LETTER IS SENT TO
CUBAN PRESIDENT

New York, July 1S "A plain-spoken let
ter to Jose Miguel Gomez. President of
the republic of Cuba, was given out here
today by w. c. Stillman, president of
the American Humane society.
President Stillman notes that one house
of the Cuban congress passed a law au-
thorzing concession fol bull fights, cock
fights and gambling In comment he
adds 1T is unnecessary to remind you
that the most enlightened countries on
longer regard 1t as manly or cultured
or necessary for the development of a
proper national character, that the people
of country should be permitted to
indulge In sports which are bloody and
brutal.
Just so surely as the people of Cuba
are allowed to be debauched by degrading
sports and sanctioned gambling, SO GER
tain will their moral characters become
more and more demoralized until Cuba
will cease to be a self governing nation,
and became merely an annex to some
strong government with higher ideals
and truer moral FIBRE

At the conference with Mr.. Meyers, A,
B Garretson of the Order of Railway
Conductors set forth the demands and
askSd for ten-hour day with the same
pay as under the twelve-hour system. The
committee did nothing except insist upon
the compliance of the railway with tbs
terms
Mr. Movers said the men admitted they
were better paid than employees Of COM
peting railroads. but added that the COM
pany was willing to comply with the
terms of any other road provided the
Pennsylvania system expenses were not
increased thereby.
| Mr.. Meyers told the committee he said
that the Pennsylvania railroad was at
present sustaining heavy losses in hav-
| ing rs 900 freight cars and $50 locomo-
! tives idle due to a falling off In freight
| business and that any increase in ex-
| penses now was out of the question.
| Mr. Garretson asked Mr.. Meyers If he
did not think it would cost the Penn
sylvania more to fight than 10 grant the
increase asked. Mr.. Meyers repeated that
the railroad could not stand any In
crease In expenses.
W. G. Lee. president of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen here, said that the
Pennsylvania had always taught their
men to expect more than employees OF
other roads and they could not now be
expected to forego that teaching.
Mr. Garretson then asked that Mr.
Meyers meet the committee tomorrow and
offer a proposition.
Mr. Meyers replied that he would meet
the men gladly at II o'clock He said
nothing about another proposition An Of
hcer of the Pennsylvania railroad said
today that a large number of letters
had been received by Mr.. Meyers from
affected employees saying that they were
not In favor of strike, and that they
considered the position of the railroad
| justifable.

Interstate Commerce Com
mission Takes Action
POLICY TO Be PURSUED
Formal Announcement of fian 10 *
Followed Expected Within Few
Days-MuItiplicity of All
Freight Tariffs

washington, July 13.-By formal
vote the interstate commerce comnlls-
sion today determined to suspend re-
cent general advances made by the rail-
ways in their freight rates.
The tariffs suspended in accordance
with the policy decided upon by the
commission for the most part are those
recently filed by the Western trunk
Line association and by the carriers III
eastern classification territory although
eome of the tariffs against which ques-
tions were raised were filed by lnol-
vidual railroads in other territories
BY arrangement with the President
and with the commission the railways
agreed to suspend their original ad-
vanced tariffs which were to have be-
come effective August l.
The postponement was made for the
purpose of enabling the commission to
thoroughly examine its authority un-
der the new railroad laws.
The understanding at the time the
agreement was reached was that such
advances as were general in character
and affected large interests should be
suspended pending an inquiry into the
reasonableness of the increases
Vote by Commission
The vote taken by the 1commission
was rather on line of policy to be
pursued by that body as to suspension
upon specific tariffs as hitherto an
nounced Now that the policy of the
commission has been determined 1t is
stated 1t will be automatically apple
able In a sense to such tariffs as fall
within its purview.
formal announcements will be made by
the commission of the precise nature of
it's policy and in a general way the
tariffs that are to be affected by 1t.
Until that announcement is made 1t is
said it. is not possible to state definitely
what particular rates win be suspended
Some advances contained in recently
filed tariffs undoubtedly will not be
suspended but 1t is reasonably certain
| 1t is declared that practically all OF the
general freight advances will be held W
pending an inquiry in the autumn.
In the multiplicity of freight tariffs
filed with the commission averaging six
or seven hundred changes in rates per
day the commission naturally will not
exercise it's authority to suspend except
In such instances as 1t is manifest that
the proposed new tariffs might do ser
fous injustice to shippers 1t Is averred
Authority win be exercised only when
extraordinary conditions in the view OF
the commission prevail.

GOVERNOR HADLEY NAMES BRINSMADE
 COMMISSIONER
Appointee Was Once Teacher in Bridgeport-Kept Book
 Store.

One of the episodes of the reform shake-up which the police system of St. Louis is undergoing, was the re-
 cent appointment. by Gov. Hadley of Missouri, of Hobart Brinsmade, a former Bridgeporter, to police com missionership. The St. Louis papers describe the appointment as a jolt to the Republican machine, but one highly satisfactory to the citys busi- ness interests and it's element of good ; citizenship. While a resident of Bridgeport MT. Brinsmade was a public school principal and also con- ducted a book store on Main street in partnership with the late Major Hincks. Subsequently he spent sew
 era1 years in London as the European agent for the Wheeler & Wilson com pany. He is now president of the King-Brinsnlade Mercantile Co.,, a wholesale millinery house. In con nection with his police board appoint ment the St. Louis papers refer flat teringly to the creditabIe part he has taken in various phases of that city's civic, business and religious activities. This is the first strictly opolitical of fee ever held by him. He gets the military title given him by the papers from his having been captain of Co. B of Bridgeport tthe Sedgwick Guard) when the late R. B. Fairchild was colonel of the Fourth regiment.
