URGES TRAINING
Senator Elect in Annual State
School Report, Urges Mill
tary Training in Schools of
New Jersey.

Trenton. Feb. IA strong en-
dorsement for military training in the
public schools is contained in the last
annual report of Joseph 8. Freling-
huysen. United States senator-eIect,
who has just retired as member and
president of the State Board of Ed
ucation. The report was made pub
Tic today by the State Department Of
Education.
Last year a bill was introduced
In the legislature" says the report,
providing for military training in
our schools. The bill failed OF pass
age. A commission was formed to study
the subject and report to this session
OF the legislature. The State Board Of
Education has not formally taken a
position on the subject New York
State established 1t last year, and it is
meeting with popular favor. Personal
.ly, l favor it.. Aside from its being
preparedness measure it will in my
opinion. be good for the youth Of
the state-from disciplinarian point
as well as physical. We have many
children of foreign birth. They must
be made patriotic. Their record as
scholars is of the highest grade. We
should teach them the responsibility of
citizenship. Perth Amboy IN our state
is trying it. The State Board of Ed
ucdtioH OOeS not 1eel, however, that
1t should anticipate the report of the
committee appointed by the legisIa-
ture." The commission has since rec
ommendcd compulsory physical train
ing for all boys, but record itself
against military training in the high
schools.
The Frellnghuysen report gives a
resume of the school situation through
the state, stating that the educa-
uonal activities are better and more
efficient by reason of the revision of
school work undertaken six years ago.
The schools are not perfect. but are
described as improving steadily" A
normal school for South Jersey is ad-
Vocated, and the state should keen its
promise to Newark by purchasing the
Newark Normal School, says Mr..
Frelinghuysen.
AS the result of the campaign to
make safer the older and more dan
gerous school buildings. the fire haz-
ards In many of the other structures
nave been lessened and a large per-
centage of the country districts have

Official reports from Havana show
that only two If the seven provinces

From the steps taken 1t Is obvious
that administration officials are hope

There is little doubt that the United

The message sent to Minister Con-
zales and the consuls to be given as
wide circulation as possible follows:
The government Of the United States has
received with the greatest apprehension
the reports which have come to 1t to the
effect that there exists organized revolt in
| several provinces and that several towns
have been seized by the insurrectionists.
Reports such as these of insurrection
against the constituted government cannot
be considered except as of the most sert-
Gus nature since the government of the
United States has given its confidence and
support only to governments established
through legal and constitutional methods.
During the past four years the govern
ment of the United States has clearly and
definitely set forth it's position In regard to

other Regal methods and at this time de-

the present situation in Cuba.

Its friendship for the Cuban people, which
has been shown on repeated occasions. and
the duties which are incumbent upon 1t on

ties to retire. On the contrary, he ap-
pears to be determined to use energetic
and even drastic means to end the re-
volt. His call for volunteers was con-
strued by some officials here as an In
dication that President MenocaI might
fear more defections from the army.
Dispatches from Havana detailing
the developments in Cuba were sent
promptly by the state department to
the war and navy departments, where
they were carefully studied by officers
who had been identified with two In

Special to The EVENING NEWS


Washington, Feb. 15:-Commer-
the recently acquired Danish West
Indies Is the fine harbor at Charlotte
Amalie on the island of st. Thomas,
according to a commercial survey of
the islands, just completed by agents
OF the Bureau of Foreign and Dom
estic Commerce, of the Department
of Commerce. This survey empha-
sizes the convenience of the harbor
as a distributing center for all of the
Lesser Antilles. 1t lies on the direct
line of communication between Eur
0pean ports and the entrance of the
Panama Canal. as well as in direct
line for vessels playing between the
Atlantic ports of the two Americas
or between the Atlantic and Pacific
ports of these continents. 1t Is 1,400
miles from New York. 1920 miles
from the Atlantic entrance of the
Panama Canal, and 480 miles from
La Guaira, the chief port of Vene-
zuela. Its location commands the
Virgin Passage to the Caribbean
Sea, the easternmost gateway to that
body Of water.
st. Croix is the largest. wealthiest,
and most thickly populated of the
three islands. 1t is about forty miles
southeast of st. Thomas and has
large areas of very fertile soil. The
town of Christiansted, on this island,
was the seat of the Danish colonial
government, but Frederiksted, with
a much better harbor, is more i'm
portant commercially, doing approx
imately 80 per cent. of the import
and export business of the island
Sugar is the principal product of st.
Croix, although some excellent sea-
island cotton is grown. The scenery
Is unrivaled in the Antilles, though
not SO typically tropical as some Of
the other islands.
On the island of st. John is grown
the bay tree, from which is obtained
the oil used in the manufacture of
bay rum. The bureaus report states
that the major part Of the bay rum
of commerce comes from the Danish
West Indies.
The foreign trade of the islands
has not been of great importance.
Imports at st. Thomas for the fiscal
year ended March 81, 1916, were
valued at $7s4.sso, and this repre-
ports of the three islands. OF this
total, the United States furnished
s332, 2S6 worth, the West indies s91,-
748 worth, Great Britain sSS,411
worth, Denmark $50.77S worth,
France $13,2S6 worth. Holland $12,-

worth. The United States purchased
$273,625 worth of goods from the
islands in 1915.

of Foreign and Domestic Commerce Is
the work of three special agents who

n. ]. Prison BOARD
ADMITS CHARGES
Most Of indictments Against
State Prison are Admitted
Others Too Sweeping - In
Spectors Submit Report.
Special t. the EVENING NEWS.

Trenton, Feb. 15.---Admitting mos
of the twelve indictments recently
found by the Prison Inquiry Commits
sion against the State Prison, charac-
terizing one as too sweeping con-
clusion," and another as ''mislead.
ing" the Board of Prison Inspectors
today submitted to Governor Edge a
report of its own explaining the de-
fects discovered at the institution
This report says the finding of the in
quiry commission that two years
sentence for q tubercular convict Is
equivalent to sentence to death by
disease Is too sweeping a concfusion,'
and states that the charge that farm
and road camp prisoners lose their OPP
portunity to appear before the parole
board and are deprived of visits from
friends lis misleading"
Admission Is made by the inspectors
that men have been detained in the in
stitution three weeks over the expira-
ton time of their minimum sentences.
The reasons which brought about
such condition were a matter of con-
venience," says the report.
However. the board has no desire
to work a hardship to any prisoner"
1t Is stated. "and believing that the
criticism Is just, has taken steps to
Obviate Immediately any further COM
plant of this character"
With respect to the "brfcking up" OF
the dungeons, the inspectors say: .sThe
suggestion Of bricking up the dun
geons Is presumably figuratfve and has
application only to the old dungeons
under the center. The board was un-
der the impression until quite recent
ly that the old dungeons had been
abandoned and has directed the prin-
cipa1 keeper that the prisoners must
not be incarcerated therein.
The dungeons in Wing should be
left available for use in cases of re-
fractory prisoners unless. some other
mode of punishment other than cor
poral can be suggested. While the
thought of dungeon Imprisonment ma
turally appals sensitive minds, unfor-
tunately many prisoners are not so
Immediately responsive to its use."
The report states that the condi-
tions discovered at the state prison
have been the contention of the
Board of Inspectors for many years,
"but the appeals for money and the
necessary legislation to accomplish
betterments have not met with the
ture." The board, therefore, well
comes the recent agitation and be-
lieves that the result of the study
by the present commission cannot
prove otherwise than beneficial"
The inspectors say they sincerely
hope the legislature will continue
the commission, and asks an oppor-
tunity to confer with the commits
sion and it's counsel with the hope
that the experience of the board
might prove of advantage in working
out proper solution
