COCK FIGHTING Is ILLEGAL.
(By Associated Press.)

San Juan, Porto Rico, May 14,-Attor-
ney General Harlan has decided that
cock fighting is illegal, so about the only
amusement of the Porto Ricans is to be
taken from them.
In May, 1899, a general order was is-
sued which officially approved the regu-
lations of the local society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals. One Of
these regulations prohibited cock fight
ing, but the order was never enforced.
The matter was brought up few
weeks ago ON &C cOunt of the usual
spring fiestas in the country towns.
where cock fighting is the chief attrac-
ton. attorney general was asked to
decide whether the general order of the
military authirities was still law. He
held that it must be considered as a
general police regulation, to be enforced
as are other laws.
The penalty provided is heavy. Own
ers of buildings where cock fights are
held are liable to $50 fine. Spectators
are liable to 50 fine and those who
manage the affairs to a SIS fine. Those
arrested a second time for the same Of
tense are liable to a double fine.
Sports are entirely lacking in Porto
Rico. The small boys are just begin
ming to know about baseball and in a
few years that game may become popu-
lar, but to deny the people of the coun-
try cock fighting, is to take from them
their principal recreation.
Chief of Police Fechter said yesterday
that he was in favor of cock fighting
and did not intend to hunt for cockpits.
Any pit against which a complaint
might be made would be raided he said.
but no wholesale arrests would follow.
The chief evidently goes on the princi-
pie that a custom OF 800 years standing
cannot be- uprootLd III u day.

Washington, May 14.-The war depart
ment is exhausting every resource to
make the Philippines tariff most bene-
fetal to the United States, trade. With
this end in view, Secretary Root has
placed the proposed tariff before APP
praser Wakeman and his experts in this
city, who are to give it the final touches

PRONUNCIATION, unless the supreme court
In it's decision on the insular question,
renders all that has been done super
fluOus.
The opinion of the court is expected
within two weeks.
Last August Colonel Clarence Edwards,
in charge of the insular division of the
war department. assembled a board of
army officers who had been in control of
customs and revenue matters, to for
mulate a tariff which would be more
advantageous to many important Amer
lean interests than the law already in
operation. This work was submitted to
the leading commercial interests in the
islands, public hearings were given by
the civil and military reviewing officials
and freedom of discussion was en-
Outraged.
Pleased With the Changes.
After the interests of the islands were
thus ascertained, the schedules We're
published widely in this country and
criticism and advice were solicited from
American exporters and producers
There has been a general response to
this invitation and number of changes
have been suggested, but the great ma
j rty of the comment has been of a
character expressing satisfaction with
the new rates.
The whole matter, is is now said, is
in such shape that the new tariff. il
there is to be any, can be promulgated
by June l, to go into effect two months
later. 1t is expected to produce annu-
ally about $15,000,0O0 after the first year.
although for short period, with con-
dtions now existing in the islands, it
may not raise more than half that
amount.

Osborn and another man were occupying
cabin with Airport at Basin, Airport
had requested him (Osborn) to draw the
will, as he desired to leave all of his
possessions to Caroline Kelly, his sister,
who was then a resident of Denver.
Osborn's letter further stated that

instructions to stop in Denver and de-

had not been obeyed and he had carried

of James A. Talbot he thought Mr.. Ia

all right and turned over to Mrs. Kelly,
