I'OUTO PICAS ENVOYS PHOTEST TO
PRESIDENT,
AGAINST HOLLANDER BILL
i| H EEE taxes levied where one
IS SUFFICIENT.
The old Evil of “Taxation Without
Representation” Glaringly Illus
trated— industries of the Island
, m ,,overished and nosiness Stag
nated by the System of Taxation.
They Ask for a Special Session ot
the Legislature—President Will
Recommend Leniency In Collect
ing Taxes.
Washington, March 11.—The President
this morning granted a special audience
i Messrs. Wencesia Borda, Jr., and
\ i , nte Baibas, members of the Porto
Ilican Commission, which was appointed
at tt m ass meeting of the citizens of the
Maud held at San Juan on Feb. 2, to
[iiotest against the law enacted by the
legislature, known as the Hollander bill.
Xni measure provides for the raising of
revenue by property and excise taxes.
The commissioners presented a formal
protest, which enumerated a series of
eighteen objections to the law. It is con
tended that there exists to-day in Porto
j ; 0 three taxes levied and collected for
lie same purpose, “from the impover
ished pockets of the people.” The new
t xcises taxes under the Hollander law,
ti e old insular and municipal taxes and
the customs duties under the Porto Rican
civil government act.
Any of these, it Is held, is sufficient to
cover the budget. Under the bill $500,000
or more will be collected semi-annually
in advance, thereby, the protest says,
Msening the money in circulation (of
which there is less than $2,000,000) and
producing a state of impoverishment and
t -iness stagnation, ae the taxes are
collected by summary process. It is as
serted that the measure is both an in
come and property tax law, that two of
iho principal industries of the island
(r im and tobacco) are taxed so heavily
under it that their production under pres
ent conditions is practically prohibited,
that the only standard of valuation of
property will be the personal opinion of
fhe assessors, and as they may be ap
pointed by political favor there Is a dan
ger of injustice to a large section of the
community from excessive valuation.
The commissioners ask the President
that Gov. Allen be directed to call a
special session of Legislature to
amend the law in a manner which will re
lieve the people of the burdens complained
of and that the Governor be directed to
exercise care in the appointment of the
assessors.
The President gave the committee near
ly in hour and listened with interest to
their statements. He said he did not feel
like exercising his authority for calling
on extra session of the house of delegates,
hut would recommend that the executive
council use the utmost leniency In enforc
ing the provisions of the tax law. The
members of the commission hope to see
the President again In the near future.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Agrlcnitiiral Department Pnihiig
Its Experiments Xiong the
Southern Coast.
Washington, March 11.—Secretary Wil
son of the Agricultural Department is
pushing the wireless telegraphy experi
ments along the Virginia and North Caro
lina coasts. The work is being done by
Secretary Wilson's directions under the
limmiedtafio supervision of Prof. Willis
L. 'Moore, chief of the weather bureau.
Prof. Moore made thus statement to the
Associated Press to-day regarding the re
sults of the experiments so far conducted:
"The most efficient method of long dis
tance transmission has been found to be
from wire cylinders. The new coast sta
tions are being equipped with cylinders of
sixteen wires each and 140 feet In length.
From these cylinders it is expected to
cover a magnetic field of not less than
500 miles. The stations now in operation
are at Hatteras and at Roanoke Island, in
the Pamlico Sound, N. C. Workmen are
beginning the construction of a station at
Cape Henry, which will be the third sta
tion. When this is finished the 'two re
mote stations will be 127 miies apart. The
three points now are connected by a gov
ernment 'telegraph line, but this line will
be abandoned on the completion of the
Cape Henry station. This, incidentally,
will save 'the expense of maintenance of a
half dozen repair stations."

"lam so Glad you are
welh Dear Sister. "
This picture tells its own story of sisterly affection. The
older girl, just budding into womanhood, has suffered great
ly with those irregularities and menstrual difficulties which
sap the life of so many young women.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound can
always be relied upon to restore health to women who thus
suffer. It is a sovereign cure for the worst forms of female
complaints, —that bearing-down feeling, weak back, falling
and displacement of the womb, inflammation of the ovaries,
and all troubles of the uterus or womb. It dissolves and
expels tumors from the uterus in the early stage of develop
ment and checks any tendency to cancerous humors. It
subdues excitability, nervous prostration, and tones up the
entire female system.
Could anything prove more clearly the ef
ficiency of Mrs, Plnkham’s Medicine than the
following strong statement of Grace Stans bury 7
“ Dear Mrs. Pink ham :—I was a sufferer from female weakness for
abont a year and a half. 1 have tried doctors and patent medicines, hut
nothing helped me. I underwent the horrors of local treatment, but re
ceived no benefit. My ailment was pronounced ulceration of the womb.
—I suffered from intense pains in the womb and
ovaries, and the backache was dreadful. I had
leucorrhoea in its worst form. Finally, I grew so
weak I had to keep my bed. The pains weje so
hard as to almost cause spasms. When I could
endure the pains no longer, I was given morphine.
f ■ N|g|snL My memory grew short and I gave up all hope of
RfSrt '<*>■ &&&? getting well. Thus I dragged along. To please
-i """EC my sister I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. Her
inf yfßy answer came, hut meantime I was taken worse
S’ and was under the doctor’s care for a while.
\ ~ “ After reading Mrs, Pinkham's letter, I con
eluded to try her medicine. After taking two
bottles I fait much better; hut after using six
bottles I was cured. All of my friends think my
Iwjyfe f' cure almost miraculous. I thank you very much
| GRACE'S. STANSBURV for your timely advice and wish you prosperity

THE CUDAHY KIDNAPING.
Cullnlian Say* It Had Conic to a
Showdown anil the Police Had
to Arrest Somebody.
Omaha, Neb., March 11.—James Calla
han talked freely to-day for the 'first time
of the Cudahy kidnaping, and admitted
he knew Pgt Crowe well, but said he
docs not know the Cy*lahays. Callahan
denied being with Pat Crowe when he
bought the horse which figured in the
kidnaping.
“They arrested me because it had
come to a show down, and the police had
to do something,” said Callahan. "There
had been so much talk that they felt
that they had to do something, and 1
happened to be the victim. Now they
will go ahead and try to put it on me.
Just to secure the reward; but if I am
given a chance to get at my testimony,
I will come out and show myself to be
Innocent as any man living.
"As I have said before, the police don't
want Crowe. They want to wait until
they have tried me. Then If I am con
victed they will still let Pat Crowe alone.
However, I think that If I am acquitted,
Crowe will come in, as he will then have
nothing to fear.”

Chicago, March 11.—By the explosion of
the boiler in the Doremus laundry, 458
West Madison street, this morning, eight
people were instantly killed, twenty-nine
were Injured and several are missing.
The eattse of the explosion has not been
determined with accuracy as yet, and it
will probably require an official investi
gation to settle the matter. It Is known
that the boiler was old, a second-hand
affair, and there is no record in the of
fice of the city boiler Inspector of any
inspection having been made within the
last year. Pending the verdict of the
coroner's jury, A. L. Doremus. the pro
prietor of the laundry, is held in custody
by the police, and it is the Intention of
the authorities to institute criminal pro
ceedings against him, should the facta
brought out at the inquest warrant such
proceedings.
The list of dead and wounded was diffi
cult to secure. Reports of the number of
dead in the ruine run all the way from
six to twenty. It is known that thirty
six employes of the laundry had entered
the place before the explosion occurred,
because the automatic tlmckeper found In
the ruins, and which was not damaged,
showed that number of registered arrivals.
Two or three were entering at the mo
ment of the explosion, making an approx
imate total of forty employes In and
around the building.
The list of Injure.] Include*, however,
several people residing in the adjoining
buildings, nearly all of which were Imdly
damaged. The most conservative esti
mate by the police concedes that at least
three, dead or altve, are stiU in the ruins;
yet the oearch for bodies in the ruins
came lo a sudden and early dose in the
afteriton and the work of rescue was en
tirely abandoned.
Policemen and Firemen Quarrel.
The cause of the cessation of the search
was a dispute between the firemen and
police as to who was responsible for the
recovery of any bodies wliich might be
concealed beneath the debris. The fire
men said they had performed their whole
duty, and, gathering up their hose, they
retired from the scene. The police said
It was not their work to dig for bodies,
and nolkxly else volunteered to do the
work. The trouble was' brought to the
attention of Police Inspector John D.
Shea, in whose district the accident oc
curred. and he held that the search
properly belonged to the fire department.
Both the police and firemen remained
firm and refused to continue to search
for bodies. While the firemen maintained
that all the bodies had been, recovered
the police asserted that this fact bnd not
Tlpen established, and Police Lieutenant
O’Hara said that the general understand
ing was that more Indies were in the
ruins.
While the firemen were arguing and ex
plaining their respective sides in the mat
ter, the city building department stepped
In.
Building Inspector Kiolbassa sent a
depuly to tho scene of the catastrophe,
and a notice was sent to Jackaon Bros .
agents for the property, to immediately
begin the work of pulling down the walls
and clearing away the debris. Jackaon
Bros, were given two hours to comply
with the order, their failure to do so to
result in the building department per
forming the task. The real estate firm
soon had a number of wreckers at the
ruins, and the work of pulling down the
walls was immediately begun. This op
eration made it impossible to continue
the search for bodies, but the work may
be continued to-morrow.

A HAILAVAY MU SHIM.
Where an English Company Keep*
Its Collection of Criminal Relics.
From Tit-Bits.
"This tomb”—pointing to an exceeding
ly formidable-looking missile of the Os
sinl type—"was found underneath the seat
of a railway carriage In a London-to-Kd-
Inhurgh express. On being opened It was
found to contain nothing more deadly than
a copy of u weekly periodical. The pro
prietors of the Journal In question were
Just then offering a prize to the competi
tor who should best advertise It. and a
couple of very foolish readers Inclosed
copies In lombs and left them lying In
various public places."
Thus spoke to the writer, one day re
cently. the curator of the "Black Mu
seum,'’ attached to the Midland Railway
Company's offices at Derby.
Relics of some of the most startling and
sensational railway tragedies of modern
times are here enshrined, as well as quite
a large collection of those even more In
teracting—because more mysterious—ones,
which have to do with attempted crimes,
concerning which the general publto ha*
never heard.
For Instance, a simple-looking bundle of
parti-colored flags, of the regulation size
and color used by railway signalmen, was
captured one summer evening, after a des
perate struggle, from n mysterious Amer
ican, who was found loitering on th main
line far from station or signal box. Ho
was lot go free by the magistrate la-fore
whom he was brought, as nothing definite
could be proved against him; but the rail
way authorities have a grim theory that
h< belonged to a gang of transatlantic
train robbers, who contemplates! "(lug
ging" the north-bound express, and "hold
ing up" the passengers In true "Wild
West” style.
Another queer exhibit Is a fowling piece
of elegant design, captured from a man
who one night in midwinter Invaded a
lonely signal box at a remote junction and
Invited the occupant to throw up hie
hands. The desperado himself escaped,
and to this day the railway police are
at a loss as to the exact motive which In
spired his act. That It was something
sinister, however, they entertain not the
slightest shadow of u doubt.
A dainty little revolver, lvory-handied
and gold mounted, was found on tho body
of an unknown lady, who not long since
committed suicide in a first-class railway
carriage near Scarborough, on what
should have been her wedding morning.
Another mysterious railway carriage,
tragedy, one which was the talk of Eng
land for days, Is recalled by a pair of
lady's kid gloves—a bout which there still
lingers the faint, sweet odor of stcphanotls
—and a long-bladed, stiletto-like knife.
A fragment of ordinary mottled soap,
reposing upon a worn and rusty pocket
book, is reminiscent of tho career of
Tomlinson, the wotild-be train wrecker,
whose exploits caused something very like
a panic among the company's servants
in the autumn of IS9S.
Four separate and determined attempts
at derailing trains tok placo within a
week, In the vicinity, respectively, of
Northampton (two), Peterborough and
Bedford. The latter it was that, proved tho
miscreant's undoing. A man was tteeti
washing iron rust off his hands near tho
place where the train dashed Into tke ob
struction. and on Tomlinson's arrest ot
■suspicion, some days afterward, a cako
of soap was found on him stained with
Iron rust. Also, concealed in the lining
of hi* great coat was the poeketbook in
question, wherein were noted down tho
exact arrival of the trains upon which
the attempts had been made at the point*
where the obstructions had been placed.
That piece of soap and that poeketbook
sufficed to send their owner Into penal
servitude for twenty years.
The robbery of railway truck* in
transit, and when left temporarily un
guarded In sidings, has of lute years been
reduced to something very like a science
among the peculiar brand of professional
criminals who make a specialty of this
class of work, and very vnrlid and inter
esting is the collection of tools which
has been accumulated at the exi>onso of
the fraternity.
One specimen is shown, for instance,
which might be described as a regular
truck robber's vade mecum, comprising
as It does In one Instrument a jemmy,
wrench, saw. screwdriver, gimlet, wedge,
center bit and pincers.
Other single Jemmies there are. made to
unscrew into several parts, so a* to be
conveniently stowed away about the per
son; and side by side with these latter
are several queer-looking lengths of rub
ber tubing and metal siphons, used by
wine and spirit thieves for tapping the
contents of casks.
Hundreds of gallons of costly llqnor are
often abstracted while In transit, by the
aid of these pieces of apparatus, by or
ganized gangs of clever rascals, some of
whom even go so far as to don complete
suits of uniform similar to that worn by
the company’s servants, In order the bet
ter to prosecute their nefarious calling.
The hlghent class of railway depredator
and the most difficult to circumvent, 1*
the professions 1 forger of waybills. There
are. In the Derby Museum, Innocent-look
ing bits of yellow paper by means of which
property lo the value of thousands of
pounds has been stolen. Printing, en
tries and signatures arc all forged, but
so cleverly as to deceive In some In
stance* even the very clerks who made
out the origins! and genuine documents
and Ihe officials who signed them.
Then there are also plies on piles of
forged ticket*—used mostly by low-clasa
betting men on big race days—note* on
the Bank of Engraving, and had money
of every kind. And In a separate depart
ment Is the "Rogues' Gallery,” where
ranged along the walls are the portrait*
of pretty well all the known criminal*
who make a specialty of railway "busi
ness.”
These portraits are printed by the gross
and copies exchanged, not only with the
chiefs of the detective departments of all
English railways, but with most of those
on the continent and In Amerir*a. So that
a railway "crook,” once arrested and pho
tographed. stands little chance of escap
ing Identification If captured In the fu
ture, no matter where he may choose to
renew his depredations.
EJUX WITH A INOWIUD^.
Daring rnt of Five Hen to Racap*
Dentil.
From the Chicago Tlmes-Harald.
Denver, March 5. Courage, undaunted
by frightful possibilities, enabled five min
er* of Utah to perform one of the mot
daring feats In the history of the moun
tain*—a race with a snowsllde. which
covered nine miles in a fraction lesui than
fourteen minutes.
Thomas Powell. Rube Kendall, Harrv
Brown. George Montgomery and Jose Sar
tana were the heroes of the exploit. Brown
was at the Union depot this morning, eu
route to his home In Cook county, Illinois.
"The race was down the Little Cotton
wood Canyon last Friday morning,” said
Brown. "We were working in the Albion
mine on the divide between the American
Fork and 'the Little Cottonwood. For
thirteen days we had not been able to
leave our cabin on account of the deep
snow, and on the brow f the mountain,
Just north of our cabin was a solid bed of
snow eighteen feet deep.
“Our only chance of making the run at
all was on snowshoes, and we tilted up
with fcxtra light and strong shoes, pikes,
heavy coats and caps, and went hard up
agulnst the proposition. A dozen of the
fellows thought it was good-by for good,
and so did we.
“We began the descent at n fair rate
of speed,when suddenly there was a crash
behind us, and, looking up. we saw a great
mountain of snow tottering Just ready to
full, sinking gradually as the portion
nearest the ground melted away. Jose
yelled at me, ‘Foot It for the bottom.’
Then we saw what was about to happen,
and, without thought for anything but
flight, we started over the hard crust,
sliding along at u rate faster than that
of the average passenger train.
"We were going so fast down tho can
yon that we lost our breath, and as I
passed Jose I saw that he was black In
the fuce. ’Cut It across,’ I called to him.
"He understood, and all of us began
shooting from side to side of the canyon,
each tack giving us time to catch a
breath for the next plunge. There wn*
not a second of relief from the awful
strain.
“Just mm we were about to despair the
snow slide behind us struck a clump of
big trees, sheltend by u huge rock, and
parted. The danger from Him stick: had
passed, but we were than unable to chock
out lirart-tireuklug speed until suddenl t
we struck tlw soft uow at tiu- bottom of
the cunyon and removed our shoe*. f
