Dubois and the members Of the Lamson
family, died at 3o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, Feb g. at his home just north of the
city Of Kenton. Ohio.
He had been in poor health for a number
OF years and for the last two years had
been confined to the house most OF the
time, for the last six months being bed
fast. He suffered great deal, but patient
ly, and for several days before his deaf b
his rapid decline caused his family and
friends TO expect soon the last great
change. Had he lived until June he would
have been so years old.

with them until 1915, when he went to
keytsyille, Mo-, and with his brother,
Franklin, and the late Royal t. Dubois,
established the mercantile business OF L.

up to the growth and progress OF the town

Men, women snd little children
have fallen into a lethargy which if
lie, is life which touches hands with
the cold fingers of death.
The great pessimists Cork and
Dostoyuski have never drawn picture
that approaches the actual conditions
seen in our Island by Mr Gompers.
And he perhaps appalled, at the faith
ful copy he has drawn, perhaps hor-
rri6ed by the pitifulness of it all, has
felt a sense of compassion for his
auditors as he drew aside the curtain
for the people of the United States to
see, 4 sense of infinite pity for the
thousands who crowded to hear him
in Washington, with their eyes opened
wide and their minds Saddened by the
pathetic account he gave of Porto
Rico.
And it was not exaggerated in the
slightest. but on the contrary the
picture was so strongly drawn and so
sharply outlined that its effect is still
felt behind what is said or done or
planned in relation to Porto Rico.
The report Of the Grand Jury is
document inspired by body Of cit
liens, and which in it's very application
to the means which should be adopted
to avert the impending crisis, reflects
the verdict of Mr.. Gompers' observa-
tions. Protection is needed for our
coffee. If SO it must be because it is
abandoned, and coffee is our principal
natural resource. A loan is urged for
the benefit of our planters. What a
sorrowful request! They also ask that
public works be undertaken IN which
can be given to our idle
workmen; and this shows that there
are many workmen idle and without
means of earning living.
The platforms of the political par
ties speak of the crisis, they urge i'm
protection for our agricultural
interest; they also mention a loan; but
behind these vague CONGRATULATIONS
forever looms up the grim spectre of
misery and W Mt which sralks through
our fields and meadows, and depreS-
ses the strongest hearted and crushes
utterly the weak and helpless.
For if it is necessary to borrow
money on credit, it must be because
we haven't any ourselves: if we ask
for work, it must be because there is
none now at hand; if the request for
protection is now denied us, it is
because justice has been withheld from
US and we have not been installed in
our rights.
The picture drawn by Mr.. Gompers
is forever before us, uneraseable,
fixed and terrifying; its effect is felt
in the policies of the political organic
alton, in the speeches of upright
officials who dare to speak
the truth. in the newspapers, on every
hand. How can it be erased?
Gompers maintains that Porto Rico
should be given complete autor my.
1t is the read which leads away from
he condition Of things which gave
birth to the actual depression Al d
these questions can be treated in but
one way; like the Grand Jury has
done-like Mr.. Gompers has done.
Urge radical reforms; and these re
forms We venture to say will be found
only within the program we have
outlined so often. and which is now
bv those who demand eff
ectuAl protection, or as Mr.. Gonpars
las it, complete autonomy for the
colony.
These are the two horns of the
7ilemma.

CARPENTER INJURED IN
COLLAPSE OF BUILDING
Similar Mishap Occurred on An
other Structure, but No One
Was Hurt.

The partial collapse of two buildings and
the serious injury of one man, accompanied
by the narrow escape of fifteen others, was
the record of an exciting afternoon In
building circles made yesterday.
While carpenters working on a small
building, in the course of erection at 6l3
Russell avenue, were preparing to strength
en- the roof by adding extra collar beams
to the rafters, it collapsed, throwing JOS
eph Hach, of 315 Sanders street, high IN the
air. as the portion upon which he was
standing slipped to the ground. Hach
alighted on his left side, sustaining injuries
to his head and severe bruises all over the
body. The City Dispensary ambulance was
called and the injured man taken to his
home.
But for a fortunate circumstances, the
collapse of the inner wall in the new Turner
fat building, under construction at 13y
North Delaware street, would have been
a far more serious affair. The collapse
came at 12:45, just fifteen minutes before
the fifteen men employed at the point
where the wall fell, returned to work.
This wall was supported by three slX-lnc1
steel columns, and these were snapped Oh
as though they were straws. 1t is SAID
that vein OF quicksand is directly under
| the brick piers which supported these col
umns and that the piers began to settle, re.
suIting in the collapse No less than l25OV
| pounds of bricks fell with the wall.
| The damage to both buildings was esti
| mated at 50 800.
