yesterdays BOARD session.
Previous to the special session of the
Board yesterday, the members visited
the Pantheon saloon and stables. The
party consisted of President Wood,
George w. Smith, Attorney General
Cooper, DR.. Day and DR.. Emerson. The
saloon premises were first inspected
and every detail of it's sanitary condi-
ton looked into. Mr.. Ables, one of
the owners of the saloon property, &C
companied the Board in its rounds.
and agreed to do whatever the Board
desired in the way of fumigation, dis
Infection or renovation. The Board
found that the vaults and cesspools
had already been cleaned out and dis

owners considered insanitary had been
removed and destroyed.
The stables were next visited. Here

heavily with stable fluids and some of
the catch basins were in a foul condi-
ton, especially the grated pool into
which the carriage dirt and water fell

and the Board is of the opinion that

ally slept directly on the hay, which
causes the Board to believe that this

after Monday.
The Board considered long over the
question of condemning the stable
structure. They felt they would be
blamed if they did not act promptly
with them, no matter what nationality
of people were the owners.
The Board was of the opinion that
the saloon and the stables were sep
arate propositions. Mr. Cooper moved
that if the proprietor of the Pantheon
saloon will remove the flooring, paint
the building inside and out, and thor

TIE Stable Question.

O There seemed to be prevalence of
opinion that the stables should be dealt
with by drastic measures if the infec-
ton were to be eradicated from the
premises. The structure seems to be
composed mostly of roofing, and board
ed up sides. The ground carries the in
lection, being saturated with animal
urine which has no opportunity of be-
ing drained away. The Board decided
that all the flooring should be taken
out and burned, cesspools drained, and
the place closed for a considerable
length of time until the Board felt that
it would be again safe to allow the pro-
prietors to resume business.
DIR. Emerson moved that all the an
finals be removed and the place be dis
infected. Carried. 1t was also moved
and carried that the details of the
treatment of disinfection of the stables
be left with the President.
Hack Stand Pau.

up and declared a nuisance. The hacks

THE NEEDS OF PORTO RICO.

DIR. Ames Says 81 Stable Government
Is the Prime Necessity.
In an address delivered last night by
DR.. Azel Ames before large audience at
the First Congregational Church he incl
dentally referred to the Porto Rcan tariff
and said it would be unjust and wanting
in equity If Americas first act toward the
people who came to her with friendlinesS
was to impose tax upon them. The prime.
imperative nece ssity. he said. was a stable
form of municipal government Even a
colonial form of government would be all
right, he stated. if nothing better could be
obtained. With any kind of a stable gov
eminent DR.. Ames thought the Porto Ri
cans would be able to prosper.
DR.. Ames had been in charge OF the SAM

said, do not ask charity from America. All
they want is the privilege of doing for
themselves. II we have taken them into
our household, he said, We must not make
them take sea- at our feet, but must
recognize Them as equals. Are they our
citizens or our yassals?" ne asked. Shall
we impose tax upon them without giving
them representation. thus placing them in
a worse position than cur Indians and

DR. Ames continued. tasks that justice and
right be done the Porto RiCans.'
They expect us TO fulfill our promise To
them and We must do Sc The injustice
of imposing a tax. especially on food stuifs,
needed by starving people. he said. could
easily be seen. and he was confident that
Congress would not permit such a wrong.
Nevertheless. DIR. Ames continued, al
though IA great deal has been said about
the tariff it will cut but very little figure
in the future development Of the island.
What is really needed is stable form OF
government. for without this capital will
steer clear OF the island. To deny the Por-
to Ricans form of civil government he
said. means their utter ruin. In conclud-
ing. DR.. Ames appealed to the people, TO
Congress. the Church, and the press TO do
simple even-handed justice to the Porto
Ricans Before referring to the tariff
question DR.. Ames gave brief outline OF
the early colonization OF the island, and
discussed its topography and climate. He
also spoke of the habits and customs OF the
people who. he said, were docile, indus
trious, and thrifty.
