Washington, March 2.—Demand for a congressional investigation of the acts and conduct of Governor E. Mont keily of Porto Rico, looking to his removal from office, was made in the house today by delegate Felix Cordo- va Davila, resident commissioner of Porto Rico. Govt. Has Not Acted Declaring the people he represented asked that this step be taken, ‘“‘only after the Harding administration was given free opportunity to act,” Mr. Davilla expressed the belief that if Governor Reily should be called as a witness before an investigating com- mittee, “he himself, will be the best evidence of justice of our demand for his removal.” Doesn’t Blame President Preceding a long series of charges against the governor, Mr. Davila told the house that while he bhelieved I’resident Harding made a mistake in cppointing him, he knew “the presi- dent was imposed upon"” and there- fore the appointment was not made “knowingly or with the least malice toward the people of Porto Rico.” He added, however, that *“we have exhausted all of our means to obtain {he removal of the governor by the administration.” Makes Personal Appeal “Unable to convince the president of the justice of our cause,” he ex- claimed, “I appear before you to ask a congressional investigation which will expose to public view the general reputation and conduct of Governor Reily He charged “that Governor Reily announced publicly that he intends to make $200,000 during the next four vears in office, whereas the salary as governor is $10,000; “That he has endeavored to stir up strife and discord among the citizens; that he unlawfully interfered with the courts of justice and attempted to persuade judges; that he disre- garded the sentiments and feelings of the people; that he deénounced the Porto Rican flag as ‘a dirty rag,’; that he would have the Washington government annul the organization act, which provides that the senate shall ratify appointments, “‘unless the nominations were confirmed, which amounts to intimidation,” and that he has attempted to ‘“poison the mind and prejudice” public opinion in the United States “by stating in public speeches that prominent Porto Ricans were disloyal and traitors.” Past Is Shady “I am strongly of the opinion from information submitted to me,” said Mr. Davila, “that an investigation of Reily's past history will show he was not the kind of a man who should have been placed in an important po- sition like that of governor of 1,300,- 000 people. His past is shady to say the least.” Charging that Reily had been re- moved as assistant postmaster at Kan- sas City and that the postoffice de- partment had refused to give him the record in the case, Mr. Davila added: Branded As Inefficient “If he was not good enough to be an assistant postmaster, how can he be qualified to be governor of a dis- tant possession? How can he be con- sidered qualified to recommend the postmasters of Porto Rico? How can we feel sure he will not select men even worse than himself? Succession Of Insults “The administration of Reily has been a succession of insults to the people. When he went to the island, he found a land of peace and happi- ness and almost overnight transform- ed it into a hotbed of despair. He could have had the everlasting friend- | ship and affection of Porto Ricans of all classes had he possessed the least qualification to be their governor. And I-say to you in full truth we can stand no more. The moment has come when our self respect rebeis. We appeal to you for relief from this administration.” | The delegate declared: “There is nothing abnormal in the island but the presence of 1.

Halloran and possibly Henry 8. Tallard would seek the democrat nomination for mayor, party leaders predicted today that the field would be open entirely to Alderman Angelo M. Paonessa, whose candidacy has al- ready been announced. “Campaign Is On, The sixth ward alderman’s support appears to be increasing daily. Poli- tical Agent 1idward A| McCarthy, who is directing the campaign, has named a number of assistants to carry on the work in the wards and he reports that the candidacy of the alderman is ineeting hearty approval. Democratic headquarters arg ng by mapping out a plan of campaign, since it ‘has been decided that every effort shall be exerted by the town committee to aid those seeking the nomination, and up to the present time the alderman is alone in the field. The candidate is decidedly optimis- tic concerning the outcome of the primaries and the election. He has gathered data relative to the republi- can administrations reaching back over a period of eight years and will use this information as a basis for his campaign speeches. His record of service in the council during the past 11 years will also he presented to the voters as additional argument for ad- vancement to the mayoralty chair. Others Approached. In a semi-official way, several of those whose names have been men- tioned in connection with the demo- crat nomination have been approached in the past few days in the interests of the town committee. Statements secured from these individuals are the basis for the prediction by party lead- ers that Paonessa will not be opposed at the caucus. In several instances those approached stated that they could not consider the nomination, while others had not decided positive- Iy, but were inclined to remain out of the race. It is understood that Mr. was one of those name having been prominently con- nected with the nomination. He is said to have given the answer that as yet he has not decided whether or not he will become a candidate. Breach is Feared. l.eaders of the democrat party ex- press open fear of a serious breach in the party should Paonessa lose out at the caucus.

New London larlow, city manager in wddressed a mecting of the New Bfitain Rotary club at the Elks' club today. Mr. Barlow ex plained the plan of the city manager form of municipal government and expressed hopes of its being a success in New London, where it was inaug- urated last November. Mr. Barlow vas city manager in Dayton for seven years, He told of the amount of money needed to run the city of New lLondon under the old method of city govern- ment and hoped to reduce the ex- pense under the new plan. Mr. Barlow stated that it costs the city of New London, with a popula- tion of 25,000, about $1,500,000 to run last ar. The city so had a 3-4 mill tax rate. New Britain with a population of nearly 60,000 people was run for a little over $2,- 000,000 last year with a 20 mill tax rate. The speaker also explained that of the $1,500,000 in expenses, about 350,000 was used for the public schools. New London, however, has three High schools that are under private control. The interest to be paid on bonds is not included in the above amount, Mr. Barlow stated. In this city about $800,000 is used for the public schools but everything to be paid in that line is included in the school budget. New lLondon has about 4,000 school children and New Britain has about D0, In opening his talk quoted Amba dor B e of London who said that a conspicuous failure in America is the government of the ities. e aid that the problem of ty government could be boiled down to three things (1) intelligent inter- est of the public, (2) simple form of charter, (3) good administrative or- ganization.” After reviewing the three points mentioned, Mr. Barlow stated that he believed that the city manager plan was the best form known to bring about these things. The manager {s appointed by the council, which is ap- pointed by the people. Mr. Barlow explained that there is not the red tape in voting a council under the city manager plan as there is in the usual city government. In explaining the benefits of the city manager plan, the speaker said that in New London the city and town clerk has been made one office, the office of the building ‘nspector and the sealer of weights and meas- ures have been combined, there is only one assessor and not a hoard and there is only one treasurer instead of the former four. Mr. Rarlow id that great deal of sympathy for who has been holding a politi fice within the past few years due to the general unrest of the people. Mayor 0.

Washington, March 2.—Unanimous agreement to climinate the cash fea- ture of the soldiers honus except in the case of men whose adjusted serv- ice pay would not exceed $50 was re- ported today by the special sub-com- mittee of the republican members of the house ways and means committee to which the whole bonus question was referred on yesterday. Certificate Best Plan The adjusted service certificate plan was described today at the treasury as “The le r of two evils,” officials , there indicating that Secretary Mel- lon still remained firm in his oppoasi- tion to enactment of any honus legis- lation at this time, which would in any way act as a drain on the treas- ury. Secretary Mellon was represented as having formed nb definite opinion as to the new suggestion but was said to view with less disfavor the pros- peet of providing funds 20 years hence under the service certificate plan than the necessity for raising an estimated two and a half million dol- lars in the comparatively near future, 20 (Years Hence Treasury officials, however, pointed out that in 20 years, there would he more than three billion dollars in government securities maturing which must be met but said even with thig prospect in view it would be less un- desirable to finance for payments over a score of years than to attack the problem at the present. The (reasury was said to helieye that the certificates would be eligible as security for rediscounts by federal reserve banks which wduld enanle member banks to handle what busi- ness might develop from the ioaning features of such a program. 1t was thought at the treasury that while numbers of service men might obtain loans upon their bonus certi- ficates comparatively few of them would allow their securities to be de- faulted for non-payment of the loans obtained. Can Borrow Money In lieu of cash for the other service men, it was agreed to add & new pro- vision to the bhonus bill under which the men accepting adjusted service certificates could horrow immediately on those certificates from banks a to fifty per cent. of the total adjusted service pay, computed at the rate of §1 a day for domestic and $1.25 a day for foreign service. This official statement, given out hy the sub-committee, was issued hy Chairman IFordney and Messrs. Green, Longworth, Hawley, Treadway and Copley, is as follow Official Statement “The elimination of the cash feay ture of the bonus bill where the vet- crans are entitled to more than $50 djusted service pay, but adding a new loan provision to the adjusted service certificate titie which will en- holde such certificates to horrow from any National bank or bank and trust company, incorporated under the under state, fifty per cent. of the sum of the adjusted rvice pay prior to Sept. 30, 1925, This date was fixed because, after that time, the bill as origi draft- able s of laws of 1l «d by the committee for a larger pers conts of loan by the government ind hag not been changed by the sub committee.” wairman Fordney said this plan was expected to meet with general ap- proval it enabled the soldiers who 1 bLe in need to obtain cash immediately after the issuance of the certificates; would relieve the treas- of any large cash payment dure ing the enormous refunding opera- tions, which must carried out in the next two years, and would place no additional tax burdens upon the public. sin 1y ury Details Incomplete. of the to the honnue out and would be Many imendment details proposed hill remain Mr. Pordney id it probably 1 week be- the plan ready fo¢ snbmis- sion to the entire republican member- ship of the committee.
