SHALL UNCLE SAM
KEEP ISLE OF PINES

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 26-Captain
]. L. Pearcy, of this city, has just re-
turned from a stay of several months
in the Isle of Pines, which under a
treaty now pending before the senate,
it is proposed to cede to the Cuban
republic.
This course, Captain Pearcy says,
is violently opposed by the American
residents of the island who have put
their money in Pine Island, own prac.
tically all of it, and form at least two
thirds of the population. The Amer
lean residents will ask for hearing
before the senate committee in ad
vance of any report on the treaty. In
the meantime the secretary of state is
asked to withdraw the treaty.
Captain Percy says the Isle of Pines
Is the greatest natural winter resort
In the world. The waters of Rosario
sprlngs, he declares, are unrivaled
While not well known they are said
to possess most remarkable curative
properties.

IMMIGRATION
IS CONSIDERED
By National Civic Federation,
Some Members of
Which Hold
coon IMMIGRANTS ARE NEEDED

New York, Sept 26.-The National
Civic Federation met here today for a
two days session in which the immi-
grafton question viii be thoroughly
considered. Nearly every state of the
Union is represented by delegates. In
his opening address Mr.. Ralph NJ.
Easley, chairman of the national eX-
ecutive committee, pointed to the fact
that the demand in certain quarters
for a restriction of immigration was
based upon misunderstanding of eX-
listing conditions. He said that the
best interests of the country and its
development demanded rather an in
crease in immigration of the right
kind.
Mr.. Easley referred to the statistics
given out by the New York Civic Fed
Grafton which showed that not only
immigration did not increase in pro
portion to the population, but also
that 95 per cent of the immigrants
were desirable people. He said that
the chairman of the board of agricul-
ture, recently appointed by Governor
Higgins, visited Ellis Island a short
time ago and told immigration Com
missioner Watchorn that in New
York state alone there are about 12,-
600 farms lying idle for the want of
people to cultivate them. Similar
conditions exist in most of the east
ern and southern states and to a much
higher degree in the eastern states.
The latest statistics from the immi-
grafton department show that during
the last year the number of Italians
who left the United States exceeded
by eight thousand those who came
here.
An effort will be made in this con-
ventiOn to agree on some method of
promoting the immigration Of desira-
bile persons and, at the same time, to
| exclude those who are not desirable
for some reason.

". A. HAWKINS INTERESTS
CENTER In Ell PASO

El Paso attorneys were somewhat
surprised upon reading the Times tel
egram from Albuquerque announcing
the election of w. A. Hawkins, OF the
law firm of Hawkins & Franklin, to
the presidency of the New Mexico Bar
association, as they had to some ex-
tent come to think of that gentleman
as a resident of FL Paso. The Times
has always enjoyed the intimate
friendship of Mr.. Hawkins. In fact,
he was the city editor of the Times
away back in the strenuous days OF
El Paso, consequently this paper felt
no hesitancy in asking him for state
ment as to his place of residence, and
received this answer:
81 am, of course, citizen of New
Mexico and have been for twenty
years and more and my residence has
always been there. For many years,
however, | have been connected with
the legal department of corporations
centering in El Paso. but engaged in
building up the material resources of
New Mexico, rendering it necessary
for me to he here a great deal of my
time. FL Paso is the natural center
for all of southern New Mexico, where,
have always lived. Ell Paso Times

MUCH BUSINESS
BEFORE SECRETARY

Washington, D. c., Sept. 26.-Secre-
tary of War Taft will find plenty to
occupy him when he returns to Wash
ington. OF course, the canal with its
rumOrs of steaings, factional fights
among members of the commission
and employees, mismanagement and
incompetence will take the leading
place.
Congressional investigation seems
hard to avoid. and for this, among
other matters, the secretary will have
a scant two months to prepare.
Free trade with the Philippines, the
Chinese boycott and the anti-canteen
law will also form important ques-
tiOns for the substance of reports to
be transmitted to congress.
In addition to all this, it is reported
that the secretary cOntemplates deal

who have been dragged into the Tag

SPENT FORTUNE AND
THEN KILLS HIMSELF

Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 26-George
Fawn, formerly a Phoenix sausage
maker, but lately of Douglas, Ariz.,
committed suicide near this city by
throwing himself before fast NOV
ing train on the Maricopa & Phoenix
railroad. He started 10 walk from
Tempe to Phoenix, but before leay-
ing the former town, remarked that
he would as soon be dead as alive.
When he had walked a few miles
he met a passenger train, whose crew
saw that he beheld the train He
stood by the track until the train was
very close, and then threw himself in
front of il. He was struck on the
head, and died just as the train, which
stopped and picked up his body, pulled
into Tempe.
Fawn came TO this city from Cali
fornia. Later, he inherited a fortune.
1t is believed that he spent all of this
money and dependency over his con-
dition caused the rash act.
