For dis tricts farther south. the Georgia velvet bean is probably the most desirable of the medium early sorts, although the Chinese seem to produce larger yields of pods A map accompanying the eircular already mentioned indicates the limits within which each of the well-known varieties will mature.

United States ApeaIs
For Peace in Cuba

Washington, d. c., Feb. 13. = An ap-
peal to the Cubans not TO plunge their
country into another revolution has
been sent to Havana by Secretary
Lansing. Aroused to the realization
that the contested Presidential election
in Cuba already had reached the incipi-
ent stage of rebellion. the State De-
partment decided to issue to the people
an urgent injunction to await the out
come of the voting and to abide by the
decisions of their courts
The communication was sent to the
American Minister with instructions TO
land.
1t has been reported that the opposi-
ton party has appealed to the United
States to supervise the special election
that had been called for February ID
but at the State Department it was de-
MED that such request had been re-
ceived. Through the American Minis
ter at Havana it was made clear that
the American Government would regret
any necessity for forcible interference
again in Cuban affairs but it was intf-
mated that the United States could not
countenance the reoccurrence of civil
war.

given authority and funds to pur-
chase such artistic products of Penn

gate assemble here for the generations
to be the finest gallery of art in Am

Governors address.

Supreme Court Holds
Operation of Jitneys

In decision yesterday upholding the
action of the Common Pleas Court of
Luzerne county, the Supreme Court in
Philadelphia held that any munich
pality has the right to regulate the
running of jitneys. but that such reg
ulation is not to be carried to the ex-
tent of prohibition and that personal
security can be filed.
The decision was reached after hear
ing the appeal of jitneymen from
Wilkes Barre, who took exceptions To
the $4,000 bond required by city ordi
nance there. The Supreme Court rules
that 1t is not necessary to require a
bonding company to act as bondsmen.
In this city by the initiative and ref
erendum movement jitneurs succeeded
IN having an ordinance passed which
amended the other jitney regulations
and abolished the clause requiring a
$1,000 bond. substituting in its stead
ming OF personal surety, at the rate of
50 per month. until a sum of 81. 900 has
oeen paid into the city treasury.
This is the first ruling of its kind to
be given by the Supreme Court in lit
ney law cases, and Jitneurs in Harris
burg predict that 1t will have n mark
ed enect on ordinances passed in the
future by City Commissioners in ali
parts of the state.
