A long-distance telephone message

Boaz. who is managing the Pals on
the present road trip, says that men,

The trouble is, Mr.. BOaz said, that
the clubs the Pals have met have
raked the country for ball players

and engaged amateur umpires who
are naturally "homers." This, and
strange grounds, that were several

DEATH OF mrs.
FRANK BRUCE A
SHOCK TO CITY
Bride of Few Weeks Is
Dead at Home of Her
Parents

Mrs. Frank M. Bruce, nee Miss
Irene Yeverton, died this morning
shorty after 10 o'clock at the resi-
dence of her father, J. H. Yelverton
Jr., OIL Oak street, after an illness OF
several months. The entire conmu-
nifty has waited in fear for many days
for the dread announcement, but when
it came its anticipation did not allay
the grief of those who hope; to the
very last tina nature would win Few
'deahs in Palatka have brought such
IA keen sense of personal loss to so
many as did that of Mrs Bruce,
bride of some two months, and whose
romance reached such fateful end
ing.
Only a circle of immediate friends
knew that Miss Yelverton and Frank
NJ Bruce had been married, and were
only waiting the time when the nup-
tial event could be announced, attended
by her complete recovery from her
illness. Their engagement was an
nounceu in January, and it was gen.
orally understood that the wedding
would take place in June, but the SER
ious malady which caused death in
terrurted all plans, and it was decid-
ed by the happy young couple during
March to take the marriage vows
quietly, and announce them at a more
propitious moment.
Mrs. Bruce was born at Hastings,
Fla, twenty years ago, and her mo-
ther died when she was few years
old. When her father moved to Pa
latka she attended the public school
and graduated from the Putnam High
School. Later she attended the Flor
ida State College for Women, hut was
forced to give up her studies on ac-
count of illness early last fall.
In every community lives one or
more girls whose sunny dispositions,
unselfish natures and high characters
mark them as objects of affectionate
regard by young and old, and no girl

May Notify Board.
By Associated Pressl

Cincinnati, Ohio, June 16.-Rail
union chiefs were considering today
serving formal notice on the railroad
labor board that an overwhelming
majority of the 1,225,OOO shop craft
and maintenance of way employees
were voting in favor of strike on
July 1, and that the officers of the
union would abide by the decision of
the workers.
The notice, in effect, would formal
ly communicate to the board the pub
lie statement issued here last night
by the union heads which asserted
that the board in ordering wage re-
ductions, "had so reduced living
standards that the strike becomes an
act of self-preservation." The state
ment also blamed the attitude of
railroad managers as provocative of
a strike.
The union heads have been in con-
ference most of this week consider
ing questions related to the canvass
of the strike vote.
With the more than 100000 coal
miners already on strike, a walkout
by rail workers would affect a second
of the country's basic industries. No
claims have yet been made as to the
probable extent of transportation
tieup, but as soon as the American
Federation of Labor convention closes
the rail union executives will leave
for Chicago to begin on June 20 a
canvass of the strike vote, which is
expected to be completed by that
time.
The strike would not include mem
bers of the big four transportation
brotherhoods, whose members are
engaged directly in moving trains.
Before the close of the convention
the rail executives may ask the fed
eration's endorsement of strike BY
the shop craft and maintenance oil
wav workers, similar to the endorse
ment given by the federation yester-
dav 10 tn eminers' strike.

N vENT|ON IN
CUBA TO SAVE IT
FROM BANKRUPTCY
Finances of Island in a
State of Chaos at
Present
TREASURY HEAD QUITS
Says Nothing Can Save
Country From Going
Into Bankruptcy
(By Associated PressS

(By Associated Pressl
Washington, June Is United
States intervention in Cuba July 1
looms as probabilItM according
to political observers here.
Nothing else can save her from the
lslouga of financial chaos in which she
is engulfed, 1t is believed.
Conditions reached climax with
the recent resignation of Sebastian
Gelabert, secretary of the treasury,
with the declaration that Cuba can
not avoid bankruptcy.
Blocked by Congress.
Gen. Enoch H. Crowder, special
commissioner to the island republic
from this country, has long been wor-
king on the problem of Cuban finan-
ces; but his measures to save the
country have been blocked by dila-
tory and self-seeking Cuban congress
In the last election, held in 1920,
DR.. A. Zayas, conservative, was de-
clared elected. But the liberals pro-
tested the election had been won by
Wholesale fraud and intimidation, and
General Crowder was dispatched to
Cuba by President Wilson to study
conditions and to confer with the Gu
ban president.
He found that the Zayas admin
|istration inherited $46,000,000 debt
and that customs receipts and inter-
nal revenue had been reduced almost
to the vanishing point. The govern
ment's budget was $134,000,OO0. This
in country whose total population
scarcely exceeds that of philadelphia
and its immediate suburbs! The
amount of graft" and waste can be
judged from this.
Budget Reduced.
Under General Crowder's guidance,
the national budget was reduced to
$64,00G,000 (amid wailing of ousted
holders of sinecures) and remedial
legislation was proposed. But the
Cuban congress wasted the term in
passing measures designed to pro-
tect "the faithful" in various CRAFTS.
The general state of financial af-
fairs in Cuba can be CLEANED from
a few specific instances:
The government has failed prompt
ly to meet its bonded indebtedness
and has fallen months behind in pay
ing its lowest salaried employees, such
as street sweepers, policemen, etc.
Creditors, both foreign and domestic
cannot obtain payment of their debts.
Turned Out Into Streets.
Recently contractors refused to
furnish supplies for prisons and hos
pitfalls, and criminals and patients
were turned out into the streets to
beg or steal.
Banks have refused to honor gov
ernment checks, while pawn shops,
Usually backed by government Off
'ials. do thriving business in dis
counting the checks at 20, 80 and 40
yer cent. They know they will be
'ble to cash them eventually.
Such conditions, brought to a head
" the secretary of the treasury's
eslgnation, make it almost impossi-
lie for this country to adhere to its
hands off" policy much longer, it is
elieved.
