He said In part:
"A year ago when wc met upon this spot IN

Last August the Cubans were patriots and
statesmen: now. In the opinion OF military
experts and politicians. they are incapable Of
Govsrn!bg themselves. A war with the device
Of freedom and ehivalry on lite banners has de-
vslopsd into confiict for conquest and base

In the fifteen mile race with motor pace
there were only two starters. but they made
new records for the world from the fourth

that the amateurs are still moro attractive on
the track than professionals. The finishes
were close and exciting, The new records
made were sensational Yet all the while
none OF the riders was doing It for
money. so far as Is known
In the afternoon the attendance was small,
but after the electric lights turned their glare
upon the stands the Official count showed that

Order Not to Deliver Postal Matter TO @
x. Martel of This City.

X. martol OF rms Ctys
WARRINGTON, Aug. 25.-An order forbiddinR
the delivery OF all mail matter to G. E. Mar
tel, the O. z. Nartel Portrait Copying House.
and the United States Supply House. all OF
2S1 Pleasant avenue. New York City. has been
issued By the Post Once Department. Tho
above concerns were owned by q. Z. Martel.
who operated alpioturs-sopyinG csta blishment.
He advertised in various papers throughout
the country for agents who would accept en-
ployment at 500 a month. strictly salary, and
10 those who replied 70 his advertisement he
wsuld enter into contract, the printed form Of
which made II apparent to tho agent that he
would receive 500 monthly. contingent on
the amount he succscdsd IN collecting on
orders taken. The construction placed upon
the contract By Martel. however. relieved him
from paying salary except In rare oasss.
The department. however. could not be per-
suaded that the construction Of the contract
a. contended by Martel was based upon rea-
son or business practice. but was fully con-
WINGED that the entire scheme was devised
for the purpose Of defrauding through tho
nails, A very large number OF complaints
have been received at the department from
persons who have sent pictures to this concern
for coping.
When Mr.. Martsl was seen at his homo In
Harlem last night. he declined to explain the
methods Of his business. He said that he was
going to Washington to-day and was sure that
he could prove to the Post ONCE authorities
that his business was perfectly legitimate.
There's something back OF all this" he said
'If you come around next Wednesday I'll tell
all aboutit IT,"
