Washington Especially Secretary
of War Taft and party arrived at
the Washington Navy Yard on board
the Mayfower Monday night after an
absence of exactly a month on a
trip that included Panama, Cuba and
Porto Rico. The Secretary and Mrs.
Taft were Immediately driven to
their residence. Former Governor
Of Porto Rico Beekman Winthrop
and Mrs Winthrop were guests of
the Secretary on the return trip. The
others in the party included Repre-
sentative Burton, of Ohio, and De
Almond, of Missouri; Senator Kit
tredge, of South Dakota, and Miss
Margarie Ide.
The party arrived shortly after IL
O'Clock. Later Secretary Taft gave
out a statement in which he says he
found matters in Cuba "'in what un-
der the circumstances must be con-
sidered a very satisfactory condi-
tion;" that there is every ground
for hope that the plan adopted for
CELSIUS, preliminary elecJlOu anu
then general election six months
later will result in the selection of
a president and congress who will
be able to maintain themselves and
give stable rule to the island, and
that the delay in taking a census is
taken by the Cuban as an earnest
of the American governments de-
sire TO secure a stable government
before it leaves 80 there shall be
no excuse for a second Intervention"
He says that in Panama the en-
gineers reported to him that the
foundations for the sites of the locks
were entirely satisfactory.

BREWER ON "MONEY MANIA" {"
Justice Reads Sermon To Lawyers
In New York Address.

New YORK Especially Justice
Davis J. Brewer, of the United States
Supreme Court, read a sermon for
lawyers before the Ethical Culture
Society Sunday morning at Carnegie
Hall. He deprecated turning the
court room into "a mere arena in
which intellectual athletics meet,
striving simply to trip and throw
each other" and said that rightly
practised the business of the law was
one of the bulwalks of justice in a
free State.
The Supreme Court justice men
toned no names when he dwelt up
on the iniquity of a man who was
afflicted with the money mania and
who hired attorneys to do work for
him which was within the letter of
the law, even while it flagrantly
fiaunted justice.
Money mad" was the criticism
placed upon a gentleman who per-
sonally, socially, and in the ordinary
affairs of life was kind and consid-
crate in his treatment of his en-
ployes, generous, generally, and, ac-
cording to purely legal standards,
honest, but in the domain of busi-
ness had acted apparently upon the
theory that whatever is not positive
ly prohibited by law is morally right,
and so in many ways, some of which
were certainly open to criticism, had
accumulated large property.
THAT man will seek tho brainest
counsel" continued the justice in his
arraignment of the anonymous one,
"one who can advise corruptly as to
the precise limits of the law, but
his only thought of brains and knowl-
edge of the lawyer who best answers
that thought will get employment and
compensation corresponding to the
pecuniary returns which follow the
advice"

London (By Cable) Writing from
the Russian famine district, DIR. Ken
nard, who was sent by the Society of
Friends to investigate conditions
among the peasantry, draws an ap-
palling picture of the suffering. At
ter calling attention to the urgent
and immediate need Of funds, he
says:
This is the worst famine Russia
has known. No less than 20.000,00O
people distributed throughout the
Southeastern Provinces cannot live
without aid to see another harvest,
and l may say that this figure has
been not only approved by the Zemst-
vo organization, but also by the gov
ernment itself.
The date of the harvest will vary
with the latitude, and the famine
stricken region is spread over such
a wide area GIVE times the size of
France) that more than 10 degrees
of latitude are involved. This means
that in direct proportion from south
to north the harvest will be from
July 3 to % (new style).
Black Bread for Babes.
ut will be seen that funds will be
needed to the end of July to feed all
these millions, and then the harvest
will bring relief; but there are many
hundreds of thousands to whom the
harvest will not bring relief, for they
have neither land nor cattle. The
few COWS that are in existence are in
such a uitiful condition themselves
that they are useless for milking pur-
poses.
'The result is that babies and
young children are being forced to
eat the coarse black bread and the
indigestible young cucumbers, which
are luxuries to the adult Russian
peasant today, but are death to the
baby, or. at any rate, spell disease.
These people have sold their all and
in most cases have likewise sold in
advance all that the harvest might
bring them.
The Starving Women.
"They have sold themselves and
their work, and from all over the
southeastern provinces reports are
coming in of young women and girls
forced to prostitute themselves to OBJ
tain food. For these suffering people
to whom the coming harvest means
nothing, relief must be afforded dur
ing the whole of the coming year.
Meanwhile epidemics of disease add
to the terrible conditions obtaining.
The difficulties encountered in re-
lieving these people are made 10
times worse now, owing to the prac-
tically impossible condition Of the
country roads; the winter SHOWS are
melting and projecting vast volumes
of water in countless cotaracts to-
ward Mother Volga, and neither man
nor beast can hope to do anything
in the way of travel"

DEATHS DUE TO STORM.
Wind And Hail Do Much Damage
In Jacksonville.

Jacksonville, Fla. Especially A
severe wind and hail storm struck
Jacksonville at $50 P. NJ, doing
considerable damage. The tug Annie
B. capsized and Captain Sloan was
drowned. The driver of a milk wag-
on was killed by live" wire.
Glass windows on the west sides
of buildings were demolished, and
several buildings were unroofed. A
dozen or more horses, lashed by the
large hailstones, ran away, some of
them crashing into and shattering
plate glass show windows and others
running into the river. Dixie Land
Amusement Park suffered several
thousand dollars damage
Some of the hailstones measured
one and a half inches in diameter.
Numerous small craft in the river
were either beached or swamped.
The Wheelmen's Clubhouse was
wrecked.

When an automobile is running
at high speed the rubber tires are
rapidly warmed, and the heat be-
comes very great, with resultant in
5ury to the rubber The cause of this
accumulation of heat in the tire is
ascribed to the kneading of the rub
Der, which generates heat faster than
it can be radiated away. For this
reason manufacturers have found it
to be an advantage to have metal
parts in the tread, such as the ends
of rivets, in contact with the tire, be-
cause the metal being a good radia-
tor, helps to carry off the heat to the
outer air.--Youth's Companion.
