It Is understood that few meetings OF

After the work OF the commission has
been mapped out tho first step will be to

be regarded as plaintiffs In tho case. No.
tlfcatlon win be sent TO all Interested par
ties that, AT certain specified times, the
commission Will hear evidence TO be pre-

present at the hearings either personally
or by counsel,
II is probable that tho first sessions OF
tho commission at which testimony will be
taken will be held In wikesbnrre, as that
city will be most convenient for the min

be held In Philadelphia or in New York
or IN both cities.
Whether the sessions viii DO open to tho

as quite likely that az ali sessions when

The Right View Of Cuban Reciprocity

Senator Perkins has written an open
letter upon the subject Of Cuban recip-

from which the following is taken;
We were asked 10 make our own peo-
pie suffer as result Of having spent our
money and given our lives tha. Cuba
might al last achieve that which she has
so long been struggling for. To my mind
II there Is any benefit TO anyone from our
action. i, should be 70 ourselves. Surely
Il is unreasonable TO ask in addition 70
what We have done. for Cuba. that We
should cripple some Of our important in
dusiries that she should receive more
money for similar products Of her people.
