ISLE OF PINES TREATY LAPsEs.
Fails Of Ratification by United States
=, ~ Senate Within Time Limit.


Havana, Feb. 27.-The lapsing Of
the Isle of Pines treaty on account of
its not being ratified within the time
limit, is thought to be mainly due to
the fact that the state department at
Washington did not call attention to
the matter. It would appear that the
state department failed to remember
this time limit. The treaty was
signed in Havana July 2, 1908, and was
ratified by the Cuban senate July 16,
since when it has been pending in the
United States senate. The last con-
dition on the treaty was to the effect
that the ratifications be exchanged in
Washington within seven months OF
the date of signing.
Persons interested in securing
Americon sovereignty for the Isle OF
Pines are jubilant at this development.
holding it to be a setback which
gives additional promise Of, the final
defeat Of the proposal that the island
remain under Cuban sovereignty.

WANTED PROMPT ACTION.

Some two or three months ago, after
maintaining an afternoon connection at
Selma with the Atlantic Coast Line for
something like a score of years, the South
ern Railway put an end to the connec.
ton, and now leaves Selma about one
half hour before the train from Wilson
arrives. For twenty years, because of
the Selma connection, the people of East
ern North Carolina have been able 20
reach the capital about four O'Clock in
the afternoon. Now they cannot get here
at all except by night travel 1t is a
very great hardship and very great in
convenience. one that ought not to be Fer
mitted if the travelling public have any
rights which railroads are bound to re-
spect.
When the connection was broken, the
Corporation Commission took the matter
up. The authorities of the Southern Rail
way, with their accustomed 1.-The people
be ID swagger said the connection
could not be made unless the Atlantic
Coast Line could get their train into
Selma earlier. The authorities of that
system said it could not be done then
They asked till the annual November
meeting to ascertain what could be done.
Nothing was done at that meeting Now
the plan is to wait till late in this month
for the Atlantic Coast Line to see if it
cannot make some arrangements. At that
time, if it cannot agree to do the whole
business of accommodating the public, ap-
pi:cation will be made for some other
delay. If the Commission listens to ex
cuses. reasons and pretexts the postpone
r,ent will go on indefinitely. That's one
method of wearing out the public pa.
thence.
The duty of the Corporation Commits
sion, when connection was broken the first
day, was to order the Southern Railway
to continue it's old schedule. and then
to have notified both roads that they
must make the connection. Pending the
proper adjustment, the Commission should
have permitted no break IN the connec-
ton, if they have any power in the prem
Uses. But, having permitted the break
that has wrought much inconvenience ana
expense to thousands of people, its plain
duty now is to act promptly, and issue
peremptory order that on and after
January 8, the Selma connection shall
be made. There is no sense or reason
in further delay unless the Commission is
going to let the railroad authorities run

Especial to News and Observer


Salisbury, N. c., Jan. Information
was brought here today that two young
white men were arrested yesterday at
Cooleemee Junction, Davie county, on tne
charge Of breaking into and robbing a
Southern Railway freight car which mad
been placed on a siding at that place. IL
is learned that the detective who worked
up the case located the guilty parties
through some young women employed IN
the Cooleemee cotton mills, with Wnom
the two young men, whose names coulld
not be ascertained, had fbeen associatlng
Among the articles stolen from the car
was case of chewing gum and bucket
of candy. A supply of the goods was FUR
nished to the girls who gave the ROBBERS
away. They have been placed in jail
awaiting the next term of court.
In connection with the arrest OF S. L.
Helms, agent of the Southern Railway at
oodleaf, for burning the depot at that
place, it is learned that brakeman named
Crawford, who lived near there, has also
been arrested as an accomplice OF Helms.
The latter had been agent at Woodleaf
only a few months and there is an alleged
shortage in his accounts of about $780,
press Company and was bonded in an in
dempity ana guaranty company for $500
in each capacity. 1t is understood that
his bondsmen will make the shortage
good Helms was bound over to the next
term of court under a $500 bond, which
was given by his father, who lives in
Mecklenburg county. While the evidence
aaginst Helms is very damaging, a coun-
ter claim is made that he can prove an
ailbi, as he was in attendance at lodge
meeting only q few minutes before the
fire was discovered at the depot.
The barn of DR.. r. Eames, near this
city, was fired Tuesday by a crowd of
rowdy boys, this being the second time an
attempt has been made to burn the same
barn. This time the fire was discovered
before it had gained Roadway and was
extinguished by some men who happened
to be passing the premises. The boys
have not yet been arrested.
Two southbound freight trains collided
at Glass, a small station few miles south
of this place, yesterday morning. 1t is
learned that the foremost one had pulled
into the siding in order to let No 80, the
northbound passenger and express, pass.
While on the siding another southbound
freight approached at rapid rate of speed
and before it could be stopped, ran into
the first train, doing considerable damage
to the engine and derailing several cars.
The engineer and fireman escaped only

was soon cleared by the wrecking crew

the man of the proved courage of his con-
