gates are all Republicans In fact the
entire legislative assembly Is now Of one
party Each of the seven districts Of
the island sends i've delegates to the
house.
Mr.. DeGetan is well known on the is
land and abroad. He is an author scien-
fist, lawyer and politician. He has pub
1Shed several novels and scientific works
in French and Spanish. but his COM
mand Of the English language is limited.
he IS a lawyer and a graduate Il the
Central university OF Madrid. He was
always a Republican under the mon
archy. Since 1852 he has taken part in
the principal happenings Of his country
IN Madrid as we'll as in Porto Rico and
was one Of the four commissioners sent
in 1886 TO ask Spain for autonomy He
refused to enter into the compact with
Sagasta- The district Of Ponce then
elected him deputy to the Cortes in
1898. General Henry appointed him sec
rotary Of the interior.
There is a great deal Of speculation
as TO what the federal party here in
tends to do. Had they voted, the cleo
ton it is asserted, would have been
very close, as a year ago they carried
the island with a majority Of 5000 votes
For reasons not generally understood
they refrained from voting.
They claimed that they had not a fair
chance to register. that the Republican
party was favored in the appointment
Of election judges; that they were re-
fused registration and that the districts
were gerrymandered. Those in touch
with the party leaders believe that an
attempt may be made in the courts to
nuliify the election on the ground that
II was not a legal contest.
Now that the elections are over, the
people are beginning to look for i'm
provements. It was announced recently
that a five-stOry building would be built
on one Of the most important business
streets in the city; a New York cap
italist on the ground with plans to build
a z00-room hotel and promoters and
men with capital behind them are knock
ing at the door of the executive council
asking for franchises to build electric
railways, to control water power rights.
and to erect docks and wharves- Only
one franchise of any Importance has
been issued so far. The company secur-
ing this franchise is to build a network
of electric roads through the coffee and

BIC POLICE HAUL.
ssMike7 ThompsOn's Resort
Yields Rich Fruit.
Twenty Men Caught at the
Gambling Tables.
WALKED RIGHT
The Police Climbed Into a Hal
Window.
Doors of the Rooms Were Stand
ing Open.

The police raided two gambling houses
shortly after midnight Saturday and be-
sides the keepers they arrested % men
who were 1requenting the places. The
gambling houses raided, Mike" Thomp-
sons place at Up Kansas avenue in the
rooms lately occupied by the Pop
uIist state headquarters. and Harvey
Wheelers place over SIS North Kansas
avenue.
The first place raided was that of
Wheeler on the North side Chief Stahl,
Sergeant Donovan and Officers Boyles,
Hall and Carpenter made the raid They
had no trouble in getting into the room
as the door was not locked. The only
game in progress was craps and besides
the man Wheeler who was running the
game. the police arrested Roy McGre|,
H. Elliott and Frank Jordan, who were
playing the game They found Two dol
lars in cash on the table
The big haul was made at Thompson 5
place. The police put a ladder up TO the
widow in the alley and walked through
the hall into the room. The door was
not locked and when the police walked
in the games were all going full blast
The roulette table. the poker table and
the crap table were doing a good bust
ness when the players saw the police en-
ter. They at once grabbed the money
that was in sight so the officers only got
30 cents in cash.
The officers participating in this raid
were: Chief Stahl. Officers Carpenter,
Ring, Bernard and c. A. Smith. The
men arrested gave their names as fol-
lows: Mike Thompson. Amos Atkinson,
sill Carson. J. H Wilson, J. T. Wilson,
John Clark, H Nichols, J. J. Thomas,
Ben Reeson, Frank Elmore. l. Norris,
B. Brown. J. Sheldon, Frank Nelson, J.
Wright, 7. Jackson, William Simmons,
c. Bass, c. Graves. J. Henderson, T.
Watson and G. R. Burk.
All OF the men arrested in the gaIHb
ling rooms put up a cash bond Of SO
each and the keepers put up cash bond
of $50 The tables and other parapher-
MALTA captured were taken to the police
station except the crap table in Thornp
sons place which was too heavy to
move.
The police had no warrants and would
have been unable to get into the places
had the doors been locked. Since the
search and seizure ordinance has been
declared void, the jointists and gamb-
ling house keepers have become careless
and have left their doors open. It is like
ly that they win now drop back to their
old method of having a doOrkeeper who
will peek through a hole to investigate
the men who desire to enter.
The cases OF all the men arrested have
been set for this afternoon. but the trial

Porto Rico elections as already an

wasted But as a whole, Porto Rico may
go down on record as conducting a re-

that it was the first time her people had
voted without the presence of soldiers

the incidents to this act are but inciden-
