that party of Cubans left Key

Statements of the kind are
preposterous in the extreme and
should be given no credence by
well thinking people. The organ

would never sanction any act of
this kind nor could others outside

the act.
"Why the rumor was started /
am at a loss to understand. When
it was first brought to my atten-
ton ] was told of the expedition
as being composed of a few men
and some ammunition and rifles.
Later on the number of men
increased as well as the number
of rifles. The latest canard was
that so men. 40 machine guns and
several thousand rounds of am
munition composed the expedition
and that they were now in Jail in
Cuba.
AS O. matter Of fact shanla

Claims OF Seven Nations AT Stake
In Soviet Sale OF Chinese Eastern
By JAMES A. EiILLS
Inv AsSocfnfed asreSSI

HARDIN, Manchuria, June 80.
Long-drawn out and complicated
negotiations are predicted at Chin
ese Eastern railway headquarters
here over the proposed sale of
Russian rights in the road to ia
pan.
u. S. interests Involved
While the principal points in
volve conflicting claims as between
the soviet union on one side and
ownership disputed between China
and Manchukuo on the other.
there are questions involving
French, American and English in
terests also.
The LOO mile line. running
across Manchuria from west to
east with a branch from this city
south to Changchun, was built by
the czarist Russian government in
1903 under an agreement with the
Chinese empire providing a sys-
tenn of dual management.
China Enters Protests
China has protested the pro-
posed sale at both Moscow and
Tokyo, arguing that the fact that
she is unable to function in Man
churia due to the force majeur
which set up the Japanese-protect-
ed state of Manchukuo, does not
affect her juridical rights in the
road.
Manchukuo maintains that its
de facto status rs successor of
China in Manchuria gives her the
right to acquire the Russian share.
Frances interest arises from
claims that French citizens sub,
scribed the greater part of the
capital of the Russo-Asiatic bank
which financed the railway in its
early stages.
English and American claims
involve equipment and improve
laFents. There were, for exam
pie, $4, 0O0,0UO worth Of improve
ments made when John w. Stew

Providence, R. l., May 8-UP) Rhode Island today became the third in the country--and the first in the east--to join the parade of states in the march toward repeal of the 18th amendment.

 Michigan and Wisconsin pre- viously had ratified the proposed Fist amendment and with the ad- dition of Rhode Island to the yea" list today only 33 more rati- fications were needed to ring down the curtain on national prohibition.

NEW LABOR BILL PREPARED FOR
 PRESENTATION
Believed to Have the Ap- proval of Organized Labor - Will Be Pre- Sented to the House

Washington, May S-CCP) )- Chairman Connery of the house labor committee to-day completed work on a drastically altered 90 hour week bill. It will be pre- sented for the committees ap-8 proval tomorrow.
 The new measure, believed to have the approval of organized labor. provides for appointment of board of three representing in- dustry. labor and the government. This group would have control of hours of work, and minimum wages. The bin would retain, with some liberalization, the 30-hour work week for all industries moving their products in interstate com merce. Minimum wages would be. set, however. only in those indus tries which are less than 50 per cent organized" by labor unions. In other industries, the unions themselves would bargain, as now. for wage scales.
 The measure is made less strin- gent than the old bill by removal of prison sentences and fines for disobedience

 From Illinois, former republican Governor Frank Lowden, wired:
 "I have just listened to your second radio speech to the Ameri- can people. It was perfect in every way"
 Other telegrams in the patches that arrived, signified the intention of manufacturing firms in Balti- more, Md, and Tacoma, Wash. to increase the wages of their em- ployes in line with MT. Roosevelt's S proposal that the pay scale be ad- justed to meet rising commodity prices.
 There were telegrams also from James NJ. Cox, former governor of Ohio, Josephus Daniels, ambassa- dor to Mexico, A. C. Harrison. president of the Fly Club at liar yard University and from the Cath olic Daughters of America in state convention at Spokane, Wash,
