on Assault Charge, Contradicts
Miss Brennan.

Patrick ]. Clifford, reputed wealthy
inventor of Scranton, Pa, who is be-
ing sued for 100000 damages by Miss
Bessie L. Brennan, twenty five year
old telephone operator, on a charge
of criminally assaulting her, will re-
sumo testimony in his own behalf

fore the adjournment of court yester-

The defendant asserted that it was
the young woman who selected the
lonely spot on the Marlboro road
where the car was parked. She asked
him to buy her a fur coat, Clifford
said, and he told her he was not in
position to purchase the desired
article and also mentioned the fact
that he was married.
Dr. w. Robert Perkins, called by
the defense, put Clifford through
severe test before the jurors The
physician declared he was convinced

Supreme Court Quoted.
"4. The Supreme Court of the
United States in a decision rendered
April 8. 1907, in the case of Percy VS.
Stranahan, held that the Isle of Pines
was an integral part of the territory
of Cuba, and quoted Secretary Roots
official declaration of November 27,
1905, who said: In my judgment the
United States has no substantial
claim to the Isle of Pines; the treaty
merely accords to Cuba what is hers
in accordance with international law
and justice.
A delegation of Americans who own
property on the Isle of Pines has
been in Washington campaigning for
defeat of the treaty ceding the island

CUBA'S TITLE TO ISLE
STRONGLY ASSERTED
Control of Pines Vested in Havana
Government Since Liscov-
cry in 1894.
SECRETARY ROOT IS QUOTED
Territory Declared Rightfully As
signed to Young Republic.

Cuba's title to the Isle of Pines has
been summarized in a pamphlet cir
culated in connection with the treaty
pending before the Senate. by which
all claims of the United States to
ownership of the Isle of Pines are
rGlinquisned in favor of Cuba. This
treaty has been favorably reported.
Cuba's claims to the Isle of Pines rest
on the following grounds:
Il. Since its discovery in 1894, it
mas always been under the govern
nent of Cuba for administrative. ju-
dicial political and other PURPOSES,
having been from the remoteSt times
included III the department or province
of Havana. and since 1880 it has been
a municipal district of Havana prov
ince. GeOgraphers and cartogra piers
have always considered the Isle of
Pines as included in the political term
Cuba.
Denies L. 5. Claims Isle.
.. The joint resolution of April
20, 1898, by which war was declared
against Spain, asserted that the
United States had no disposition or
intention to exercise sovereignty, ju-
risdiction or control over the island
of Cuba, of which the Isle of Pines
was then incontestably a part, so
that article of the treaty of peace
with Spain, by which the latter ceded
to the United States the Island of
Porto Rico and other islands except
Cuba, then nder>Spanish sovereignty
in the West Indies, could not be un-
derStood-to apply to the Isle of Pines,
but to such islands as Viequez, Guile
bra and-Nona, adjacent to Porto Rico.
"3. Itvfs true that the Platt amend
ment stipulated that the Isle of Pines
should be omitted from the proposed
cOnStititJ iOnal boundaries of Cuba the
title thereof to be left to future ad-
justmeut~by treaty, but President
ROosevelt,s administration at once
proceeded to make a treaty with
Cuba which was signed in Washing
ton on March .. 1904, by Secretary
Hay and the minister of Cuba, Senior
Quesada, relinquishinE in favor of the

REAR EXIT TESTS
FOR ONE-MAN CAR
Company May Spend $4,000 for
Alteration If Experiment
Proves Success.

s The Washington Railway and
Electric Company has obtained per-
mission from the Public Utilities
man cars with a self-operating rear
exit.
If the experiment proves a success
the company will spend $4,000 to in
stall the new door on forty of it's
large-type one-man cars, William F.
Ham, president, said today.
Mr.. Ham said the Company recog-
nize that there is well founded
objection to the fact that on the pres
ont one-man cars passengers who
go to the rear must work their way
through the crowd to get off through
the front door. This difficulty in
getting off, he continued causes
people TO crowd around the front
door, preventing others from getting
on while there is still room in the
rear.
The company believes that if it
We're possible to leave from the rear
passengers would not hesitate to
move to the back as they enter.
Closed During Car Motion.
1t will be impossible for the pro-
posed rear door to open while the
car is in motion, and it will also be
impossible for the car to start while
that door is open.
The rear exit will open as soon as
a passenger steps on the section of
flooring directly in front of it, A
person standing on this board while
the car is moving will not open it.
The moment the passengers feet are
off the step the door will close auto
matically.
The door is so arranged mechani-
cally that it cannot close while a
person is in the way. If it starts to
close it will swing back open the
instant it touches the passenger.
Officials were asked how they would
prevent an unscrupulous person from
slipping in the rear door They ex-
planned that person would have to
be rather deXtrous to accomplish
this feat, since the door swings shut
as soon as the disembarking passen-
ger is off the step.

.LAFOLLETTE RUNS
AS INDEPENDENT
Wisconsin Senator Endorsed
by Progressive Confer
ence for President.

Cleveland-Senator Robert M. La
Toilette of Wisconsin is the presiden-
tial candidate of the conference for
progressive political action.
The conference Endorsed his candi-
dacy as an independent progressive in
a resolution which stated its program
to back up Mr. La Follettes CAM
paign, and, after the election, to sum-
mon a national conference to create
a new third party, the dream of the
delegates who are gathered here.
The terms of the resolution appear
ed to satisfy all but small minority.
The resolution was carried with a
storm of ayes, drowning out meek
response of noes from few dissent
ers.
That the La Toilette program would
be adopted was assured when Morris
Hillquit, New York socialist leader,
spoke for it. His speech swept aside
the possibility of socialist opposition.
The platform contains IA planks,
about 1000 words, rewritten from Sem
ator La Follette's statement to the
conference, or from the Wisconsin
platform. The conference version does
not mention Muscle Shoals by name
in declaring for government owner
ship of water powers. 1t declares for
keting corporation to provide direct
route between rural producers and
urban consumers. 1t asks for common
international action to effect the eco
nomic recovery of the world from the
effects of the World war. In declar-
ing for referendums on war, it omits
Mr.. La Follette's clause, Except in
cases of actual invasion"
The committee supplemented the
platform with number of resolu-
tions, dealing with subjects not COW
cred by Mr.. La Follette's platform.
Among them are independence for the
Philippines; civil government for the
Virgin islands; sympathy with asp:ra-
tions Of the Irish people for indepen-
dence; aid by the United States to
Germany, and opposition to the policy
OF the United States in Haiti and the
central American republics.
Prediction that the socialistic ma
tional convention will indorse the can
didacy of Senator Robert La Toilette
for president was made by Congress
man Victor L. Berger of Milwaukee.
Senator La Follette's Endorsement
for the presidency by the conference
for progressive political action as an
independent will not affect the me-
chanics of Wisconsin politics. Gov.
James j. Blaine, the other state cam
didates, the IL La Toilette congress-
men and all legislative candidates will
be on the republican ticket as usual
The only possible result may be to
stiffen the fight of the conservatives
who will claim that these candidates
are not entitled to places as regulars.

Income of United States
Equal to Nations Debt

Washington, d. ca total net in
come Of 21,336.212,5OO, an amount
equivalent to the gross debt of the
nation, was reported subject to fed
eral taxes by citizens of the United
States for the calendar year 1922, it
was disclosed in statistics of incomes
for that year made public by the
treasury.
On this income the federal govern
ment received 1851 O57.3OS from the
6,7S7,481 persons who admitted tax
liability. This shows an increase over
1921 of SAL ,670,2 O2, or 1859 per cent
in tax paid, of 125,3O5 in the number
of returns filed and of $1,759,00000
in total income subject to taxation.
The average net income per return
for 1922 was $3,143.46 per taxpayer,
while each theoretically paid $12686
toward the upkeep of the government,
and their taxes were at the rate Of
4.04 per cent of their net incomes.
Based on the 1920 census, 6.2 per
cent of the total population paid taxes
and by the basis of calculation, each
American citizen, whether man, wom-
an or child, had a net income for 1922
Of $19472, just $40 higher than in
1921.
