NEW SAN JUAN CAPITOL.
Design of NesC York architect 14c-

The design for the capitol at San Juan
Porto Rico drawn by Frank E. Perkins. an archi-
tect, of No. 1888 Broadway. and accepted by the
government commission, shows adaptation of
styles TO the climatic conditions of the island
The illustration is OF the front OF the building
showing simple Doric style and with low dome
A more pronounced dome avoided by Mr.
Perkins because Of the resistance it would offer
(probabIy Intellectually to the tornadoes of that
latitude.
The dome will partly cover an open court or
patio" which, with vestibues extending from H.
will admit plenty Of air and light. In the lighting
the architect had IN mind the temperature of Porto
Rico, which varies between IS and 96 degrees and
did not plan for single pane of glass The win

other concession 10 the of natives is the
provision for the tinting of the reinforced con-
crete OF which 1t will be built This will be deco
rated with marbles and bronze.
AS viewed from the front, the left Of the building
will be occupied by the Executive Council and the
right by the House OF Delegates. The Supreme

DECLINE OF BRITISH TARs.

England has become seriously concerned over
the shortage OF seamen 70 man her merchant
marine. Lascars have now largely suppIanted
the native product. During the last fifteen
years there has been an increase of 17,1O3 OF
these East Indian seamen. as against only $40
Britishers. In consequence, the British gov
ernment issued q notice recently that foreign
seamen should not be engaged on British ships
in European waters unless they have enough
knowledge of English to understand orders
given In that language. IL Is stated that il has
been no uncommon thing TO find ships crew

SUNDAY LAW UPHELD.
Test Case in the Superior Court in Hartford and Confectioner Fined.

Hartford. Sept 23.-In the super for criminal court test case of the Sunday law relating to the keeping open of candy stores was begun be- fore jury. There are about a dozen complaints, the defendant in yester- days trial being Thomas Condoe, a Greek. After the taking of testimony the arguments were begun.
 That of the defense made by Attor- ney Quinn was that the defendants did not violate the law by selling can dy and soda water as these articles were for immediate consumption and do not come under the same interpre- tation as ham and other such arti- cles. He contended that the existing law passed over 200 years ago should be interpreted to meet the broadened conditions of 1908 and not of the pe- riod of its framing.
 States Attorney Alcorn contended that the keeping open of candy stores on Sunday was distinct violation of both the letter and spirit of the law.
 Condoe was found guilty on both counts by the jury, who were only ab- sent from the court room ten minutes. Four of the other defendants plead guilty after the verdict was rendered. In moving for sentence the states at- torney asked for the maximum pen alty. Judge Bennett imposed a fine of $25 against each defendant. This is one-half of what was imposed in the lower court.

THE CITY COURT.
John McNerney Held Under Bonds
 of $1,OO0.

John McNerney Held Under Bonds
 of $1,OOO.
 In the city court to-day John Mc- Nerney was charged with breaking into the fish store of John Schott, PAT South Main street, last night. Officers Harmon and McElllgott were passing the store when they saw the accused inside. The tran som was on the floor broken, and evidently the man was trying to get out. He asked the officers to let him out and he would go with them quietly and they told him they would have to open the door first.
 McNerney's story was that he was standing in the doorway of the store arguing with some shop mates when he got into wrangle with one of them. In the scuffle that followed the other man threw McNerney into the store through the window. Nothing was taken.
 In reply to this the officers said the glass in the door and windows was not broken when they got there. The only damage done was to the transom. McNerney was held in bail of $l,000 for the superior court.
 Charles Hanrahan, Bishop street, charged with intoxication and failing to support his family, said that 1t was custom with him to pawn the clocks and things. It seems he had pawned a clock yesterday morning in order to get drink and he gave the ticket to his wife. Forty cents was obtained on the clock. He was com mitted to jail for ninety days.
