FEDERAL RULING
ASKED To CLEAR
PHILIPPINE TANCLE

MANILA, July 18.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-It is conceded gen.
orally here today that a ruling must
come from Washington in the con-
troversy which developed over Gov
ernor General Leonard Woods rein
statement of Ray Conley, secret serv-
ice agent, cleared of charges of brib-
cry, and which became a government
al crisis yesterday when the mem
bers of the cabinet and members Of
the council of state, all Filipinos, all
resigned.
Manila itself is quiet, on the face,
but under currents or excitement to-
day are following in the wake of
yesterdays events.
1nsular administrative affairs were
wholly in the hands of Governor
General Leonard Wood and his
American appointive assistants. He
and his American aides must assume
the whole burden of government un-
til successors can be found for the
resigned officials. So far Governor
Wood has not officially Indicated
how he will meet the situation.
Yesterdays designations followed
all-night and all-day sessions Of
members of the various Filipino po-
litical groups, of the council of
state and of the legislative ouncil
at the COVER Or generals official
residence, Malananan palace. Led
by Manuel QueZon, president of the
senate, the officials marched into the
office of the governor general and
rendered their designations in con-
nection with which they read a state
m mt giving their reasons. The Off
Gals said they resigned jointly as
members of the council of state and
individually as department heads.
The reasons given for the resigna-
ton consisted Of objecting to what
the officials characterized as the gov
ernOr generals policy and desire to
intervene and control, even to the
smallest details, "our governme
both insular and local, in utter dis
regard of the authority and respon-
sibility of the department heads and
other officials concerned" and which
policy recently eliminated in an

The house of representatives pass
ed the StOvalI bill repeating the tax
equalization act Wednesday after
noon. The vote was 121 to ~. The
measure now goes to the senate for
consideration.
The house shortly before / o'clock
| Wednesday began voting on house
| bill No. l to repeal the taxequaliza-
ton law after the repealists had
abandoned fiilibuster tactics which
were started earlier in the session.
Unanimous consent to abandon the
rule giving each member three min
utes to explain his vote was objected
| to by several members, and, there
fore, it was expected taht the roll
call would require an hour or mroe.

nesday the members voted down a
! motion of Representative Covington
! of Colquitt county, for the previous
question On the repeal bill which had
gone over as unfinished business
from Tuesday. The house also voted
down motion of Representative
Howard of Stewart county, to table
the measure.
DeDaCe Resumed
The debate on the bill was then re.
sumed and it was participated in by
Representatives Stewart, who spoke
for the measure, and Representatives
Jones of Coweta, Langley of Floyd
and Howard Of Stewart, who were
against it.
AS the repealists had shown a
strength of only 80 votes on the two
motions, it was thought that they
would continue filibuster tactics, but
Representative Stovall, of Ebert
county, one of the authors of
the bill, sprang surprise by mov-
ing the previous question. His mo-
ton was carried and each side was
allotted 20 minutes for the final de-
bate on the measure.
Representative Elders. of Tatnall
county; Hyman, of WASHINGTON
county, and Rutherford, of Monroe
county, spoke in favor of the repeal
bill, while Representative Steele, of
DeKalb, and kempton, of Fulton
county, spoke against it.
Speaker Neil had all members
summoned from the senate chamber
and the corridors and the roll call
was begun shortly before 1 o'clock,
the regular hour for adjournment.
The repealists refused to adjourn
and insisted on completing the roll
call, claiming that they had in the
hall the necessary. 1O4 votes.
The. first, six men who voted cast
their ballots in favor of the meas
ure.
