In his first authorized statement
Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez. former
President of Cuba. said yesterday
that he is in Washington to further
the appeal of the Liberal party to
the State Department to determine
who is rightfully elected President
of the island republic.
The general intimates that il the

himself with asserting that il

"Dr. Angulo will present all this

LONDON, April 3.-The hurried
return from Amsterdam of J. H.
Thomas. labor leader in Parliament,
has given rise to hopes that his in
fuence may effect a solution of the
coal strike problem or at least defer
the railway men and transport
workers from declaring sympa-
thetic strikes pending further con-
ferences.
Already it is declared probable
that another conference will be
held between the government and
the mine owners before the triple
labor allianc will make its final de-
cision next Wednesday.
Executives Meet.
Today throughout Great Britain
union executives affiliated with the
Transport Workers Federation met
to consider what attitude to adopt
at next Tuesdays conference OF
national delegates.
While many leaders admittedly
are anxious to find a way to break
the deadlock, they undoubtedly are
nervous at the prospect of a strong
ly co-ordinated rank and file move
ment to support the general resist
ance to any scheme of wage reduc-
ton.
That the workers seem in favor
of a general strike was made evil
dent today by the sentiments OF
meetings held throughout the coun-
try.

A strong note was struck when
Henry Twist. the Lancashire miners
agent, speaking today at=-Wigan

and health are concerned. we are

A huge meeting of transport
workers was held today in White
cnapel ana a RESOLUTION undnlInOuS-
ly was passed to support the min
ers and resist wage reductions.

strong speech in behalf of support

This was interpreted by many tc
mean that unanimous support by the

HARDING COUSIN
FIRED ASLEADER
DURING CAMPAIGN
Secret Service Men Shed
More Light on Jailed
Relative"

CHICAGO. April 3.-while Ever
ett A. Harding. self-styled cousin
of our President and his confiden-
tial secretary" spent Saturday in
the county Jail at Woodstock. Ill,
where he is held on charges of i'm
personating a government oficial,
secret service oficials were digging
into his activities.
Months before the Republican
convention in Chicago. young Hard
ing, the agents discovered, was TAX
ing an active part in cousin"
Harding's candidacy. representing
himself on various occasions as Sem
ator Harding's campaign manager.
and that even at that early date
he was making promises Of patron
age.
Active In Indiana.
During the Presidential primary
campaign in Indiana, Everett first
attached himself to Cousin War
active in support of both Gen. Wood
and Gov. Lowden, but when Senator
Harding filed as a candidate in the
Hoosier State. Cousin Everett" i'm
mediately transferred his allegiance
and went to Indianapolis. where he
represented himself as the Senator's
campaign manager and held con-
ferences. His stay in Indianapolis
was brief, however, as word of his
activities reached Harry Daugherty.
Senator Harding's national campaign
manager, and Mr.. Daugherty has
tened to the Indiana capital. The
nature Of his interview with "Cou-
sin" Everett" has not been made
public. but Immediately after this
meeting Everett came back to Chi
cago and subsided until the Harding
campaign quarters were opened
here.
Served as "Advisor.'
This time he attached himself to
headquarters in an advisory ca
pacity," as he expressed 1t to his
friends. He made many suggestions
and conferred with anyone who
would listen to him. much to the
annoyance of the real officials, who
made several half-hearted attempts
to get rid of him. While doubtful
of Everett's relationship to cousin
Warren" they were not sure and
did not care to chance embarrass-
ing their candidate.
Harry Rudnick, a volunteer work.
er in the Harding camps, wrote a
letter Offering his services and THE
letter fell into the hands of Cousin
Everett" who wrote Rudnick. urg-
ing him to come to headquarters
at once and go to work. assuring
him he would he paid literally.
Finally Ii sFired.,
Rudnick thought this rather Pc
culiar. inasmuch as he had offered
his services free. when he went
to headquarters and met the real
officials. they decided 1t was time
to suppress cousin Everett" before
ne did something that would re-
fleet seriously upon Senator Hard
ing. The matter was taken up with
Harry Daugherty. and when Cousin
Everett" appeared the next day, he
was escorted out of the hotel and
directed to remain away.

Future of Cuba Hangs
In Balance Over Shots

HAVANA. April 3.-Cuba's polit-
ical future hung in the balance to-
day. Speculation in official and
party circles centered around the
effect of last nights assassination
on tomorrow's elections.
Leaders confessed they are puz-
zled. But at any rate, and what
ever the outcome. there is none in
the capital today who will deny
there has not been as much tense
ness in the air in many years of
Cuba's stormy political life as was

kemains today. when Ernesto COL
lado, candidate for governor in
Santa Cruz province in the last
ELECTION, and a leading Liberal. shot

Liga national party.
shot on street.
The shooting occurred shortly be-
fore dinner last night at a crowded
corner on the Prado, Havana's fash
ionable boulevard. The city was
panic-stricken momentarily. and as
the sound of the shots rang out
across the broad thoroughfare in
quick succession the populace was
instantly reminded OF diverse
threats of assassination that have
passed back and forth between op-
posing party leaders since the dead
body of President-elect Zayas' Sec
retary was found in a lonely spot
here several days ago.
Quininos, the former editor of El
Dia. and a party OF political asso-
ciates rode in an automobile into the
Prado about . p. m. At corner
near Central Plaza they encountered
Collado and several Of his sup.
porters.

and Chicago Tribune.)
Nv CHARLES DALEY.

MANILA. April 8. The uneN-
pected return here on March Is of
Vice Governor Yearter as acting
governor Of the Philippine Islands
is being interpreted as meaning
that immediate independence will
not be granted the islands. Now that
the prize is in reach the Filipino
fears to accept il for the same rea-
son that the United States is so
willing TO turn it over-because the
archipelago is too costly to protect
in these times Of worldly uncer-
tainty.
Governor General Harrison re-
signed because with the advent of
the Republicans to power his re-
moval was but a matter of time.
His departure before the arrival Of
his successor would have left the
control Of the islands in the hands
Of the Filipinos and so Mr.. Yearter
was induced TO remain on the job
until the new administration in
Washington had determined its
policy.
Await Woods Inquiry.
Gen. Leonard Woods visit to the
islands is awaited with much inter
est as it is on his report that Presi-
dent Harding will be guided.
More and more. as independence
ncars Filipinos seem to dread the
prospect of it. Manuel Quezon. who
is looked upon as the first President
of the republic, If such is to be the
outcome of the present agitation.
declines to commit himself to any
public view at this time. because of
his peculiar position as the leader
of the Independincias and the pros
pect that he will be called upon to
lead them as the first President.
Mr.. Quezon's views underwent a
change last summer and he was the
| first to drop the demand for imme
diate independence. He then said. in
| his interview. which attracted wide
SpEtdo COInIneht IN lnf OnlleQ
States. that he would accept a pro-
tectoI ate such as that enjoyed by
Cuba under the Platt amendment
Mr.. Quezon still holds this view.
Favors Protection.
This would mean" he said, that
we would be willing for America TO
interfere in our affairs IN the event
of serious internal troubles. The
islands could not negotiate a treaty
with foreign powers impairing the
independence Of the islands. which
would mean that America would ex-
ercise a friendly supervision over
all our foreign affairs"
But the Filipino, now that he can
have independence for the asking,
realizes that Under the awards OF
the peace treaty and the league of
nations, the islands, now rendered
almost indefensible by the United
States, are absolutely indefensibls
by the Filipinos, and would soon be-
come the prey Of Japan.
So the leaders are trembling In
4their boots. They dare not say tina,
they do not wish indepe ndence now.
and they dare not say they do. for
fear II will be handed to them over
night.
