CUBA AGAIN IN
NATIVE HANDS
GEN. GOMEZ is INAUGURATED
PRESIDENT OF THE RE-
STORED REPUBLIC.
AMERICAN RULE HAS CEASED
Gov. Magoon and Other American Of
ficials Who Controlled Affairs
Since the Latter Part of 1906
Leave the Island.

Havana, Cuba. - Maj. Gen. Jose
Miguel Gomez was inaugurated presi-
dent of the restored Cuban republic
at noon yesterday and within an hour
after he had taken the oath of office,
administered by the chief justice of
the supreme court, the American Off
cials who had been in control of af-
fairs since the autumn of 1906, had
departed from the island.
The American provisional governor,
Charles e. Magoon, who escorted Gen.
Gomez to the palace and there turned
over to him the reins of government,
sailed on the new Maine. This feat
ure of the program was entirely i'm
promptu, as it had been expected up
to the last minute that the scout
cruiser Birmingham would call for
the departing executive. The Maine
was followed out of the harbor by
the battleship Mississippi and the
army transport Mcclellan. An i'm
mense crowd gathered along the sea
walls to witness the spectacle and a
small boats accompanied the ships to
the open sea.
A Cuban gunboat also accompanied
the ships some little distance to sea
with a band on board playing the
Cuban national anthem. Large Cuban
flags flew from the foremasts of the
battleships and transport and as they
hn ahonna1
under the towering white walls Of
Moro the white clad sailors of the
Maine and Mississippi manned the
rails from stem to stern. The scene
so filled with significance was a
most impressive one, but the crowds
ashore looked on in characteristic
silence.
Earlier in the day when Gov. Ma
goon and President-elect Gomez were
seated side by side in the carriage
en- route to the palace in the wake of
a galloping escort of native cavalry,
there was the same silence on the
part of the holiday throngs who lined
the sidewalks Hats were lifted as
the carriage swept by and the salutes
were returned in the same manner by
the governor and Gen. Gomez
The departure of Gov. Magoon and
the military officers who served as
advisers to the native officials dur
ing the period of intervention leaves
about 5000 troops still on the island,
under command of Maj. Gen. Barry.
These will be returned to the United
States as fast as the transport SER
vice will permit, the last of the troops
leaving on April /.

New York City.-Just which ship

Harrisburg Railroads chartered in
Pennsylvania under the act of 1849
can charge only three cents a mile on
through passenger traffic, and three
and half cents on local passenger
business, according to decision hand
ed down by the state railroad COM
mission in the complaint of G. T.
Matthews, of Somerset county, against
the Pittsburg, Westmoreland & Som
erset Railroad Co., lumber railroad,
of which Senator J. Henry Cochran is
president. The company contended
that it is purely freight road, and
that 1t loses money when it hauls pas
sengers at seven cents head. Mat
thews refused to even come to the
city to appear against the company
The road is % miles long and hauls
lumber from Ligonier to Somerset and
back. In looking up it's charter it was
discovered that the eighteenth section
of the act of 1S49 prohibits companies
chartered under 1t from charging more
than the above rates. Singularly
enough when the law was looked up
no reference could be found to the linn
itation of fares except in the pamph-
let laws of that year.

Harrisburg.-T century-old statute
providing that all magistrates, such as
justices of the peace and aldermen,
shall file with the prothonotaries of
the courts of their counties accept
ances of election within 80 days after
the ballots selecting them have been
cast will probably be repealed this ses-
sion. A bill to wipe the old law off
the books has been prepared and will
be introduced in the legislature. This
law has given much trouble in the last
20 years. Often men elected to such
offices neglected to file the formal ac-
ceptance and when the time came
around to assume office found that
they could not obtain a commission
from the governor. The result was
that they had to make application for
appointment to the vacancy caused by
their own failure to comply with a for
mality and could only hold for year
an office for which they had been
elected for the term of six. 1t is held
that the man must want the office or
he would not run for it, and that the
acceptance is an empty proceeding.

 Through twenty years of association. MT. Harahan had come to know MT. Hartman well. Tonight as he sat in his private car en route to Chicago from New Orleans, he recounted to the Associated Press representative many incidents of the life of the rail- road magnate.
 Mir. Harahan left New Orleans at l o'clock this afternoon. and 1t was not until three hours later. just south of McComb City, that a special wire death as he was speeding northward,

  America will miss him: the world will miss him. It will be hard to i'll his place.
 He was a wonderful man from whatever viewpoint you look at him. Quick to think and act, his deeds were sometimes puzzling to those whose minds were less active. And yet, in the end, his judgment was almost in fallible. Problems that others would take days and weeks to solve. his genius settled in an instant.
 ''He knew men. too, and could judge of their capabilities with an accuracy few leaders in the commercial world were capable of.
 "Especially was he a friend of the South" added Mr. Harahan. His heart was in the Illinois Central. Had he lived, he would have made this sec tton blossom like the rose.

 pr. Edwards has been in brok en health for some time. He was granted a three months leave of absence, last year and again this year but he feels that the pastorship of the First Church at present would be too strenuous for his physical condition.

 New York, Sept. s.-From all parts of the country there came flood of tributes upon MT. Harriman's career and fife work. oJ&ffes J. Hill. another giant among the railroad builders and a one time business adversary said'
 "I have always regarded MT. Harri- man very highly. I have done good deal of business with him In the last few years and some of 1t as you know has been of a rather strenuous char acter. So I think that I ought to know him pretty well. He did the work Of several men during his life time He was one who never left any thing undone and there are few meu in this country whose place 1t Will D" harder to fill. It is greatly to be re- gretted that MT. Hartman could not live to complete all the work which he had set out to do.
 'There should not be any serious IT. nanciaI disturbances as the result or his death. All Hartman properties are in good shape. He was not one who would leave his affairs so situat' ed that the wolves could prey upon them. The greater systems which ne has created will run along as usual and somehow or other his place will De IllIeO, IOr all VI uS uAS ohN JSN SN~ world wags."
 Henry Clews, the Wall street bank CT, spoke of MT. Hartman as "a bril- liant metor of the railroad world"
 Mir. Clews said
 Nothing so well indicates the great opportunity which still exists in America as the rise of MT. Hartman. the son of a quiet country clergy man.
 "His death has probably been dis counted already on Wall street, as his precarious condition has been well understood by the insiders. I do not believe that any other single man will ever again occupy the position which Mr. Hartman has held. Peculiar combinations of circumstances made possible his one-man domination of the interstate railway situation. This opportunity is not likely to come again, especially In view of the de- mand for new and more stringent fed eral laws"
 James Stillman. chairman of the board of directors of the National City Bank spoke feelingly of the loss of his close personal friend and business associate. 'I have long regarded Mir Hartman" he said. "as probably the most real genius that has ever devel- oped in business life"
