RACE RIOT AT HAVANA.
Negroes Demand Drinks at Ameri.
can Hotel Bar.

Havana, January "a strong race
feeling has been engendered by the
trouble which arose last night at the
Hotel Plaza, an American house,
over the refusal Of the bartender to
serve drinks to two negro Congress
men. This resulted in a riot. which
although no one was seriously in
Jured, made necessary the calling out
OF the police reserves. Today the
clerk of the hotel was arraigned in
the Correctional Court and fined $40.
A cro owd Of negroes. including q
strong representation Of the vter-
ans Association, attended the Court
session and demanded exemplary
punishment on account of the insult
to the colored race. Senior Morua
Delgado. president of the Senate and
leader Of the negro element, con-
Quoted the prosecution and insisted
upon the extreme penalty, which is
fine Of $1,000 and six months in
jail.
The decision of the court to inflict
minor penalty was greeted with
strong expressions of disapproval.
After the adjournment of the Court,
the two negro Congressman, head
Ing a procession of 400 negroes.
marched to the hotel crying: viva
Maceo, viva La Patria," They en-
tered the bar and demanded drinks,
which were served with no further
protest.
The indictment has caused much
excitement, and there are grave
fears of q serious race clash. Many
Cubans are sympathizing with the
attitude, but tonight a strong guard
Of police has been placed in front
of the hotel.
Ell Triunfo, a Government organ,
published bitter editorial, declar-
Ing that all blacks and whites in
Cuba are on plane Of absolute
equality, and that "the Americans
must be taught by the strong arm OF
the law that they shall not be per-
mitted to introduce into Cuba the
anti-negro sentiments prevailing in
the United States"

pected to be finished by Monday at
ternoon and the famous case that
emerges from the Seminole tangle
will then be entered upon.
A number of attorneys will appear
and with the generous field for legal
battle the case will probably show
some exciting matches of wit and
argument by the attorneys. Solicitor

sented by Christie Benet, D. Duncan

SUBSIDY BILL INTRODUCED.
None of the Existing Ship Lines VIII
Benefit, Says Author of Measure.

Washington, January "A bill for
subsidy, which its author, Represen-
tative Humphrey, Of Washington,
says has the approved Of President
Taft, was intro duced in the House
today.
Increases in pay to American ships
carrying mails to South America,
China, japan, Australasia, the Phil
ippines, an increased tonnage tax on
transoceanic trade and the admission
Of foreign built ships to American
register for foreign trade are some of
its features.
1t is proposed also to pay second
class ships at the same rate for car
rying mails as frst-class ships are
paid. The same subsidy now given
to ships Of 5000 tons and 20 knot
speed will be extended by the new
bill to ships of 5000 tons and 1S
knots speed. To secure the subsidy,
the ships must be built on plans ap-
proved by the Secretary of the Navy,
carry four or more guns of not less
than six-inch calibre: carry Ameri-
can boys and train them in seaman
ship. be officered by American citizens
and carry crews Of not less than so
per cent American men. They must
always be at the demand Of the
Government
1t Is provided that the amount ex-
pended for subsidy in one year cannot
exceed the estimated revenue from
forign mails service. for that year.
None Of the existing lines will bene-
fit by the bill. the author says, and
he estimates that about $1,000,0O0 a
year will come in from the increased
tonnage tax on foreign vessels.

AVIATOR KILLED IN FLIGHT.
Leon De La Grange Meets Death Un
der His Monoplane.

Broadneaux, January 4.-Leon De
La Grange, the French aviator.
whose achievements during the past
two years had won him a high place
among those who have set out to
conquer the air. was instantly killed
here today. while making a flight in
the presence Of great crowd Of
spectators.
strong uncertain wind prevailed.
but with characteristic daring De La
Grange faced 1t in the same mono
plane in which he made a record, of
SO miles an hour at the Doncaster
meeting last October. He circled
the aerdrome. seeming to have good
control and yet at times, It heeled
dangerously to the wind. On the
third round, when at height OF be-
tween sixty and seventy feet, he
increased his speed. He swung wide
at the turns. but at the tower of the
aerdome he attempted to describe
a sharp curve. The machine was
seen to sway. The left wing was
broken and the right wing immedi-
ately collapsed. The aeroplane came
plunging to the earth and it turned
half over as it fell. with the aviator
clinging to the seat. In this way 1t
crashed to the ground with De La
Grange beneath, the heavy motor
crushing out his life.
The mechanicians are at a loss to
explain the exact cause Of the acci-
dent. They are merely able to say
that 1t resulted from manoeuvring
too quickly in the puffy wind. The
'monoplane was doubly braced at
the essential points and had been
given a careful examination before
ascending.

Would Alter Interstate Law.

Washington. January "A bill
making sweeping changes in the In
terstate commerce law for the regu-
lation of railroads was introduced In
the House today by Representative
Mann. OF Illinois.
Tie bill is not in accord with the
Administration bill. which was pre-
pared under the direction of Presi-
dent Taft. Instead Of providing q
special Court to hear Interstate
commerce cases. It would create q
bureau In the department of com
merce to be known as the bureau of
transportation. where a shipper may
file complaints against q railroad. II
justice Is found In the complaint, the
Attorney General would examine It.
and II satisfied that a cause of ac-
tion exists. that official would file a
petition with the Interstate COM
merce commission and prosecute the
case at the cost OF the Government.
In the meantime the shipper
would not be deprived Of the priv
ilege of bringing an action before
the Interstate commerce commits
sion at his own expense as the pres
ent law provides.
The bill enlarges the powers of
the Interstate commerce commits
sion in the matter of fixing and
changing rates, and would amend
the law so that In no case. should a
charge for a short haul exceed the
charge for long one. 1t would also
prohibit any through rate which is
more than the aggregate of the local
rate. Every shipment. upon which
rebate Is paid, would constitute a
separate offense. and railroads would
be permitted to pay for advertising
their time tables in newspapers with
transportation.

NEW YORK WILL
GUST i,MAeHINEp
Standpat Newspaper Admits That
Sherman Is Also Doomed to De-
feat.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-The Her
aid says It has made canvass OF
New York State by counties and that
although the administration of Pres
ident Taft will be Endorsed at the
Republican state convention to be
held at Saratoga September %, the
State machine, otherwise known as
the "old guard" will be defeated by
those in the party who are in favor
of the direct primary and opposed to
"bossism.
II the fight is made, as the leaders
OF the opposition declare II will be,
against the election of Vice-Presi-
dent Sherman for temporary chair
man of the convention, 1t is almost
certain. according to the result of
the canvass, that he will he defeat
ed. The great majority of the coun-
ties are against him and these coun-
ties will cast more than a majority
vote in the State convention.
As the Herald is a strong sup
porter OF the 'stanupatters, tne iol-
lowing must be taken with few
grains OF allowance:
"on the question of indorsing
President Taft there is no division
of sentiment, In this State there is
no manifestation of that kind of in
surgeney which has split the party
in twain in the Middle and Western
States. Cannonism is not yet live
issue, and II there is opposition to
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law It will
manifest itself on election day rather
than at the primaries"
The New York Times says It has
made similar canvass. which shows
that Roosevelt will control the con-
vention.

for three-Quarters of an hour, the
