SAN tUAN'S MAYOR ARRESTED
Charged With Destroying Records
of City Water Receipts.

San Juan. P. r., January 2.-Mayor of
this city, Manuel Egozcue. has been
arrested and is held on a $1,000 bail on
the charge, made by insular Official
Inspector Hoist of destroying the re-
cords of the city water receipts, which
constituted the only evidence of alleged
ext. rlsive peculations and embeIzle-
ments.
The allegations against the mayor
were originally made last October in a
petition Of citizens which was present
ed to the government and which asked
for the prosecution Of the mayor. The
editor of The News. which published
the text of the petition was arrested
October 23rd. on the complaint Of the
mayor on a charge Of libel. This ar
rest caused considerable excitement
which ended in the shooting of two
men. Since then three other officials
have been arrested and are being pros
ecuted for alleged shortages in their ac-
accounts and for embezzlements. The
peculations are said to range from
$4,000 to $4,000 and misappropria-
ton of other funds are also alleged.
The arrest Of the mayor today led to
great excitement. Mobs congregated in
the plaza and streets and surrounded
the office of Lawyer Acuna who has uE-
dertaken the defense of a form n city o.
fetal named Rivera who turned state's
evidence. Shots were fired but no per-
sons sustained serious injury.

GENERAL TAFT SUSTAINED
He is Not in a Position to Intervene
in Possession of Catholic Prop
erty.

Manila, January S.-Solicitor 5. General
Araneta. in a written opinion sustains
Governor Taft's contention that he IS
not in a position to intervene regarding
the possession of Roman Catholic prop
erty seized by independent Catholics.
and that the courts must settle the
question.
The adherents Of the independent
Catholic church have seized several
churches and converts and in some in
stances native parish priests have Sc
ceded, new pastors appointed by the
Roman Catholic authorities. Archbish-
op Guidi, the papal delegate has form
ally requested Governor Taft to dispos-
sess the Independent Catholics and re-
store the Roman Catholics, and to use
the constabulary in so doing, if neces-
sary. But the governor has decided
to do so, holding that such action is
beyond the powers of the executive He
also advised an appeal to the courts and
cabled the facts to Secretary Root, VINO
sustained him. Attorney General Will
fey concurs in Solicitor General Aran-
etas opinion which Governor Taft will
forward to Archbishop Guildi 1t is ex-
pected that the latter will institute pro-
ceedings to Oust Independent catholics
who claim that much of the property
belongs to the people. 1t is not thought
that the incident will affect the Frair
lands negotiations proceeding between
Governor Taft and Archbishop Guidi.
