Americans on Isle of Pines Resent
Action of Cubans.

Havana, September 20.-In view of
complaints from American residents
of the Isle of Pines, the government
has prohibited further search of Amer
lean homes there or other molesta-
tions. It has developed that the Amer
leans on the Isle Of Pines were ap-
preached by the insurgents and asked
to cooperate to the extent of not re-
sisting a landing by the insurgents
and their use Of the island as a base
of supplies. This the Americans re-
fused, and they declare 1t is especially
unjust to disarm them, and invade
their homes in high handed manner.
Consul General Steinhart has pre-
scented the matter to the government,
with the result that no further inter-
ference with the Isle of Pines Ameri-
cans will be permitted.

Something of Campaign Con-
MISUNDERSTANDING
Mr.. CLAYT0N'S PREDICTION

That William Jennings Bryan will be
the nominee of the democratic party, and
that he will be elected; that Speaker Jo-
seph Cannon will be the nominee of The
republican party, backed by the stand
pat protectionsts. and the benefieiaries
of the Dingley tariff bill; and that Taft
will be given a seat on the supreme court
bench was the gist of an interview with
Henry D. Clayton, congressman from the
Third district of Alabama, who arrived
In Birmingham last night.
''I am positive" said the congressman,
that Mr. Bryan Will be nominated, and
sentiment seems to tend towards his cleo
ton The republicans will either nomi-
nate Cannon or Taft, and 1 am inclined
to believe that the choice will fall upon
the former, while Taft is disposed of in
an appointment to the supreme court
bench. Cannon is a high protectionist and
will be backed by the corporations which
have profited from the Dingley tariff bill,
which, by the way, is the highest pro-
lection measure ever formulated and
passed. do not put faith in the theory
that Mr. Roosevelt will again be candi-

Congressional Forecast.
Mr.. Clayton stated that he would not
return to washington before December.
When asked what important measures
Congress would take up on reconvening,
Mr. Clayton was somewhat at a loss. Il
do not know what will be the first busi-
ness taken up by Congress" he said.
"rhe President will insist, / suppose, on
further investigation into the campaign
contribution scandal Certainly the re-
publicans should see that this is done.
do not look for an important business un-
til after the Christmas holidays"
Mr.. Clayton does not look with much
faith upon the "dollar-a head" campaign
contribution method that the republican
party has adopted. "They are simply fol-
lowing democratic precedent" he said.
81 believe that there will be campaign
contributions from other sources. 1t is
possible that the corporations benefited by
the Dingley tariff bill will see fit to help
out the good cause. 1t is possible, too,
that some of the contributions from the
last campaign are still in bank"

A comparison OF the salaries paid to
he heads OF large foreign corporations
and those drawn by the presidents OF
our own companies should lead to an
awakening on tie part Of those out OF
whose pockets these salaries must
come. For instance, the heads of ths
Bank Of England and the Bank of Ger
many. which have aggregate assets Of
over S1,00o000,OO0 together pay sal
aries to their chief officers of only ST.
SEQ annually. In this country single
individuals at the head Of financial cor
poration5 are paid several times that
amount for supervising funds ranging
from one-half to one-fifth as large.
The conditions In this country as
compared with the old world, the sharp
competition and the volume of transae-
lions may excuse salaries somewhat In
excess of those paid abroad, but the
difference should not be SO great as to
create an injustice to the great paying
public, which is disposed to be gen
crous
