been given to the interstate com merce commission formed 45 years ago under the right given congress to "control commerce." Laws add- ing restrictions from the time "the public be damned" policy of the railroads was enunciated, through the trust busting" Roosevelt era have been upheld in the su- preme courts.
 One act, particularly, has aroused most severe controversy. It is the transportation act of 1920, devised to help railroads to get a "rea- sonable" return on their property. r Under the act, the I. c. c. boosted rates instead of reducing them in certain states to prevent discrim- ination, and making it impossible to stifie competition.
 To-day both major political parties are pledged to a policy in- tended to help the railroads. A few years ago politicians appealed for votes on the basis of what they threatened "to do to the railroads" /"
 For decades the public has fought to control the railroads. To-day, a part of it represented by the savings and insurance institu- tions, is calling for removal of that control. The survey intended to bring about the change is non- partisan-to lift the survey beyond charges of politics"
 And it begins during an economic depression with the argument that removal of control will mean money in the pockets of the aver age man, instead of more power for the railroad octopus"

Mahaney And
 Thoms Nominated
Democrats Select State Representatives at Conven-
 ton Last Night

Democrats completed their list of local conventions last night. Delegates to the town convention met in the City Hall and unani- mously renomipated Representa- tives Daniel J. Mahaney and John D. .Thoms for the posts of repre- sentative. The renomination of the two 1ncumbents was expected and the session was marked throughout by harmony. Twenty three candidates for justice of the peace were also nominated.
 Town Chairman John H. Crary called the convention to order. The business of the session was completed quickly, the whole pro- gram being completed in few minutes.
 Representatives Mahaney and Thoms were both present and ad- dressed the convention. They en- dorsed the state and national plat forms of the democratic party and discussed, briefly, the subjects of unemployment relief, old age pen- sions, unemployment insurance and prohibition repeal. They pointed out the need of legislation to take care of all these problems. Representative Mahaney said that he will fight once more, also, for an increase in the amount of ex- emption from taxation for ex-ser- vicemen and their widows.
 Town Chairman Crary spoke briefly on. the campaign and urged all the delegates to do their utmost to get in as many new voters as possible this year.

 Ironically, the threatening let ters, which Judge Thayer and pre- served down through the years, were blown into the front lawn by the explosion. They were found and returned to the justice, who CO., operated with William P. Elmer an, chief of detectives, in search ing them for possible clues.
 It was noted that several of the missives bore New York postmarks and 1t was recalled that an auto mobile, seen speeding from a point near the Thayer, home just prior to the explosion, bore New York license plates. Efforts were being made today to trace this machine.
 A report which authorities re- garded as perhaps significant came from the milkman on whose route the Thayer home is located. He said that when he left milk there at 2:15 a. m. yesterday he noticed a cardboard box, about Is inches long, on the back porch. Miss Ashe, the maid, told police the box was not there when she went out on the porch at s:3O Monday night.
 Governor Ely, who came here yesterday to gather first-hand in- formation about what he termed "the dastardly crime,' kept in close touch with the Investigation today He is expected to ask his executive council to offer a substantial re- ward to spur the hunt for the bombers.
 The homes of virtually all offi- cials who were prominently iden- tified with the Sacco- -Vanzetti case were under guard today.

 A brief period of calm followed in the wake of the storm. Then torrential rain began which lasted all day Tuesday, crippling the ef- forts of relief parties and flooding the ruins of many homes and buildings.
 Relief Work
 Governor Beverly directed first relief efforts toward repair of the water system to prevent the spread of pestilence. With thousands homeless and hungry, the destruc- tion of crops threatened to add to their misery.
 The government had formed an emergency committee the day be- fore the storm. All agencies went into action at once. The war de- partment at Washington promised to rush aid.
 A large number of towns were battered by the storm. They 1n- cluded Humacao, believed to have been the first point struck; Fa- jardo, Bayamon, Rio Piedras and Guyanabo, near. San Juan. Luquil- To was demolished and the village of Canobanas was wrecked. Capital Damaged
 Although the main force of the storm passed slightly south of the capital, which is built on an island off the north coast but connected with the mainland, the city was more seriously damaged than in the 1928 storm. Many casualties were recorded among its 115,0OO population.
 The deluge that followed the storm flooded streets and many buildings to 8 depth of IS inches. The power system was 'paralyze& temporarily. The city was in dark ness as the fury of the wind 1n- creased.
 The storm dropped suddenly af- ter a. m. There was a complete calm just before dawn. Then the rain started in torrents.
 A Pan American Airways plane surveying the damage in the inte- rior reported by radio that the vil- lage of Canobanas was about 80 per cent destroyed; only the church remained standing at Luquillo; sugar mills were wrecked or dam- aged at Luquillo and Sanjardo.
