BAD TIMES IN PORTO RICO
BUSINESS STAGNATED AND PEOPLE
HAVE LOST HEART.
No Sale for Farm Products and No
Work for the Labor
ing Classes.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, April Ga dispatch
to the Enquirer from a correspondent at
San Juan, p. R., says:
Il was here before the war with Spain
and most of the time since, and must admit
that while sanitary and other reforms have
been worked out and other beneficent re-
forms projected, unavoidable disasters and
inexperienced administration have caused
the material condition of the people to be
worse now than under Spanish rule. In a
number of districts the people are actually
starving. There is no work; the planters
have no money to undertake cultivation.
The banks will not lend them a small
amount. The municipalities have no funds
and have failed in attempts to borrow the
necessary money to conduct affairs or I'M
dertake improvements. The markets are
paralyZed. The warehouses are fun OF to-
bacco. There is no sale of coffee. The
people are denied citizenship and are lett
like prisoners on the island to starye.
These things appeal to the people more
than implaI1ting schools and other reforms
Utterly heart sick, the people gather at
the wharves, gaze out on the water and
beg ship owners to take them anywhere.
Thousands are going to Hawaii, cuba, san
Domingo, Ecuador and other islands. the
local press urges the government to take
action at once to stop the exodus. Emil
grafton to Ecuador has practically stopped,
however, because of the alleged i'll treat
ment received by those who have sought
refuge there. AS result of the trip Oh
the Porto Rico commission to Washington
owners have been allowed to place their
own valuation on property and the bill mas
been otherwise modified and less opposition
is now made. The people still object, how
ever, to continuing the payment of 10 per
cent of the Dingley tariff

REFINING OF PETROLEUM.

crease in Wage Farmers.

crease In wage Farmers.
The census office issued a bulletin yester-
day on the petroleum refining industry pre-
pared by E. w. Parker of the geological
survey as an expert special agent of the
census 1t covers the calendar year 1899.
1t shows that to produce refined petroleum
to the value of s123 929, 1854 materials to the
value of s1O2, S59. 81 were consumed, show
ing a difference in value between the raw
material and the finished product much
smaller than is common in industries Of
more complicated character. The value Of
the products of the establishments engaged
in this industry has increased 45.S per
cent during the decade. Notwithstanding
that there has been decrease in the num-
Der of refineries there has been an increase
of per cent in the number of wage earn
ers and IA per cent in the amount Of
wages paid. The report says:
'rIt is a somewhat notable fact that IL, 1919
wage earners were employed by the 81 eS-
adjustments operating the 10 refiner1eS, the
statistics of which are included in this re-
port, being an average of 163 employees to
each refinery. The invested capital is $685..
32I So, which represents the value of lands,
buildings, machinery, tools and the live
capital required to carry on the business,
but does not include the capital stock of
any of the corporations. The value of the
products from the use of this capital was
S123. 929 ,}S4, to produce which involved an
outlay of S671T, 0S7 for wages, S102, S59, 341
for raw materials and s., 330, SOL for mis-
cellaneous expenses. The census schedule,
however, takes no cogniZance of the cost
of selling manufactured articles or Of in
terest on capital invested, or of the mer-
camille losses incurred in the business, or
Of depreciation In plant. The value of the
product given is the value obtained or
fixed at the refinery itself. OF the AZ, 3d.
664 barrels of refined petroleum produced
in 1899 not less than 16,668S09 barrels, or
nearly 40 per cent, were exported to for
eign markets.
THE United States is not only the 1arg-
est exporter of refined petroleum, but it's
trade in this commodity has rapidly in
creased during the census decade and Is
apparently susceptible of great increase in
the future

Miss Burch Says She Does Not Fear
Arrest.

Miss Burch Says She Does Not Fear
Arrest.
MISS Susie Burch, daughter of NJ r
Burch of Ballston, Va, Is still at the house
Of detention. She declared yesterday she
would not return home. because the St.
Louis man whom she says her father wants
her to marry will return there
And" she said, Il will never marry
him."
Late yesterday afternoon Mr.. Burch came
over from Ballston and called at the house
Of detention. If Miss Burch was glad to
see her father she certainly did not show
it. All he could say to her failed to induce
her to go back home with him. Early this
morning Mr.. Burch returned, bringing his
wife and an aunt of the girl and the trio
spent some time in private consultation
with Susie. When the consultation ended
the parents seemed no nearer a solution OF
the trouble than they have been heretofore
An appeal was made to Mr.. Pugh the
prosecuting attorney, who stated he could
do nothinge toward assisting the parents
There was no allegation that a law had
been violated and it was stated because
of the fact that she is more than eighteen
years old, she could not be turned over to
the board of children's guardians. Miss
Burch, as stated yesterday says she con-
suited a lawyer Thursday and she did not
fear arrest. She was really anxious for
the. police to arrest her, she said, in order
thats her troubles would be settled in a
legal way, and there would then be no
reason why she could not go to Pittsburg
and accept a position that has been prom
ised her. The young man whom she will
probably marry Is already there. she says,
and as her intentions are above reproach
she has nothing to conceal.
Miss Burch's brothers and her sister Wis
tied her at the house of detention today,
but failed to induce her to go home 1t is
stated that her parents are endeavoring to
find legal hV which n
compel her to return or place her in some
institution for a short time.

PROMISCUOUs ExPECTORATION
Dangers TherefrOm Pointed Out b
New York Health Officer.

District Commissioner mcfarland, who
has Immediate charge of the health de-
partment. has referred to the health off,
Ger, DR. VIM c. Woodward a communion
ton from citizen, inclosing the substance
OF a recent statement of DR. John b Cosby
commissioner of the New York board of
health. regarding the dangers which arise
from promiscuOus splitting and the consid-
erations which influenced the New York
board of health in adopting its late regula-
tion prohibiting such practice
1t Is well-known fact" SAYS DR. Crosby
but too often forgotten, that most of the
diseases OF the respiratory tracts. including
olphtheria, measles. scarlet fever pneumo-
ma teoercnlosis influenza. and probably
an acute forms of bronchitis. are the re-
suit OF the action OF germs which are
present in the secretions of the respiratory
tract. II has also been shown by recent
Investigations that in many Instances
these germs are present for long periods Of
time during convalescence from these dis
eases IN the mucous secretions and in mild
and unrecognized cases
Through splitting in public convavapcos
on sidewalks. station platforms of elevated
railways. in public buildings etc the
germs producing these diseases are widely
alssT minated and are constantly tracked in
10 the houses on the soles of shoes and
through the trailing skirts of women
which have been soiled by the exnectora-
ton These considerations from a public
A-'ai1H viewpoint are quite sufficient In
themselves to justify the enactment of
stringent regulations prohibiting this prac-
nee aside from the filthiness of the habit
ana the pubic nuisance which those who
practice il become"
There Is police regulation In force in
the District which makes it unlawful for
any one to expectorate spit on any part
or any street railway car or other public
vehicle carrying passengers for hire or in
or upon any part of any public building
under control of the Commissioners of the
District The penalty for violating this
regulation is fine OF not less than one dol
lar nor more than forty for each ofrense
IL Will be observed that expectorating or
splitting upon the sidewalks Is not made nm
lawful by this regulation, and ii is under
stood the Commissioners will ask the opin-
ion of the health officer as to the propriety
Of amending II so as to include sidewalks
II is known that Dr.. Woodward is In fun
sympathy with such a movement having
so expressed himself in official reports upon
more than one occasion. and Ii is expected.
of course. that be will earnestly recon-
mend such enlargement of the regula-
ton as to-cevef sidewalks and like places

The Philadelphia North American Of to-
day says: Charles B. Stryker Of New York
said to represent a formidable array Of
English capital, has secured a twelve-day
option on the valuable property of Peter
Hagan, consisting of twenty-six acres, To-
Gated on the Jersey shore in Pensauken

In the interests of the syndicate for which
he is agent Mr.. Stryker has also acquired
Petty's Island, and the two properties will
in all probability be the site Of the largest
shipbuilding plant in the United States
Rumors have been affoat for several DAYS
that a huge deal was pending in connec-
ton with the island, but they lacked veri-
fication. Mr.. Hagan, who is directly in
terested in the scheme, declared yesterday
that the proposed enterprise is very nearly
a reality.
He is conducting his negotiations with
Charles w. Brown, an attorney represent
ing Mr.. Stryker, and does not know who is
behind the big deal. He thinks that the
purchasers are one of three firms-Vickers
