BO NOT RECEIVE DOUBLE RENT.
Real Facts in the Hull-Kennedy &
Carter Case.
In tho case of John L. Hull, assignee,
against Kennedy & Carter and others,
In which Judge Archbald rendered an
opinion, discharging the rule to take
oft the compulsory non-suit, a misap
prehension seem3 to have been gained
that the defendants have been receiv
ing full rent from two parties during
tho period named In the lease. Tin
fact is that but 18 per cent, of tho Hull
rent has been paid. Half of the Carter
Kennedy building on Washington ave
nue was built according to plans and
specifications made to be satisfactory
to . 1. nun, who desired to lease the
structure when completed. In fact, the
original plans were changed at a ma
terial extra cost at his suggestion.
He leased the building In April, 180r,,
for five years, but made an assignment
Oct. 1 following. The assignee paid
two months' rent, nnd after a year or
more the auditor's award gave one year
preferred claim from Oct. 1, pro rata.
On the balanc- term less than
IS per cent, hat .1 paid.
The building was subsequently leased
to Hill & Council, which firm pays $1,
100 a year less rent than was Indicated
In the terms of tho live years' lease
with Hull. Thus it can readily bo seen
that the landlords have not been re
ceiving double rent for their property.

Dr. P. II. McAndrow. assistant sur
geon nt the United States military
hospital In San Junn, Puerto lllco,
with tho rank of first lieutenant, and
of whoso presence In this city on a
leave of nbsence mention was made
In Saturday's Tribune, speaks very In
terestingly on the present and future
of the Uttlo tropical Island now a part
of this country. In chatting over the
present condition of affairs to a Tri
bune yesterday he said:
"I llrst landed In Puerto Rico on
Aug. 2, 1898, with Ocnernl Schwnn's
brigade nnd saw active service In
few small battles until Aug. 13, when
the pcucc protocol was signed. I was
then stationed nt Mnynqucr. until July
10, 1SH9, when I was ordered to San
Juan, where I have since remained.
"San Juan Is tho largest city on the;
Island, with a population of about 33,0)3
nnd is a fairly up-tn-dute place. Amer
ican customs arc being gradually In
troduced, the natives evidencing a
great desire to learn them nnd also
the English language, but while they
may learn the former It Is not so easy
with tho latter. - am of tho opinion
that the present generation will never
learn It, but the rising generation will,
as it Is tho only language taught In
the public schools which are being es
tablished on all parts of the Island.
The children come Hocking to these
eager and anxious to learn.
NOT MUCH INVESTING.
"Has there been much American cap
ital Invested on the Island? No, there
has been scarcely uny, owing to the
present unsettled condition of the gov
ernment of the island and until con
gress gives it a legal status I do not
think there will be much Invested.
"There Is opportunity, galore, how
ever, for the person desirous of In
vesting money in the Island. It Is un
doubtably the most fertile country In
tho world and there Is a great chance
for the cultivation of tropical fruit,
every variety of which may be found
wild In all parts of the country. Tin
oranges, bananas and cocoanuts are
ns fine as nny grown In any part of
the world. If a fruit company was or
ganized it would have to be along the
lines of the Boston Fruit company,
which has extensive plantations In Ja
maica nnd a special line of freight
steamers of Its own.
"The island Is in a very devastated
condition Just at present, as It Is only
slowly recovering from the effects of
the terrible cyclone which ravaged It
last August. This destroyed tho crops
to such an extent thnt the coffee and
sugar yield for this year Is only thirty
three per cent, of what It generally Is.
"Tho present government of ths
Island Is, of course, military, the man
In charge being General Davis, who Is
governor general, with headquarters at
San Juan. The military force consists
of two regular army regiments, the
Eleventh Infantry and the Fifth cav
alry. There are also six companies,
composed entirely of natives, which
were organized under tho direction of
Secretary of War Alger, the idea being
in time to have the Islands garrisoned
entirely by natives, the present force
to serve as a nucleus. The natives
have adapted themselves readily to the
art of soldiering and will In time prob
ably make very good soldiers.
PROVISIONAL- COURT.
"The administration of the laws is at
present in tho hands of a provisional
court, consisting of Chief Justice Pet
tlnghall nnd Majors Dlmmlck and
Thomas.and a number of native courts.
Tho provisional court, however, Is the
only court of any Importance and It
probably has the greatest scope of any
In any civilized country In tho world.
It tries all kinds of criminal cases from
assault and battery to murder, and
also all kinds of civil cases. The state
law of Massachusetts and some Span
ish law Is what obtains.
"Tho people of the Island don't hope
for admission as a state for many
years. What they do want Is to be ad
mitted as a territory and given a terri
torial form of government.
"In regard to the question now be
fore congress as to whether the prop
erty of the Catholic church In the
Island belongs to tho church or to the
municipalities, I am of the opinion that
congress will decide In favor of the
church. Tho Spanish government built
the churches and turned them over to
tho church authorities, and now that
tho Spanish have evacuated the islands
tho various municipalities are claiming
the properties. The peoploof the Island,
that Is, the male portion, nre not re
ligious, being exceedingly indifferent.
The various Protestant denominations,
whose missionaries are now working
in the island, are not meeting with
much success.
"The general climate of the Island Is
very healthful, tho average tempera
ture being SO degrees and the minimum

It was learned yesterday that this
letter was called forth by the reported
presence In this Held of Mr. Williams,
of whom Taylor's Directory company,
five years ago, purchased the good will
and copyright of tho Scranton City
Directory for a period of twenty-five
years.
"I desire to call tho attention of tho
public," said Mr. Taylor, "to the fact
that legal steps will bo taken to pre
vent any Infringement upon our rights
by outsiders seeking to confuse or de
ceive our patrons by underhanded
methods of soliciting. Our directory
Is a local Institution wholly nwncl

allowed to come Into Scranton nnd
violate our copyright or other legal
rights without a fight from us In self
protection." That tho Mr. Williams who Is said
to be anxious to re-enter the directory
field In Scranton after having sold out
his rights nnd titles to the Tnylor
company, is likely to encounter snng3
If this be his ambition, was the opin
ion of eminent legal counsel who on
Saturday examined the papers In the
case.
DEATH FOLLOWS REMORSE
Lackawanna Switchman, Who Lost
All His Fay Gambling, Found
Crushed to Death in the Yard.
At daybreak, yesterday morning, tho
mangled remains of Calvin Woodrlng,
a Lackawanna switchman, were found
on a track In the "empty" yard, about
200 feet west of Washington avenue.
His body was almost cut In twain, one
arm was severed, and his hips were
crushed to a pulp.
In a memoiandiim book found on his
person were the following paragraphs,
written on three different pages:
Bridget. I can't face my chlldicn. For

That Is how I came to meet my end.

Woodrlng drew his pay Saturday. He
was not scheduled to work yesterday
and consequently had no occasion to
be about the yard.
The remains were taken In charge
by Undertaker Cuslck nnd after being
dressed were removed to the fanillv
home on Oak street. He was 33 years
of ago and the father of five children.
The funeral will tako place tomorrow

TO CLOSE THREE SCHOOLS.
Health Officer Allen Has Made Use
of His Power.
Health Officer Allen, acting In ac
cordance with the power given him by
tho board of health at last Friday
evening's meeting of that body, has
ordered that public schools Nos. 33, 16
and 21 bo closed this morning, on ac
count of tho alarming prevalence of
diphtheria and scarlet fever among
tho pupils attending these buildings.
The entire buildings from basement
to roof will be thoroughly fumigated
and disinfected under the personal su
pervision of Dr. Allen himself. They
are to bo kept closed as long a time
as is thought necessary by tho health
officer, and he expressed himself yes
terday ns saying this would probably
be about a week. School No. 35, which
was closed last week by authority of
Controller Barker, will not be opened
today, but will be kept closed until
Wednesday, upon tho advice of Dr.
Allen.
There aro upwards of 1,500 pupils
attending the three schools to be closed
today.
It Is not thought likely thnt any
moro of the schools will bo closed
at present, as the districts In which
tho closed schools are situated seem
to lis the storm centers of the present
epidemic of contagious disease.

ONE REGIMENT IS
TO BE DROPPED
THIRD BRIGADE TO UNDERGO
REORGANIZATION.
It Now Has Five Regiments and the
Number Is to Be Reduced to Four,
The Companies That Will Be Dis
banded Are to Be Determined by
the Marks Given During the Com
ing Inspection Force of Colonels
Will Also Have to Be Reduced.
The Work of Inspection.
Tho Third brigade, of the National
Ouard of this state, of which the Thir
teenth regiment of thts city Is a part,
Is to bo reorganized, The present num
ber of rive regiments Is to be reduced
to four; one of tho five colonels now In
the service to be honorably discharged,
and six companies arc to be disbanded.
Mnjor W. S. Millar, Inspector of tho
Third brigade, returned to the city last
evening from his annual tour of In
spection, and spoke Interestingly to a
Tribune man regarding the reusons for
the change. Tho major said:
"There nre now five regiments In tho
Third brigade, namely, tho Fourth,
Eighth. Ninth, Twelfth nnd Thirteenth.
Of these, the Ninth and Thirteenth
have twelve companies each, while the
other three have only ten companies
apiece. In tho regular United States
army all of the regiments are organ
ized like tho Ninth and Thirteenth,
with twelve companies, or three battal
ions ench, and each brigade has four
of these regiments. It Is the Intention
to have ult tho regiments in the state
guard conform to this regulation.
"To do this It will be obviously seen
that It will be necessary to disband sK
companies, lenvlng the requisite forty
eight companies, where there nre now
llfty-four, and one colonel will, of
course, have to be dropped.
"That there may be no lll-feellns
over the dlsbandment of the companies,
it has been decided thnt the nix com
panies having tho lowest Inspection
marks at this Inspection be the ones
to go out of service. -This gives ench
company In the entire brigade an equal
chance, and tho Thirteenth boys want
to look lively this week If they want to
get through with high marks. When
I announce In my report, which will bo
sent In about Feb. 10, which companies
have tho lowest percentage, then Ad
jutant General Stewart will announce
which of the five colonels Is to be hon
orably discharged,
"There Is another matter also which
the members of tho Thirteenth should
see to at once. Tho new law govern
ing tho national guard provides that
each regiment must have Held music,
but doesn't specify what kind. Every
regiment in the brigade except the
Thirteenth has a regularly organized
military band, so it has been decided
that band music Is to be tho kind
adopted. The Thirteenth members
should sec to It that a band be or
ganized In keeping with tho regula
tions."
The major also announced that there
will be a division encampment this
year at either Lewlstown or Gettys
burg, the exact location not having
been decided on as yet. A division en
campment means the whole guar f
the state encamped at a certain place
ut the same time. Tho last one hell
was In 1S97 at Lewlstown.
MATTER OF CONJECTURE.
Just who the colonel s who will bo
honorably discharged Is a matter of
conjecture. It Is understood, however,
that Colonel C. Row Dougherty, of
tho Ninth, who Is the only colonel
now serving who was In active ser
vice In 189S, will not be removed and
that tho choice will be between tho
other four colonels.
Major Millar will Inspect the vari
ous companies of the Thirteenth regi
ment all this week and the first of
next week, commencing this evening
at the armory with Company K to
night. When tho Thirteenth has been In
spected the major will have completed
his year's work. Last week he In
spected the following companies: Mon
day, Rattery C, Phoenlxvllle; Tues
day, Company A, Fourth regiment, at
Reading; Wednesday, Company D,
Eighth regiment, Harrlsburg: Thurs
day, Company I. Eighth regiment, Har
rlsburg; Friday, Governor's troop,
Harrlsburg; Saturday, Company H,
Fourth regiment, Harrlsburg. Tha
major was accompanied during tho
last four Inspections by Adjutant Gen
eral Stewart and Rrlgadfer Gener.ii
Oobln, commander of the Third bri
gade. The staff officers of General Oobln
have arranged to give a banquet In
his honor on the evening of Jan. 26 In
the Commonwealth hotel at Harrls
burg. Among tho Invited guests nr-j
Governor Stone, Adjutant General
Stewart; Surgeon General Shoemaker
and tho following colonels; Colonel
Hoffman, of the Eighth; Colonel
0'N"il of the Fourth; Colonel Watres,
of the Thirteenth, and Colonel Clem
ent, of the Twelfth. There are only
two of General Gobln's staff officers
In this city. Major Millar and Cap

A courageous deed was performed n
