COMPLAINS OF LL TREATMENT Spanish Minister Resents White House Rule. SENDS REPORT TO MADRID Advises Home Government That He Was Separated From Ambassadors at Recent Diplomatic Reception and Requests Spanish Officials to Be Equally Discourteous to the Minister From the United States. ' ‘Washington, Jan. 1 .— President Taft's first reception at the White House has resulted in a diplomatic incident which may prove decidedly embarrassing to the representatives of the United States abroad. Marquis de Villalobar, . Spanish minister, has ad- vised the government that he has com- municated to Madrid a stitement of the treatment he suffered at the re- ception and has requested the authori- ties to be equally discourteous to the‘ minister from the United States at the official receptions of the court of King Alfonso. From reports which have been in circulation following the reception to the diplomatic corps on Tuesday night last it appears that the president adopted a new plan of separating the ambassadors from the ministers. The MARQUIS DE VILLALOBAR. former were invited to enter an in- closure in the blue room indicated by a velvet covered rope, which was guarded by an official 1(’ the White House. ‘When the minister fl‘OL Spain had paid his respects to the president he started to join the ambassadors. He ‘was halted and told he :ould not en- ter. The minister protested and- the ‘White House official appealed to an- other officer for support. The latter listened to the represen- tations of the Spanish minister and then said, according to the report, that he would lay the matter before the president, the secretary of state not being present. Mr. Taft is said to have declined to permit the rule to be broken for the benefit of Marquis de Villalobar. The marquis left the White House in a huff and other ministers, when denied admission to the privileged space, also withdrew.

SAYS SALOONS MUST CLOSE Governor of Kansas Issues Ultimatum to County Officials. Topeka, Kan.,, Jan. 12.—Governor Stubbs has served notice on the coun- ty officials of Crawford, Cherokee and Leavenworth counties that unless they use more vigorous methods in enforcing the prohibition law he will call out the militia to do it. In these three counties the saloons and joints have been cleaned out, but the boot- leggers and cellar men do a flourish- ing business on pay day nights. Crawford and Cherokee - counties have many miners and Leavenworth county has many regular army men. The three have been the most per- sistent violators of the law in the state. The governor has grown tired of this condition and sent word to each officer that he was either corrupt or incompetent and that if he did not stop the liquor business the governor would provide the militia to do it. Frienu or vicum warned. Chicago, Jan. 11.—Within forty-eight hours after Benedetto Cinene had been murdered by members of the Black Hand society and twelve hours after the 194 Italians arrested on suspicion of connection with the crime had been released from custody, Joseph Noto, a butcher, who was a friend and neigh- bor of Cinene, received a Black Hand letter demanding $500 on penalty of death to himself and family if he failed to do so.

ANOTHER TERM FOR TAFT According to Report From Havana Member of Republican Cabinet Ex- pects Free Trade Democrat to Suc- ceed the Present Occupant of White House at the Expiration of His Eight Years in Office. Havana, Jan. 12.—Jacob M. Dickin- Bon, secretary of war, has hopes of a Democratic free trade president suc- ceeding Taft after the latter has served two terms, according to al statement made by Don Raymon Pe- layo, owner of the Rosario sugar mill, where Dickinson and his party took breakfast. Pelayo says that during a discus- sion at the breakfast table of the ques- tion of free entry of Cuban products into the United States Dickinson,said: “I am the only free trade Democrat in the Republican protection cabinet and after Mr. Taft has finished his second term I invite you to come to the United States to assist in electing a Democratic free trader.” The statement was made before a large number of guests, including members of the Cuban cabinet, army officers and prominent politicians and occasioned considerable surprise, as | well as unbounded enthusiasm. Dickinson’s, words were in answer to an appeal from Pelafo to work in favor of the free entry of Cuban products, “because,” as he said, “Cuba is the economic slave of the United States, being allowed reciprocity agreements with no other nation.” Secretary Dickinson asked Pelayo ‘whether, in his opinion, the United States could successfully operate su- gar mills in the Philippines. “Yes,” answered Pelayo, “if you got the right sort of men to run the mills. A sugar mill in the Philippines ought to clear its original cost in the first five years, but if it isn’t run properly it would sink eight times its original cost in this time.” New-Cash-Want-Rate ',-Cent-a-Word Where cash accompanies copy we will publish all “Want Ads” for half- cent a word per insertion. .Where cash does not accompany copy the regular rate of one ceuta word will be charged.
