ARMY UNEASY
AS TO CUBA
POSSIBILITY OF A RETURN TO
TO THE ISLAND is DIS
CUSSED.
Sugar Situation Regarded by Some
as Showing Drift Toward
Third Intervention.

Washington, June S,-Uneasiness
as to the Cuban situations Is admitted
here in military circles. The opinion
has been strong among army men
ever since the American troops left
the island that it would only be a
question OF time until they had to re-
turn. Now it is beginning to be fear
ed that intervention will again be
necessary in much shorter time
than has been generally believed.
In army circles everywhere it is
plainly said that the next time the
army goes to Cuba the American flag
will be run up to stay. In other words
another American intervention would
mean annexation.
1t is learned from an authoritative
source that the sugar institution IS
enc OF the chief difficulties OF the is
land. 1t is probably largely at the
bottom of Cuba's trouble. The Cuban
sugar market is not good. Those in
ARE much dissatisfied They think an
nexation would mean a market for
their sugar and good times. Conse
quent1y, IT is feared that as things go
from bad to worse III Cuba there will
be a revolution and that the sugar in
terests will be found backing it or at
least in complete sympathy with it.
Moreover the finances OF the Gu
ban government are in bad shape a
high official today described the Gu
ban financial situation as serious. For
some days there have been rumors
of growing apprehension on the par;
of the administration.
President TAFT has been inclined
oufwardly at least, to take an opti-
miStic view OF tne situation, and no;
long ago 1t came from the White
House that changes for the better
were afoot, and it was thought every
thing would turn out all right Now
things have taken on a gloomier as
pect
Briefly, the Cuban trouble, as Tar
as finances are concerned, appears to
be extravaganza and an utter incapac-
ity to manage fiscal affairs wisely and
eoonmically President Gomez is
showing every sign of spending
money freely, and the indications are
the Cuban congress will make appro-
priations far beyond the revenues.
With the island plunged into debt
taxpayers dissatisfied, the sugar pro
Gucers eager for American rule, anc
perhaps foreign creditors pressing
their claims for settlement, it seem:
unlikely that the present government
can long hold out

Swung From Light Pole.

4 mob OF colored laborers from
the circus at once attacked Make and
was endeavoring to lynch him when
local officials succeeded in getting
him away and placing him in Jail.
While further attempts at a lynching
were feared, nothing was done TO
prevent it and at l 80 a mob OF mask
ed men surrounded the jail, took the
negro from Jailor Bridges and es-
corted him to the bridge across the
Kentucky river that separates North
and South Frankfort There, while
the negro pleaded for his life, a rope
was placed around his neck and as he
was swung from over the beam of
an electric light pole his body was
riddled with bullets.
Following the lynching. Gov. Will
son. whose mansion was close enough
to hear the shots fired, was called
from bed by telephone and informed
OF the occurrence. He stated, how
ever, that he could see no reason why
he should be disturbed over a purely
local affair Bower, the white man
who was shot. is probably fatally
wounded He is a member of the

WILL WAR ON
NEAR BEER
EY-GENERAL PREPAR-
ING TO ROUT BELIEF NOW
EXISTING.
State Official Declares Dealer is Not
Protected in Sale Because of
Label it Bears.

In the office OF the Attorney-Gen
eral preparations are being made to
rout the belief which prevails, evil
IDENTIFY, in a large part OF the. dry
territory in Indiana that "near-beer"
and Similar malt liquors cain be sold
without retail liquor dealers Ii
cense
The various 'near-beers" now be-
ing sold in large quantities through
out the state are branded as contain
ing a very small per cent OF alcohol,
but analyses made by the state ohean-
ist of a number of samples purchased
regularly reveal alcohol running as
high as from to per cent. the
laI;ter making a very heavy beer of
intoxicating quality These near
beers" are sold ait soft drink counters
to children whose parents would not
permit them to drink peer, yet al
low them to drink this stuff at will.
"A result OF this" il was said at
the office OF the Attorney-General,
that hundreds of children are GREAT
ing appetites for Intoxicating liquor,
contrary to the purposes of the Cen
eral Assembly in enacting the license
laws land in enacting the township
and ward remonstrance and the local
option laws. The soft drink parlor
which sells 'near-beer' is doing infin-
itely more harm than the licensed
saloon ever did because the children
have free access to the drink.
According to an unofficial opinion
from the Acknowledgement, the deal
er is not protected in the sale OF the
''near-beer because the label declares
that it is not bottled for medicinal
USE
The fact that malt liquor is said
by its manufacturer to be designed
for medicinal purposes doesn't pre-
vent its being considered beverage

office Various whistles are bottled
almost wholly for medicinal use, but
they are considered beverages and
cannot be sold except where the sell
er has been permitted by the statutes
to SELL them"
The activities against the sale OF
the beverage have been accelerated
by the raid on pool room in Bloom

bottles OF the material were seized

not beer, not Intoxicating, and that

WILL STOP
SOME FEES
GOVERNOR MASRHALL WILL
CAUSE COUNTY OFFICIALS

Executive Believes Bill Passed Over
Hanly's Veto Will Not
Stand.

1t IS understood that Governor
Marshall will use his influence with
the newly appointed board OF public
accounting to have that board notify
the sheriff and county clerks all over
the state that they must stop pocket
ing the special fees which are paid
into their offices and which they are
allowed to keep ACT ording to the fee
salary bill which passed at the re-
cent session of the state Legislature
over the veto OF Governor Haniy who
tried to kill the bill in 1907.
According to these two acts the
clerks are allowed to retain the fees
from many sources, in addition to
their regular salaries and sheriffs are
permitted to keep the in and out fees
received on the entrance OF each pris-
oner TO the jail, or the exit OF them
from the same Among the fees
which the clerk OF Marshall county IS
allowed to retain at present are part
of the fees for naturalization papers,
for marriage certificates, special court
fees aud some others,

Governor Marshall Opposed.

Governor Marshall is strongly op-
posed to allowing the county officials
from pocketing any on the usual fees,
and has issued the following state
ment in regard to the act, which per-
mits the officials to take and &C cept
these fees.
Il believe both acts are unconsti-
jtutional, and that the board of ac-
counting will be with me on this
score The constitution provides tina:
when the Governor vetoes a measure
and it is not returned before the leg
islature adjourns that it shall be
brought Up before the legislature a:
its next meeting. These acts were
not placed before the special session
in September and believe a failure
to do this will prevent their being
considered valid"
At any rate the state can we'll al
ford to make a test case and | shall
urge that the board shall demand that
all county clerks and other officers
cease to retain the fees allowed by
the acts until the supreme court can
pass on the question"

from 10000 to $4,000 pounds capacity

New York, June 9.-Marked inter
est abroad in the currency problem
of the United States was noted by
jacob H. 'Schiff, the banker, who re-
turned today on the steamer Lucania
from a six weeks trip IN Europe. Mr..
Schiff said that everywhere he also
encountered keen interest IN tariff
legislation, final settlement of which
was eagerly awaited, not only in the
belief that it would signaIze reviv-
al OF commercial and industrial activ-
ity here, but would have an effect
on the settlement OF the currency
problem.

Schiff, that with the tariff out of the

problem Will be sought with energy,
for it is already now feared that un-
less this question: is promptly dealt
with we shall only be again heaping
up new fuel. which, in times to come,
will bring on another confagration.
Monetary System Unsound.
AS the first step toward this, the
immense modelling of capital
through the enormous absorption OF
new securities in the United States
and the simultaneous heavy gold ex-
port is being pointed to. While, with
a sound system, we should be in a
position TO reduce the volume OF the
currency to the decreased needs of
commerce and industry, as it is the
large surplus OF paper currency, lot
now needed can he employed only in
securities purchased, or it must dis
place our gold by driving it to other
countries; in fact, both are being
done, and after while we start 10

England, where the liberal party ap-
pears to be losing ground, especially
among the middle classes. because of
its socialistlc tendencies, which finds
graphic expression in the budget now

Did YOU ever see fellow who has
had more exciting experiences in a
quiet easy-going community, than
our oli-time friend, Fred Goodyear,
who resides east OF this city, and
takes an occasional vacation to Texas
and other woe+begone spots? Tues
day Fred was driving a cow, one of
the horned species, toward this city.
Attached to the COW, and in the rear
by fifteen feet, was the honorable Mr.
Goodyear, humming to himself a gay
tune, even as the milkmaids were
wont to do, for he was happy, and
all was we'll with the world Not so
very long however for Freds beafific
state OF mind was disturbed by a
series OF honk, honk, honk, emanat-
ing in the near rear guard. The b.
vine took fright at the oncoming
auto and persuaded Fred to hike
down the road at a 2:40 gait Fred
iSll HIS hnNSS ~ put
an end 20 the race with the smoke
wagon, hit upon an ingenious scheme
as only Fred could have thought of.
a tree grew near the road, which
they were rapidly approaching. Fred
prepared hitch, and when they drew
even with the tree. he flung the rope
about it's base. The cow stopped, but
IT'S place OF landing was in deep
ditch filled with water, and its po-
sftion was upside down. Whereupon
in order to save MS cow from a wat
cry grave, Mr. Goodyear was forced
to plunge into the ditch, and assist
the same COW, in regaining dry land
