CUBA WILL CEDE
NAVAL STATIONS

Washington. Feb. 60 President
Roosevelt has signed the agreement
drawn under the terms of the Plat,
amendment, providing for the acquisi-
tion by the United States of u naval
station at Guantanamo. and n coalinG
station at Bahai Hondo. both in Cuba
The document had been previously
signed by President Palma and was
brought to Washington by Minister
Squiers. 1t does not specify the price
of the properties to be acquired by the
United States and this detail is left to
be settled by the usual legal condem-
natory proceedings. after the Navy De-
partment has decided exactly the
amount of land it wishes at each place.
With these two places properly forti-
fled as naval bases. the Gulf of Mexi-
co would not be possible of occupation
by hostile fleet, and the Caribbean
sea would be unsafe for an enemy. AT
Guantanamo there will be erected eX-
tensive coal docks and perhaps short
line of railroad to connect the port
with the backbone railroad already
finished by private enterprise. Bahai
Hondo will for some time probably be
used as a place for the storage of coal.
1t is learned that the document is
not treaty. but is rather in the ma
ture of an agreement under the terms
of the Platt amendment. Therefore il
will not be necessary to submit 1t to
the Senate. President Palma. however,
deems it expedient to submit the agree
ment to the Cuban Senate, but from
the nature of the report made to Sec
retary Hay, there seems to be little
doubt that such approval is already
assured. In fact, it Is said that had
the United States so desired it might
have included the splendid bay of Nipe
on the northeast coast, in its list OF
accessions as coaling stations.

GOOD BREAD Is MADE
FROM MACCAlONI FLOUR,

WASHINGTON, May 29.--Macca-
ROM wheat bread is an article which
is likely soon to appear on the market
and to become quite popular. BY
vote OF 1917 to T6 committee of bread
experts have declared maccaroni
wheat bread to be superior to bread
made from the hes, or the ordinary
wheat -four.
Maccaroni wheat is species of
very hard wheat originally grown in
Russia and some parts of France and
Italy. 1t is peculiar In that it will
grow In very dry soil and In rigorous
climate. 1t Is used abroad for the
manufacture of paste foods such as
maccaroni. and. while much superior
to the soft wheats for this purpose,
has been supposed to be unfit for
bread.
The maccaroni wheat was intro
perts of the department of agricul-
turo. who believed IT. would be adapt
ed to the semi-arid lands of the Da-
kotas and other parts OF the west
and southwest. where the ordinary
wheats viii not grow. The SUPPOSE
tion that II would flourish in these
sections OF this country has been
years past has seen growing yield
OF maccaroni wheat. The farmers
were glad TO make use OF this waste
land to grow a profitable crop But
Il difficulty arose last year. There
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-05-29

are no great maccarino manufactur-
ing plants in the United States and
the farmer began to wonder what he
partment was asked what could be
done.
Mark II. Carleton, the wheat expert,
has believed for some time that the
maccaroni wheat could be used for
bread making. 1t is so used, to n
limited extent. in Russia, and on the
continent. when mixed with other
-four and sometimes unmixed He
determined to prove that 1t can be so
used. and for this purpose had 200
loaves made of maccaroni fieur and
an equal number OF the best ordinary
flour, The bread was baked In Wash
ineton under his personal supervis-
ion. Then these loaves were sent out
to bread experts In all the largest
cities In the United States. They went
to bakers. teachers In cooking schools,
flour inspectors, hotel chefs and 20
practical chemists and millers. The
recipients were not told which loaf
was which, but were asked to try
both and give an opinion on which
was the better. During the past few
days the results OF these Inquiries
have come I'm. The vote stands three
to one In favor OF the maccaroni
bread This Is more than was ex-
pected, All that was needed was to
prove that 1t was equal TO the ordi-
nary -four for bread making.

by negiecting to prove by the hospital
attendants and the special policeman
on guard that Spencer had been per-
fectly rational at all times. When
the rebuttal testimony came up yes
terday an attempt was made to intro
duce this testimony through Special
Officer Smith. but, as might have been
expected. the court ruled out the tes
,timony, holding that II was not re-
buttal testimony, but was along the
line of direct evidence, evidence that
the state was trying to make it's case
The state also neglected to get
proper expert medical testimony to
show that the absinthe and liquors
used by Spencer are generally used
by criminals when they are about to
commit a crime. that such narcotics
are merely used as "bracer" to the
nerves.
1t could have been easily shown
that speakers and even actors often
use a stimulant as bracer before
they appear on a public platform to
speak AS matters stood the defense
introduced ample expert testimony to
show the other effect of liquor mar
-cotics-the effect where reason is
some times dethroned-a result that
may occur once in a thousand times.
1t was these conditions that led
even some of the physicians who had
testified for the defense to remark
that the case put up by the prosecu-
tion was remarkably weak.

WRETChED WEAkNESSOF
SPENCER PROSECUTION

Wretched weakness is the general
description of the prosecution put up
by the state In the Spencer murder
case. Professional men and others
who attended the proceedings during
the week that 1t has lasted seem
agreed that the showing made by the
state was about the poorest ever put
up at a murder trial in this city.
From the first 1t was patent the
defense intended to try to prove that
Spencer was mentally irresponsible
this forewarning. the state fell la
mentally short in introducing wit
ness who could have testified that
Spencer not only boosted that he in
ter&lcd to commit murder before the
deed was committed, but that he bold
ly and openly discussed what he had
done for days after he had been adj
mitted to the Sacred Heart hospital
suffering from the wounds which he
had inflicted on himself.
To newspaper men who visited
Spencer in the hospital he discussed
the shooting ia cold blooded and
rational manner. and even went so
far several days after he had been
admitted to the hospital as to tell
some of the reporters that he was go
ing to write a story of the crime and
why he committed it. Yet the state
did not summon single reporter to
testify. -
Furthermore. when the state intro
duced its own testimony. it fell down
