Jose Gomez Atiles, Formerly Of
The Treasury Department Tries
To Kill His Mistress.
Knife Penetrated Her Lungs.

Maria Barbosa, aged seventeen, liv-
ing at Caleta de las Monjas was bru-
tally assaulted last night at her home,
by Jose Gomez Atiles, a man with
whom she had for some time been 1iv-
ing. Atiles used an ordinary butcher
knife and after cutting the woman on
the arms, he plunged the knife into her
breast, penetrating the left lung. Atiles
is :1ow under arrest without bail, and
the woman is at the Municipal Hospital
where it is said she may die at any hour.
The cause of the trouble is said to
have been the refusal of the woman TO
continue the relations which had exist
ed between her and the man Atiles.
Atiles had been without work for many
months and he was unable to provide
for himself or the woman.
For this reason he was ordered
to leave the house. He did this yester-
day morning, but returning about 7
o'clock he insisted on being received.
When the woman refused to do this he
grabbed the knife and made after her.

there should be some fairness and
some justice. If Federal employees
may mingle, and take part, then give
the Insular subordinate the same right.
1t would surely be well for the island if
some office holder would test the cons
titutionality of the General Order under
which he is kept out of politics. This
military law might fall on the first as
sault.
If Mr.. Cruzen is responsible for
the publication of the letter in the San
Juan News to-day, he has taken an TN.
fair position, and should be told SO. II
however, the San Juan News published
it against his will, then his position is
a fair and honest one, and should be
praised.
The public would like to hear from
Mr.. Cruzen as to how the letter came
to be published.

The POiiC0I ShINS Ot Porto Rico
Continued From Yesterday.

Being a Lecture Delivered By The
Hon. Federico Degetau, Before The
Schools of Comparative Jurisprudence
And Diplomacy OF Colombian Univer-
sity:
When the restoration of the Bourbons
took place in Spain the Constitution of
1876 was promulgated and extended to
Porto Rico. In 1887 the majority of
the members of the Liberal party formed
the Autonomist party. It's tenets were
incorporated in the decree establishing
self-government for the Island of Porto
Rico, and in the decree extending to
Porto Rico the right of suffrage to all
male citizens (November 25, 1897.
The main features of this law were
the establishment of a parliamentary
autonomic system. The legislative
power as to the insular matters was
vested in the insular chambers conjoint-
ly with the Governor General. The
insular representation consisted of two
bodies of equal powers-the insular
Senate Called Council of Administration
and the Chamber of Representatives.
The Senate was similar to the Spanish
Senate. A part of it (seventeen of its
mernbers) were appointed by the Gov
ernor acting for the Crown and another
part (eighteen) were elected. Among
the qualifications required by the law
to be entitled to sit in the Council, one
was to have been born in the Island or
10 have had four years constant re-
sidence therein, and other restrictions
excluded from that body persons not
conversant with the needs customs, and
character of the people.
The Governor assumed double
character. He was the representative
Of the national government and the
head of the administration of the col
ony. Acting in this last capacity no
executive order of his was valid unless
by a Secretary Of his Cabinet,
who was to be responsible for it before
he local Legislature.
The veto conferred on the Governor
was limited as follows by the Constitu-
ion
Whenever, in the Judgment of the
Governor General, an act of the insular
parliament goes beyond its powers or
mpairs the rights of the citizens as set
iorth in Article of the Constitution or
,trtails the guarantees prescribed by
aw for the exercise of said rights, or
eopardizes the interest of the colony or
# the nation, he shall forward the act
o the Council of Ministers of the
Kingdom which, within a period that
hall not exceed two months, shall
ither assent to it or return It to the |

New York, Nov. 2S.-The Evening
World today prints the following:
Charles F. Kelly, former speaker of
the house of delegates of st. Louis,

pier to meet him was Congressman
elect James J. Butler of st. Louis.
Buffers bookkeeper. William j. Sui
livan and William Ratigan. a st. Louis
contractor and neighbor of Kelly's. were
his ship companions.
Kelly's face was white and wrinkled
when he left the ship. He started when
an Evening World reporter greeted him
by name. Congressman Butler tried to
smut the reporter off, but Kelly recOg-
nized him as a st. Louis acquaintance
and extended his hand.
For Gods sake let me alone for to-
day [ have nothing to say. 1 have
just received word that my son is dead
and am going right back to St Louis. -

had come to the pier to meet him. Il
