THE HATLESS MAN
baltimore Amerlcan.)

DR.. Thomas L. Shearer, OF 500
North Charles street, one Of the most
prominent physicians in Baltimore,
has decided to go hatless the rest OF
his life, and he will try to persuade
the rest of mankind to do likewise.
He announced to a reporter Tor the
American yesterday afternoon that he
was preparing, and would give out In
a short time, a treatise showing how,
from a scientific standpoint, his fell
low-beings will be healthy and happy
If they will do as he advises. Judging
from the outlook, DR.. Shearer's hat
less brigade bid fair to assume very
respectable proportions.
The principle benefits to result from
going without any hat will be that the
next generation will see very few bald
headed men, and one Of the great In
stitutions at the theatre-the bald
headed row-will be a thing OF the
past. Then again DR.. Shearer thinks
that. with the free play of the air over
the head, persons will be less liable
to any scalp disease and very proba-
bly, will have no disease of the scalp
at all. The great cry for fresh air is
at the bottom of DIR. Shearer's crus-
ade against the hat. He Is OF the
opinion that not only 1t is Just as
necessary to let it play all about the
head. thus insuring healthy scalp
and heavy, lively, vigorous hirsuit.
For some time past DR.. Shearer's
intimate friends have been aware OF
his opposition to the practice OF wear
ing hats, and he has been appearing
hatless on the streets, at the theatre,
on all his outings, and, in fact, every
where They have said little about It.,
except in the particular social circles
in which the physician moves and they
have watched him very carefully, ex-
pecting every day to hear that he had
been taken Ill with pneumonia or some
other ailment usually brought about
by undue exposure.
In fact, some Of his friends have
feared that a galloping consumption
would set in and take the doctor to
his ancestors long before his time;
but, instead Of losing his health, DR..
Shearer has been growing more robust
and ruddier every day; until by this
time many of his intimates have be-
come convinced that they, too, would
be better off If they could discard their
tiles, debris, fedoras and caps; but
they have not yet been able to get
up the necessary amount of nerve to
do so.

ALL SORTS

While British statesmen are delud
themselves with the notion that the
leading countries are ripe for the &C
ceptance of a scheme of limitation
of ornaments the Japanese are quiet
ly but persistenly preparing to in
crease their ornaments both on land
and sea. Despite their comparatively
easy victory over Russia the japanese
are not nursing decisions as to the
impregnability of their position. They
know perfectly we'll that sooner OF
later Russia will try again to assert
her pretensions in the Far East and
that the next time there will be
stronger probability that she vii
have some allies among the Western
powers. Japan cannot, therefore, b.
expected to sympathize with disarma
ment proposals.

SPECIAL PET
oETHE UNITED STATES rs PORTO
AGO. PoUTINe ISLANDERS
ARE TOLD BY TAFT.
ApDlieants For Citizenship Learn They
Have All the Privileges of Other
Americans.

PONCE. Porto Rico. April 17.-Sec-
retary Taft and his party, Governor
Winthrop and the insular officials ac-
companying them, arrived here yster-
dav afternoon. A banquet in honor OF
the Secretary was given by the city
last night.
Hermino Diaz, member Of the Ex-
ecutiye Council, acted as POSTMASTER
and made a long speech in which ne
introduced Secretary Taft. He made
a strong plea for citizenship and ex-
messed the hope that Secretary Tart
would unite with President Roosevelt
against Speaker Cannon who, when
here recently, gave the Porto Ricans
little hope in the matter of citizen
ship.
Secretary Taft then spoke vigorous
ly in reply, saying in part; Again l
am urged to make a full and speclhc
declaration regarding the policy Of the
United States toward the people OF
Porto Rico. am only an humble mem
her of President Roosevelts Cabinet.
Whatever l may think or whatever |
may do are matters of little impor-
lance to the people Of this island. l
can only invoke your attention to the
fact that President Roosevelt has Wis
tied Porto Rico and the island has
been visited by Mr.. Root, Secretary OF
State. and by Mr.. Cannon Speaker OF
the House of Representatives, and in
some respects the most powerful man
in the republic.
What those visits indicate Is this:
That the people of the United States
have a deep affection for the people
of Porto Rico, and feel more kindly
toward them and have a greater In
terest in them than in the people OF
Cuba or the Philippines.
THE United States has gathered
Porto Rico to her bosom and has
given her that which means the ma
terial progress of the island-the ben
eft of the markets of the United
States. She has given her the mar
kets and the prosperity she enjoys
today. She has given every Porto
Rican the same liberty enjoyed by
the people Of the United States.
"You say you have not been given
citizenship. President Roosevelt mas
recommended that citizenship be CIV
en-, but there have been congressional
difficulties with reference to this mat
ter. / am not dealing, however, with
generalities, but with the concret
facts. l ask what is it that Porto
Rican does not enjoy that an, Ameri'
can enjoys?
"You have every guarantee and Sc
curity which a citizen of the United
States has under the constitution
You have the writ Of habeas corpus
and the trial by jury, and when you
are in a foreign country the same nag
protects you that protects citizen
OF the United States. Therefore
while President Roosevelt urges citi'
zenship, he urges it on the ground OF
gratifying the sentiment of the peo'
ple of this island. But when you
come to examine the facts OF what
you ask, the question is whether 1t Is
not nominal rather than substantial.
The Secretary and his party let
here this morning for Guayama.

The decision of the supreme court
of Massachusetts holding that a South
Dakota divorce granted when the
court did not have jurisdiction OF
one of the parties is no divorce, follows
logically upon that decision of the Uni
ted States supreme court which about
a year ago set the Divorces all TO
scampering and looking up questions
OF legitimacy and procedure. 1t was
to Edith Cutting, the wife, that the
divorce was granted. Edith Cutting
is divorced in South Dakota in Massa-
chusetts not. In South Dakota she
may contract new union and the
children thereof be legitimate. In
Massachusetts, such a venture might
make her subject to charge OF big
amy. She lives in state Of excep-
tional possibilities. The law allows
her the character of chameleon
blue. green or brown, as 1t likes her;
simply by consulting the map and
buying the necessary mileage she may
put legal respectability ON in one
place and put II OF in another. Sucn
are the privileges Of the Divorces.

signs of Coming Earthou,,,.

Can an earthquake be "felt" ap-
preaching as a shower of rain can be
felt and a fall of snow? On the RI
viera In 1887 the horses laid their ears
back and gave every sign of uneasi-
ness. In Chile the birds have been
observed to fly inland just before a
convulsion. In Talcahuano in 1885 all
the dogs fed from the city. These ac-
tions, of course, as scientist who has
collected n valuable list suggests, may
be mere condolences, for birds will fiy
inland and kittens become nervous
when no earthquake Is nigh. on the
other hand, as the lower animals are
singularly sensitive to any changes of
weather and to pressure Of the air
they may even be conscious of sub
terranean movements which do not
come within human ken or are even not
detachable by the most delicate instru-
ments."
