Broadway Approves His De-

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Citizens
of Broadway, that world of tinsel

spotlight and where artificial dramas
are played out against a painted
back drop, are slowly recovering
today from the shock of a real life
denouement which puts to shame
the shadowy mummery Of the

hushed tones an event which has

Accustomed pose of blase sophisti-

He has never been devoutly re-

boyish exterior there is a thought

Fred Stone is regarded as one of
the wealthiest men in his profession,
his income being estimated at more

Hanihara Not Told to Reopen

81 Still Problem.
D. 1nternatlonal Sew. Service.

s TOKYO, Feb. 2S.-Count Uchida,
Minister OF Foreign Affairs. has
overshot his mark and has brought
the critical eyes of the Washington
state Department down on japan.
The Foreign Minister has just told
an interpolation in the House OF
Representatives that the newly APP
pointed Ambassador to Washington,
Masanao Hanihara, has been in
etructed to reopen the immigration
question because of the bearing the
Supreme Courts ruling in the
Ozawa case has on that subject.
This utterance was no more than
cabled to America than statements
OF the surprise of the State De-
partment came back.
Officials Disturbed.
Government officials became a
BIT perturbed then, and they freely
admitted that the Foreign Minister
had been indiscreet in his efforts
to satisfy his interpellator in the
Diet.
Their explanation seems to be
authentic. Mr.. Hanihara took from
Japan no concrete instructions on

hara during his residence in Wash.
tngton is going to have the job of
negotiating a new agreement with
the American Government which
viii replace the now long pigeon
holed Morris Shidehara agreement.
Japan thinks, however. that the
time is not opportune for advances
on the immigration problem, and.
IN fact, the Government may de-
eide to let the matter slide 1long
as it has the last two years in
hope Of obtaining a more Satisfac-
tory treaty two years hence, when,
II believes, the Democratic party,
which sponsored the Morris -Shile-
hara concessions, may be returned

presidential pand-vaTon, according
to information Coolidge headquar-

Watson, Il few weeks ago poten-

idea of running for the presidency,
but would not spurn the nomination
for vice president, some of his
friends say.

that Mr.. Coolidge was going to

talked plainly to administration
leaders here, including Mr.. Coolidge.

Cd that there is no need for some
conservative like himself to voun-
taer to save tn party from Lib

SONS OF GOV.
WOOD MAKES
BIG FORTUNE

NEW YORK, Dee. 2G.--In a little
more than one year, Lieut.. Osborne
Cutler Wood, son of Leonard Wood,
governor general t the Philippine
Islands, has made approximately
$SO0,000 in Wall Street, doing his
trading from Manila by cable.
This was revealed today in Il copy
righted Manila dispatch to the New
York Times which was confirmed
by the United Press from other
sources.
Lieutenant Wood, who is 26 years
of age and who is aide to his father,
made his first big winnings in the
fall of 1929 when he bought Stand
ard Oil of New jersey. The stock
earned 90 points, giving Wood the
capital with which to engage in
other ventures, which netted him
heavy profits.
There being no Wall Street mar
ket quotations available in Manila,
Lieutenant Wood made independent
arrangements there where the ne
cessary figures were transmitted to
the Philippines.
Lieutenant Wood was quoted in
the Times copyrighted dispatch as
saying that his transactions were in
American securities and had nothing
to do with the Philippines.
Now that he has made his for
tune, Lieutenant Wood intends to re-
sign his commission and enter the
diplomatic service. ..

BOXING IN N. Y.
FACES DANGER

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Retire-
ment of William Muldoon as chair
man of the New York Boxing com
mission, scheduled for January l, has
.urned national boxing interest to
New York.
For some unexplained reason the
hunch has spread that boxing Is in
grave danger for its life in New
York and that the sport will do or
die as result of Muldoon S retire
ment.
If the sport takes punch on the
nose from the legislature there are
reasons to believe that it will never
get another chance in New York
and if the sport passes out here it
will weaken the game all over the
country if it does not totally ruin It.
Muldoon s commission expires the
first of the year and he has made it
known that he does not care for
the reapointment. He wouldn It
get it if he wanted to continue in of
rice, not that he is not deserving
but because worth is secondary
factor when politics are concerned.
