Stability of Republican Form
Declared Menaced.
VETERANS HELD TO BLAME
Firm Stand or Cnlted States I
' Canve of Excitement at Hithi.
Good Effect on Lawless K la
ment If Predicted.
WASHINGTON. Jan. H. Nolle M
served on Cuba by tha Stata Depart
ment today that tha Vnlted States
would Intervene unless the veteran or
iranlxatlon of tha republic ceased to
nullify the laws guaranteeing a repub
lican form of government In the Island.
The Governmenta attitude wa et
forth In tha folowlna note, presented
formally today to the Cuban govern
ment: "The situation In Cuba, as now re
ported, causes grave concern to the
government of the United States.
Mm Xt Be Defied.
"Thai tha laws Intended to safeguard
tree republican government shall be
it forced, and not defied. Is obviously
es-entlal to the maintenance of law,
order and stability' Indispensable to the
status of the Republic of Cubs, In the
continued well-being of which tha
L'nlted States has always evinced and
cannot escape a vital Interest.
"The President of the United States
therefore looks to the President and
government of Cuba to prevent the
threatened situation whin would com
pel the Government of the United
Mates, much against Its desires, to con
sider what measures it must take In
pursuance of tha obligations of Its re
lations to Cuba."
Tha notification of the American Gov
ernment was served upon President
Gomes through American Minister
Beaupr at Havana.
Senor Vlarln-Rivera, Cuban Minister
to tha United States was unapprised
of tha action, except through the
press, and declined to comment upon It.
Mlatater Beaaprw Restarts.
It was upon reports of Minister Beau
pr that today's not was based. Min
ister Beaupr reported from Havana
that In defiance of a decree Issued by
President Gomez, forbidding officers of
the army and rural guards to partici
pate In politics, many army officer
and rural ea attended a meeting Sunday
night of tha National Council of Vet
erans, an organisation of veterans of
the Cuban War of Independence. Such
participation also Is prohibited by law.
The veterans have been active In the
past three months In attempting to
have displaced from the civil service
persons who sympathized with the
Spanish causa in th. rebellion. Fress
dispatches today Indicated that th
veterans were threatening to coerce
member of Congress to nullify tha
law regarding tha participation of th
military in politics.
Gosaea la Tleeel af BMr.
Thls move convinced th State De
partment that th situation was tha
most serious that has presented Itself
since the veterans' move began. It has
been evident to tha Department that
President Gomes was powerless to re
sist th movement unlesa he received
substantial support from th outside.
Th declared purpose of some of th
veterans to make Ineligible for public
service a large element o-' the popula
tion because they sided with Spain In
the revolution had been pointed out
as Inconsistent Tlth Individual free
dom and fights guaranteed by the
constitution of Cuba. Th United States
regarded the activity of the veterans as
likely to threaten th stability of th
republic and hence the sharpness of
the warning Issued today.
The State Department after a careful
study of the obligations by the treaty
concluded that th time had come to
serve warning that for the second "and
perhaps tha last time" th United
states was prepared to Intervene in
Cuba If necessary.
Effertlv Reepoaae Kxpeeted.
The officials here'entertaln no doubt
whatever aa to the result of this note
of warning. President Gomes will en
force his decree against the partici
pation of the military In politics and It
is expee'ed there will be a decided
abatement of the trouble. If these re
sults are not obtained, then It reason
ably may be expected tha within a
short time the American flag again will
be hoisted over the government houses
In Havana.
The general staff long has had plans
prepared for just such a maneuver aa
this. Major-General Wood asked to be
excused from discussing the subject at
this stage, but It Is known that within
r few daya after tre word was given,
several thousand troops would be
marching aboard Array transports at
Newport News to sail for Havana.
Meanwhile, practically the whole At
lantic fleet, which Is now based on

CHICAGO. Jan. 1. (Special.) Sixty

possible record-breaking situation to
day. when the retail prlc of Elgin
creamery butter the staple of th
market reached 47 cents' In many
tores th highest price In the city's

The wholesale price. 4ZV4 cents a
pound, fixed by the Elgin Butter Board,
broke all wholesale records for 14 years
and commission men declared today
that advances In th prlc which would
place It high above th present point,
seemed Inevitable.
This addlUon to the high cost of liv

to the scarcity of butter, while other
persons ascribe it to an alleged trust
which Is already under investigation
by Federal authorities, or to a corner
by Eastern houses.

The Elgin butter barons yesterday
raised the price 4 cents. The advance
waa communicated to the Chicago
wholesale market immediately and had
no sooner been shifted to the retail
trad than It was tried on th consumer
th only on who cannot shift th
burden. "" .
Chicago retailers are charging aa
average of about 45 cents a pound for
fresh butter today, and are ready to
Increase the price as quickly as th
Butter Board gives the word.
Retailers are agreed that th prlc
would not stop short of 50 cents and
one dealer ventured to say that 60

ington. Jan. 16. Portland exported
mora wheat daring 1911 than any other
city In tha United States, passing New

Its heavy shipments during December.
This Is shown by an official statement
Issued today by the Department of

New York for three months ranked
Portland In 1911, but during December
Portland's wheat shipments amounted
to 1.458.2:3 bushels, as against only
150,000 bushels from New York. This
was more than enough to advance
Portland to first place.
New York's export for the year was
7.343,573 bushels. Baltimore ranked
third and Puget Sound fourth, with a
record of 3,434,872 bushels, against 4,
499,487 bushels In 1910. Puget Sound,
therefore, showed a decline of more
than 1,000,000 bushels for the year, as

As he watched his chauffeur, Chester
Frakes, hanging on to a live wire over
which a full current of 11,000 volts
was passing and knowing exactly that
his own chances of death were great,
J. S. Groo, superintendent of the
Mount Hoed Railway, Light & Power
Company, grabbed the young man's
overcoat and tore him from, his near
death grip on the wire.
t Had the boy ' hung one minute onto
the ' wire he would have been burned

known how Groo escaped death, for
he declines even to'discuss the occur
rence. Mr. Groo lives at 186 Ford

Superintendent Groo left Monday af

railway company, at Front and Tenth,
to turn on the current. He did his
work and left the building. An at

drove Frakes to the Good Samaritan

both arms were burned black, while
the flesh of his face was almost burned

SAL00NMAN CAUSES TILT
State Objects to Barney Ha f fey. Last
of Original Veniremen to Be
Called, on Grounds That He
May Be Biased.
When court Adjourned yesterday,
three additional veniremen, making six
who have been passed for cause, had .
been accepted tentatively by both the'
state and the defense In the Louis J.
Wilde trial. The prospective Jurors
temporarily approved yesterday by both
siies were: CF. Rampe. lineman. 86
Base Line road; Barney Hailey, saloon
man, ii-fa Third street Narth, and 4,ouia.
Haertlein, molder, 869 Mallory avenue.
W. E. Gaines, carpenter; Charles Dahl,
expressman, and LeRoy Hadley, gen
eral manager Baggage & Omnibus
Transfer Company, were challenged for
cause by the defense and excused by
Judge Kavanaugh.
J. TV Lacey. train auditor for the
O.-W. R. & N., was excused by the
court until tomorrow morning on ac
count of illness. The name of James
P. tailing was called yesterday to.,
take the place In the. jury box of one
of the excused veniremen, but Judge
Kavanaugh announced that Mr. Falling
bad been excused until tomorrow. t
Gaebler'a Qualifications Questioned.
When court adjourned yesterday aft-
ernoon, Fred Gaebler. laborer, 660 Har
row street, was being questioned as
to his fitness 'as a juror. The defense
submitted a tentative challenge for
cause against Gaebler, contending that
he was not sufficiently familiar with
the English language to make an effi
cient Juror. The challenge was denied
by counsel for the prosecution and the
further examination of Gaebler will be
taken up at 9:30 o'clock this morning.
Acceptance by the prosecution tem
porarily of Mr. Haffe. a Third-street
saloonman, followed a lively tilt be
tween opposing counsel in which Dep
uty District Attorney Fitzgerald and
Special Prosecutor Clark fought vigor
ously to have Haffey disqualified. Tha
saloonman, who was the last- of the"
original 12 veniremen called to the
jury box, readily qualified as a juror
under the examination conducted by
Mr. Malarkey, of counsel for the de
fense. In the cross-examination by
Mr. Clark, Haffey admitted that he had
been convicted three times under a,
state law In as many years on charges
of selling liquor without a license in
the Minnesota House, a rooming-house
over his saloon, on Sunday.
Fear of Bias Expressed.
Mr. Clark submitted a challenge fot
cause based on the conviction of Haffey .
on a misdemeanor Involving moral
turpitude anB for the further reason
of bias by reason of his own experience
with the present district Attorney,
whose office prosecuted the charges
against the liquor dealer. Either of
these grounds, if sustained, would have
served to disqualify Haffey as a Juror,
It waa argued by counsel for the state
that the fact that Haffey had persisted
in violating the state law and had been
repeatedly convicted in itself consti
tuted satisfactory proof that he was
guilty of moral turpitude.
This challenge was denied with equal
vigorousness by Mr. Malarkey and hii
associates for the defense, who argued
that the commission of any act that
was not in' rently wrong was not to
be construed moral turpitude on tka
part of the offender. In this connec
tion it was maintained that the sale of
liquor on Sunday, even though pro
hibited by state law, was no more
moral turpitude than If the same liquor
was sold on Saturday or Monday. A
brief recess was ' taken and Judge
Kavanaugh and the lawyers looked up
authorities.
Defense Gains Contention.
Upon reconvening. Judge Kavanaugh
sustained the contentions of the de
fense, ruling that violation of the
liquor law as to the sale of liquor on
Sunday did not constitute moral turpi
tude. As to the charge that Haffey
was biased In the interest of the de
fense, Judgl Kavanaugh held that the
examination of the venireman had not
disclosed anything to indicate the pos
session of the bias that should exclude
Haffey from serving as a juror in the
case. With this decision by the court,
counsel for the state passed Hattey for
cause, but it Is a certainty that' the
prosecution will exhaust one of Its
three peremptory challenges In accom
plishing the retirement of Haffey as a
member of the Jury that will pass on
Wilde's guilt or innocence.
Tust before court adjourned yester
day, Mr. Malarkey and Mr. Fitzgerald
had a lively altercation over one fea
ture of the questioning of prospective
jurors, which has been particularly
prominent 'n the examination of jurors.
Counsel were reprimanded by the court
