HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS Of
AMERICAN MONEY IN CUBA

hold of the entire Government indebt-
edness of Cuba, including provincial
and municipal bonds. In the estimate
of 1920, 100000 thus reached no direct
account is taken of the private wealth
of the many American citizens resid-
ing in Cuba.
Estimates of the aggregate amount
of American capital invested in Cuba
vary through a wide range, some as
high as $45O,OOO0OO and others as low
as $1OO,OO0,OOO. The nature of a con-
siderable portion of American invest
ments, especially those of the city of
Habana, is such as is practically pre-
clude the possibility of detailed enum-
Grafton. American investments in the
eastern end of the island are, how
ever, more obvious. Consul Holiday,
of Santiago de Cuba, states that he
thinks a conservative estimate of the
amount of American capital invested
in Camaguey Province would be $685.
100000, and a Oriente Province $780,
100000. Both of these amounts are ex-
elusive of American interest in the
Cuba Railroad.

Battle Greek, Mich, July 7.--Attor-
ney General Wickersham spoke before
the Michigan State Bar association
yesterday and discussed the supreme
courts recent Interpretation OF the
Sherman antitrust law in the Stand
ard Oil and Tobacco cases. He gave
his unqualified endorsement TO the
courts application or the co-caIled
rule Of reason"
Those who have thoughtlessly yield
ed to the superficial conclusion re-
sulting from the application by the
chief justice OF the rule of reason to
the Interpretation of the Sherman law"
he said, ''can find little to justify the
idea that the Sherman law has been
made ineffective by those two deci-
sions, for precisely the contrary lis
established by these two great judg-
ments.
The most cursory examination Of
the decree in the tobacco case-the
most casual consideration OF the dras-
tic and far-reaching remedy imposed
makes it perfectly apparent that the
Sherman law, perhaps for the first
time, has been demonstrated to be an
actual, effective weapon to the ac-

Stokes ON THE
WITNESS STAND

New York, July w. Z. Stokes. the
millionaire, resumed his testimony
when the court convened today for
further examination on the charge that
an attempt to murder Stokes was made
a month ago by Miss Lillian Graham
and Miss Ethel Conrad. The purpose
or these proceedings is to determine
whether the evidence is SUFFICIENT to
warrant sending the case to the grand
jury, but the examination and cross
examination is conducted with such
thoroughness that 1t amounts practi-
cally to trial
Stokes said he was not sure how
many letters exhibited yesterday were
his. He thought about eight. He told
of a visit made to his ONCE on Nav
n last, by Miss Conrad, which was the
first time the letters were brought to
his notice.
Miss Conrad, according to Stokes.
proceeded to narrate to him her family
history. She was according to this
narrative, daughter OF Russian
prince, who met her mother In Louis
VILE KY, and eloped with her, Miss
Conrad being born in Bluefelds, Ven
ezuela, where her father was killed in
a riot.
Losses of one kind or another re-
duced the widows property and what
was left, Stokes said Miss Conrad told
him, was squandered by man her
mother married The daughter then
had to go to work.
She said" the witness continued.
"she had come to see me on her law
yer's advice. to tell me about the let
ters she found on the table with sui
eide note"
The prosecution closed its case with
the examination Of the policeman who
first reached the house after the shoot
ing. He said the girls told him that
each OF them had shot Stokes. At the
close of the morning session 1t was
that the defendants would not

The foregoing, given in the testi-

Washington, July THE II
appropriation OF s2oO0O.O00 for
years to improve the post roads an,
rural delivery routes of the govern
ment was urged in the senate today
by Mr.. Swanson Of Virginia. Con-
lending that despite the amazing
achievements in many directions scor-
ed by this country it is not curious
that the United States has the poorest
public roads and highways OF any civ
ilized nation. He said he regarded the
subject as the paramount one before
the American people.
Mr.. Swanson explained that his plan
would open up more than 100000
miles Of roads to government aid, that
the states or local authorities would
furnish an amount equal to that APP
propriated by the federal government
and that the total would be divided
among the states, according to popu
lation. He said the limitation TO post
al roads and rules eliminated any con-
stitutional objections. The bill would
create a road department, consisting
Of engineers and capable officials to
carry out the project. The measure,
he explained, was modelled somewhat
after the Virginia law.
THE federal government" Senator
Swanson said, should delay no longer
In extending to the state and local
authorities generous aid for road i'm
provements. When the federal gov
eminent commences TO bear its fair
share of the burden of the improving
Dur public roads. that day will mark
The beginning of the end Of bad roads
