DESIRE AGUARANTEE
RIGHT TO INTERVENE IN CUBAN
 MATTERS.
Conservative Party of Island Want Platt Amendment So Defined as to Regulate Conditions for
 Federal Intervention.

Havana, April 27-In an interview yesterday, Jose Lanuza, President of the Conservative Party. said that he believed the chances of the Conserva- lives defeating the Liberals were good. The Conservatives want Article of the Platt amendment so defined that 1t may be known how and under what circumstances another intervention might take place.
 According to Article 8. the American Government may intervene in Cuba, whenever in its judgment 1t is conven- tent, the reason and manner are at the option of the United States. and Cuba has nothing to say on the subject The Conservatives want to remedy this and to find a guarantee of safety in some regulation of the application of Ar ticle 8.
 Asked whether he expected the Americans to withdraw from Cuba without new guarantees or a verbal definition of Article 3, Senor Lanuza answered that as the Americans were not withdrawing immediately 1t was perhaps too early to answer the ques- tion. He added.
 Tt Is true there was a price on the first republic and there may be on the second, but I do not believe that the Americans are going to name 1t until shortly before they are ready to leave"

 The club is well trained and is com posed of excellent voices. The pro- gram last night was varied with chorus. quartet and solo music, and was entertaining throughout This was interspersed with music by the orchestra.

Struggling for Life He is Picked Up
 By Negroes.
 New Orleans, April 27.-While row. ing across the Mississippi river near New Orleans early this morning two negroes picked up a Japanese sailor who was vainly struggling in the swift current to reach the shore.
 The man. who was clad only in his under clothes, said he had jump ed off the British steamer West Point last night in an effort to save an Eng fish sailor who had fallen overheard. The sailor, he said, was drowned, and after struggling in the water for sev- eral hours he himself was about to give up when the negroes rescued him.
 The Japanese. who gives his name as Maojorche Idripe, is being held by the New Orleans police pending an in vestigation by tho British consul. The West Point left port last night, short- 1y after o'clock.

Cherokee County Land
 Moued by Earth 7remor.

Tuscumbia, April 27.-(special.)- John M. Lair, a well known and thor ough1y reliable citizen of Cherokee, this county, was in Tuscumbia today and told of a strange phenomenon in his vicinity, which is attracting much interest. The scene of the occurrence Is two miles southeast of Cherokee and about mile from the main line of the Southern Railway. MT. Lair states that recently parties living In the neighborhood are sure that they felt a slight tremor of the earth, feel ing sure it was an earthquake.
 It has developed since that an area of about six acres has been literally torn up and moved several feet from its original place. by what evidently was a gigantic upheaval. The earth from the top down to the base of which the space of ground was moved was rent with large Assures, some as wide as three feet, while the other
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-04-28

side of the mountain seems to have been lifted fully four feet from It's original position by some stupendous pressure underneath the mountain.
 Another peculiar freak is the chang ing of road running through the six acres. which has been moved the width of the road In some places the earth seems to have been broken up and pulverized. and at another place it appears as if great body of water had shot from the mountain, carrying in it's path large quantities of rocks and sand
 The people living in the neighbor- hood are not anticipating any further disturbance, but would not be sur prised at a recurrence. They profess little anxiety. but their concern is plainly evident and a repetition of the upheaval would doubtless cause panic in the western portion of the county.

There Wright asked for another look at the watch. Lancaster complied and that is the last he saw of the chronometer un- til yesterday afternoon. when the negro was arrested and lodged in jail.

]. r. Means, disappointed candi-
date for councilman at Hermiston,
has started suit in the circuit court
to oust F, B. swayze. the papers in
the case being filed in the circuit
court this forenoon.
In the complaint Just filed the
events of the recent city election at
Hermiston are retold as well as the
proceedings in the county court,
which body decided an apparent tie
by giving the office to Swayze.
The complaint today alleges that
the election was not a tie for the rea-
son that Means had one more vote
than Swayze, and that the county
court was misled in the matter. Con-
sequently, it prays that the action Of
the court be set aside, Swayze re-
moved from office and Means declar-
ed duly chosen to the place.
The suit just started is the last step
in the Swayze-Means controversy
which arose out of the first election
held at Hermiston. When the ballots
were counted by the judges one Of
the Means votes was thrown out by
the judges for the reason that the
ballot was held to be Illegal through
the fact that the voter had cast his
vote for two people for the same Of
flee. With the ballot thrown out the
contest between Swayze and Means
became a tie, and under the law the
decision in such cases rests with the
county court. Upon the case being
brought before the court a decision
favorable to Swayze was given.
In the suit just filed the state is
ramed as a plaintiff ex rel. and the
is signed by District Attor-
ney Phelps along with Lowell & Win
ter and r. r. Johnson, attorneys for
Means.

veals that ohe Fab Wong, a beauti-

cisco was at the bottom Of the Chi

the results.

MAY FOLLOW SUNDAY
CLOSING POLICY

What effect District Attorney
Phelps order for the closing Of sa-
looms will have upon other lines of
business is now the subject of much
speculation and the outcome is await
ed with interest. During the past
week 1t has been freely prophesied
that in the event Of being forced to
close their doors all day the saloon-
men would retaliate by complaining
against cigar stores, refreshment par
lors and all other lines designated in
the general Sunday closing law. But
whether they will take such action or
not remains to be seen. Last evening
a meeting of some eight or 10 sa-
loonmen was held, but 1t is under
stood that no action was taken ex-
cept a general agreement to close on
Sunday as directed. 1t has been
stated by some dealers that they have
never been officially notified to close,
However, District Attorney Phelps
says ho will give no notice aside from
his communication published in this
paper today.
Two Sunday Laws.
There are two district Sunday clos
ing laws upon the statute books OF
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-08-03

Oregon-one for saloons and one for
general lines of merchandise. Under
the provisions of the two laws. II
rigidly enforced, there would be no
more business in this city on Sunday
that was permitted by the Puritans
while they ruled the New England
coast.
But while the statutes are explicit
there is one point which might make
1t impossible to secure conviction
OF anyone aside from a saloonman.
II is stated that reasons of "mercy
or necessity" may be pleaded in de-
fcnse of one who violates the closing
law. Because of this loophole it
might be exceedingly hard to get a
jury to convict a merchant for being
open upon the Sabbath, for necessity
could easily be pleaded and proven in
many instances.
In view of the doubtfulness of Sc
curing a conviction of a merchant or
druggist for being open on Sunday it
is probable that should complaints
he made against them the district at
torney will hold the cases for
grand jury, as he has done in the
past.
