HAS HARDSHIPS
NEW YORK. Sept. 11. — First
to win the Blue Eagle, the textile
industry is nowr facing the test
of the consuming public’s ability
to pay higher prices in the cur
rent primary markets.
Textile activities surged upward
phenomenally from March through
to July. This movement was car
ried forward by the powerful driv
ing force of the threat of advanc
ing quotations.
In the past six weeks, however,
there has been a moderate reces
sion in the silk and cotton goods
industries and both have suffered
a prominent setback. The produc
tion of rayoj was continuing
around capacity.

ANOTHER MAN
AT HELM CUBA’S
SHIP OF STATE
I HAVANA, Cuba, Sept. 11. —Cuba
j had its third President within a
period of less than a month as
Senor San Martin, President of
the University of Cuba, took over
the reins of the goverment.
j In taking over control San Mar
j tin pledged himself to fulfill en
tirely the revolutionary program
; and to secure for Cuba recogni
| tion from the rest of the world,
j He said it was a right of the Cu
• ban people to determine their own
| destiny and to handle their af
I fairs in such a manner that in
tervention by the United States
would be unneccessary and the
j withdrawal of American battleships
from Cuban waters would be ne
cessary.
In taking the oath of office in
the Cuban Supreme Court San
■ Martin did not pledge to support
the constitution. He pledged to
; support the Cuban laws. The
crowd, witnessing the inauguration,
j were swept with a great wave of
; nationalism and showed wild pa -
i triotism as they cheered their lea
i der.
j Three hundred former army of
I ficers have demanded that San
Martin step aside in favor of form
| er President Carlos de Cespedes,
| who is now in Santiago.
Today there were disquieting re
ports that heavily armed bands
roamed over the countryside ready
| for a revolution in behalf of form
|er President Mario G. Menocal.
That unrest led Cuban merchants
to close their stores and all activ
ity hinges upon the formation of
a stable government with suffici
ent power to put confidence back
into the people and curb disturbing
elements.
' Tlle army officers have refused
| to return to their duties although
| in Havana, the new government of
,San Martin was generally well re
ceived.
Dispassioate unrest continued in
j the interior near Santiago. One
man was killed in a brush between
strikers and miners.
Two men, one an army sergent
were arrested near MariSnao for
conspiracy.
It will be recalled that the over
throwing of de Cespedes was ac- !
complished through support of the
enlisted men of the army and a I
strong student left wing group. San j
Martin, is credited with having I
engineered the coup d’etat.
A group of Communists put on a
demonstration in Cuba yesterday
in which they addressed the United >
States with their banners and
shouts of “down with Yankee Im
perialism.”

CARSON HOME
AND P.O. HOPE
BURNED GROUND
A disastrous fire last Friday
at 12:05 a.m. proved the sports
manship of E. E. Carson, whose
entire house, home and postoffice
i accomodations, was destroyed at
Hope by ravaging flames.
The fire was first noticed by a
resident and his guest, who were
i across the street from the Car
I son building. They both were brot
! to their window by the report of
; two gun shots fired by Mr. Car
son. He was unable to fire the
usual three shot for a fire sig
nal. While one of the residents
summoned assistance the other
went to the burning building and
helped remove personal belongings
and postal equipment, all of which
was saved. All salvage work pos
sible was done before the Hope
residents turned out en masse to
fight the flames.
The only personal loss was a
clock and almost all of Mr. Car
son’s food supplies; the building
was totally destroyed, as well as
a tree in the nearby garden.
The fire began in the attic from
a spark escaping from a stove
pipe temporarily installed in a
brick 'idminey to draw off creo
sote while drying out the cement
foundation of the bricks.
Mr. Carson, with exceedingly
good cheer and joviality under the
circumstances, moved his belong
ings into his chicken coops and
slept at a neighbor’s home the
rest of the night while the locked
postal safe containing gold re
posed in the street!
Mi*. Carson will rebuild at once
it is said.
WOMEN EXPERTS
LEAD THE FIGHT
BEAT MALADY
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 11. — Another
I woman scientist arrived here to
j da> to aid in the battle against
I the sleeping sickness which has
1 taken a toll of 117 victims. She is
| Dr Josephine Neal, of New York
j City Health Department, and is a
; widely kridwn authority on the
j encephalitis or inflammation o f
i the brain.
A woman made the first im
j P°rtant discovery in the St. Louis
epidemic. She was Dr. Margaret
j Smith and she reported finding
inclusion bodies in the kidneys of
| victims which apparently con
j tained the virus responsible for the
I infection.
Other medical experts were'ex
pected to begin tests for a curative
seifum as their experiments with
monkeys are progressing satsifac
torily. Monkeys, innoculated with
the sleeping sickness germ, show
ed unmistakable symptons of the
| the disease. Attempts will be made
[ to secure a curative serum through
jthe monkey experiments but it is
said that it may be weeks before
any tangible results can be ob
tained.
