measures to help lift the game out OF
its financial depression.
Chief among the changes he has been
urging Is midSeaSon schedule OF

Predictions on Cuban

diplomats. They advise the American
correspondents, also the State Depart
ment
They functioned perfectly in chasing
cut Machado. Also in installing De
Cespedes. But since the Grau San
Martin regime came in suddenly on
them they have been about 100 per
cent wrong in their guesseS and pre-
dictions.
Further than that, there are indi-
cations that they are prejudiced
against the neiU Cuban government.
There is Evidence that this prejudice
has prevented a correct summation
of the situation dorn there. At least
that is the irOrd brought here by dis
interested parties 1UhO should knoD.
Our officials were scooped completely
on the Grau revolution. They had no
advance warning concerning it. When
it broke on them the State Department
would be kicked out within 48 hours
That was weeks ago and Grau is still

The private sources laugh at this
They say Grau has a good home of his
own. Also that he recently sued to

to pay rent on places he owns.

niStic doctrines.

A few days ago the same diplomatic
sources inspired yarn that an army
Of 800 counter er-revolutionarieS had been

was on its way to Havana. The days
of the Grau regime were supposed tO

was composed of 35 men who over

There is plenty of thievery. but most
of it is due to hunger. The food short

be attributed to human errors. Col

Grau Declared Level-Headed.

Their revolt is attributed to the mis-
takes OF De Cespedes rather than COM
munism or personal ambition. 1t is
said De Cespedes kept many in the
army who were known grafters under
Machado and this aroused the army
personnel. They had about half the
collegiates to help them.

At any rate it is worth knowing after
all you have been hearing from the

Our Treasury officials hint that the
coming debt talks with Britain may
take up the international monetary
situation where the London Conference
left off. Certainly the money question
will be the most important topic of the

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 5.-The act
Of the legislature which permits
grocers to attach salaries OF
those who owe them money for
foodstuffs is unconstitutional,
the Court of Appeals has ruled.
The unanimous decision was
made in the case of Baltimore
grocer who obtained an attach
nnent of 50 weekly on the salary
of a debtor for a grocery bill.
The high court ruled:
$50 far as we are able to
discover, there Is no apparent
reason why the statute should
confer privileges upon vendors
of articles mentioned therein
and not upon those extending
credit for other necessities Of
life, including fuel, clothing
and medical services. In our
Judgment, the classification
embraced in the act is arbi-
trary and unreasonable, and
violates the Fourteenth Amend

Carried Down Pass
Police carried him in their

where he was taken to hospital.
It is believed that either Lucas
or G.. H, Lawson, a prohibition
agent who had joined the capture
party, fired the shots which
proved fatal to Alger, for it is
alleged that they were the only
two of the group who opened fire.
Before his arrest, four years
