Porto Rico 5 Purse.
She Is. Not Poor.
High Tribute To Governor Aim.

Porto Rico has more than 100000 to
her credit in the United States Treasury.
This is the full amount of the customs re-
ceiplS from goods imported fom Porto Rico
INTO the United States. Under the Porto
Rican tarff law it was provided that all
such receipts should be held in the treasury
subject to demand from the inSular gov
ernment sfor the purpose of paying govern
mental, expenses says the n. Y. CONNER
clal Advertiser. But the revenues from
other sources have been so large that it has
not yet b en- found necessary for the insu.
lar government to call upon the l hited
States for any portion of the funds.
At the time The Porto Rican tariff bill
was under consideration it was not believed
tbat the island would receive sufficient re-
venue from internal taxation alone to meet
current expenses, and it was doubted whet-
her even wich duty amounting to ID per
cent, of the Dingley rates upon imports
from Porto REQ to The United States and
from the United States to Porto Rico sulli.
clent revenues could be secured.
Bus one years administration under
American control demonstrates that the re
venues from internal taxation and from the
customs duties upon imports into the island
are almost sufficient without trenching upon
he receipts from customs duties upon i'm
ports from the island into the United States
There could be no higher tribute to executive
ability of Governor Allen aud to the eff.
cheney Of the financial machinery which has
been pat into operation during his incum
beGcy. In he report of Mr.. Hollander, the
treasurer of Porto Rico, it is stated tha;
during the eleven months Of civil govern
ment from May 4, 1900, to March 31.190l,
The total expenditures of the island aggrega
TED 81. $50, ,0Sl'4l. The turds actually re
ceived by the treasurer in that period were
81, ,S3l sos 10 aud The excess Of receipts
over expenditures was $S1, ,S27.05.

Accident Which Resulted in
HuchorJtC naa%b

Mrs. Annie Marie Gardner died at the
Waldeck Sanitarium yesterday morning
from scalds which she received Septem-

bursting of a steam box near which she

VANOAL BREAKS
STORE WINDOWS
Carries on Work Of De-
struction in Business
District.

A window smasher, who is believed to
be insane, IS at work in the commercial
section of the city. His latest piece OF
destruction was committed Thursday
night at $40 Sacramento street. The
police have been unable to secure a cleW
to his identity or a motive for his ma
liciousness.
Thursday night pedestrians were at
tracted by the sound of breaking glass at
the corner of Leidesdorff and Sacramento
streets, and they saw a man hurling
cobble stones through store windows. The
lights in many of the buildings in that
neighborhood are protected by iron shut
ters, and when the mlscreant tired of
casting stones against these he turned his
attention to a restaurant owned by Mar
tin ToVaraZ.
Officer John Herlihey heard the noise
and rushed up Montgomery to Sacra-
mento street. When the window smasher
saw the policeman he started to run, and
made his escape. Nearly all the windows
in the restaurant were demolished
Recently the police have received COM
plants of windows being broken in the
vicinity of the restaurant, and it is
thought that the malicious work was
committed by the same person. The
smasher is described as nearly six feet
in height and of dark complexion. He
wears long black beard.

that creek In addition, the MADEIRA
Sugar Pine Company employs many hun
dreds Of men in the lumber industry
and in caring for the 6O-mile long flume.

decision, because the waters of Big Creek
are also used in the fuming of lumber to
Judge Corcoran has awarded the entire
flow of the waters of Big Creek during
the summer and fall months, which is the
only time when the water is of value, to
the defendant and to the interyenor for
the purposes of irrigation and the fium-
ing of lumber, which decision is COM
