SMOOTHING OUT
AFFAIRS In CUBA
General Crowder Dealing
With Leaders of Oppos-
ing Factions.

HsvaEa-It is stated an agreement
Of the opposing factions on measures
to expedite the determination of the
Cuban elections, so as to prevent
lapse of the regular government, and
thereby obviate the necessity of Amer
lean intervention, has been announo-
ed by Major General Enoch Crowder,
President Wilson's special envoy.
The announcement followed a con-
ference at the national palace, partici-
pated in by General Crowder, Presi.
dent Menocal, General Jose Miguel
Gomez. the liberal candidate and DR..
Alfredo Zayas, the conservative candi-
date for president
The informal statement Of General
Crowder expressed confidence that
the courts now will proceed to dispose
of the appeals from the election boards
with courage and fairness, 80 that 1t
will be possible to determine the re-
suits OF the election and install the
successful candidates when the pres
ent congress expires in April and the
presidential term terminates May 20.
Having taken this distinct step for
ward, the Crowder statement can
Guided, we must now await the re-
suits before the six audiences and the
supreme courts. Meanwhile | shall
give my attention to other matters
connected with my mission to Cuba.
This means that while affording to
opposing parties an opportunity to
demonstrate their good faith in ex-
peditfng the election settlement, Cen
eral Crowder will remain here, occu-
plying himself with his efforts to al
leviate the financial and economic
troubles which have Frustrated Cuba.
General Crowder believes his pro-
gram will clean up the appeals within
two or three weeks and then It is prob
able that in certain districts in which
the election results is vitiated 1t will
be necessary to hold new elections.
Gomez insists such special elections
be held under American supervision
and this may be done IL General
Crowder decided that such a step, by
insuring a fair determination of the
result, might avert a revolution and

DELAY IN GETTING
GRAVEL IS BLAMED
TIME IS ALL WE NEED SAYS 5UIE
IN ROAD QUIZ AT NArCHl.
TOCHES.
CITIZENS FEEL IMPOSED ON
One Of the Objections Is the Excessive
Cost of Concrete Bridge Built On
This Highway but Not Included in
Contract Price.

Natchitoches. La.-At a joint meet
1ng OF committees from the grand
Jury, police Jury and Chamber of
Commerce here TO further pursue an
Investigation OF the conduct OF the
Jefferson Highway contract in this
parish. State Highway Engineer
Gaines and the contractor. W. 5. Bon
ner, were present and the whole
matter was threshed out, but little
Roadway was made as to finding out
anything about the past business.
The investigation was brought
about by the Chamber of Commerce
and taken up by the grand jury last
month. Impotence on the part OF the
taxpayers over the delay and unsatis-
factory manner in which the work has
proceeded was manifested Many
rumors and undersurface charges OF
graft and improper expenditures OF
public money were afioat. but il now
seems that most of the items were
outside OF the Jefferson Highway
project and only incidental to III
One OF these Items was the appar-
emily excessive cost of concrete
bridge built on this highway by the
parish but not included in the con- !
tract price. Engineer Buie assured /
the Joint committee and interested |
citizens that the parishes interested |
were being looked after, that the /
whole trouble was caused by the in |
ability to procure the gravel for the !
Job and this difficulty was caused by |
the shortage OF cars, and the absence |
of unloading facilities. He argued for |
patience and suggested that time |
was all that we needed now"
, Lately gravel has begun to come in
and the citizens feel in more hope
full mood over the matter. Contractor
Bonner said that he had done the best
ne could, that the duty of furnishing
the gravel was on the police jury. and
while he knew the trouble was beyond
its control he should not be blamed.
Some OF the citizens and taxpayers
generally feel that they were imposed
on by having such provision inserted
in the contract and say that the stated
purposes was to give the contractor
the benefit of the low freight rate ac-
corded pa}ishes and that strict utter
probation has unduly benefited the
contractor and given a loophole for
delay.
II is believed that the work will
progress from now on. Provisions for
switching facilities on the Normal
School switch was made.
