' An investigation : into the manner in which the jail-here has been conducted has resulted in a mild sensation. " It was so found that many prisoners had been held for weeks without even being an-aimied for trial (Governor Taft or- dered the release. of .these men iaiid in- strncted the. jail officials to strictly ob- sprve the law in the future. The law provides for only a day's detention with out arraignment.

In the first place if would let Mr, Mitchell and his organiza tion down easy under cover of an extra session of the legislature, specially called to take up the strike case.

If the loan bill actually becomes a law the action of Cuba will undoubtedly be communicated to the United States congress by President Roosevelt In his annual message and it will then remain for the American Senate end House to determine whether in' issuing such a loan Cuba -has violated that section of the Piatt amendment which stipulates that the Cuban government "shall not assume or contract any public debt, to pay the interest Stpon which and to make reasonable sinking fund provisions for the ultimate discharge of which the or dinary revenues of the island, after de fraying the current expenses of govern ment, shall be inadequate." five . captured.
