United States Will Not In
tervene in Cuba if Ameri-
can Lives and Property
Are Protected.
HAVANA REJOICING
OVER THE PROMISE
President Taft Gables He Is
Pleased Over Prompt Ac-
tions of Cuban Govern
ment in the Revolt.
(National News Association

Washington, May 27.-The United
States government will not intervene
in Cuba unless American lives are
menaced or American interests suffer
more heavily than they have up to
date in the negro uprising.
President Taft today sent a cable
gram to President Gomez, assuring
him that this government has no pre-
sent intention in intervening in Gu
ban affairs and that warships and
marines are being sent merely as a
precautionary measure.
President Taft telegraphed a mess
age from Jersey City to Washington
and it was officially cabled through
the regular state department chan
nels from this city to Havana. The
message was in answer to President
Gomez's cable to President Taft, as
suring him that the Cuban government
is able to cope with the situation and
that there is no call for interference
at present
President Taft's message was az
follows: Il am sincerely gratified to
learn of your governments energetic
measures to put down the disturb
ances and to know you are confident
of being successful. AS was fully ex
planned to the Cuban charge de affairs
here, this governments motive In
sending ships to Key West, just as
sending the Prairie to the Guantana
mo station, was merely to be able to
act promptly in case it should unfor
tunately become necessary to protect
American lives and property by rend
ering moral support or assistance to
the Cuban government. AS was made
quite clear at the time, these ordinary
| measures of precaution were entirely
disassociated from any question of in
| tervention.'''
The message of President Taf
clearly carries the threat that if the
Cuban government is unable. to car
ry out its policy of pacification thi:
country will act. Americans must bt
protected, is the policy which the
United States will follow. Protection
will also be given to the foreigners il
| Cuba to avert any diplomatic entangle
ment with the European powers
whose subjects own large interests il
| the island.

WOMEN AUTO|STS
HAVE ADVENTURE
Car Stops on Hill and Runs
Backward Over Embank-
ment.-None Injured.

A miraculous escape from serious
injury and probable death was the for
tune o. four Richmond people yester-
day afternoon when an automobile,
driven by Miss Hattie Eby, ran down
an embankment about six miles south
of this city. So.
The machine, which was owned by
James Eby, living two miles south of
the city, was driven by his daughter,
Hattie, with Mrs. James Eby, her
mother, Miss Alice Eby, her sister, and
Miss Myrtle Stone, the other occu-
pants. The party was returning from
the celebration of the one-hundredth
and fifth anniversary of the founding
of the Elkhorn church. AS they start.
ed up a hill between Elkhorn and this
city, two other vehicles started down
the incline and passage was virtually
blocked. Midway up the hill, the en-.
CINE on the machine went dead" the
machine stopping.
Miss Hattie Eby jumped from the
machine in order to crank it, after she
had put on the emergency brake, but
the brake was not strong enough and
the machine started back, running OF
the roadway and over a steep embank
ment AS the car started back Miss
Eby jumped into the machine aud at
tempted to stop It. Mrs. Eby. becoming
frightened, attempted to get out of the
car and jumped from it, striking a
fence. The others remained in the ma
chine and 1t ran to the bottom of the
embankment. Aside from slight bruis
es no members of the party were in
jured The machine was but slightly
damaged.
Had not Miss Hattie Eby jumped
into the car when she did and clamped
the emergency brake as tightly as pos
sible, it is likely the car would have
dashed down the embankment with
the result that the occupants would
have been seriously injured and the
machine demolished.
1t was some time before the ma
chine was hauled from the ditch.

LIBRARIAN MAKES
A YEARLY REPORT
More Children Read Solid
Literature Than Adults,
1t Is Shown.

Why is it that one fifth of the books
Richmond children take home from
the Morrisson-Reeves Library are
sound, substantial reading, while ouly
one-sixth of the literature their elders
secure is of such nature?
This shows up on the circulation tg
ures of the librarian of the Morrisscn
Reeves Library. The report covers the
fiscal year ending May 1.
The library has grown steadily in
circulation. The report for 1911-12
showed that 1871 books had been is
sued to patrons. 1t is interesting to- no.
tice that during the present librarian s
term of tenure the number of books
bought is just little less than the in.
crease in circulation
OF total of 49,719 books used by
adults, 1921 were books of reference
In fact the books used which were not
fiction were nearly one-third of the
adult reading. This does not contradict
the former statement about the reia
tion of non-f1ction books carried home
by children and their parents.
The installation of player piano rolls
has met with great favor among those
who have such pianos. Asked whether
phonograph records might be installed
Mrs. Bernhardt said: The library
feels some hesitancy in purchasing
such records, not because they would
be unused or inappropriate, but simply
because they could not be used by al
the patrons. In the case of the music
rolls for player pianos the library ex
pended no purchase money but merely
showed it's willingness to serve the
public and to accept generous offer
l wish there were some way of max
ing exchange of music for phono
graphs as they are quite as legitimate
a form of record as printing, rolls ol
music, documents or works of art

AN ASSASSINATION
PLOT IS REVEALED
MANY Conspirators Against
the Italian King Are
Placed in Custody.
tNational News Association

ROME. May 27.-Wholesale ar
9ests are being made throughout Italy
today as a result of a discovery of a
plot to assassinate King Victor EN-
manuel of Italy. The discovery of the
plot followed admissions made by An
tonic D'Alba. the young anarchist who
tried to shoot King Victor some
months ago. A number of alleged con-
spirators have already been taken in
to custody at Milan, Naples, Rome and
Bologne. At least three self-confessed
anarchists are said to have been ar
rested here. The authorities will give
no information relative to the scope of
the intrigue. nor will they admit how
many arrests have been made. That
the police had delayed making ar
rests until the last minute so as not
to arouse suspicion and hinder their
investigation is evident. In the mean
time King Victor exposes himself as
little as possible and when he appears
in public is escorted by strong
guard.

YOUTHFUL ITALIAN
BEWA|LS HIS FATE
Came Here to Seek Fortune,
Now PAGES a Cell Waiting
for Deportation.

Behind the incarceration of Michael
Gallichio. the young Italian who was
placed in the county jail short time
ago by a United States immigrant in
spector, because the youth was suf-
fering from pemphigus vulgaris, a
deadly skin disease, lied q story which
Is pathetic to the extreme.
Gallichio came to this country in
March with the expectation of making
fortune and returning to Italy. where
he was to have been marrid within a
few years. Upon his shoulders not only
rested the responsibility of making
his own living. but also of supporting
his aged mother. Shortly after he ar
rived here immigration inspectors as
certained that he was afflicted with
the deadly disease which is not infec-
tuous, but fatal to the victim He Sc
cured work on the Pennsylvania con-
struction gang at Dublin. but was soon
after placed in a hospital at Cincinnati.
from which he escaped and returned to
this county.
Day and night Gallichio PAGES his
cell at the county institution. During
the quietness of the night Gallichio
can be heard walking and weeping and
wailing bitterly. He pleads with the
caretaker in broken English to release
him and let him return to his work.
So far nothing has been heard by
Sheriff Steen from the immigration de
partment as to what disposition will
be made of the unfortunate Italian. II
is likely that sooner or later he will
be deported.

A difference in opinion as to a

at the meeting OF the commissioners
Saturday afternoon, in regard to the

serted that Vice President Sherman,
had not gone back to Washington
with the senator's resignation. Lori
