GEORGE v. HOWE
RETURNS FROM.
TRIP TO CUBA
LOCAL ZIMMERMAN TELLS THE
JOURNAL THAT GREAT ERA OF
PROSPERITY PERvADES CUBA.

George w. Howe, president of the
Home Export & Lumber Company,
who has recently returned from
Havana, reports that the West Indies
as a whole are enjoying an era OF
prosperity unprecedented in the history
of those islands. Business conditions
there are particularly good and there
are excellent markets for coal and
lumber. Cuban dealers are beginning
to realize that the high prices charged
by American exporters for lumber are
not fictitious, and are willing to pay
the price asked for this commodity.
The conditions@ of the crops gen.
orally throughout the island are par
ticularly good said Mr.. Howe. land
pected.'
When asked what provision Havana
was making to take care of the great
influx of tourists who viii visit Cuba
this winter. Mr.. Howe said: Hotel
accommodations are entirely made
quate to take care of the great num-
Der of tourists expected. Passports
have been applied for by fifty thous-
and Americans, so for the present &C.
commodations are sufficient to take
care OF only a small percentage or this
number. 1t is understood that several
hotels will be built at once and one
or two of the larger hostelries which
We're used by the Cuban government
during the war will be turned back
to their owners and opened to guests
once more
In commenting upon the com Imperative
cost of living in Havana, and here
Mr.. Howe stated that he could see
very little difference. Restaurants and
hotels charge about the same and
clothing was, if anything, a little
higher there than in this country.
Discussing the prospects for coal ex-
portations to the West Indies, he said
that the markets were especially good
and that huge quantities of coal were
coming to Cuba, much of it from the
Alabama coal district, and being ship
ped through Pensacola.

reaches a number of destinations never
thought of seven years ago. 1t re-
quires public accountant Wen pro-
vided with illuminating charts to trace
the moneys to their final resting place.
To begin with, the National Commits
sion as usual takes its-10 percent. first
from the receipts of each and every
game. During the first five games
the players of the two teams take. 60
percent and the club owners the 40
percent of the remaining 90 percent.
Much TO their regret, however. they
are not permitted to keep any such
lavish emolument. OF the players
pool 25 percent. is Immediately set
aside for the second and third teams
of the two competing leagues; so per-
cent going to the runners-up to the
pennant and 40 per cent to the third
place combinations. The remaining Is
per cent is divided among the actual
playing teams, the world series win
ners receiving so per cent and the
losers 40 per cent. The owners of the
two clubs fare even worse. as they
must give over so per cent of their
winnings to their respective leagues
to be divided among the other clubs
at later date. After five games the
players cease TO participate in the
proceeds and the club owners receive
90 per cent of the gate, which they
continue to divide on a fifty-fifty
basis with the other clubs.
1t will be seen, therefore, that while
there is possibility OF greater at.
tendance and larger gate receipts than
ever before. neither the competing
players nor the, club owners will profit
to the extent of earlier participants
in world series although the leagues
and their players. as whole. will re-
ceive more than at any period in the
past.

after SOURCE OF

has been invading the city has been
tentatively located, said DR.. ]. H. KIN
sey, city health officer, Monday morn
ing, and every effort will be made TO
stop the spread of the epidemic within
the next few days.
DR.. Kinsey would not say what he

was a common origin for most OF the
cases.
The influenza situation was about
the same, said DR.. kinsey, and he
anticipated no increase in the number
of cases of either disease, provided
people take proper care of themselves.

SENATE TAKES

Mr.. Gronna denied that the govern
ment's wheat price guarantee causes
undue prices for bread. He was sup
ported by Senators Kellogg and Mel
son, Republicans Of Minnesota, who
said wheat was being sold far above
the government guarantee at the
principal terminals.
Deploring the general tendency to
run to congress to pass lays for the
regulation Of everything, Senator
Smith, Democrat, South Carolina, de
clared local authorities have ample
power to combat the high cost of liv
ing 'hysteria."
Senator Smith said if there was
profiteering the Sherman act afforded
an opportunity to break it up. He
added that extravaganza by most per
sons was one cause of present con
ditions.

Effects Of entrance into the arid

while Ohio was dry.
In June and July, 1917, when the

In June and July, 1918, when Indi
ana was dry and Ohio was wet there
were 20 persons arrested for drunk

when both states were dry there were
u persons arrested for drunkenness
