LoNGWoRTH OUT FOR TAFT,
Thinks He Most Completely "Typitles
Roosevelt Administration"

CINCINNATI, April 11.-Representative
Nicholas Longworth returned home from
Washington yesterday. In an interview
he declared himself In favor of the nomi-
nation Of Secretary Taft as the republican
candidate for President. He said that
his opinion was personal, and that he
spoke only for himself, but that he be-
lieved that Taft in the eyes of the people
typifed the Roosevelt administration.
Mr.. Longworth said:
Since il has been announced that Secre-
tary of War William II. Taft is candi-
date. IL seems to me the sole question in
volved is whether or not the republicans
OF Ohio Will indorse him for the presidency.
Secretary Taft being a candidate for Presi-
dent, and for other Office, / cannot see
how any other offices are here involved.
PersOnally-and speaking only for myself
/ am for Taft for President. The great
question before the people in the
next presidential election will be, in my
opinion, the approval or disappCovai of re-
publican policies as registered bS<the legis-
lative and executive branches OF Nis gov
eminent for the past eight years, under
the administration of President Roosevelt.
1T seems to me that, after the Presi-
dent himself. there Is no living man who
so thoroughly typlfes in the eyes of the
people the spirit OF the Roosevelt admin
istration as William II. Taft. There is no
one who can be better trusted to carry out
many OF the great reforms which will be

LoCUSTS IN THE TRANSVAAL.
Officials and Farmers Trying to Over
come the Plague.

! Special Cablegram to The Star
JOHANNESBURG, April 11.-Clouds of
locusts visited the Transvaal in the past
season, and all the ingenuity of the farm
ers and government officials has been put
into devising means of getting rid of the
plague. The natives seem to have taken
the thing much more quietly and philo-
sophfcally. Mr. Otto Henning, the govern
ment veterinary officer in Basutoland, in
terviewed concerning the native way of
dealing with the locusts, said: These de-
structive creatures" he says do not seem
to have done very much damage to the ma
uves' crops during the past seasons, and
wherever they did put in their appearance
the Basuto were not idle in seeing their
opportunity of taking back fair equiva-
lent of the damage done by catching and
drying large numbers of The insects.
1T meant exchanging bread for meat-in
my opinion most suitable and effective
method of dealing with the locust plague,
and we'll worth copying elsewhere. 1t is
not even practicable where the people
themselves do not look upon locusts as fit
articles for food, for the domestic animals
from the fowl upward and including the
horse, are by no means fastidious in this
respect. They can not only live but even
thrive and fatten on them in times Of
scarcity of food. Ground up and mixed
with bran they would form most nour-
ishing substance Of considerable market
value

LONDON, April 11.-John Weiss, the lat
est inventor of an airship, interviewed upon
the subject said:
within fifteen years New York will be
twelve hours distant from London. a speed
OF $50 miles an hour being achieved with
flying machines of the fixed bird-wing type

Mr.. Weiss explains in detail the expert
ments he is making with elders, and his
future plans SO far as these can be fore

His first step toward the conquest of the
air will be to obtain the mastery over the

essentially of hollow bird body with two

and by moving his body slightly backward

CONTROL OF ISLE OF PINES.
Contended That It Must Be Settled
bY Treaty,

L. j. keenan,, president of the American
Association of the Isle of Pines has left
Washington for his West Indian planta-
tion Speaking of the decision of the Su-
preme Court relative to the nationality of
the Isle of Pines Mr.. keenan, said that it
had been discounted in advance and really
had no bearing upon the question of what
should be ultimately done with the island.
The suit, he continued, was brought by
an individual and neither the American as
ISOLATION nor any other organization was a
party to 1t. There was, he feared, no ade-
quate presentation of the American side of
the case, nevertheless, the Supreme Court
was divided in it's opinion. The ownership
of the Isle of Pines must be settled by
treaty. as was provided by agreement be-
tween Cuba and the United States when
the independent government of Cuba was
established.
THAT the island will ever be turned over
TO Cuba for government Mr.. Keenan,
said, i do not for a moment believe. While
l am firmly convinced that the Isle of
Pines is no more a part of Cuba than Is
Jamaica or Porto Rico opinion which
l share with the Spanish peace commits
Soners and the late President Mckinley.
the question has long ceased to be one of
mere geography. 1t is one of national good
faith to an American colony which has
been built up by official representation that
the island was and would remain American
territory.
The Isle of Pines Is almost solidly owned
by Americans Probably 5000 citizens of the
United States have property interests there.
1t is progressive. up-to-date colony thor
oughly imbued with American ideas and
the Cubans are no more capable of gov
erning 1t than they are of administering the
affairs of the city of New York. They have
Anticipated laws and customs. Inherited
from their former Spanish masters, that
1t will take them a century or two TO out
grow and which are utterly inapplicable TO
an American community. The result Is
series of clashes between American colon
lists and Cuban officials which arise not
from racial antagonism. but from mutual
misunderstanding growing out of irrecon-
cilable differences in customs and Ideals.
The Cubans have failed so far In the eX-
pertinent of 'self-government. with TINS
fact in view. / do not believe that any sane
administration at Washington would take
the responsibility of turning over to them
the control of the persons and property
of thousands of American citizens.

AN EARLY TRIAL.
Prospect Cheers Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone

BOISE, Idaho. April 11.-Prospect of
early trial has had cheering effect
upon Meyer. Haywood and Pettibone
having conspircd in the assassination of
former Gov. Steunenberg. Only Haywood
is TO be placed on trla., but the others will
be as greatly interested as though they, too,
were in court. This is true because attor-
neys FOR the prosecution have said that
they viii stand or fall by the Haywood
case. That statement is based on a belief
that the evidence against him was stronger
than could be presented against his COM
paniOns.
More than a year has been spent by these
men in prison. They We're first locked up
in the small and crowded Canyon county
Jail. They We're then removed to the state
penitentiary. The next transfer to the
Ada county Jail here.
1t was suggested to Sheriff Mosely that
guards ought to be enlisted. but he prompt
ly vetoed the scheme. His position was
that they be treated the same as other
prisoners.
The prisoners have had all the comforts
that could be provided for them, and on
pleasant days have been permitted to exer-
else on the big lawn beside the Jail.
II has, however, been a hard experience
on the men, particularly Haywood. His
mind has held every minute visit of the
home cottage In Denver that sheltered his
invalid wife and two children. He has been
tortured by thought of her anxiety and the
bitter fate that has kept him from her side.
For eight years she has lived almost all the
time in an invalid chair She Will not be
able to attend the trial. nor will her daugh-
tiers, because she is n constant need Of

CT indestructible states, each being supreme
within its sphere of power.
"As am leaving it never to return to It,
let me say few words about the United
states Senate. 1t has been harshly and too
generally criticised upon various grounds.
1t is too MUCH perhaps. to expect that 1t
should be popular body. 1t was the inten-
ton evidently of the trainers Of the Consti-
tuition which created 1t that it should not be
a popular body; that it should stand be-
tween the first and second thought of the
people, which is not pleasant or popular
junction. 1t was expected that the House Of
Representatives, coming directly and SO
often from the people, might be at times
more extreme than the real public interest
would Justify, and the Senate was to be the
conservative body to safeguard the people
against hasty, passionate or ill-advised
measures.
TT is my conviction that there is not in
the world a legislative body more loyal to
the public interest. more laborious and
painstaking in conserving it, or with higher
purpose and better, practical ability to leg
Isiate wisely and in the interest of the

sPooNER FOR CONSTITUTION.
Upholds Wisdom Of Separating State
Power From Federal.

NEW YORK, April Ex-senator John C.
Spooner of Wisconsin was the guest Of the
Wisconsin Society Of New York last night,
and made the principal speech at the an
nual dinner Of the society at the Waldorf
Astoria.
Senator Spooner said:
There is no evil injurious to the people,
within the federal or state jurisdiction,
which 1t is not my earnest wish to see cor
rected. But I refuse to be stamped into a
departure from vital fundamental princi-
pies of government embodied in the Consti-
tuition Of our country. This, in my judg-
ment, is one of the dangers which today
confronts this people.
I'm my view, almost any evil can be bet
ter borne than the infiict.on of q grieyous
wound upon our constitutional system of
government, which is dual in its character.

and. separately, OF the state governments.
No body of men better fitted by virtue of
their patriotism, wisdom, knowledge of the
science and philosophy of government and
painful experience IN the weakness and
wrongs of government ever met to frame
an organic act for a people than the men
who framed the Constitution of the United
States. They created an indestructible union

TO RESPECT NEUTRALS.
Orders for Conduct of War by Mica
raguau Troops

r. Echazarreta. the Nicaraguan consul at
New Orleans. has advised the Nicaraguan
legation in this city that, according to a
communication from Gen. Juan ]. Estrada,
general commanding the Nicaraguan expe-
dition engaged in capturing Honduran
ports, explicit Instructions were given to
the general to follow strictly the rules and
regulations in accordance with international
law when nations are at war, guaranteeing
the life and property Of every neutral citi-
zen at the different places where his forces
would be.
Gen. Estrada states that he was ready
to guarantee the life and property Of every
foreigner and that he had made such guar
antee good. He says this had been proven
by the fact that complaints have been
made to the contrary.
The only complaints received, he said,
were that there had been lack of laborers
for the work of the banana plantations,
which he said was because the Honduran
authorities made them soldiers to fight
against the Nicaraguan forces. He stated
that as soon as the Nicaraguan forces
took possession of place they liberated as
many laborers as they could to go back to
their work.
