Has Good Record Commenting editorially upon Gen- era) Wood's record in the Phi'lppines, the Times, under the caption “A Great American Administrator,” says “To General Wood are due the thanks not only of his own countrymen, but of the British people, for his em- phatic assertion of the necessity for preserving the white man's power and the white man's prestige in the Pacl- fic. Curfously enough, Japan and China have both seen fit to honor him. As a true friend of Great Brit- aln, as one who has done worthy service in time of war with our great Allles, and not the least as the host of the Prince of Wales during his visit to Manila, General Wood has {nounced at independent steel compan ies' offices yesterday Blagt was turned on in one furnace |of the Youngstown Sheet and *Tube company yesterday, and another will be blown in today or Saturday.

Boddy, who abandoned a few dz ago a tentative attempt to trade- leged knowledged of other Harlem | murderers for a commutation, ex plaining that his mood of nitenc went to the electric chair | 1e stolid mood in which he had lived his last days, Boddy spent most of the day read fng a Robert W.

All Americans and foreigners and many Filipinos has become seriously alarmed and discouraged by the econ- omic collapse which threatened the is- lands. The outstanding achlevements of General Wood's administration have been the rehabilitation of the currency system and the downward revision of the budget, whereby near- ly 20,000,000 pesos (normally $10,- 000,000) was saved to the treasury, and the dispersal of a strongly en- trenched political oligarchy. “Wood cleansed the judiciary and expedited the work of the courts;" the writer says, ‘‘and established ef- ficiency in the civil service. He made a searching investigation into the con- duct of the San Lazaro Asylum and the Cullon Leper colony, resulting in comprehensive measures for the eventual eradication of leprosy from the islands. Through his initiative liberal and sympathetic support has {been given to the advancement of science, particularly in those branches bearing on sanit n and hygiene, and upon agriculture.” Improves Harbor The correspondent then says that the establishment of the Manila port area commission by General Wood has given an impetus to harbor im- provements, and has facllitated the docking of ocean-going steamers and {the loading and unloading of cargoes. Measures have been put through for extending and co-ordinating the ar- teries of commerce on land and water, with a view to affording better serv- ice with cheaper rates, “One of General Wood's first steps,”” the dispatch conclues, “was to prepare and put through the legisla- ture a series of measures calculated to rehabilitate the currency system and reinstate the peso to its normal par value of 50 cents goid. As a resuit of these timely measures the credit of the insular government was redeemd. .| With the restoration of confidence KNOX KNOX -proof was being strapped into the chair he cution room and 11:07 when he was pronounced dead Another murderer, Herbert W, Smith, white, was put to death here last night.
