MINISTER'S ADVICE
PREVENTSCONFLIC
Arrest of Americans at Isle of
Pines Occasion for Near
Riot by Colonists

HAVANA, Aug. 22.-Passengers ar
irving this morning from the isle of
Pines, where A. W. Gardener and seven
other Americans were arrested yester-
day on a charge of threatened homicide
and arson, say that only the arrival OF
John IS. Jackson. the United States min
lister to Cuba, prevented a serious con-
f1ict with the local authorities, Ameri-
can colonists on the Isle of Pines, who
number several hundred. had gathered
from all sections of the island at Nueva
Corona the capital to protest against
the arrest of the Americans on what is
claimed to be trumped up charge.
A local judge then refused to consider
the charges, and the case was appar-
emily closed. Friday, the prosecuting
attorney at Havana ordered the ac-
cuSed arrested and confined in Jail until
they could be sent to Havana for trial.
The American colonists were deter
mined to oppose the deportation of the
prisoners and were prepared if neces-
sary to prevent the landing of the reve-
nue. cutter sent to transport them to
Havana and to storm the Jail and re-
lease the prisoners.
Minister Jackson Immediately on his
arrival assembled the indignant colo
nists and warned them that they must
obey the Cuban law or suffer serious
consequences.

RUFF Fighting TO !
KEEP OUT OF JAIL
Another Batch of Technicalities
for Superior Judge Lawlor
to Sift

Another batch of technical reasons
evolved by Abe Ruef and his attorneys,
Thomas B. Dozier and George b. Keane,
why he should not be recommitted to
the county Jail pending determination
of his appeal from conviction, were
presented yesterday to Judge Lawlor.
These reasons had no reference to
Ruef's alleged sickness, but were al
most exclusively concerned with section
1910 of the penal code.
The court has no jurisdiction to
grant the motion to recommit him to
the county Jail Ruef argues, because
he has appealed from judgment and the
appeal Is now pending. The sole power.
authority and jurisdiction of the supe-
rior court to send back to Jail a de-
PENDANT who has once been admitted
to bail is derived from section 1910, he
states. adding that this is not one of
the cases coming within the purview
of that section and that no condition
has arisen that would empower the
court to axe any action in the prem
ises. The action of Judge Cabaniss in
admitting him to bail in the sum of
S25000O is still operative, Ruef con-
tends, and it is not within the power
of the superior court to revoke that
action of the judge.
In other words, as his attorney has
previously said, Ruef's argument is
that he has a vested right in his
liberty pending determination of his
appeal which can not be. taken from
him. Judge Lawlor did not pass on
the objections raised by Ruef but di-
rected that August 80 testimony of
physicians should be adduced regard
ing Ruef's condition of health. In the
meanwhile. the lawyers will submit
authorities and briefs on the legal
questions raised.

ner smoke, said, Now that he has had
couple of good drinks give him that
cigar Certainly" replied Jim. and
the moment the Swede got it he reached
for and found a match. and striking IL
on his jeans, was soon drawing on the
cigar like a porous -plaster. Jim had
put the bottle back and had picked up
the reins and was just saying so long
when something happened.
1t was for sure a Swede fourth of
July. for when the cigar exploded the
fire and the air was full of tobacco
dust, powder and ashes, and so were
the Swede's eyes, nose and whiskers-
We got off with our lives. Jim was
good driver and the horses, tired of the
woods and mosquitoes took the back
track with alacrity. The Swede was
so fiabbergasted between the whisky
and the powder and tobacco dust that
his aim was bad, and missing the horse
with his pitchfork, he STAYED the boat
all to pieces, so that it meant two or
three new boards and other repairs
when Jim patched it up later. 1 don't
know just how we escaped I think
it was Jim's driving and the horses that
saved the day, and had we not dis
tanced him so we never could have
spared the few seconds we required to
get the rig over those fence wires But
we made good getaway and our boat
alone suffered from the swing of that
murderous fork, which would have
killed the horses first and us afterward.
for we were defenseless against the in
furiated six footer who aWielded the
fork about as Ajax must have welded

quarter hour for US and how we es-
capped alive I can't tell even now.
AS we. logged home empty handed
with no fish or anything else to show
for our trip and our boat broken Jim
was doing a heap OF thinking and I
let him think. It was doing him good.
1t IS exercise for some people to think
now and again. But finally I broke in
and began to guy him about his won
derfuI lake. and this is what he said:
"Old man. you are a great fellow for
jokes; YOU always We're; but you must
be careful and watch yourself, for
maybe some day you might play a Joke
on the wrong fellow and perhaps get
yourself into serious trouble"
I said nothing in return. but kept
turning over in my mind a refrain I
had heard somewhere about not troub-
ling trouble till trouble troubles you.
and I asked myself whether we hunted
through the forty-third degree. and if
his aim had been better and we had
not had such swift and spirited horses
whether we really should not have
found real trouble in the person of thar
terrible Swede. Evidently Jim was nor
very sure about it: he was not realfv
familiar with trouble. for he had not
served four years at the front during
the rebellion. as I had. But 1 e,fess
we ran against trouble all right. Nv
but it was an exciting moment to sit
there and know that cigar was loaded
and wonder what il would do to thai
Swede's bushy front and then to see il
actually so off like a torchlight pro-
cession on a stampede. and then to
wonder what the Swede would do to

Jim sat there paralyzed, speechless.
while I simply reached into the grip
under my knees and lifted out one of
the quart bottles of whisky and got the
cork out with my teeth Ga corkscrew
was too slow spontaneously with his
coming-remember that word. for mo-
ments just then had to be psychologist
ally concatenated with his arrival.
Well like William Penn offering
gifts of peace to the savages, I offered
the bottle to that savage Swede and
said, Have a drink
Whether it was the fancy label, the
new. full bottle, or whether he was
whisky thirsty. l don't know; but he
took the bottle. and if you can't hear
1t gurgle, gurgle, gurgle down his
throat, I can.
When that gigantic Swede untangled
the neck of the bottle from his whisk-
cry undergrowth he was smiling all
over. I saw that it had hit the spot.
OF course we could fish, fish all we
liked. He told us about his farm, when
he came in and what hand he had
cleared and what he was to plant and
all about 1t, and nothing must do, but
Jim. feeling good over the fact that
our troubles were all over, must pull
out our other quart bottle and ask the
old Scandinavian to have another. And
he had it.
Not to be outdone in hospitality and
manners by Jim, and remembering that
Jim had. unsmoked in his vest pocket, a
cigar loaded with powder that I had
given him that morning and which he

people and things that never happened.
Fiction is tame and tiresome. too, com
pared with the thrills running through
the everyday life Of some of the people
I know.
BY the same token nobody looking on
from the outside half suspects the hero
ism and meanness. the selfshness and
sacrifices. the nobleness and niggardli-
ness, the cankering sores and the sub
terfuges to keep them in the back
ground, the struggles. defeats and tri-
umphs smoothed over by a gracious
manner and held in leash by a social
training. I could tell you of house in
this town where the father. many times
a millionaire, is so mean and close
with the family he has to be catoled
and cheated-positively robbed and his
pockets picked-for every cent they
get, just because he likes to feel his
power over them. He would not dare
to grind a man under his heel to such
an extent, so he takes it out on his
family of defenseless women. Within
my hearing, only portiere between us,
he has laid violent hands upon his
daughters, actually struck them with
force that sent them reeling, and has
taken his wife by the shoulder and
shaken her until she cried for mercy.
And how do they take it? Without
one exception, although they never get
a decent word from the old codger and
can not possibly feel anything but
hatred for him. they choke it back and
try to live it down and always speak
of him in the kindliest manner. The
girls-before company-call him papa
dear" while there is, perhaps, the blue
imprint of his hand upon their shoul-
ders. OF course they are ALL down
in their hearts. looking forward to the
time when papa dear will be safely
slowed away underground; they can't
help it. but no one has ever by look
or word from them gotten hold of the
fact that he is not a model father and
husband. This is the quality of cour-
age and honor that made the martyrs
in the early church. but these. women,
living up TO a social standard merely.
in order TO keep down a scandal, keep
on with dogged allegiance to duty,
with no faith or religion of any sort as
far as I can see
Tt is Just this matter OF living up to
ones standard that makes a hero or
coward, whatever that standard may
be. you know, and the most pathetic ex-
ample of heroic courage was made in
the. to me. most foolish little cause in
the world. But don't doubt the poor

perry places in her skyward climb.
scheming she did not say word about
the cancer that was eating into her
breast She would not even admit it
to herself, 1 imagine. but put the
thought from her as too terrible to con-
template.
In her weakened state the disease
made fearful inroads and she began
losing strength; still nobody suspected
it. All during the summer she dragged
herself around after the girl giving
her every point she could and training
her, in a very fever of anxiety, into the
history and antecedents of the people
she must cultivate. The girl didn't
seem to share her mothers social am
bitions, so 1t was constant effort to
keep her up to the scratch Being in
life was worth living for. and it was.
I guess. about all her life had meant to
her
When at last she was ready to give
the tea, however, the doctors told her
she was to go to bed and be built UP
for an operation, but she laughed at
them. Day after day she worked away
with decorators and dress makers and
caterers and the Lord knows what not
to make her reception a great success.
She stood up three hours receiving her
friends and introducing her daughter
into the social world while burning up
with a fever. The girl, who was a very
nice. good looking girl and very much
more sincere and genuine than her
mother, seemed to make good i'm
er saw her future assured in the world
she had been shut out from all her
life. That was reward enough for her.
The next day she took TO her bed
and suffered tortures until she died.
But the look of peace that overspread
her ceuntenance as she lay in her cas-
ket was not so much from the joys
of heaven, I am sure. as from the fact
that she had succeeded in getting her
daughter "in society"
In another house, where there are
big dinners and grand receptions every
season and where there is SO much
glitter and glare you oan not think
shadows could lurk anywhere. the son
of the house is bringing the gray hairs
of his parents in sorrow to their grave,
while every one who knows him on the
outside holds him up as a model son..
He does not dissipate, is attentive to
business, takes an active interest in
