New York April THE Borough

conditions attending the closing OF the

which led TO the closipg OF the Union

AS was the case with the Union
bank. the Borough bank was obliged
TO suspend during the panic OF 1907

management was obliged 10 assume
liabilities which have been a heavy
load. and the suspension OF the Union

The banks inability to market this
property, which it held at the time OF
the resumption. and the exhaustion of

closing of the Union bank on Monday,
explains the suspension.

Allowed to Pick
Wild Flowers

San Francisco, Cal, April IA
springtime holiday to the women
prisoners OF San Quentin was rare
innovation introduced by Warden
Hoyle last Sunday. Gathering wild
flowers on the hills within the prison
enclosure was the chief recreation to
which 81 of the pale-faced blue-garbed
inmates OF the penitentiary devoted
themselves For the first time In
months OF yearS-thc time depending
on the individual period of incarcera-
tton-they walked on the fresh green
turf and when they returned to their
cells there was dash OF color In each
check and a bunch OF flowers at each
belt
For a full week before Warden
Hoyle would not permit the flowers
growing on the slopes near the prison
walls to be picked. but he did not di-
vulge his reason for the order and
so the surprise to the grateful women
was complete.
Two male guards and the prison
matron accompanied the prisoners TO
the fields. Among those who en-
loved the outing was Emma lie DeuX,

SPANISH BOYS ARE
ADMITTED TO PORTO RICO

Washington. April 7.-Scoretary Ma
gel of the department OF commerce
and labor has taken 2 liberal view OF
tho immigration laws In directing the
admission into Porto Rico OF two
Spanish bows who arrived in San Juan
month ago. but who were denied
landing there by the immigration Off
GERS On the ground that they were
immigrant laborers. Their passage TO
Porto Rico was paid by their parents
in Spain after arrangements had been
made by friend in San Juan for them
in his mercantile establishment to put
up packages and walt on customers"
The immigration officials took the
view that the boys had come under
contract 10 perform labor essentially
manual in character. and that their ad-
mission would be inconsistent with
the alien contract provisions of the
law Secretary Nagel says In his
opinion that the boys are not contract
laboreTs.
