C, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1924 - POLITICS CONFUSE PHILIPPINE ISSUES Quezon Press “Working Public Up ‘to Expect Early Inde- pendence.” FAIL T0O HAMPER WO00D Governor's Office Functions With- out Co-Operation. (Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago Daily Newa.) MANILA, December 20.—Philippine politics is now more of a puzzle than ever, with Mr. Quezon's coalitionist DPress working publio sentiment up to thorough expectancy of early inde- pendence—coupled in some way with continuation of free trade, the recall of Gov. Wood and the appointment by President Coolidge of a native gox- ernor general. All these fellcitods results are anticipated by the ver- nacular press, from the legislative non-co-operation with Wood. It Is all worked out daily In plausible edl torials Speaker Rexas, assigned to the task of gathering political pluma in Washington, along with Resident Commissioner Pedro Guevara and Isauro Gabaldon, is to make it clear to Americans that capital is needed and welcome. According to published 3 ret in- say much the non-co-operation. But from the same it is learned that the 1924 budget is probably to fall of passage, both the one Wond ubmitted and the one the legisla- ture prepared in its stea propaganda fund and al appropriations will hold over appropriations for 1924: oth there is much apprehension that Gov. Wood might veto the appropriation for paid patriotism. Active fn Wood's Absence. While Gov. Wood was absent from Manila on his Java trip time was well emploved by Quezon and the senate to gain a point or two in the auton- omy game. Wood had just named Aguinaldo’s old engineer officer to the appolntive seat {n the senate vacated by the resignation of Guinona. De- lay was made about a chair and desk, 50 an office; in speeches for several irony and sarcasm werc show- ered upon the old veteran. At length he was thoroughly angered, and after the da session he landed a good vigorous right on a senator's elo- quent jaw At once there was grave concern for the dignity of the genate. Out of 1t all came reference of Alejandrino’'s appointment (something with which the Jon law savs the senate shall h. nothing to do), to the commit- on elections and privileges. Here- it ay be expected, all such appointments will find their way to this committce. Confirmations Refused. To win the other point the senate refused to confirm Wood men named tor mayor of Manila. and then a bill was drafted to provide that when the | office for any reason was vacant there should be a line of succession through the insular executive department, where coalitionists are to be found. But the bill was not approved until to make this succession through the executive branch of the municipal government, The city government is democrata, i-Quezon.

Court Grants Limited Divorce to Mrs. E. J. Tull. Mrs. Emma J. Tull, wife of Emory R. Tull, was awarded a decree of lim- ited divorce in Equity Court today by Justice Bailey. The wife charged that Tull had deserted her and their daughter In March of 1922 and re- fused to maintain them. It was also 1leged that upon the day of the de- sertion Tull came home intoxicated and broke up furniture. The decree provides that Tull shall ay arreats of allmony amounting to §635, Deniaen conts and counsel fees. Attorneys James A. O'Shea and Ray- m?'nd Neudecker represented the e.
