mitted on nn agreed statement of facts

The assoclntlon , claiming that the prosecu
tion In Justice Vlc-n's court was not In
good faith , filed nn Information In the
superior court Klepfor's defense wns that ,
having been once tried on the same charge
and acquitted , ho could not be put In
Jeopardy again Judge Aylcaworth held
that this defense was good and that there
wns no proof that Klepfer wns In collusion
with nnjono In the prosecution before Vien
and therefore It wns a good defense to the
action that he could not bo tried twice for
the same offense.
"Friendly prosecutions" to forestall any
action on the part of the association ,
were commenced josterday before Justice
Vlon against Fritz Bernhardl of the Grand
hotel barber shop and his three assistants ,

NEW YORK , Sept. 11. The Porto Rlcan
relief committee of the Merchants' ncsocla-
tlon has received an acknowledgment from
General Qeorgo W. Davis , governor general
' of the Island of Porto Rico , of the goods
shipped by thnt committee on the transport
McCIellan , which left hero August 23. Gen
eral Davis , after thanking the committee
for the supplies sent , eajg
"Tho fruit and most of the food crops of
the Island nre totally dcstrojed. Upon these ,
as } ou well know , the people subsist , living
from hand to mouth , and without those
there la nothing Intrinsic In Porto Rico , nor
any food reserve upon which they can live
until n new crop Is produced. Neither have
. they the means of purchasing food c\cn
were It hero In abundance.
1 "I believe thnt the great problem to be
solved Is more n question of food than any
thing else nnd to supply this every effort
should be bent. The human animal can
live here with very little clothing and shel
ter , but without food there can be only one
result.
"If my calculations ns to the extent of the
destruction of food supplies be correct the
j stress of hunger will bo 'n Increasing one
j from thla forward for many weeks and wo
must prepare to feed not less than a quarter
| of n million people before the earth can
bring forth fresh supplies. What this meann
Is shown by a single mathematical demon
stration summed up tn the question. At the
I rate of one pound of food per day per person
1 how many pounds of food would it take to
feed 25,000 persons 119 dajs ?
"Wo might BO further In our calculation
by considering the cost of this food nnd of
dlntributlng it , for , even though all tha
military resources of the Island are beini ;
used in distribution , nevertheless the ex
pense of getting the food to the hungry will
be npproxlmntely nbout 8 per cent of the
cost ot the food. This cost cannot bo much
lose than $1 BOO.OOO , even If the diet be ns
proposed , rice , beans nnd codfish or bacon.
Can we got thnt sum ? And If wo can , will
your committee bo able to prevent it going
into anything but the cheapest kind of good
food ?
"I have gone somewhat extensively into
this matter so that you may have n thorough
understanding of the situation and thereby
bo the better able to hell ) us out of our
difficulties "
