

Connections Severed
Should WI accede to the allied de-
mands to leave, he would have to
move back toward Peking, as ran
communication to the east and north
has been severed by the burning of
the bridges, and a Japanese destroyer
is preventing the dispatch of his
forces down the river in barges.
The situation therefore is that while
Chang Tso-Lin had uninterrupted use
of the Mukden railway for two weeks
during his offensive operations, his
pursuer is now unable to use the road
to complete his victory.
