PORTO RICANS
WANT BIG sum
FROM CONGRESS

SAN JUAN, June % Correspond
ence of Associated Press The Porto
IRican legislature has been asked to
send a commission to Washington to
ask congress for a loan of 100000
and for legislation to prevent monop-
ely of land in Porto Rico by large cor
porations. 1t has been proposed also
that the commission should ask for a
preferential tariff on coffee and for the
of a bank for making
oans to farmers.
Advocates of the proposal want the
100000 for educational purposes,
Irrigation, freight steamers, to pay off
the islands debt and other purposes.
1t is also proposed that the commits
sion should ask congress to grant the
Island complete self-government.
These suggestions have aroused
some opposition. Representative Las
ira has declared that the Porto Rico
legislature has full authority to deal
with the land monopoly question, and
that bills in the legislature looking to
that end have been defeated.

CHARGE OF u. OF I.

The University of Illinois has
been asked by the state board of
agriculture to take over the hog
serum laboratory erected at Spring
field a few years ago at an ex-
pense of 100000.
Dean Eugene Davenport and
Prof H. W. Mumford of the College
of Agriculture in the university are

conducting research laboratory in
animal diseases at Springfield.
The question arises, however. as
to whether the university can eff

Springfield where there are so few
facilities for collecting material If
the laboratory were in Chicago near
the stock yards the problem would
be less difficult
The results OF the investigations

committees have been with me
