Porto Rico Supreme Court Hears Certiorari Plea On Ouster Case
In Washington April 24 the supreme court heard Frederick D. McKenney seek a writ of certiorari to the provisional court of Porto Rico over its ouster judgment against Guayama municipal officers. He argues lack of jurisdiction and constitutional issues, with similar challenges in Dr. Vasquez's case regarding citizenship and 1890 election fraud. The court may avoid merit ruling, while government efforts aim to limit recognizance. Civil government authority in Porto Rico remains disputed post Paris treaty. Appointments to Porto Rico include J. Wil. Hollander to be treasurer and John K. Garrison to be auditor. Hollander noted Johns Hopkins affiliation and taxation expertise, Garrison long-time treasury official.
