President Theodore Roosevelt appointed him as member of the United States territory's "Executive Committee", appointive precursor of the elective Senate of Puerto Rico, in 1904, which he then chaired from 1912 to 1917, when the committee was abolished by the Jones Act and replaced by the Senate.

During his early years in public service, he continued devoted to his business interests, served as a director of a commercial bank, a trustee of the University of Puerto Rico and president of the San Juan Chamber of Commerce and the YMCA.

He died in Río Grande on March 27, 1934, at the age of 66. Was buried at the Santa María Magdalena de Pazzis Cemetery in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
