Propriety In Dress.

The general opposition to the new
criminal codes has been greatly aug
mented by the idea which prevails in
certain circles that the law makes 1t crl-
! minal for a man to be seen on the
Pstreets without a coat, or with garments
dirty or torn.
The police have in several instances
made arrested workingmen found
about wi .hout shirts on, and with their
clothing greasy and soiled. Several Of
the Justices of the Peace in the island
seem also to be of the opinion that a
man is required to wear a certain
amount of clothing, or else be guilty OF
indecent exposure.
Nothing can be as far wrong as this
Interpretation of the law. The Codes
say absolutely nothing about what a
man should be compelled to wear i'll
order to be free of a charge of indecent
exposure Clothing of a certain weight
or quantity is not prescribed or requlr-
ed.
ANY person who indecently exposes
his or her person with immoral or las
civious intent, may be arrested for in
decent exposure. The law is most po-
sitive on this subject and when the
exposure of any por ion Of the human
body is made for the purpose of Scan
dalizing or demoralizing the communi-
ty, the person committing such an act
is guilty of indecent exposure under
khe criminal statutes of the island.
i But to maintain that a worklngman
is vi !ating the Ia sim .}ly because he
reno res his coat to make himself more
furtable while at work, is to main
tam that one should not have to work
a all If anyone finds it more comfor

ed that poverty is a great inconvenience
but ii has never yet been held to be

Terrific Eruption
Morne Rouge, Carbet, Bouillon
And Riviere Destroyed.
About Ore Thousand Lives Lost.
The Horrors Of May8
Are Again Repe ated.
Special cablegram to Boletln Mereantil

y
New York, September 3rd From
st Thomas comes the news of another
eruption of Mt. Pelee, which has des.
troyed the towns Of Morne Rouge, Car
BET, Bouillon and Riviere. More than
one thousand lives have been lost in
the towns named, and, all property has
been totally destroyed Every trace
of, life which existed as far south as
the three Carbets has now been wiped
out and the disaster is brought
nearer to Fort de France than it ever
has been before.
The thousand or more farmers and their
families which left these villages during
thefirst few weeks in May and who
took refuge at Fort de France had been
induced by the government to return to
their bones, assured that there was
absolutely no danger Of further trouble
from the volcano. All Of these people
perished between Saturday last and
yesterday. Not a sign of life can be
found at any of the places named.
z uo miles north of Fort de France
the government has established dead
lnc, and no one is permitted to go
north of it. In Fort de France the
same scenes are witnessed which took
place several months ago Homes are
deserted, and people are living IN the
streets ID constant fear of the same fate
which overlook their neighbors

NOT AMBITIOUS TO SUCCEED
JUDGE SHIRAS.
His Interest in the Antitrust Ca
ses Now Before the Supreme
Court-Judge j. Hay Brown Of
Pennsylvania Spoken Of.

| Washington, Aug. 23rd.-The semi
official announcement that Justice Shiras
will retire from the Supreme Court
early next year has started anew the
gossip about Attorney General Knox
as a probable successor to him. The
intimate friends Of the attorney general
do not take much stock in this gossip
as they do not believe that Mr. Knox
would care to retire from the active
practice of his profession in the prime
fof life even to accept such a position of
honor and dignity as that on the supreme
bench. These intimate associates of
the attorney general say that he has no
desire to retire and give up the heroic
battle of his professional career. He
lis only fifty years old and in prime
physical condition. He has made a
reputation as one OF the great lawyers
in this country and he expects to add
to that reputation during his official
career as head of the Department of
Justice. He has entered upon great
contest regarding the control Of trusts
and he would not retire from that con-
test until the Northern merger case is
fully decided for any honor or emolu-
ment. He believes implicitly in the
correctness of his position regarding the
trusts and SO does President Roosevelt.
They have entered upon this fight and
expect to carry it to its conclusion until
the Supreme Court of the United States
decides the question as to the control of
the government regarding such COM
binations of capital.
Mr. Knox is not a new convert TO the
position that he now occupies. He be-
lieved in the power of the government
to control such combinations of capital
by the enforcement of the Sherman
antitrust law before he was appointed
attorney general. He was ready to
initiate his official career with suit of
this character. but President Mckinley
was extremely conservative and hesitat
ed to adopt any policy which might
retard the development of the prosperity
begun under his administration When
the Northern merger was completed BY
Mr. Morgan and James Hill the
attorney general at once informed |
President Roosevelt that In his opinion
It was in defiance Of the Sherman lawj
and he advised taking the question into
he federal courts. After a full con-
ference the President agreed with Mrl
Knox and authorized him to begin the
suit. That question has not been
delayed by the Department of Justice.
The defendants were allowed ninety

According to reports received this
morning from Capt. of Insular Police
Molina, there has been more political
trouble of serious nature at Cayey.
The police authorities received from
Capt. Molina the following letter dated
September 2 "At this moment, II
o'clock, at night the following men have
been arrested, Hemenegildo Ginorio,
Pedro Vidal, Celestino Morero, Vicente
Morero, Leon Vega, Gregorio Rivera,
Saturnino Toledo, Adolfo Camacho, be-
cause being in the house Of the third
named they commenced to fire against a
group of men that were passing by. Two
men were wounded. The men that
did the firing from the house did not
obey the order Of the police and when
I went to approach the house they clos
ed the doors and put the revolvers
away. ] entered the house and found
six revolvers, three daggers, machete
and two pair of brass knuckles and a
great amount of cartriges, some fired
and some lnfired l will send further
details to morrow.
Capt Molina also gives account OF
his Illustration of plot to attack ex-
Judge Ramos of the San Juan District
Court. Information was brought to
him that the attack was to be made at
place called Las Cruces, which Judge
Ramos was soon to pass in coach.
Capt Molina Immediately went TO the
place and found there Pedro Rivera
and Jesus MufIoz, who claimed they
had come fronrCaguas Judge Ramos
did not appear having been warned in
time, it seems, of the proposed attack.
There is great uneasiness in the
town, and the general belief is that
more trouble will occur there.

complaints preferred by the United
States and the defendants took advan-
tage of the full time granted them.
| The case is now set for hearing the
first week in September, and while
Attorney y-Genera1 Knox does not expect
to 60 to ST. Paul to participate in the
arguments he will watch the develop
ments and be in constant communication
with Solicitor-G General Richards, who
will assist the district attorney at St
Paul, and when the case comes to the
Supreme Court the attorney general
will be ready to conduct the argument
himself.
Mr.. Knox according to his closest
friends believes thats this is to be one
of the greatest cases ever brought be.
fore the Supreme Court. and he is an
xious to be closely identified with it to
the finish because he is convinced that
it will decide for all time the great
question of the constitutional power of
congress to control such combinations
of capital. He believes that he can be

nistration and to the country at large
by carrying forward this case and that
relating to the beef trust than he could

bench where he would be only one of
nine members 10 cast his vote on these
great questions. He has great confd.
ence in his power to present such cases
as to win "a Judgment for the govern.
ment aud he has no ambition to OCCUPY
any other ofi,e than the one he now
fills with so much credit.
Mr.. Knox is a lawyer by natural
adaptability as we'll as by training. He
enjoys the contests of his profession
and expects to continue a lawyer for
some years TO come. 1t is not general
ly known that he was President Roos
evelt's first choice for Secretary of the
treasury when it was determined that
secretary Gage should retire. The pos
ition was rendered to Attornew Gen
eral Knox because it was regarded as
the second highest position in the ca
binet and President Roosevelt wished
to express his confidence in his attor-
ney general But Mr.. Knox promptly
uCCllIlCu W COlIStOCI- d transfer IIOn
the Department of Justice as he desir
ed to coutinue in the practice of law
and said that while he was willing tc
remain as attorney for the government
he would retire from the cabinet and
resume the practice of law rather than
take any other official position. That
is said to be the attitude of the attor.
ney general to day and that he would
promptly decline the tender of an ap.
! pointment to the supreme bench. Pre-.
sident Roosevelt is acquainted with Mr..
Knox's desires and has no wish to loose
his counsels as a member of the ca
binet while he is engaged in this pro-
secution of the trusts with the determi-
nation to carry out his declared policy
of enforcing the Sherman law. 1t is
therefore improbable that Mr.. Knox
will be selected as the successor to JUS:
tice Shiras and appointment rendered
him even with the expectation of hon.
oring him.

Special Cablegram to Boletin Mercantil.

New York, September rd-Advices
received from Berlin state that Kaiser
Wilhelm has changed the base of the
military manouvers to Posen, the place
which was originally selected for that
purpose, but which was later ordered
changed, owing to the hostile attitude
of the Poles.
For many months past there has
been considerable nti-German activity
in Poland, and when it was first made
public that the Kaiser intended to
conduct the manouvers from Posen, the
Poles made no secret of their intention
to attack the Kaiser, if opportunity
presented itself.
This resulted in the change from
Posen to Leignitz.
