HAVANA. March 12.-Horse racing
in Cuba will have its introduction this
afternoon, when the fine track at
Buena Vista. FIVE miles from the city.
will be formally opened The Cuban
Racing Association. backed by the
carnival committee, is in charge OF
venture. Twenty thousand
dollars in stakes and purses will be
awarded during the meet. Many horse
men from the United States are here.
If the meeting is SUGGESTING 1t is said
that next winter a longer session with
an earlier beginning will be held. The
enthusiasm which has developed would
seem to indicate that the racing game
on the island will be permanent Ak
ture. Several years ago George Bur
bridge. well known sporting man OF
New York, said that he Intended to
build track in Cuba. but after look
ing the ground over he decided to
back out. Not long afterward several
Cuban promoters went to New York

WHEELING MAN COMMENTS ON
ALpRica siLL NOW BE: !,
FORE CONGRESS.


WHEELING. W. Va. March t2.-
While It may not reach all the require
mepts demanded Of such measure,
thrt the AldrEch bin contains more
good features than bad. is the opin-
! ion Of Howard Hazlett, prominent 10
oil banker and man who is connect.
! ed as director with several of the
largest banking institutions in this
city. as he expressed it in an inter
view.
There are some good features in
the Aldrich BILL" said Mr.. Hazlett.
"aDd must also say that in my optn-
+, ion there are many thinps that are
not good. In balancing the two IN
however. 1 feel that there is more COOL
in the bill than there is bad and for
this reason / commend It,"
q think that the Aldrich hill does
not meet all requirements as II should
and that 1t falls short OF the demands
in some respects. In other ways it
rmore than makes up for the de6cien-
cies in it"
Mr.. Hazlett was asked II ne thought
that the passage Of the bill and the
establishment of an emergency cur
rency of s5OO.0oOO6O would help mat
tiers locally in that it would prevent
the repetition of a financial stringency
and the subsequent depression bring
ing shut down OF the mills and the
factories.
az can hardly answer that fully eth
er way. But I can say that believe
that # the Aldrfch bill becomes law
it will make things a great deal bet
ter than they are at the present time
| Reports from Washington are to
the effect that there will be a vote on
the measure Thursday or Friday OF
the present week. and If the bill pass
es It will go to the House where it
will be debated. Mr.. Roy B. NayIor.
State secretary OF the board OF trade
is another Wheeling business man
who recently said that the Aldrlch
bill was a good measure and would
De the means OF preventing panic
caused by a stringency OF the money
market.

Long Campaign
IS TO BE MADE THIS YEAR BY
STATE HIGHWAY INSPECTOR
FOR GOOD ROADS.

IT is the intention of state High
way Inspector Williams to make a
consistent and long campaign this
year in the hope of improving the
conditions of public roads in general.
1t Is to be arranged so that several
of the best known road builders Of
the State will assist him in introduc-
ing the subject of good roads at the
meetings held in every county. The
road supervisors and the others In
terested in good roads will be asked
to attend the meetings and hear the
subject discussed freely and fully.
In a few years the conditions of
the roads all over the State will be
bettered to such an extent that the
present condition in some counties
will be in very poor comparison.

VAUGHN ALIAS GORDON AND
HOTEL MEN ARE WARNED.

cLARKsBuRG, March 10 -secre-
tary c. D. Thompson. OF the West vir-
ginia Hotel Keepers Association. Is
to send out warning to the members
against a man known by the name OF
inevsrghn Gordon who is accused of
distributing worthless checks. The
following account of his operations
is taken from Niddleport, Ohio, pa
per:
Mr.. DeBauchn, mailing from Wash.
Ington. Pc. has been circulating
among Middlepot business men for
some tine past, negotiating with the
board Of trade with view of locating
a glass factory in their midst.
Mr.. Devaughn registered at the Ho-.
tel Allen as Mr.. Gordon. of Wash
lnEon. Pa. but this the board OF
trade did not learn until after his de-
parture.
He talked freely to members of
the board about the family of VIII
S. Davis, former Pomeroyans. and
said that he was brother to the De-
vnran who had Married Miss Edith
Davis.
He was one of those clever. smooth
guys who knew just exactly how to
work the boys. hence he "stung"
quite a few of them to the amount of
$50, sis. $40 and IS, and while the
members of the board were expecting
the man behind the promotion Of the
glass factory to appear daily and hour
" as he had been telegraphed for, he,
the Mr.. Devaughn alias Gordon sud-
denly disappeared. The board learned
later that he left on a B. and o. train
out OF Mason for points up the river.
Mr.. Thompson has received word
that the same game has been work
ed elsewhere in the State, SO he has
decided to send out warnings to 9th
er hotel keepers.

(By 8. W. Press Associaton.)
NEW YORK. March l2.-Exhibits
are beginning to arrive for the Inter
national Mining Exposition, which will
be held in Madison Square Garden
from May rs to June 20. The project
is planned as an educational measure
for the benefit of the mining industry.
Appropriations for exhibits have been
made by several nations. No will
cat" properties will be permitted to
exhibit, and each individual company
making display must present GER
tificate of the genuineness of the ex-
hibit from the governor or State geolo-
Eist of the state in which the mine is
located.
1t is claimed by those having the
matter in charge that there has never
been an exposition held in this city
that will be OF such magnitude and as
instructive as this will be. The show
is to have the cooperation OF the
United States government, Congress
having appropriated the sum Of $4,000
to exhibit the mineral resources of the
United states and its possessions, and
also demonstrate the various processes
of metal extraction. This will be done
by the Geological survey.
There will also be exhibits by many
OF the precious metal mining States,
and various mining districts, where the
State does not exhibit.
Considerable Importance is attach
ed to the fact that there will be for
eign exhibits by various governments.

crowded round in the widest excite.
ment. They were all unclothed, with
g. good deal of paint and feathers, and
had bows and spears and stone axes.
They seemed frightened at the tea
ceremonial, evidently thinking it was
some piece of magic, which they be-
lieve in greatly. We went back to
the ship quite peacefully and after
ward the governor Judge Murray
went ashore again and brought off the
bones of Chalmers, the missionary.
when we were on shore, We asked
the people, through interpreters, how
they cooked their cannibal food, and
they said with native sage, and showed
us some in rolls. Told by the gov
ernor that they must give up these
practices, they said it would be hard
to do SO, for human flesh tasted much
better than pork or dog.

Aged and ThinIy Clad Woman Wan
ders Into Mountain WiIds.

Freeland, PA terrible experience
fell to the lot of Mrs. John Klinger, an
aged Freeland woman, who wandered
from her home during driving rain
storm the other evening and spent the
night in the mountains.
A rescuing party, headed by Burgess
Hartman, on horseback, followed the
footpaths and main roads, and two
members of the state constabulary
Joined the search. The weather was
cold and wet, and when the woman
disappeared she wore only a light
shawl over her house dress. The
search was continued all night without
finding the woman, who, it was then
feared, had fallen into a mine cave.
At eight o'clock in the morning the
ten-year-old grandson of Mrs. Klinger
left his home in Jeddo to attend Sun
day school at Freeland. He had no
knowledge of his relatives disappear
ance and was astonished to find her
tottering on the railroad tracks near
Drifton. She was then so far ex-
hausted that physician had to be
summoned and she was conveyed to
her home, where she now lies in a
critical condition.

London.-From a letter just re-
ceived in this city from that adven.
tureloving Irish girl, Beatrice Grim
shaw, who writes stories of the South
Seas, it appears that she has been
enjoying herself in her own peculiar
way in and around New Guinea, which
is to be the scene of the novel she is
now writing. Her letter, which is
dated from the Gulf of Papua is, in
part, as follows:
DAY before yesterday we called at
Goari-Bari, a notorious place, where
Chalmers, the famous missionary, was
eaten in 1902, and where a terrible
fracas with natives occurred in 1904,
resulting not long afterward in the
suicide Of Gov. Robinson. 1t is an
island close to the mainland. Few
white people have been there, and
most of them were eaten-no one has
ever stopped a night, and no white
woman was ever there before myself.
The governor, friend of his, Col. An.
till, two missionaries, the governors
secretary, myself and six armed police
from Port Moresby (natives) were the
landing party. The natives were ex-
tremely excited and jumpy; nervous,
one would say. They received us quiet
ly enough, and accepted presents of
beads, etc., but when 1 and two 9th
ers were in one of the houses, they
came and held up joint of cooked
human flesh before me, laughing. 1t
looked horrid and smelt worse. l
think it was ribs.
There was also a canoe full of
skulls in the river, and many skulls in
the houses. We were not attacked,
however, and we walked all through
the village, saw a general family
sleeping house 1870 yards long, divided
into numberless compartments (the
fiat system, evidently bodies
laid out in the branches of trees to
decay, which is their method of bur-
ial, and some strange images.
I'VE stayed all afternoon, and made
our boys make afternoon tea for us in
the middle of the village; nice china
