Washington, Sept. 27.-Property Of
Americans in Cuba to the extent Of
$1OO.O00,0OO is at stake in the troubled
condition existing in the island. Be.

public a great quantity of American

withdrawn, but it, together with much
peaceful conditions were restored. There
Is grave danger that these large inter
ests will be seriously jeopardized by
political conditions.
If the liberal party should be success
full it would cause trouble, because it's
entire campaign has been made against
the Plat amendment. The liberals
would make am attempt to violate the
provisions of the Plat amendment.
This would certainly force the United
States to interfere to protect it's in
terests.
If the liberals are beaten, and the in
dicatiOns are that they will be, they
threaten to conduct themselves in such
an unlawful and high-handed manner
as to force the United States to con-
clude that life, liberty and property
will not be SAFE When such condi-
ton arises the president will intervene
Aside from the property interests in
Cuba, the trade between the two coun-
tries is large and if the liberals succeed
in stirring up trouble this trade will, be
lost until quiet is restored.

SCHIFF TO BE WITNESS
Money King to Take Stand in Insur-
ance Investigation.

New York, Sept. 27.-The special
legislative committee investigating the
life-insurance companies reconvened to-
day. Chairman Armstrong announced
that, owing to the serious illness of s..
Fred Nixon, speaker of the assembly,
the committee met under distressing
circumstances.

ton either today or tomorrow.

witness who was questioned on this sub
ject was Henry Rogers Winthrop, as
sistant secretary and financial manager!

whether these profits actually went into
the society's treasury.

VALUES
WILL Be LIFTED
State Board Of Equalization Cites
Public Service Corporations
to Appear Saturday.
State Officers Declare for Sub
stantial Increases Street
Railway In for It.

Higher assessments for the public SER
vice corporations of Minneapolis. St.
Paul and Duluth are advocated by Gov
ernor John A. johnson, State Auditor s.
G. Iverson and Attorney General 3. T.
Young.
All three, of these officers are mem
bers Of the state board Of equalization.
They met today with the board IS com
mittee on franchises and discussed the
problem. There is some sentiment on
the committee against any increase
over last year, but this was overruled
by the firm stand Of the state officers.
AS a result, notice was sent out to the
Twin City Rapid Transit company, the
Minneapolis Gas Light company, the
Minneapolis General Electric company,
the st. Paul Gas Light company and
the Duluth Street Railway company,
citing them to appear at 10 a. m. Satur-
day and show cause why their assess
ments should not be raised.
The attitude Of the state officers is
due in part to the Western Union fran
chise decision, which strengthens the
position Of the state in taxing fran
chises. Governor johnson and Attorney
General Young are new members of the
board, however, and start in with the
assessments. State Auditor Iverson has
always stood for them, and the COM
bined influence of the three is expected
to carry majority of the board.
The street railway interests are said
to be due for the heaviest raise, and an
increase Of two or three million on the
Twin City Rapid Transit company is
predicted. Auditor Iverson has calcu-
lated the present market value Of the
company's stocks and bonds at $50, 897,-
600, and while no one will move for a
SO per cent valuation on this basis, the
advocates of raise will maintains that
the assessment ought to be approx
mately third Of the valuation, which
would bring 1t we'll over $11 Loco, 900.
The valuations fixed by the state board
last year and the returns made by
county boards this year, are as follows:
Return for
T; 9: RI: eo;.:..... s. 9so 1927 d5s
s ass Electric
The assessment Of the Duluth Street
Railway company was returned at $780,
$50 this year.
The board held short session today
to hear the auditor Of LIE Sueur county
on the merchandise valuations Of that
county. The board then went to Still
water, where it was entertained at
lunch. This afternoon lumber assess
ments were taken NJ again. The Shev-
lin interests are Nj the war path since
the rs per cent II Sse on fBeltrami coun-
ty, and unless thu liz reduced will fight
for a big inereastbfon st. Louis county
and Carlton.
An effort will be made to finish up
the boards work Saturday afternoon
