IGLESIAS TO BE ACQUITTED.
Prosecuting Attorney at San Juan
Gives Up Case

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico. April lO.-The
supreme court of Porto Rico yesterday
heard the appeal of Santiago Iglesias, pres
ident of the Federation of Workmen OF
Porto Rico, who was sentenced December
u last to three years, four months and
eight days Imprisonment on the charge OF
conspiring to raise the price of labor in
Porto Rico. Decision was reserved untn
Saturday. He will undoubtedly be acquit-
ted. Counsel for Iglesias dwelt on the con-
stitutional rights of people to assemble
peaceably. The public prosecutor to the
surprise of the throng in the court room,
sustained and strengthened the argument
of the defense. He said the appeal was
well taken, put III no evidence for the
prosecution and practically asked the court
to dismiss the case.
Attorney General Harlan yesterday before
the trial sent long letter TO the public
prosecutor expressing his views. lie said ::
Il understand the court attached criminal
nection with subsequent acts of violence
in meeting at which nothing was done
further than TO resolve to make a demand
for higher wages. The records only show
in explanation Of the sentence of three
years, four months and eight days that
Iglesias is, or that he was, the founder OF
a society adjudged Illegal"
The Judgment Of the district court At
torney General Harlan also said, has the
character, in its effective result, of the
abridgment of personal liberty. The right
TO assemble peaceably to better the social
condition is surely fundamental. If any
Spanish law in Porto Rico impairs this
right 1t has become nullity with the
change of sovereignty In my judgment"

SUMMERVILLE. s c., April 1O.-The
tumultOus cheering and enthusiasm, the
pressing. eager crowds are missing today,
and in this little town, among the tall pines
of Carolina, President and Mrs. Roosevelt
are having a day of rest. No speech
making. no rushing from place to place. the
day has been spent much as suited the in
clination of each member of the presidential
party.
The South Carolina tea plantation has
been the chief point of interest.
The President slept late this morning and
after breakfast gave reception to the few
people at the Pine Forest Inn. which is not
IN the main part of the city. The party
left Summerville at = o'clock this afternoon
for Washington. At the depot was gath
cred crowd of people. mostly country
men. from this and neighboring counties.
The President has been accompanied wher-
ever ne has gone by a detachment of ma
rlues. commanded by Captain Henry Leon
ard Of Washington. They kept beside the
Presidents carriage everywhere, while Sc
cret service men hover near by.
Impressed by Gov. Aycock.
No man the President has met on this
trip has impressed him more strongly than
Governor AycOck of North Carolina His
speech yesterday afternoon was applauded
frequently by the President, who congrat-
UIated him most heartily at it's conclusion.
The President predicts a distinguished ca
reer for Governor AycOck.
Praises of President Roosevelt are still
sounding on every side and there were some
people who are bold enough to predict
strong political possibilities in South Caro-
lima as the outcome of the visit here. This
is not regarded probable by those who
know the situation. The state, | am told
by the best authority, is set in its political
ways for some years to come. Senator Nc
Laurin Will stir things here more thorough
ly than some suppose but he will have a
herculean task to perform if he succeeds
In overturning existing conditions. His ad-
mirers say he can do it and are most en-
thusiastic. The other fellows say he has no
show. w. w. P.
