Goodness a Qualification.

ION such occasions GOODNESS Is one of the
qualifications required of an officer, and
while there is no time for argument, due
attention should be given to the statements
or pleadings Of persons who may have come
from burning building. Fault is not found
with a police officer who exercises proper
care in moving a crowd, which was not
large on this occasion, but when he so far
forgets himself to disregard the plead
ings of those who have emerged from a
building which is on fire he has not a full
understanding of his duties"

AMERICAN HOLDINGS
HAVE LARGE INTERESTS IN
CUBAN SUGAR LANDS.
Testimony Heard by Senate Committee
IT. G. Palmer Presents Statis-
tics-Claims for Damages.

Truman C. Palmer of Chicago today con-
tinued his statement on the subject or
American holdings of sugar lands in Cuba
before the Senate committee on Cuban re-
lations. He added to the two classes or
American owners four others. SUMMARY
ing the entire presentation he placed the
number of Cuban estates held by Amerl-
cans. individual and corporate, at l12. with
a total acreage of ownership amounting to
l. 49, sol, of which 330SiG acres are cane
producing The annual cane capacity or
this land he placed at S3o44o TONS but ne
said that the lands were not. of course.
producing to their full capacity, and some
of them not at all. These American owners
have war claims against the United States
amounting in the aggregate to SAL 49,, Sa3
Having concluded his statistical presenta-
ton Mr. Palmer said that the estates mem
toned contain ninety-nine central raw SD
gar factories. with a total producing capac-
ity of 800, 445 tons, but from purely cane
growing standpoint the lands in cane would
produce ST 10 tons
He then added: Some of these American
factories for which claims for damages
have been presented undoubtedly have not
been rebuilt but neither the Spaniards nor
the insurgents could have destroyed the
land which was in cane. The cane I'M
doubtedly was destroyed, but the land must
be in better condition to grow cane after
wears of idleness than ii was several years
y
ago when Cuba produced over million
tons of sugar per season.
Could Produce Large Crop.
Whatever additional scaling down may
be done on the statements submitted on
the basis of inaccuracies or mis-statements
on the part of the claimants for damages,
the fact must be patent that the holdings
by American citizens of land in Cuba. which
is or has been in cultivation, is of suffi-
cient area to produce as great a crop as the
entire island turned out this year, and this
is less than one-fourth of the total area
owned by American citizens and corpora
tons"
In this connection Mr.. Palmer said there
were other large acreages of Cuban lands
owned by outsiders which he had not IN
cluded in his list. In this excluded list ne
referred to the 100000 acres of land or
which Sir VIM. Vanhorn had informed the
committee he had come into possession.
When Mr.. Palmer concluded his state
ment the committee adjourned for the day.

opinion Mr.. Henning did not act reck-

Spokane, March 29.-The mystery

day, when she was discovered in a

COAL MINERS DO NOT STRIKE.
Agree to Continue Work Pending a
Settlement of Dispute.

New York, March 7.-Minework-
ers and mine owners of the anthra-
cite fields debated their differences
for four hours today in a conference
arranged by the conciliation commit
tee of the National Civic Federation,
but the meeting was without result,
save that the workers agreed not to
strike on April l, as decided at the
Shamokin convention. There is to be
further friendly discussion between
the two interests, and Senator Hanna
as chairman of the industrial depart
ment of the federation, was empow-
cred to call another conference at
any favorable time within the next 30
days.
The workers asked for an increase
n pay, shortening of the working
day to eight hours, and the adoption
of scale for the entire district. The
operators declined to grant the de-
mands as to the time and pay and
refused to permit the complete union
izing OF their properties. The opera
tors offered to meet employees with a
grievance at any time, but insisted
that there be no distinction between
union ad non-union men. They also
asserted that the present market con-
ditibns did not warrant any increase
in wages or decrease in working
time.
Senator Hanna, Oscar F. Straus
and Frank Duncan, a subcommittee
named by the conciliators, arranged
for the conference. The operators
present were w. H. Truesdale, presi
dent of the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western; E. B. Thomas, chairman of
the board of the Erie road; George S.
Baer of the Reading railroad, and
Robert Oliphant, president of the Del
aware & Hudson company; while the
spokesmen for the miners were John
Mitchell, president of the United
mine workers, and District Presidents
Nicols, John Fahey and Thomas
Duffy.
