' Ther Take Life It nines, with Little Thought of Politic Wealthy Mm Greatly Divided. TJSBON. July J7. (Special.) Everywhere the question la being naked when the for tuguaaa revolution la going to break nut In full earnest. But that question ran only be answered by turning to general prin ciple. Portugal today Is being governed by military dictatorship, led by King far log and hla truated prime tninlst er and j friend, Smior Franco. In the rapltol of Lisbon, at folmbra, the aeat of the uni versity at Ctntra. the beautiful suiuini-r reiiort of the wealthly, and In fact, through all of the chief centera of population a state of alege has bn declared as tliu most efTertlve means of enforcing the rule of the dictatorship. (m paper this looks more serious than It really la more serious than actual practice. H means that the Inw which !n Portugal corresponds to the habeas corpus acta in Kngllsh speaking countries, has been sus pended, and that persona taken in charge on political grounds may he dealt with by summary procedure of a military court, or shut up out of harm's way without the pretense of a trial It all. The surface indications of thia state of affairs are not however, very apparent, even to the casual onlooker. Certainly them are more mil itary' uniforms to be seen Just now In the streets of Lisbon than during ordinary times; the public buildings, the markets, the lire brigade si al Ions are under guard and one meets detachments of armed soldiers and sailors inarching and counter marching through the streets at odd In tervals throughout the entire twenty-four hours of the day. Hut on the other hand business la going on as usual; the social life in all of the cities Is Just as gay, as free and as careless as It always bus hocn. In the lower quarters also the people go about their tumal avocations nnd carry wonderfully patched clothes and extreme poverty In the manner In which they were, born. Just as though they have no appre hensions that they are living over a po litical earthquake Just as though the word revolution, had never been mentioned from one end of the land to the other. Politicians Iteanunalble. And no matter whether the revolution, If It comes, proves popular or unpopular, the general Impression Is that It Is due largely to the intrigues of active politi cians; that la, the troubles, are caused by members of the late Cortes, who were suddenly relieved of their duties a short time ago by a sudden sort of "prides purge," the result of the movements of Senor Franco. Then, these Intrigues are undoubtedly being participated tn hy a large number of the members of former administrations anxious to get back Into public life. Of the mass of the people. about 60 per cent are officially returned as Illiterates, and of course this proportion la quite outside the pale of Intelligent co operation in politics. When the majority of the population cannot read or write, it ran easily be seen that the doctrine of the rule of the majority counts for little or nothing In politics. Those who possess voles exercise them In the jnain at the dictation of their employers or as the re sult of the influence of the clergy, and the selling of votes in public Is a thing most common In Portugal. Of the re maining 40 per cent, not more than one half vver take any active interest In poli tls. i H remains, therefore, that In Portugal politics are the portion of the wealthy. In the lower quarters and among the peas ants one never heats political discussion going on. In the wine houses the men take their wine and play carda contentedly. The Wealthy Are Agitators. In the wine houses and the rcfctauranls sf the wealthy, however, thing are en tirely dtnVrent. At Koclo. for instance, are two fashionable cafes Cafe Suisse and an other. Here from ( o'clock In the even ing until 6 o'clock the next morning all Is sdtement of voice and gesture and dis cussions regarding political situations are constantly going on. The average French man la has expressive than the average Portuguese when engaged in a friendly argument with an opponent or when voicing his pet opinions. Here, In this Cafe Suisse, for Instance, the actual troubles have been and are being hatched, and the extraordi nary thing about it all seems to be that the plots and the Intrigues are shouted out at the full strength of men's voices for all the world to hesr. and yet no ar rests appear to be made for the purpose of nipping agitation in the bud. It may be taken for granted that, the well dressed habitues of the Cafe Suisse are the real fomentors of the trouble, and they are divided Into so many parties and factions and fractions of parties that It would bo extremely difficult to get together twenty five of them who could agree upon any one particular line of policy. 1'nder these circumstances It Is, of course. Inevitable that the preaaure must find re lief somewhere. And the pressure tn the main has foiuld a vent In mnba sacking and looting the various cafes and restaurants, the Cafe Suiase, the headquarters of the conspirator, strange- as It may seem, be ing Included In the list of the restaurants which have suffered severely. Certain dark hints are being thrown out as to what nay take place In Peoember next, but no Justification can be found for fixing that erlod sa the date for the settlement of all things Portuguese. 'Meanwhile the king, who la openly pronounced a traitor and a glutton, appears to be enjoying life and one might almost aay appears to be enjoy ing the revolution. It gives him some thing new to think about and detracts from the monotony of things. Another Federal lajanrtloa. MONTGOMERY. Ala..

He favored a tratllc tribunal modeled along the lines of the public service commission of New York. Puling the last few years miirly. if not all transportation companies in London had enrried millions of people at a loss, lie was glad that a beginning had been made to agree upon a moderate increase of fares on a basis which would give 'a, chance of some reasonable return on the large capital Invested. One Authority Advantageous. The advantage of placing the transport of Ixindon under one authority was obvious. Under the law the ultimate cost of the acquisition of the 'tubes by the people of London would, he said, amount to a very large figure. But to help forward the work of providing London with the most economical and efficient system of trans port they would be .prepared to consider uny suggestion whereby the municipality would acquire an Interest In the tubes. In other words, they would be prepared to ' grant to the municipality the tight of ! purchasing the tubes at dates to be agreed ; upon at a reasonable price In consideration I of the municipality providing a portion of i the capital expended for their construction, lor as an alternative lending Its credit for the purpose of raising the capital expended upon the construction of the tubes at a reasonable rale of Interest. The want of sympathy for private enterprise had had an unfavorable effect genernlly!lle agreed j with Lord Rothschild as to the effect of "socialistic tendencies." He hoped that all those in authority would realize that It was imperative that all Impression of capital being threatened should be dis pelled. He believed that the government would show by, their acts that they appre ciated to the full the Importance of credit and the confidence of the Investor.

MEAT TRUST INVADES PARIS Everything Will Go Swimmingly If Consent of Prefects May He Secured. PARIS, July 27 (Special.) M. Marcel Vacher, chairman of the Society of French Cattle Breeders, has given some additional Information regarding the mysterious scheme for an alleged American Meat trust in this country. The undertaking has so far advanced that land lias been bought at Bonneuil on the Marue, at Granville, near Havre, and at Villenave d'Ornon, near Bordeaux. Thus the scheme appears to be as near forward in the two latter places a near Paris. Plana for the buildings have been drawn up and the three municipal councils concerned have sanctioned them.

N C. July 27.--Develop ments came thick anil fasj In 1 lie railroad rate law controversy today. Warrants 'were Issued for President I- Inlev of the ! Southern luilwny nnd City Ticket Agent O i C. Wilson of the same road. The warrant i for President Flnli y was placed In the 1 hands of a policeman who went to the I Battery Park hotel to serve the papers upon the executive head of the Southern. lt j t lie meantime arrangements had been made ' for habeas corpus proceedings before Judge I Pritchard to secure Mr. Flnley's release. ! The policeman did not succeed In rendu Ing ttie police court with hlk prisoner. Just as he was ready to leave the hotel a deputy United States marshal walked Into the hotel and took charge of Mr. Finley. When the police officers called at the hotel for Mr. Finley the latter was eating breakfast anil requested that he be al lowed to finish bis meal. His request was granted. In the meantime Mr. Flnley's private secretary got into communication with Judge Pritchard, who, it Is believed, cut his own breakfaBt short and canui down town and issued the writ, which was served just as the march to the po lice court hegnn. The warrant against O. ft Wilson who recently was sentenced to thirty days on the chain gang for vlolutlng the new rate law and who was released on habeas cornus i ,)roce(,d)llK8 bv JuaB. prltl.imrd m the United States court, was sworn out before Police Judge Reynolds, who figured as a witness In the habeas corpus proceeding. Wilson was selling tickets to Luke Toxaway when taken into custody and many pas sengers, it Is 'said, were compelled to board the train without tickets. General Counsel Tliom and other of ficials of the Southern" left last night for Raleigh fd consult with state officials there in an endeavor to arrive at a settlement of the differences existing between the rail road company and the state. The attorneys who remained here were greatly disturbed by the new turn of events. Federal Authorities Watehfal. It is stated here today that the move ments of Police Judge Reynolds are being directed from Raleigh, but Judge Merriman, counsel for the state ln the previous habeas corpus proceedings when Division Passen ger Agent Wood was arrested, disclaimed any knowledge of what was going on and has appealed to Governor Glenn for In structions. United States Marshal Mllllken has arrived from Greensboro, which Isbe lleved to show that the federal authorities were not taken by surprise and the pres ence of several deputy marshals of known courage and determination is commented upon. In the police court Judge Reynolds post poned the trial of Ticket Agent Wilson un til Monday. The railway company, through counsel, offered bond for Wilson, but Judge Reynolds said he would take personal charge of the prisoner. Later he remarked that Wilson could "follow him around all the time If he wanted to" and then walked off. Wilson went in an opposite direction and was still at liberty this afternoon. It Is assumed Judge Reynolds postponed the case to give the state authorities an op portunity to send additional counsel here. W'as Actually Cnder Arrest. While It was taken for granted that Mr. Finley would be released, much interest was aroused by the habeas corpus pro ceedings. President Finley himself and all the officers involved were called to the witness stand to relate the circumstances of his arrest. The police officer upon whom the writ was served by Judge Pritchard, denied that he actually had Mr. Finley In custody or that the railroad man was actually denied his liberty. The deputy marshal testified he had found Mr. Finley actually in the custody of the po liceman. The arrest of Mr. Finley was sworn to by an officer, probably at the Instance of Police Judge Reynolds, and It appears doubtful whether the federal court can resort to contempt proceedings against the state authorities In this Instance. After his release President Finley authorised the ' gram.)

Haywood, secretary-treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, charged with the murder of Former Governor Frank Sleiinenberg, retired to consider its verdict nt 11:01 a. m. today nnd Judge Wood Immediately ordered receBS at 11:01 a. m. until 2 p. iu. The reading of the Judge's charges and Instruc tion required Just un hour nnd at the end of that time the twelve Jurymen filed from the room in custody of the Sheriff Hodglng and six bailiffs. Haywood listened with characteristic! stoicism to Judge Wood's lengthy charge and when the Jury retired he wont back; to his cell with a confident smile about his lips. As he was about to leave his gray haired mother rushed up nnd kissed him. No one ventured an opinion as the Jury retired as to the length of time that would be required In arriving at a verdict. The Jury remained at luncheon less than twenty-five minutes, returning to their de liberations at the court house at 12:10 p. m. At 12:18 Judge Wood gave Instructions to have the Jury taken out to luncheon. At that time they had been deliberating for an hour and fourteen minutes, and, as they left the Jury room several of the, twelve men were engaged In animated but ap parently good natured discussion. As a matter of fact, the discussion began al most before the Jury room doors were. closed after the Jurymen first retired. The only discussion heard about the court room following Judge Wood's charge was to the effect that the defendant had received strongly the benefit of every doubt in the Judge's mind as to the law applicable to the case. Choice of Five Verdicts. Judge Fremont Wood gave to the Jury the choice of five verdicts, as follows: Murder In the first degree; murder In the second degsee; voluntary manslaughter; Involuntary manslaughter and not etillty. The charge contained sixty-six Instruc tions. Judge Wood dwelt at length upon the laws of conspiracy and the value of the evidence given by an accomplice. "The law views such evldenre with dis trust." he declared, "and it should be re ceived by the Jury with caution and scru tinized with gteatcare. And If from the evi dence it appears that any favors have been extended by the authorities to Orchard and there is any promise relating to further favors on aceouunt of his testimony they are proper matters for the Jury to taku Into cqnsld.'ratlon." Judge Wood's charge was lengthy, con taining more than 12.OU0 ' words and cov ering the i ase from almost every view Dolnt. It was regarded by both sides as j eminently fatr. If anything. It was tha consensus of opinion that the court leaned to the defense, ln regard to the corrob I oration of Orchard. Judge Wood said that the Jury should test the value of such evi dence rtS- eliminating his testimony with 4 view 10 ascen a iiiuia i, .uiw ,. im pendent testimony tending to connect tha defendant with the offense. 'This cor roborating evidence," the court contin ued, "need not be sufficient of Itself to es tablish the guilt of the defendant, but Jt I must tend in some degree to implicate and conriect'the defendant with the commission ; of the crime charged. '" I Leans Toward Defease. I Further along In his charge Judge Wood I said: ' "If it Is possible, for you to reconcile tha 1 facts In this case upon any reasonable ; theory consistent wilh the Innocence of tha j defendant. Wllllanc D. Haywood, it ls your ' duty to do so and find the defendant not I guilty. I "The Jury ls Instructed that the flight ol ; Jack Slmpkins. if you find such flight to have taken place, standing alone would not ! of Itself Is- any evidence of the guilt of j the defendant. But If you find that Slmp ! kins did, after the arrest of Orchard, flee or ' become a fugitive ffom JiuUlce, then that fact may be taken Into consideration, to gether Willi nil the other tacts of the case, ' In determining whether or not Slmpkins I was a member of the conspiracy, which iine siaie lias hihiiiii iu pruve sou 01 wnu n conspiracy It is claimed by the state that the defendant was a member." The court room was but half filled when Itbe Jury fih-d In rhortly before 10 o'clock. ! Il.jywood came in sm.liiig and bowed a inclination lo bis wife. Ids mother, his two daughters and sister, the entire family being present. As Judge Wood took the bench the twelve Jirvmeii. who sat directly In front of him. wheeled In their chat's, turned their bricks upon the defendant and his attor neys and listened attentively to ihe lengthy rhn rge.
