MANILA, p. l.. July Ex-Governor
General Leonard Wood returned to
Manila today from the province of
Samar, where he made an inspection
of health conditions.
Gov Wood told the Associated
Press he found conditions excellent.
The situation is quiet and the health
service good, he said. The governor
general said that In fact he found
conditions normal throughout the

ippine resident commissioner.
Condemns Resignation.
Gov. MontinoIa of Iloilo, president
of the democratic party. arrived here
today and formally accepted the res
ignation of Juan Sumulong, vice
president of that organization. Su-
mulong'S resignation came as an art
.rmath of the recent upheaval In
philippine politics during which CAB
met members, members of the coun-
i'll of state legislative heads and
the mayor of Manila resigned as a
result of what the resigning officials
charged was Gov. Gen. Leonard
Woods autocratic methods OF insular
administration.
In accepting Sumulongs resigna-
tiun, Gov. Montinola said:
The democratas should be cautious
in this matter-the matter of oppos-
ing the governor generals lncau-
1ious tactics favor the coalitionists
The differences between the governor
general and the cabinet could have
been settled If the leaders opposing
The governor general had put the
matter before the attorney for an
opinion.
The governor generals allegation
that there has been preconcerted ac-
tion among the cabinet members and
the members of the council OF state
To challenge the governor general S
authority appears to be well ground
cd and if it is true that the resigna-
lions were not based on previous pro-
tests. but solely on the strength OF
,the reinstatement of a Manila ponce
officer, then it confirms my opinion
and the opinions of others. that the
leaders used this means of creating
sensation and of influencing the
public mind in favor of the coalition
lists.
IF the leaders did not desire to
create a sensation, why did they not
open negotiations with Governor Gen
, cral Wood when they first learned of
: his intention to reinstate Ray Conley,
the Manila secret service man and po-
lice official, after he had been alb
solved of blame in court?
Both Quezon and Osmena saw
themselves slipping down in the pub
lies estimation and provoked this sit
uation as a means of making the pub
lie react favorably to them"

Hartland Grange Has Play

The comedy 1.-THE Dutch Detective
was given at Hartland Opera House,
Friday evening, March. 30, under the
auspices OF Hartland Grange. Near
ly every seat was taken and the au-
dience was kept in an uproar from
the rise of the curtain in the first act
to the close of the last. Harry Dore
as the Dutch Detective, Otto Smultz"
made a big hit in mistaking all the
cast as the escaped lunatics, except
the real ones, while Fred Haseltine
as "Jabo Grabb, the police force of
Splinterville' being disappointed in
"Araminty Sourdrops, the lalla palu-
sa" Mary Haseltine whom he had not
seen in eighteen years, finally married
the queen of the lunch room, AM
brosia McCarty' who would rather
chew gum and read novels, than wait
on clstomber. This character was i'm
personated by Bertha Haseltine.
Dick Libby as Major Hannibal
Howler, the lederly gentleman with
a bad temper in pursuit of the vii
liam "Augustus Coo Frederick Wright
who has eoped with the Majors
daughter, Gladys IIowler" Marjorie
Young, is at last consoled by his child
hood sweetheart "Araminty" whom he
married in the last act She persuad-
ed him to forgive the eioping couple
which he agrees to do provided they
don't live with him. Leta Libby as
"Katura Kraut" pursued the police
force, who in turn was pursuing her
"leetle Otto" into the audience. After
a wild run they again appeared on
the stage and in the struggle which
ensued, she pulled Jabo's coat tails off
and fell over backwards. The real
lunatics "Plunk Jarleck" played by
Vera Haseltine and "Hortensy Smat-
ters" by Irene Tibbets in Indian dis
guse and fourishing revolver and
cheese knife made all the cast do the
snake dance. bribed the detective, tied
up Augustus Coo, and finally escaped.
1t was certainly clever bit of
acting and the large audience was
much pleased. Nearly $4,000 was
realized which will go toward paying
for the new piano. Music was fur
nished between the acts and for the
dance afterward by the Academy Boys
Orchestra.
