MEANS LITTLE CHANGE
IN CUBAN GOVERNMENT
Administrations Plan Does Not In
volve a Long Step Toward the
Islands Independence.

NEW YORK. Nov. 10.-Brigadier Cen
eral Ludlow, military governor of Ha-
vana, after reading the special dispatches
from Washington describing the impend-
ing change in the government of Cuba,
said:
Assuming that the administration
really proposes a change substantially as
set forth, it does not surprise me. The
change as outlined would not, however,
in my judgment be so radical as might
at first thought appear. General Brooke
IS now virtually a civil governor as we'll
as q military governor. General Wood.
# he should be made the head Of the
government IN Cuba, would be, as l IN
deTStaud the scheme, denOminated civil
governor, but he would not be Invested
either of his military rank or of military
authority and power. a military force
would remain in the island and would
neceSsarily-Or, at least, almost certainly
be subject to the supreme head, the
civil governor. II has been our constant
aim and practice to subordinate the mill
larry to the civil as much as possible.
Hence l should not regard the change
stated to be proposed as a long step
toward the establishment Of a purely ma
lutte withdrawal OF the United States from
all active participation in the direction of
Cuban affairs. The paramount obligation
which rests upon the Government Of the
United States-to itself. TO Cuba and 10
the worlds 10 see that there exist peace
and order and protection to the lives and
property Of all. With this obligation fully
assured, as I believe It to be. the step
suggested as about to be taken cannot
be interpreted as abridging IN any great
degree the period to elapse before the
Cubons are fully intrUsted with their own
dasrIuE'

WHITEWASEERS' TRUST.
Colored Kalsominers Have Caught
the Craze for Combines.

Baltimore WhitewaShers are about to
form a combination for the regulation of
their business, and for the purpose of pre-
venting price cutting. Colored men who
have been engaged in the business for
years have been alarmed over nOYices,
who enter into competition with them and
secure jobs by using inferior materials
and cheap workmen. This they say re-
fleets in the end upon the trade in gen
eral and their object is to uphold their
profession by throwing around 1t safe
guards which they claim will be as mucn
for the benefit of their customers as for
themselves.
When 1t is remembered that there are
about 81 300 buildings in Baltimore it will
be seen what a formidable affair a white
washers trust would become and how
It's workings would be brought home to
nearly every family In the city. Scarcely
coat of whitewash for some part of it
or it's surroundings at least once or per-
haps twice year. There is some talk
of having the State regulate the business
probably by having a State Board of Elk
aminers, who would inquire into the quail
ihcations of whitewashers by competitive
examinations. 1t has been suggested that
the examinations might be arranged to
take place at some State institution.
where a section OF fence or building
might be allotted to each applicant for a
practical evidence of his ability Another
plan suggested is to license whitewashers
Then, 1t is said. the men would be regis
tered and could be kept under suryeil-
lance.-Baltimore Sun.

W|FE-MURDERER
BECKER HANGED
Awful Crime Avenged
by the Law.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

CHICAGO, Nov 10-Albert August
Becker. who on January q last murdered
his wife Rachel, and afterward chopped
up and boiled the remains in order TO dis
pose Of them, was hanged in the County
Jail at 1905 this afternoon. Becker's neck
was not broken by the fall, and IT was
sixteen minutes before he was pronounced
dead
On the scaffold Becker protested his in
nOcence and declared that George SUIT
terlin, the father of his second wife, was
the real murderer.
The case of August Becker in many
ways bore a remarkable similarity to that
OF Adolph Luetgert. Both of the con-
demned men were butchers, and the mo-
tive for the crime was the same In both
cases-the desire to get rid of the wife
IN order to marry a younger woman. The
manner Of committing the crimes was
much the same, both men, according to
the testimony, being extremely brutal in
the killing. and both using the same
means to dispose of the body-by boiling
and burning
1t was proved at Beckers trial that af-
ter killing his wife he had chopped
her body to pieces, then boiled the re-
mains on his kitchen stove, afterward
burning the remains in various places. AS
in the case Of Luetgert, the rings of the
testimony leading to conviction. Like
Luetgert. also. Becker endeavored TO ex-
plain his wife's disappearance by saying
she had eloped with another man.
Becker made several confessions. In
his first statement he said he had
Later he endeavored to implicate in the
crime the father of the woman whom he
married after numbering his first wife,
and to the last he adhered to this version.

LEGAL SLAVERY IN THE SOUTH.
Services of Negroes Fined for Small
/ Crimes Are Sold to Farmers.

Conditions much like slavery have been
brought about among the negroes in this
State by the fine-alternative system of
Furnishing minor crimes, and the grand
Jury of this (Anderson) county, in Its
presentment just made, directs attention
to them
A negro is arrested for some offense-
gambling, fighting. resistance of officers,
breach Of contract, violation Of the lien
other misdemeanors. He is fined SIS or
$50, with the alternative of working sixty
or ninety days, or even six months, on
the chain gang. Then white farmer
to be an able-boded farm hand the
farmer offers TO pay his fine, to be
worked out" and the negro usually con-
sents. AS farm wages are from Sc to So
q month and board, and in such cases are
fixed at the lowest rate, the negro
chances for working himself out of servi-
not dare TO violate his contract. If he
has a family. he cannot get away, and
even If he IS a single man he cannot go
far before he is captured. and breach Of
contract means another long term on tine
gang.
The gand jury in its report says: There
are in the county to-day a number Of
these unfortunates who, under terror Of
conviction for crimes ranging from the
most trivial Of which the law takes notice
to graver offenses have bound them
selves to landlords for a period of service
ranging all the way from one year to five
or more, having in some instances thee
or four years service for the advance
ment of fee of $50 or less. Worse than
all many worthless negro men, who have
neglected their wives and helpless chill
dren and have got into the clutches or
the law have bound these wives and chill
dren TO state of servitude to procure
the payment of some small fine. We are
told that in some instances children
scarcely out Of their infancy have been
thus bound out, sometimes during the
whole Of their minority, In order to pay
a fine of few dollars. the price Of their
fathers crimes. In other instances these
contracts are obtained in order to avoid
prosecution
The presentment names one lawyer of
the local bar, who. it charges, regularly
visits the County Jail and offers his ser
fees to be worked out" With the men
once bound to him, he can let them out
to farmers to work OUT what they owe
him, presumably making a profit on the
transaction. Whether convicted or ac-
quilted the prisoners are in equally bad
case, the term of their servitude depend
ing on the conscience Of the landlord.
The irnprovidence and ignorance of the
negroes make it easy TO hold them in
definitely with small advances of pro-
visions and clothing at tremendous prices,
and interest charges on the money, the
system expressed in the familiar lines:
Ort's er ort an iggers er 1gger;
All fur de white man; none fur de Niger.
The grand jury makes no recommended
ton except to suggest that 1t would be
more merciful TO punish offenders with
an absolute sentence of Imprisonment or
labor on 1.-The gang" that they might
serve out and be done with.-Anderson

STINGY GIRL
Saves Her New Shoes by Only Wear

It will be many long day before Hyde
Park will cease wondering-Hyde Park in
this instance meaning the young women
of that South Side District and the thing
over which their minds are bordering is
the old query: We'll what next?"
It all came out through burst of con-
fdence on the part of young woman
who has long held-not to say enjoyed
the reputation of being probably the
stingiest girl in Chicago. 1t has been
common gossip for years that when in the
parks she always walks on the grass to
save wearing out her shoes on the gravel
walks She never has been known to set
up" the ice cream sodas on hot day, and
a we'll authenticated story is current to
the effect that on one occasion, when two
young women called on her she brought
in a fine large apple ana divided II pc

that her father had just sent home bar
