man, Her Aid, Accused of
More Offenses
Man Who Denounced Police
for Making Arrest Is
Fined $50

Emma Goldman, anarchist, and B. l..
Reitman, her advance agent, were in
Police Judge Deasys court yesterday
morning when the original eight
charges against them of conspiracy to
incite riot-were continued by courtesy
and they were served with a warrant
charging them with violating section
407 of the penal code by denouncing
at a meeting in the Victory theater last
Thursday night as unnecessary and
wrong all organized forces of govern
ment, and more especially the govern
ment of the United States, and preach
ing anarchistic doctrines and theories.
They were taken to the city prison and
booked on the new charge and were
brought back to court.
The original eight charges were not
dismissed, but were continued till to-
morrow, the defendants being released
on their own recognizances. They had,
however, to put UP $3.50 cash ball each
on the new charge. Attorney Kirk de-
manded a trial by jury on this charge
and the judge set the case for trial
on Thursday afternoon.
Christian Christensen, gauger for the
internal revenue service. convicted of
disturbing the peace by denouncing the
police for arresting the Goldman
woman and declaring his belief in her
doctrines, was sentenced by Police
Judge Shortall yesterday to pay a fine
of $50, which was settled by his father.
Christensen will probably be dis
missed from the government service.
Charges of conduct unbecoming an Of
ficer and tncompetency were filed
against him yesterday by the head of
the department, August L. Muenter.

MANY COME TO SEE OUR BABIES
Little ArfstOcrats Receiving Much Ad-

EfIers Music Company DevOting Nearly
an Entire Floor to Display of
Finest "Babies- Ever Shown

The greatest number of fine. new
Baby and other grand pianos ever
displayed in a retail salesroom consti-
tute the Eilers Baby Show" announce
ment of which was made last week. In
order to give music lovers, who have
been unable to attend the Baby Show
on account of the inclement weather,
an opportunity to view this remarkably
fine exhibit, it will be continued for a
few days more.
Among the exhibits worthy of special
mention are the famous Chickering
Quarter Grands, and the later and still
smaller Grands that by some one have
been termed the Infant Grand" Mag
nificent Chickering Parlor and tremen-
dous Concert Grands, the latest tri-
umphs of this, the most famous and
foremost firm of piano manufacturers
in all the world, are also on view.
Possessing all the glorious qualities
that go to make the Chickering the
greatest of all great pianos, the little
Quarter Grand Chickering's are yet SO
small that apartments which barely ac-
commodate an upright can readily ad-
nit one of these small Grands. In fact,
these little Quarter Grands are much
more easily moved through crooked
stairways and small halls than any
upright piano.
In addition to the Chickering exhibit
there is a magnificent display Of Soh-
mer, KiTuball. Hazelton. Decker, Lester,
Bush & Gerts and Pease Grands, in
Baby, Parlor, Concert and costly carved
and ornate styles.
The magnitude and beauty of the
display we are now making must be
seen to be appreciated. 1t is by far the
largest ever made. Art and music

President Gomez Is Inaugurated
and American Officers Take
Their Leave.
PLACE RtIGNy EVERYWHERE.
Island Begins New Rule Under Condi'
tons Which Seem as Propitious
as Possible.

q Havana, Jan. 80. - Maj Gen. Jose
Miguel Gomez was inaugurated pres
ident Of the restored republic OF Cuba
yesterday at noon, and within an hour
after he had taken the solemn oath
of Office administered by the chief JUS
tice of the supreme court, American
officials who had been in control OF
affairs since the autumn of 1906 had
departed from the island on battle
ships and army transports.
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.
Crowd Sees Departure.
The Maine was followed out OF the
harbor by the battleship Mississippi
and the army transport Mcclellan
An immense crowd gathered along the
sea walls to witness the spectacle,
and a perfect swarm Of yachts, tugs
and small boats accompanied the
ships to open sea, where full speed
ahead was signaled, and the gray
fighting vessels and white transport
soon left the little fotilla behind, with
q chorus Of whistles screeching fare
well salutes.
The scene so filled with significance
was a most impressive one, but the
crowds ashore looked on in character
istic silence.
Some Troops Are Left.
Last night the city was again brill
liantly illuminated and the streets,
parks and water front congested with
the outpouring of people. The palace
and other public buildings were
aflame with electric bulbs. The de-
jparture Of Gov. Magoon and the mill
itary officers who served as advisers
to the native officials during the Pc
,riod of Intervention leaves about 5000
troops still on the island, under com
mand of Maj. Gen. Thomas L. Barry.
These will be returned to the United
States as fast as the transport serv-
ice will permit the last of the troops
leaving on April /.
Peace Reigns In island.
Cuba begins her new rule of indie
pendence under conditions which
seem as propitious as possible. Peace
reigns from the western extremity Of
Pinar del Rio to the eastern promon-
tories Of Santiago province, and no
disturbing element Is anywhere In
evidence. President Gomez goes into
power as the overwhelming choice of
the people and the Liberal party, to
which he belongs, will have full sway
in the congress. No nation ever seem
ed more favorably started toward per-
manency of independence than the
island surrendered yesterday by the
American pacif1cators. 1t is believed
that the people will realize their op-
portunity and endeavor to make their
second attempt at self-government a
lasting success.

Lloyd Italian line, to which the Flori-
da belongs, believe that Capt. Ruspi-
nj. his officers and crew, should come

Republic. In a statement issued last
night they point out the heroism and
the act Of humanity displayed by
Capt. Ruspini. who, despite the fact
that his ship was sorely damaged,
stood by the Republic for more than
twenty-four hours. rescuing the pas
sengers from the Republic and later
transferring them to the Baltic when
that ship reached the scene. The
statement is made that had the Baltic
not arrived Capt Ruspini would sue
