2. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood announced today his formal acceptance of the appointment to the governor generalship of the Philippine islands which was tendered him by Pres-dent Hardir.g. General Wood is here with W.

Cameron Forbes just completing an investigation tour of conditions in the islands, which was undertaken at the solicitation of President Harding. General Wood said that he had notified Secretary of War Weeks that he would retire from the army to accept the governor generalship, his retirement being necessitated by the refusal of the house to pass the congressional resolution which would permit him to accept the position without loss of his rank as an army general officer. Patriotic Duty "I desire to accept the governor generalship because I believe the seriousness of the situation Mr. Forbes and myself have discovered in the Philippine islands rises superior to my personal wishes," General Wood said in an informal statement. "I feel that It is my patriotic duty to accept and I shall undertake to assume the duties of the office as soon as possible." AccordLng to the plan decided upon today, the mission will leave here on September 10 for China, going to Japan later and returning to Manila about October 10.

Mr. Forbee, a former governor general of the islands, probably will, however, continue to the United States Japan, Before leaving for China the mission will cable a synopsis of its report on conditions in the Islands to President Hard-lngi, jnomplBtlng the detailed report after the return to Manila, Picks His Staff General Wood announced that he had asked Secretary Weeks to de-. tail Colonels McCoy and Johnston, Major and Lieutenant Wood to act as assistants to the governor general. With the exception of Lieutenant Wood, all these officers, who are members of the investigating mission, have served in the Philippines and are familiar with insular conditions, especially in the Islands, of Mindanao and Sulu, where the Moro Mohammedan tribes are threatening serious trouble. According to the plan discussed today Colonels McCoy and Johnston and Major Bowditch will be assigned to duty in various departments of the insular government, while Lieutenant Wood will be detailed as military ajd to the governor genera Army officers are forbidefen to hold civil offices, but the governor general may assign-them to duty as assistants in the various departments of the government.

General Wood said that he probably would not ask retirement from the army, for which he is eligible under the provision for 30 years servloft. until he has been confirmed by the senate. Released by Educators PHILADELPHIA (By Associated Press). The University of Pennsylvania board of trustees made it possible for Maj. Gen.

Leonard Wood to become governor general of the Philippine islands for one year, when they granted him leave of absence from scholas-, tic duties until September 1, 1922. This action was taken at a special meeting, called to consider letters of Secretary of War veeks, requesting the board to release the general from his promise to become head of the university, so he might take charge of the government's affairs in the Philippines. When General Wood pledged himself to the university he said only a national emergency would cause him to change his mind. In a letter Secretary Weeks addressed to Gov. William C.

Sproul, president ex-officio of the board, he enclosed a message from General Wood which declared the latter believed a national emergency now exists in the Pacific islands. Visits IwaMg Colony CULION ISLAND, P. Sept.2. Maj. Gen.

Leonard Wood and W. Cameron Forbes arrived here Wednesday after inspecting the Iwahig penal colony on Palawan island, established by Mr. Forbes when he was secretary of commerce and police in 1904.

WOOD A PHILIPPINES WORLD'S EYES ON THE PACIFIC SAYS GOVERNOR America's Great Need Today Is for Civic Soldiers, Declares Farrington Legion Members Urged by Executive to Be a Power for Uplift in Community (Special Star.Buliettn Wiralsss) HILO, Sept. 2. Aim to build not destroy; be a powerful factor for civic development; estop political treachery; give helpful leadership to the community: lend impetus to th expansion of the public school system; buttress the American home; and fortify American citizenship against the aggression of alien interests this was the message of Governor W. R. Farrington to the annual convention of the American Legion, department of Hawaii, here today.

Coupled with this the governor made a strong plea for support of the rehabilitation of the Hawaiian people through tne operation of the Hawaiian Homes act. Emphasizing that one of the great needs of the country today is for strong, forceful men of high integrity to actively interest themselves in matters of community life and government, Governor Farrington appealed to the Legionnaires to enroll themselves In this citizen army as willingly as tny did in the cause of democracy In 1917, and be just as enthusiastic in promoting public welfare as they were determined to rout the German. His address follows: The American Spirit "An early incident of the great war comes to my mind when 1 address an audience of veterans. One of our torpedo boat destroyers op erating in the North sea was wrecked by a mine. It was every man for himself, for the disaster seemed complete.

In the midst of the wreckage a husky American sailor came to the top, brushed the -water out of his eyes, discovered himself alive and shouted to whatever survivors might be within range of his voice, 'Where do we go from here, boys? Where do we go from here? "This has always appealed to me as being typical of healthy, courage ous Americanism. It bespeaks the readiness for any duty and the refusal to accept any passing disaster as the end of the Journey. Finding that there is still the breath of life and the energy to go forward the American wants to be on the go, and like the sailor in the North sea he has a pretty definite idea of how he will shape his course and what he ought to do. Purpose of Legion "The American Legion expresses i a national desire and the determination of veterans to preserve and perpetuate all that Is best In the courage, patriotism and the sacrifice brought out by that great disaster. With becoming modesty, com paratively little time Is devoted to recording your own deeds of valor, though you see to It that the nation shall never forget those who made the supreme sacrifice.

The cause, the history and the deeds of the men and women who gave their lives that we might live are guarded with tender reverence. "And when this is done, the big- souled, energetic, vigorous Ameri can comes to the top and demands that we move on, that we get to some places that we go somewhere. "It Is a great privilege and I appreciate the honor of participat ing' in this convention of the men who are not forgetting the lessons of the great war and who understand the importance of organization in securing the greatest prac tical results from those lessons. "The territory has the highest re gard for the American Legion reo- reser.ting a physical proof that the men who responded in 1917 are equally ready for any future service in civic or military life. Civic Responsibilities "In many respects you have al ready answered the jquestion "Where do we go from here? The American Legion has lost no time in driving Into civic responsibilities.

No group of citizens is tetter able to understand that with sunrise there comes to every American a call to eternal vigilance in the display of courage, patriotism and, it may be. of self-sacrifice. And this service may be more important to his coun try and humanity than any he had the opportunity to render on any drill ground or battle field. The man who thinks that all the great opportunities in life are in the water that has gone under the bridge needs a new angle on life and the things about him.

This possibly occasioned some mental depression, although you knew and we all understand that you were placed where you were most needed. "If any of you suffered a twinge of disappointment at being located on the eastern front of Hawaii rather than the western front of Europe, I am sure that your feelings may be fully soothed when you realize that you are now a factor in the work of national and international recuperation.

INClEASEDlY FOR OFFICIALS IS But Extra Money Will Not Be Forthcoming Until Ap proved by Congress The governor, the secretary of Hawaii and the chief Justice and associated justices of the territorial supreuie court will not enjoy the benefits of the increased salaries allowed them under the Hawaiian homes commission act until items covering the increases have been inserted in the next federal deficiency appropriation bill, ad until that measure is passed This is the conclusion reached by Attorney General Harry Irwin in an opinion which was sent to Governor Wallace R. I arrington late yester day afternoon The attorney gen eral believes, however, that the executive officers and supreme court justices will not suffer a financial loss as a result of the congressional routine referred to. as the deficiency bill will in all probability carry the increased salary items from the date of the passage of the act, making the increased salaries retroactive.

With regard to the salaries of executive officers of, the territory, the opinion says, in part: "These salaries are specifically covered in present appropriation bills so that it will be necessary to have inserted in pending or future deficiency appropriation bills items covering the increases in salaries for these officials. "While in Washington, the delegate and I called upon the chairman of the appropriations committee of the house, called his attention to the increases in these and other salaries, gave him all necessary information thereto, and obtained his promise that items covering these increases would be inserted In the next deficiency appropriation bill." Attorney General Irwin is of the opinion that the deficiency appropriation bill referred to has by this time been As regards the Increase -in the salaries of the circuit court judges, the attorney general states that the present federal appropriations covering these salaries being indefinite in nature and providing "as much as may be necessary" for that purpose, no such deficiency appropriation is necessary to meet the in creases. He is of the opinion that the increased salaries as provided for by the Hawaiian homes commission act are now being received by the local judges. The governor also the opinion of the attorney general as to the status of the fourth judge of the local circuit court, this new position having been created by the legislature of 1921, the idea having been to establish a court of domestic relations. In this respect the opinion says: "The power impliedly granted by the organic act to the territorial legislature to enact laws 'concerning the several courts' and "relative to the judicial department is broad enough to include the power to add one judge to the three Judges of the first circuit court without additional approval from Congress." The next step to take, says the attorney general, is to request the attorney generals department to proceed with the necessary- matters which will bring about the appoint- I ment oi a tourtn judge.

Under the Hawaiian homes commission act the new salaries of local officials are as follows: Governor, secretary of Hawaii. $5400; chief justice, $7500; associate justices. $7000: circuit Judges, $6000; U. S. attorney," $5000; "i' marshal.

EMC Foster Societies of American Citizens of Oriental Descent, He Advocates Hawaii Has Been too Hesitant Handing Racial Problems, Says Commander (Special Star. Bulletin Wlrele) HILO. Sept. 2 The real and main Issue In Hawaii today is Americanism, declared J. K.

Hutier, department commander of the American Legion of Hawaii, in his address to the today assembled In annual convention. Commtnder Putler, after reviewing the year's activities of the Legion, urged as the two most important matters that should occupy tntsi Legion attention in the next few months the question of ownership of land by aliens and the fostering of the societies of American citizens of oriental descent. Commander address In part follows: "I hope that at this present convention you will reiterate your position upon the question of land ownership and will provide for a thorough investigation of this subject and the presentation of suitable legislation to the next territorial legislature to carry into effect such demands as may seem best from the standpoint of our national or community interest. "In commenting thus on this as a future activity, it Is advisable to explain that your department executive committee did not carry Into effect the wishes of the first convention in this regard because it was impossible to properly study this question and present suitable legislative proposals to the legislature, nor did the situation In Hawaii seem favorable towards Us consideration. Therefore, in the interest of other and at the moment more important bills, it was decided not to press for action along these lines until a thorough study could be made and a concrete and well-rounded program could bo presented.

"The second Important activity which It Is recommended that the Legion as a whole undertake is the Increase and the development of the societies of American citizens of oriental descent. "In this community such activity largely confines itself to tho preponderating nationality in our population, i. the Japanese. Hawaii Too Hesitant "As a community, perhaps, Hawaii has been too hesitant in dealing with the racial problems within Its borders for fear that it might be charged with having racial prejudice. "It is a proud claim of the territory that we have no race Issue, and to some extent that claim is justified.

Nevertheless, the issue in this territory ia Americanism and the insuring to those who are legally citizens an opportunity to properly fulfill their citizenship with the respect due them. "We have children born in great numbers Into our community every year who are entitled to all the rights and privileges of our citizenship, and yet a vast majority at least, continue to live according to the standards and under the teachings, the language and the religion of their forebears so that upon reaching their maturity they show-no desire to claim or value their American citizenship. Some of tho blame for this is attributable to tho fact that these citizens ha had no proper opportunity to declare their American citizenship, and, it allowed to continue, this will defeat the development of Americanism which we seek to achieve. Asserting Their Loyalty "The Forum of American Citizens of Japanese Descent affords to these new citizens of our country an opportunity to definitely placa themselves on record as disclaiming any duality of citizenship and of asserting their loyalty to our country. It does not necessarily mean enmity to the race from which they have sprung nor ill will to tho ideals of their forebears.

Is a duty of the community and a duty of the Legion to insure the growth and success of these forums to the end that many of the doubts as to the position of our young citizens in this community may be cleared up. "In this respect the Legion mut be active in protecting and Insuring to these young American citizens full tribute to their citizenship by other members of the American community. "Another matter which I believe deserves the sympathetic support of the Legion is the carrying out of the recently enacted law providing for rehabilitation of Hawaiians and their reestablishment on the land. This is an experiment which must needs be honestly and Intelligently trld if success Is to be achieved, and, while the Legion cannot actively enter into the machinery of the law's execution, we owe it to those sincere members of the Hawaiian race to stand by and help with our support, counsel and advice, to the end that this; experiment may have the most favorable opportunity for complete success.

BOOlWiC IS HIT IN STATEMENT BY JUDGE VAUGHAN Says Everyone Should Aid in Crushing Bootlegging; Praises Star-Bulletin A smashing arraignment of boot leggers who manufacture and sell the "stuff called okolehao" in this territory, and praise for The Star-Bulletin's activity in exposing the illicit booze traffic are contained in a formal statement prepared to day by Judge Horace W. Vaughan of the federal district court.

Judge Vaughan expressed his hearty approval of the efforts now being made to stamp out the traffic in okolehao. He gave emphatic expression ateo to his conviction that okolehao is the deadly poison which experts have shown It to be and uttered a solemn warning to the people of Honolulu concerning the effects of drinking it. Judge Vaughan's statement in full follows: "Of course, every one charged with violating the national prohibition act is entitled to a fair and impartial trial according to law, and I would be the last man to do or say anything that would have a tendency to deny that right; but I would be glad to do or say anything I could that would tend to produce respect for the law and cause it to be obeyed and violations of It to cease. "From my observation and from information gained through the cases that have come before me, I am of opinion the stuff called okolehao that has been made and sold in this territory since the prohibition law went into effect is a most dangerous poison, far more likely to cause death or serious Injury to the body and to the mind of one who takes the chance of drinking it than any other Intoxicating drink I have ever, heard of. The publicity which The Star-Bulletin has given to this fact performs a much needed public service and deserves commendation.

"Whatever one's sentiments may be in regard to the prohibition law, however much of an interference he may think it to be with his personal liberty, surely no one can Imagine that the makers or sellers of such poison have any right to engage in a business that threatens the health and lives of all who patronize them or take the chance of drinking their poison. "Those who may be ever so much opposed to being deprived of their drinks of liquors they may think harmless or at least not dangerous when used in moderation, should give no countenance to the makers and sellers of such dangerous poisons as illicit stuff that has been manufactured the devil only knows where or how or how vile It may be. Everyone should give all proper aid and encouragement to the detection and prosecution of all such offenders, to the end that such violations may cease."

lodged against the defendants, were dropped following their appearance as witnesses in the case of Manuel C. Medeiros, suspended motorcycle policeman, who was found guilty on Wednesday on three charges of violating the national prohibition law.

A number of orientals who lined the main street of Hilo to witness the inaugural parade this morning of the annual convention of the Hawaiian department, American Legion, failing to remove their hats as the Stars and Stripes passed by were severely rebuked by marching Legionnaires.

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE IS GETTING RESULTS The executive committee of the Anti-Saloon League of Hawaii met yesterday afternoon at its headquarters, 10 Stangenwald building, this being the second meeting presided over by the new executive agent. Jay O. Warner. The league.

which was reorganized last May, has a membership of 572 and is actively assisting the law enforcement officers to obtain definite information of places and people concerned with the sale of okolehao. More than 500 letters have been sent out to members in the territory and the agent has had about 50 interviews with representative citizens of Honolulu. "To say ttfat 'a place is running wide open" or that one 'knows where he can get all he wants" Is not sufficient information," said Mr. Warner. "We are busy getting first-hand, definite facts and have been able to furnish these In 21 cases, nine of which have been in- vestigated with seven prosecutions.

These include the notorious Paddy's plaoe and the Honolulu soft drink parlor." Mr. Warner exhibited a letter from the United States district attorney's office containing the following commendation of the league: "Your office has "furnished us with information in several cases and witnesses in at least two cases which I consider of unusual importance. I refer to the charges of violation of the national prohibi tion act against John Moffitt et al, and against ei al. The information furnished by your office was especially valuable in the two cases mentioned." The Anti-Saloon League does not confine itself to isolated cases of violation, but is behind every movement for law and order, education as to the effects of alcohol on society and the crystallization of public opinion in favor of law enforcement.
