SUSF Young Man Believed to Have Pilfered From Churche: A young man who gave his name as A. T. Turner was arrested 1: night by Detective Browne on suspicion of being the man who has robbed the poor bexes in several local churches. He denied the charge. While at police headquarters he told the detectives that he came here from San Francisco, where he had been ar- rested on a charge of robbery. He said he left there after his release on bond and that he is now wanted there. A telegram sent to the San Franciseo police brought the in- formation that the young man is not wanted there. “1 that Turner had called at ches during his stay here and had been intréduced to the ministers. Some of these churches were afterward robbed. Turner is held pending a further investiga- tion of the case. — Alleged Roguery. Guy M Dickerson, who recently finished ntence In jail at Richmond, was brought here last night by Deputy Marshal Bene- ict and turned over to the police. He is charged with having stolen a watch from jamin F. Rathray of 914 East Capitol street two years ago. The young man claims that he ts from San Francisco. He says he also lived for a time in Kansas City. in the house of the minister. It is charged that he took the latter's watch and sold it fer $3.50. The detectives are also Investigating other cases in which it !s charged he figured. He will be given a trial in the Police Court tomerrow. Pill ill-Sense.

'd Needs Civil Government Must Have Tariff Relief or It Will Starve. A clear and concise statement of the atti- tude of the people of Porto Rico with re- gard to the pending adjustment of thelr affairs was given today to a Star reporter by Mr. Tulio Larrinaga of San Juan, one of the federal delegates to Washington to at- tend to the insular interests at this junc- ture. Mr. Larrinaga, who is staying at the Hotel Cochran, is a civil engineer, and through his professional work has become thoroughly acquainted with every phase of the island's affairs. He speaks excellent English and expresses himself plainly and without agitation, yet with deep feeling. He sald: “Let the American people and Congress understand us thoroughly. We want. of course, free trade with the mainland, That is our chief desire as regards the tariff situation. But we need the civil govern- ment features of the pending bill even more keenly. We would be grateful for a reduc- tion of the tariff rates from 160 per cent, of course. Anything less than the full Ding- ley rates would help us, by adding to our chances for finding a market. Our hope for free trade is based, however, upon the de- sire to see a principle established, not nec- essarily that the Constitution applies to us of its own force, but to permit us to feel that we have become in a tangible manner attached to the American Unten. We want to feel that we belong to you and are of you, not that we are a mere dependency. to be treated precisely as any political whim may dictate. An Agricultural People. “Perhaps it is not fully understood that we are almost exclusively an agricultural people. At least #0 per cent of our Inhabi- tants depend directly upon the plantations for their living. The other 20 per cent thrive upon industries and professions and other callings which are themselves sustained by the plantations and the trade of the planta- tion workers.- So that the plantation is the unit of our prosperity and anything that affects it unfavorably affects the whole population as certainly as any cause will produce its assured effect. “Therefore industrially our great need Is for a market. We have no market today. There is the very slightest profit possible upon any of our commodities, and upon those only which are produced by improved methods. Most of the plantations are not equipped with labor-saving machinery and their owners cannot today sell save at a loss. The warehouses are filled with har- vested crops, while the fields lie practically idle and the thousands of laborers who wonld otherwise be employed and prosper- ous are starving and dying. Civil Government Necessary. “But it must not be thought that the lessening of the tariff rate will meet our needs. That would be only a temporary relief. It would permit us to market the stored crops and perhaps to start the plan- tations again upon a reduced scale. But it would not encourage capital to establish itself in the Island, nor would it draw work- ers to us with labor and means. We need guarantees of stable government, civil gov- ernment. The military government has been comparatively mild and just, but it is wrong in principie and is objectionable to the spirit of the people, who have been led to expect the other kind. Whatever the form—we do not haggle over forms—any kind of ctvil government to replace the military administration would setile affairs upon a permanent bh and capital would seek Investment, thus stimulating the in- dustries of the island ‘So we hope that the Senate will not di- vide the pending bill or table the civil gov- ernment proposition.

We h charges upon us now support will be much easier than ev only we have the chanc No Effect Upon the World's Markets. t has been urged that our crops would unsettle the trade balances and inguriously affect the prices of sugar and coffee and tobacco. The absurdity of this statement ts to be appreciated by a mere glance at the map, showing the small size of the land and the insignificance of this little planta- tion compared h all the sugar, coffee and tobacco growing territory In the world. “We hope to see our coffee marketed in the United States soon. We think it far better than Rfo and as good as Mocha and ‘a. In Europe it is preferred to Mocha and Java. In the French cities restaurants of those heavy will serve you almost invariably with Porto Rico coffee. It may not be called such, but it will be ours. We cannot find that market now. because the Spanish gate ts closed to us: but we hope to teach the Americans to appreciate our coffee. It ean be placed in your markets under favorable conditions at a lower rate than any other coffee, and yet it will challenge all others for flavor. And this fact is to be borne in mind, lest some high-tariff advocate should be frightened at the prospect of a market flooded with our coffee: The city of New York alone, if it were so disposed, could more than consume every pound of coffee the whole Island of Porto Rico could possibly grow.” a LAW RELATING TO NUISANCES. Cognizance of Complaints Against Al- leged Indecent Theatrical Shows. Maj. Sylvester, the chief of police, has forwarded to Commissioner Wight a copy of section 385 of the penal code of the state of New York defining a public nutsance. According to the New York law a public nuisance 1s a crime against the order and economy of the state, and consists in unlaw- fully doing an act, or omitting to perform a duty, which act or omission either annoys, injures or endangers the comfort, repose, health or safety of any considerable number of persons, offends public decency, unlaw- fully interferes with, obstructs or tends to obstruct, or render dangerous for passage, a lake, or a navigable river, bay, stream, canal or basin, or a public’ park, square, street or highway, or in any way renders a considerable number of persons insecure in life or the use of property. “Under this law,” says Maj. Sylvester, “it seems that a case must first be taken before a committing magistrate, when, if held, it goes before the court, and, if re- quested, a jury, for trial, “Under existing law in the District of Co- lumbia, I am informed that where a place of amusement or other institution becomes obnoxtous to any congregation of people it may be taken before the grand jury and indictment secured. Perhaps the attorney for the District of Columbia can enlighten you further upon this subject." Commissioner Wight has recommended that the matter be referred to the attorney for the District for an opinion as to “whether under the present law action could be taken by submitting a case to the grand jury, as suggested by the major and superintendent, and if not, If he can sug- gest any other way in which exhibitions im- moral and indecent can be dealt with.” Mr. Wight’s recommendation has been approved by his associates, and it is un- derstood the attorney’s opinion ts desired because of complaints which have been made to the Commissioners of alleged {m- moral and indecent theatrical perform- ances and exhibitions given here.

I _— CEMENT COMPANY RESUMES Washington Enterprise in Operation at Oum- berland. Steel Company Employes Discharged for Demanding Increase of Wages —Freight Wrecked. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. CUMBERLAND, Md., March 21.—The Cumberland Valley Cement Company, man- ufacturers of hydraulic cement, have re- sumed operations at their plant at Cedar Cliff, on the West Virginia Central railroad, five miles west of Cumberland. They, will this spring rebuild the plant, putting in all new, improved grinding machinery, and a new air compressor to operate the drills in the quarries. They will add four more kilns and expect to manufacture one hun- dred thousand barrels of cement this sea- son. The company is composed almost en- tirely of Washingtonians. S. Dana Lincoln is president; Joseph G. Waters, vice presi- dent and treasurer; P. J. Brennan, secre- tary, and Robert Dalton, jr., a tant sec- retary. James Grant of Cumberland is su- perintendent. Demands Caused Discharge. A force of laborers employed by the _Po- tomac Steel Company struck for $1.25 a day yesterday, or 15 cents advance. When they presented their grievance to President 8. J. Macfarren he at once ordered them off the premises and put other men on. The men had recently been given a voluntary raise of 10 cents. Wreek of Freight Train. Local freight No. 30 was wrecked on the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg rail- way, four miles south of Parsons, W. Va., yesterday. Four cars were derailed and two were turned over a declivity. One man was slightly hurt. The wreck was caused by a broken axle. The track was blocked six hours. Trying to Adjust Wage Trouble: The committees of machinists. which v ited the railroad shops at Altoona, P: Hinton, W. Va., and Clifton Forge, Va., with the view to ascertaining wages and class of work done, so that the scale may be fixed in the Baltimore and Ohio shops here accordingly, have returned and have made reports to Baltimore and Ohio head- quarters. Master Mechanics Billingham of Cumberland and Weisgarber of Mt. Clare shops have likewise made reports. It is thought the wage trouble here will be adjusted to the satisfaction of all con- cerned. The independent tin plate mill operated here by the Taylors of Philadelphia is very busy. It is expected that the fourth of the 26-inch mills in the plant, which is being gotten in readiness, will be started up Monday. Then 140 men will be em- ployed. The stagnation in South Cumber- land following the closing down of the Cumberland mill by the trust has been dis- pelled. E. E. Place of Hartford, Conn., has been appointed general yardmaster for the Bal- timore and Ohio railroad at Cumberland, succeeding John M. Niland, who will be transferred. ———_+--—___ PHYSICIAN'S SUDDEN DEATH. Dr. Benjamin A. Carr of Anne Arundel Expires of Heart Disease. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., March 21.—Infor- mation was received this morning of the sudden death of Dr. Benj. A. Carr of Mc- Kendry Chapel, Anne Arundel county. Dr. Carr was apparently in his usual health yesterday, and last evening was in conver- tion with Dr. Perry, his partner, rela- to the latter's trip to Baltimore on ‘s matters. On arising this morning called to him, and no: receiving # reply, supposed him to be asleep, and not wishing to disturb him, started for Balti- more over the Chesapeake Beach road. On arrival at this point a telephone m¢ was received informing him that Dr. had been found dead in bed short his departure by a member of the family. Dr. Carr was in the sixty-sixth year of his age and unmarried. He was one of the after FINANCIAL The Sitting Waltz The young people who indulge in the giddy mares of the waltz will hear with interest that the heads ef Washington and New York society have de- clared that “sitting out’ a waltz will be more fashionable from now on than dancing. The “sit- ting out" embodies the same position as dancing — the only difference 1s that yon sit Instead of dance. The man’s right arm is around the girl's waist, while his left hand helds her right. Her left hand is placed on his shoulder, while her head rests lovingly on his bosom, and all they have to do Is sit and Usten to the music. Now that is Something Like It A whele roomful of people sitting around on sofas, bugging to music, wonld be “great,” and not only 80, but this errangement would give the old rheumatic brethren another good chance to waltz. And while many a man muy lose his appetite for dancing, he has to get powerfal old before he loses his appetite for that kind of 2 waltz.
