nor Allen OF Porto Rico. Il think the
number leaving the island has been
less than 5000 all told and that has been
very small percentage OF the popu-
latlon.
AS TO the cause OF this emigration.
would say the men have found op-
portunities TO better their condition and
10 make better wages elsewhere. A
number went 10 Hawaii and l believe
others have gone to South America to
work in connection with the construc-
ton Of railroad.
The Porto Ricans are waking up TO
the fact that the outside world pre-
sents opportunities and when the chance
presents itself it is but natural that they
should avail themselves Of it, II Is
but reasonable TO suppose that emlgra-
ton from Porto Rico would be pro-
portionate to that Of any other coun-
try"
Santiago Iglesias, representing the
American Federation Of Labor in Por-
In Rico who will present to the presi-
dent a petition signed by 5000 work
ingmen of that island asking for work
Or bread. denies that he has been repu-
dated by the labor organizations Of
Porto Rico.
The organization l represent" said
Senior Iglesias. lis composed Of actual
workingmen who are too popular to
send cablegrams OF congratulation or
make contributions to campaign funds.
The American Federation OF Labor has
extended to this organization and recog-
nized me as its duly accredited repre-
sentative.
Il want American laws extended TO
Porto Rico and the island placed on the
same footing as territory Do away
with the conflicting laws and give cap

will be a betterment of conditions.

WORLD WAR ON RATS.
Japan VIII Appeal to Civilized Powers
for determination Of Rodents.

CHICAGO. April 15,-The Tribune
says:
A world war on rats may be proposed
bv Japan. That nation has been con-
Quoting an exhaustive investigation and
the conclusion has been reached that
the rodents are menace to human kind.
Consequently, says Dr. Nagusha,
who is visitor to Chicago, "the mikado's
government IS to appeal to civilization
to extermuate the rodents. Ii is de-
clared that the rats spread all sorts
of contagion while hundreds Of thou
sands OF dollars worth of property are
destroyed by the rodents each year"
The plague. says DR.. Nagusha. " ould
lose half OF its terrors should the rats
OF the world cease 20 exist. other dis
eases would claim fewer victims and
the earth would be safer place for
human kind.
DIR. Nagusha, who is a bacteriologisi
Of importance In Japan, is at the Audi
torium Annex He has been making a
study of the plague in Hong Kong, in
Bombay, In Japan and in other Of the
Oriental countries. He was convinced.
he said. that the rats were the greatest
propagators OF contagious diseases.
Japan, he said. had made an official
investigation Of the harm done by rats
and the result Of this investigation
would be brought TO the attention Of
the civilized world. His country is now
taking steps looking to the destruc-
ton Of the rodents. It is proposed to
induce other nations to do likewise.
Rats. declared the visitor served no
useful purpose and, besides spreading
germs, gnaw their way into hundreds
Of thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty eacn year.
Il am aware that am not advanc-
ing a new idea. said DR.. Nagusha. for
bacteriologists and members Of the med
ical profession have long been aware Of
the evil which rats work in the way
Of propagating contagious diseases. but
| did not realize the extent of this evil
until came to make my recent investi-
cations in connection with the bubonic
plague in the East I visited Hong
Kong. Bombay and other paris Of the
Orient. not 10 speak of Japan, and ev-
erywhere was confronted with the
fact that rats far more than anything
else were the active cause of propagat-
ing and spreading the plague.
= Time and again found that rodents
We're the active cause in spreading the
disease into some new quarter where
every ordinary precauton had been
taken to prevent the malady. These
precautions would have been effective in
all probability but for the infected ro-
dents carrying the germs with them"

UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRATION.
StrouS Demand IN London for Restric-

NEW YORK. n. Y. April l5,-
The question of alien immigration is
again forring its way into prominence.
says the London correspondent of the
Tribune, \ good many people fear that,
following the colonization OF South Az
rica ON large scale by men and women

this country by impoverished middle
men. money lenders and tailors from

from the ghettos NJ western Russia
Germany and Austria,
Lord Salisbury. Mr.. Balfour and MIR.
Chamberlain have at different times In
sisted on the necessity OF preventing
destitute aliens from taking up their
abode here. but the colonization OF the
country with people who are undesir-
able from every point OF view. except
thar " the sweating employees, still goes
on. The fact II the matter is, the
government has dropped the alien i'm
migration question because they are
anxious not 10 lose the political support

CHICAGO NOT WIDE OPEN.
Mayor Harrison Says II Is a Closely
Shut Down Town in Every Sense.

Il
Shut Down Town in Every Sense.
NEW YORK. April 15.-Carter H.
Harrison. mayor Of Chicago, is in this
city He says he came for rest and
recreation. While Mr.. Harrison did not
care to discuss politics last night he
did talk about reform and the charges
made that the administration in Chicago
fayors a wide open town and is in
league With the criminal elements.
Il believe" said he. that the proper
persons to institute any kind Of reform,
dramatic or otherwise, are the peoples
officials. I do lot believe it possible to
have what is called an open town un-
less the public wants it, I DO not be-
lieve that 1t is possible 10 reform a
community by passing laws. The com
munity cannot rise above its own level
and its level IS reflected by the way
in which 1t enforces its laws.
There is no truth in the report that
Chicago Is a wide open town. It is a
closely shut down town in every sense
Of the word. I think It is very poor
policy for a mayor to advocate the en-
| forcement Of blue laws or the ringing
Of the curfew bell when the people are
not in favor Of them. You cannot re-
form anv community by law It must
| be done by education"

WORK OF THE CONVENTION.

The members of the Constitutional
Convention will resume their work to-
day. and as the election is now a thing
Of the past, the atmosphere will be
clearer and the work of the convention
simplified. Necessarily, while an i'm
portant election was pending and an
important campaign i'll progress, the
Democratic members were more Or
less embarrassed in dealing with many
questions, notably questions relating to
the suffrage, but these embarrass-
ments no longer exist and we have no
doubt that the work will now proceed
with greater confidence and greater
dispatch.
There are now some difficult prob
lens for the convention to solve, but
the men in that body are quite capa-
BILE of dealing with them, and we have
no fear as to the result Intelligence,
fidelity, industry and patriotism i'll
combination are equal to any and
every political emergency. and these
are all in evidence in the convention.
We are distressed to hear however.
that the convention will he deprived

Mp. sHEpARD,s ESCAPE.

Edward AZ ]. Shepard should have q
TeDenm sung for the escape which he
has made from a situation that would
hare destroyed all that he lias for
years held most deap syTe believe that
by ulwiss counsel from Daver-d esirous
friends. and by the cunning speech
Of self-seelling politicians, Mr.. Shep-
ard was betrayed into allowing his
name to be used as a stalking horse
for Tammany, under the belief that
he would be able to serve his city and
his State better as the TaMnlany
Mayor than as the trenchant reformer.
Character is the result of many forces
operating for long time. and a mans
natural bent, whether for good or i'll,
is not suddenly diverted unless the
springs of his nature have concealed
their true inwardness both from him
self and his friends. And certainly
the friends Of Mr.: Shepard believe him
to be honest and fearless though per-
haps overtried by the glamour OF the
nomination for the great office of May
or. The greatest aspiration for men
like Mr.. Shepard is to serve their fell
low-men. He represented for years a
type Of moral and intellectual civiliza-
ton which had gotten far beyond the
desire for personal self-indulgence or
sordid greed. He had even passed Dc-
yond the love for knowledge simply
for the sake of knowledge, and repre-
l,of nj
heart which seeks to trse!all the forces
of science and learning, not for per-
sonal gain, but for the advancement
of ones fellow-men.
There is an almost resistless fasci-
nation for such q spirit in the oppor-
tunity offered by the Office of Mayor
for carrying out the works that will
make for purity and peace and COM
fort and civilization. We believe that
the vista opened UP to Mr.. Shepard's
Imagination was too stimulating to he
withstood, and he found himself, be-
fore he knew it, allied for pure motives
with an absolutely impure and COR
rupt organization.
The result could not have been other
than disastrous to his name and fame.
Had he been elected with the regular
Tammany henchmen for his underlings
he would have been thwarted and
checkmated at every turn. He would
have found himself unable to carry
out the reforms whose need was SO
apparent. and also unable to explain
why these reforms were left unheed-
ed. he would have suffered the newt
able defilement that follows the touch
ing of pitch. and at the end of his term
would have left his Office broken in.

friends. From this he has been saved
by the happy chance Of defeat

err. when he once saw a malefactor be-
ing carried to execution, and but for
the providence that overrules CIR
courses, which this time took the form

ton. Edward NJ. Shepard would have
lived to repent with hopeless remorse
the day when he allied himself with
Tammany.
