ties We're interfering in Cuban elections
Mr.. Root says the representatives of the
intervening government in Cuba are al
ready aware that their duty requires
them not merely to be strictly impartial
In the electoral contest in Cuba, but to
refrain from interfering in any manner
whatever with the free expression of the
wishes of the Cuban people at the polls
They will have, he says, nothing to do
with the electoral contest except to en-
force the electoral law prescribed by the
constitutional convention and promul-
gated by the military governor. This will
be done impartially and effectively.

colleges has entries in all the classes, and
as they represent the work of the stu
dents in the colleges, experts are taking
special interest in the result.

His Reciprocity Recommendation

SECRETARY ROOT RESPONSIBLE
AN ELEGANT ROW IN PROSPECT
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, ID. C.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-Republican
members of the house committee on ways
and means do not hesitate to express
disapproval of the recommendation of the
secretary Of war for reciprocity with
Cuba. The fact that it is known that
the president agrees with Root makes
no difference. A reduction of the duties
on Cuban sugar and tobacco would open
the way for tariff revision, and allied tar
iff interests are alert to head off any
movement in this direction.
If Roosevelt is disposed to press his
recommendations-an in the past he has
usually been found ready to press any
thing he favored-with the house leaders
opposed to him, there is room for trouble
in the Republican ranks. Representative
Tawney says he sees no reason for put
ting $20,000,000 into the pockets of the
sugar trust, and Grosvenor says the Gu
bans are ungrateful to ask for such
thing. Payne says Cuba must organize
a government before thinking of tariff;
Steele says the beet sugar industry must
be protected, and so on. All members
so inclined find good and sufficient
reason for opposing the presidents rec
ommendation.

Presidents Crony Has Decided
Views to Express.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Gen. Leonard
Wood, military governor of Cuba, arrived
here tonight. Accompanying him were
Mrs. Wood and Lieut.. Mccoy The gen.
eral will spend some days in Washington
in conference with the president and the
secretary of war regarding affairs IN
Cuba Tonight he and Mrs. Wood paid
social visit to the White house.
Gen. Wood will reiterate his previous
re recommendations for a reduction in the
duties on sugar and tobacco imposed by
the United States government. Geu.
Wood believes this absolutely necessary
for the financial rehabilitation of the
island and to prevent the recurrence of
conditions which existed under Spanish
rule He will urge earnestly upon the
president and the secretary of war that
1t Is the duty of this government, now
that It has taken the Cubans under its
protection, to encourage them to become
self-supporting and enable them to con-
tinue the good work Of maintaining tho
excellent conditions which have resulted
from American occupation.
1.-THE island now imports between $780,
600, 900 and $500, 100000 worth Of stuff every
year. Of this amount We furnish only
$28, 100000 worth, Notwithstanding our
superior markets and proximity. Of
wine alone, Cuba imports S., 100000 worth
each year from Spain. She also spends
in foreign countries s2,5OO.OOO for shoes.
$6.OOO,O0O for cotton fabrics, and $2,000,O0O
for rice.
More freedom in the tax from the two
staple products will save the island, be-
cause sugar is now raised at loss of
SO cents hundred pounds. Cuba Is
bigger than Java, and has a population
of 100000 inhabitants, while Java sup
ports a population of 2O,0OO,0O0 Cuba
can comfortably take care of a popula-
ton of 100000, and the people of in
huence and wealth on the island are
anxious for an accession of strength from
the United States. immigration will
solve the question of Cuba's future"

NEW YORK, Nov 29-United States
Judge Thomas, sitting in the United
States circuit court in Brooklyn, today
decided in favor Of the ruling of the
treasury department at Washington in
the case of Thomas Boden, of Philadel-
phia The decision prohibits Boden,
supposed consumptive, from remaining
in the country.
Judge Thomas decides that, as a simple
question of fact was before him in the
premises. he could not officially do other
wise than sustain the treasury depart
ment The question of law, he observed,
has been propounded In the writ of ha-
beas corpus sued out by Boden's lawyer.
The case has to do with the right of con-
sumptives to land here as immigrants.
F. T. Tobin, of Philadelphia, Boden's
lawyer, obtained a stay from Judge
Thomas, pending an appeal, which will
be taken TO the United States circuit
court Of appeals. In the meantime his
deportation will, of course, be deferred
until the appellate court has passed upon
the case.

Mrs. Pullman his mother, sent direc-

to relinquish the remains unless Mrs.
Pullman recognizes her.
The elder Mrs. Pullman was much op-
posed to the marriage of her son to
Mrs. Brazell, and has never recognized
the new wife. The position of the wild
ow is strengthened by the fact that
George, just before his death, made q
will leaving her the bulk of his estate
which includes expectancies from his

The matter was finally settled by an
agreement under which the body is to
