Hunt Succeeds Alien.

The President has Just appointed
William II. Hunt, OF Montana. to be
Governor OF Porto Rico.
When Governor Allen Lett Porto
Rico in the latter part OF July it was
generally known that he was leaving
for good. Several times before he had
tried to give up the office, but each time
the Administration had persuaded HIM
to hold on for a while longer. When
he left there in July, however, it was
not thought that he would return. On
July % it was announced that Hunt
would succeed Governor Allen to the
post. although the formal appointment
was not made at that time 1t had been
thought for some time that Judge Hunt
would succeed Governor Alien. By
reason OF his close association with Al
len the other had become intimate with
the conditions on the island and was
well able to take up the reins at the
place where Governor Allen dropped
them. The prospect of the continuance
OF such a regime as the Allen system
is pleasurable to IT,. Administration,
and for that reason the decision to ap-
point Judge Hunt was probably reach

Lincoln avenue to Euclid avenue and
then on the Glen Park Place, where
houses were undermined as though built
of straw and almost incredible damage
was done to streets and property.
Over large portion Of this exclusive
residence territory the water rushed with
terrific force, varying in depth from one
to six feet Culverts, trestes and bridges
were torn down and for hours nothing
seemed capable of stemming the tide of
