Put Too Much Stress Upon a Statement
Regarding His decisions.
Moscow. April 6.-The sentence In the
spokesman-Review's dispatch from Boise
in yesterdays issue stating that "Judge
Piper Is being reversed with quite pain
full frequency by the supreme court ex
cited a great deal of comment here, where
Judge Piper has resided for number OF
years. The Spokesman-Review CORES
pendent interviewed Judge Piper last ey-
enng with reference TO the item, and was
very courteously furnished with quite
number of facts bearing upon the mat
ter, which would tend to put it in
somewhat different light. The legal bust
ness of this judicial district is the largest
in the state, with the possible exception
OF Judge Richards. 1t has been said that
a larger percentage OF Judge Piper's de-
cisions hae been sustained by the higher
court than of any district judge, with the
exception of Judge Standrod. In the pres
ent instance, five of the decisions of the
district judge were sustained ana five re
versed. This percentage Is, your cores
pendent was given to understand, n very
High one. All of the most important
cases that have come before Judge Piper
have been affirmed by the higher court,
including several OF the best known IN
this entire section. With the large amount
of litigation In this district, larger num-
Der OF cases may be appealed. but the per
centage of reversal Is not as large as the
Boise dispatch would indicate.

Spirits of War Rose High at the Meeting

Jacksonville, Fla, April 5.-The spirit of
war rose very high here last night at the
big mass-meeting in behalf of the Cuban

there and on the stage were a number
of prominent citizens of Jacksonville

with those dollars rifles and bullets have

A NICE ISLAND TO OWN.
Washington. April 5.-Speaking of the
mass-meeting held in Jacksonville last
night, Senator Call of Florida said: II
have frequently introduced in the senate
resolutions requesting the president of the
United States to open negotiations with
Spain looking to the independence OF
Cuba on the basis of an issue of bonds as
compensation, these bonds to be guaran-
teed to any reasonable extent by the
United States. At present the Cubans
have not established any provisional gov
eminent that we could recognize, but the
moment they do organize one that seems
to have reasonable chance of perform
ance l shall strongly urge their recogni-
ton as belligerents. Nine-tenths of the
people of Cuba are in favor of independ-
ence. and most of them are in favor of
annexation to the United States. Cuba
offers one of the finest markets for the
United States in the world. 1t is one of
the richest, and under proper sanitary
laws will be one of the healthi&t to be
found anywhere. and would be a perfect
garden If under our control They are
courageous, bright and quick witted and
make excellent citizens. In spite of the
absence of schools in Cuba, the people
have managed to keep themselves very
high in the scale of intelligence. They
pay an annual tribute of over s22, 900 900 to
Spain to maintain the army that is to be
used to try and crush Them"
