The letter f President Roosevelt to Senor De Quesada the Cuban minister is the great topic of the day among Cubans and foreigners alike. Far from con sidering his reference to American in tervention as something to be dreaded it is almost universally regarded as the most desirable consummation possible of the trouble. The Associated Press correspondent has information to the effect that some of the government officials who are closest to President Palma privately welcome the idea and that the presi dent himself desires protection though no permanent intervention. The general opinion among Cuban business men today is that interven tion is the most desirable thing that can be suggested and their only fear is that it may be only temporary. COL.

One fine afternoon the colonel's chauffeur was speeding 'em some when a cop galloped up and put the Tar Heel under arrest. He went to poliee headquarters. A cash bond of J100 dollars was demanded by the cold-hearted sergeant and when Col. Pearsall went through his clothes he found the princely sum of $1.60. "Take my auto as security," re marked the colonel. There was noth ing doing. He put up a line of talk to the sergeant, but the sergeant saw and heard him first. Finally, the colonel suggested that the police would have lo lock up his chauffeur, and that' dignitary objected. He suddenly re- numbered that he had $120 in his pocket ami the colonel took the neces sary amount from the dignitary and turned it over. A moment later he was speding again, but this time he moved more cautiously. "Of course, there was nothing (fe grading about my mishap," said the colonel. "The day before my trouble Chaunccy Depew was arrested for the same offense and the next day they got Willie Vanderbllt. The day following they captured a millionaire equally as prominent, so I didn't suffer any mental anguish." THE CONDUCTORS WANT MORE PAY.
