Rowe, of Fort Worth, Texas, in an address before the an- nual convention of the New Mexico Cattle and Horse Growers associ- ation.
 with 80 per cent of the cattlemen broke" he said, and the railroad men still receiving high wages re- sulting from increase after increa SC, we can't be convinced that the rail- roads are suffering.
 This crisis which they fear, ac- cording to the news dispatches, has been brought on by themselves be- cause they have already raised their rates to an almost prohibitive de- gree.''
 G. H. Webster of Cimarron, N M., viewing the trying times through which the cattlemen have passed dur ing the last three or four years, in- cluding one terrific winter and two unprecedented drouths, which caused heavy losses among the herds, said
 But the COW man is no Quitter He is not made of that kind of stuff and he is going to stay in the busi- ness"

WASHINGTON, March 30. - Jose Miguel Gomez, defeated liberal party candidate for the Cuban presidency, was here today to appeal to the state department for establishment of a provisional government in the islands under an American chief executive if necessary to supervise new elections.
 He has prepared protest against the conduct of the recent Cuban elec- tions to be. filed with Secretary Hughes. if he will receive it.
 General Gomez explained to the Associated Press that the protest charges he has been kept out of the presidency by fraud and intimidation. He was con Enced, he declared of the sincerity of Major General Enoch H. Crowder, sent to Cuba by Presi- dent Wilson as an official adviser before the elections, but insisted that the American officer had failed to obtain for the liberals the freedom in the exercise of the franchise which the United States government had declared indispensable.
 The Cuban electoral college will soon register the vote preparatory to the change of administration in May Liberals refused to vote in the spe- cial elections in certain provinces. General Gomez said, as they knew their participation would be useless owing to "a military conspiracy to place Alfredo Zayas in the presi- dency."
 The protest of the liberals includes the charge that the elections were fraudulent, that they did not indi- | cate the will of the majority and that an unrestricted vote would result ir l the election of Gomez.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-To de- termine whether coal consumers are burning their reserve sup plies, the geological survey sent out today duestionnaire inquiring about stocks of coal April l. The purpose, it was explained by Director smith, IS to find out how much coal is being carried over from the past coal year, in order that consumers and pro- ducers may plan. for next year.
 Bituminous production the third week in March was down to 6,46S,00 tons, the lowest except during the 1919 coal strike. since the business depression of 1914, Director Smith said The weekly average for 1920 was 10.700,000 tons.
 The decrease was to be expected in part, Mir Smith said, because of de- cline in consumption and exports, but said there were many in the coal trade who contended consumers were burning up their reserve supplies.
 The geological survey hopes to complete the canvass within 30 days and to lay before the public specific informa ton as to whether the pres ent above ground reserves are below or above the safety line.
