MAJ. RATHB0NE LOADED
He Is Presenting Charges Against
the Wood Administration
i'm Cuba.
New York Sun Special Service.

"
Washington, Feb. 12.-Major Estes G.
Rathbone, former director general Of
Cuba's postal service, has been successful
at last in procuring a partial hearing be-
foreslthe senate committee on relations
with Cuba. He was convicted Of NAL
feasance in office and sentenced by5s a
Cuban court to a. long term of zimprison-
ment After President Palma was in
augurated and the new Cuban republic
was put on it's feet,-Palma issued q proc7
larr1ation Of amnesty : freeing <Rathbone
and. other Americans who were serving
terms in Cuban prisons. ss go ss5 ..sa.a /.
Rathbone came to Washington a .Ethe
instigation of Senator Hanna to seek a
vindication at the hands Of congress.
Senator Hanna believes Rathbone has
been vigorously sacrificed by Governor
General Leonard Wood for the purpose Of
hiding eXtravagances committed by the
Wood administration. --s
Rathbone appeared before the commit
tee and submitted to Chairman Plat and
half a dozen other members of the COM
mittee a mass of docum entary evidence
not only for the purpose of establishing
his own innocence OF the charges on which
hes was convicted, but of fastening seri-
| ous-charges on the administration of Gen
| eral Wood.
! The documents relating to the Wood ad-
| ministration are numerous and compre-
! hersive and manyt of them are known to
be extremely SenSat1Onal. tlHey contain
! exhibits of loose extravaganza which are
said to be without parallel in any recent
military regime presided over by United
! States officers. They are said also to
| illuminate many contracts for various
! public works which were let by General
! Wood in an arbitrary manner to relatives
! and friends of relatives. They. charge
i generally and specifically that the
/ treasury Of the military: government OF
!. Cuba was plundered in the most reckless
! fashion.
!: 1t is known that Major Rathbone has
not presented all his evidence to the com.
/ mittee, especially that portion OF it re-
! lattng to General Woods connection with
a syndicate of gamblers which held q
| concession to carry on certain popular
| games in Havana and elsewhere.
/ Senator Hanna does not believe the
/ committee on relations with Cuba as nov
1 constituted will consent to take up Major
Rathbone's case publicly. He has reason.
4 for feeling. on the contrary. that it vii
/ not do so. because a majority Of the re
i publican members of the committee have

Incidents in the Speech.

When Mr.. Baer reached that part of
his address where he referred to the call
ing out of the steam men,-LaWyer Oar
row for the miners interrupted the speak
z er to correct him. Mr.. Baer answered
in a sentence and then continued his re-
marks on the steam men,
Then laying dawn his address and sur
veying the commissioners, Mr. Baer said
that in disputes between capital ann
labor the general public is largely in SYM
patty with labor. It is human. he said
and a good trait in the race to sympa-
thize with the weak against the strong.
and therefore, 81 can find no fault with
| the criticisms, though they are harsh,
!, that have been made against US
President Baer grew sarcastic as he told
! in detail of the negotiations before the
civic federation. The operators pocketed
| their pride, he said, and met,.in a church
building, where there were present dis
] tinguished men, %#
2 Some were bishops and some were
+idressed like bishops =. Il.
X He pictured the members of the fed
j GRAFTON sitting around, putting good CT
gars," and not saying a word while he
| and Mitchell tried to get together.
Y Speaking slowly and deliberately, he ar
/, 1aigned the federation for not giving the
} operators and the miners representatives
1.-THE small courtesy of hearing the re-
port of the committee appointed by these
I two sides, nor did it have the manly
/ courage to further help the parties In
contest. 23sszE
In the same sarcastic vein he paid his
respects to Henry Demarest Lloyd OF Chi
cago, who delivered an argument before
the commission III favor Of trade agree
mentS.
After Mr.: Baer had been speaking for
an hour he abandoned his notes and only
occasionally referred to them. Several
times his address was Interrupted py
handclapping, which was promptly sup
pressed by the chairman.
President Mitchell entered, the court
room at 1890, having just arrived from
the west A few minutes before his ar
rival President Truesdale OF the Lacka-
wanna & Western railroad came IN.
Baer Raps the Socialists.
: President Baer supplemented his re
marks on the eight hour dayaproposltlol
#bv saving that the contract miners who
work only five and six hours a day should
( not be.public pensioners and make the
CONSUMERS. the working: men who mus
have coal to keep them warnl and cool
their meals, pay the pension.
4 When he reached the proposition TO-
paying wages on the sliding scale basis
he added the statement that the compan,
will take the risk and it is great risk
he said, to Keep the present rate Of wage
in force. J.
He suggested that the federal govern
ment should give an island to the social
lists where they could go and invest so
cialistic schemes. The world would no
bother them. he said, and the countr
would be relieved Of some of its congeste
population.
In closing he said, the operators. for tn
time being, surrendered not to the miners
but to the commission. ".
Mr.. Baer closed shortly before 1 O'Clock
having spoken two hours and twenty min
utes. --' 49,
!, Mr.. Darrow began the closing address
for the miners at o'clock. He expect

CHRIsTMASsHOPPING
II is a Pleasure When One Can
Take Time and Not be
Rushed.

It Is the wise Christmas shopper,
who takes time by the forelock
and makes a pleasure of what. If
postponed until the final hour, will
prove a thing entirely different by
doing that task now. Years of ex-
perience have demonstrated to the
wise shopper that 1t Is best that the
shopping for the holidays be done
during the period Immediately fol-
lowing Thanksgiving. So great
has grown the volume of trade dur
Ing this period that the greater
merchants are now prepared for 1t
by having their complete Christmas
stocks ready for sale for a month
before Christmas. Every article
that one may find In the stores for
the Christmas trade Is on display at
this time and the prices will remain
the same.
Many a woman has come to look
with dismsy upon the Christmas
shopping. The vast crowds, the
overwolksd clerks, the confusion OF
the stocks and a hundred and one
annoying little things have ten
dency to make tour of the stores
| inst before Christmas task that Is
to be dreaded. To such can be
commended the early shopping
habit. Do your Christmas shopping
now and escape these petty annoy
ances. The stocks are fresh from
the factories aud warehouses; the
clerks have not been overworked
and lost their patience, but are
courteous and obligine; the crowds
are not so great but what one can
move with comfort and leisure; the
prices are the same. The Christmas
shoppers who buys now has the
pick of the stoci;, the time to select
what Is wanted and the intelligent
and willing aid of the clerks.
There is not a single argument
In favor of postponing the Christ
mas shopping until the last week
or day; there are dozens of them In
favor of a visit to the stores during
the next fortnight. If you want to
experience the real pleasure OF
Christmas shopping. If You want
the pick of the stocks and the time
to do 1t In, let your motto be: buy
Now"
