QUIET RESTORED IN CUBA
One Political Riot, However.
Ends in Death of One
Partisan.

A riot broke out late tonight at a con.
servative meeting in a densely populated
district of the city. The combatants
used knives and pistols. One man was
killed and several were wounded.
The fight apparently was started by
Zayistas. The police finally restored
order, after which cavalry patrolled the
disturbed section.
No further disturbances have been re-
ported in any part Of the island. The
only change in the political situation was
the revocation by President Gomez Of
his appointment Of Col. Pujol to supreme
command of the national police under the
title of supervisor, and the substitution
of Gen. Pablo Mendieta, commander of
the infantry Of the regular army.
Col Pujol is simply soldier and has
no political affiliations. Gen.. Mendieta
is reputed to be pronounced Zayista.
Interpreted by Conservatives.
The conservatives interpret the appoint
ment Of Gen. Mendieta to mean that
President Gomez is determined to throw
all the strength of the administration
against Gen. Mario Menocal for the
presidency.
The Zayistas say that President Gomez
is so keenly appreciative Of She i'm
portance Of an absolutely fair election
and the preservation of order that he
considers that this demands the services
of military officer Of the highest rank.
The change is expected to be productive
of increased bitterness

Staying BATTLES POLICE
Note Leads to Finding of Mu-
tiIated Body of Woman
in Vacant House.

ST. LOUIS, October 26.-The nude and
with five gashes on the head. a rope
around the neck, a gag in the mouth. a
gunny sack over the head and the hands
tied together with cloth, was found
today in the basement of a house which
has been vacant since September 3.
One end of the rope was wrapped
around a gas pipe in such a way that 1T
supported the body in a sitting posture.
Indications are that the body had been
in the basement for several weeks. The
cuts on the head, it was said at the
morgue, might have been made with a
hatchet. No weapon with which the cuts
on the head might have been made was
found near the body.
Directed to House by Note.
The finding of the body was the result
of a note received by mail by Chief Of
Police Young, which read:
eff you will go to 207 Locust street
you will find a body hanging.

Beside the body was pile Of cloth
ing, all of its much worn. On the floor
near the body was a newspaper, dated
story Of the arrest of men alleged to
have been connected with the New West
minister, B. c.. bank robbery.
The last tenants of the house were un-
able tonight to aid the police in identify
ing the woman.

J PLAN | J! ] | ! TO RETAL|ATE
District Motorists Want Reel
procity in Licenses.
MARYLAND LAW CRITICISED
Washingtonians Pay About $50, 900
to State and Get Nothing in Re-
turn, It Is Claimed.

Unless reciprocity is granted to Dis
trict motorists by the state Of Maryland
with regard to automobile licenses, it is
declared by those interested, a move
ment will probably be started to bring
about a regulation that will prevent
Maryland autoists using District roads or
streets even temporarily without paying
the license fee.
Several means Of retaliating for the
injustice which District motorists claim
is done them by Maryland have been
suggested. The agitation may result in
a regulation by the Commissioners or a
change in the law. If that is necessary.
requiring Maryland motorists to pay the
same license fee that is charged Dis
rangement Maryland autoists can enter
the District without first obtaining a
license. It is merely necessary for them
to show their Maryland license to the
police, who Issue a temporary District
license to them free of all charge. Dis
trict motorists, however, are forced to
either pay a heavy license fee for using
the Maryland roads surrounding the Dis
trict or run the risk Of being arrested
and forced to pay heavy fine.
Pay State $4,000 a Year.
Washingtonians are paying about $780,
600 year, it is estimated, in license fees
to the state Of Maryland and are receiv-
ing nothing In return, 1t is urged, for
none Of the money is used to repair the
roads leading out from the District. In
six months Of 1910 they paid $7.325SO in
fees. In 1911 they paid $21 $40. 70, and in
the seven months Of 1912 ending July 81
had paid S26251,64
The Maryland automobile law is so
worded as to discriminate against motor
lists of the District, but not against those
of any state in the Union. In 1910 the
Governor of Maryland issued proclama-
ton granting to motorists of surround
ing states" who have paid their license
in their respective Jurisdictions the right
was worded states" and in a foreword
it was explained that the use of this
word did not cover any of the federal
territories In this way the law welcom-
ed all motorists with the exception OF
those from the District.
License Fee Increased.
The former Maryland license law pro-
vided fees ranging from $6 to $18 for
cars ranging from twenty-horsepower to
forty horsepower or more. Last March
it was amended in such way that 1t
resulted in an increase of about 40 per
cent in the license fee for the average
car.
The District Commissioners have re-
quested the Governor of Maryland to
grant to District motorists the same
privileges extended to those from the
states, but no action has yet been taken.
In the meantime District motorists are
being forced to pay high license fees for
the privilege of entering Maryland with
their cars while motorists from Pennsyl-
vania, Virginia. West Virginia and Della
ware can drive through the state at will
without being charged a cent.
