pleasure, Mr.. Fitzpatrick said.

to be the outstanding candidate for
the Liberal nomination. Half a dozen
other Liberal leaders, however, are
being backed as dark horses, and
among them are Carlos Manuel de
Caspedes, secretary OF state; Gov. AL
berto Barreras of Havana Province,
and Gov. Roberto Mendez Penate OF
Pinar del Rio.
The fight in the Liberal party
seems to be delaying it's national
convention and the other parties are
waiting on it.
Conservatives Inactive.
Little activity has been shown pub
licly for any one in the Conserva-
tive party, whose outstanding leader
is former President Mario G. Men
ocal. the man who was largely in
strumental in making Zayas presi-
dent. Friends of Gen.. Menocal have
mentioned his name from time to
time, but thus far no real campaign
has been waged in. his behalf. San
tiago Verdeja, representative in. Con-
gress from Matanzas, has had some
backing for the Conservative nomi-
nation and has announced that he
was receptive, but Gen. Menocal has
not made his position plain.
The Popular party leaders have an
nounced that Zayas is the only. man
their party will consider as it's candi-
date, and are known to be working
for reconstruction of the "Liga Ma
cional" as the Conservative-Popula
combination of 1920 was called.

DELINQUENT CHILDREN
TAKEN BY GOVERNMENT
Sweden Enacts New Law Provid-
ing for Compulsory
Supervision.
By the Associs ted Press.

By the Associn ted Press
STOCKHOLM. July 5.-Compulsory
removal Of wayward or depraved
children from their homes into public
custody, and subsequent supervision
up to the age of eighteen is pro-
vided for in a new law for the care
OF children which has just been
passed by the Riksdag The law fur
ther provides for public care of chill
dren who are found to. be exposed to
undesirable influences and in danger
of becoming depraved.
Children removed from their homes
by government inspectors and ma
irons. In compliance with this law are
placed in government institu tions, or
in good private homes in the coun-
try, where they receive expert train
ing and can grow up in healtful sur
roundings. Social service of a SIM
liar sort has been carried on in the
cities Of Sweden, especially Stock
holm, for many years by municipal
and state boards, who place, the chill
dren in desirable homes far out in
the country, and pay an annual COM
pensation to these homes. In many
cases a strong bond Of affection
grows up between these waits of the
slums and their foster parents, which
eliminates in legal adoption.
Special Board Provided.
Under the new law every city and
parish will have a special board for
the care of children, including local
pastors and teachers as permanent
members, while inspectors will travel
all over the country for the purpose
