CUBA MUST "PAY THE PIPER"

Washington, d. C. - President

Thursday with Secretary Taft and
Assistant Secretary Bacon, who made
full report of all that occurred in
Cuba since the United States govern
ment interviewed to restore order
Condition in the island and the

situation. The financial feature OF
the Intervention was also taken NJ
and the possible appointment of a
fiscal agent for the United States dis
cussed. 1t is expected that some re-
cpOnsible banking institution Will be
selected for tbs purpose. None Of
the conferees was willing to make
more than general statement re-
garding the conversation.
The appointment of fiscal agent is
a part of the administration plan 10
make the Cuban people pay the pi-
per" in connection with the ravolu-
tionary outbreak. 1t has been serious
ly discussed in the administration cir
Gle, and been decided that as the Gu
bans have in the past shown no dis
position to be at all apDreciative of
our efforts in their behalf, it will be
but fair and right for the United
States to look TO the Cuban revenues
for reimbursement for the expense in
volved in saving the Cubans from
themselves.

CASTE IDEA CARRIED FAR.
Illustration Of Bitterness Between Fol-
lowers of Mohammed.

Here is tale from O'Donovan's
Merry illustrating the bitterness of
feeling between the various sects of
the followers of Mohammed: O'Don-
ovan had offered his Mohammedan at
tendant. who happened to be Shilte,
some of his cold chicken, which the
man took at first and chewed rumin-
antly. Suddenly, however, he spat the
mouthful out, exclaiming: Who
cooked this?" since it is sin for a
Mosiem to eat food cooked by an in
fidel. "Oh. it's all right" replied
O'Donovan, 1T was cooked by your
coreligionists down there" pointing to
4 city of Sunnites. What" exclaim-
ed Shilte, furiously, by those internal
Sunnites. l shouldn't have minded
much if it had been cooked by you or
any other giaour; but by Sunnite!
Pah." and he spat again in his dis
gust. But what is the difference be-
tween Shilte and Sunnite? Aren't
both good Moslems?" What is the
difference between us! Don't you
know that when a Shilte washes his
hands he let's the water drip from
the wrist; but when those Sunnites
wash their hands they let the water
drip from the elbow?"

STANDARD OIL IS GUILTY.
After 80 Consecutive Hours DELHI
Grafton Jury so Decides.
Was Charged with Conspiracy in
Restraint of Trade-Trinl Marked
New Method of Procedure.

F1ndlay, Ohio. = BY the YER
dict of jury the Standard Oil COM
pany of Ohio is guilty of conspiracy
against trade in violation of the Val
entine antitrust law of Ohio. The
penalty is fine of from $50 to $4,000
which may be repeated for each day
of the offense or Imprisonment off
from six to II months.
The Standard Oil company of Ohio
has given notice that it will file
motion for a. new trial. Under the
practice of the court the defendant
has three days to put this motion in
form. The next step will be for the
court to impose the penalty. The de-
Tense will then take their bill of ex-
ceptions to such rulings of Judge
Banker as they have objected to the
circuit court of the state. The ap-
peal from this court is to the supreme
court of the state by which tribunal
there is no doubt the issue will ulti-
mately be decided.
To the state, the suit, the verdict
and the ultimate appeal is important
because it initiates an entirely new
method of proceeding against alleged
trade monopolies-that is, by in
formation and affidavit instead of by
grand jury indictment.

Rulers Look for "Rainy pay.v

Nearly all European kings and
queens have money invested in for
eign countries. Every year the car
and czarine of Russia intrust a large
portion of their private savings to the
British and French national banks.
King Leopold. of Belgium, has uni
versal reputation, and not an enviable
one, as Leopold & Co., rubber mer-
chants. He founded the Congo Free
State and is one of the largest rubber
and ivory dealers in the world. He
is also one of the cleverest of finan-
ciers, and knows his way about all
the bourses of Europe. King George
of Greece speculates largely in argi-
cultu al products, follows carefully all
the fiji citations of the financial mar
k.tE nd is assiduous in putting his
mo-ey into good things. The sultan
of Turkey declines to trust any Turk
ish bank with his savings, which are
nearly all deposited in British banks.

New YORK. Mrs jefferson
Davis. widow of the president of the
confederacy, who had been i'll for a
week at the hotel Majestic in this city
died at 1925 o'clock Tuesday night
Death was due to pneumonia induced
by severe cold which Mrs Davis con-
tracted upon her return from the
Adriondacks where she had spent the
summer months. Although grave
fears were felt from the first, Mrs.
Davis wonderful vitality which
brought her safely through i similar
attack year ago, gave hope of ulti-
mate recovery until Monday night
when q decided change for the worse
was evident and the attending ply
sicians announced that the end was
near. 1t was then believed that Mrs.
Davis could not survive the night, but
she rallied slightly during the early

Bound and Square Balls.

A few years ago there was started
in Chelsea. Mass, semi-secret po-
litical organization, and after few
meetings it was decided that ballot
box and ballots were needed. A
brother made a motion that a commit
tee be appointed by the chair to pro-
cure the same. A brother who was
always suggesting amendments moved
an amendment that the committee be
instructed to procure round white
balls and square black balls. Another
brother asked him to describe a
square ball, which brought the house
down and caused the mover of the
amendment to calculate: You think
YOU are id smart. don't you?"
