Colonel Roosevelt hailed as colossal
failure, particularly hard upon the
farmer; its antitrust program he
branded as an economic absurdity; its
foreign policy he styled as ''wretched,

The democratic tariff, he insisted,

caucus of senate democrats called for
today with the presidents approval.
The party agreement to pass a trade

backing of the president.
1t was said the president would send
no message to the caucus; that he had
nothing to do directly with calling the
meeting.

by Majority Leader Kern to act upon

these positions are required to pass
examinations and furnish recommen-

Their duty is to see that the rules

SAN JUAN HARBOR
Roadstead Leading to Porto
Rico'S Capital Is Majestic.
Was Scene Of Most Pathetic Of Eng
lands Sea Stories, the Last Voy-
age Of Admiral Hawkins, With
Sir Francis Drake.

San Juan, Porto Rico.-Like other
harbors which have described in this
series, that of San Juan, Porto Rico,
Is truly romantic and majestic, says
Roger w. Babson in Public Ledger.
There are many San Juans in these
southern seas, but this certainly is
San Juan Bautista and well chosen to
be the entrance to the capital of Porto
Rico. In addition, however. to the
physical and scenic attractions Of this
harbor, ran across tragic side.
This harbor was the scene Of one Of
the most pathetic Of the sea stories OF
England, the story OF the last voyage
Of Admiral Hawkins and Francis
Drake. These great Elizabethan sail
ors got together feet and put out
from Plymouth In 1895. The voyage
was disastrous from the beginning
After suffering reverses at the Canae>
les and Marie Galante, the feet arrived
of San Juan. The aged admiral died
when land was sighted and Drake then
took command. At break of day, the
English fleet appeared of the forts.
After several attacks in which the in
vincible Drake was repulsed, the Eng
fish fleet bore away beaten.
The capital Of Porto Rico will for
ever associate with the life and times
Of that most romantic adventurer,
Juan Ponce de Leon. This pictur-
esque Castilian was soldier of for
tune who had already served in many
campaigns before he embarked with
Columbus on his second voyage in
1893. In 1909 Ponce de Leon was ap-
pointed governor of Porto Rico, where
two years later he founded the city
Of San Juan Bautista. Here he lived
in the Casa Blanca, the White House,
which he built for himself by the mar.
