from New York on this trip he had to sign a release to the company for any responsibility for returning his body to the United States in case of death. The company would agree, however, to return the body on payment of $50, to be deducted from the salary of the employee in rather large installments. Young Menocal decided that such posthum- ous luxuries were not for struggling engineers, so he signed the release.
 It was in Nicaragua, where he spent two years, that General Men ocal acquired the intimate knowledge of yellow fever and other tropical diseases that caused him to become one of the most active agents in the cleaning up of Havana during the American occupation.
 In 1892 General Menoca returned to Cuba. At that time he laid before the Spanish city authorities plan for cleaning up the city in the interest of the public health. No attention was paid to the recom- mendations.
 The military career of General Menocal dates from June 5, 1895, when he entered the revolutionary army as a private His education and his engineering ability made his promotion rapid Moreover he met the difficulties of a hard cam paign with the same courage that he faced yellow fever in Nicaragua. His command in Camaguay and Oriente provinces cleared that ter ritory of the Spaniards His storm ing of the fortified town of Las Tunas was one of the brilliant feats of the campaign.
 As inspector general of public works under the American admin istration General Menocal was an important factor in the cleaning up of Havana. Menocal left his posit- ion as inspector general to take charge of the interests of the Cuban American Sugar Company at Chap arra. During the time that this great hacienda has been under General Menocal's supervision it has become the best known sugar property in the world. The production there in 1910 of 540.0OO bags of sugar stands as a record from a single estate.

Special Correspondence,

Special Correspondence,
 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS May 19-Declines in cattle prices first two days last week were large ly regained later in the week. Heavy Monday runs at Chicago in the last month have hurt the trade at nearly every point, and is again the main bear influence today. At Kansas City every week early losses have been pretty thoroughly repaired, bu; until the liquidation fever has run its course the market will do well to hold its own.
 Receipts here today are 10000 head, market steady to 10 lower Heifers are selling steady. A five car drove of Nebraska heifers brought $500 today, fair to good heifers T.25 to Sz5. Steers sold unevenly, some sales steady, others 10 lower. Prime animals would reach $8S0 or $S.6O, and the bulk sells at S.S0 to S3l5. Country buy CTS were good support to the mar ket, one drove of fair heshed 1000 pound steers bringing T.60 as feed CTS, on which the packers had stop ped at S.35. Cows are dull today. buyers affirming that cheap steers are plentiful, and sell to butchers better than COWS. Sugar mill steers brought S8l5 today, Southern steers $6.a0 to S.55. Stock cattle are scarce. possibly because owners of same consider them good property and keep them at home. This is sup posed to be the dull season on thin cattle and feeders, yet the outgo from here last week was 5000 head, against 4OOO same week last year, prices largely at S25 to S75.
 Hog supplies here today oOOO head, market steady. with strong finish Top was $S.R 1-2, a shade higher than any sale last week, bulk of sales SS.3O to $8.45. As soon as the run at Eastern markets ligh- tens up, which will be in a few weeks, better prices will be paid in the West. Market authorities say that bacon hogs will sell 50 cents to dollar above heavy lard hogs this summer, the spread beginning as soon as the June delegation of grass widows appears on the market.
 Sheep and lambs sold steady to- day, the first sign of good health the mutton market has shown for some time. Texas mutton offerings are moderate, at S470 to $515, not many goats are included, browsers at S3.35 to $3.65, some Arizona spring lambs brought $8.40, Colorado wooded yearling lambs $8.25, and yet the to- tai receipts footed up only 9500 head, moderate Monday supply

HINT FOR HUNT IN S|AMESE
 CUSTOM
Fine Way for Governor To Reward His Pet
 Honor Men.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Kings of Siam apparently do not believe in the wisdom of allowing single women to drift unattached about the country. In certain dis tricts after a girl has reached an age where her securing for herself husband is considered doubtful she becomes "a daughter of the king" That is, the king takes upon himself the task of settling her suitably in life.
 His process is quite simple and to the point He proceeds to the Sia- mese penitentiary and looks over the various prisoners. There is a law in Siam that any prisoner can obtain his release by marrying one of this class of girls, and, naturally enough, any prisoner whom the king picks out is not likely to be back ward about consenting to the cere- mony. Nor does it make any diff ference if he is married, for the men of that country are not re- stricted to one wife.
 As far as can be learned, there is no allowance made for the inclina- ton of the girl in question. She has failed in her mission in life, as far as she herself is concerned, and she must abide by the decision of the king.

MENOCAL INAUGURATED
 AS PRESIDENT OF CUBA

1 HAVANA, May O.-General Ma
 rio Menocal was inaugurated sec. ond president of the Cuban republic shortly after noon today, succeeding Jose Miguel Gomez, who has been at the head of the government since the American control of the insular affairs came to an end on January ! 28. 1909. The new president recciv- ed his education in the United Stat es and is regarded as a warm friend of the great American republic. In his programme he promises to culti- vate closer relations with the United States, and to seek agricultural and industrial development
 The popularity of the new execu- tive was attested by the enthusias- tic demonstrations attending his in- duction into office and the great crowds that witnessed all of the fea- lures of the inauguration program. The taking of the oath of office was preceded by a parade of regular troops, civil organizations and the rural guard. The chief justice of the supreme court administered the oath of office to President Menocal on the balcony of the palace, ill view of the thousands of spectators who filled the Plaza de Armas. The re- tiring president and his successor were surrounded by the dignitaries of state, the members of congress and the diplomatic corps in brilliant uniforms After the induction of the president Senor Enrique Jose Var ona was sworn in as vice president of the republic
 General MenocaI goes into power as the leader of the Conservative party, and as a result of the decisive choice of the Cuban people in the elections of last fall The retiring administration was controlled by the Liberals. In the new senate the Conservatives have a strength of thirteen members against an opposit- ion of eleven. Tn the lower house there are now forty-three Liberals and forty-eight who are listed as conservatives. Five of the latter, however, are Liberal "mugwumps" and they will hold the balance of power.
 President Menocal is a man of high ideals and enjoys the respect of all classes of the Cuban people He is a civil engineer, an agricultur- ist and business expert, in addition to being a soldier. His uncle, Ami sette Menocal, was an American citizen, a commander and engineer in the United States navy It was under his direction that young Men ocal was educated. Since his thir- teenth year most of his time has been spent in the United States. He graduated from Maryland Agricul- tural College in 1884 and from Cor nell University four years later.
 Equipped with a splendid educa- ton and with a perfect knowledge of both English and Spanish, Gen eral Menocaps success dates from his first work after leaving Cornell His first engineering work was done in Nicaragua on the survey for an interoceanic canal Before sailing

GLOBE. May 22.-The

GLOBE. May 22.-The Record says:
 'Murderers under sentence of death in Arizona will not hang until after the people of the state have passed upon the question of capital punishment at the general election in November of next year, according to the declaration of Governor Hunt
 When the State legislature passed the penal code over the governors veto and created a pardon board consisting of the attorney general, the superintendent of public in- struction and a third member to be named by the other two, it failed to force Governor Hunt to sign the death warrants of the men now in the State prison awaiting execution, he explained The code does not take effect until October, and before that time, if 1t is necessary, the gov ernor can grant reprieves to the condemned men that will prevent them from going to the gallows in the time that he holds office. Gov crnor Hunt does not believe that # will be necessary for him to do this as he expects a referendum to be filed against the capital punish  ment clause of the penal code which would act as an automatic stay against the clause until the next eI- ection.
 "This furore that is being raised about my policies is only stalking horse that is being used in all at tack upon me because 1 would not ''be good- with certain large interests in the state." declared the governor. ''If had said to these people that they could name the state tax com mission and the state land commis- sion, 1 would be lauded instead of condemned now. 1 would be, in their eyes, the best governor Arizona ever had. But I believe that when man is holding down a job he ought 10 run it and l am going to run the governors office without any dicta- tion from any one except the people as a whole"
 The governor reiterated previous expressions of his views on the sub ject of capital punishment and ex- pressed the opinion that his action in reprieying murderers was being attacked because his enemies be- lieved it his most vulnerable point. Don't you consider you are vio- lating the spirit of the law if not the letter, and are abusing the power that was placed in your hands when you took your oath of office, by opposing the rulings of the courts l that these men should die?" the ! governor was asked.
 Most decidedly I do not" he replied "L am within my rights and there would not have been all this delay in settling the matter if the first legislature had done as I asked them and submitted the mat

Is MADE
BY BREWERY MEN

Strenuous protest against the proposed
ordinance limiting saloons in Salt Lake
to one for each 1000 population was
made by the local brewery interests to
the city commission Yesterday afternoon.
Joseph Lppman Of the Salt Lake Brew
ing company, A, Fisher OF the Fisher
Brewing company and w. p. Kiser of the
Wagner Brewing company met With the
commission in the mayors office and ar
sued against the ordina nee for nearly
two hours
They declared the ordinance would op-
crate to put out of business most of the
less pretentious saloons and leave all the
business to the Main street class of sa-
looms. which do not handle local beer at
all: Joseph Lippman intImated that the
ordinance would prove highly satisfac-
tory to the Royal Arch. which he said
would be able thereby TO strengthen Its
hold on local liquor business.
The ordinance complained against was
drafted several days ago by the city law
department at the request of Commits
sioner George d, Keyser, who has sub
mitted 1t to Mayor Samuel G, Park TO
be introduced to the commission next
Monday night. Mayor Park is not salts
fed with some OF the provisions Of the
ordinance and has not decided as vet to
introduce IL, Other members of the
commission were not entirely acquainted
with the measure. and though some plan
OF more rigid regulation of the saloon
business is being contemplated by the
commission rs a whole. the brewery men
were assured that no action would be
taken without giving them an ample
hearing.
