During the trip ftom san Juan to
The Pacific Const tho ship caught
fire. and tho charge was mndo cub
scqucntly that the blaze was started
by political enemies of the governor.
Reilly remained In Washington for a
time, ana as no formal charges were
filed against him at the war dOpart-
mcnt he returned To Porto ttiCo with
tho administrations official ap-
proval OF his activities In the island,
Shortly after ho reached San

Offices OF the territorial government
At the samo timo this tempest
was raging In san Juan. Commis-
sioner Dnyila got busy IN Washing
ton.
Resolutions arc now pending In
the house proposing an investigation
of Rloly's administration OF Porto
ltican affairs and seeking his re-
moval from office.
When Daviiia launches ono OF his
attacks on the governor he starts
back In 1909, when Reilly was assist
ant postmaster at Kansas City ana
asserts that IAN Investigation by
congress VIII convince any unblasted
man that Reilly ia totally unfit to
serve AZ governor OF 100000 poo-
pie"
Series of Charges.
Among tho charges which Davila
brings against Reilly nre:
1. That his administration as
governor Qf Porto Rico has been a
succession OF insults to tho peo-
pie" and that almost overnight he
transforms the island from u land
or business and peace into II hot
bed OF disscntiOn and despair"
2. That ho has removed from Of
fice without Just cause competent
officials with long experience and
appointed In their stead men Lack
ing In tho necessary qualifications.
Z. That he has ''intimidated"
members OF the Porto Rican senate
In an effort 20 secure tho contirma-
ton OF his nominations.
4, That he has endoavored to
stir up strife among tho people by
false statements and unwarrantcd
accusations in public speeches"
o. That In "flagrant violation OF
the law" he has roappointed men
to office who had been definitely
rejected by the senate.
o. That ho has announced he will
receive 100000 during the next four
years In office, whereas the salary
OF the governor Is $4,000 a year,
Z. That ho has "unlawfully In
torfered with the courts Of justice
and attempted to intimlda;e the
judiciary"
s. That he denounced the FLAG
OF Porto Rico as dirty rag"
His prlcipai Associate.
Davila says that one of Reilly:
principal associates and counselor;
Ia tho Header of the socialist party
who has proclaimed himself n cham.
pion of the soviots OF Russia anC
who also has announced his affllia'
tlon with the third intcrnationale o,
Moscow, and who has been mos
ribald In his attack upon the teach
ers OF the Christian religion"
Another OF Davilas objection Il
Reilly is the lAtter's views OF how tn,
political parties OF Porto Rico ough
TO be conducted.
According TO the peculiar idea
of Il. Mont Rely" declared Davil,
"all the political parties of tn,
