Legislature of San Juan Takes Recess Before Starting Revenue Machine to
 Work Raising Funds

San Juan, P. R., June 25.-When F. Mont Riely, of Kansas City. Mo. re- gently appointed governor of Porto Rico by President Harding, arrives here to take up his official duties probably In July, he will find an in teresting political situation brought about by the fact that the iegisla- ture, which was in session at the time of the announcement of his ap- pointment, immediately took recess without passing the government budget for the year which com mences July 1. Neither did it pass tax bills which were under consid- eration and which are considered necessary to produce revenue for the insular government.
 The legislature is in control of tho urionist party. Antonio R. Barcelo, president of that party and of the Senate, has received a letter from Governor Riely requesting that the legislature complete it's work as quickly as possible and adjourn. There is no indication that this re- quest, the first of the new governor will be compiled with.
 Apparently the legislative recess was taken with the idea that 1t would afford Governor Riely an op- portunity to come to Porto Rico and participate in the framing of laws which will be enforced during the first two years of his term of of flee.
 Although the budget for the next two years has not been passed, this does not seem to be particularly wor- rying the legislature. If there is no new budget at the end of June the budget now in force will be contin- ued for another year. The present budget calls for an annual expen- diture of approximately $S,000,0OO.
 The income tax law which has been in operation during the past two years becomes Imperative on July l, unless a new income tax law is passed, or the present law is re- eracted, and there will be no income tax for the year 1920, unquestionably the most prosperous year in the his- tory of the island.
 The unionist leaders are far more concerned regarding the attitude Of the new governor on appointments in the departments than they are with legislation. With the exception or the offices of auditor and commits sioner of education, unionists are at the head of every insular government department. Before proceeding to carry out a legislative programme the unionist leaders want to know what treatment the party may ex- meet in the matter of further ap- pointments by the new governor.
 Having had consideration from Goverrier Maker the unionists are not aferosed to sacrifice any position Of

 New York, June l.)-If you see lady with rose vine hanging from her shoulder and a junebug hanging from the rose vine, don't try to pick the rose or the bug. Take a second look. The lady is doubtless wearing latticework headgear of chiffon and kid. It is the new trellis hat, just arrived on the avenue, and the rose vine with its junebug Is the most expensive part of it.
 Whether the trellis hat or the Winnecke comet was the big event of the last seven days is an open question. Police reserves, however. were not called out to calm that section of the populace which had seen the hat. There's a good laugh somewhere for everybody living out side New York when the news per colates that 8 considerable part of the citizenry of the biggest city of the world fled to the police stations just because a wandering star flicked it's tail 10,000,00O miles above the Woolworth tower
 Perhaps the sweltering weather lent color to the dire predictions of local astrologers as to what the comet would do to the Woolworth tower and Brooklyn bridge. On the first day of official summer, the thermometer shot up to SS; free ice began to be distributed in the con- gested sections, the asphalt skidded under foot, mosquitoes arrived around hotel lobbies, and in twinkling all the joys of summer were at full swing.
 A Wiley Hootch Hunter
 The ice season, by the way, played right into the hands of an enterprts- ing member of the hootch squad Craftily he figured that speakeasies would be needing coolness for their goods and basely he disguised him self as a dare devil ice man. Since he displayed an ice pick instead of badge, his disguise was perfect Five blind-tiger prDprietors formed his first days catch.
 l Bookkeeping, meanwhile, has risen from a job to profession and thence to an art. It is not an art to be practiced by the proletariat, either | One young man has just robbed bank in order to get funds to finance bootlegging route.
 But hootch has not lately con cerned the police so much as the 1 toddle- top, or tee-totum. Twenty 1Vf years ago the game known as pigs in-clover" was played openly in the parlors of the pious. Today it's off spring, the toddle-top is as much beyond the pale as the poker chip or the galloping domino. Tomorrow the police may swoop on the erstwhile 1 innocent tiddle de- wink. But anyway when a detective, on his way tc church, saw 500 men and boys draped 1 from fire escapes and lamp posts and damned 20 deep along the curD he decided to raid the crowd. Like snow in August the youths melted from lamp posts, fire escapes and other vantage points.
