TO EXTEND CITIZENSS
Report Of Bureau Of Insular Affairs
Advocates Privileges to Porto
Ricans.

Washington, Dec. 12.-EXtensiOn of
American citizenship to Porto Ricans
who desire it and without forcing it upon
those who do not is recommended by
General Clarence r. Edwards. chief of
the bureau of insulaT affairs, in his an
nual report, made public today.
In speaking of the recent tariff legls-
latiOn by congress for the benefit of the
Philippines, General Edwards says the
net results so far have been TO increase
the price paid to the grower for his leaf
tobacco from 10 per cent for the poorer
grades to As per cent for the best grades.
The price received by the producer OF
sugar has increased 25 per cent.
He says that up to date, importations
into the United States Of Philippine
cigars since the passage Of the tariff act
have been at the rate Of about 100000
year, or nearly half the limit for free
admission.
'The effect on the American industry
Of this importation" says General Ed
wards, may well be judged by the fact
that these cigars may be found only
with the greatest difficulty
General Edwards says that one-halt or
the regular number Of troops now in the
Philippine islands are a sufficient guar
antee against any possible internal dis
order.

Water Pressure Failed.

When the local firemen arrived on the
scene they soon found that the water
pressure was Inadequate to make a sue
cessful fight against the fire. When news
of the fire reached the mines near the
city the Alliance, Silver King and Dafy
Judge shut down their mills and soon
the pressure was greatly increased.
It soon became evident to the fire fight
ers that there was no hope of saving
the Maple Hall structure or the buildings
next adjoining it, so that their efforts
were directed in keeping the flames from
spreading With this object in view,
streams of water were kept playing on
several Of the large structures in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the burning buildings.
From the Maple Hall building the fire
spread southwark to a saloon building
owned By ldleman Brothers of Cheyenne,
WyO., and occupied by Campbell & Han
sen. The fixtures in this building were
valued at about 5000. The Gem saloon
building, owned by Mrs. H. S. Hanks and
leased by W r. JeffOrds. caught fire and
burned to the ground, with a loss Of about
$3.50. The fire fighters succeeded in
keeping the fire from spreading any fur

On the north Of the Maple Hall struc-
ture the first building to fall before the
fire was the NJ. &. NJ. saloon, unOccupied,
and owned by John Shields. The loss was
about $1,000 The JeffOrds candy store
was the next to go. This building was
owned by Mrs. +. A. Shields and the loss
Is estimated at ABOUT 9l-JU Here the
flames were stayed in their movement
nOrthward.
When the fire was at it, height the hun
dreds Of people who had gathered in the
neighbOrhOOd became fearful that the
entire city would be burned and a call
was sent to the Salt Lake fire department
to send apparatus to assist in fighting
the fire. Before sufficient time had
elapsed for action to be taken on this
cali the local firemen found out that the
fire was under control, and a telephone
call was sent resembling the first request
for aid Even if the Salt Lake depart
ment had made the run, it is doubtful il
they could have assisted to an appreciate
extent, as the Salt Lake hose would not
fit the Park City connections
A. c. Sullivan of the Salt Lake Security
& Trust company stated FAST night that
the Maple Hall building was a practically
new frame building and was valued at
about $4,000. The company also owned
the rOOmiDg house fixtures, worth about
$500. The insurance on the building was
about 5000 and on the fixtures about
81 900
Residents Of Park City are now ex-
tremely anxious about the waterworks
proposition. At the present time there
is a movement on foot for the bonding of
the city for $4,000 to furnish an ADEQUATE
waterWOrks system

former Mexican ambassador to this cOun-
try and now here as special envoy for his
government in the Central American en-
brOgliO, arrived today, and will bring his
mission before the state department Tues

While insisting that his government had
Astounding faith in the broad judgment
and sound diplomacy of the state de
partment, Senior Creei subtly indicated
that Mexico was not altogether in ac-
cord with the vigorous measures being
employed by the United States govern
ment TO bring the Zelaya government to
time
Mexico is the friend Of both the Cen
tTal American republic and of the United
States,' he said. My government would
like to aid in settling the present dispute,
and it is in happy position TO further
that end"
Senior Creel was asked if he meant that
Mexico was prepared to volunteer her
good offices TO bring about a settlement.
Precisely" he replied. I'VE hope TO join
with the United States in solving the stu
alton without blOOdshed and with entire
SOod feeling. I know it is the wish Of
all concerned that ,he old year may go
out in peace and the new come in with
nothing but promise of International
amity."

of gold, the heavy cross particularly
catching his attention.
Then he silently stole back to the base
ment of the church, assisting the janitOr
with renewed activity, bis mind scheming
and designing some method Of getting
possession of the golden articles on the
altar. The janitOr of the church says that
he was attracted with the change of his
assistants nature, and tried to determine
what it was all about. But Rasmussen
only worked harder, with eyes sparkling.
Toward midnight Rasmussen was
missed. The janitOr attempted to finC

he had whisked a buster over a few Of the
pews he noticed the absence of the cross
from the altar. When he looked the sec

had been taken away and that candles
had been scattered over the floor
The janitOr rushed - the telephone and
notified the police, informing them that
the valuable cross over the altar and other
valuable articles had been stolen from the
church. Sergeant Roberts took charge of
the investigation. With the assistance of
the two other policemen, he searched the
candles tTailed down TO the coal chute
At its bottom he found a sack, and when
he cautiously turned it up the cross and

Learning that the man who had been
missed after the bazaar room had been
cleaned up was Rasmussen, he retraced
his steps. Rasmussen was not at the
Volunteers hotel Then he started to
make Investigations at cheap lodging
houses.
In front Of the American House he was
attracted by a young man who seemed
uneasy. The signs of bits of white par
Tafine over his coat sleeves caused Ser
geant Roberts to Immediately connect hiel
with the church burglary.
Rasmussen then made a clean confes-
sion, begging frantically that he be taken
to the city Jail.

For Their Failure to Produce
Liquor Prescriptions
on Demand.
MAY ABATE Indictment
cIsiON OF THE INDIANA SU-
.PREME COURT MAY EFFECT
THE LIQUOR SITUATION.

Indianapolis Oct. 30.-The supreme
court yesterday construed the blind
tiger" law in a way that may put a
stop to prosecutions OF druggists by
"strong-arm' tactics adopted by the
radical temperance people in many
communities.
The court held in the case of DIR.
William M. Pence. who was charged
with the unlawful sale of liquor in
Henry county, that a druggist cannot
be required to produce the written
prescriptions and orders on which
sales of liquor were made in the aid
of a prosecution against himself.
II he is threatened with imprison-
ment for refusal to produce the pre-
scriptions, that fact may constitute
sufficient plea in abatement to IN in
dictment based on such papers.

In the course of the opinion Judge
Oscar Montgomery said: The legis-
lature had undoubted power to impose

which our statute was doubtless Dor
Towed, we can see no xcuse for the
omission of specific provisions sub

be filed in a public office. If it was
the legislative purpose to make sue
