were unavailing, they Immediately set up
a wall which has been reverberating ever
since There Is little doubt that much OF
TIE stuff that is being printed about the
alleged desperate needs of the island Is
grossly exaggerated, but 1t is plain that
conditions are by no means as favorable
as they might be. This point will appear
in a somewhat clearer light by the time
congress reassembles, when 1t will be pos
sible to see just what has been the result
of the failure of the administrationists to
pass the so-called reciprocity bill.
One Democrat who favors annexation is
Representative Newlands, of Nevada, who
early in the last session introduced reso-
lutions inviting Cuba to become part or
the United States first as an organized
territory under the constitution, with the
assurance of ultimate statehood Mr..
Newlands Is member of the ways and
means committee, and while he did not
agree with Representatives Cooper, OF
Texas, or Robertson, Of Louisiana, both
of whom signed minority reports In oppo-
sition to the majority report recommend
ing a reduction of Is per cent in the tarins
on Cuban sugar, he did sign a report con-
siderably different from that Of the ma
jority.
1T have never doubted that Cuba would
be in Distress" said Mr.. Newlands in dis
cussing the matter today, unless the
abled to receive in some degree the ad-
vantage Of the Increased price paid by the
American consumer as the result OF our
tariff. The difBculty with Cuba is that
her large plahtations are and have been
heavily mortgaged for years, and that the
rescue of the sugar planters from general
Iiouidation depends upon their receiving
an increased price for sugar. This hqui-
dalton may take place during the coming
year, and all the large estates / have men
toned may be sold. The mere change OF
ownership of the plantations as the result
of the indebtedness of their owners would
do no great injury were 1t not Tor the
consequent disturbance in the employment
of labor. During the last season the wages
of labor increased nearly SO per cent as a
result Of the extraordinary demand for
laborers on sugar plantations, and they
will undoubtedly feel the drop In wages
caused by changed conditions. / have no
doubt that the new government there VIII
experience a severe trial.
1.-THE political union Of Cuba with the
United States" Mr.. Newlands continued,
would mean free trade, and that would
mean SOS, 900 900 more annually for Cuba's
sugar crop than she at present receives.
II was with this in view that /, early In
the session, introduced resolutions invit-
ing her to become a part OF the United
States"
While. as before stated, It is not likely
that Mr. Newlands will find many Demo-
Gratis who agree with him, his views are
given consideration because every one be-
lieves he is sincere and conscientious in
his views on the question.

ACTOR, BEF0REA MIRROR,
KILLS HIMSELF WITH PISTOL

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July ga Scimitar
special from Helena, Ark, says:
The body of a white man supposed to
be s. r. Gayord. of Los Angeles, Cal.
was found last night under tree below
the city with a bullet hole through the
head.
On the tree was a mirror that had been
used by Gayord In aiming the shot that
ended his life, and near the body was
the weapon, a 44-calibre bulldog revolver.
Gayord came to Helena yesterday morning
and registered at Koeln hotel as being
from Iowa, but all his clothing bear marks
OF Los Angeles merchants. In his grip at
the hotel was found a paper Of the Gar
rick Dramatic school at Los Angeles,
which leads to the belief that he was
broken down actor, a belief which Is
helped out by the mans appearance, he
being about 60 years old and wore white
mustache and weighed about $50 pounds.

CHICACOJUDGE
FIRES JURY
IN CASE
TRIAL OF ANDREWS, CHARGED
WITH WRECKING BANK, POST
P0NED BECAUSE JUDGE DIS
MISSED ALL THE JURORS.

DETROIT, Mich, July S.-Judge Alfred
j. Murphy, Of the recorders court, Gre
ated a sensation in the early proceedings
today for the trial OF Frank G. Andrews,
former vice president Of the wrecked City
Savings bank, which began this morning.
by dismissing the entire panel Of Jurors
drawn for the July term of court. Judge
Murphy said in explanation Of his action:
Owing to the fact that have received
certain Information Affecting members OF
the Jury summoned to appear in this court
today, consider 1t proper, In the interest
of justice, for the sake of the defense as
well as for the people, to discharge all the
Jurors summoned for the rest Of this term.
believe this action will be approved by
all the honest and intelligent Jurors. 1t
will relieve them from all suspicion that
might be aroused through the informa-
ton to which have referred"
While 1t has not developed in court, 1t
has been rumored that several OF the
members Of the jury were very friendly
with some of Frank C.. Andrews close
personal associates. These are the rumors
that Judge Murphy undoubtedly referred
to- However, he will not go into partic-
ulars. 1t was agreed today by counsel for
the defense that F. c. Andrews should be
tried at once on the last preferred OF the
several charges against him, that Of mis-
appropriating 5000 of the City Savings
banks funds. with the stipulation that
trial on the other charges be deferred,
together with the seperate trial Of former
Cashier Henry R. Andrews, to Septem-
Der g.
Andrews attorneys answered that the
ruling of the court in regard to the Jurors
took them by surprise, and entered an
exception. The hand was then shown by
moving that the Indictment be quashed
on the ground that the prosecuting attor-
ney had not set up a proper case. 1t was
declared that the information was faulty
in number Of particulars which he spec
flied.

doctors bills and travel, but was the
means Of making me a we'll man.
