CUBA ALARMED OVER
ATTITUDE OF PRESIDENT

HAVANA, April 13.-The Diario de
la Marina is alarmed over the state
ment of Representative Fordney, of
Michigan, in the Congressional Record
of March 81, saying: "President Taft
agreed in my presence that during his
administration he will not permit, so
far as he can avoid it, any further
reduction in the sugar schedule. If
we accept this agreement, it will leave
three hundred thousand tons to come
in free from the Philippines.
The Diario urges the necessity for
prompt action. In spite of the friend
less words and hopes brought by Vice
President Zayas from Washington, it
says, Cuba's financial ruin is involved
If President Taft does not turn out as
friendly. 1t is believed here that this
article. reflects the prevalent anxiety
over the tariff question.
La Lucia prints today an interview

with Colonel Harvey, well known
American, who is here on behalf of the
pineapple growers He says the Payne
bill would be death blow to this new
Cuban industry, which is producing
$1,000, 900 annually, and will also affect
Americans through the steamship com
panies interested in transportation, as
well as other trades connected with the
business. Colonel Harvey appeals to
the Cuban government to act.
FL Triunfo prints report from the
Agrarian League, signed by Louis Marx
and addressed to President Gomez, on
behalf of the tobacco interests. He
also recommends quick action and says
that as the cost of producing Cuban
tobaccos is the highest in the world
eighty per cent. reduction should be
obtainted instead of the twenty per
cent. granted by the present treaty.
He foresees hard times for Cuba If
America does not give her generous
treatment.

THREE JAPANESE SHOT
LAST NIGHT At A|EA
(From Mondays Advertiser.y

Three Japanese at Aiea were shot
and seriously wounded last night by
one Harada. They are being treated
at the hospital there. Harada has sur.
rendered himself TO the police at Eva
and is confined in the Eva Jail.
The police at Eva telephoned the
news in to headquarters last night,
giving only the bare information of
the shooting and the surrender of the
assailant and his detention.
One OF the victims was shot In the
stomach, another in the hip and the
third I'm the knee. The first one is
said to be In a serious condition. Just
what caused the shooting is not known

II is thought here that the Harada
mentioned is the Japanese who at one
time was a member of the japanese

REPORT ON WHITE SLAYER
immigration Commission Makes Pub
lilo Its Findings,
TRAFFIC SAID TO BE WIDESPREAD
investigation Covers Many Cities In
All rarts Of the COuutry ~ Well
as All Glasses of
Victims.

WASHINGTON, Dec. i0-stories AZ re-
voting practices Of American and foreign
procursrs OF women for Importation into
the United States for immoral purposes are
told in a report issued today by the i'm
migration commission. The recomnaendA'
tions OF The commission contemplate q
closer scrutiny Of the admission OF alien
women and roneNed efforts to stamp out
the so-eaned white slave traffic"
The inquiry covered the cities OF New
York, Chicago. San Francisco, Seattle
Portland. salt Lake City, ogden, Butte
Denver, Buffalo. Boston and New orlssns.
No attempt was made to investigate eondi-
tions in every important city. But the
commission believes that the roush evil
dsnce with reference to women OF different
races and nationaiities and living under
different conditions, has boon obtained
from localities sufficiently scattered TO
warrant the reports used as q basis for
legislative and administrative action.
The report says concerning talk OF .
great m~onopolistio corporation whose ousi-
ness 1t is to import and exploit these un-
fortunate women;
THE commission has been unable TO
learn OF any such corporation and does not
believe In its existence 1t is stated. how
ever, that persons engaged In such inn
porting business doubtless rave . wide
acquaintance among themselves. and in
many Instances they have rather close
business relations. one with another. 30 as
to prevent their victims from getting out
Of their clutches before they have realised
the desired profits from their base VEN
lures.
Under the head OF Recommendation"
the commission says that owing TO the
difference between European and Amerl-
can views regarding the business OF dis
reputable women, cooperation for the sup
preston OF the white slave traffic can
be expected from most Of the European
nations only along certain lines. Most
European countries, it says, are rigid IN
their regulations regarding procuring OF
minor girls or OF any women by means OF
fraud and deceit. Women, who are Of age
and who enter the business Of their own
accord are not interfered with. Such
government probably would cooperate only
to prevent the seduction OF minors or the
fraudulent or forcibie expectation Of theis
women. In the main, however, the United
States government must rely upon Its own
officials for prevention OF this traffic.
A number OF suggestions Of administers
tive changes and more rigid enforcement
OF existing regulations by the Department
Of Commerce and Labor, particularly By
the bureau of immigration. and amend.
ments of the immigration act itself arr
submitted by the commission.
