DEATH OF HARLAN P. HALL.
THE VETERAN NEWSPAPER MAN
DIES SUDDENLY OF
HEART FAILURE.
His Life Has Been an Active One
Was Founder of The ST. Paul Dis
patch and Globe-Passed Away on
the Anniversary of His Wedding.

st. Paul, April LIBRARIAN P. Hall,
who founded two newspapers in st.
Paul and was identified in the early
history of every other one of any
Importance in that city, died sudden
ly at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
while sitting in the Office of DIR.
George M. Coon in the Lowry arcade.
Mr.. Hall, who was nearly 20 years

ISLE OF PINES IS CUBA'S
RULING MADE BY THE UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT.
Affirm Decision of Lower Tribunal in
Case Arising from Importa-
ton of Cigars.

Washington, April 9.-That the Isle
of Pines is not American territory
was officially and judicially declared
Monday by the supreme court of the
United States. The decision was rem
dered in the famous case of Edward
j. Pearcy VS.. Nevada N. Stranahan,
collector of the port at New York, and
the opinion of the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice Fuller, who
said that up to the Paris treaty the
Isle of Pines had been considered as
an integral part of Cuba and that it
could not be held to be covered by
article 2 of that treaty which included
only islands in the vicinity of Porto
Rico.
The case originated in connection
with the importation of few boxes of
cigars by Pearcy in September, 1908,
time to time postponed in the hope
that the status of the island might be
definitely fixed by legislation or diplo-
macy. The cigars were made in the
Isle of Pines of tobacco grown there
and when they arrived Pearcy refused
to pay duty, on the ground that they
were of domestic origin. The collec-
tor thereupon seized them, and Pear
cy appealed to the United States cir
cult court, where he secured no relief,
as the court sustained a demurrer
filed by the government and dismissed
the case. He promptly brought the
case to the supreme court where the
decree of the lower court was af-
firmed.
That fugitive from justice in the
United States who has been extradited
from Canada on one charge can not be
imprisoned on another charge was de-
cided Monday by the supreme court
of the United States in the case of
Charles G. Browne. an appraiser of
merchandise at New York, who three
years ago was indicted and convicted
in connection with frauds discovered
in connection with the importations
of Japanese silks. The opinion of the
court was delivered by Justice Peck
ham and affirmed the decision of
Judge Hough sitting in the circuit
court for the southern district of New
York, who ordered Brownies release
on writ of habeas corpus

TAFT TALKS WITH CUBANS.
Tells Them Election at Early Date
Would Be UnWise.

Havana, April 9.-Secretary of War
Taft met the conservatives Monday
afternoon and discussed the insular
situation. He said that owing to eco
nomical conditions he considered a
national election at an early date to
be unwise, and recommended that
such election be postponed until the
result of the municipal and provincial
elections be known.
The conservative representatives
expressed their willingness to leave
all to the good judgment of the Unit
ed States. Secretary Taft probably
will meet the conservatives again on
Wednesday.
After this interview representatives
of all the leading banks of Cuba called
upon Mr.. Taft and asked him to give
them one or two years notice before
the holding of national elections, as
sorting that unless this were done the
effect upon commercial conditions in
the island would be disastrous.

Minnesota, where he arrived Oct. 6,
1862. His first daily newspaper ex-
perience was on Nov. 8, 1862, on the
ST. Paul Union, which was first issued
on that date, and published by the
late Frederick Dristoll. The ed
itorial staff consisted of Mr.. Driscou
and Mr.. Hall.
In March, 1868, the Union was con-
solidated with the Press, and Mr..
Hall continued with that paper until
1865, when, with the Davidsons, he
continued with that paper until 1858,
and then went into the printing bust
ness with David Ramaley. On Feb.
%, 1868, Mr.. Hall launched the St.
Paul Dispatch. In 1876 he sold the
Dispatch, and Jan. Is, 1878, he issued
the first number of the ST. Paul Globe
as morning Democratic newspaper.
He conducted the Globe until Feb
ruary, 1885. Meanwhile he had been
conducting ready-print establish
ment, and he continued in this business
until 1887. From then until 1893 he
occupied various positions in the daily
newspaper offices. Then for time he
was business manager of the Globe and
later publisher of the Call. Mr.. Hall
founded ST. Paul Trade, periodical
publication devoted to the jobbing
and manufacturing interests of his
city and it was only few years ago
that he retired from it's manage
ment.
All his life Mr.. Hall was active in
the public aft fairs of ST. Paul, and no
man of his generation may be said to
have spent more time or energy in
that service of the public which
brings no direct remuneration and but
little reward in gratitude. He was
prominent in nearly all of the COM
mercial organizations of st. Paul and
was one of the leading spirits in the
Minnesota State Editorial association.
Mr.. Halls surviving family consists
of son, Harlan W., who is now in
Pasadena, and one daughter. There
is also one brother, HI. R. w. Hall of
st. Paul, and a nephew, Smith B. Hall.

This Noisy World.

"They that govern the most" saith
John Selden, following Marcus Aurel.
ius, make the least noise" Perhaps
we may say to our legislators, they
that govern best permit the least Of
unnecessary noise. There has been
some official response to the demands
of wakeful citizens and their physi-
clans that night in the cities should be
less racked by the din of whistles and
bells. A few cities have suppressed
chimes and engine whistles during
the night-watches. In Massachusetts,
the railroad commissioners have for
hidden whistling at certain railroad
crossings over a large part OF the
state. The efforts of Mrs. Isaac Rice
to muffle the voices of the tugboats
have borne some fruit of silence. She
is at the head of Society for the
Suppression of Unnecessary Noise"
Largely in response to the demands Of
this society, congress has recently en-
powered the board of supervising in
spectors of the steamboat inspection
service to establish regulations gov
erning the use of whistles as signals
by steam vessels and prohibiting use
less and unnecessary whistling. The
board has already forbidden unneces-
sary whistling in certain harbors, and
is considering the possibility of sub
shutting melodious whistles for such
as torture the ear. Various bills to
suppress noise have been presented
in state legislatures and city councils,
but legislating has not gone far, says
Youths Companion. 1t will take time
for the idea to spread. Anyone who
can understand why tan-bark is laid
on the street near house where
person lies i'll, may in time learn that
even when we are apparently in good
health We may suffer grievously from
noise.

Ladies who wear aigrette plumes or
other feathered adornments would do
well to ascertain whether such prac-
tees are contrary to law Some states
forbid the killing of birds or the use
of plumage in the manner suggested.
One of these states is Louisiana, and
a stern judge down that way has just
imposed on a New Orleans merchant
a sentence of $50 fine or 60 days i'm.
prisonment for selling plumes. OF
course, the southern judge was too
gallant to make a first example of
ladies who bought the feathers, but
he warns them that the practice is
illegal. And doubtless the tender
hearted portion of humanity will now
be prompt to suppress custom which
has been judicially pronounced in
humane.

The Woods In Old Violins.

The old masters used such care in
the selection of the woods for their in
struments that, having found piece
of wood of proper fiber and vibration
al powers, they treasured every frag-
ment, no matter how small; and,
rather than waste even particle OF
such a strip, they frequently con-
structed the backs and bellies OF
patches so delicately put together that
1.-The seams are only discoverable by
microscope, so perfect is the cabinet
work" 1t was ever the aim of the
old masters to marry the back OF
hard sycamore, which produces the
quick vibrations, and the belly of soft
wood, producing the slower sound
waves, in such a manner as to give
the mellow but reedy timbre of the
perfect instrument. Anatomically, a
violin made by an old master is a
miracle of construction, remarks Eliz-
abeth Mitchell Stephenson, in Circle
Magazine; it can be taken to pieces,
patched, put together, repaired indefi-
nitely, and is almost indestructible
Repairing has been the means of ex-
posing many clever forgeries. The in
side of violin made by Stradivari,
Guarnerius, or other old master is as
perfectly finished as the outside, and
betrays an imitation at once.
