AMERICAN NAVAL
HEROES HONORED
Six New Destroyers Named for
Men Who Fought for u. S.
Iron The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Oct. lO.-Six destroyers
now under construction were named to-
day b. Secretary Daniels. They will be
called Sampson, Rowan, Davis, Allen,
Wilkes and Shaw, in accordance with
the rule that destroyers be named for
dead naval officers.
Rear Admiral William T. Sampson, Of
Spanish war memory, is the only one of
the six whose deeds are recalled by the
present generation. Vice Admiral
Stephen Clegg Rowan and Rear Ad-
miral Charles Henry Davis earned
their laurels in the Civil War. Com
mander William Henry Allen was first
lieutenant under Captain Stephen De-
catur on the frigate United States in
the War of 1912, and was commended
by Congress for gallant conduct in the
capture Of the British frigate Macedo
MAN.
Rear Admiral Charles Wilkes, as
commander Of the San Jacinto in 1851,
halted the British mail steamer Trent
and took off the Confederate Commits
sioners Mason and Slidell, which action
brought on a crisis with Great Britain.
IN which war was narrowly averted.
Captain John Shaw commanded the
Enterprise during the naval war with
France in l798-ls00. and captured eight
vessels from the French in the West
Indies, besides recapturlng eleven
American prizes.

PORTO RICO PARADISE
FOUND OVERCR0WDED
Governor Wager Urges Emigra'
ton to Other Countries.

Washington, Oct. 10.-"1he paradise
of Porto Rico IS overpopulated," &C
cording 70 Arthur Wager, Governor Of
the dependency, and President Wilson
has been asked 10 arrange for whole
sale migration from the island. The
President is understood 10 have re-
piled TO Governor wager that "the
subject Is worth profound cOnsidera-
ton"
This is the first time in history that
a high official Of the United States has
advocated Federal support Of a move
ment to encourage emigration from
American territory to a foreign land.
Porto Rico has a population Of $50
persons to the square mile, and the
supply Of unsllled labor has forced
wages to a level that makes decent liv-
ing impossible.
II Is proposed 10 encourage the emf
grafton Of 100000 to 1000 unskilled
laborers TO Cuba and SGnto Domingo
where the climate is similar and the
language the same. IL they do not
move fast enough Governor wager sug-
gests that the government pay their
expenses.
Governor Wager reports that wage ;
have fallen to 80 or 20 cents day.
Since the American occupation In 1898
the laboring classes have improved
greatly the standard Of living. The
productive power Of the dependency
has increased skiold in seventeen
years Of American rule, bringing gen
eral prosperity, but the Governor be
lieves that emigration Is necessary II
the people are to make further prog
rpsg
