A Side-Light
on Free Sugar. .

The reduction OF duty which a
Democratic Congress made on
sugar has not cheapened sugar
to the house vile, but it has put
adamper on sugar raising in such
sections of the country as are fit
tor it. In Porto Rico it has
brought about an almost com.
plete stagnation of instustry.
Coincidentlv. it has almost xii
led commerce bet ween Porto Rico
and the States. Under Spanish
rule. Porto Rico produced about
10000 tons OF sugar annually.
Under the fostering care OF a pro-
tective tariff. such AS we had
when Porto RICO was annexed
and such as continued urtil the
Underwood bill upset it, this an
nual product gradually rose to
$4,000 tons. There was a con
sequent increase of purchasing
power in Porco Rico. whose trade
came naturally to the market ia
the States. A special report
issued by the Department of
Commerce shows that OF the
merchandise imported into the
island, valued at $34, 100000,
over $3O,OOO.00O worth ,came
from American firms and factor
les, while exports of S35, 900, 900
out OF a total value of $42 ,OOO,-
600 were shipped to the United
States. The value OF sugar ex-
ported exceeds that rf all other
products combined. The deprrs.
sion in the sugar industry last
year following the adoption of
the Underwood tariff law was
reflected in decline OF SO 900. 900
in the total trade of the island
tor the year.
The leading shipments to Porto
Rico during the year 1914 by
American manufacturers and pro
ducers were: Rice. S5,1OO,OOO;
cotton manufacturers, 81 2OO,-
900; meat and dairy products
So 800, 900; iron and steel manu-.
factures. 81. 100000; wheat -four
81. 100000; wood manufactures.
81. .4OO,OOO and boots and shoes
100000, with sales of auto
mobiles, carriages, fertilizers.
cement. chemicals. paints, malt
liquors, silk manufactures, etc.
Here. once more, is interesting
proof OF the protectionist's con
ientiou that whenever you open
the American market to a foreign
commodity the American pro-
ducers OF that commodity must
suffer lOss-loss OF profits to the
owner of the plant and loss of
work and wages to those who
labor in it. Free sugar means
that Porto Rican Sugar growers
cannot make money and that
their hands cannot have work to
earn money. Therefore they can
not buy the things which they
need and which they do not
raise or make tor themselves.
What is true of sugar men III
Porto Rico is true of sugar men
in any state wherever beet sugar
is produced.

SAVINGS BANKS AS PART or SCHOOL
 SYSTEM URGED

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21. - The teaching of economy in finances and the establishment of savings banks in connection with public schools was urged by Paul l.. Evans. head of the commercial department of- the Ala meda. Cal, high school in a strong address delivered before the Nation M Educational Association Saturday afternoon.
 The speaker said:
 "A good sized bank account is a declaration of independence. The shad- ow of a dollar sign falls across our way at every turn A good citizen is a saver. Education for life must in- clude instruction in the simple prin- ciples Of economics, training in the use of money and in habits of thrift"
 The speaker said that experience has demonstrated the plan to have public school savings banks to be prac- tlcable. It has been tried in many sec tions of the country, and the 1915 re- ports show that American school chill lren have S3,O0O.00O on deposit in them. Pittsburgh has lead the other cities but San Francisco has 13,OOO iepositors among the school children. ill told there are 1.50O grammer schools having savings banks, and they are now being introduced in the high schools.

HENDEE'S ARM PROBABLY
 BE SAVED

J c. Hendee is steadily improving at st. Ann's hospital. Dr. l.. P. Dawes said this morning that the condition of the injured arm is very much bet ter than was hoped for. and from present indications it will be possible to save it. An X-Ray picture taken yesterday shows that the radius has been completely shattered for a dis tance of several inches. and that the ulaa has been broken at the end which joins the radius It is the present expectation of the physicians in charge that the radius will be plated and the ulna fastened to 1t, thereby retaining the control of the arm. The mucles are badly shattered. but the main nerve. which carries both sem sorry and motor flores. although se- verely injured. is not completely de- stroyed and 1t is upon the hope that this nerve win be able to do its share of proper functioning that the hope of saving the arm is based.
 No work can be done until the dan ger of infection has passed. and this will probably takeoseveral days. Mr. Hendee's general condition is very much improved.
 Hendee's was injured a week ago Sunday when he was struck by a stray bullet while he was hunting deer on Admiralty Island.

CHISANA IS
 RELIC OF PAST

That this will be the last season of mining in the Chisana district is tho opinion of T. w. Hooker, who er- rived from Cordoya this morning on the steamer Admiral Watson. He is registered at the Occidental Hotel, and after trip to Tonakee Springs, will go into the Tolovana.
 Hooker says that very little gold was taken out this year. Conditions for mining were good, there being plenty of water, but the activity was confined to the Nelson-James claims, which were leased Ito Fletcher T.. Hamshaw and later subleased to other men.
 In short. the chisana is "petered out" according to Hooker. and he pre- diets there win be no men there next summer.

DREAD DISEASE ENDS
 LIFE OF ENTIRE CREW

PORT ANGELES, Aug. 14.-Whon the Peruvian bafk Alliance dropped her anchor a mile or Ediz hook yester- day after voyage of 9t days from Callao with sugar cargo for Nancou- yer, there was but one ablebodied man aboard He was Gait Para gon. the master, the rest Of the crew being dead or afflicted with beri-beri, the dread sea scourge of Asiatic wa ters.
 Five men succumbed to beri-beri during the last three weeks of the yoy- age. and the last victim dying while the bark was beating up the strait. There was none aboard with strength enough to bury him.
 For more than a month on the be- ginning of her voyage the Alliance was in the Doldrums. then another month of fine sailing weather enabled the vessel Go make good progress and everything was ship-shape until a lit- tle more than month ago. when one Of the sailors. R. Pinzon, fell to the deck in a half-paralyzed condition. Af' ter an examination of the mans legs Capt Paragon knew the dread berl- beri was aboard the ship.
 From then until the bark reached Flattery. sailors continued to take sick and died until the fifth berathed his last on the way up the strait. No attempt was made to bury him, as the vessel was then nearing Port An geles
 When Dr. Hyde boarded the Alliance in the quarantine boat he found Capt. Paragon lying exhausted on the deck, the crew having been unable to assist him in bringing the vessel into port.
