COMMON PEOPLE INDIFFERENT!
'
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.

At a meeting of the strikers today In Lin

of the I'nited States Sleel corporation offi

The steel company refuses to treat with
the men as a union. The company asks
that the men go back at the old scale of
wages and on the old "open shop" plan
No mention of a possible increase was
made.' The men, on hearing the communi

of regulating the tralllc problem of London
had not yet been serious'' taken In hand.
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.
A new form of bullet has been discovered
which promises to revolutionise rifle shoot
ing. It Is almost exactly similar to the one
now used in the army, excopt that Instead
of being flat-nosed It tapers to a fine point.
This slight difference, however, has' been
found by army musketry experts to give
the bullet certain overwhelming advan
tages which In actual warfare might, all
other conditions being equal, gain victory
for the side that used It.

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.
But an all Important condition appears
to be fulfilled. The sanction of all of the
prefects of the departments Is required as
well as that of the municipal authorities.
M. Vacher considers that the Bcheme has

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.) Judge Boucher completed the crlm

Into the Jiiiyroom. Tho itiscussion m un
case Is going on quietly, a glimpse of tha
room showing I he Jurors lounging about In
isiinfortnlde attitudes.
The exhibits furnished tho jury included
the telegram sent by Attorney Fred Miller
of Spokane to Orchard lit Caldwell, the
telegram sent by Jack Sltnpkins to Hay
ar...i auvlnir bo could not net a lawyer to
defend Orchard, the Prtttbnne letter to

sent by Haywood to SinipkliiH In Decem

alleged by the state.
BOISE. July 27. The Jury In the case ol
William D. 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.
