CABLES WOOD GAVE
Ex-CONVCT OFFICE
Quezon Tells Weeks Mayor
of Manila Served Year
for Abduction.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MANILA, August 21.-Politfcal
circles were Jared this afternoon
when Manuel Quezon. who recently
resigned as president of the Philip
pine senate because of his differences
with. the American executive admin
istraticn, announced he had cabled
the Secretary of War that Mayor
Rodriguez of Manila, lately appointed
to that post by Gov Gen. Leonard
Wood, was an ex-convict from Bilibid
prison.
The Herald issued an extra edition,
demanding .editoriaily that the gov
ernor general request Mayor Rod
riguez' resignation.
Quezon charged that Mayor Rod
riguez served one year for procuring
the abduction of a woman by a band
OF bandits. Rodriguez also was con-
victed. according to Quezon's cable,
Of being an accomplice to the murder
of j. P. Berry of the 9th United
States Infantry.
Cites Alleged Sentence.
In his message to the Secretary
of War. Quezon asserted that Rod
riguez was "a former inmate of Bill
bid penitentiary. Crime for which
Rodriguez was duly convicted and
sentenced to one year and fined 1000
pesos was, that of procuring the
forcible abduction of woman
against her will by a band of bandits.

June, 1900, to June, 1901. He twice
applied for a pardon, but both times
1t was denied"
The, cable. declared further that
Rodriguez was convicted of being an
accomplice to the murder of J. P.
Berry of the 27th United States Infan-
try. Rodriguez was alleged to have
led detachment of American troops
against a house in which he knew
bandits were concealed. Berry was
killed in the fight that followed, ac-
cording to the cablegram.
No mention was made of a PEN
atty having been inflicted in this case.
Although there had been a gradual
ly widening split between the legis-
lative leaders and Gov. Gen. Wood,
the immediate cause OF the resigna-
tions was the governor generals ac-
tion in reinstating a secret service
official who had been dismissed for
alleged bribery but later exonerated.
The cabinet members In resigning
charged the governor general with
seeking "to intervene and control,
even to the smallest details. our gov
ernment, both insular and local, in
utter disregard of the authority and
responsibility of the department
heads and other officials concerned"
Gov. Gen. Wood denied there was
any basis for such charges and ac-

officials and asked for full details.
Postmaster Mooney then told the
supervisors to tell Ythe objecting
employees that they were at full
liberty to refrain from having
their photographs taken, as that
fact was made plain in his original
announcement Saturday.
Sitting for the photographs Is
entirely optional with the en-

a mail clerk for taking money
from letters, both Of which occur
red last Saturday, seems to have
made some of the employees feel
that the photographs were being
secured for the purpose of detect
ing criminals.
Postmaster Mooney said today
that nothing could be further from
his thoughts in ordering the TAX
ing of the photographs AS a mat
ter of fact. his idea in securing the
photographs is to have a complete
record of his employees. both for
his own use, in becoming better
acquainted with the 1000 workers
under him, and in protecting the
employees themselves
supervisory officers took the
word back from the postmaster to
the employees who had objected,
telling them that there is no COM
pulsion whatever In regard to hav-
ing their photographs taken, and
that they are to feel perfectly free,
either to sit for the photographs,
which cost each employe r26 cents,
or not to sit, just as they feel
about the matter.--.. ..-,-. -,

Charges Effort Made to
lntimidate Him.
By the Associated Press.

CUMBERLAND COURTHOUSE, Au-
in the Garrett case this morning when
as court opened Acting Commemorative
Attorney Bonifant addressed the court
with the statement that effors had been
made to intimidate him.
Mr.. Bonifant told the court that after
adjournment of court yesterday he was
approached by j. L. u. Garrett, who
he said was no kin of the CARROTS on
trial, and who called him to one side
and began telling him some things
about the Garrett trial. Attorney H.
M. Smith, of the defense counsel, OBJ
jected to Mr.. Bonifant stating what
Garrett had told him and an argument
ensued.
After considerable talk in which no
little feeling was shown Is was decided
to have Garrett brought into court and
as to what he told Mr..
Bonifant and what he meant
Mr.. Bonifant insisted that one of
the city police be sent for Garrett
so that he would have no opportunity
to talk to any one before he got to
court.
Mr.. Smith then asked If he was to
that the Garrett trial had
reached a stage where the regular
officers Of the court could not be
trusted to even summon witness
from another county. r. Z. Byrd of
the prosecution promptly replied that

ended by Judge White, who directed
that arguments on the change of
vente proceed while the court awaited
the arrival of Mr.. Garrett.

heard in arguments when court re-
this morning, a half hour
earlier than usual. indications were

fore late in the day. Robert Garrett
stands jointly indicted with his
brother. Larkin C. Garrett. for first
degree murder in connection with the
shooting to death last June of the
Rev. T.. S. Pierce, Baptist minister.
The motion for a change of venue
was made yesterday for the third
time since the Garrett case was first
called more than three weeks ago and
was followed by the reading of up
ward or ZOU amudVitS IToin potn tne
and defense bearing
on the question Of whether fair and
unbiased trial could be- had in the
local county court. William NJ. Justis
was the only one of the seven attor-

and 1t is expected Ave OF
the others will be given opportunity
to argue today.
