Tbe insurrection and tbe serious

ar* beli<-ved to warrant American pre-

ances. which probably will arise at
the Cuban ports through tbe strikers'
operations, are believed to be the
more imminent and dangerous ele-
ments in tbe situation. In addition
to the halt of trade, the throwing on
the streets of large numbers of riotous
laborers and the privations likely to
follow the halting of water tarnspor-
tation, the Cuban government is like-
ly to find itself handicapped financial-
ly through the total suspension of
cusoms receipts which form the
principal revenues of the Island.

"1 am sincerely gratified to le*rn
Of four government's energetic meas-
area to put down tba disturbance and
to know that you are confident of be-
ing successful. As was fully ex
plained to tba Cuban charge d'affaires,
tbis government's motive in sending
ahips to Key West, Just as sending the
Prairie to the Guantanamo naval ata-
tion. was merely to be able to act
promptly In case It should become
necessary to protect American life and
property by rendering moral support
or assistance to tbe Cuban govern-
ment. Aa was made quite clear at tbe
time, these ordinary measure* of pre-
caution were entirely disassociated
from any question of Intervention.
"WH. H. TAFT."
Havana—President Gomel has re-
ceived the message from President
Taft disclaiming the intent of tho
United States to intervene
Ha immediately summoned a meet-
ing of the cabinet to which he com-
municated the text of the menage, ex-
pressing his highest appreciation of
President Taft's attitude.

Bchmitz Goes Ftee
San Francisco.—Judge Wm. P. law-
ler dismissed the last twenty-seven
Indictments against ex-Mayor Eugene
E. Bchmitz in the trolley and gas
cases. Scbmltz la now entirely freed
from the graft prosecution. Judge

In which he deplored tbe failure to

self of the statutory right of demand-
ing a tflal within sixty days.

Federal Aid For Irrigation
old statute long since repealed by con-
gress at the instigation of the depart-
ment of interior, and specific provis-
ions are made that the major por-
tion of the reclamation fund would
profit by them so long as there were
feasible projects ithin its borders.
Many states which nave made contri-
butions have no need of irrigation.
But in the case of Oklahoma where
only about $67,000 has been spent in
the invistigation of irrigation pro-
jects even though tbe vast sum of
$6,000,000 has been turned into the
government's reclamation coffers,
vast good could be accomplished in
the ^velopment of lands which here-
tofore have been practically useless.

Coal Is Reviving.
Henryetta, Okla.—Coal operators In
1 this field are sanguine over the pros-
pects for a good coal trade the com-
ing season. Tbe present high price
of oil has caused the cancellation of
many large contracts especially with
j railroads who have been burning oil
and this will brang quite a large
tonnage to the Henryetta field. Local
I operators point to the scarcity of both
j gas and oil as an Indication that bus-
iness in this field will be good tbe
coming season. Last winter the twen-
| ty mines in this field loaded about 126
cars daily and this output will be
greatly increased this year.

Boy Makes Successful Flight

aviator, who left Chicago at 11:19
o'clock enroute for Milwaukee with a
consignment of silk for a local de-
partment store, landed here safely

greeted by a tremendous crowd.

was flying at an altitude of 6,000 feet
and gradually descended during tha
last five miles. He ran out of gaso-
line while over the city and volplaned
for a'long distance, makiug a perfect

Washington.—Although Assistant
Secretary Adams of the department
of interior has overridden the stub-
born resistance of Director Newell of
the reclamation service, and dis-
patched an expert to investigate the
feasibility of the irrigation projects
in Oklahoma, members of the Okla-
homa delegation are determined that
the state shall have its just dues and
are setting about to make govern-
ment assistance a fact.
It is not desired that the state be
placed in the position of constantly
begging alms of. the department of in-
terior along irrigation lines as it has
been forced to do in the past, even
though the state contributed about
$6,000,000 to the general reclama-
tion fund. Consequently members of
of the delegation are seeking some
legislation of congress which will as-
sure a square deal.
Senator Gore who long has been a
steadfast worker in beh&lf of the
state's interests in the irrigation mat-
ter, has just introduced two bills in
the senate, which if passed will not
only bring relief to Oklahoma but all
other states of the union where irriga-
tion projects are developed.

Senator Gore's first bill introduced
provides for the re-enac>ment of the

nosed bullets into the heart of a blind-
folded man as he sat in a chair at the
state prison. JuIIub Sirmay, a mur-
derer, was the target. He had select-
ed death by shooting In preference
to the gallows after his confession of
the murder of Thomas Cariska, a 14-
year-old boy whom he had shot while
committing a daylight burglary.
Walter Broomhall Had Been Dead
