CUBAN INTERVENTION

The situation in Cuba, which has been
bad for several years, grows much worse.
President Machado, elected constitutionally
at first, has kept himself in power by I'M
constitutional means. There is widespread
dissatisfaction. Lately there has been a
reign of terror
Congressman Hamilton Fish of New
York, wants American Intervention to re-
move Machado and substitute a provisional
president, to be followed by one regularly
elected by the people He thinks this ac-
ton would be justified by humanitarian
reasons and by the vast business interests
our people have in Cuba-also by the Plat
Amendment to the Cuban Constitution,
which gives our government right to in
tervene in a crisis Machado is kept in
power, he says, by the support of New
York bankers
Many Americans, in public and pri-
vate life, feel with Mr.. Fish that, having
freed the Cubans from Spanish tyranny,
and being close and deeply interested
neighbor, we would keep them free. We
may have to intervene. But it is delicate
situation. We are trying hard to win back
the half-alienated Latin-American ma
tons by convincing them that we have COM
plete respect for them and their institu-
tons, and no inclination to interfere 1t
would be easier to intervene in Cuba now
if we had not interviewed so often in other
countries for less cause.

ODD CAUSES OF DEATH

While death is not usually an anus
ing subject, the passing of certain citizens
Of Alabama has been attributed to some
what amusing circumstances, according to
a report Of the health department at
Montgomery.
AS certified by local authorities of
various counties, these were among the
causes Of death, according to the official
record:
Nervousness from gun shot.
Auto accident. complicated with
h0okworm.
Fractured skull; contribntory, mule.
Auto wreck started it, pneumonia
ended it.
Stab wound of chest, inflicted by
lady friend.
Hit over head with slop jar.
Leakage of head.
Frightened to death by deputy
sheriff
Rubbed to death by chiropractor.

KIDS ARE JUST KIDS

In this age of researches. surveys and
Investigations. 1t is sometimes encouraging
to note that in most cases things are just
about as sensible folks suspected before
we had so much research.
For example. after an elaborate study
of many school pupils by experts of Wit
tenberg College, it was discovered that
students from large families were as
bright as those from small families. Also
that there was fair degree of uniformity
among students who happened to be the
oldest. middle or youngest in their respec-
tive families
Again. it didn't seem to make much
difference in the intelligence of the off
spring whether either or both Of the
parents were college graduates or not.
All Of which indicaes that the aver
age pupil IS just about average. no matter
what happened to his folks beforehand.
Which. again and also. Is what most
of u knew oil the time,

DR.. Ballou has written:
1T appears that an increasing num-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FREDERICKSBURG Va, February
3.-Stafford County officers and local
police are making an intensive search
today for two white men who abducted
Caroline Musante, 13year-old daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Musante, and
left her tied in the woods, where she
was found at $50 o'clock last night
suffering from cold and hunger. The
girl had not been harmed in any way
and is not expected to suffer any III
effects from her experience.
The Musante home is miles from
Fredericksburg. close to the Washington
Highway. Caroline left home yester-
day morning to take the bus for Stat
ford High School. but upon reaching the
highway she heard mans voice call
ing from the bushes. Starting to run.
the girl was warned she would be shot.
She halted and was taken into the
woods by two men using the names Of
Bill" and Harry about Is and 80
yeats old. respectively. neither of whom
was known to Caroline.
The girl was taken deep into the
woods and tied to tree while her alb
ductors questioned her about sum Of
money recently received by H. P. Por-
ter, relative and neighbor of the Mu-
santes, as damages for the death of
his 6-year- -old daughter, who was killed
by an automobile several months ago.
A threatening note in this connection
had been left in the yard of the Porter
home Saturday night.
Bill and Harry" left the girl tied
to a tree about 10 o'clock. returning
about dusk for further questioning. but
failed to elicit any information and
again departed.
When Caroline failed to return home
from school in the afternoon her FAM
lily started search and her cries were
heard about $50 o'clock last night.
Cold, hungry and highly nervous, with
her wrists swollen from the tightly
knotted rope, Caroline related her story
to officers. who Immediately started
securing the countryside for the pair
of abductors. Up to noon today they
had found no trace Of the men.
