Henry J.. Sussman was today indicted

WORK FOR ANNEXATION
Foreign Residents In Cuba Start Move
ment to Join u. s..
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Havana, Oct. 2.-An important move
ment in connection with the coming
Cuban election has started among the
foreign residents. They all want an
nexation or permanent American oc-
cupation in the form of protectorate,
find they believe one proposition or the
other can secure the votes of enough
Cubans owning property to enable them
get it to vote.
a league is forming to urge the pro-
visional government to allow the sub
mission to the people at the next cleo.
ton Of these three propositions:
ssShall Cuba remain under a purely
native governmental "a
"Shall it be annexed to the United
States9'
"shall it have government under

It is said that all persons with prop.
erty will vote for one Of the last two
propositions and that they will be able
to influence so many native votes that
one of them will be carried. This, Of
course, means that all foreign resi-
dents shall be allowed to vote on the
propositions, which they are prevented
from DONG Dy law. IL IS urged tnaC.
with a provisional government it is
possible to SO order, as many Of it's
acts have to be legalized by the next
congress-. It is also held that under the
following words of Mr.. Taft's procla-
nation an opportunity was left to hand
over the country to the Americans in
Just this way: And then to hold such
elections as may be necessary to de-
termine those persons upon whom the
permanent government Of the island
shall be devolved.
It was, in fact, this phrase that gave
the organizers Of the league the idea
of what was made to grow into an
important, far-reaching political move
ment. MI. Taft probably will pass the
throp, who will be guided by the at
titude of Washington. AS to the pop
ularity Of the idea here there is no
doubt.

BUY TEXAS TRACT
TO RAISE DU2UM
Northwestern Grain and Land
Men Have Closed a Big
Deal,

A syndicate Of northwestern land and
grain men has purchased from the
Southern Pacific railroad $4,000 acres
of land In Texas and will put the entire
acreage into durum or macaroni wheat.
Minneapolis men are said to be inter-
ested, but their names are withheld.
Grant Robinson of St. Paul, who lives.
at White Bear lake and is president Of
the American-Canadian Land Co., put
thru the deal. The price paid for the
land is not stated, but as it lies near
Valentine, a station on the Southern
Pacific in Preside county. in extreme
southwestern Texas, about one hundred
miles east and south Of Ell Paso and
near the Mexican line, in country
where there is little agriculture and
which was once classed as "desert,D it
IS supposed that it was acquired at a
low price.
This purchase has no connection with
the Minneapolis holdings Of Texas
lands which lie near Plainfeld in Hale
county on the new wellington lbu-
querque extension of the Santa Fe road,
and were acquired some eighteen
months ago by G. F. Piper, E. G. War
ner and Walter Douglas.
s. Big Factor In Trade.
Relative to grain production, the
Robinson deal is the most important
development in the American grain
trade since the opening Of the Canadian
west. In a sense it is experimental.
There would seem no reason Why mac
aron1 wheat could not be raised in
western Texas. If it can, a new factor
will have entered the trade. -.
First, and perhaps, the most impor-
tant effect, considered in the broader
economic view, will be the enhance
ment of land values. If twenty to
thirty bushels Of durum wheat can be
produced on land that is now given
over to grazing or not used at all, a
| new basis for the measurement of land
values will exist. This influence has
operated for increased valuation in the
| northwest and would probably have
the same effect southwest. , .s.
Durum to Cut More Figure.
! Another consideration is the prob
ability Of an increase in the production
Of durum wheat in the next few years
that will make the crop of great i'm
portance. This year there is estimated
to be 45,00O,000 bushels Of durum in
Minnesota, North and South Dakota.
the production having jumped from 49,
and from less than 100000 only five
years ago.
Farmers have gone into it nearly
everywhere. There is overproduction as
a later possibility. The northwest, so
far, has found profitable sale for all of
it. The tendency towards increased
acreage is still on here, and should the
southwest find it successful the produc.
ton five years hence might be very
much larger. The Questions of finding
q market for it and Of the possibility OF
its greater use by American millers
would then become vital. ~

Geneva, Oct. 2.--The mutilated bodies
of four Alpine tourists have been found
on Plan Neve glacier at the base Of the
precipitous mountain, Don't de Morcies,
which. is 1855 feet high.
AS three parties, each numbering
four persons, are known to have been
climbing in that neighborhood on Sept.

counted for, the identity of those who
persisted is uncertain. It is believed
the victims are Swiss students, gho
started without guide, laughing at
the warnings Of experienced climbers.
Indications are that one person
slipped in dangerous place and
dragged down the others by the rope
connecting all members Of the party.
All slid for fifty yards down an ice

the glacier. Every large bone was
