PORTO RICAN RULER
FACES QUESTION OF
LACK OF FINANCES
CBy Associated Press

SAN JUAN, P. R, June 22.-When
E. Mont RELY, of Kansas City, Mo-,
recently appointed Governor of Porto
Rico by President Harding, arrives
here to take up his official duties prob
ably in July, he will find an interest
ing political situation brought about
by the fact that the Legislature, which
was in session at the time of the an
nouncement of his appointment, i'm
mediately took recess without pass
ing the government budget for the
year which commences July l. Neither
did it pass tax bills which were under
consideration and which are consider
ed necessary to produce revenue for
the insular government.
The legislature is IN control of the
Unionist Party. Antonio r. Barcelo,
president Of that party and of the
Senate, has received a letter from
Governor Rely requesting that the
legislature complete its work as quick
ly as possible and adjourn. There is
no indication that this request, the
first of the new governor, will be COM
piled with.
Apparently the legislative recess
was taken with the idea that it would
afford Governor Rely an opportunity
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 Office.
Although the budget for the next
two years has not been passed this
does not seem to be particularly worry
ing the legislature. If there is no new
budget at the end of June the budget
now in force will be consumed for an
other year. The present budget calls
for an annual expenditure of approx.
imately $4,000, 900.

OGANSPORT-The annual Ep-
worth league convention of the Lo-
gansport district opened a two day
conference here Tuesday afternoon.
Visiting delegates are here represent
ing every church in the district,
which comprises 10 counties of north
ern Indiana.
LAPORTE-Unless Laporte takes
every precaution to conserve the
water supply this city will face a
water famine according to the super
intendent of the waterworks. The
continued drought has made neces
sary the use of such large quantities
that the supplies in the reservoirs at
the pumping station have been greatly
depleted.

BUILDERS DEADLOCK
settlement TO COME
SOON, SAY LEADERS

Settlement of the builders tie-up in
Richmond is expected within the next
two or three days, according to lead
ers in both the contractors and work
ers organizations Wednesday. The
outlook at the present time is the
most satisfactory since the start OF
the difficulty on June II, leaders
state.
A meeting of representatives of the
Master Builders association and
Trades council was held Tuesday and
an agreement virtually arrived at, al
though neither of the committees
were empowered to act for their re-
spective organization. Mr.. Colvin, con-
tractor for the new junior high school,
acted as a mediator at the meeting
Tuesday and it is said to be largely
due to his efforts that the breach gives
promise of being closed.
Prepare for Meeting.
The Building Trades council ap-
pointed Ernest Gable, business man.
ager of the unions, and Charles Gritty
to represent them in conference with
full power to act. Members of the
Master Builders association say they
will appoint their committee Wednes-
day.
Those interested in the movement
state that a written contract will be
drawn up by both sides and it seems
possible that compromise between
the old scale of wages and that pro-
posed by the contractors will be the
meeting ground for the two to get
together and start building activities
in the city again, it was said

old WATER TOWER,
RICHMOND LANDMARK,
IS BEING DESTROYED

One of Richmond's oldest land
marks is being destroyed.
On the rear of the Elk's club
grounds on North Eighth street
stands an old tower, erected between
so and so years ago. The owner of
the property wished to maintain a
water works system, and in the alb
Sence of a city water works company,
the tower was built. Its capacity was
approximately 200 barrels.
1t was not until eight or ten years
following the erection of this tank
that the local water works company
began supplying the city with water.
There are three cisterns of about 100
barrels capacity each, located on the
Elk's grounds.
Three Story Tower
The tower was built three stories
high, and adjoining a two story brick
barn. The first floor of the barn was
used for horses and vehicles while
the second floor was for the attend
ants.
Trustees of the Elk's club recently
| decided to cement the rear of the
grounds for an automobile parking
space for members of the club. The
purpose is to relieve the congestion
which arises from many cars parked
on North Eighth street in front of the
club building. The space probably
will be so by 20 feet.
/ It was estimated by the trustees that
l it would take at least $500 to place the
old tower and barn in repair. Neither
can be used by the club, so the expense
was considered unnecessary.

LUSTY PIRATES BUSY
IN NORTH ATLANTIC,
GOVERNMENT BELIEF

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The mys-
terry of the sea, born of the disappear
ance of the crew of the schooner Car
roll A Deering, of Bath. Maine, today
deepened and assumed more serious
proportions under investigation of Gov
eminent departments.
The Deering piled up on the North
Carolina beach last January, but not
soul was aboard.
The belief has grown that pirates
are afioat in the North Atlantic. On
the other hand the theory is advanced
that mines. carried by ocean currents
far from their fields. or a monster OF
the deep, may have robbed the vessel
of its crew.
The Deering case is being investi
gated by the state department through
American Consuls.
Join in Probe.

merce have Joined in the inquiry, as

/ freighter Hewitt out of Sabine Pass

peared at nearly the same time the
| Deering came ashore.
! In an official summary of the cases
sent to Consuls the state department
discloses that when the DeeriGs
passed Cape Lookout Lightship, n. c.
January %. bound from Rio de ia
metro for Norfolk, a man other thar
the master reported that the vesse
had lost both anchors and asked thai

Two days later the vessel was found
on the beach in what the state depart
ment describes as in such condition
that there is every suspicion of fou
play having occurred.
Got No Response.
The summary also says that a shor
time after the Deering passed TIL
lghtship, a steamer, the name o
which has not been ascertained, passet
the light vessel and was asked to stoI
and take message for forwarding
but no response was received to tn
