THE RICHMOND PAIXADIUM AN'D SUX-TELEGRAM, TIIURSDA, MARCH "0, 1911.

ADVISES YANKEES TO EXPLOIT CUBA Big Future Seen in Island Republic's Commercial Possibilities.

Indianapolis. March 30. Advice to Indianapolis business men and manufacturers to send their traveling salesmen to Cuba instead of trying to "work" the already developed markets of the United States was given in an addreiis lefore Ci Commercial club, by J. Nelson I'olhuinus, Cuban consul at New Orlans. I'oUiuinus pointed out that Cuba, while exporting more than it imports. Is rapidly increasing trade In both ilnex, und that the imports into the Island grow each year. In home lines, he said, tlx- I'nited Slates gets the bulk of the; Cuban business, but In others this nation lass behind. He said there Is only one glas.4 factory on the inland, and that the glass manufacturing field In that country Is huha fine field for shoes, and for some other kinds of leather goods in Cuba, he said. In the matter of sending cotton goods to the island, he said the trade Is more profitable to the European countries than to the I'nited States. Island Is Productive. The great productiveness of the Island was dwelt on by tli consul, who ald that the price of iaud varies with the nlxe and location of the tract, come land running to several thousand of dollars an acre, but other land being on the market at us low as $." an acre. Iand on which tobacco is planted, he said, commonly produces about $400 an acre, and $Iom Is not unusual. Garden truck runs from $100 to $400 an acre, he said. Pineapple bring from $lf0 to $300 an acre. Cane nes the grower from $.".0 to $S0 an acre. This Is the principal export, $100,000,000 woith of sugar being exported last year. ; The taxing system of Cuba was pointed out by Polltamus as one of. its Jidvantuges. In that country, ho said, nonproductive land is not taxed. He cited a vacant lot In u city us an Illustration, saying that no taxes were levied against the property until a building or house was erected thereon. Taxes also are levied, not on the estimated value of the property ho aid. but on the Income the property produced. The taxes on city property throughout the Island average 9.63 per cent of the Income; on rural property the tax Is about tt.23 per cent of the Income. In speaking of what the Island desires for tho future, Polhamus said that Cuba Is ambitious to make progress In commercial and educational lines. "We desire no revolutions," he aid. "W'c do not want annexation. We are only asking that we Ihj left slone for awhile to work out our own destiny." He expressed confidence In tho ability of the country to grow and develop In a rapid manner, pointing to the progress It has made within the last twelve years. Great Growth is Shown "Dating from January 1, 1899, when the first American Intervention began." he said, "the number of persons able to read and write hus increased nearly 110 per cent. The rate of mortality has decreased 163 per cent. Australia being the only country In the world showing a better health record. The balance of trade baa arisen from a deficit of $:7.3O0.000 to a credit of about $.10.00o.ooo, jthowlng nn increase of 13S per cent. The mileage of railroads has Increased 120 er cent. The mileage of the splendid macadam roads Cuba is building has Increased from l.'iS to 928 miles during that period. January 1, 1SD9, Cuba begun business without a penny In Iter treasury, and in an apparently Impoverished condition. Hlnce that time she has spent about $315,000,000 in the rehabilitation of the country, and yet with ai; her bonded Indebtedness the per capita obligation Ift only $2S.20, which Is less than that of the I'nited States. In discussing trade relations between the I'nited States and Cuba. J'olhamns took up the matter of the Americans trying to develop the Cuban field as a market for American products, 'and also the matter of patronising Cuban Industries, urging a closer commercial relationship letween tho two countries. He dealt also with the sanitary conditions In the Island, saying that the country Is making wonderful strides in sanitation. I To declared there had been no yellow fever In the island within the last flvo years. Polhnnius came here from Cincinnati, where he addressed tho commercial organisation of that city. He Is making a tour of several cities in the central part of the I'nited States, having been commissioned by his govextension. He was the organizer and the first chief of the custom house service and the bureau of navigation In Cub. He was taken on a trip around Indianapolis by officers of the Commercial club und a reception in his honor at the club was attended by many business men. City Statistics Marriage Licenses. Uwln K.

APPRENTICESCHOOL Established at Altoona by the ' Penn. Fail-road.

Unique among railroad schools In America is one for apprentices which has been established at Altoona, Pa., by tho Pennsylvania railroad, co-operating with the engineering school of the Pennsylvania state college. This school 1.4 for the benefit of the regular apprentices in the railroad shops at Altoona. The object of the school is to Rive to apprentices a knowledge of the fundamentals of mechanics and drawing, thereby making them better artisans men more useful in their specific trades. The large attendance shows that the men are eager to make the most, of the opportunities open to them, and the company is more than repaid by the actual increase in the efficiency of its workmen, and by the assurance of unswerving loyalty from the men who have received all their training In its service. Departing from the general practice in Institutions of this nature, which is to teach only technical subjects, systematic work in English is carried on with special reference to writing business letters, filling out order blanks, time cards and other details. The work is arranged to cover three scholastic years of forty-two weeks. Eaeh apprentice receives four hours of instruction a week, or a total of 504 for the three years. The subjects given include essential elements of many of those in the mechanical engineering course of the best universities; they are mathematics, physics, mechanical drawing, mechanics, mechanism, strength of materials, machine design, experimental tests and shop management. A monthly report of grades is made out by the head instructor and submitted to the general office of the company and to the Pennsylvania state college. These monthly reports with the annual reports concerning each member of the classes, when taken in connection with the regular records of the shop foremen, form an Accurate basis on which to select and use the men to the best advantage. CREWS ARE TO MEET Great English Boat Rowed Saturday, Race (American News Service) London. March 30. Both the Oxford and Cambridge crews have practically finished their training for the great annual boat race, which is to be rowed Saturday over the usual course from Mortlake to Putney. Public Interest in the great, aquatic event is unusually keen this year. For weeks the papers have devoted columns to the daily work of the two eights, while this week the Thames has been lined with spectators to witness the practice spins and to form opinions ns to the condition of the contestants. It seems to be the general opinion that there will be a grand struggle. The Oxonians are slight favorites, which is due largely to the fact that the got into shape earlier in the season and have tteadily improved in form and steadiness. Like all crews stroked by Mr. Bourne the Oxonians have a steady swing and nice rhythm. In their yarly practice work the Cambridge men were unlucky in losing the services of their second coach. In the homo waters the crew showed a slower stroke than was desirable, but since they apieared at Putney there has been noticed a steady improvement. It la now conceded that every man in the crew is a good worker and that there is not a weak spot in the boat. The members of the crew are for the most part a very powerful and heavy set of men and many experts Incline to the opinion that Cambridge will quietly wear down the rival crew in the latter part of the race. This will be the sixty-eighth race between the two universities. Oxford has been the winner in thirty-six contests and Cambridge in thirty, while the one of 1S77 resulted in a dead heat. The best time over the four mile course, 1 min.. 17 se. was firt made by Oxfortl in lsft" and was equaled by Cambridge in 190. BARRED FLOWERS AND FRIENDS AT FUNERAL New York. March 3o. This was the letter left by David Nichols, who died at his home. 111 Wilson street. Williamsburg: "I want no flowers at my funeral. I want no obituary notice in the newsJ papers, nor do 1 want any one outside of my immediate family ami the few I have named here to know anything of my dtath. I have lived simply and apart from the world, never seeking publicity or noteriety, and it is my desire that my death should pass in the same manner, unnoticed as I have been." Mr. Nichols was eighty-one years old. While he lived at the Wilson street address for many years he scarcely ventured far from home after retiring from the wood engraving business. He became feeble a few months ago and realized his death was near. Before he grew t weak, he called for pen and ink and wrote out the directions regarding his funeral. Following his death. Mr. Nichols two sons and one daughter were called to the house and instructed according to the last wishes of their father. The invitations were sent to the few designated in the request and the details carried out as closely as was possible at the funeral. As early as 1796 the exportation of tobacco from Bah I a. Braril. to Portugal amounted to over eighteen million uonds a jcar.

They have come under the auspices of the tiaolie league, and wi( remain in this city several weeks, in which time they will plan to ;.'ive exhibitions of Irish late making crocheting and painting. 'Something has happened lo Muick-i en Ireland." said Marion O'Shea. the leader of the four girl, who has been orcanizinfitt schools of art and Industry in the Kmrrald isle.

We're proud to be coming over here to show what Irish women can do," said Miss Noone. "America means a lot to Ireland, for Americans have done a great deal in many little ways to make our country brighter and better. But we arn't going to stay here as so many Irish men and women have done. America is just wonderful but my piece of shamrock and what it stands for means much more to me." Miss O'Shea will not do any of the active work of exhibiting, but its "boss of the party" she described their plans. Miss McLaughlin brought with her a loom and specially dyed woolen stuffs and will make rugs. Miss Noone's task will be the painting of Irish designs in oils and in decorating leather, and Miss Quinn will make Limerick lace and design work, Irish point crochet and plain crochet. "Maybe your American women won't think so awfully much of our work," added Miss O'Shea, a little doubtfully, "but we think it is wonderful. Irish girls from childhood are taught to make beautiful things stub as these. Ireland today is getting her grip on things again and Irish art is going to make its influence really felt. Even the old folksongs and dances are being revived, proving that our people are learning again to feel proud. "What do you think of American songs and dances?" asked a reporter.

the reporter persisted. Not Suffragettes. "Goodnes. no." the girl laughed. "They're just nonsense ami blarney. 1 mean your old songs. Lots of Irish men and women who have never been away from Ireland have heard American travelers singing 'Old Black Joe.' 'Seeing Nelly Home." and many others. I suppose the Americans sing them because they are a little bit homesick for their own country when they see how beautiful Ireland is" The reporter let the compliment to America's beauty pass, and asked abruptly: ) "Do you believe in woman suf-! frage" "I guess not." answered Miss Quinn j decidedly. "Women ought to stay at j home all they can; they can do enough and more by just helping and loving the men. Of course, woman suffrage isn't talked about much at homrt. though, for suffragists are about as thick in Ireland as are snakes." Miss O Shea explained the girls not only will show visitors how the work is done, but will also do it under con-; ditions like those under which they work in Ireland. All will wear much the same costume as that of Miss Noone, which is patterned after the dress of the Irish women of the fift?cnth century. "And when the exhibit tour is over," Miss O'Shea added, "were going to pay attention to jusf one thing; that Is a song of our own. which I guess vou've beard "Come Back to Krin." THREATEN A STRIKE Unless Uncle Sam Listens to Their Demands. 1 American News Service) Detroit. Mich. March 30. I'nless the United States government pays more attention to the demands made; by railway mail clerks, a nation wide strike' is probable, according to 1. J. Schardr, vice president of the Rail-! way Mail Clerks' association. j "The clerks have just about reach- j ed the limit of their endurance," he ; said. "The postoffice department re-1 cently made some concessions, but it j is acting so slowly that the clerks mis-! !. i. ,..!t, i.. trust its intentions. A strike not only would paralyze the service, but it ...f.j t - It Is a probability unless the government acts quickly. Schardt had nothing to say on the announcement from the postoffice department to clerks in Minneapolis that their affiliation with the American Federation of Labor will be countenanced.

It is a large canvas and represents Dutch fishermen trying to get their catch oa board their boats in a heavy sea. In technique of drawing and depth of light and shade this picture is considered to be one of Turner's masterpieces. Ruskin comments on this picture as showing the "resistless power and restless roll of the sea." The picture was originally in the collection of the Karl of Kllsmore and later in the British museum. The original price of the painting was two hundred guineas, or about $1,000, but. since then it has changed hands several times and each time at an increase. WAS NOT CONFIRMED Starr Piano Co.

While never high in the race, the team has always made money both on the road and at St. Louis. As the team is -stronger this year it likely will be an even better financial investment. Several years ago when Mr. Weeghman left Richmond it was not wit'a bundles of the green or gold stuff sticking out of his pockets. However, in Chicago, seeing an opening for a restaurant, he acquired a lease to u down town room and opened an eating house. It was so successful that he continued to pursue this business, until now he is said to be the largest holder of restaurant properties in the Windy City. His pool and billiard establishment in Chicago is the meeting place of the leading sporting men. His last business venture has been in moving picture theaters. He now owns several, all netting handsome profits. Several relatives still reside in this city, including his parents and several sisters. He visits here frequently.

APOLOGIES MADE

but who was prevented in carrying out an attack on him, arose and apob ogized to the court for the part which. he took in disturbing its dignity, but did not make any reference to the apology previously made to him by the ex -congressman. Whether the omission was on purpose those in the court room were unable to determine. It is thought that with the apologies made today the incident is now closed. Special Judge Uupe accepted tho apology ip a very nice manner. Attorney Johnson in addressing Judge Rupe declared he wished publicly to beg the pardon of Mr. Craig, bead, who is the head of the Craighead Electrical and Plumbing company.
