PORTO RICANS SEEKING
AMERICAN EDUCATION

summer normal school session of ten
weeks would be held in this city. be-
ginning July Is. About so teachers and
prospective teachers signified their inten-
ton to attend this summer school, It's
function is not to teach, but to train 9TH
ers to teach. and faculty has been Sc
lec.ed with great care to carry out this
idea.
The fact that such a number should
attend these courses of instruction is a
most remarkable and practical demon
stration of the utility and value of the
system of education that is being estab-
lished in this island. 1t also indicates
that the people at large appreciate the
value of the new educational system,
which is being carried out under the di-
tection Of Commissioner Brumbaugh.
By the time for the autumn term to
open more than thirty new school houses
will have been comrle led. But even then
there will not be accommodations for
half the children of school age. Extra
buildings in all towns will have to be
rented, as it is quite probable the school
attendance next year will be doubled.

New York, July 22.-Many Of the Jap
anese living in this city have been
alarmed by the action recently taken by
the labor unions of San Francisco, which
ask that the Japanese be excluded as
the Chinese are under the Greary act.
The San Francisco labor unions are
said to be preparing petition to con-
sress. The Japanese here are consider
ing the wisdom Of organizing to fght the
plan and may start a counter petition.
The attention of Y. Ohoki, who is in
charge of the Japanese consulate. has
been called to the matter. Referring to
the San Francisco resolutions, he says:
"They want much, these workingmen.
that they will not get. Your congress
will not pass such a law. am sure of it..
Congressmen and senators who would
vote to keep the Chinese out of the
United States would decide against law
that included Japanese. Our govern
ment would surely resent such a discrim-
ination and would pass laws in retalia-
tion which would hurt the trade of the
United States in the east.
Japan does not want to send laborers
to the United States, or any other coun-
try. They are needed at home to build
roads and dnches and battleships and
to serve in the army. 1t is hard for one
Of the coolie class to leave Japan now.
owing to laws which the government has
passed to keep them at home. These
laws will be made even more strict in
the future. l believe.
There are not many Japanese labor
ers in the United States today. Many Of
those who are considered laborers are
really students who have to work their
way while learning to do things after the
American fashion. They stay here a few
years and then go back home. In this
the Japanese differ from the Chinese -

CRBSCEJjS MAKES A RECORD
Defeats The Abbot in Fastest Heat
Ever IrOtted in a Race.
His Rival Broke Soon After Starting
in Second Heat and Was Distanced
-The Winner Proves Himself Tn
deniably King of the Trotting Turf

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Cresceus is still
king of the trotting turf. In a race of
short and decisive nature, yet q spec
tacle magnificent and thrilling, G.. H
Ketcham's great stallion conquered John
j. Scannelis crack gelding, The Abbot,
at Brighton Beach track this afternoon.
Added to the signal triumph was the fact
that Cresceus won the first heat in 2:03i4,
the fastest time on record for a race. and
also took the second heat in 2;06i4, Incl
dontally distancing The Abbot, who broke
badly after he had gone 100 yards.
AS the race Itself ended then under the
rules, Cresceus was sent against time in
a third dash around the oval, paced by
a running horse. and covered the distance
in POS.
While it could not be said that Cresceus
technically broke the record of three
heats, it was nevertheless true that he
established new figures for three consec-
utive miles and also created a world $
record for two heats. The best previous
time for two heats was 2:oG4 and 2:O5.
made by Cresceus at Detroit, while he
still holds the record for three heats,
2:G7ik. 2O6, and 2:06, created at Columbus
last year.
The stations performance today was
of sufficient merit to convince turfmen
that he has no peer in the world. The
Brighton Beach track never saw such
crowd No running race ever drew so
many spectators. Thirty thousand men
and women filled the big stand and
crowded the lawn until it was impossible
to move.
The race was for the best three out of
five heats for purse of $4,000 and the
championship of the trotting world, The
Abbott fighting to regain his former po-
sition of champion and Cresceus striving
to retain his laurels.
All fear as TO the weather vanished
when the sun burst through the clouds
overhead at noon and though It was a
bit hazy at times there seemed little
chance of rain. The track was in prime
conditions
on his record, Cresceus was of course,
the favorita, but The Abbot did not suffer
from any lack of enthusiastic admirers.
One interesting point advanced by par
tisans of The Abbott was the fact that in
all his accommodating trials Cresceus has
been paced by n running horse which
tested his mettle and aroused his Eght-
ing spirit. while today he had to make
his own pace.
Cresceus appeared on the track at 80
o'clock and received an ovation. He
trotted quietly by the judges stand be-
tween the first and second heats OF the
first race and the moment ne was luenu-
fed the crowd applauced heartily. Two
minutes afterward The Abbott came out
and btdiam broke loose. The crowd yell
ed itself hoarse, and there was no mis-
taking the place which the geldlng leld IN
the affections of the enthusiasts present.
The distinctive methods of the two horses
were apparent Cresceus plodded along
carelessly, while The Abbott was all vim
and fire and quick and snappy in his &C
ton.
