DEMAND OF LIBERALS
For Annulment of Fraudulent Elections

(Asf.-iMrJ fVj Rtforl)
NEW TORK September IS. Commercial
gr.a flnar.clal men with Interests In Cuba
continue to watch keenly the situation In the
Island. Cables sent to Havana requesting
answers to vital questions were replied to
In the moat unsatisfactory manner aund this
gave rise to comment especially In Wall
street. The opinion there was that the cables
were all being subjected to a atrlct censor-
sMp. Tiie Times says th.it the almost universal
i pin. on among financiers yesterday was that
r.r.nexatlin was the only real solution of tha
problem. The Tlm s quotes Ihe head of the
Icailma Cuban banking house) M saying:
It is rumored In Havana that the com-
rv.erc ai element In Cuba advocates free trade
with the Tinted States. If this U guaran-
teed there will be nj opposition to anneata-
t:on President Palma Is stubborn but has no
backbone. He has taken tha advice of men
Tutside the government and been false to
Lis frlenos In the cabinet. An arbitration
board shuuld be formed In Wahlnton ani
sent down to Havana by tha preViuent to
remain for at l.ai five years. Taft will
say and do things when he arrives in Ha-
vana that will make the leaders of botu
sides squirm.
Both sides are to blame and have com-
mitted serious faults. The conditions are
chaotic today bvaue both aides are scared
and do not know what will happen wtieu
Taft gets there. '
While the members of the revolutionary
Junta expressed their pleasure over the sus-
pension of hostilities they declared in posi-
tive terms that there could be no perma-
nent peace unless the liberals' demand that
the last elections be anuuUt.l b granted.
"We will lay down our arms" said Colonel
Agv.irre "pending the negotiations for peace
but we can not accept terms tnat do not in-
clude the annullm.nt of the national elec-
tions heid la.-t I'ecember. Nor will we ac-
cept such a pronnae from t.-.e Palma gov-
ernment unless Its fulfillment is guaranteed
by the I'nlted. States "

A Thoughtless Druggist
QELY a thoughtless druggist would offer a preparation without the agiiatiir0
of Ohas H. Fletcher when Castoria is called for ; the " delicate feint and
flickering light" that joins baby's life to its devoted parents being too sacred'
to tie self-respecting druggist to be trifled with.
For over thirty years Mr. Eetcher has given and still gives Ms personal
attention to the preparation of Castoria. It has won the -confidence of mothers
and physicians everywhere never harmed tie tiniest babe.x This cannot .bo said
of Iniitations Counterfeits and the M Just-as-good" rot.
. The thoughtless druggist only offers the counterfeit because of a few pennies
more profit. Any new preparation can be but an experiment and they are experi-
mentsmere guess workirrespective of what their sponsors may say for thenv
It is experience of over thirty years against wild and injudicious experiment

regular meeting last night and adopted a
new scale of charges and agreed to maintain
a "deadbeat" list for the protection of the
doctors. Previously the're has been a "call-
ing" charge of 12 per call between the hours
of 6 a m. and 10 p. m. and 15 after 10 p. m.
Instead of two the day Is now divided Into
three sections nd frcm 6 a. m. to 7 p. m.
the price per call Is to be $2. and from 7 p.
n to 10 p. m. 18 and from 10 p. m. to a. m.
All the physician will prepare a list of
what they term "deadbeats'' or thoue who
could but will not pav the doctor and who
switch from one doctor to another until they
ow:e every one In town a bill and this lit
will be furnished all the doctors. They do
not Include poor and honest pennle in the
list but particularly those who switch about
from one doctor to another. And it will
doubtless result In one doctor refusing to
wait upon a person who Is listed as owing
other doctors.
