MANY CUBANS ARRESTED
FOR LABOR PROPAGANDA
Appeal to American Federation of
Labor for Moral Support Against
Hard Labor Sentence.

Appeals for the help Of the American
Iaboring man in liberating his "op-
pressed comrade" in Cuba have been
received by the American Federation
of Labor. Several inhabitants of the
republic who have spread the trade
union propaganda in the island republic
have been cast into prison, and the
labor committee now is making siren
uous efforts to get them out. They will
be tried soon, according to the letter,
and will be condemned to hard labor
But the Cuban committee feels that
with the moral support of the United
States trade unionists these men may
be saved from the hard labor sentence
Accompanying the letter is protest
against the outrages of the sugar mills
and the expulsion of workingmen."
"One of the forms of prosecutions to
the laborers is their expulsion from the
island" says the protest. TT is enough
that when the proprietor makes a COM
plant to the police or constable about
his workingmen they are violently and
deported from the republic.
Honest Spaniards. full of ambition,
strength and health, are called .anarch-
lists and must go.
Amy one who reads the text of that
decree Of expulsion can imagine how
dangerous is the use of this old and
vexatious practice. In such documents
it is stated, for instance, that this or
that individual has been reading an
archistic papers. That argument alone
is sufficient for a reprisal."

WHY ATHLETES DIE YOUNG.
Government Report Says They
Leave Strenuous Life Too Abruptly,

Champion athletes die young" Is the
conclusion Of federal inspectors APP
pointed to Investigate the length of the
lives of athletes, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. In making their investi-
cations the government officials relied
upon the opinions of men who knew
school and university athletics thor
oughly.
DR.. w. G. Anderson, director of the
Yale gymnasium. pointed out that until
1905 the Yale men who had achieved
distinction In athletics lived longer
than those who neglected sports. Since
1900 there has been an increase in the
death rate of Yale athletes. and es-
peeially among oarsmen. DR.. James A.
kase, physical director at Indiana Uni
versity. says the reason college ath-
letes sometimes have heart trouble is
that they change their habits Of living,
after graduation. He says that a man
who participates in strenuous sports
for six or seven years, accustoming his
continue to take exercise after gradua-
ton, so that the full capacity of the
heart will be used. The same opinion
is held by DR.. Thomas .. Wood, who
life.
DR.. C. v. P. Young. director in Cor
nelPs gymnasium, says that basket ball
events put athletes to strains which
have little or nothing to commend
them as contributing to the physical
welfare of the contestant" DR.. c. l.
Brewer, director of athletics at the
University OF Missouri. believes that
athletes do not die younger than other
men,.
The authorities agree that a man of
thirty years. who has not played
strenuous games in his youth, should
not exert himself in competition. but
the ex-athlete may continue to play in
nearly all games excepting those re-
qulring sudden strains OF the heart II
he trains properly, even these sports
will do him no harm. The man of
forty-ive years ought to play tennis
moderately. golf bowling and hand
ball. Swimming. moderate rowing.
horseback riding, tramping and fishing
are beneficial, and not too strenuous
for men OF that age.

Preparedness Advocates Form League in Richmond
BUS RAMS CITY CAR;
0TTE ESCAPES INJURY

Harry Otte. driving the big auto
hack running between here and Ok
ford, had a collision this morning with
a trolley car at Eighth and North D
streets, and as a result the service be-
tween the two towns will be crippled
for a few days. No one was injured.
The Oxford hack was going west on
D street and the trolley north on
Eighth. Both were travelling at good
rate of speed and it was impossible for
either the motorman or chauffeur to
avert the collision. The auto truck hit
the front end OF the car and there was
an awful crash. People who saw the
accident expected to find that Otte
was either killed or severely injured
but he did not receive scratch.
He expects to resume operations not
later than Friday with a new truck.
No damage was done to the trolley
car.

FINANCES OF US. STRONG
SAYS M'AD00 IN REPORT
ON NATIONS TREASURY

WASHINGTON. Dec. S-"The H.

never been SO strong and SO favorable
as now," says Secretary of the Treas
urcr William G. McAdoo In his annual
report. 'Cur financial resources are
the greatest in our history and our
banking system, through the creation
and operation Of the federal reserve
system, is now the strongest in the
world"
The secretary asserts that the finan-
cial condition of the treasury Is SO
strong that there will be a balance in
the general fund on June 80, 1916, of
$32,644.605. Should the war tax, which
expires Dec. 81, 1915, be re-enacted
and should the one cent a pound duty

ENGINEER DRAWS Three PLANS
FOR new MAIN STREET BRIDGE

One Of the plans proposed by the
engineer is for bridge with large
arch across the river channel and a
smaller arch across the c. & o. switch
tracks; the second plan is for a
bridge with an arch across the river
channel and several smaller arches
leading to thu east abuttrlent; the
third is for a bridge on a level ex
tending to point between Second and
Third streets.
This last plan is believed to be i'm.
practical for the reason that the C. &
o. railroad company has refused to
vacate the right of way across Main
street thereby necessitating a grade
crossing in event a bridge is built on
a level with the west end The further
question of the legality of a county
appropriation for this length bridge
will probably block this plan.

ELECTRIC PLANT
.ADvER RIlSES.E0
$4,000 TURBINE
Board Says New Unit Need.
ed to Handle Increased
Business Even If City Alb
serbs L., H. and P.

The board of public works today de-
cided to advertise for bids for a
2,00O-kilowat turbin for the municipal
electric plant. The approximate cost
of the new unit, which will have q
third more capacity than the two Units
now carry the city plants load, will
be 100000. Two obsolete units, no
longer used, can be sold, however, and
the amount received applied to the
purchase price of the new unit.
An accident at the plant last night
cut off the city service for some time.
Had this happened during the day
when the plant carries its heaviest
load, power users would have been
greatly inconvenienced. In conse'
quence the board decided today that
the addition of new unit to the plant
is essential so that the load could al
ways be carried even If two or three
active units happened to be down at
the same time.
Reaches Capacity Limit.
Another unit for the city plant is
take over the electric plant of the
perintendent Kleinknecht said. "At
the city plant there are now operated
two units, one an engine operated
generator with a rated capacity of 800
k. W.. the other an engine operated
generator with a rated capacity of 400
k. W. These two units have pulled,
however, as high as 1900 k. W., and
the daily peak load averages between
1,40O and 1900 k. w. 1t can be seen
that the plant has now reached its
capacity limit, and the continued In
crease of business requires an addi.
tional unit. We have two obsolete
units, turbin, with rated capacity
Of 500 k W., and a 800 k. W. AL free
engine"
The l.. H. and P. electric plant has
three units. two obsolete. The ser
viceable unit, installed this year, is a
turbin with a rated capacity of 1000
k. W. Kleinknecht says that in the
event this plant is merged with the
city plant there would still be needed
a new 1000 k. W. turbin, because the
L. H. and P. turbin would only be
enough to handle the business that
plant now enjoys, and which would be
taken over by the city.
'In the last two years the city
plants business has increased 35 per
cent, and we now have between Is and
so per cent of the business in the city.
and our business still continues to in
crease at the same rate it has main
tanned during the last two years" said
kleinknecht.

31.4O1
The outlook for the fiscal year 1917
which will begin next July Is not 90
bright. Mr.. McAdoo tells the congress.
In view of this attitude of the secre-
tary and the general feeling among ad-
ministration leaders that retention Of
the war tax and the sugar duty Is in
evitable. 1t is believed here that the
government will not be deprived Of
these sources of revenue, and this be-
ing the case. Mr.. McAdoo says. an ex-
penditure of $93,S00.O0O on the pre-
paredness program will roll up a de-
ficiency Of $50, SOC. 1874 by June 80. 1917,
the end of the 1917 fiscal year. To
meet this deficiency. Mr.. McAdoo
would increase the internal revenue
He figures that the total increase in
revenues needed Is $112.SO6.3 .394. pro-
vided $25.000.000 worth of Panama
Canal bonds are not sold. II the issue
should be made, that much would be
subtracted from the amount OF ad-
ditional revenue required.
Mr.. McAdoo's suggestions for rails
ing this additional revenue are to:
Increase the corporation and person.
al income taxes by providing higher
rates and. in the case Of the personal
income tax. reducing the $4,000 ex-
emption for single persons and 1000
exemption for married folk to $4,000
and 81. 1000 respectively.
Increase the taxes on gasolene.
crude and refined oils. horsepower Of
automobiles and other internal com
bustion engines and various other
things where collection could be made
at the source" Mr.. McAdoo also says
that, following the European war. a
flood of imports may be expected
which will increase customs duties.
