HARDING To ACT
IN PORTO RICO
TANG[E
Plans Visit to San Juan in Au-
gust to Help Out Gov
ernor ToWner.

Fresh political troubles in Porto
Rico, taking the form Of bitter at
tacks on Horace M. Towner, the
new territorial governor, may lead
to personal Intervention by Presi-
dent Harding when he visits San
Juan this summer on his way back
from Alaska, it was learned here
today.
According to reports reaching
Government officials here, the old
fires Of political unrest which led to
the resignation of e. Mont Reilly
from the governorship are blazing
rnerrily again, with the Socialists
and Republicans lined up against
Governor Towner.
Stood Behind Rely.
For many months the President
and Secretary of War Weeks stood
staunchly behind Governor Reilly,
believing that any American who
headed the administration at San
Juan would be subjected. to con.
slant criticism by leaders of the
various warning political factions.
This view is borne out by recent
assaults upon the new governor, al
though 1t was thought for a time
that Towner would be able to har-
monize the differences that resulted
in the downfall Of his predecessor.
Governor Reily's troubles arose
when he named coalition cabinet,
giving representation to Unionists,
Republicans and Socialists, Because
he let the socialists in, he was &C.
cused of being "bolshevistic," and
as the Unionists dominate Porto
Rican politics they soon had him on
the run.
Recognizing the power of the
Unionist party, Governor Towner
named an all-Unionist cabinet and is
said to have given most Of the gov
eminent jobs to members of that
party. This brought down the wrath
of the Socialists and Republicans,
not only because there were no jobs
for them, but because they were
strong supporters Of Governor Reilly
and they resented the change IN
the administration.
100000 Raised for Drive.
No official reports on the recent
political disturbance have reached
Washington from San Juan, but 1t
is reported here that the Socialists
and Republicans have raised a fund
of 100000 to finance a campaign
Of propaganda against Governor
Towner. The governor, however
will have the support in Congress
Of Felix Cordova Davila, the Porto
Rican resident commissioner, who is
one Of the leaders Of the Unionist
party.
President Harding is expected to
reach San Juan the latter part of
August, and probably will spend two
or three days with Governor Towner.
He is expected to deliver at least
one public address in which he will
emphasize the friendship of the
United States for the people of Porto
Rico, making it plain at the same
time, however. that Governor Towner
has the full support of the Washing
ton Administration in the develop
ment Of his political and economic
policies,

Of Representatives which was elect
ed last November there are twenty
three State delegations controlled by
the Republicans, twenty controlled
by the Democrats, and six which are
evenly divided.
II it is ruled that these six can
not vote then no party has a ma

elected.
The next step. according to the
Constitution, is as follows: 'Then
the Vice President shall act as

Coolidge Might Serve.
The only existing Vice President
might be Mr.. Coolidge.
Meanwhile, however, again &C.
cording to the twelfth amendment,
the Senate will be engaged in try
ing to elect a new Vice President.
It will be trying to choose between
the two men who as candidates for
the Vice Presidency got the highest

candidate If he were progress

date were a conservative.
Thereupon this man, instead of
Mr.. Coolidge, would become Presi-
dent.
Such are just some Of the
eccentric and ludicrous chances
which the twelfth amendment plus
a third party would impose upon
the country. They will give the
politicians many nightmares before
the next election is over.
The Republicans meanwhile de-
rive satisfaction from the following
hope, as today expressed by a lead
ing Republican office holder:
Suppose that La Toilette does
run. Suppose that his running does
throw the election into the House
Of Representatives. We have the
Speaker. The Speaker will rule
that that evenly divided State dele
cations may cast one half of one
vote for the Democratic candidate
and one-half Of one vote for the Re-
publican candidate. Our half-votes,
added together, and not counting
Wisconsin, will give us tweuty-four
and half votes, which is a ma
jority by one-half vote. We will
re-elect President Harding by that
half VOTE

Although accused Of murder ir
an affidavit by a Philadelphia
woman, General Prohibition Agent
James Leroy Asher, the phantom
Kentucky colonel of Washington
liquor raid fame, is believed in
nocent by Federal enforcement au'
thorities, following unofficial ad
vices from Philadelphia received
here today.
The affidavit declares that Asher
brutally attacked an alleged boot.
logger during raid, inflicting in
juries resulting in the latter's
death.
Federal Prohibition Commissioner
Roy A. Haynes said he had received
no official notification of the action
taken against Asher and therefore
could take no steps. 1t was in
timated, however, that the prohibi-
ton unit would stand behind its
agent.
asher was acting under orders
Of another Government Official
said Commissioner Haynes. HE
was assaulted and defended him
self"
Edgar N. Read, chief of agents
for the District of Columbia, who
was Asher's superior during his
local career, said he thought the
agent was a victim of lies. He
called attention to the fact, also,
that Asher was unarmed when he
entered the alleged bootleg establish
ment on the raid.
From what we can learn here"
said Read, ASHER had no weanon
on this occasion. He didn't even
have a blackjack. We understood
that the bootlegger began to fight,
and Asher was compelled to fight
back"
1t was pointed out at Federal
prohibition headquarters today that
Asher and all other general agents
were instructed more than a year
ago, by order of E. G. Yellowley
chief Of general agents, to use
weapons only as a last resort.
Since his recent pre-convention
dry drive in Washington, Asher
and his working partner, Agent
Francis Hertzig, also a former mem
Der of the local office, have been
active in Philadelphia. Hertzig, it
was said, accompanied Asher on the
raid in question and was also un.
armed.

Peasants refused to support the
revolutionary govern nm emit and
threatened death to any one who
did.
It is alleged that large sums of
money, consisting largely Of foreign
currency, were found in Stambu.
lislxy's home. Soldiers who raided
the place said they discovered per-
fumes and cosmetics. This news
furnished ammunition for Stambu-
lisky's enemies, as the former pre-
Inier had preached against luxuries
and "the idle class Of women who
wasted money on beautifiers."
A remarkable feature Of the situa-
ton Is the rise in value Of Bulga-
rian money on the exchange mar
ket. The Bulgarian leva is quoted
at higher figure than the Ruma-
nian lei or the Jugoslav dinar. This
is evidently due to the new premier,
Zankoff, who is one of the foremost

LONDON, June 13.-While diplo-
matte exchanges are proceeding con-
tinuously with Paris. Rome and
Berlin, a solution of the German
reparations crisis was obviously as
far off as ever today. The cabinet
canvassed the situation but is NOT
expected to reach q final decision
until next week.
Great Britain has asked France
and Germany to make further ex-
PLANTATION Of their announced poll
cies without attempting to add any
further proposals.
There is considerable pessimism
in official circles but the foreign
office insists it is too early to de.
scribe the situation as deadlocked.
Hope that the United States
would make some move in response
to the latest German offer is dwin-
ding. France Is already on record
as rejecting the proposal Of Secre-
tary Of State Hughes for an in
ternationaal commission OF experts
to determine how much indemnity
Germany can pay.
It is likely the cabinet will con-
suit daily upon the reparations is
sue until there is a decision, but
there is little possibility that Pre-
mier Stanley Baldwin will yield to
France.
In the meantime the British
press is growing more hostile to-
ward France. The Daily Express
pointed out that Great Britain will
pay $80,00O,0 900 to the United States
Friday as interest on the war debt,
although British ability to pay has
been injured by the French stand
on the Ruhr question.

Discuss one-Way Streets and
Will Submit Brief to Dis
trict Heads.

A special meeting Of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Astsocia-
ton at the Raleigh Hotel today to
ascertain ma ority sentiment on the
establishment Of permanent one
way streets in downtown Washing
ton found the following PROPOSE
tions favored in the order named:
/. Restoration of the majority of
highways named in the commission
ersu' order OF last Saturday to a
two-way status.
2. Adjustment Of downtown park
ing.
8. Rigidly limiting downtown
parking to one-half hour.
Members of the association dur
ing the past few days had returned
to Secretary Charles D.. Columbus
more than fifty questionnaires on
the subject. From views therein
expressed in combination with to-
days oral statements a document
will be drawn up for submission to
the District heads as soon as pos
sible.
Favor More Police.
The association went almost
unanimously on record as favoring
numerous additions to the traffic
police force at downtown crossings.
The one-way matter was con-
sidered street by street, representa-
tives Of firms located on Tenth,
Twelfth and Thirteenth streets be.
ing the main speakers.
The widening Of Thirteenth
street from e or r street as far
north as street was strongly
urged by several, who declared they
and other owners Of commercial
establishments on that thorough
fare would rather bear the cost Of
broadening the right of way fifteen
feet on each side and making it
two-way than continue to suffer
from the onc-way restriction. Esti-
mates OF cost of such widening,
submitted last November by then
Engineer Commissioners Keller,
were around $50, 900.
Here are the sentiments Of
several members as brought out at
the meeting or in letters:
e. II. Droop, Droop & Co.: Wants
rigid enforcement of thirty-minute
parking rule and widening Of
Thirteenth street.
David B. Edmonston: Thinks
business would suffer by permanent
establishment of one.way streets,
and that property owners on
Thirteenth street would bear the
cost Of widening. 8$tst
: r. r. Andrews: Believes one-wAy
streets only present. solution OF
congestion problem.
c. Phillips Hill, for electrical con-
tractorss Opposes one-way streets in

as broad as Washington. Wants
Twelfth street two-way from Penn
