Ivan told the occupants to move. ‘They refused.

Governor Wood Vetoes Island Relief Measure MANILA, Dec. 27.—(By The As- sociated Press.)—Governor General Leonard Wood vetoed a bill today, passed by the legislature, providing for an appropriation of $50,000 for extending relief, in cases of urgent necessity, for persons who are destitute or afflicted as the result of calamities. The bill fs identical with a meas- ure vetoed nearly @ year ago. ‘The governor general pointed out in affixing his veto to the bill, that | under its provisions, the secretary of the interior would have discre- tionary control over the expenditure of the fund. This provision the governor general considers contrary to the Jones law (the Organic act of the islands), which gives to the governor supervision and control over all executive departments of the insular government. It is understood that the bill will be brought up in the legislature | again, in the hope of obtaining its | passage over the governor gerieral’s veto, after which it will be sent to President Coolidge for his approval | or veto. | pS es Cc.
