JUDGE PONCE HEARS G|bSON'S VERSION Tone of Cuban Press Con- corning Assault Mod
 crates Greatly

Havana, August 31.-Consequent upon the vigorous representations or Hugh Gibson, charge de'affaires of the American legation, to the Cuban gov ernment, Judge Ponce of the correc- tional court called at the legation this afternoon and received MT. Gibson's statement giving the particulars of the assault made upon him last Monday night by Enrique Maza, newspaper reporter, who is still being held in jail under ss0o0 bail to await indictment for the assault.
 The tone of the Cuban press con- corning the assault has moderated greatly In it's bitterness against MT. Gibson, except that of such sensational organs as Fl Siglo, the Commercio and the Reconcentrado, which continue to pour out columns of insults on the American legation has presented to the Cuban state department strong pro- test against toleration by the Cuban government of such Journalistic at tacks on member of the American diplomatic corps.

Spartansburg. s. C., August S1.-m an open letter to Gov. Cole L. Blease, Sena- tor B. R. Tilman in characteristic language, resents the oft repeated as sertions in this state that Bleaseism is Tilllmanism.
 'Tillmanism means genuine democracy. the rule of the people-of all the white people-rich and poor alike with special privileges and favors to none. with equai- ity of opportunity and equality of bur den to all,' says the senator.
 "Bleaseism on the contrary means per- sonal ambition and greed for offices-the offices to be used not for the welfare of all the people and of the state but for Blease and his friends, none others need apply"
 Further he says: You never shall, if I can prevent it, carry out your threat tc make the people of South Carolina sweat blood because so many of them have not been bamboozled by your magic appeals. '

BLAME FLACMAN
 FOR WRECK

Washington, August 31-Responsibility for the accident on the Chicago, Burling ton and Quincy railroad at Western Springs, Illinois, July 14, by which Il passengers and two employees were killed and number of passengers and em- ployes were injured, was placed by the interstate commerce commission today on FIagman Woodworth. Chief Inspector II. W. Beknaps report to the commission said the accident which was a rear end collision might have been prevented had the fagman exercised proper precau- tions in warning the oncomine train Sharp criticism also Is made in the re- port of the high rate of speed at which the train was being run, particularly as the weather was heavy and foggy. One of the officials, an inspector of trans portation, testified excessive sI eed is the cause of about 75 per cent of railroad catastrophes and accidents In the last few years. Inspector Belknap points out that if this statement be true 1t lies wholly within the power of the railroa managers virtually to put an end to ca- tastrophes averaging 75 per cent of har howing calamities.

Trdinmen of Southern
 Roads May Be Called
 Out On Monster Strike

Do you expect to call a striker" MT. Garrettson was asked tonight.
 You had better put that question 10 the railroads. The only man whom l know can answer such a question Is A1r. Baker
 While it is believed the men will be able 10 reach some agreement with the railroads there is no doubting the fact that rupture is imminent. The de- mands of the trainmen. the railroad officials say. would mean an annual increase in the pay rolls of something like $3,000,000. This. the railroad of icials say, they cannot and will not stand. The committee representing the trainmen met this statement charge that they are only asking such wages as are paid on other roads which com pare with those involved in the pres ent struggle They claim their men are working for much less money and put ting in more hours for d days work than are men employed in a similar capacity in the east and west.
