THE MORNIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1905. ELECTIONS fi M Gomez Appeals to the United States to Interfere. REIGN OF TERROR IN CUBA Liberal Leaders Say Ballot-Boxes Were Stuffed, and All Who In sisted Moderates "Were Ar . rested or Shot. NEW YORK, Oct. 6. General Jose Miguel Gomez., the candidate of the lib eral party for the Presidency of Cuba, who is In New York, said today that it Is the duty of the United States Govern ment, under the Piatt amendment, to in terfere In Cuba, and to see to It that the Island has genuine and honest elections. He described, what ho said was the des potism of President Palma's government, and the combined and open use of fraud and force In Cuban elections as follows: "The days of September 21, 22 and 23 were days of terror In all Cuba. The chief leaders of our party were arrested, re spectable men, men of conservative ideas, merchants and distinguished professional 'men. The assassination of "Villuendas took place. He was a young man of great vigor, and the leader of the Liberal party in the House of Representatives. "A stupid story of dynamite was invent ed, being, made up only to make an im pression on the United States, as it was only received with laughter in Cuba. "On September 22, the day preceding the election of members of the election, boards, the Moderates arrested the leader of our party organization, and on the 23d the ballot-boxes were taken to the polling-places, already stuffed with votes, and defended by men of criminal' ante cedents, armed with rifles, and also by the rural guards and the municipal police. Wherever the members of our party re sisted, they were fired upon. In the Prov ince of Santa Clara, there were many killed and wounded. "After having prevented the Liberals from -voting on the 23d, the election lead ers of the Moderate party filled -up the ballot-boxes according to their desire. On September 23, the drawing up of the list of voters was begun. It was padded to an extraordinary degree, there being In scribed as voters names of persons who had never existed or, had died. In many cases the number of names falsely insert td were more than double the number of genuine voters." OPPOSES THE BRITISH TREATY Havana Merchants Say It Is Against Interests of Cuba. HAVANA. Oct. 6. Following the publi cation this evening of the text of the ten-year treaty of commerce and naviga tion between Cuba and Great Britain, the ratification of which is now pending in the Semite, the. Havana Chamber of Com merce gave out for publication tomorrow the text of the report made by it to the foreign relations committee, In response to a request for advice as to whether the treaty ought to be ratified, and which, as stated by the Associated Press, September 10, declared ' against ratification. The report of tKe Chamber of Com merce says, that, as Cuba has few mer chant "ships and no warships, the -reciprocal privileges granted by Great .Britain would wholly be in fax'or of British' ves sels In, Cuban waters, and would probably have the effect of seriously shortening the revenues of Cuba, since Cuba had not enough revenue service ships to watch her coasts. At the same time Cuba was not In a position to enlarge her marine service, while -the treaty would be ef fective in extending encouragement to the other contracting party to enlarge Its ma rine service. Under such an arrangement the Cuban marine service would probably entirely disappear. The report goes on to say that the lib erty of "pertrecharz" (a Spanish term meaning the- resupplying of vessels with munitions of war), it granted by the treaty to British warships, would be like ly to Involve Cuba, in most unwelcome complications, especially' since there was no modifying clause for the observance of the law of international neutrality in the event of war. Cuba would not be ben efited by such a convention with a free trade nation, as treaties of the kind were beneficial only when entered Into with countries offering reciprocal tariff con cessions. This, the report says. Is espe cially true at this moment, when a treaty of navlgatIonwith the United States has been projected, the intention of which is the concession of mutual tariff reductions on products carried in American and Cu ban ships. The Chamber, .which is composed of leading Spanish and Cuban merchants, holds that Cuba should look to the United States for the securing of mutual tariff favors, Instead of making concessions wholly favorable to the other contracting power. TAKES CARE OF RELATIVES (Continued From Page 1.) should be paid in accordance with the importance of the corporation' "Was It any benefit to the policy-holders to increase the president's salary?" "I think the responsibility increases as the corporation's business Increases, and the trustees considered that when they raised the salaries.' George T. Taylor, superintendent of do mestic agencies, was called to verify the provisions of the contracts with Chamber lain & Gillett, the Texas agents. It was brought out that this firm had an ordi nary agent's contract, with an overriding commission of 5 per cent and allowances for expenses. The 5 per cent is on the first year's premiums. The total amount allowed this firm in 190 was $15,810- The ret profits of this firm by a trial balance four years ago was J30.0QP. and the ap proximate net profits for last year, wit ness thought, would be $40,000. Answer ing Mr. Rogers, the witness said it had not been the policy of the company to ascertain at stated periods what the agents were making. "Only once. I think, within six years has any Investigation of this nature been made." The witness said he could see no. justi fication for the enormous profits made by-. C. H. Raymond & Co. Cannot Prevent Rebates. Thomas C. Ball, a confidential clerk of C. H. Ttaymond & Co.. was sworn. He told of a system of advancing moneys to agents, and said it was done for the Mutual Company. He gave the firm money for that purpose. Mr. fcBall said there was practically nothing done now to stop rebating by agents. Efforts have re peatedly been made to stop It, but all methods were found to be futile. The committee adjourned until Tuesday of next weeiw, the sessions to be held Tuesday, "Wednesday and Thursday,' In stead of "Wednesday, Thursday and Fri day, as heretofore This change was made because Friay is registration day in this state, and members of the. commit tee desired to bo present In their various districts. When the Investigation opened today, it was expected that the president of tho Mutual Life would be called to the stand before the day was over- By a misunder standing, however. President McCurdy had left the office of the Mutual Life be fore he was called for. and it is expected he will be the first witness on Tuesday. LAWSOX'S ORIGINAL SPHEME Proposes Committee of Pollcy-Holcl- ers Scire Insurance Compniilcs. BOSTON. Oct. 6. (Special.) Thomas W. - Lawson has a plan by which the management of the New York 'Life. Equi table and Mutual are to be taken posses sion of by the policy-holders. He pro poses that a committee of strong, repre sentative men from all sections be organ ized, and that they take possession of all of the Insurance companies Involved In scandals. He does not propose this commission be confined to men actually policy-holders In these companies. Ho has sent out Invitations to Governors LaFollotte of Wisconsin. Folk of Missouri. Dlneen of Illinois. Cummins of Iowa. Hanly of Indiana, and others who, "by their administration of public affairs, have won and deserved the confidence of the people. and asked them to Join, the movement and be members- of the proposed commit tee. The committe Is to name directors for the New York Life and Mutual. The only obligation on the committee is to appoint as such directors men who will be pledged In advance to select no man as director who will not pledge himself to do everything to secure theke companies restitution of every cent wrpngfully di verted by tho president or management. They must also give a pledge that they will cause those who have misappro priated the funds of these companies to be prosecuted criminally. It Is the in tention to move quickly, as Lawson is convinced the managers or these com panies will make some counter move to prevent the policy-holders from getting possession. How Lawson intends to pro ceed to got possession of the assets and management of the companies, he does not state. NEVADA GRANTS A RESPITE Will Await End of Investigation of New York Life. CARSON, Nev.. Oct 6. The State Board of Revenue met today at the capitol to take action on the request of Hawes & Harris, agents of the New York Life In surance Company, to postpone final action relative to revoking the license of the company In Nevada. The request was that the state postpone final action upon the case until the company had a chance to make its defense before the investi gating committee In New York. They did not ask any revocation of tho action of the Comptroller, but suspension of final action. Governor Sparks, in addressing the rep resentatives of the company, stated that he fully indorsed the act of the Commis sioner of Insurance. Attorney-General Sweeney maintained that a .clear case of the misuse of funds had heen proven by the company's- own admission when it contributed money to political committees. He was willing to await the action of the investigating com mittees. Camptroller Davis said he was willing to abide by the Judgment of the board, which decided to suspend all fur ther action until the New York Investiga tion is finished. E FIFTY MINERS HAULED FROM BURNING COAL MINE. Electric Generator Explodes and Sets Fremont Mine on Fire. Prompt Action of Rescuers. PUBBLO, Colo., Oct. 6. A defective elec trical generator started a destructive fire at the Fremont coal mine, near Florence, Colo., at noon today. All the buildings, including the shafthouse, were destroyed. Fifty men were working in the mine at the time the fire started. By some good fortune the air compressor was not damaged, and by the prompt work of their companions the 50 miners were rescued alive through the air shaft, which was being slowly burned. The men were In the main working shaft when the Are started, and were unable tp get to the surface by reason of the flames 'having destroyed the main shaft. Super intendent McAllister, realizing their (dan ger, signaled them to hasten to the air shaft and that ropes would be let down to rescue them. They acted at once, and, while all of the available men In the camp were fighting the flames, which were extinguished about 5 o'clock this after noon. Mr. McCallister and 20 men were hoisting the miners from the air shaft, one at a time, the work being so slow that only two were raised an hour. At a late hour tonight nearly all of tho men have been brought out and the rest are in nov danger. The property loss is about 575,000.

CHICAGO, Oct 6. -Expert testimony on the subject of freight rates was given in jludge Bethea's court today In the In terstate Commerce Commission's suit against 17 Western railways. T. W. Tom llnson, secretary of the American Stock growers' Association of Den'er, traffia agent for the Chicago Livestock Ex change and for 15 years connected with the freight departments of .a number qf "Western roads, was on the .witness-stand and was questioned at length by counsel regarding his opinion of the reasonable ness of the rates on cattle, dressed meat and packing-house products. "In my opinion the present rates on livestock from Missouri River points and Southern Minnesota to Chicago are too high," he said. "The rates on livestock should be lower than on dressed meat and packing-house products from these points. Even with equal rates on these commodities, the livestock Interests would be discriminated against. The present schedules are unfair to Chicago. They give an advantage to the St. Paul and Missouri River, markets." VICTIM OF COMPETITION" LAW Foraker's Answer to Shippers' Com plaint Against Railroads. CINCINNATI, ' Oct 6. Senator Joseph B.
