THREE NEGROES ARRESTED.
Charge Against Them IL Taking
Charge of a POcketbOOk

John Richey, IA Aldrich street; Lawrence
Bowen, S27 Sahm street, and Charles Park
err, AS Arch street, all colored, were ar
rested last night by Patrolmen Shea and
Vaughn and locked up at the police sta
ton on a charge of grand larceny. 1t is
claimed that the men last night stole a
pocketbook containing over $50 and belong
ing to a man named Gaugher. The latter
rented buggy from Bowens livery barn
on ST. Clair street and went out for n short
drive. After he returned the rig TO the
stable and walked several blocks toward
his home he missed his pocketbook and was
convinced that he had dropped 1t in the bot
tom of the buggy He went back to the
livery barn and asked the negroes who took
charge Of the rig when he returned II il
they found the lost property They said
they had not. but their actions were so sus-
picious that he caused them to be placed
under arrest The men claim that they did
not find the pocketbook and nothing was
found in their pockets that would indicate
that they were guilty OF the theft But
the police think they stole the money and
hid 1t in the barn.

CARE OF PROPERTY INTERESTS.
One great drawback to tropical invest
ments in general is the lack of adequate
protection of property interests. OF course,
Porto Rico and Cuba are quite safe now
because the American flag is in the former
and the Platt amendment is a protective
measure in the latter And there is little
likelihood of trouble in Mexico. President
Diaz is always firm i'm the administration
of justice to foreign capitalists. his friend
ship for the American being especially
marked. Jamaica is also peaceful. but it is
an English possession, and it is very diff
cult for an American to get concessions
that are worth anything from the English
officials. When Ii comes to putting money
in the Spanish countries IL is a hazardous
undertaking.
l examined a lot of papers pertaining TO
some Of these claims, and was particularly
impressed with the outright robbery per-
petrated in one instance. An American
owned a good-sized plantation near the
boundary line of two provinces. One day
the officials swooped down upon him and
confiScated his entire property-land, build
ings, stores and all. He, of course, pro-
tested against the outrage and appealed TO
the proper authorities for redress. The rea-
son given for the confiscation was that the
boundary line had been changed, so that
his estate was in another province, to
which he owed taxes that had not been
paid. That the whole thing was merely a
scheme to rob him could be easily seen, for
the reason that no legal steps whatever had
been taken in the matter.
This unsettled condition of government
makes it an undesirable field for the in
