Congressman Return Home
From a Visit to the
Island

San Juan. Porto Rico, May II. -
That Congress is to take a greater
interest in Porto Rico as a result
of the visit of nineteen representa-
tives who have just returned to the
States after spending a week here
is the impression created here by the
representatives themselves and by the
statement of Representative Towner
of Iowa, chairman of the Committee
on Insular Affairs in the House, that
committee for Congress should
visit the island every two years.
The visit just concluded was in
no way an official one. the represen-
tatives having been invited here as
the guests of the Insular Legislature
through Resident Commissioner Cor
dova Davila. Their presence here
was taken advantage of by represen-
tatives of all interests of the island
to present statements and two days
were given over to public hearings.
The representatives of the Unionist
party, the majority party of the is
land, urged Porto Rico's independ-
ence ultimately as the attainment of
their ideal but the visitors from
Washington were not impressed with

OLD OREGON TO
BE DISMANTLED
Battleship Which Helped An
nihilate Spanish Fleet,
Is Doomed

San Francisco, May 17.-"Good
, bye dear old Oregon" was the senti-
ment voiced by hundreds of men,
women and children during the last
week of the Victory Liberty Loan
campaign, when they visited the
famous old battleship for the last
time, as she lay at anchor in San
Francisco bay. Within a few weeks
the grim fighter of nearly a quarter
of century ago, will take her place
with the "Constitution") in the hearts
of the American people; the Oregon
will go out of commission and be-
come a memory.
A few weeks after the sinking of
the battleship Maine, at Havana, the
Oregon was in San Francisco harbor,
when there flashed across the con-
tinent, on March IL, 1898. from the
Navy Department to the Oregon's
commander, an order to proceed to
Callao (Peru), as soon as possible.
on March II, Captain Charles E.
Clark assumed command, and two
days later began the celebrated trip
around the Horn"
Captain Clark was not advised
that war had been declared against
Spain until his arrival at Rio Janeiro,
April so. Great concern was felt in
the United States for the lonely
Oregon, as the Whereabouts of the
Spanish fleet. under Admiral Ger
vera, which had just left the Cape
Verde Islands, was unknown.
The Nation breathed a sigh of re-
lief, when word was received that
the Oregon had arrived safely at
Jupiter Inlet, Fla, May "a, after
trip of $4,000 miles in 6S days. \
few days later she Joined Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet off Santiago, Cuba,
and she participated in the great
battle of Sunday, July S, 1898, when
Cervera's fleet was annihilated. The
Oregon forced the Colon, the last
Of the Spanish ships, ashore to her
destruction.
Subsequently the oregon steamed
from New York to Manila, where she
was on duty during the American
operations in the Philippines. OF
ate years she has been used for
training school for young sailors and
mas been the feature of many cele-
orations and other events.
She was built at the Union Iron
Works, at San Francisco. in 1895,
and carried a complement of "a Of
icers and 671 men. Her displace-
ment was 10,2SS tons.

NEVER VOTED

Springfield, Ill.-John Lamun,
aged 96, is an eccentric. Here's what
he will and will not do. Has never
voted and says he never will. Will
eat nothing that ever beathed life.
Keeps his clock three hours ahead
of standard time. Will make no
statement under oath. Insists the
correct way to spell his name is
'Iamun" instead of Lemon" as
relatives claim is proper.
Because of his eccentricities, rel
atives attempted to have a conser-
vator appointed for him. But Coun-
ty Probate Judge Jenkins ruled it
unnecessary.
A son of Lamun's said his father
has been doing things according to
customs of 1868. when a great
change in his life began. In that
year, the son says. a group of relig-
ious fanatics converted his father.

CONDUCT TESTS TO SHOW
TIRE AND TUBE DURABILITY
Different Makes Show Varied Resist.
ancc Power, Mtehelin Expert
DeclarcA.

At the suggestion OF tho Michelin
Tire Company. OF Midtown. N. j.. a
series OF very interesting experiments
have just been completed in tho labora-
tories OF Columbia University. with
the purpose OF determining the COM
parative durability OF various makes
OF tires and tubes.
"One OF the most interesting Of these
experiments, says r: b. bramweIi.
was test OF the relative resistance
which different makes OF inner tubes
offer to cutting.
Accidental discovery that inner
tubes vary considerably in this respect
lod us TO make this experiment we
were trying TO cut sections Of different
makes OF Inner tubes sufficiently thin
for examination under the microscope.
Some tubes wc could cut with COM
parative ease. but others caused us a
great deal OF trouble, and we were
never able TO secure a section Of a
Michclin tube sufficiently thin for the
purpose we originally had in mind
We froze the Mlcheln tube We
embodied II in wax. We built special
clamps and secured tho most accurate
and delicate cutting machinery made
and yet we could not cut the Mchclin
tube desired.
This led us to make other expert
ments TO test the relative resistance
OF Inner tubes against cutting from
such causes as the particles Of dirt
or sandy flint which work Inside tires
