ISLANDERS APPEAL
TO UNITED STATES
Labor Conditions in Porto
Rico Explained to the
President.

President Roosevelt yesterday received
piteous appeal from the working Tler
OF Porto Rico. Conditions Of labor have
improved but little II any from those
prevailing under the old Spanish regime
he was told. and men and women are
compelled TO toll ten hours a day for
wages ranging from Is to 45 ;ents. Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers. OF the American
Federation of Labor, acted as sponsor
Tor the Porto Ricans and introduced
them to President r Josevelt. The dele
cation consisted Of L. Sanchez Lopez,
organizer for the Clgarma.kers' Iaterna-
tlOnal Union at San Juan: Santiago
Iglesias, general organizer OF the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor for Porto
Rico. and Joaquin A. Becerril. president
Of the Brickiayers' and Masons' Union
Of San Juan.
After discussing general conditions
with the President, the visitors left with
him a copy Of a memorial which the
Free Federation OF Worhngmeu OF
Porto Rico ordered sent 70 Washing
ton. After detailing the fact that 'feud-
al traditions Of Spanish type are still
prevalent on the island" the memorial
goes on 10 say that the state OF the
Porto RIcan Iaborers IS like THAI OF
slaves. They have no economic power
or political influence: the sanitary con-
ditiOns are bad, and the price OF living
has Increased greatly during the last
few years.

Five Arches.

The bridge consists Of five l50-ioot
arches separated by 2O-foot piers and py
two g2-foot arches At tho end Of the
bridge proper there are two ~ Adult
ments. each having a length Of 1S6 feet
The structure has a width Of % feet,
and the maximum height of its floor
above the ground Is 136 feet
Eighty thousand cubic yards on con-
crete was required for the bridge, $1,000
barrels Of Portland cement and 5000
cubic yards Of sand. The cost Of the
masonry was approximately $40 cubic
yard. The bridge IS trimmed with con-
erata blocks very closely resembling
granite. It was the intention Of the
engineers to use granite, but this was
found impracticable on account OF an
aided cost to the structure OF Sl75,0O0.
The Crawford Paving Company were

The new Connecticut avenue bridge
will not be opened before December 10.
1t IS believed. as the approaches cannot
be finished before that time. The bridge
itself is completed with the exception Of
a small part OF the railing.
The delay in the completion Of the
railing Is, according to w. J. Douglas.
engineer of bridges, due to the fact
that the Philadelphia firm having this
contract recently went into bankruptcy.
This necessitated a visit to PHILADELPHIA
by Mr.. Douglas and F. II. stephens. as
sistant corporation counsel, and Il was
arranged to permit the rece yer to finish
the contract.

before ther approaches to the bridge are

MOST cARNIVoRoUs ANIMALS.
Big Bears of Alaska the Greatest OF
All Known Flesh Eaters.

Bio Bears of Alaska the Greatest OF
All Known Flesh Eaters.
Very few persons really know that
the largest fiesh-eating animals in the
world are found in America. People
generally believe that the African
lion is the king Of beasts, but he IS
not nearly as large or as powerful an
animal as the large brown bear or
subarctic America. The bears are not
as ferocious or combative as the lions,
nor are they nearly as vicious as they
are given credit for being, but the
largest of them are much larger and
more powerful than any of the lions.
It is safe to say that the largest OF
the brown bears of the north would
weigh three times as much as the larg-
est specimen of lion and is beyond all
question greatly superior In strength
If brought together in combat the
bear would at first appear very clum-
sy. It would not be capeble of the
quick rush or the cat-like spring OF the
lion.
THE large brown bears of Alaska
peninsula south of Boring sea are
among the largest bears Of the world,
and it is evident that there is no part
of the world outside of America IN
which such large flesh-eating animals
are found. The bears are f1esh-eaters
or carnivorous, yet there are none OF
them that depend upon flesh for food
and with most of them flesh COM
prises but a very small percentage OF
their food.

Being What Puzzled an American in

Beinu What Puzzled an American in a
Railway Restaurant in Spain.
The American went into the railway
fonda at Valencia de Alcantra when
the midnight train stopped there for
refreshments on the way from Lisbon
to Madrid. He was hungry and most
of all he wanted a sandwich.
The thing that tormented him was
that he did not know the Spanish word
for sandwich and he was afraid that IL
he did not see one in the restaurant IN
the border town he would have to go
without.
Sure enough, there were no sand
wiches on the counter. But the Amerl-
can was game. Summoning his limit
ed Spanish, he tackled the waiter.
With wealth of gesture he asked
haltingly, What do you call what you
make when you cut roll in two Qndi-
cation a slicing motion) and you put
inside slices of meat Showing how
the meat should be put i'm, waiter?
The waiter let it soak in, and Them
with a CLEAN of intelligence in his
eyes. said, ooh, sanweesh.'
