GOVERNOR
NOW LESS
HARSH
Island Commission Says He Is
Scurrying to "cover Up"
His Tactics.
BY International News Service.

Gov. Gan. Leonard Wood Of
che Philippine Islands today was
charged by members of the Philip
pine independence Mission with
"backing down" from his former
autocratic administration in an
effort to avoid a Congressional
investigation.
Reversing His Dealings.
Members of the mission. headed
by Manuel Roxas, speaker of the
Philippine House of Representatives
declared that General Wood, fearing
the impending investigation, is re-
versing all of his previous policies
insofar as his dealings with the ma
i've government are concerned.
Two specific instances were cited.
On Monday, General Wood for the
1trst time consulted with members
OF his cabinet, on measures he de.
sired to recommend to the Philippine
legislature. Thursday, he gave the
secretaries of departments permis-
sion TO send their proposed bills to
the legislature direct instead of
SNoA SAAO CACCutANc as Has DGSu
the practice since the advent Of the
Wood administration.
General Wood has seen the
handwriting on the wall,'' Speaker
RoXas declared today. Nothing
can stop an investigation of his
9utocratic rule of the Philippines.
The resolutions now pending before
both houses of Congress-introduce
by Congressman Frear of Wiscon-
sin. and Senator Ladd of Nerth
Dakota--are going to bring about
an inquiry into the Wood admins
tration that will be a revelation to
the United States.
Warned To "COver Up"
II have been informed that Gen.
Oral Wood. has been advised of the
1nevitability Of an investigation and
told to cover up apparently my
information is accurate, for the
governor in his actions this week
has departed radically from his
previous procedure.
I'VE of the Philippine inde.
pendence mission, of course, are
extremity gratified over this new
turn of events" Roxas said. "Tt
may man a return to the Filipino
Of the autonomy he enjoyed prior
TO the Wood regime 1 do not,
however, believe that General Wood
will be able to convince Congress
at this late date that his hands are
0potless; neither do I think he will
be able to stop an investigation of
his administration"

COPS QUIZ
FENCES
IN THEFT
Fmgerprints Of Man and
Woman Found in Robbed
Porto Rico Shop.

Known "fences" were quizzed
today by Headquarters Detec-
tives Kelly and Scrivener in an
effort to find clue to the theft
of more than $4,000 worth of
imported silks and linens from
the Porto Rico Shop, Vermont
avenue and H street northwest,
yesterday
The result of these inquiries
has not yet been disclosed.
Finger Prints Found.
Following a close examination of
the finger prints found on the glass
panels of the store, Fred Sandberg.
fingerDrint expert, asserted today
he had segregated the prints of
man ~and a woman. The mans
prints, it was stated. were found
both on counter near to the wall.
where a hole was bored, and on one
of the tables in the store. Similar
discoveries were made in the wom-
ans case.
Sandberg declared he would look
through his files for the owners of
the prints. Should he be successful,
an arrest may be expected soon, it
was made known.
Detectives Scrivener and Kelly
said they did mot think the thieves
have disposed of the loot as yet.
1t is thought they may have hidden
it until a couple of months, at
least, will have elapsed.
Descriptions Sent Out.
Full descriptions of the stolen
goods has been given all second
hand dealers and clothing stores.
Detective offices in other cities
have been enlisted in the search.
After breaking into the real estate
office of J. J. hampton, the robbers
cut through partition dividing it
from the Porto Rico shop. From
this opening the loot was removed.

Washington police are today at
tempting to solve the intricacies
Of one of the strangest cases ever
brought before them for solution.
The case involves the grave, a
dual impersonation, a clever and
beautiful woman, and the heart
broken parents of a daughter
whom they had been led to believe
was dead, but who now seems to
be very much alive.
Was Uncertain Herself.
Is Mrs. Olga Cumberland" Miss
Helen Johnson, or are they separate
and distinct characters?
The young woman herself is said
TO have been unable to make UP her
mind as to who she is. One story
credited to her is that she claimed 20
he the best friend of the deceased
Miss Helen Johnson. Another is
hat she was with Miss johnson
When she died and that she took
The insurance money, posing as the
dead girl so as to spare Miss John
;ons parents the shock of the sad
news.

a ives Grant got picture back from
The st. Louis police-a picture Of
; he Mrs. Olga Cumberland or Miss
Helen Johnson. On the back of
le photograph was a notation,
Identified by Mr.. and Mrs. George
Johnson as their daughter" which
would seem to shatter the claim
shat Mrs. Cumberland was only a
friend of Miss Johnson and that the
latter was dead.
Is Out On Bail.
Mrs. Cumberland is now out on
bail on several charges of purchas-
ing goods on others accounts. She
formerly lived at 1915 Columbia
road northwest, and the police have
been unable to locate her since they
received the letter from the st.
Louis police.
Mrs. Cumberland told the police
when she was arrested that she was
not Miss Helen Johnson, despite

baggage addressed to Miss Johnson.
She told the police that Miss John.
son was dead and that she was
carrying on a correspondence with
the dead girls parents to save them
from the grief that would be theirs
if their daughter died.
The police have another version
of why she chose to use the name
Of Mrs. Olga Cumberland. They
charge that she didn't want her
parents to know that she had been
caught in shady transaction and
she adopted the name to frustratc
the police in going back over her
past.
Police are now seeking Mrs. Cum.
berland to learn from her about the
dual persons. They have been un.
able to locate her but they expect to
interview her some time today.
