GOV.ROOSEVELT PLAN DEFEATED BY PORTO RIGO Most of Recommendations Carried Through, Howevej, in Session Ry W. F. O'Reilly IT. Staff Correspondent Sun Juan, Por.lo Rico May 5<U.R> While the Insular legislature in the session just ended enacted most of Governor Theodore Roosevolt's recommendations into laws, it disappointed him by failing to . fleet a reorganisation of municipal administration in the island. 1 The fear Is expressed that this failure may make it more difficult j for Governor Roosevelt when he goes to Washington shortly to persuade the administration and congress to meet Porto Rico's needs. In this first message Roosevelt de- 1 scribed the condition of municipalities as “desperate" and stressed the need for immediate administrative reform. He set before the legislature a proposed new municipal last drawn up by a committee appointed at a convention of municipal officials held in San Juan, it became evident as soon as the project was made public that it could not hope to pass in the form presented. It was considered an attack on municipal home rule and regarded by politicians as a men-* ace to party machines since it abolished a large number of municipal offices. The proposal to give the Insular Auditor the power of appointing municipal auditors, though it meant increased efficiency, was wholly unacceptable, politically speaking, since it would mean the enlargement of the authority of an official appointed from Washington, a principle to < which there has always been strong opposition. Colonel Roosevelt made it clear from the start that he expected the law to be modified and amended.-* He asked only that the main objectives — greater economy and greater efficiency — be kept in mind. He spent the greater part of the last two days of the session in the office of the president of the senate at the capitol, conferr-; ing with leaders and committees, in an effort to shape a law that wonld at once put the municipal-. - "

Captain William H. Stayton. ♦ chairman of the board of the | Association Against Prohibition Amendment, on the witness i stand before the Senate Lobby Investigating Committee, startled the committee when he named six members of the Pres-

ities on a more satisfactory and a sounder basis and at the same time not do too great damage to *the political machines. He left the capitol one morning at 6 o'clock and the next morning at 3:30. The members of the legislature showed undoubted good-will toward him, and many of them a realization of the seriousness of th“ municipal problem. Nevertheless when it came to a showdown they balked at putting through a piece of legislation that would throw a great I number of faithful party workers out of their job. Roosevelt’s attitude in dealing with the members of the legislative branch of the government -won I commendation. He did not attempt to coerce or to bull doze, and refused to threaten to give up his trip to Washington if the bill failed to pass. In this he showed ex- | cellent judgment since there is no , one who can more quickly solidify I opposition here than a continental American governor who tries to ’ play the part of the domineering .and dominating executive.

f ident’s Cabinet who, tie declared, ♦ | were "convinced the prohibition | law was unsuccessful." and I I quoted three members of the Wickershatn Law Observance and Enforcement Commission as telling him "they were working out a new plan for prohibition.”

The legislature granted the gov-' • mor's request for a bureau of • commerce to study and make known the commercial and Indus-: ; trial possibilities of the Island. The bureau will have a full-time ■ publicity man and a New York , branch. The recommendation in the mesI sage that the bureau of labor be given increased importance was 1 accepted and an appropriation i ■ double that of last year made for : it. i Although the lawmakers could not go the whole way with Attor- : ney General Beverley’s plan to give : • the judiciary life appointments, it i increased the term of district : judges from four to six years. The university which has had i the governor's attention since com- - ing to the island was given a morel ■ effective and representative board > of trustees than it had before. | - Membership on the board will now; 1 be held by a representative of the > Fan American Union, thus stress-1 ; ing the island's aspiration to be. the home of an inter-American uni-

The greater part | of the increase will be spent on the teaching of trades in rural schools. The session just ended saw the overthrow of Senator Antonio R. Barcelo for many years the island's political director. It witnessed furthermore a remarkable working agreement between two political gi oups generally regarded as irre- • concilahle, the Coalition and the Alianza. The first composed of so-] eialists and republicans represents! insular liberalism while the Alianza is the party of the conservative land- holders and professional I classes. 80VERN0RFREES MORTICAN WHO DUG OP CORPSE Negro Undertaker Who Substituted Caskets Is Pardoned in Virginia Jefferson. Wis., May 5— (UP) —| Governor John Garland Pollard has pardoned Thomas E. Cook, Suffolk . negro undertaker, convicted last year of “violating a sepulchre" and . sentenced to five years imprisonment. Cook, who disinterred remains of Rosa Wynn, negro woman was sentenced under an old graverobbing law on the statute books i since early Colonial days. More than 900 Suffolk citizens signed the petition for clemency for the undertaker, including jud.gr> commonwealth's solicitor and all members of the jury. Cook returned the woman's body to belatives after the family failed to pay the first installment on the $l6O burial bill. He took the body ! out of the original casket, placed it in a cheaper one, and left it in the ■ parlor of the family home, using two chairs as an improvised bjer. Members of 'the family were | greatly disturbed when they return-I ed home and found it. The committee presenting the*pe-l tition to the governor pointed out Cook later returned the corpse to the grave, and had been granted a permit to disinter the body. Cook claimed the woman's family used her life insurance for other purposes than paying him for burial expenses. oPoison Kills Stock Metropolis, Nevada. — (UP) — Squirrels. carelessness, and a horses's natural desire for oats re- | suited in John Bake losing his best work team and a good saddle horse. The jhree animals were turned loose on a load of hay under which were three sacks of poisoned oats, secured for treatment of squirrels and gophers. Bake had forgotten all about the oats. The horses reached them, broke through the sacks, and 1 the oats worked as effectively on I them as they were supposed to do; i on gophers and squirrels. — _o Kicks Out of Jail Rock Springs, Wyo„—(UP)— Becoming bored with his confinement in jail at Jackson.
