PORTO RICO MAKING RICHES.
But the Island Itsels Is Not Sharing in
the Profits.

Mohonk Lake, n ", Oct. 24.-The
sugar and the tobacco interests are get
ting great wealth out OF Porto Rico, but
the island itself Is not sharing these
profits, says the 1T. Rev. James H. Van
Buren,, for ten years Protestant Episco-
\ pal bishop of Porto Rico. Bishop Van
Buren, left the island a year ago after
ten years service and is now rector of
Christ Church at Madison, Indiana.
Problems in Porto Rico" was the sub
ject of an address he delivered to-day
before the Lake Mohonk Conference OF
| Friends OF the Indians and Other De-
pendent Peoples
The three principal industries of the
island" he said, are sugar, tobacco and
coffee production. The removal of a
tariff between Porto Rico and the rest
! of the United States has so stimulated
these industries, especially the first two,
that it is evident TO the most casual OBJ
server that there is in the island wide
| spread and genuine commercial pros
perity More people are employed, more
hours day, more days in the week,
and with more money in the envelope
than ever before Thousands of acres
under most perfect cultivation testify
TO the truth of a remark which was
made to me not long before ! came
away, to this effect THE time is not far
distant when everything in Porto Rico
that is not owned or controlled by the
tobacco trust, will be owned or con-
trolled by sugar
THE development of these two indus
tries during the past fifteen years has
been no less than marvellous. Every
where the oldfashioned sugar mill has
given place to the most modern central
and we have made five or six, at least,
to grind where only one ground before.
Miles upon miles of tobacco fields COW
cred with cheese cloth resemble huge
avalanches in that land where snow and
ice are unknown. Millions upon mil
lions of dollars have been invested there.
But why do | speak OF this among
the problems Because all this pros
perity is due to the trusts, and as yet
the trust is itself, a problem The
profits arising from these great indus
tries are not returned TO the island, they
are emptied into the Golfers of syndi- |
Gates in New York and Madrid.
Bishop Van Buren, spike OF the great |
task of matchmaking the two streams /
OF civilization Spanish and American
which now flow in Porto Rico side by |
side. The problem, he said, was to pre-
serve the best OF the old Spanish GUS
toms. Loyalty to the American flag |
could hest be taught, he thought, by /
never emphasizing nor accentuating I
racial differences; secondly, by instillng i
patriotism in The public schools. At
least six times as many Porto Rican chill /
dren attend school now as when the |
Stars and Stripes were first raised on
the heights OF Guanica fifteen years ago.
The Porto Ricans. he asserted, ardent
~ desire citizenship and he believed
they should have IT, He considered it I
most unfortunate that the problems
the island presents have to be dealt |
with at long range. that the island must !
be governed from Washington and the
church administered from New York.

WOULD WELCOME WILSON'S AGAIN

WOULD WELCOME WILSON'S AGAIN.
Among the things that New Hamp.
shire and Vermont have in common is
worry over the rumor that the president
will seek a summer home nearer Wash
ington next year-Boston Herald.
Undoubtedly New Hampshire walld
regret choice OF the Wilson family
which would draw them away from New
Hampshire; and Vermont, by virtue OF
its close association with the little vii
lage of Cornish across the Connecticut
river would likewise feel measure o.
regret. 1t has been a pleasure for the
people in the immediate vicinity OF Cor
nish and Windsor to have the Wilson
family in their midst, even though the
president himself was able to spend only
a comparatively short time at the sum
mer capital, and they would welcome
a return of the family another summer,
adding the hope that President Wilson
would find 1T possible to spend more of
the summer months with his family. II
is true that Cornish is quite distance
away from Washington and the distance
makes a somewhat tedious trip between
the two places when the time is short
for the stay at Cornish; but the pros
poets are that President Wilson will
have far more time to himself next sum
mer than he was privileged to have the
past summer with important matters of
legislation before Congress which seemed
to demand his presence in Washington
So if there is objection to summer
capital in New Hampshire because of the
long distance from Washington, that OBJ |
lection will lose much of its force the
coming summer in case there is no Con- |
gress in session. Hence it is to be hoped |
that President Wilson and his family, |
who apparently enjoyed their stay at
Cornish this year. will decide to come
again next summer-if not at Cornish,
then at some other place of the many
attractive spots in either state. j

The annual convention of the Vermont
State Teachers association started off at
Montpelier with considerable enthusiasm
giving promise that it would be of con
siderable value to the large number o.
persons attending the sessions. Teach
ers with enthusiasm for their work is
what Vermont needs to bring itself up
from the rather low rank it now holds
in the sisterhood of states as far as edu-
cation and literacy is concerned. II they
take home the enthusiasm which they
receive at the state convention and put
il into their work, the gathering OF so
many will have proved its usefulness in
good measure.

KNOXVILLE
FEELS QUAKE
Town is Shaken By Earthquake
Also Felt By Newport
Citizens.

Knoxville, Tenn, March 22.-knoX-
vile was visited Friday by an earth
quake that shook the city from center
to circumference and was felt for miles,
in at least three directions. Buildings
trembled like leaves in the wind, and
in good many instances, chimneys
were loosened and some toppled over.
Pictures were released from their fas-
Jennings, and the city was given dis
turbance that exceeded anything prev
iously experienced in its history.
The first shock was felt at 100 p. M,
followed by minor shock about three
minutes later. 1t came with terryify-
ing suddenness, and people rushed
forth from homes, offices stores and
factories, wondering what had occur
red to rock the very city. 1t was the
general opinion at first that there had
been terrific explosion, but investiga.
ton failed to locate one, and it was the
final verdict that the city had been
visited by the worst seismic disturb

motion seems to have been vertical, up

PIGEON RIVER

Heavy Rains in Mountains Gauss
Flood Stage of Thirteen
Feet i'm River.

Cooke county had a taste of high
water last Thursday morning when
the river rose very suddenly to the ,y3
foot mark. When the river reaches
six feet here, il ir al flood stage, soft
will be seen that il was at more than
food stage last week. The high
water came following a heavy rain In
the mountains. The water came up
suddenly, rising at the rate of fQnt
an hour for some time. 1t flooded the
basement of the Newport Mill COM
pany and of course put the town in
darkness for the period of one night.
The water flooded the bottoms al
along the river, but no great damdee
was done anywhere. 1t was high
enough TO cover the railroad tracks be-
tween Newport and Rankin and trair

All Ohio has been under water for q
week, but now the waters are flowing
down the Ohio river and points lower
down are experiencing one Of it's
worst floods.
The greatest damage was done at
Dayton where several hundred lives
were lost and where the whole city
with the exception of ore small section
was under from ten to thirty feet Of
water. The water was twenty feet deep
in the main streets and horses were
lodged in the tree tops when the water
receded.
The dead are still being dug from
the ruins and the total will be over
two hundred. The money loss will De
large and it is said that the total death
list from the flood in Ohio and Indiana
will total about two thousand, while
over hundred millions of dollars
worth of property was ruined.
The railroads were big sufferers and
their loss is estimated at from twenty
five to thirty million dollars. Practi-
cally every bridge in the state of Ohio
was washed away and it will be weeks
before traffic will be normal.
AT Hamilton, Ohio, the home of the
Champion Paper Company, the par
ent Company of The Champion Fibre
Company of Canton, N. c., the dam
age was heavy, the big coating mill of
the Champion Company being burned
with loss of. million dollars. The
flood waters did other damage and as
a result it is said that the Champion
Fibre Company's plant at Canton will
be shut down for the best portion of a
year, the only department to be as
sured of continued operation being the
extract plant. This will mean big
loss to the people of this immediate Sec
tion and especially TO Canton where
many men will be thrown out of en-
ployment.
