 the Island

New York, August 8. - President Roosevelt is in strong favor in the island of Puerto Rico and would be supported for a third term, says Miguel Angel Garcia Mendez, speaker of the House, who arrived today aboard the Porto Rico liner, "Coamo". He will proceed to Wash ington to confer with Governor Elect William D. Leahy, who assumes office in September. succeeding Blanton Winship.
 Not only has Roosevelt insisted that sugar planters of Puerto Rico be treated like those of Hawaii, says Dr. Mendez, but the President has accorded Puerto Rico all the courte- sies of state of the union.
 Labor legislation under Roosevelt's regime has raised the prevailing wage of sugar and coffee workers tc about 25 cents per hour, or $2 per day as compared with the former l6 cents per hour and $1.46 per day Wages of needleworkers have also been raised, said Dr. Mendez.
 Dr. Mendez said he was en route to Washington to confer with IT Ernest Gruening, of the Department of the Interior, about the cancella- tion or at least reduction of the loan made in 1894 for aid to coffee and sugar planters for hurricane damage. He says that this loar amounts to about million dollars

 Other passengers included H. B Orde, an executive of the Interna- tional Telephone and Telegraph Corporation; and Miss Mary Began high school student from Bergen field, N. J., whose trip was the prize awarded by the Propeller Club oi America for the best essay on the American Merchant Marine.

proximately as follows:

In a surprise move, the Senate

domestic producers a considerably

Agriculture Department officials
indicated they would try to block
the bill in the House. If they fail,

Applause that must have rolled
clean out of Stone Mountain, to

the tidings from the first battle
of Bull Run came in.
Audible sobs and visible tears
came with the scenes of Atlanta

From their fourth row seats the
four Confederate veterans, all o.
whom fought in the actual battle Of
Atlanta, leaned forward in their
seats. with handicapped ears, as il
straining TO recognize the face OF
a friend or the anguished cry Of
hurt comrade.
The applause and soos were in
