GEN. BRAGG MAY
BE RECALLED FROM
POST AT CUBA

1t will be interesting to Manitowoc
people to know that Consul Il. S. Bragg
at Havana may be recalled from that
post for having written of the Cubans,
as published in Chicago. that Uncle
Sam might as well try to make n whistle
out of pigs tail as to try to do any
thing with these people.
This expression appeared in II letter
from General Bragg to his wife at
Fond du Lac, Wis, and somehow
found it's way into print.
According to the usual form of diplo-
matte procedure the United States, on
complaint of the government concerned,
would refuse to keep n consul general IN
. post if he had made such comment
upon the people IA to render himsel.
persona non grata. He would first be
given an opportunity to deny or ex-
plain.
Senor Quesada was not in Washing
ton Sunday and it con ld not be learned
wnethe.~Or not he had been notified of
the incident by his government or in
structed to take any action in the case
It is not likely, however, that it has yet
come to his attention There is some
ground for belief that the comment may
be resented by the Cuban government
He was Arrested Ralph Salverson

Bearing name on his coffin plate
under which he would never be rec

as Hungry joe" was carried TO his
grave not long ago. After suffering
from Bright's disease for four or five
weeks the Notorious confidence man
died in an apartment house in New
York city. Known variously under
the names of Joseph Lewis, George
Howard, Francis Aivaney and Others
the name under which Hungry joe
was bapaized he kept carefully guard

For quarter of a century Hun
CRY joe was one of the most con-
-spieuous figures in criminal life. He
was known wherever the English
language was spoken, but could take
care of himself in the French or Ger

"a man of wonderful polish, easily
made friends of his victims and sp-
parently succeeded for many years
IN duplng even the police.
When former Capt. Alexander Will

Dunko steerers" out of the district.
He also told Joe" TO stay away from
the district or he would have him
locked up. every time he was seen.
Joe smiled. but the next day he was
met by Williams summing himself in
front of a Broadway theater. When
asked what he meant, he said:
well, every gentleman must take
his constitutional, and no gentleman
would walk elsewhere than on Broad
way"
Nothing has ever been learned of
Hungry Joe's birthplace or early life.
