Gan Remove Corrupt Men.
"The Porto Ricans have complete and
absolute autonomy in all their munich
pal governments. the only power over
them possessed by the insular govern
ment being that of removing corrupt or
incompetent municipal officials. This
power has never been exercised save
on the clearest proof of corruption or

die the interests of the people of the
island; and under such circumstances
it has been fearlessly used to the i'm

a power with which 1t would be safe,
for the sake of the island itself, to dis
pense at present. The lower house is
absolutely elective, while the upper
house Is appointive. This scheme Is
working well; no injustice of any kind
results from it, and great benefit to
the island, and it should certainly not
be changed at this time. The machin.

angry over the charges of the Storers

the remarkable interview published
crediting Mrs. Bellamy Storer with
the statement that she and her hus-
band had created President Roose-
velt,' Mrs. Storer Tuesday said that,
while she had seen newspaper wom-
an Monday night and had said some
Of the things credited to her, the re.
port as published gave an entirely diff
ferent complexion to everything said,
and that undue prominence had been
given to certain incidents related dur
ing the interview. While unable to
deny that such an interview had been
given, she said that so incorrect and
garbled a report had been published
that it did not give her views or state
nlents, and she did not want it to be
considered as coming from her. Be.
yond this she refused to discuss the

portant professionals and insiders In
every case 1t has been a realizing of profits
on a huge scale. The effect was to lib
crate securities to the amount of many
millions of dollars, thereby increasing the
floating supply. and al the same time stimu-
lating the courage of the bears and in
ducing the creation of a considera BILE new
short interest. Offerings of stock were abb
sorbed by the public with unexpected
freedom, and the wholesale marketing of
shares was accomplished at comparatively
small expense of values. Technically, the
market position was strengthened by ths
shifting of ownership and by the renewal
of short selling. There has been, and for
that matter still is, danger to market sta
bility and permanency by reason of the
fact that successive advances have been
made during the last two months by the
purchases of bulls alone. One set of bulls
would buy from another set, which in turn
would get back into the market at still
higher level of prices and recover the same
securities, the operations being repeated
many times.
