To Allow CubanS to Hold
a National Election.
SECRETARY TAFT
In1iCates to Islanders that American
Occupation of Cuba Will Con-
tinae for Another Year.

Havana, April 9.-Secretary Taft
met the conservatives Monday after.
noon and discussed the insular stu.
ation. He said that owing to eco.
nomic conditions he considered ma.
tional election at an early date to be
unwise, and recommended that such
election be postponed until the result
of the municipal and provincial elec.
tions be known. The conservative
representatives expressed their will.
ingness to leave all to the good judg.
ment of the United States. Secretary
Taft probably will meet the conserva.
tives again on Wednesday
After this interview representatives
of all the leading banks of Cuba called
upon Secretary Taft and asked him to
give them one or two years notice be,
fore the holding of national elections
claiming that dnless this were done
the effect upon commercial conditions
in the island would be disastrous.
The bankers urged the secretary not
to change the present currency to
American money, claiming that to dc
so would increase the cost of living
12 per cent. The committee OF the
chamber of commerce spoke to the
secretary in similar vein.
There is a general impression, gath
cred from what Secretary Taft said
that the American occupation of Cuba
will last for another year at least.

Hilbert of the defunct wholesale
liquor firm OF Hilbert Bsothers and
who accompanied Mayor Schmitz to
Europe, and G. Schultz, q pool room
man.
BY questioning these witnesses, AS
sistant District Attorney Heney
sought to strengthen the charge of the
prosecution that in January, 1906, fol-
20 days succeeding the repeal by the
police commission Of the ordinance
prohibiting the operation of money
paying slot machines, large sums OF
money were paid to Ruef, Mayor
Schmitz and police officers for "con
tinued police protection" until District
Attorney Langdon cleared out the
machines under the state gambling
law.
According to an official statement
the large profits made by Schultz, who
was then an extensive owner OF slot
machines, were cut in two, half being
retained by himself and the other hall
being turned over to Hilbert for dis
tribution among those higher up"
Hilbert is the man whom the prose
cution charges with having paid Ruei
$4,000 for the exclusive privilege OF

(sentinei's SPECIAL News service)

Chicago, Oct. 22.-What gives
promise of being the most important
conference on the subject of trusts
and combinations of capital and la
Dor ever held in any country was in
augurated here today under the aus
pices of the National Civic Fedora
tion. The opening session was devot-
ed to consideration of problems in
volved in the controversy between
he federal and state governments
respecting Jurisdiction over inter-
state commerce now pending in sew
eral western and southern states.
Representatives appointed by the
governors of forty-two states and
territories. from Maine to California,
are in attendance. Nearly all nation
al labor, agricultural, commercial,
financial, economic and trade organ
izations and many chambers of COM
merce, bar associations and shippers
organizations have also sent dele
gates. Herbert Knox Smith, commits
sioner of corporations, Commissioner
+. E. Clark. of the interstate COM
merce commission, and other rep
resentatives of the government are
in attendance and will present the
case of The federal regulation of
railroads and corporations. AS be-
speaking the widespread interest in
the problems presented by the trusts
and the necessity for their regula-
ton, the delegates repreSent every
walk of life and include labor lead
ers. United States senators, congress
men, farmers, manufacturers. mer-
chants, clergymen, attorneys, educa-
tors and bankers.
Being held at a time when the en-
tire country is aroused in regard to
the control of trusts and the many
problems arising from the enforce
ment of the Sherman antitrust law
and the amended interstate COM
merce act, the conference is likely
to have a notable and far-reaching
effect in giving direction to public

MUST PAY THE COSTS

Those who signed the agreement
for prosecution of the Leon Lakes
reservoir case, some six or seven
years ago. find themselves up against
the cost of the suit with nothing
to show for their coin. Whether
the case was deliberately sold, or just
permitted to drag along until it
was dragged to death does not mat
ter now. 1t is lost, and lost for all
time; and every honest man who
signed the agreement will step up
and pay his share of the costs with
out murmur, Fortunately much of
the expense of the suit has already
been paid and the amount due from
each slgner is comparatively small.
