minishing Revenues
Of Philippines.

MANILA. March flowing to
the critical condition Of Philippine
finances, Gov. Leonard Wood has
vetoed sixteen OF eighty-three bills
passed by the legislature at the last
session. Most Of the vetoed meas
ures affected the revenues and
would hate diminished the govern

S9. 900 .OO0) payable during the next
nine years for the development of
the University of the Philippines.
The veto was practically never used
during the regime Of former Gov.

either signing or vetoing all bills
passed by the legislature instead of
permitting many measures to be-
come law without signature.

Blanca Errazuriz Vergera was a Chilean, living at home with her own people, when, at the age of sixteen, she met handsome, talented John Longer de Saulles, the famous Yale ex-football player, who had gone to Chile to pro- mote certain enterprises for the com pany which built the trans-Andean railroad.
 The athletic young American immedi- ately fell in love with the beautiful. much petted and indulged niece of a former President of Chile. A year later, when Blanca went to Paris. John de Saulles followed her there and mar ried her.
 Loving him as only girl of her type can love, she looked forward to life of uninterrupted happiness. When. her little son was born she felt sure her cup of bliss was so full that it was im- possible to think that it should ever be even partly emptied.
 She was soon undeceived by the dis covery of facts which turned her wifely love into bitter jealousy and hatred. Women of her hot Spanish blood will brook no rivals, and as she uncovered more and more of the unpleasant details of her husbands gay career along Broadway she found she had not one but many to share the heart where she had thought she reigned alone.
 When she realized that there was no

doubt about her husbands numerous ;n- facilities. all the affection she had lav- lshed on him was turned back and con centrated on the only creature in this strange America she could now call her very own-,her little boy.
 Yet when she secured her divorce from the man who treated her love as thing to be lightly bartered for the fickle kisses of Broadway show girls and dancers the court allowed her to have her child for only three-quarters of each year. It is easy to see what blow this must have been to her and how the breeding over what seemed to her the injustice of this arrangement wrought her to the frenzy that finally ended in her husbands murder.
 Blanca de Saulles, in addition to be- ing heartbroken over the sordid sbatter- ing of her love dream, was homesick. She longed for her own land, her own peo- pie. But she would not go home and leave behind that which was dearer to her than the beating of her own warm heart
 She asked so little of life now-only her girlhood's home and the chance to bring up her child there amid the scenes and friends she loved. But the man who had blasted her happiness would not permit this. He would allow her to live apart from him, but she must not have her child for her very own, and she

determination to make one last desperate attempt to make the father of her child see the matter as she saw it. Surely, if she got out of his way, if she never an- noyed him any more, he would give her hack her son. She had dwelt so long on the matter that her wish had become almost belief. If this were destroyed her heart must inevitably break
 On that memorable evening when she notored from her cottage at .Roslyn, l.. l., to the house at Westbury where her husband and the boy were, she doubt less was repeating over and over again to herself the arguments she would use to gain possession of the child.
 Then came the interview between hus- band and wife-first her fearful request, then her sobbing prayers. Through all ~of them the face of John de Saulles re- mained> set and stern; his heart was hardened against her. The child was his. he coldly reminded her, and he intended keeping him every hour the court al- lowed him to.
 He turned away to enter the house. leaving the woman standing outside in the dark, her last hope crushed, the hor- TOT of great and lonely blackness clos ing in upon her. All the motherhood in her, all her baffied love, all her sense of justice, sprang to arms, infamed by the hot blsod of an excitable ancestry. Rage took the place of grief as she real ized that the man who faced her was the one obstacle between her and her home and her child.

took him on hunting and fishing expe- ditions; helped him operate his wireless telegraph station. The fact that there seemed no hope whatever of the older mans every marrying the widow appar- ently made no difference with his friend- ship for her son.
 Then one day Senor Wilson received tempting offer to engage in business in New York. He would never have thought of accepting it had it not been : for the wounds his heart had received through Bianca's Vergefa's persistent refusal to marry him. Perhaps, he thought, this opportunity in a strange land would kalp him forget his disap- pointment.
 When the boy heard what Senor Will son was contemplating he was simply heart broken. He hurried to his mother and told her how he could not bear the thought of parting from his friend and of how much he wished he might have him as stepfather.
 Blanca Vergera, strangely moved by her sons grief, at once saw Senor Wilson in an entirely new light. She lost no tina in summoning him and the next day their engagement was announced.
 And this is how the former Mrs. de Saulles let her overpowering mother love guide her in the choice of second hus- band, just as it had done in ridding her of her first one when he stood in the way of all she held dearest.

 Her finger found the trigger and K the shots went straight home The man who had shown her heaven E and then thrust her into hell lay dying at her feet in a warm crim- son pool. He would never take her child from her again-probably that was the thought that was upper most in her throbbing brain as she stood gazing at the ghastly work of her hand.
 There were some who thought Blanca de Saulles a wicked murderess and one who should receive the full penalty of the law. But probably an overwhelm- ing majority of those who reviewed her case felt that Chat she had done was only the natural result of tremendous outburst of the greatest of all passions, mother love, and that, therefore, the law should forgive her.
 f'hCii Sitc was uIdily ScL Tree she aS- sumed her maiden name and went at once to Chile, there to make her home and to rear her son to be such a fine type of chivalrous gentleman as her an- cestors had been
 year or so ago, when she cast aside her somber widows weeds and began to go about in society she was almost as much admired as she had been at the time of her original debut. She began to be courted assiduously.
 The former Mrs. de Saulles did noth- ing to encourage these attentions, and whenever they reached the point where some mans heart was laid at her feet she was always positive in declaring that she would never forsake her widowhood.
 These rebuffs eventually discouraged all her suitors except one, Senor Ferdinando Wilson, the man she has now married. Senor Wilson kept on wooing her with what, until recently, seemed hopeless persistence, because he was so tremen- dously in love with the beautiful widow and because the warm friendship which had grown up between him and 1er son made him almost one of the family.
 The man and-the boy were inseparable companions. Senor Wilson taught the youngster how to box. row and swim:

Saulles is again married. To those who are at all familiar with the circumstances of her latest romance, this announcement
 brings fresh proof of how completely
 her destiny Is being ruled by the love
 and devotion she lavishes on her only
 son.
 It was because of her love for this boy that she shot and killed John L. de Saulles, the man who had fathered him and whom she had divorced. As every body will remember, this bloody deed brought her into the grim shadow of the electric chair
 When finally acquitted and set free she resumed her maiden name, Blanca Errazuriz Vergera, and returned with her little boy to her native Chile. She assured her friends both here and in South America that there would never be another romance for her-that all hope of finding happiness in love and marriage had been lost in the cruel dis illusionment which ended in her sending bullet after bullet into the body of John de Saulles. Her one interest in life. she said, was her son. On his upbringing she would center her every thought and would do her best to make him such man as she had confidently expected, in the rosy glow of her honeymoon days. that his father would prove
 Now, according to gossip which has long been current in Santiago and which IS just beginning to reach this country. the same boy, who four years ago was the innocent cause of driving his mother to murder, proves the means of opening her heart once more to the hap- piness of marriage.
 Although the former Mrs. de Saulles is believed to be deeply in love with the man she has marricd-Ferdinand Santa Cruz Wilson, very wealthy and dis tinguished young Chilean-her friends say that she would never have thought of renouncing her widowhood had it not been for the fact that her lit tie son is such an ardent admirer of Senor Wilson and has long been anx- ious to have him for a stepfather.
 When to the ardent love which Senor Wilson bore her and which she learned to have for him, there was add ed the weight of her sons preference and his best interests, this devoted mother could not throw herself too quickly into the arms of the man who had wooed her Iii the face of every discouragement.
 Tho fact that the former Mrs. de GaVv IIAa e- I-k4

And with all the romance and tragedy that lie behind her, this extraordinary beauty is still barely thirty years old.
