Young Wood Says
Will Straighten Out
Matter of Bad Checks

Havana, Jan. 27.-(AP)-Osborne
Wood said tonight that he would
sail tomorrow for Key West on his
way to Palm Beach to answer any
charge that may have been made
against him in connection with pass
ing alleged worthless checks,
j am going back to Palm Beach
and straighten out the matter" de-
clared the son Of General Leonard
wood, former governor general of
Cuba and now governor-general of
the Philippines.
Mr.. Wood said he knew nothing
of the charges against him. He was
sorry there was no airplane between
Cuba and Florida. because he felt
that in such matters time was a
great element and the longer a
charge remained unanswered by the
presence of the accused the more Sc
r1ous it appeared to be. Mr.. Wood
is stopping at the Hotel Sevilla.
The warrant sworn out before Coun-
ty Solicitor w. E. Roebuck TODAY
charged Wood with obtaining money
under false pretences from a Palm
Beach bank.
According to the information in the
hands of the county solicitor, Wood
presented check for $3.50 to the
casmer of the bank, saying the account
could be verified by calling the Esperi-
tas Santo Savings Bank at Safety Har-
Dor, Florida. The latter bank. if is
said, stated Wood had funds to cover
the check. but when it was presented
later it was returned marked no
funds
The charge of false prtenses was
brought on the assumption that
Wood withdrew his funds from the
bank with the knowledge that the
$3.50 check had not been drawn
against his account, the county So
licitor said.

king, have been chosen definitely by

Club at Nice. Suzanne showed the

were reviewed In the short minutes
of their companionship excepting
tennis.
While officially Mile Lenglen acted
as sponsor for Miss Wills. there was

glass of champagne, which in France
amounts to drinking one cup of cof-
fee in South America.
The tennis rivals were attired in
rigid tailor-maid suits of the simplest
models, Miss Wills in lavender and
blue. which have been Mile Lenglen's
special colors on the Riviera, while
the French girl wore plain dark
green.
Miss Wills is certain to play at
Nice on February I and the French
champion will probably also play,
but whether they will meet in the
Singles III Inal tournament is not yet
decided. The American girl is pair
ed with c. i. Aeschlimann in the
mixed doubles. while the French
champion is paired with Henri
Cochet. On Saturday next Suzanne
will make UP her mind whether she
will play in the singles.
When asked to tell frankly whether
she intended to meet the California
girl, Mile Lenglen replied: MY pro-
gram is unchanged since I made my
statement of December 10. will play
in the singles in three tournaments.
