CABINET QUITS
IN PHILIPPINES
Strained Relations Between
General and His Ministry
Finally Reaches Crisis
CONGRESS MAY TAKE HAND
Political Upheaval Results From
Charges Against American Oetec-
tVe-ouezen Leading Party
to Reduce Executive Power.

Manila--Following almost contin.
uous conferences for IS hours at the
home OF Manuel QuezCn, president
of the senate and Filipino poli;.ca
leader, the Philippine cabinet. with
the exception OF Vice Governor Eu.
gene \. Gilmore, who is secretary
of public instruction. signed a dccu-
ment rendering their designations
which, was submitted TO Governor
General Leonard Wood.
This marks a crisis in the rela-
tionship between the governor gen
eral and native Filipinos in the gov
ment, which has been strained some
months, and presents a problem that
probably only Congress or the Presi-
dent Will be able to solve.
The designations came as the cu.-
minatiOn OF a quarrel between Sec
retary of the Interior Laurel and
GovernOr-GeneraI Leonard Wood.
Since Quezon controls the legisla.
ture that body is not expected TO CO.
operate with the governor-general.
Mayor Feduandez also resigned
Apparently Senator Quezon is tEe
moving spirit in the effort to shear
the governor-general of his power.
Governor Woods Offices had no
comment to make. 1t was under
stood an effort was being made %
patch up the differences existing
over the reinstatement Of OFFICER
Conley, American head Of the gamb-
ling squad. Conley was prosecuted
by Secretary OF the Interior Jose
Laurel on what was declared to have
been a frame up and when the
prosecution failed, Governor Wood
asked his reinstatement.
\ peculiar development is that the
same board which recommended Con-
ley's reinstatement now recommend-
ed his discharge Governor Wood
stated he was surprised over this
change Of attitude.

has it's locale in the vast kingdom
of Suleyman 6,423 years ago when
Kakresh-el is confined
for eternity in a huge brass bot
tie as a penalty for his treachery
to the state. The bottle is bought
at an auction by young American
architect in London. Scoffed at for
having purchased a newly made
modern antique" he hurls the
bottle across the room, breaks it's
seal and releases the spirit of the
genii which takes form, and in
gratitude agrees to make Horace
Ventimore's every wish come true.
The first wish is that he may be
permitted to marry the girl of his
choice, despite parental objection.
This Is only a starter for Kakresh
who performs a series Of miracles
that lend the picture the charm Of
a fascinating Arabian Nights en-
tertainment.
The principal roles are played by
Harry Myers, 1.-THE Connecticut
Yankee" Ernest Terrence, Char.
lotte Merriam, Aggie Herring,
Ford Sterling, Otis Harlan, Tully
Marshall, Clarissa Selwynne and

its under classes tied to misery
for centuries before 1914. 1t Is
on the basis of this social change
that the unusual and highly
romantic plot Of Merry Go
