A i B CUBA PLEDCES AD 0 SUGAR CAPITAL| [ schedute o Zayas Denies New Tarafa Bill Would Curb Rail or Other Rights. NEW October - 13.—The Cuban government has every desire to continue ‘its assistance to foreign capital in the sugar industry, “not lisregarding other interests” in which forelgn capital also is concerned, 1t was declared in a letter made public by President Zayas of the Cuban re- public to attorneys for American sugar companies who have directed criticisms at the Tarafa railroad bill. The letter was given to the Asso ciated Press by E. N. Robaina, corre: epondent for Havana newspapers. At the outset President Zayas said he had nothing to do with the draft- ing of the bill and learned nothing of it until it had passed the Cuban house of representatives, He said he realized the original draft contained features objectionable to American sugar ‘in’ ts, but in its modifed form as passed by the senate and signed by him, he believed 1 may benefit the established r companies without causing pe tible prejudice to any other interest which ouxht to be protected.’ Rall Restrictions Denled. tr answering criticisms from Ameri- can sugar men the Cuban president denied the bill prohibited them from building private railways on own lands in provinces of Camaguey and Oriente, which adjoin a' publi service railway. The bill does pro- hibit them, he said, from “conversion of a private railway into a public service railway in the municipal dis- trict in which the consolidated rail- ways may be giving e The bill excepts from this pro he said, those railroads already bult und those that may be constructed, pro- vided the latter are not used by an industry connected with a consell- dated public service railway, or so long as there is no public service rallway in the port to which they run. The bill interpretation that the prohibits railways which do not the consolidated from constructing new, or extending existing lines, was declared erroneous by President Za- vas. He said the bill only gave the consolidated a preferential right for such construction, Intringements Denied. it also was denied that the Tarafa tiii infringes upon the rights of r companies to load and unload their product in existing subports private ports and embarkation points, but, in reality, continues to recognize this privilege without limiting these operations to a determined amount. He pointed out, however, that a con cession to one company for a subport is not transferable to another com- pany “who does not possess the in- dustry for whose products the con- cession was granted.” He declared it was fitting that such a subport should not be used by the same con- cessionnalre for products other than those for which the grant v:as made. Confirmation _of existing permits ould not be denied, President Zayas ted “The right of a company to its own products, transporting them by sea to port authorized for ex- portation, is not denled by the bill sald the letter, “although a license will be required in order do this.” Regarding the constitutionality of the act, President Zayas said he would prefer not to discuss the mat- ter. As soon as the law is enforced, he said, any interested party could determine that fact by taking the case to the supreme court SHOOTING OF MAAS to LADTOLOVE PL[]Ti Jealous, Nationally Known Rival for Widow’s Hand Hired Gunmen, Is Belief. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. October 13.—The police have discarded the theory of burglary in the attack Thursday evening on Mrs. Ida M. Leslie and the subsequent shooting of Milton M. Maas, wealthy New York chemist, at Mrs. Leslie’'s home, at Sound Beach, Conn. In its stead they have sub- stituted a plot to kill Mr. Maas. A persou in close touch with the investigation of the seizing of Mrs. Leslio on the lawn of her home by three young men and the wounding twlce of Mr. Maas when he ran to her assistance was quoted as saying the authorities were convinced that New York gunmen were hired by a jealous rival to kill the chemist. In support of this theory it was pointed out that if robbery had been the motive the jewels worn by Mrs. Leslie, valued at $10,000, would have been stolen. Rival's Letters Seized. Seizure last night by the police of a package of letters from Mrs. Les- lie's home, it was said, disclosed that a New York milllonaire, nationally known, was a rival for Mrs. Leslie's affections. The name of the man was withheld. Mrs. Leslie still held to her first assertion that robbery was the motive for the attack and shooting and was indignant when the police suggested their new theory to her. She claimed the police were trying to make a mystery out of an amateurish attempt at robbery, declaring her jewels were not taken because they had been overlooked. Mrs. Leslie is a widow and Mr. Maas is_vice president of the Maas and Waldstein Company, manufacturing chemists. Mr. Maas last night was pronounced to be out of danger. One bullet plerced his shoulder and the other merely grazed his abdomen. 3-Inch Piece Cut From Man’s Head As He Converses Special Dispatch to The Star. PHILADELPHIA, October 13.— ‘While Dr. Charles H.

Bob White had sald that on Farmer Brown's land there was nothing to fear from hunt- ers with terrible guns. So mone of them gave another thought to that hunter who had found them over in the wheat field next to Farmer Brown's land. One of them was feel- ing very ill, for shot from that ter- rible gun had torn his back. Another had lost a few feathers. Mrs Bob White was mothering and trying to comfort the one with the torn back. Bob himself was counting bills, to make sure that every one was there. So it was that none saw that dog of the hunter's slip under the fence and begin to hunt on Farmer Brown's land. None saw the hunter with the terrible gun stop at the fence, read the sign on Farmer Brown's land warning all hunters to keep off that land, then look everywhere to see if “IF THE DOG FI1 THOSE BOB WHIT A CHANCE.” S. any one was in sight finds any of those Bob Whites take a chance.” said the hunter, “1t the dog walited while the dog ran this way and that wa: So it was with a shock of surprise, of most unpleasant surprise, that Bob White and his family heard the ap- proaching footsteps of that dog “Shall we fly?” asked one Bob White “No," replied Bob. ur brother who is hurt, couldn’t fly, anyway. Be- sides, it is only the dog. He hurt you. The hunter will not come over ‘on this land. We will keep perfectly still where we are.” So the Bob Whites crouched closas to the ground and kept perfectly still They heard the rustle of the dog's feet as he drew mnearer. Presently that rustling stopped. Peeping up through the krass, they standing motionless, pointing ut them with his nose. It was the same thing that had happened over in the wheat fleld before the hunter had come up with his terrible gun. So of those young Bob ites beca very mervous.
