E Those Favoring Indepen dence Present "Only an Ideal" He Asserts WASHINGTON. July 7. (AP) Administrative control of the Philippine islands should remain with the war department, rather than, be transferred to the interior department, in. the opinion of Governor-General Wood,! here on leave. The general expressed his view after-a conference with Secretary Davis 'andVaJor General Frank Mclntyre, chief of the bureau of insular affairs. Transfer of the islands ttthe interior department has the endorsement of President Coolidge. "I hope the administration will see fit to retain the Philippines under the jurisdiction of the war department." he said. "The gov ernment there is of such nature as to demand the backing of a de partment with the necessary strength to carry out its aims." Referring" to desire of the islands for independence, the gen eral said that was the ultimate goal also of the American govern ment, but he could not say when It would be reached. Those in the islands favoring Independence, he said,' had' placed "only an ideal, an utopianXdream, before the peo ple," and : had ' failed to explain that -the result would be higher taxes' and reduced trade. ' General Wood urged that atten tion .be given to the possibility pf rubber culture in the islands and the prospect that the Philippines might .become important shippers of fruit' to the United States. i - He told his chiefs. at the war de partment that conditions in the islands ' were peaceful and that only oocaslonhl breaks occur, be-. tween 'the Christians and Moros, but which arc :MlikeIy to be con tinued for,yjBi,rs to come." - -&-Visito:iMt'&? country ? club, while eating Ms lunch; called the steward to his table, f v;5!; . .;' . .vsteward," be objected, "the spinach: is underdone."

Road SPOKANE, July 7. (AP. Freight rates on livestock shipped from .Oregon points to Spokane aver tne Union Pacific will be re duced 12 per cent, the reduc-i tion to take efect tomorrow, it was announced today by C. O. Birgen, traffic manager of the Spokane Merchants' association, which applied for the reduction. While Spokane may not receive continuous benefit from the rate reduction by a large increase in cattle .receipts, is the opinion of Ray D. Rarrer, manager of the Spokane ' Union stockyards that the Spokane market will Receive larger shipments when the supply of 'cattle is short here, with a plentiful supply at Portland. "Portland was favored under the old rates," Birgen stated, "and the reduction gives Spokane by the same rate mile for mile." The" reduction is on branch line rates only, as the main line rates were already on the same basis for Spokane and Portland, he said. A vaudeville blackboard was wigard of the calling for long words. "Incomprehensible," called a voice from the pit. "Thank you.' "Rubber," suggested the gal lery god. "That isn't long enough," "You can stretch it."
