Fighting Gen. Wood.
1.-THE Legislature and it's leaders"
he pointed out, ''have consistently
sought to exercise powers vested in
the governor general by the organic
act of the Philippines. Many OF these
powers were virtually abandoned to
them by the chief executive VINO pre-
coded Gen. Wood in Office, and they
have stubbornly contested Gen.
Woods efforts to regain and exercise
them"
On the other hand, Col. Thompson
expresses the opinion that the mill
tary atmosphere of the present admin
istration of the islands has been un-
fortunate in it's reactions.
1.-THE governor general. himself a
distinguished soldier. is surrounded by
a group of American Army officers
evidently lacking In training and ex.
perience in the duties of civil govern
ment and in dealing with Legislative
bodies and civic officials" Col. Thomp.
son reported.
He contends that this group, instead
of facilitating cooperation, has made
co.operation difficult and that the sit
uatipn gives Filipino leaders an oppor-
tunity to protest that the islands are
under militaristic rule.
Col. Thompson believes, however.
that on the whole Gen. Wood Is to be
commended upon his efficient conduct
of Philippine affairs.
Civil Rule Urged.
Finding no evidence of any anti
America nism which would neCessitate
military control, Col. Thompson's
observations lead him to believe that
the people would be more contented
and less inclined toward unrest under
more purely civil administration, and
it was because of this belief that he
recommended the transfer of admin
istration of all these overseas pos
sessions to. special insular bureau,
to come directly under one of the
regular departments, or to be an in
dependent establishment reporting
directly to the President. lie believes
such transfer of authority would re-
suit in increased efficiency and would
reduce the friction now existing.
Commenting upon the fundamental
obligations of the United States to
the Philippines, Col. Thompson report
ed that America must not abandon
these islands to the risks of an indie
pendent existence without reasonable
to meet economic compe-
tition or political aggression of strong
er nations.
Col. Thompson pointed out that the
lacked capital and business
energy, that business in the islands
Is practically at a standstill and that
it is nearly impossible to obtain new
capital. He stated that many exist
ing investments now are regarded as
unsafe and that Filipino labor II with
out sufficient employment and rs emf
grating to other nations.
He is satisfied. however, that the
islands have great possibilities and
with the settlement of it's present
problems. capital for development will
be forthcoming.

on comedian. probably averted SER
ious injuries to many children late
today, when 500 boys and girls,
alarmed by the clouds of dense
smoke pouring from blaze on Main
the Strand theatre.
Believing that the theatre itself
was on fire as they caught sight of
the smoke near the entrance, the
youngsters leaped from their seats
and began to struggle toward the
exit.
Lemon, who was on the stage at
the time, instantly realized what
might happen and he began calling
out to the crowd to be calm, as there
was no danger and interspersed his
commands with jokes.
Within a minute or two a sem
blance of order had been restored
and Lemon soon had the playhouse
like little soldiers, a police officer
coming to his assistance as they be-
gan to pour out into the street.
The fire, which started about the
kitchen of Mont Trainers restaurant.
swept through the two-story build
ing in which that establishment is
located burned into one end of the
Timer Block. and caused losses ag-
gregating s11.500.
Trainer estimated the loss on the
restaurant at $4,000, that on the
building is about $4,000. the Ulmer
Block was damaged to the extent of
$500 and water pouring into the
harness shop of Simpson and Staples
on the ground floor of the Timer
building caused $4,000 loss.
Originating near the restaurant
chimney the flames quickly spread
throughout the kitchen, and as the
smoke poured into the main restaur-
ant 25 customers fed to the street.
Within few minutes the fire had
gone up through the building and
was raging in the storeroom and
quarters for the help on the second
floor. Then 1t spread to the southern
end of the Timer block, but the ex-
cellent work of the fire department
checked it there.
