it was only through the chaffing gossip
of a friend that the story leaked out
Among the friends who knew, there was
considerable sympathy felt for the victim
The plausibility of the tale would have
made almnet any victim susceptible and
the added heart Interest of the beautiful
young Stpanlsb noblewoman gave the final
fillip to the affair.
The rinkerton detective agencv late last
year sent out a warning against this Iden
tical gang, with the Vigo headquarters or
with headquarters at some similar Span
ish coast town. In this warning the plot
wss detailed, but the variations given ln
each separate case so appealed to the cu
pidity of the person addressed that It was
rarely their efforts were fruitless. In
Mr. Clarke's case the heart Interest, coup
led with a perfect knowledge of his father
was responsible for his failure to detect
the ewtndle.

Mr. Clarke did not like to discuss the
affair yesterday. "It's quite true that I
1'd make a speculative Investment last
Iiooember." he said, "and it was not suc
cessful. I bad to borrow some money to
do it. but I shall repay this soon.
"I suppose you heard of a note being

yes. I got bitten badly, and I should not

OUR RULE IN PORTO RICO
Intelligent and Informed Statement
. of Conditions on Island.
GRANTS PAPS. Or.. March 28. (To
the Editor. The Washington dis
patches as published In The Oretronlan
recently represent Luis Munox Rivera
as saying that Porto Rico was gov
erned better under Snanish rule than
under American administration, and
that American occupation had ruined
the chief Industry of the island, that
of coffee. He further states that for
merly the price of the article was J35
a hundred pounds and that It Is now
but 9. and he attributes this to the
loss of the foreign markets.
Mr. Rivera knows that what he U
z 11
stating- Is a deliberate misstatement,
and that It is made for the sole pur
pose of discrediting the administra
tion. This has been Mr. Rivera's policy
from the first, and he and Balbas. pro
prietor of El Heraldo Espaldo, organ
of the Spanish colony, are largely re
sponsible for the anti-American feeling
in the island. As the American people
do not know Mr. Rivera, a few facts
may throw a little light upon his pur
pose. Mr. Rivera was a thorn ln the side of
the Spanish government, I am told, and
he was finally given an important of
fice to keep him quiet. When I went
to Porto Rico, nearly seven years ago,
he was in New York, and from that
safe shelter was attacking the Ameri
can Administration. He then came
back to San Juan and organized the
Unionist party, and by an appeal to
the prejudices and ignorance of the
masses, lined them up with the anti
Americans and secured control of the
House of Delegates. Since that time he
has dictated the policy of the House,
and has been unrelenting ln his war
fare on everything American. His slo
gan Is "Absolute Independence of Porto
Rico;" and that means Luis Munoz
Rivera for dictator. In this he has been
ably seconded by Balbas, the afore
mentioned proprietor of El Heraldo.
Rivera has been the House of Dele
gates, and until near the close of the
last session he has used the Speaker,
Don Diego, as his pliant tool. At last
the Speaker rebelled, and as a result
Mr. Rivera came out with a manifesto
withdrawing from the Unionist party
for the purpose of organizing an "In
dependence party." As to the work of
the last Legislature a. quotation from
La Revlsta de Puerto Rico, received to
day, will give a clear idea. Editorially
it says: "The closing session of the
Legislature will become historical. Its
policy of obstruction, we are informed
and believe, was deliberately p'.anned.
Most certainly, it was consistently fol
lowed. One ot the distinguished mem
bers said to us recently that the pur
pose was to discredit the present 're
gime' and cause such an impossible
Btate of things as to force the situa
tion upon the attention of Congress."
Letters received from residents of the
Island in today's mail tell of the re
fusal of appropriations to complete
roads that are nearly completed, want
ing only connections to make them
available, without which they are prac
tically useless. And this whole policy
has been dictated by Luis Munoz Ri
vera, the man who makes the complaint
referred to ln the Washington news.
Some facts and figures will show
whether the conditions are worse un
der American rule. The development
of business will indicate the trend of
progress.
When Mr. Rivera says, coffee brought
J35 a hundred under Spanish rule, he
neglected to say that it was in silver,
or one-half that sum.
The last I bought at wholesale last
May cost me $15 American. The Amer
ican market is not open to the coffee
planters because the American people
do not like Porto Rican coffee. ' Nearly
the whole of the crop goes to Europe.
But it would be Just as well for Porto
Rico If the industry should be elimi
nated. The coffee harvest comes at
the time when the children should be
in school, and as a consequence the
coffee region is the rone of ignorance.
Then it is the breeding ground of the
pestiferous hook worm, the parasite
that causes aenemia, the deadly plague
of the tropics, it breeds ln the damp
clay soil of the cofTee plantations, and
it can never be wholly eradicated while
these breeding places exist.
The commerce of the island has more
than quadrupled since 1900. The out
put of sugar has enormously increased
and the planters have become wealthy.
The American Tobacco Company has
spent millions in developing that in
dustry, and as a consequence wages
are double what they were seven years
ago. The cultivation of oranges, grape
fruit, pineapples and cocoanuts has as
sumed large proportions.
Land in many parts of the island
has inoreased In value from 100 to 1000
per cent. In the first seven years of
American rule there were constructed
more roads than in the 400 years of
Spanish rule. In addition to this, since
the American occupation there has been
developed a splendid school svstem that
compares favorably with our own. This
however, does not please demagogues'
of the Rivera type. Intelligence must
not be too widely diffused if they are
to maintain their leadership.
In 1900 the exports from the United
States to Porto Rico amounted to $4 -640.449;
and the Imports from Porto
Rico were 3.078.648. There has been
a steady Increase up to the present
and In 190S the exports and imports
were respectively 22,677.376 and J25 -891.
281.
Five years ago I had occasion to tell
a relative of Mr. Rivera that I con
sidered his distinguished cousin the
most dangerous man in Porto Rico
and after five more years of intimate
acquaintance with his work and in
fluence. I can repeat this with emphasis.
I do not believe another government on
the earth would have permitted such
treasonable utterances as those com
ing through the organs of Rivera and
Balbas.
Porto Rico is prospering mightily,
and were the demagogues muzzled we
would have 'there soon a happy, con
tented and prosperous people.

JAPS FEARFUL OF CHINA
JUDGE BEATTT SATS XO PLANS
FOR WAR WITH IT. S.
Ex-Federal Judge Returns From
Globe-Trotting Trip and Talks
of Brown Men.
t
Judge James H. Beatty, ex-TTnited
States District Judge for the Dis
trict of Idaho, who retired from active
service two years ago, was in Portland
yesterday on his way to Boise via Spo
kane, after having spent most of the last
two years on a tour of the world. Judge
Beatty resigned the Federal Judgeship
two years ago and since then, accom
panied by Mrs. Beatty, has traveled ex
tensively. They journeyed through Eu
rope. Egypt, Palestine. Arabia, India
and spent some little time ln China and
Japan. While in the land of the little
brown men Judge Beatty took particular
interest in studying conditions, and espe
cially the feeling of the people toward
the United States.
"The Idea that Japan or the Japanese
are antagonistic to America is a mis
take," said Judge Beatty yesterday. "The
people of that country have enough to
take care of themselves and are not look
ing forward to, nor do they desire a war
with the United States or any other na
tion. In fact. Japan will do weU to pay
off the enormous Indebtedness contracted
ln her late war. and this will require all
of her attention for the next 15 years.
I am now firmly convinced there Is no
danger of a conflict between this country
and that for at least 20 years, and per
haps never. It is true the Japs are drill
ing vast armies and building new war
ships, but these are not for use aeainst
the United States.
"The Japanese have a contender much
nearer home, and one that will have to be
reckoned with seriously some day, and
th-at nation is China. The 'Flowery
Kingdom' is waking, slowly but surely,
and when it comes to a realization of its
power and resources the Chinese is the
nation to be feared and not the Japanese
and it is because of this noticeable awak
ening that Japan is making warlike prep
arations. The two races are old-time
bitter enemies, and Japan has many hold
ings ln Manchuria and China which will
have to be protected, and it will require
vigorous protection on the part of the
Japs when China does awaken and be
comes a world power, as it seems likely
to do.
"All talk of Japanese antipathy to
America and Americans is not borne out
by facts. Everywhere ln Japan I noticed
the greatest of courtesy extended Amer
icans. The promipent Japanese who are
good students of sociology attribute the
anti-Japanese sentiment in America to
labor agitators and sensation mongers,
and not to the rank and file of the Amer
ican peopl."

After passing a resolution amending sec

lire-saving devices wherever necessary, the
Charter Board concluded its labors last
night. As a member of the revising com
mittee remarked, the revised charter does
not represent the kind of a charter the
members would recommend, but rather
represents the best that could be done in
the way of remodeling an old Instrument.
The Board also passed a resolution cov
ering amendments passed in 1907 under
which the bonds and interest for the ad
ministration of the Water Department
were to be paid by taxes. Instead of this
method, the amendment provides that such
administration shall be maintained from
the revenues of the Water Department.
This also cancels the provision by which
the city shall pay Into the water fund
the sum of $50,000 a year for water con
sumed or furnished to the city after the

A resolution was passed providing that
the cost of laying water mains shall be

Colonel. One of the iron doors almost
removed the scalp of the veteran Army
