Washington, d. c., March Sl.-A
valuable source of labor for use in the
construction of the Panama canal has
been discovered in Porto Rico. ac-
cording 70 report made to the war
department by Captain B. X. Ashford,
assistant surgeon of the army, who

They are natives who have been
treated for the disease and are i'm

that ex-non- commissioned officers of
the Porto Rico regiment be employed
as section bosses, as they know we'll

DISPOSITION OF SOME
OPERA CELEBRATES

New York, March 3l-The Metro
politan opera season is drawing to a
close and director Conried is already
laying his plans for the next season.
The plans are gradually assuming
more definite shape and Mr.. Conried
viii have most of them mapped out
when he sails for Europe on April "a.
Il is already settled that Miss Edyth
Walker will return next year. Nine.
Schumanu- -Heink, the contraltO. has
signed a contract TO appear at the
Metropolitan in February, after her
concert tour. NOrdica and Eames
have NOT yet signed, but il is probable
that both will come to an agreement
with Mr.. COnried. An offer has been
made to Burgstaller to return next
season, but he has not yet signed (;
neither has Nine. Fremstad, who
wishes 70 sing soprano parts and Will
rather go abroad than stay here and
sing contralto parts.
Mr. COnried contempiates bringing
to this country some conductor, for
French opera, as il is not likely that
Nahan FTanko will conduct next year
Anton Fuchs. he Munich stage man
ager Will come TO the Metropolitan
next season, if # Is possible for him
to leave Munich. The productions
next year will include Wagner's "The
Flying Dutchmau" and "Rienzi" with
new scenery. Mr.. Conried also thinks
of producing Wagner's early work

SSSSS SSSSSSS

The above is the record of the ter
ritorial grand jury for the past few
days, and the jurymen went into ses-
sion again this afternoon, with the
prospect Of making a final report on
Monday held out to them by the dis
trict attorney as an inducement to
hurry. The visiting of the county
jail this afternoon is strong evidence
that there was nothing better than
that for the jury TO do, and testifes
that the close of work is close at
hand. OF the thirty-four indictments
returned the past three days, it Is
stated upon good authority that none
of them are on the Sunday closing
law and very few of them are for
persons living in the county.
It is difficult to say what this whole
sale indicting of people living out OF
the county is for, but it is intimated
that many of the cases belong to the
railroad and that many of the indict-
ed are persons working for the Santa
Fe, or who have committed offenses
against the Santa Fe.
No new cases were filed today, and
aside from the work being done by
the grand jury, the Second district
court has been practically idle.

WILL TRY TO SLIP
GENERAL WADE IN

New York, March 31.-There is
considerable talk in army ~rcles Of
the probable appointment of Major
General J. f. Wade, now on duty at
Governors Island, as commanding
general of the Atlantic division, to the
position of lieutenant general and
his retirement as such when General
Bates goes on the retired list next
month and before General Corbln is
appointed. General Wade is doing
nothing to that end, his friends say,
but he will probably feel that he has
failed TO receive due recognition of
long service if he goes on the retired
list as a major general. The service
is interested in the event, since It
gives the chance of promotion all
along the line and enables the ap-
pontment of another major general
and another brigader general, in
which case II Is likely that General ].
Franklin Bell will become a major
general before he assumes the duties
of chief Of staff.

INHERITANCE
RATE IS NOT
PANNING OUT
English Budget Had Es-
timated Income From
This Source
AT SOS, 900, FOR YEAR
Last Year Death Dues Ex.
Ceeded the Aggregate
of $S5,O0O, 600.

London, March 31.--The publication
of the official report on the receipts
of the state from inheritance taxes
during the year ending today, is
awaited with considerable interest.
The chancellor of the exchequer, in
his annual budget, estimated the rev.
enue from death duties during the
year ending March 81, 1906, at $685.,
100000. Up to the end of December
the amount actually collected from
that source was only $46,515,000, as
compared with $44,270,000 during the
corresponding period of the financial
year 1904-5.
The fact, however, that they had
to make up more than $4,000 900
during the last quarter of the fiscal,
year did not worry the treasury Off
cials much, as they knew that the
quarter ending March 81 is one of the
most prosperous for the wringing of
death duties from the pockets of the
rich. Statistics show that year after
year the average return for the quar-
ter ending March 81 is considerably
higher than any of the other three
quarters and the official would not be
at all surprised to see the final re-
turns from these duties exceed the
amount of last year, which was more
than SS5,500,000.
From January l to the end of
March influenza and pneumonia, to-
gether with the depression caused by
the weather are particularly fatal, and
it has been found that elderly rich
people succumb in greater numbers at
this period than at any other during
the year. The aggregate capital
charged with death duties in 1912
was about $1,444,35O,OOO, while in
1904-5 it was $1,325, 5,515,OOO. Twenty
six persons died during the last year
leaving willss bequeathing each more
than $750,000, Twenty-three of these
We're for amounts above a million
dollars, while five were above the
five million dollar mark. The estate
of Sir Robert Jardine paid death du-
ties on nine millions of dollars, while
Baron Gilmthorpe's estate was second
with nearly eight millions.

GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE
CHARGE OF THE MINES.

Chicago, March 31.-The Tribune's
Washington correspondent says: It
Is serious thing to say yet / be-
lieve | am justified in saying that il
the strike of the coal miners is per.
mitted to continue to the point where
the piled up stocks are practically
exhausted, the government of the
United States, either through the
president or congress, or both, will
take action in the interest of the peo-
pie, constitution or no constitution.
This Is the feeling among men or
dinarily conservative.
They do not believe that congress
or the president has the right to die
tate terms on which men shalt oper-
ate mines or miners shall work in
mines. They do believe, however,
and that opinion was expressed by a
hign official within the walls of the
White House ITSELF yesterday, that IL
any such crisis arises, the govern
ment will take possession of the mines
and operate them for the benefit of
the people, turning over the money
to the proper owners, but leaving the
miners and operators to agree among
themselves, if they can.

selected for the opening of the con-
ference, because it is the anniversary

nous European spiritualist. Nearly
one thousand delegates, representing

GUILT NOT DOUBTED
But NO INDICTMENTS

Cincinnati, O., March 3l.-The
grand jury, which had been investi-
eating payment of gratuities and in
terest TO county treasurers by banks
IN which public funds were deposited,
reported today. No indictments were
returned, the jury stating that the
banks were fully guilty with those
supplying the money, but as the
money was being recovered by the
proper officials, it was not the opinion
of the grand jury that it is eXpedient
TO bring nay indictments connected

SPOKE TO LARGE
AUDIENCE ON STREET

John w. Slayton, the forceful So
cialist speaker, addressed a large
crowd last night on the street corner
2t Second street and Railroad avenue.
Mr.. Slayton is one of the leading
spellbinders of the Socialist organ
ization. and his remarks last night,
although somewhat radical, from the
point of view of those not of the so
cialist faith, were listened to attentive
ly by those present. He eXpounds the
doctrines of socialism in a clear and
forceful manner. Mr.. Slayton will
speak again tonight, and tomorrow
night he will deliver what is conceded
to be his strongest effort. His
speeches. or lectures, are on the sub.
ject of Graft, It's Cause and Cure"

TWO IMPRESSIVE FACTS.

Two facts impress themselves upon
the minds of those who are in close
contact with the prohibition move
ment, especially in the case of those
who have been charged with the re-
sponsibilities of leadership.
Helpers are Coming.
We allude, First, to the steady and
almost rapid increase in the number
measure or the whole of their time to
our work. The phases Of the work to
which they consecrate themselves are
as varied as their talents. Some take
the platform to talk or sing. Some
are natural mOney-raisers and render
valuable service in this direction.
Some possess organizing ability and
are enjoying great success in build
ing the party's fences. The strong
hold of some is personal conversation
with voters with a view to winning
their support for our ticket. Some
are great advertisers of our cOnven-
lions and rallies. Some shine in get
ting up attractive programs with local
talent or arranging winning features
of rally addressed by state or ma
tional speaker. Some get wide and
most pleasing hearing for the most
radical truths by means Of W. G. T.
u. or Demorest contests in oratory.
Some know how to arrange for sue
cessful social gatherings with short
but helpful program and some see to
it that there is Prohibition picnic
annually in their community or coun-
ty. Best of all, men, women and
