70 BAR PRISON MADE GOODS
The House Votes to Permit the
States to Exclude Them.
UnSer Present lnteFtate Commerce
Law Articles Made By COnViotS
May ne SOLD Anywhere.

Washington, Dec. 8.--By a prac-
tically unanimous vote the house FRI
day passed the bill limiting the regu'
lation Of Interstate commerce between
the several states in articles manu-
factured by convict labor or In any
prison or reformatory. The bill was
introduced By Mr.. Hunt OF Missouri,
practical stone mason. Under the
Wilson bill, which became a law in
1890, convict labor-made goods may
enter into active competition with the
goods manufactured by free labor
and under this federal law a state
could not pass law that would pre-
vent the shipping into the state OF
prison.made goods Of other states.
The law which was passed Friday abb
rogates the interstate commerce law
as at present applied to coRvlctmade
goods thereby affording to the differ
emit states and territories the right
to inhibit the shipping Of convict
made goods within the confines OF any
state or territory.
Mr.. Hunt asked for It's passage not
only In the interest Of free labor. but
In the interest of the manufacturers.
He said It was an attempt to curb the
criminal competition OF the penitenti-
airy with the free labor Of the coun.
try.
1T is cruel" he said, ITO ask the
free labor Of this country to maintain
Its citizenship, its dignity and It's self
respect, If 1t has to wait until the
product of the state prison is sold bel
fore the employer can get reasonable
price for his honestly manufactured
product"

SPECIAL MESSAGE
President Roosevelt States Hi
Views to Congress Regard
ing Porto Rice.
RECOMMENDS CITIZENSHIP
Ne says the Islanders Are Loyal
and Making Rapid Progress In
Self Government and De-
serve Encouragement.

I
Washington, Dec. 12.-Presiaent
Roosevelt sent q special message to
congress Tuesday, regarding Porto
Rican affairs, telling Of his recent
viait to the island and recon. lend
ing that full American citizenship Do
accorded Porto Ricans. The I'es-
sage in part Is as follows:
To the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives:
On November 81 visited the Is
land of Porto Rico, landing It Ponce.
crossing BY the old Spanish road BY
Cayey to San Juan, and returning
next morning over the new Ameri-
can road from Arecibo to Ponce; the
scenery was wonderfully beautiful.
especially among the mountains Of
the interior, which constitute a VERT
able Switzerland. could not en-
bark at San Juan because the harbor
has not been dredged out and can
not receive an American battle ship.
l do not think this fact creditable to
a nation, and earnestly hope that
immediate provision will be made for
dredging San Juan harbor.
There Is a matter to which I wish
to call your attention, and that is the
desirability Of comforting full Amer
lean citizenship upon the people Of
Porto Rico. most earnestly hope
that this will be done. / can not
see how any harm can possibly re-
suit from 1t, and It seems to me
matter of right and justice to the PEG
pie Of Porto Rico. They are loyal,
they are glad to be under our flag,
they are making rapid progress along
the path Of orderly liberty. Surely
we should show our appreciation of
them, our pride in what they have
done, and our pleasure in extending
recognition for what has thus been
done. by granting them full Ameri-
can citizenship.
Under the wise administration Of
the present governor and council,
marked progress has been made In
the difficult matter OF granting to
the people of the island the largest
measure Of selfgovernment that can
with safety be given at the present
time. 1t would have been a very
serious mistake to have gone any
faster than we have already gone in
this direction. The Porto Ricans
have complete and absolute auton-
ony in all their municipal govern
ments. the only power over them
possessed by the insular government
being that of removing corrupt or in
competent municipals. 1t Is not a
power with which 1t would be safe.
for the sake Of the island itself to dis
pense at present The lower house
IL absolutely elective, while the up
per house is appointive. This scheme
10 working well; no injustice of any
hind results from 1t, and great bene-
fit to the island, and 1t should GER
tainly not be changed at this time.
The machinery Of the elections is ad-
ministered entierely by the Porto
Rican people themselves, the gov
ernor and council keeping only such
supervision as is necessary in order
10 insure an orderly election. ANY
protest as to electoral frauds ia set
tied in the courts. Here again 1t
would not be safe to make any
change In the present system.

"THE MAN FROM MEXICO"
TO RUN A SECOND WEEK

George B. Howard OF the Howard
Hamilton stock company has made
such a hit in Willie Golfers character
Of Benjamin Fitzhew in 1.-The Man
From Mexico and so many people
were unable to secure seats last week
to see Mr. Howard in this, his funniest
role, that Manager Hamilton wisely
concluded to continue the popular farce
one more week, beginning tonight. The
role of Fitzhew just suits Howard, and
his droll and original methods of
handling the part have melted en-
thusiastic audiences to uproarious
laughter every night. The box office re-
turns indicate that he has struck the
popular fancy with this play. The
farce that was billed for the coming
week, "A Crazy Tea" will be post
poned one week, when Miss Betty
Jonson, the popular and pretty little
ingenue, will make her first appearance
with the Howard Hamilton players

WILL THEY TIRE OF TURKEY?
BeIasco Players Must Eat One Every
Night and Matinee This
waak

The Beasco players, who will pre-
sent "Shore Acres this week, will eat
whole turkey every night and an ex-
ira one every matinee. This means
nine whole turkeys this week and the
whole nine have been ordered and de-
livered. They will be cooked by the
Van Nuys kitchen and will be served
with cranberry sauce and all the other
'fixins" that go to make the great
American bird the most toothsome
delicacy that this land can offer.
But when the week is done these Be-
lasco players will be zoo sick to look
q turkey In the face.
The action of "Shore Acres" re-
quires that a turkey bird be consumed
at least once during each performance
1t cannot be a mere prop bird, made
of papier mache and gutta percha, be-
cause it must be Internationally de-
voured. Nor can 1t be merely nibbled,
as are most stage feasts: 1t must be
picked clean. Hence, the Belasco play
ers are starving themselves these days
and getting ready for a thirty quais
in thirty days. stunt on a smaller
scale.
g. ''They have all demanded hard cider
in addition, to lend the proper air of
reality to New England festival"
said Manager Blackwood last night,
but l draw the line on that. 1 ex-
pect to have a lot of spoiled Thanks
givings in this company before the
week is over however" he added,
grimly.
