Inclined to Stand Pat, Letting
"Well Enough Alone"

The great question of reciprocity
with Cuba still remains unsettled. The
United States Senate of Buchte col
lege made strenuous efforts Ia Roose.
welt Monday night to grant the Pearl
Of the Antilles the much desired relief,
but the powers of political prejudice
and pecuniary preferment were too
strong to be overcome. Besides, no
Quorum of the Senate was present, and
the question was not put to vote.
Only eleven of the honorable Senators
We're in their seats. No chaplain was
present Spectators were not RECALLED
with the sight of fsticuff between the
Senator from Texas and the Senator
from Indiana, though the holy decor

by the startling remark Of Mr.. Welton,
Senator from Minnesota, who in his
debate declared, ~ don't want to be
mean, but don't believe the honorable
gentleman from Alabama knows what
reciprocity is"
The discussion was conducted by the

That Hunter May Be
Acquitted
Through Friendliness Of Guata

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. 1G,-Wm.
Fitzgerald, of this city, whose son, VIM.
A. Fitzgerald. was shot in Guatemala
on Nov. 20 by the son of U. S. Min
lister Hunter. has received letters from
the friends of the hoy. The letters
hint that the slayer is being protected
and will be acquitted because of the
frlendliness of Guatemala to Minister
Hunter. The writer of one letter says;
Secretary of Legation Bailey was
talking to your son in exciting tones,
ut the same time having in his hand a
revolver, partially drawn from his
pocket Hunter Jr, stepped behind your
son and fired twice into the back of his
head and then, as he fell, two more
shots into his body as he lay dying on
the ground The murderers then ran
into the legation, but were captured by
the police and afterward released upon
the minister claiming immunity for the
secretary and his son.
Il was within hundred yards of the
pace. / saw Hunter and Bailey leave
the park, running, with revolvers in
their hands. | went to the body OF
your son and saw no revolver near
him but was informed that later the
police found one in his belt. If he had
Il revolver he never had the Opportun-
i;y to defend himself.
THE doctors who made the autopsy
say that he was killed from behind.
Bailey borrowed a revolver that morn
ing from a Kentucky friend.

Very Good
Work.
Dismissal Friday For

Expenses Connected With Run
ming the Schools.

The Akron public schools are doing
good work this year, and matters edu.
cational are moving along very smooth
ly, judging from the remarks Of Mr..
]. w. Smith, clerk Of the Board Of
Education, and others in touch with
public school affairs. To a Democrat
reporter Monday evening Mr. Smith
stated that splendid harmony exists
row, his remark indicating that this
harmony IL in strong contrast TO the
conditions that existed in some preyi.
Gus years
Mn. Smith finds Il Is quite a chore
to superintend the disbursement Of
s25O.OOO per year. Or this amount
$4,000 is for books, which the School
Board furnishes at cost TO pupils out
side Of the High school. About twice
the sum expended for books. or s12,.
600, Is spent annually for writing ma
tc rial. pencils. pens and tablets. II Is
tllese smaller disbursements and least
expensive details that require the great
est amount Of labor, and with all Of
the varied duties OF his position, Mr..
Smith does not md It difficult 10 put
In his eight hours a day.
Mr.. Smith stated that the bonded in.
debtedness of the Akron school district
this year is $4,000 This Is an in.
crease Of $4,000 over last year. Inas.
much as the Board Is erecting the new
Lane building at an additional cost n
$40, 900. and also an annex to the Henry
building. entaiing another large eX-
penditure. II can be seen that the
Board has done some fairly good inan-
cierlng to keep the bond issue for this
year so much below the cost Of the new
buildings
The Lane building is TO he one Of
the most modern. up-to-date ward
buildings in the country and will per-
petuate the name of Mr.. S. A. Lane,
an honored citizen Of Akron, for many
years.
The Akron public schools will close
next Friday, Dec. 10, for a two weeks
vacation over the holidays. The semi
annual examinations will not be held
until the middle Of January, whom the

ity with Cuba. was presented by Wei
ton minnesota, who averred that there
Is no distress in Cuba, and the United
States is under no obligation to enter
into reciprocal relations with Cuba.
In somewhat more extended remarks
Spangler CAlabama) presented the ma
iority report fnvoring reciprocity. He
declared that the majority Of the COM
mittec does not ask for free trade with
Cuba but n concession of 20 per cent
in the tariff, which it Is our moral duty
at least to grant.
Senator Warner moved that the ma
iority report he accepted. This Ques'
tion was Supplanted by motion to lay
the bill on the table. The motion was
lost and the bill came up for discussion.
Mr.. SpanglCr opened the debate with
n strong argument in favor of rcclproc
i'y, that II Is our duty to protect Cuba,
that the peace and health of Cuba are
necessary to our peace and health, that
Cuba has no market but the United
States for her products, and that the
amount Of sugar she would ship here
would not hurt our industries.
Mr.. Welton. Of Minnesota, argued
against the bill because the whole prin
CiplC Is wrong. and Cuha should cult
vate the same spirit of independence
that this country did when young. He
cited the Plat amendments ms sufli-
.Cicnt protection to Cuba, and aroused
quite discussion by quoting John
Shcman's definition of reciprocity.
While Mr. Spangcr took the chair,
Senator Carlton argued very effective.
l.. in favor of the bill. Senator War
u er also favored II, hut Senator Spicer.
(Texas) and the Senator from Ken
tucky, being Democrats, opposed tho
bill because II is n Republican measure,
The Senate then adjourned for lack
