OPPOSED BY WOOD
American People Have Been Mis-
led and Befuddled on Conditions,
Governor General Says.
COOLIDGE LETTER IS CITED
Freedom Now Would Result in
Chaos, He Declares.

Charging that "the American people
have been misled and befudd!ed as to
Philippine conditions and sentiments
towards the United States" Goverer

ready for independence.
AS l see it," said Gen. Wood. the
responsibility rests squarely upon us

ourselves are satisfied these people
are prepared to maintain an indepen-
dent national existence"
Gen. Wood said he sympa thized
deeply with the desire of the Filipino
people for independence but declared
they are not yet prepared to assume
its responsibility. either from the
standpoint of instructed public opin-
ion, preparedness for defense, "A COM

and would release over 1900, 900
people ito strife and disorder in the
near future, for it would result in
almost immediate serious clashes be-
tween the Moros and Christian Fill

independence and desiring the contin-

would defeat true Independence. both
economic and political; ruin the sugar
and tobacco industries, destroy con-
fidence in investments. with resulting
wrecking of the finances of the
islands and attendant idleness and
disorder. 1t would be serious blow TO
western civilization and to the Christian
effort In the far east. and render
unayailing or destroy much of our
work here.
Cen Wood stated the conviction
that President Coolidge, in his letter
to Speaker Roxas, who headed the
Philippine independence commission

interest of the Filipino people and
indicated sound, sane and humane
policy which should be followed.

leaders have tried to line up the
Fflipinos against the government and
representatives of the United States.
Cen. Wood said. II have not re-

TWISTED
BY SIECEL over
$500 ASSERTION

The Bulletin-Appeal wishes to
completely repudiate the statement
made by George L. Siegel at meet
ing held at Union hall Monday eve
ming. Mr.. Siegel gave the impression
that he had been interviewed by a
representative of the Bulletin-Appeal
with reference to the use Of this me-
dunn for the sum of $500. The state
ment as made by Mr.. Siegel Is un-
true and wholly without foundation.
The Bulletin-Appeal will pay one
hundred dollars ($100) to any chari-
table association named on presenta-
ton of alleged authentic letter writ
ten by the Bulletin-Appeal making
any sort of proposition to Mr.. Siegel
or proof that we offered Mr.. Siegel
our service for any kind Of considera-
ton.
Sometime ago Mr.. Siegel, with
Robert w. Heffelfinger (white) in
terviewed Mr.. Elmer A. Carter Of the
Urban League. Mr.. Heffelfinger pro-
posed that Mr.. Carter write ten ar
ticles to be used in a newspaper to
be published during the political
campaign for the Siegel interest. This
proposed paper was to be in no way
connected with the Bulletin-Appeal,
as the BuTletin-Appeal opposed Mr..
Siegel. Mr.. Carter informed Mr.. Hef-
felfinger that this was out of his line
as the secretary Of the Urban League.
but as an individual he would pre-
pare the articles for $50 each. These
articles were not to appear in the
Bulletin-Appeal but as another race
paper that was to be published dur
ing the political campaign only.
Mr.. Siegel attempted to twist the
truth, and to have 1t appear that we
opposed him because he did not pay
$500 for our service is devoid Of
truth and wholly without foundation.
The Bulletin-Appeal had no part in
the proposed transaction. We op-1
posed Mr.. siegel from start to finish
because we did not consider him the
right man for Mayor Of 81. Paul.

BAD MANAGEMENT
BANKRUPTS GREAT
WHITELAW HOTEL

Bad management and lack of book
keeping caused the embarrassed
financial condition Of the Whitelaw
Hotel Company, Washington. d. c..
the investigating committee reported
to the stockholders.
One of the startling disclosures Of
this committee was the controversy
over a lot on the east side of the
Whitelaw Hotel. The committee re-
ported that it found number of the
members OF the board of directors
under the impression that this lot
was purchased for the Whitelaw Ho-
tel, but that John w. Lewis claimed
ownership of 1t and had lately trans
ferred it to his wife. The committee
also reported that it found that up
wards of $400 of the money Of the
corporation had been used in the
purchase of this lot.
The committee report declared
that it appeared that John w. Lew
is, who constructed the Whitelaw
Hotel and organized the corporation:
was given absolute authority in the:
management of affairs during the
period of construction and for some
time after the building was COM
pleted. He collected all monies and
disbursed them as he saw fit. It was
reported.
