MINISTER ANSWERS
CRITICS OF CUBA
ISLAND GOVERNMENT MISREP-
RESENTED. HE. SAYS
Financial Situation Does Not Warrant
Concern for Security of Young
Republic, Declares General
VeIez

NEW YORK, May 29.-In reference
to the persistent reports that condi-
lions IN Cuba are unsatisfactory and
that President Taft is concerned about
the financial affairs of the young re-
public, General Carlos Garcia Velez,
the Cuban minister to the United
States, is quoted today IS saying:
There appears to be an organized
movement to misrepresent in this coun-
try Cuban affairs, and to spread alarm
through the United States with the
idea of arousing public opinion against
the Cuban government. There is no
excuse whatever for criticism, and the
financial problems of Cuba can be
solved easily without tying up the
treasury with the issue of the new
loan which President Gomez is author
lied to make.
Proof that the financial situation in
Cuba does not warrant any concern
is the fact of the suspension accorded
by congress and sanctioned by the
president on the 21st of last month of
the export tax on sugar, tobacco, cigar
cites, cut tobacco and liquor.
IF the financial situation had been
what has been represented by the de-
tractors of the Cuban republic, the
Cuban government would not have
abolished the said tax"

CARPENTERS DISCUSS MOVE
TO LOWER SCALE OF WAGES
Master Plumbers Join in Recommend
alton, but Union Men Are OPP
posed to Plan

SAN JOSE, May 29--The Builders
exchange held a meeting today for the
purpose of formulating and announc-
ing a reduced wage scale for all car
penters, and they are Joined by the
master plumbers in a reduced scale for
all employees in their establishments.
The building contractors announced
some time ago that owing to the en-
trance of open shop contractors in this
city and also to the competition of the
union carpenters themselves, who,
they allege, are seeking contracts at
low figures and thus taking work that
by the rules belongs to the contractors,
the latter are driven to the necessity
of putting wages back to the old pre-
earthquake scale. The union men de-
clare they will not accept a reduction.

MlSCREANTS ACTIVE ON PHIL

MAYOR ORDERS ALL SALOONS OF
THE CITY CLOSED
Trouble fastened in Curious Way
Through Action of Company in
Raising Wages of the
Employees
1By Associated Press.l

PHILADELPHIA. May 29.-ThC
strike instituted today by the conduc-
tors and motormen of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit company became serious
tonight. The company admitted thai
about 1000 of the 5000 men had quit
work The strikers declare a greater
number are out.
Mayor Reyburn ordered all saloons
closed at p. m. and to remain closed
until a. m. Monday. This is the sec
ond time a mayor of Philadelphia has
closed the saloons on account of street
car strike.
The strikers are counting upon pub
lie sympathy, as the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company has abolished the six
for a quarter tickets.
Trouble was reported tonight in the
section known as "BrewerytoWn."
A car was damaged by an explosion
believed to have been caused by dyna-
mite placed on the track. The city was
practically tied up at midnight so far
as street car traffic was concerned.
Higher Wages the Cause
Paradoxical as it may seem. the
strike was FASTENED through the ac-
ton of the company in raising the
wages of the men l cent an hour from
Il to % cents. This was done about
two weeks ago, and the increase is to
go into effect July l.
Prior to the announcement of the
increase in wages the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit company became the
storm center of general protest by
abolishing siX-for-a-qua tickets and
adopting a straight scent fare rate.
This matter is now before the state
railroad commission.
The leaders of the union took adj
vantage of the situa ton and began
agitating for an increase in wages and
better conditions. Their demands in
cluded a request for % cents an hour.
nine or ten hours straight work in
stead of splitting up the day, the priv
llege of buying uniforms in the open
market and the adjustment of minor
grievances.
The company. having already in
creased wages, ignored the unions de-
mand The traction company employs
approximately 5000 motormen and con-
ductors. and claims that not more than
one-sixth of these are affiliated with
the organization. On the other hand,
the union leaders say the union has
membership of $500
Disorder of a minor character has
been reported from different sections of
the city. At Fifty-second street and
Girard avenue an abandoned car was
partially wrecked by boys and men,
One policeman accompanied each West
Philadelphia car in the early hours,
but when reports of minor disturbances
began coming to police headquarters
two policemen were put OH each car.
The company announced this after
noon that 1880 men who failed to re-
port for duty or abandoned their cars
had been discharged. The company
also announced that there would be
no compromise, and that it would not
recognize the union.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC MAY EXTEND TO
 CLIFTON
Indefinite Plans Made for Ultimate Building of
 New Extension

Another road building project is be- ing contemplated by the Southern Pa cifc. according to information received by the Silver Belt yesterday, which will place Clifton on a connecting line with the Gila Valley railway.
 This plan calls for the building of an extension eastward from the Gila Val ley line at Solomonville, by the way of Guthrie and Lordsburg. A branch line to Clifton is included in the plan.
 The Arizona & New Mexico railroad, owned by the Arizona Copper company and the Morenci Southern railway of the Phelps-Dodge company meet at Guthrie and in the event of the con struction of the proposed new line, it is probable that the Morenci Southern would be broad guaged, opening up both Clifton and Morenci to standard guage traffic and the subsequent con nection of these points with the Gila Valley line.
 A move of this kind would be of great importance to the Shannon Cop per company, which is now entirely de- pendent upon the Arizona & New Mex leo railroad, and to the Globe district as well, as large amount of territory would be opened up and made tributary to this city to certain extent.
 No date has been fixed as to the time at which this work will be taken up.

A. [. RIGHT 0F WAY
 TROUBLE OVER
Dispute With National Min ing Exploration Com
 pany Settled

By an agreement filed with the coun- ty recorder yesterday, the National Mining & Exploration company grants to the Arizona Commercial Copper company a right of way for a spur and switchback on it's property. near the new shelter.
 This agreement ends q dispute which began some time ago, by reason of the fact that tracks of the Arizona Com mereial Copper company extended onto the property of the National Mining & Exploration company.
 According to the instrument filed yesterday, the Arizona Commercial, in consideration of the right of way, agrees to build twenty five foot bridge across cut which it proposes to make on the Free America claim, in order that road now in use may be kept open to the public.
 The transportation of machinery and supplies for the National Mining & Exploration over the Arizona Commer- eial railway is also pledged.

MN|NCSPECULAT|ON CAUSED FAILURE
 OF BANK
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars Missing -Investi-
 pation Begun

MINERAL POINT, Wis, October F. "A conference will be held tonight by Federal Attorney Morgan mad Bank ex aminer Goodhart to decide what steps will be taken to bring to account those responsible for the failure of the First National Bank of this place, which was following the disappearance of more than $2O0,OO0 of it's funds.
 The cause of the failure is said to be disastrous speculation in mines. The manner in which the bank was defraud ed, it is alleged, was by the substitu. ton of notes in forged names Of well known business men on negotiable se- eurities.
 The bank has been in existence for over twenty-three years, for the last eight of which Mr. Sponsley has been at it's head, and Phil Allen has been cashier almost since it's inception.
 At Allen s residence all callers were informed that he was dangerously ill He is 6l years old.
 So sudden was the collapse of the bank that there was no opportunity for a run upon it. and today hundreds of spectators and depositors are sbI dazed and uncertain as to what they should do. Virtually one-third of tho adult population of the town were de positors.

LARGE NUMBER MAY TRY FOR BAR Removal of Certain Restric- tions Will Result in
 Larger List

Owing to recent change which has been made with regard to qualifications for admission to the bar, there will be an unusually large number of candi- dates at the coming examination, to be held in Phoenix November ,, accord ing to George J, Stoneman, secretary of the territorial board for the admission to practice ofslaw.
 Heretofore it has been necessary that all applicants have studied law for period. of three years, either in college or with some practieing attorney. This year these restrictions have been re- moved, however, the only qualification necessary being the ability of the ap- plieant to pass the examinations.
 The examination will probably be about on a par with those which have been given in the past, with regard to the questions which will be propounded.

 Copper City MAIL SERVICE IS
 URGENTLY NEEDED Will Ask That Passenger Car Be Attached to Freight
 Train Service

A campaign for regular train service between Globe and Miami was started at the latter town yesterday, when q petition was placed in circulation, which, when signed, will be submitted to Superintendent, (. (. Mallar! of the Gla Valley line.
 While the residents of Miami desire the establishing of regular train ser vice in order that they may be given the advantages of rapid transit betweeI Miami and Tlohe, what they desire more particularly is regular mail ser vice, according to the petition. X new postoffice is already being established.
 It is probable that several hundred signatures vii. be attached to the pc. tition.
 Superintendent Mallard stated yes terday tha. regular service could not be established immediately, as the track has not been entirely ballasted as yet.
 He stated, however, that as sool as possible, regular service would be cs tablished and that in his opinion, it would be but a matter of but shorT time until trains would be running reg ularly.
 The residents of Miami will proba- bly ask that, in ease freight train IS operated between Globe and Miami that passenger coach be carried on all trains for the convenience of the public.

Large Attendance, Unique Decorations and En-
 trancing Music
REPRESENTATION OF
 SHIP OF DISCOVERY
Large Crowd Enthusiastic in Praise for First Event
 of Fall Season

The Knights of Columbus gave a ball at Dreamland last night in honor of the four hundred and seventeenfS | anniversary of the landing of Columbus.
 This was the first large social func ton of the season and it was success ful beyond the brightest anticipations. The floor was in perfect condition, its shining surface as smooth as glass, and the music was better than at any recent affair given at Dreamland
 There was a very large attendance but the immense floor space was suffi- cient to accommodate all the dancers without any inconvenience.
 The ladies were beautifully gowned and, to the spectators, the scene was really enchanting.
 In the center of the room was a large ship, representing the Santa Maria, in which the adventurous discoverer made his. eventful voyage. This was decor ated with flags and bunting and cleo tric fans kept the flags waving. In the body of the ship the orchestra was stationed, and in this position the mu- sic could be heard equally well in ev cry part of the large ball room. Coi- pred lights added to the effectiveness of The decorations.
 The programs were very artistic al. so. On the front cover was an em. bossed figure of kneeling knight in full armor and bearing sword and shield. In the upper corner was pho geographic representations of the ships of Columbus.
 There were twenty numbers on the program but several extra numbers were added during the evening. At twelve clock there was an intermis sion when refreshments were served.
 The various committees had arranged everything so well that there was noth ing left undone that could add to the comfort or pleasure of the guests. The following were the chairmen of the different committees: T. P. Kelly, ar refreshments. They and their assist L. Powers, reception; and J. J. Maloney, refreshments. The wand their assist ants are to be congratulated upon the success of the ball.
 All who attended are enthusiastic in their praises of this delightful affair, and many were heard to express wishas that there would be similar functions given by other societies in the near frl ture.

PERSONAL DAMAGES ASKED IN SUM
 0F slO,QOO
Mrs. Charles Larsen Ayers Carelessness in Killing
 of Husband

As the result of the death of Charles E. Larsen, from injuries received in the Miami mine, five months ago. Mrs. Larsen filed suit against the Miami Copper company yesterday for $lO,00o damages.
 Mrs. Larson asks damages on three different counts.
 She alleges in her complaint that at the time Larson was fatally injured, he was working in the mine and in close proxmity to the skip. The track was closely timbered. By reason of the care. lessness of Charles Allison, who was operating the skip, it is claimed, the car was started without warning with the result that Larsen was fatally crush ed by the ear before he could escape from its path.
 Mrs. Larsen further claims that the brakes, clutches and other controlling devices of the hoist which operated the skip were defective and also that the hoist signals were defective and that these features were in Q way respon- sible for Larsen's injuries.
 Mrs Larsen is the mother of two children. Both herself and her child ren have been deprived of support by reason of the death of her husband, she claims.
 At the time of the inquest over the remains of Larsen, an opinion was ex- pressed by some of the witnesses that Allison 's carelessness was responsible for the accident The latter disappared after the accident, however, and no charges were filed againset him.
 Mrs. Larsen is represented by Attor ney F. s. Nave.

Tho Sword of CORVALLIS.

Art Is not always true to history.
Schoolboys of several generations are
familiar with the picture of Corn wallis
surrendering his sword to Washington
after the fall OF Yorktown. Lord Corn
wallis Is revealed In the act of passing
over his beautiful sword to the hand
or his conqueror. The inference is that
Washington took the sword and kept
1t as q trophy of victory. The facts
are quite otherwise.
CORVALLIS. proud even In defeat. de-
cl1ned TO put In personal appearance
on the occasion OF his surrender. Tho
allied forces. American and French.
who had besieged him for thirteen
days, were drawn up In two columns
along the road leading to Hampton.
Rochambeau. on fine bay horse. was
at the head OF the French column. On
his white charger sat Washington at
the head OF the American troops. The
surrendered British and Hessinns
marched out of their intrenchments
and passed down between tho two col
umns
Many thousands OF Virginian citizens
were gathered to watch the scene. nil
eager to get glimpse OF Lord Corn
wallis. But they were disappointed In
that CORVALLIS pleaded indisposition
ana stayed In his quarters. He sent
his sword by one OF his officers. Gen.
eral O'Hara. TO be delivered up to
Washington. General O'Hara offered
the sword TO Washington, who direct
ed him TO General Lincoln, the officer
whom Washington had appointed TO
conduct the surrender. Lincoln took
the sword from O'Hara's hand and
then politely handed IL back, to be re-
turned to CORVALLIS.
