after five days of waiting he con
sidered that action had become
necessity. SO. yesterday afternoon
he sent the following letter to Co

San Juan. P. r., April II. 1922
Mr.. Roman Diaz Colazo,
Fiscal District Court.
First Judicial District,
San Juan Porto Rico,
Dear Sir: You are hereby re
moved from the office of fiscal O.
the first district court, for the jul
dicial district of San Juan, for thu
reason that on the morning o
April 6, 1922, at about 1880 in the
morning you came to the office o
the governor, and in the presence
of Attorney General Salvador
Mestre, and my secretary, j. R
Hull, stated that you desired tC
discuss with me the grand jury re
port, which had been made a day
or two before that time; that yot
said in the presence of Attorney
General Mestre and Mr.. Hull tina
you would get out of the whole
case If ] would appoint You as dis
trict judge Of the first judicial dis
trict of San Juan, in place Of judge
Charles Il. Foote. and you also
said at that time that If | would
appoint you as chief of police tc
fill the vacancy now existing on
account OF the resignation OF
Colonel Stanton, that you would
get out of the case and that would
end the whole matter.
This action on your part consti-
tutes in my opinion, a fragrant
attempt to unlawfully influence the
action of the governor of Porto
Rico, and in view of the same, ]
am not willing that you should
be lenger connected with any Of
flee or position of trust in the
government of Porto Rico, in view
of your attempt to use your Off
cial position in connection with
the grand jury, which was then in
your hands. to compel me to take
action which would be
Illegal and criminal.
Yours very truly.
L. MONT REILLY,
= Governor.

Inc following account of the re-
moval by Coy. e. Mont Reilly of
Porto Rico Of Roman Diaz Colazo,
fiscal OF the San Juan district
court, which appeared in q recent
issue of the San Juan Times. was
received from J. r. Hull. through

the Clovis Journal:
Because he attempted to hold
the much discussed grand jury re-
port over the head of Gov. E. Mont
Kelly as weapon to force his adj
Nancement in public service. Ro-
man Diaz Colazo, fiscal of the San
Juan district court. has been sum-
marily dismissed from office by the
governor. who has also written Of
ficially to Attorney General Mestre
requesting him to commence pro-
ceedings against Colazo.
The official action of Governor
RELY was taken late yesterday aft
ernoon and caused the greatest
sensation throughout the city. CO.

dent Commissioner Cordova Davila
of Washington, who has been
Washington to cause the removal
of Governor Reilly and to bring dis
credit upon the administration.
Also. Colazo has chad charge of
the grand jury which recently re-
turned a report--without indict-
ments-against Governor Reilly, In
sular Auditor Kessnger and Pri-
vate Secretary Hull, which Judge
Charles II. Foote refused to re-
ceive or file: but which was sub
sequently published in local
paper at Washington, and has been
the cause of a rule being issued
against the editor Of the local pa
per to appear before Judge Foote
on the seventeenth inst. and show
cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt for publishing
the report contrary to the orders
of the court.
In his letter of dismissal to CO.
lazo, Governor Reilly accuses him
of visiting the governors office on

General Mestre and in the presence
of the latter and of Private Secre-

the letter intimated that he would,

able, be satisfied with the billet of
commissioner of agriculture and

During his interview" with
Governor Reilly, We are told that
ColaZo gave absolute assurance to
the governor in the presence of the
attorney general and others. that
there was absolutely no evidence
before the grand jury upon which
to base indictments either against
Governor Reilly or Private Secre-
tary Hull.

part of the fiscal. the governor did
not take immediate action, pre-

the truth OF the reasons in ques-
ton, as you set them forth, but
desire to inform you that such

IIallow even, as it is sometimes
called, is the eve of the vigil of all
Hallow's or all Saints Day, which is
on November LIST. This Saints Day
takes its Origin from the conversion
in the Seventh century of the Pan
theon at Rome into 4 Christian place
of worship. AT one time it was cele-
brated on May 1st but was later
changed to November. 1t is a lucky
thing they changed it, for what would
Halloween be without pumpkin face
for jack-o'-lantern?
In the State of Louisiana, they will
celebrate All Hallow's Day by decor
ating the graves as we do on Memoir
ial Day. This is also done in some
foreign countries. However, there is
nothing churchly about Halloween,
for it is relic of pagan. or ancient
SuperStitionS. 1t resembles the Ger
man celebration called, "Walpurgis
Night" when it is believed that the
evil spirits assemble on the sum-
nit of Brochen in the Hartz noun
tains. In England it is called Nut
crack Night"

Abolition of Special Privilege is con
tanned the solution OF our railroad and

of financial control, the readjustment

professional and business man, the
restoration of equal opportunity for

NO man, and no group of men, are
equal to the task of formulating a
new party unless they are brave
enough and wise enough to concen-
trate their attention and devote their
lives to this one purpose. NO leader
will measure up to the leadership re-
quired unless he can picture our tu-
ture state as one in which there snail
be no class distinction, no govern
ment by coercion, and no program
which benefits special interests at the
expense of the public welfare.
THE progressive sentiment today
has manifested itself in many move
ments, each having its own worthy
and particular purpose. Those move
ments cannot in themselves be ANAL
gamated or coalesced, but the spirit
and purpose behind them must be CO.
ordinated and crystalliZed into new
political party which will voice the
lust demands of each.
The Committee OF As has consc-
Grated itself to this purpose as the
highest privilege of citizenship. 1t
asks no financial compensation nor
political preferment. 1t demands on
no one more than he can justly give
of cooperation and support. 1t Is
pledged to no personality, but Is pre-

by their own power of thought, ability
and honesty, will rise from the ranks

1.-THE NEXT STEP

The political murk and fog through
which we have been cropping fer 4
generation has heen dissipated by the
dawn of new era. Under its search
ing rays and the heat of public con-
domination the old order is disappear
ing, ard the advocates of Special
Privilege are shrivelling into nothing
ness.
In the light of the rising sun of
hope and inspiration the mandate OF
the American people for new and
regenorated political party pledged tc
progressive principles having for its
object the greatest good for the great
est number out clear and distinct
This mandate comes from no special
class. The voices Of the worker, the
farmer. the salaTipd clerk, the small
business man, and the professional
group. have merged into one clarion
call for united action.
The mandate has come frCm the
vast majority of those misnamed Re
publirans and Democrats who, in the
absence Of any other choice, have per
functorilv dropped their ballots in the
box of the major parties. 1t has come
from the impressive silence OF the
500, of our electorate who, as be-
tween two evils, have chosen to deny
themselves the right to vote rather
than to place their stamp Of approval
upon either one Of the two parties
equally devoid of principle and both
controlled by the same selfish tinan-
cial interests.
The American people want no half
don al in q
leadership. but they will accept ONLY
those leaders. in or out of our loGis-
latiyc halls. who have the courage and
vision to discard old party labels anC
will stand out clear and distinct as
the fearless sponsors for a new order
responsible to the needs of humanity.
The traps set by the major parties
baited with political preferments are
rUsting in their barrenneSS. The en-
ticing allurements of political patron
age are falling upon deaf ears, and
the aspirant for political honOrS who
listens to this siren voice is no longer
4 popular idol.
1T has been rightly said that no po-
litical party can be founded except
upon a dominant issue which appeals
TO the hearts and the souls OF the peo-
I pie themselves.
That issue is the Abolition of Spe-
cial Privilege, unanimously promu!a-
gated at the National Convention OF
the Committee of As in St. Louis IN
December 1919, and the stone then re
iected by the builders of our political
machinery has since become the cor
ner-stone of the progressive move
tment. The Abolition of Special Privi-
lege was the slogan which elected
Frazier. Sinclair, Shipstead, Brock
hart. Keller, LaFollette, Wheeler
Howell. Frear, Lampert, Beck and
other progressivcs. The advocacy OF
Special Privilege was the flag under
which Beveridge. Dupont, Mondell
Kellogg. Yolstead, Calder, McCumber
Hitchcock, New. Townsend, FREEING
'huvsen, Sutherland, Culbertson, Poin-
dexter, Pomerene, and their fellow re
dictionaries, went down to defeat or
November 18th.
And now the Abolition of Specia
Privilege has become the keynote OF
the program adopted by the Progress
siye Bloc of all parties in convention
assembled at Washington on Deem
Der 1st.
Special Privilege, as established
and fostered by our political presti
digitators. has sown the seeds OF dis

Call For Cooperation of Local

The Federal Prohibition Enforce
meut Agents are up and going with
such a will that it is indeed lucky

far escaped their efficient detection.
The following is a summary of the
work performed by the Federal Pro-

State of Virginia for the month Of
April, 1922.
Number of persons arrested for vlo-
lation of the prohibition laws AZ;
number of illicit distilleries seized and
destroyed 1909; number Of Illicit stills
seized and destroyed 70; number of
gallons of illicit whisky 1872 seized;
gallons of mash seized and destroyed

property seized and destroyed $l1,7S5;
total appraised value of property
seized and not destroyed, S2l, 505.
Possibly the largest seizure ever
made in Virginia was the seizure of an
entire car load Of bottled liquor at
Richmond, Virginia, and the arrest Of
l43 violators of the Prohibition laws
is the largest number heretofore ap-
pretended in any one month since the
organization of the Department.
Now that the force has been fully
reorganized and trained, thorough
cooperation is being perfected with
