PORTO R|CANS ARE NOW READY FOR !
 CITIZENSHIP

 Bona Eide Americans

WASHINGTON, D. C.. December l2. Citizenship, without serious incon- venience to the individual, should be extended to those who desire it in Porto Rico, according 70 General Clarence R. Edwards, chief of the bureau of insu- lar affairs, in his annual report today to the secretary of war
 Whether this be done by an act con ferring in itself United States citizen. ship on the whole body of citizens of Porto Rico, or by an act enabling them by the performance individually of Some simple preliminary acts to become American citizens without delay, is a mere matter of detail for congress to work out, said General Edwards.
 ct is hoped that the grant of cit izenship may be regarded simply as an act of justice and performed in an open and unequivoeal manner, concludes the chief of the bureau.

on the whole continuous and encour- aging growth, it is pointed out in the report. The exports for the fiscal year just passed amounted in value to over $30,0O0,000 and the imports to oyer $20,000,000. The imports from the United States amounted to over S23,- 000,OO0.
 General Edwards comments at length upon the recent tariff legislation of the United States, whereby goods from the Philippines, except rice, may be shipped to the United States free of duty under certain limitations.
 ct is believed that the people of the Philippines have every reason to he content with the new tariffs, and that there will result from them that pros perity in the islands which should be the result of their relation to the Unit ed States" says General Edwards.
 "The net result so far has been to increase the price paid to the grower for his leaf tobacco ten per cent. The price received by the producer of SUI gar has increased twenty-five per cent. These are increases which may be at tributed wholly to the true trade rela- tions, fluctuations in the worlds mar kets having been eliminated.
 General Edwards says the rate up to date of the importation into the United States of Phillipine cigars has been at the rate of about 75,000,000 per year, or one half the limit for free admission. The effect on the American industry. he adds, of this importation "may well be judged by the fact that these cigars may be found only with the greatest difficulty"
 r The imports of the Philippines dur ing the last fiscal year, was over $27,- 00O,00O American goods constituted seventeen per cent of the total value of Philippine imports. General Ed wards predicts that under the new free trade conditions this percentage will be largely increased.
 General Edwards points out that with the minor exception of the trouble with the Moro outlaw, Jikiri, on Jolo island. the constabulary maintained quiet and order in all parts of the Philippines without the active intervention of the army.

 A few months ago suit was filed by S. L. Gibson, l.. E. Wightman, H. H. Bru and William Henderson against Kruger and his bOndsmen, to recover on the bond of Sl6,0Q0.
 Attorney Nave, finding that it would be necessary to secure Norton s state ment as to the additional expense to which the owners of the building had been put, in order to go to trial with that case, sent for the architect.
 At meeting between the two men Sunday evening, Attorney Nave sub mitted to Norton document in which it was set forth that Norton had audited the accounts of the building, that the cost of construction after Kruger threw up the contract was $6O,3Op, that $9,700 had been paid to Kruger ba- fore he threw up the contract and that the damages incurred as the result of Kruger's default amounted to $25,O00.
 Objected to Damages
 Norton declined to sign the dOcu- ment, claiming that he could not do so until he had checked up numerous bills and receipts. He particularly objected, it is said, to the clause in which the damages were fixed at $25,O00.
 It is claimed that Norton intimated that before he would sign the document that the balance due him for his work in connection with the construction of the building should be paid.
 Attorney Nave, according to Norton g statement, became very angry and ordered him out of the office. Norton left and was arrested at the Dominion hotel, lat in the evening.
 Architect Norton claims that he did not directly or indirectly solicit a bribe holding that he acted in an entirely proper manner during the interview.
