WOOD MESSES JOB
MAY Be FIRED AS
PHILIPPINE CAR
Leader of Ohio Gang
Slated as Successor

Governor General Leonard Wood is
slated to lose his job
The usual bunk about demands of
health" is being handed out and in
iudiciously swallowed by newspaper
reporters. But ever since Colonel Car
mi Thompson, Ohio buccanneer, Gin
vestiVated" the Philippines for Har-
vev Firestone, rubber magnate, and
Cal Coolidge, and criticized Wood in
his report to the president, the re-
moval of Wood has been certain.
Ruling eleven million people in the
face Of their determined opposition is
a difficult Job and IL takes shrewdet
politician than Leonard Wood to do
it. His tactics have only stirred the
Filipinos to more insistent demand
for immediate independence. and he
has failed miserably in carrying out
the tactics of American Imperialism
in the islands. His attempts to divide
the Moros and the Filipinos and rule,
have only crystallized the sentiment
for independence.
MOros Queer Wood.
The series of revolts which have
recently taken place among the
Moros have clearly indicated that
American Imperialism must fire Gov
ernor General Wood and get a new
Philippines agent.
The rich rubber lands Of the Philip
pines located for the most part on
the island of Mindanao) are inhabited
by the Moros. And the United States
wishes to retain them at any cost.
THE Bacon bill, introduced in the
House of Representatives would have
given the northern islands their in
dependence and maintained brutal
semi-feudal rule over the southern
rubber-producing islands).
Woods failure to successfully carry
out the job assigned to him probably
means that Colonel Carmi Thompson
will become governor-general of the
islands in the near future. Thompson
is member Of the Ohio gang.
Reports from the middle west state
that Wood is on his way to the Black
Hills to confer" with President Cool

The old scale was only $500 a day
a ridiculous wage, less than half that
paid to steamfitters' helpers who do
work requiring about the same
amount of effort and skill But the
old $500 scale is pretty dc d. even
in Manhattan where the strike did
not last nearly as long as in Brook

$3.50.

find 'SACCO Cap
is PROSECUTION
FAXED EVIDENCE
Link in Frame-up Chain
Inserted as Afterthot

BOSTON, June 22.-(FP).-The
"Sacco cap" that was supposed to be
one of the browning pieces of evil
dence against the Italian radical has
been weighed and found wanting by
George Branting, son Of the former
socialist premier of Sweden, who
came to America for the sole purpose
Of studying the famous international
labor case.
Thayer and Cap
This cap was a star exhibit at the
trial. At the Brockton police station
after Sacco's arrest he was compelled
to pose in the cap for the assistance
Of identifying witnesses. The cap was
said to have been picked up at the
murder scene. Judge Thayer in his
1924 opinion, denying the first mo-
tions for a new trial, cited the cap
as strong circumstantial evidence Of
Sacco's guilt.
But Granting has probed into the
facts. He finds, first: that the cap
was not discovered till "a hours after
the crime. And since from two to
three thousand workers from the
Slater & Morrill, and the Rice &
Hutchins shoe factories few yards
away had been beating up and down
the public roadway on which the gar
ment was supposed to have lain the
case becomes peculiar. 1t is difficult
to believe the cap could possibly have
rested there % hours without being
picked up.
Official Planted IT.
The "finder" Of the cap was an
official of the Slater & Morrell shoe
factory, whose payroll had been
robbed and whose executives were in
terested in getting a speedy convic-
ton. After another "a hours the COM
pany turned the cap over to a Brain
tree policeman, whose name the de-
tense now has.
The "Sacco cap" was either a fraud
or a mistake, in the opinion of Tim
othy Collins, Bostsn Globe district re-
porter, who arrived on the scene a
half hour after the murder. Brant-
ing has Collins story. Collins got the
police facts at once. There was not
word about the cap the first day,
nor the next and not till several weeks
later.
The "Sacco cap" appears to have
been an after thought of the prosecu-
tion-a link in the frame-up chain
inserted at a late day.
