The administration will consider itself lucky If there are no bloody sequels to the recent assassination of Col. E. Francis Riggs, Puerto Rico's police chief.
 Other American and Puerto Ri. can officials are known to have been marked for death. If terror on 8 large scale breaks loose or the island, you will want to know the background:
 Given Millions by U. S.
 Many Puerto Ricans favor inde- pendence, not as a revolution- ary movement, but as . friendly arrangement of mutual advantage Most of them are concentrated ill the big Liberal party.
 Exploited into poverty by sugar corporations and absentee owner ship, Puerto Rico needs to develop her agriculture and industry and
 must have help from Washington. Congress has provided the Puerto Rico Reconstruction Admlnistra- ton under Dr. Ernest Gruening with $3O,OOO, 900, with the idea of transferring the burden of relief from the Treasury to Puerto Ri- can soil by getting land back in the hands of the people.
 The Nationalist party had only 5000 votes in the last election, but extremists who think they can fur. ther the independence cause by vio. lence are concentrated in 1t and overlap into other political parties
 The two young fanatics who mur- dered Riggs were members, but doubtless acted as individualists Puerto Ricans generally condemned the murder, but respect the nation alist ideal which they see behind 1t.

Racial Hatred Famed

New Deal recognition of eco- homie rights of the people robbed nationalists of the chance to in- cite hatred against the United States on grounds of Yankee im- peralism and exploitation" and caused them to turn to racial ha- tired against Americans which somewhat resembles that of NaziE for Jews.
 American officials must watch their step if they're to avoid caus- ing thousands of more excitable Puerto Ricans, including many in the Liberal party, to join up with the nationalists.
 Sympathy for the Independence ideal and fear of reprisals prob ably will result in acquittal for CampOs and his associates, charg- cd with recruiting an army and possessing arms. Jurors now try- ing nationalist accused of riot murder are said to have re- ceived about 50 death threats apiece.
 Acquittal of Campos would mean a moral victory for the extremists and probably more trouble, where as conviction would tend to make martyrs of the group-and prob- ably more trouble.

ment Of all real estate in 1885, in
stead Of having to wait until 1888.
Having been informed by Com

support the bill as an emergency
measure and seek its immediate
passage.

Death still hovers close to Rud-
yard Kipling, surgeons said to-
day at Middlesex Hospital. where
the famous poet underwent an
emergency stomach operation
Sunday night.
A bulletin issued at 7 a. m.
said:
"Mr. Kipling passed q COM
Portable night. His condition
Is not changed"
Attendants added that his
condition is very grave"
His specific ailment is a perfo-
rated gastric ulcer, the hospital
told the public for the first time.
Hundreds Of telephone calls in
curing about Kipling poured into
the hospital again today, while
at the village Of Burwash, Sussex,
where Kipling was a beloved resi-
dent, his neighbors went to the
town church and prayed for him.
Mrs. Kipling, formerly Of Yer
mont, was at her husbands bed
side all night.

current tour Of duty-eight men
in eight days-was Miller Frank

year-old Ethel Zuckerman, whom
he slew with q bread knife.
Four youthful holdup killers
were jolted into enternity by Elliot
at Sing sing last week. Clark to
day, Albert Fish and John Smith
at Sing Sing Thursday, Bruno
Richard Hauptmann at Trenton
on Friday, and the round Of death
is over.
Clark's execution went off with
the same smooth dizziness that
marks Elliot's each appearance
in the death chamber. He was
escorted to the chair by Father
Farrell.
There were five shocks in quick
succession. Elliot cut the switch
and Clark was pronounced dead.
Albert Fish, next to receive
Elliott's lethal miniStrationS, was
convicted in New York Of the
sadistic Staying Of 10-year-old
Grace Budd.
John Smith, who waits for
Thursday in the death house with
him, killed a man in a quarrel in

believing a 30-day reprieve would
give an opportunity for the un-
covering of new evidence and
might possibly enable him or
Col. Mark o. Kimberling, prin-
cipal keeper Of the New Jersey
State Prison, to persuade Haupt-
mann to tell all he knows Of the
crime.
Hauptmann, however, persists
in his statement he has told all
and has nothing further to con-
feSs. He maintains his limo
cence aIlo some Of those who
talked to him are certain he
will maintain this attitude to
the end.
C. Lloyd Fisher, chief counsel
for the defense, refused to re-
veal the next move in behalf
of Hauptmann. His only COM
ment was that "the logical place
for the next move would be in
a court room"
Fisher conferred with Neil
Burkinshaw and Nugent Dodds,
Washington lawyers just added
to the defense. Both men are
experts in Federal law. Although
Fisher would give no indication
of what tranSpired at the con-
ference it was said they dis

to bring Hauptmann'S case be-
fore the United States Supreme
Court.
Wants Justice Done
If such an application is made
it was considered likely it would
be taken before Judge William
Clark, of Newark, the senior Fed.
eral judge in New Jersey.
No move has been made by
Governor Hoffman or any other
New Jersey official to order DR..

South American trip. Persons
close to the governor suggested
"JafSie" should come back Of his
own accord. Aides Of Attorney
General David T. WilentZ said,
however, they would make no
such request Of Condor.
The governor was in New York
city last night comforting with
several witnesses brought to him
by private detectives. He stated
Hauptmann meant nothing to
him personally, that his only
object is to "See that justice is
DONE"
Legal authorities in Trenton
say Governor Hoffman would be
within the law in the event he
reprieved Hauptmann. He has
authority to reprieve Hauptmann
for 80 days but no longer. If
he desired he could give Haupt-
mann three 30-day reprieveS, or
one 90-day reprieve.
