made a cruise to Europe in 1925. In
Marseilles she was burned to the water
line at the stern and was laid up for
some time. However, she is now
pronounced fit again and is expected
to be in the race next year.
Several times since the memora bic
race in 1905 there have been proposals
for another such affair, Spain and the
United States being particularly
anxious for a contest. It was dis
cussed enthusiastically when the
yacht enthusiasts of the two nations
met at San Sebastian in 1907. and
again when the sender classes met
at Marblehead in 1910. In 1910 the
plans reached such a point that Presi-
dent Taft permitted trophy to be
named after him for a race during the
Summer of 1911. Chauncey Depew
and others guaranteed $4,000 for a
gold cup to be named after the Presi-
dent for a race from the Lizard back
to Sandy Hook. After much discus
sion and when everything seemed set
for the race the plans suddenly fell
through.
And so, for one reason or another.
the thrilling race of 1905 has not been
duplicated and there has been no
transatlantic yacht race since then.
Prospects today seem brighter than
at any time in the last 20 years, and
through the efforts of a handful of
enthusiastic SpaniardS and Americans
another contest seems assured.

Throughout these hazardous cam

danger which won for him the admira-
ton and respect not alone of the hardy
frontiersmen. but of the friendly In
dian traiie"s who accompanied the eX-
petition as well. His ability as a
fighter and his qualifications as a
commander won speedy recognition at
the hands of his superiors. especially

Beloved by his men for the per-
SiStency with which he followed their
fortunes and endured their hardships
and respected by his superiors for his
Unborn ability as a leader. Gen. Wood
capped his first few months of active
service with a master-stroke--the tax

troublesome followers. His reward
came in the form of the Medal of
Honor and promotion to the rank of

Gen. Wood has been the friend and
upon many momentous occasions the
confidant Of three American Presi-

elected in 1892 he selected Gen. Wood
for assignment to the White House as
physician and aide to the President.
an appointment he continued to fill
when Mckinley came into office.
AS a result of the close friendship
that sprang up between himself and
Theodore Roosevelt. then Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, 1t was Gen.
Wood who was chosen to command
the world famous Rough Riders" of
the Spanish-American war, recruited
by Roosevelt from among the from
tiersmen and cowboys of the plain
States. In this outfit Roosevelt con-
tented himself with the subordinate
rank of lieutenant colonel. The bril-
liant achievements of the regiment
at San Juan Hill and Las uasimas
were accomplished with the energetic
doctor soldier as the actual directing
head, serving as colonel of volun-
teers. His promotion in July. 1898, to
the rank Of brigadier general of the
United States Volunteers was the d.

to supply presidential candidates for
the next general election.
Many political booms were already
stirring while Gen. Wood was still ac-
tive in rehabilitation work. but when
he decided TO seek the Republican
nomination he received immediate per-
mission from Secretary Baker to lay
aside his Army duties and devote all
of his time to the campaign.
When the Republican national con.
vention assembled at Chicago and be-
dates before it, the trend showed that
Gen. Wood had tremendous follow
ing throughout the country, and it
was not until the convention-long
deadlocked over the contending can
didateS--decided to turn to Senator
Harding in the emergency that the
possibility vanished for the nominal
ton of the doctor-soldier- statesman.
After Harding's election the prob
lem of the Philippines presented itself
again for solution, and it was to Gen.
Wood that the President turned for
help. In the meantime. however, the
officer had been honOred in striking
fashion when the trustees of the Uni.
versity of Pennsylva MIA offered him
the post of provost of that institution
and he decided to accept. His decision
meant either that he must resign
from the Army or defer his acceptance
until he was eligible for retirement.
and after much deliberation he decided
upon the latter course.
Goes to Philippines.
This meant a delay of several
months, and during the interval he
was induced, with the acquiescence of
the university authorities, to accept
the post of Governor General of the
Philippines. for one year. Gen. Wood
found much to do in the islands,
however. and announced shortly after
his arrival there that his work could
not be completed before the begin
ming of 1923 at the earliest. Again
the indulgence of the university Of
ficials was sought and a further ex-
tension of his leave from the school
was granted. extending until such
time as his insular duties could be
concluded. In December, 1922, Gen.
Wood. although never installed as pro-
vost, formally resigned that office 80
that he might comply with the wishes
Of the administration and remain as
Governor General of the Philippine
Islands
AS an author. Gen. Wood has pro-
duced several books bearing upon the
Army. among them being The Mill
tary Obligation of Citizenship: "Uni-
versal Military Training and "Our
Military History: It's Facts and Fall
lacies." Throughout the three years
of his military career he received the
honorary degree of LID. from Har-

PRESIDENTS TARIFF
POWERS ARE UPHELD
Court Rules Congress Has Right
to Delegate Duty to Chief
Executive.

The United States Court Of Customs
Appeals yesterday upheld the con.
stitutionality Of the flexible provisions
Of the tariff act which give the Presi.
dent the discretionary power to raise
or lower import duties as high as so
per cent to meet foreign competition.
The question probably will be carried
to the Supreme Court for Anal deter.
mination.
The court held that the delegation
Of such authority to the President was
valid exercise Of the constitutional
grant Of power to Congress to regu.
late commerce. It's purpose Is to
equalize the difference in cost of pro.
duction in this and the principal com.
peting countries.
In raising the question Of constitu.
tionality. j. w. Hampton, Jr., &
Co., New York importers, contended
that the flexible provision section
attempted to delegate to the Presi-
dent power to .legislate and to
tax, which only can be exercised by
Congress-. The section Is not a pro.
vision for tax, duty or excise, 1t was
asserted by counsel for the Hampton
company, but is solely for protection
Of American industries, and as such
was illegal.
The court held broadly that in
foreign commerce, the power to regu-
late included authority to levy dis
criminatory duties and the right to
prohibit. This legislative right was
held to be absolute.
