DON'T WANT CUBA
Senators Lodge, Hale and PIatt
Opposed to Inviting Cuba
into the Union.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Senator
Newlands' resolution inviting Gu
ba to enter the American Union
as state and annexing Porto Rico
to her as county, called forth an
interesting debate in the Senate,
in which the republican Senators,
Lodge, Hale and Plat of Connec-
ticut, opposed the measure, claim
ing that it would expose the coun-
try to the charge of breaking faith
with Cuba because an invitation to
her would be looked upon as q
command.
The resolution caused good
deal of comment in Cuba and Po-
to Rico, and it appears that most
of the Cubans, except the Spanish
residents and large business inter
ests of the island, were not in fav-
or of it. President Palma said that
the island was getting on very well
as it was and did not desire annex
alton. The people of Porto Rico
also were opposed to the plan of
a union with Cuba. No doubt they
aspire to statehood and feel that
their chances would not be increas-
ed by thus becoming a county of
the State of Cuba. Senator New
lands argued the immense benefit
Cuba would receive from free trade
with the United States and the
stability which her finances would
acquire as state of the Union.
In speaking against the resolution
Senator Platt, who is the author
of the Plat amendmant, which was
incorporated in the constitution of
Cuba, said, Il think that our re-
lations with Cuba have been mis-
understood. | do not think that we
are exercising and protectorate ov-
err Cuba. | do not think that we
have even constituted ourselves
the guardian of Cuba or made Gu
ba our ward. Senator Lodge con-
tradicts this statement by saying,
I'VE have all the control in mil
itary point of view and political

get in its work on the men who
have muscular, instead of mental
ability. The same rule operates
the same way in farming. A young
man, who knows how, and why

have to content himself with a

Think Salaries Too Small.

Washington, Nov. 29.-There is
a general feeling among represen-
tatives that their salaries are not
sufficient TO maintain the position
of congressman according to the
needs of the present day.
Representative Ball of Texas re-
signed his seat a few dogs ago, Civ
ing as his reason that he could not
afford to stay in congress. John
r. Thayer of Massachusetts ex-
poets to resign for the same reason.
There have been efforts from
time to time to increase the sala-
ries of representatives. The lead
ers of the movement maintain that
low salaries keep the offices in the
hands of the wealthy; that a high
salary opens the doors of congress
to brains, and a low salary opens
them to wealth. "
The last attempt to increase con-
gressional salaries occurred in

AGAINST FAITH CURE.
a Bill to Prohibit Christian Science
introduced in the New Hamp-
shire LEGISLATURE.

Concord, N. II, Tan. 31s-The bill to
prohibit the practice Of Christian
Science, which has just been introduced
In the New Hampshire legislature is de-
clared to have been instigated by the
so-called regular" practitioners of
medicine in this state. Its fate, of
course, is problematical, but the fact
that Mrs. Eddy, the founder Of Chris
ian science, has made her home here
for years, and that Concord Is on that
account the mecca of the sect, makes 1t
certain that the scientists will make an
effort against it's passage. The text OF
the bill is:
Section !, 1t shall be unlawful to prac-
tee Christian Science, faith cure, mind
healing or other like agencies in the cur
ing of diseases.
Sec. Amy person convicted OF any of
The practices mentioned in section 1 shall
FOR the first offense be fined $50; for the
second offense 500, and for each subse-
1uent offense suffer Imprisonment in jail
Tor not less than six months.
Sec. 8. In case any treated by any So
called Christian Scientists, faith cure or
mind healer should die. and 1t is proved
that said death resulted or was hastened
BY failure to call a regular physician, said
Christian Scientists, faith curist or mind
healer shall be deemed guilty of man
sla ughter and punished as the statutes
provide.
The bill was read twice and then re-
ffrred to the committee on the ju-
dietary. Just when that committee will
report upon 1t is uncertain, but that 1t
will be the subject Of lively debate
when 1t Is reported Is assured.

THOMAS CUTS OFF SON
Youth Who Figured in Chicago Divorce
Case Gets Interest From 100000

New York, Jan. 31.-Harold Edgar
Thomas, son of General Samuel
Thomas, has been cut off in his fathers
will with the income from $10O, 900.
General Thomas will was filed for pro-
bate al White Plains. A reasonable
estimate places his fortune at $15, 000,-
300. He died January IL. The will
speaks thus of the allowance made to
his son:
u make no further provision for my
son Harold, because his condition, men,
tally and physically, is such that he is
incapable Of managing his own affairs"
Harold Edgar thomas was formerly a
resident of Chicago, where he figured in a
sensational divorce case. His career has
been a succession of scraDes. He was
educated at Amherst, but as a student got
into so many difficulties that the general
sent him west in the hope of taking the
ton and liberal allowance brought many
associations, principally of a fast char
acter. When the general learned Of this

morning he was found dead, having com

1t was undoubtedly ibis marriage that
caused General Thomas to leave so small
