CUBA 1S FREE AGAIN MAGOON SAILS HOME American Control Ends With the Inauguration of the New President. # PARTING SALUTE TO CUBA MNative Government Now In Full Pos- session and Starts Auspiciously. Havana.—Major General Jose Mi- guel Gomez was inaugurated pres! dent of the restored Cuban republic January 28 at noon and within an Rour after he had taken the solemn sath of office, administered by the chief justice of the supreme court, the American officials who had been in control cof affairs since the autumn ef 1906 had departed from the island an battleship and army transport. The American provisional governor, €harles E. Magoon, who escorted General Gomez to the palace and there turned over to him the reins of government, sailed on the new Maine. This feature of the program was en- tirely impromptu, as it had been ex- pected up to the last minute that the scout cruiser Birmingham would call for the denarting executive. The Maine was followed out of the harbor by the battleship Mississippi and the army transpori McClellan. An im- mense crowd gathered along the sea walls to witness the spectacle and a perfect swarm of yachts, tugs and small boats accompanied the ships to the cpen sea, where full speed ahead was signaled and the gray fighting vessels and white transport soon left the little flotilla behand, with a chorus cf whistles screeching fare- well salutes. Last Salute to Cuba. A Cuban gunboat also accompanied the ships some little distance to sea with a band cn board playing from time to time the Cuban National anthem. J.arge Cuban flags flew from the foremasts of the battleships and transport, and as they passed the narrow channel entrance under the towering white walls of Morro, the white clad sailors of the Maine and Mississippi menned the rails in un- broken ranks from stem to stern. The scene so filled with significance was a most impressive one, but the erowds ashore looked on in character- #stic silence. The decorations on the buildings everywhere were most elaborate, be- fing composed chiefly of Cuban and Spanish flags. Even the trolley cars were laden with bunting, palms and artificial flowers. . The departure of Governor Magcon and the military officers who served as advisers to the native officials dur- ing the period of intervention leaves about 3,000 trcops still on the island, under the command of Major General Thomas L. Barry. These will be re- turned to the United States as fast’ as the transpert service will permit, the last of the troops leaving on April 2. ' The army has endeavored throughout to manifest itself as little as possible and it will be still less in evidence now that the island is once again in native hands. Cuba’s New Start Propitious. Cuba begins her new period of in- dependence under conditions which seem as propitious as could be evolv- ed. Peace reigns from the western extremities of Pinar del Rio to the astern promotories of Santiago province, and no disturbing element is anywhere in evidence. President Gomez gces into power as the over- whelming choice of the people and the Liberal party, to which he be- Jongs, will have full sway in the con- gress. No nation ever seemed more favorably started toward permanency of independence than the island sur- rendered today: by. .thg American paci- #icators. Inauguration Brilliant Affair. Inauguration day was brilliant with sunshine and intensely warm. Crowds Began. gathering in front of the pal- xce in the early forenoon. ships in the harbor, including the American battleships, put on gala at- fire of flags and pennants and bits of signal bunting. This day marks the anniversary of the All the' birth of Jose | Marti, called “The Apostle of Cuban | Liberty,” and the ceremonies he~ at 9 o'clock in the morning, with the placing of a wreath on the memorial #tmblet on the house where he was Born. At 11 o'clock, Alfredo Zayas was #mducted into office -as vice presiden’ of the republic in the senate chamber, fliis ceremony being brief and simple. The ceremony in- connection with fhe inauguration of the president at #he palace was also exceedingly brief. When Governor Magoon and the pres- fdent-elect arrived from fhe lotte-’s wesid-nce, the reception hall of the palace was crowded to its full capac- Sty wih brilliantly uniformed dipio- matic representatives and army offi- aers, black gowned justices of the su- preme ccurt, end eonventionally attir- @d civilians. In addition to the resi- dent diplomats, many special envoys attended. A new agricultural building is to $e erected for the University of Bzine at a cost of about $35,000.

New York.—A movement to secure a reduction cf the tariff on live ani- mals used for food iS being carried cn by the Master Butchers’ ‘associa- tion of New York state and 'allied bodies throughout the country. Pres- ident E. F. O'Neill of the New York state branch in the course of a state- ment says the proposed tariff amend- ment is intended to apply to live cat- tle, sheep, lambs, calves and hogs destined for human food. - “This action on the part of the Master Butchers’ association is not prompted by the selfish desire for profit,” he asserts, “but by an unsel- fish wish to aid the consumers in ob- taining their meat supplies at the least possible price.” Mr. O'Neill says the prevailing high price cf meat is caused largely by the absorption of range lands by the small farmer and by the high price of corn. The shertage in the meat sup- ply he says can be largeiy offset by the free admission of cattle from Canada, Mexico and Argentina. FIFTEEN INJURED IN WRECK Train Derailed Near Mouth of Tunnel!

Robbers rth, Tex.— Bank xr V( CHANGE PROPOSED I SEADOL LAWS New Code Prepared by Commis- sion Appointed by Governor ¥ of Pennsylvania. TE ey inh ped WARD DIRECTORS LOSE POWER New Measure Will take Control of School Matters Oyt-the Hands = of : Politicians. Harrisburg.—The most - important legislation of the present session ap- peared when Representative Harry S. Lydick of Pittsburg, introduced into the house and Senator William C. Miller of Bedford, presented in’ the senate the new school code prepared by a commission appointed by Gov- ernor Stuart. Among the changes proposed the provision for taking the schools out of politics is perhaps the most im- portant. It is proposed to divide the school districts of the State into three classes: the first, embracing Philadelphia and Pittsburg; .the sec- ond, all the other cities of the State and boroughs and townships having more than 5,000 population; the third, townships and boroughs of less than 5,000. Philadelphia and - Pittsburg are to have each a school board of 15 members appointed by the courts; school boards in second-class districts are to have nine members, and boards of the third class to have five. Outside of the two chief cities, mem- bers of the school boards will be elected, their names appearing in non-partisan columns of the official ballot. To all these boards extensive pow- ers ‘will be given, for it is realized that the men composing them will be equipped by ability and training to handle matters of large importance. In the cities the school board will ex- ercise the powers now belonging to the central and ward bodies. Thus responsibility will be centered. The pecple will know upon whom to place the blame if things go wrong. The manifold duties of school administra- ticn will not be divided among a host of smaller bodies. Many striking departures are pro- vided for in the new code. Among them is a state board of education, to be appointed by the governor, which shall standardize the educa- tional system and supervise the ex- amination of teachers and the grant- ing of permanent certificates. A significant provision is that prohibit- ing the changing of text books often- er than every five years. Under the new code the State assumes control of the construction of school build- ings. Plans must be either furnish- ed by the State authorities or ap- proved by them. Every school over two stories high must be fireproof, doors must open outward and all ar- rangements be such as to protect the lives and health of the children. The establishment of the State school fund is an important reconimenda- tion. - It is suggested that the great forest reservations of the Common- wealth be used as the nucleus, all future revenues derived from them to be applied to this purpose. LONG SEARCH REWARDED Police Seek Eight Years Before They Arrest Man for Murder and Robbery.

London. — The Balkan situation is again causing some anxiety at the European capitals. Bulgaria's action in calling out her reserves is appar- ently explained by Turkey’s attempts } to secure a rectification of the exisi- ing frontier as a condition for redue- ing her monetary demands from Bul garia. Noting the danger of trouble between Turkey and Bulgaria, the powers are again resorting to nego- tiations to bring about joint pressure in favor of a peaceful settlement. “It is repcrted that Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, has sounded the powers on this sub- ject and a St. Petersburg dispatch an- nounces semi-officially that Russia has already addressed a circular dis- patch to all the signatories of the Berlin treaty. -In this circular, Russia proposes to make commen representations to both Sofia and Constantinople against any change being made in the front- ier line which would endanger Eu- rTopean peace, and urging both gov- ernments to refrain from a military movement. According to a Sofia dispatch, Great Britain bas advised Turkey to accept an indemnity of $20,000,000, and Bulgaria is inclined to pay this sum provided Turkey abandons her claim for rectifiction of the frontier. Ncgotiations between Austria-Hun- gary and Turkey are still dragging, owing to the fact that the Turkish- government has not yet succeeded in putting an end to the Austrian boy- cott.

Jchnstown, Pa.—From present indi- cations the death list in the Mer- chants’ mine of the United Coal Company at Boswell, Somerset county, where an ex- plosion and fire occurred, will be five, all Americans. State Inspector Louther said that he had explored practically all of the workings and that he was confidént there were no more bodies in the mine, although debris hinders investigation in some of the passages. The Known Dead. Superintendent J. G. Logan, of Pittsburg; body taken out last night; went in to make investigation of al- leged defects and was entombed. George Morris, assistant superin- tendent; body recovered at 7:15 this evening; leg gone and horribly burned. . John Cole, day foreman, hand blown off and body burned; recovered at 7:15. Andrew Shuled and his son, miners, of Boswell. The Injured. William Hay, fire boss, of Jenners; one of the rescuers; taken out at 5 o’clock in critical condition. Six or eight foreigners who escaped last night, painful burns and bruises. More Bodies May Be in Mine. The conviction is firm outside the mine that more bodies will be recov- ered when the investigation is made more thorough. The coal company hés not yet checked up the list of its employes, and even were that done it is possible that other perscns from outlying points may have entered as rescuers and never come out. Several crews of men are still at work penetrating the workings as far as possible. A thorough investigation will be necessary to ascertain the real value of the explosions, for it is now known that there were three of them. At present no cause can be assigned other than that a pocket of gas, expos- ed by a shot fired just before the day shift finished work, was ignited by the shot itself. ‘What caused the two sussequent explosions is a mys- tery buried, it is supposed, with Su- perintendent Logan, who sacrificed his life for his employes. There were three different Lxplo- sions—the first at 4:30 o’clock, the second at about 8 o'clock. The first explosion occurred soon after the day shift of between 300 and 400 miners quit work, and no one was injured. Fire Boss George Hartshorn, so it is said, entered the mine soon after- ward a nd emerged some tjfme later with the assurance that everything was all right, so far as he could as- certain. Superintendent IL.ogan was not so sure, however, and, with As- sistant Superintendent George Morris and Foreman John Cole, went in to investigate. They refused admission to the mine to any of the night shift, although a number of foreigners, it is reported, would not listen and en- tered.
