PORTO RICO IN
GREAT POVERTY,
GOVERNOR SAYS
Mohonk Lake, , N. X., Ot. 22A-GSov-ernor
Taquer, of Porto Rico,- and sev
eral persons associated "with him in
the government of that island, dis
cussed the needs of the Porto Ricans
today before the Lake Mohonk confer
ence on the Indian and otherj depend
ent peoples. ' ' ; '
.The governor drew a picture of the
poverty and wretchdness of the ma
jority of the people and asserted that
the fundamental cause was over-pop-,
ulation. As a remedy he, - suggested
emigration of Porto Ricans to Santo
Domingo, only 70 miles 'away.
Dr. D. W. . May. superintendent of
the Porto Rico experiment station,
testified to the wretchedness of the ag
ricultural ' laborers. Their numbers
were soi great., he said, that the plant
ers had raised no objection to the ab
olition of slavery because while the
remuty or tne sou nas decreased the
slaves had increased until their own
ers were glad to accept any terms the
government might propose to free
them. Dr. May's remedy for this con
dition was education and the develop
ment of some industries which would
divert lower classes from the coffee
and suga.r plantations.,'
Several other addresses also occu
pied the attention of the conference.

SECOND VlDTIM
OF AUTO CRASH
DIES OF HURTS
Hartford, Oct. 22 Following, the

54 Oak street, died at the Charter

high speed, did not possess an oper
ator's license. The accident occur-
red about 7:30 o clock at a ork oi
th eroads.

That the safeguards for workmen,
established at the U. M. C. Co.. plant
as a result of scientific investigation
of -the force of explosions of various
natures, saved the life of Marion
Mahoney Jewett, became known 'to
day through the investigationx begun
by Coroner John J. Phelan when . it
was feared that the accident of Wed
nesday, would prove a fatality. ;
Had Jewett been working under
the conditions that "used to prevail
at the plant, he would have perished
instantly? , Like many persons sud
denly shocked into insensibility for a
long period, he has lost the memory
of the few minutes prior to the blow
up. He believes the explosion took
place in the vaccuum drying room,
150 feet away from the loading house
where it actually occurred."
Blown into 'the side of a building
by the force of am explosion that de
stroyed! a number of trays of fulmin
ate caps, Jewett will recover.
Jewett was in one of the little
houses facing Pembroke lake and was
sending fulminate charged caps
through a sieve as is customary in or
der to remove any. of the excessive
explosive which always clings to the
exterior of the caps. '
Jewett is unable to tell how the
explosion occurred and insists that he
was in the drying room at the time
"the big boom", as he describes it,
came. Jewett seems to believe that
he had sent the contents of seven
.trays of primer charged caps through
seives and then placed ; them . on " a
rubber tired truck to take to the dry
ing room when the ' explosion occur
red. ' His (Tight-1 ami was fractured
in two places, his right hand severely
lacerated ' and particles ,of the . brass
primers and the explosives struck him
about Ahe face and body. '
It has been established through the
coroner's investigation that the indi
vidual loading houses, occupied by
only one man a ta time, are construct
ed so as to divert the force of ex
plosion from the occupant, and that
while Jewett has seyere-imjuries, he
escaped death because -he did not re
ceive the full 'shock.
