GOV. ALIENS REPORT.
An interesting and Readable Cocu.
ment on Porto Rico.

Washington, May 21.-Gov. Charles
H. Allen of Porto Rico has presented
to the president, through the state de-
partment, his annual first report. He
calls attention to the fact that while
in such close proximity 10 the United
States, Porto Rico has been a compar.
Rtively unknown island to Americans.
L feel as the result of years close
study on the spot of all the conditions
surrounding this problem" says Gov.
Allen, that congress went quite as
far as it could safely venture in the
form of government already existing
on the island, and as the result of such
experience and observation, fully be
lie*e, with good men devoted to the
work, the Island will develop faster
under such form, its people through
experience and education will advance
more rapidly in their knowledge of
civic virtues under a guidance of pres.
ent methods than could be gained in
any other way"
The governor speaks plainly in pre-.
senting the reason why this island has
been at practical stands,lll for near.
ly 400 years and says that in a climate
where a man can lie in a hammock,
pick a banana with one hand and dig
a sweet potato with one foot the in
centive to idleness is easy to yield to
and brings it's inevitable conse-
quences."
In conclusion, Gov. Allen urged the
introduction of fresh blood and Anglo
Saxon push and energy as the means
of lifting the little island out of its
lethargy, and by thrift and industry
develop it's riches TO their full meas
ure.

THE coRoNER's VERDICT.
Mrs. Bonnie Held for the Killing Of

Washington, May 22.-The coioner's

murder of James S. Ayres, the young
census Office clerk, at the Hotel Ken
more last Wednesday MOI ming,

he chest. Furthermore, that said shot
Cas fired during a fatal conflict be-
Ween said James Seymour Ayres and
Lola Ida Henri BONNIE. We, the cor
oner's jury, hold Lola Ida Henri b.
Rine for the grand jury"
Before the jury rendered the verdict
number of witnesses were heard. An
effort was made to show that Miss
tiinas could easily have heard voices
through the door connecting her room
with that of Ayres, and that lights
could have been seen through the
tracks. Detectives Horne and Wee
don testified to this effect, but Miss
Mfnas declared that she saw no lights
On the night Of the shooting. She also
testified that the cries she heard com.
Ing from Ayres's room were made by
mans voice, and not by woman's.
Ehe was positive that the voice was
rot that of Mrs. Bonnie. This contra
diets Mrs, Bonine, who, in her confes.
sion Monday said that she had uttered
the only vocal sounds made in the
room at the time of the tragedy.
After the coroner's jury had rem
dered the verdict Mrs. BONNIE was re
moved to the city Jail.
