GEN.WOOD DENIES REPORT
HE PLANS TRIP TO U. S.
Cannot Leave Philippines Before
January l, He Says-Returns
From Inspection.
By the Associated Press.


MANILA, May Gov. Gen. Wood
today denied reports that he expected
to depart soon for a vacation in the
United States. The statement was
made after his return from an in
spection tour of the northern prov
inces. The governor added that it
would be impossible for him to leave
the Philippines before January !, 1926,
and at present he has no plans for a
vacation, although he has been in
the islands four years. During his
trip to the northern provinces, Gen.
Wood visited the Batanes Islands,
where he found small Japanese YES
sells were landing frequently without
authority. While the Japanese have
committed no recent -depredati tions, 1t
is possible that a formal protest will
be lodged against vessels landing at
the BataneS Islands without first
having obtained clearance papers at
Aparri.
The governor general expects to
leave for Mindanao soon to investi-
gate unrest among the Moros, es-
pecially the disturbances reported in

MASONIC BODY SEWERS
BELGIAN RELATIONS
New York Grand Lodge Charges
Grand Orient Abandons Require
ment of Belief in God.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 6.-Masonic rela-
tions between the Grand Orient of
Belgium and the Grand Lodge of
New York were terminated by the
latter body on April 2, it was revealed
yesterday, because the Belgian organi-
zation has abandoned the require
ment of belief in God and removing
the Bible from it's altars.' The formal
announcement was made by William
A. Rowan. grand master, at the open.
ing of the Hath annual communica-
ton of the Grand Lodge.
In his edict, terminating the rela-
tions which had existed for many
years, the grand master said, in part
that the Grand Orient of Belgium has
attempted to accomplish that which it
is not within the power of any man
or body of men to do. In abandoning
the requirement of belief in God and
laying violent and profane hand~ upon
the Great Light in Masonry, it has at
tempted to change the plan and the
very groundwork of the institution.
That the Bible is a book containing
sacred truth is, one of the fundamen-
tai tenets of Free Masonry"

CITY WILL SEIZE
'P|NEY BRANCH LAND
Price Asked Prohibitive, Con-
demnation Suit Is Begun by
Order of Col. Sheriff..

Immediate steps will be taken to
condemn land considered necessary
for the park system of the National
Capital. Lieut.. Col. Clarence o. Sher-
rill, director of the office of public
buildings and public parks of the Ma
tional Capital and executive officer of
the National Capital Park Commits
sion, today sent a letter to the At
torney General of the United States
asking him to Immediately institute
proceedings to condemn three tracts
of land in this city. These include
what is known as the Piney Branch
Parkway, extending in a northeaster-
i,Adirection |, from the Tiger Bridge on
Sixteenth street to Fourteenth and
Varnum streets, following the line of
Piney Branch, which is now inclosed
in a pipe; the large tract of land
east of Connecticut avenue and north
of Klingle valley road in the Cleve-
land Park section and the triangle
at Thirty-SeVenth street and WiScon-
sin avenue.
VIII Halt Dumping.
The purpose of this move, accord
ing to Col Sheriff., is to prevent any
U lilSI utSlI uClIOIl VI liltSe IOT
park uses. Institution of the pro
Ceedings will have the immediate ef-
feet of stopping further dumping on
the grounds. Considerable dumping
of earth has been going on for some
time in the Piney Branch Parkway,
and if it were allowed to continue
the site would be destroyed.
1t is the purpose of the Park Com
mission to purchase this plot to pro
vide a driveway by way of Rock
Greek Park to the downtown section
without the necessity of getting into
the heavy traffic in the highways of
the city proper.
Negotiations have been conducted
for some time by the Park Commits
sion in an effort to purchase these
lands at a reasonable figure, but 1t
has been found impossible to get
them on this basis. Therefore, it was
decided to take the land for Govern.
ment use by condemnation.

Herman Ekern Is Vindicated.

Madison Sweeping vindication Of
Attorney General Herman L. Ekern
on all charges of representing private
insurance interests in connection
with insurance legislation in the
Wisconsin legislature, and of deyot-
ing a minor portion Of his time to
the business of the state, is contained
in a report submitted to the state
senate today by special senatorial
committee appointed to inquire into
the charges.
The findings Of the committee are
concurred in by all members Of the
committee, but Senator William A.
Titus, Fond du Lac, member, added
an additional paragraph 70 the re-
port signed by him, in which he
declared it to be the judgment Of the
committee that state officials re-
ceiving full time salaries should de-
vote their entire time to the bust
ness Of the state.
This addenda says:
at should be noted in conclusion
that the Allegations in this unfortu-
nate affair should hinge on a system
prevalent in Wisconsin rather than
on any individual office holder. It
is the judgment Of the committee
that the state officials receiving full
time salaries should devote their en-
tire time to the business Of the state,
regardless Of precedents

Hurley Will Celebrate
Nations Birthday
American Legion Will Sponsor
Fourth of July Celebration;
Plans Nearing Completion.

A detailed program for Hurley's
Fourth of July celebration, which is
being sponsored by the American
Legion, will be worked out the early
part of the week, according to Com
mander John c. Kyle.
A feature of the celebration will
be music all day by the Caspian,
Mich, band, an organization that
comes well recommended. The
band will discourse music from 8
o'clock in the morning until 10
o'clock at night.
The days festivities will open with
parade in the forenoon. Plans
are to make this feature one of the
best ever held here. It's success,
however, depends on the way local
business places respond to the re-
quest to enter floats. Attractive
prizes will be offered for the best APP
pearing floats. 1t is believed that
the inducements are such as will
attract a large number of floats de-
picting the various business places
in the city. Prizes will also be of
fered for the best decorated auto
mobiles.
Following the parade there will
be program of races and athletic
contests, for which substantial prizes
will be hung up. Foot races, jump
ing contests, fat mems races, and
other athletic contests will feature
the program. The contests will be
held on the streets of the city.
In the afternoon there will be a
baseball game, with Bessemer
furnishing the opposition for Hurley
Probably the main attraction of
the festivities will be the display of
fireworks in the evening, which will
include many set pieces and other
features of an up-to-date fireworks
display. This part of the program
will be given at Hurley's new ball
park.
The above is only part of the
good things promised. The pro-
gram will be so arranged that there
will be something doing all day The
Legion hopes to make it the biggest
Fourth of July celebration ever held
in Hurley.

Best Assessments
in the Middle West
Statement of Late T. A. Polleys,
Northwestern Railway Tax Com
missioner, in Speaking of
Wisconsin.

The work of carrying the message
of better assessments to assessors,
local officials and property owners.
is being carried on with vigor. ac-
cording TO Pearce Tomkins, assessor
of incomes for this district, who re-
Gently gave out the following inter
view:
THE late T A Polleys, tax com
missioner for the Northwestern Rail
way System, was authority for the
statement that Wisconsin has the
best equalized assessments in the
middle west. Not content with
resting on our laurels the Wisconsin
Tax Commission and its assessors
of income have made an extra effort
to bring equality and fairness and
free our assessments from discrimin-
alton. They have inaugurated and
carried on a spirited campaign for
assessments Systematically made
according to law. Have asked that
property be assessed at sales value.
Classification of cut-over, swamp,
marsh, cultivated, timber, and the
various classes of lands have been
provided for in the assessment rolls
Assessors of income have been
urged to carry the message for better
assessments to the assessors. local
officials and property owners.
The response has been wonderful.
Assessors generally have risen to the
occasion. The majority of the two
thousand assessors in the State are
underpaid and make a real sacrifice
in devoting sufficient time to per-
form their work efficiently and well.
Property owners should see that the
worthy assessor is given due credit.
The position should be raised to it's
proper plane. Good assessment
and tax laws, proper state and coun-
ty equalization are of little use un-
less the local assessor, who in the
final analysis determines how much
taxes each shall pay, performs his
duty faithfully and in compliance
with the law, The Wisconsin Tax
Commissioner urges your further CO
operation in this worthy cause. Re-
member that while the amount Of
taxes you pay is determined by your
legislature, town meeting, city
council, village and school boards
the distributions of all general pro-
perty taxes is made on valuations
fixed by the local assessor. Attend
your boards Of review and demand
equality and justice Support the
assessor who performs his duty
Retire the incompetent"
