Bender - Halted Nsw Staff Comspoedent. Washington, May 28. World con ditions, particularly the international situation in the Orient, make It in evitable that the United States gov ernment retain Indefinitely its hold upon the Philippine islands. For this reason the mission of General Weod, ordered to the Islands to investi gate and report after insistent demands of Filipinos for their independence, has taken on ' an aspect destined to effect a closer political and economic bond be tween the Islands and the United States. FILIM2COS BE8TIYE It Is realised here that in recent years the Filipinos have become less Ameri can, due to lack of cheap communica tion with the United States, Inadequacy of the American Institute school sys tem and a tremendous Japanese propa ganda, , :!:.:.-'S Wood's mission is to make a study of those conditions which make for rest iveness among the islanders, with an eye to recommending remedies. He is under orders to make a special inquiry into the workings of the school systems, pub lic works and the administration of justice, because in .these three phases of national life is the most fertile soil for developing discontent. - ... CLOSES BELATI09S SEEDED . Government officials here studying the Philippine situation predict that one of the first steps that will follow Gen eral Wood's return with his report will be the extension of cable facilities, mak ing It possible to get more American news into the Philippines and reducing the now virtually prohibitive ' rate on cable service. Another wilt probably be the establishment of definite trade routes, with faster service, to encourage trade contact. - , - ' 1 : s - ; : v The first need, according' to authori ties. Is to bring the Philippines closer to the United States that the respective peoples may know each other better. MIS8IOX IMPOBTAKT I The way also has been opened to Gen eral Wood to make a complete study of the whole situation in the Orient be fore he returns.

The farm ers' emergency tariff bill, which he came effective today, will mean an additional .burden , upon the Ameri can people of approximately $500. 000,000 a year, according to -semiofficial estimates made, here tonight. Joseph fi. McCoy, treasury department actuary, has estimated the additional revenue that will accrue to the govern ment from the measure will be $165, 000,000 a year. Economic experts, re gardless of party affiliations, ! usually admit that any tax. or tariff Is usually multiplied three-fold before it reaches the ultimate payer, the consumer. As a result, eliminating other circum stances that may affect the markets, the bill should Increase the cost of living to every, man., woman and child in the country about S5 a year. . - Local Residential Section Menaced By Earwig Pest An area . about two miles" square, within the well settled -residential dis tricts of Piedmont and Walnut Park, has become so afflicted with the pest of earwigs that a vigorous fight must be made or they will ravage the shrub bery. It Is feared. Other sections of the city may be affected by the spread of of this pest, unless a close watch Is kept. . . , This .is the statement of Walter H. Gerke. city aboriculturlst, after a week's work with Professor B. A. Ful ton, entomologist of the, Oregon Agri cultural college experiment station, in studying the best methods of extermination.- . Several mix&ires have been used, but the most successful is one of bran and white i arsenate or parte green. They advise the general' use of this mix ture, and ask that reports on results be sent to the city park , department. Gerke gives the following formula: "Bran, five pounds; white arsenate (not arsenate of lead) or paris green, three ounces; molasses, one-half pint; amyl acetate, 10 drops. "Directions : Mix bran and arsenate dry; mix molasses with water and. add to dry mixture, making it just moist enough to crumble. The amyl acetate is not absolutely .necessary, but makes the bait more attractive. Scatter thinly over the yard, placing it around founda tions of buildings, edges of walks and around base of trees and shrubs. Scat ter the "bait after 9 p. m. on a warm night, as the earwigs secrete themselves during the day and come out to feed at night. Do not expect to see results for two or three daya" (By ttaivenal Sarriae) New York. May 2S. With negoti ations for a settlement out of court virtually suspended. Indications to night were that hearings In the Still man divorce tangle will be resumed, according to schedule next Wednes day in the library of Referee Daniel J. Gleason at Poughkeepsie. It is intimated, ; on the highest au thority, that Rockefeller interests in the National , City bank, where J ames A. StUlman ' Is the former president, are still active in the attempt to stop the proceedings, but whether their influence will be great enough to force a compro mise remain's doubtful. Percy A. Rockefeller, one 1 of the dl rectors of the National City bank, ac cording to reliable Information obtained tonight, accompanied Mra "Fifi" Potter Stillman on a motor trip to Poughkeepsie a week ago last Thursday for a con sultation with John EiMack, guardian ad litem for JBaby Guy Stillman. FOTJB I3T PARTY According to this Information the mo tor party included, besides Mr. Rocke feller and Mrs. Stillman, James A. Still man Jr. and Harold Fowler McCosmick of Chicago, reported engaged to Miss Anne Stillman. It la understood that terms of settle ment, insofar as the interests of Baby Guy are concerned, were thoroughly dis cussed with Mr. Mack. Mr. Rockefeller is a member of the Millbrook Hunt club, and the explana tion is that he was on bis way to the club to hunt a fox, but the fact that he made the trip with Mrs. Stniman's party Is not disputed, it is said. ROCKEFELLER HA5D SEEK The hand of the Rockefeller interests is seen m the whole, movement for a settlement out of, court, according to those in close touch with the case. The advances made by Mr. Stlllman's law yers recently were a complete about face from their previous stand. They had asserted thfit-Mr. Stillman was deter mined to see the case through to the end. When the hearings are resumed Wednesday if they are resumed Dr. u-t, T?aAit nt Buffalo will take the stand. He will continue hia direct ex amination, which had not been com pleted when the previous hearings were adjourned. He will be subjected to a. rigid cross examination by Mra Still man's lawyers In an effort to discredit his damaging evidence. Men Employed in Lumber Work Less By 32.67 Per Cent Salem, May 28.
