PLOT AGAEfST E3STTEE DYKASTY Ere M ft-ea ( .wise Declare Crews Frlsie La Is Klllew Father's Mirlmr Before Oww Death. LISBON, Feb. 36 The mystery behind the murder of King Carlos and Prince Lli Is not likely ever to he completely lifted. The new Portuguese government prefers that the crime should be regarded, both at home and abroad, as the deed of individ uals carried away by the political passions of the moment, and inasmuch as the repub licans are also anxious to clear their skirts of responsibility for regicide, both sides are glad to see an Investigation, which would probe the affair to the bottom, amothered. Tet there is undoubtedly much that could be cleared up. It is a matter of commsn knowledge that there were In trigues in high places as well as low before the tragedy occurred and the rage of the leaders and lieutenants of the two "rota tive" partiea against which Premier Franco and King Carlos were warring exceeded all bounds. Frasrs Obi I are te Retire. Premier Franco himself told a friend the day before be left Lisbon (virtually upon the order of the government) that It was Impossible te reveal to the world what he had learned of the Intrigues of the enemies of the king and himself, and It was, there fore, better for htm to retire forever from the political arena. The connection be tween the republicans sund the regicides Is equally difficult to establish. The dis claimers of leaders like Bernsrdino Ma chado must be accepted so far as the "peaceful wing" Is concerned, but this can not be said of the advanced or radical wing, as there is plenty of evidence that they had planned a rising on the night of the crime. Whether the plot aimed at the murder of the entire royal family is likely to remarn in dispute, as the officials view attempts to make it ani"" that crown Prince Luix was killed by mistake. This view, however. Is not supported by the testimony of eye witnesses. One of these., the tutor of the princes, was standing in the arcade at the corner of Blackhorse square as the royal carriage approached. He stood with his shoulder against the shoulder of Boissa, the man who fired the shot that killed the king. (ea Prlaee Kills Mirlfier. As the carriage reached a point almost directly opposite him there was a report from the curb thirty or forty feet behind the carriage. The tutor saw the king straighten up, but he had no Idea that a shot had been fired or that the king was hit. Thinking the explosion waa that of a firecracker he turned to the man at his aide and said: "Take off your hat, it U the king." The words were not out of his mouth before the man darted forward, re volver In hand and running up to within ffve feet of the carriage, fired pornt blank. Tii king sank down, and his head fall for went. In the confusion which followed the tutor saw the man who had fired first kneeling in the street with a carbine at his shoulder, firing shots in rapid succes sion. The crown prince was on his feet as the king received the fatal bullet and the tutor Is certain that it was he who killed the murderer of his father. Boissa waa shot Trom tne Troni xnrougn vne iiea-n.. Whether It was the crown rrlnee's bullet which killed him or not. It is certain that the prince fired twice for two chambers of his patol were empty. Ei-erything goes to prove that the plot was to kill the entire royal family, thus obliterates the Bragansa dynasty, and precipitates a change In the regime.

NEW TORK, Feb. E. H. Harrtman was W years old yesterday. He appeared at his office st the usual time and re mained there until time te attend ths cere monies marking the opening of the new tunnel under the Hudson river. E. H. Harriman at the age of 0 has de cided that he is net ready to follow out hia intended policy of retiring from active work and will continue personally at the helm of his numerous enterprises. He was m years old Tuesday. He says he will not even consider , retiring until the complica tions on the ndustrlal chessboard have been cleared sufficiently to permit him to look ahead at a alear path. He say that until that time ha thinks he ewes It to his O.Of stockholders and 150. employes on his system to stay "on the Job." 'I din't want to say how long I will stay in harness." Mr. Harrtman said last Sat urday in New Tork. "I looked for some of this falling off ! business, but not for one half of what has come." "A wrong Idea prevails of this relation ship of capital and labor. We who manage the roada are not the capitalist. The se curity holders from whom we borrow the money are the capitalists and they are In partnership with tSie wage earners In trying to make a fair jiroflt in serving the public It Is our duty as managers to try to preserve the proper relations between the different fsctors so far as we can. But what becomes of our efforts when un wise government Interference, resulting in such a condition of distrust as prevails at present, Jumbles up all the factors into one conglomeration? "1 believe things will right themselves when people have a chance to understand the situation. I do not lay all blame on the public or ei-en the politicians. The railroad men themselves are a great deal to blame for what has happened and they ought to recognise It at this time when they have their own worries with them. If the railroad men of this country had years ago learned to trust each other, a great deal of what has been suffered would have been avoided. There was a time when they had a right to makftjgreement covering traffic and rates, but what was the result? An agreement was hardly made before some parry to It violated It. That was the root of destructive competition. "There will be work to do when con fidence Is once restored. There are great possibilities ahead if we go at them rightly, in twenty years the population of tills country will reach axi.OOO.onO.

Car shops employing 400 men, to be the center of a new suburb to Omaha, to be located at Seymour park, is what several Omaha business mem foresee In the visit of C A. Rslston of Chicago to Omaha on Tuesday and Wednesdsy. Mr. Rslston sn nounced he waa looking for a site for rail road car shops for the repair of the rolling stock of eastern roads which hsve ne repair facilities In this part of the country. He spent the greater part f the day Wednes dsy at Seymour park looking over the ground. Late Wednesdsy afternoon he left for SV Joseph. He was shown over several sites for the proposed ear shops in the vicinity of Omaha, including South Omaha. East Omaha and Seymour pa?., by Commis sioner Guild of the Commercial club. W A. PeBord and Messra Shimer and Chase. He was entertained at luncheon at the Real Ewtate exchange at noon Wednesdsy and did not finish the trip to Seymour park until about Z o'clock, being acoompanied there by Mr. DtBord and Mr. Shimer by automobile. Mr. Ralston seemed fsvorably Impressed with the Seymour park site, as being the most advantageous and available for his purposea. ' Messrs. Shimer and Chase have submitted a proposition to him for thirty five acres of land approximately In the center of Seymour park through which both the Missouri Pacific and Burlington roads run and only about half a mile from the X'nion Pacific The location of the prqposed Bite is south and west of Deerf leld station. The proposition contemplates the Invest ment of about $150,000 and will employ at least 00 men. The company is capitalised at. $500,000. No bonus is asked from Omaha, the only favor solicited being the moral backing and support of the Commercial club and other - industrial and business bodies of Omaha. Omaha Ccatral Locatloa. Mr. Ralston was very fs-orahly im pressed with Omaha as a site for the pro- posed plant because of Its central Ioca- Hon. shipping and freight facilities, and the further fact thai it is the great gate way of the continent between the east and west. The only ther general plant of the kind tn the west Is at Streator, III. How ever, there are general repair plants at Plattamouth and Omaha, but these are es tablished for special roads, the Burling ton and the Union Pacific, which control them as their own private enterprisea Much general car repairing ia done at theae two pointa. but practically all of the facilities of the shops are utilised for the work of the respective roads, and then they hardly meet the emergency. Mr. rxBord said; "I was much. Im pressed with the direct business methods of Mr. Ralston. He knew exactly what he wanted and It cannot be put too em phatically that he will accept the Seymour park proposition." May Develop Seyaaaar Park. Mr. Shimer of Shimer Y Chase, said: "I do not care to go Into the details, but 'can give the assurance that the deal is j practically settled and that Seymour park will be the location. It waa not the ques tion with Mr. Ralston as to the probable 4 r... i. , K . t VIA anna .r. . -V. t .... jbut the question of trackage facilltlea I housing his employes, the .central location and the nearness to the raw material. He not only In ten da to repair but to build cara. The enterprise is one of the biggest that has come to Omaha in recent years and one of the most Important to the J western country. The location Is but two and a half miles from street car fsciltties and there Is no question but that these will le extended at once; If not by the Omaha Street Railway company It will 1 by the interurban lines. An lnterurban line would almost pay out there now. Thet jCudahys employ about fifty people there during the summer time, which Is increased 'to 200 in the winter. The park is a great natural resort and. is being,. visited by in ' creasing picnic parties every year. With the establishment of the car ahops out there a thrifty community will spring up at once and another wide-awake suburb will be added to Omaha."

Fib. aPresident Roose velt today transmitted 1o congress 1he preliminary report of the Inland Waters ays I'oniTTMssian. accompanying it with a a- ! ctal mcMiape. In which he said in pari: "1 transmit herewith a preliminary re port from the Inland Waters ays commis sion, which a appointed by me last March in response to a widespread lnteiost and demand from the people. The basts of this demand lay in the general and ad- i mined Inability of the railroads to handie promptly the traffic of the country, and especially the rrope of the previous fall. "The report rests throughout Ou the fun damental roncplion that every aaierway should lie made to serve the people ai largely and In as man)- different ways a possible. It is poor business to develop i river for navigation In such a say as H prevent its use for power, when by a little foresight it could be made 1o serve b.ith purposes. We cannot afford needlessly 1o sacrifice power to Irrigation, or Irrigation to domestic water supply, when by taking thought we may have all three. "The commission recognises that ths cost of improving our inland waterways will be large, but far less than would be re quired to relieve the congestion of trsffic by rallwsy extension. The benefits of such improvement will be large also, and they will touch the dally life of our people at every point, uniting the interests of all the states and sections of our country. The cost and the benefit should be equitably distributed, by co-operation with the stairs and the communities, corporations ans in dividual, beneflcally affected. 1 heartily concur in the commission's recommenda tion to this end. Such co-operation should result in united effort in carrying aut the great duty of improving our Inland water ways. While we delay, cur rivers remain unused, our trsffic is pTiodie.ally con gested and the material wealth and natural resources of the country related to water ways are being steadily absorbed by great monopollea Fewer Meaoselr Dlarasaedl. "Among the. monopolies, aa the report of the commission points out, there It no other which threatens, or has ever threatened. bills are intended to ensble the corpors tlons to take possession in perpetuity of national forest lands for the purpose of their business, where and when they plete, wholly ailhout compensation to j M aTr lfmP 'in b- necessary in the west i-lBO- r'trtlt involving- water power .nould granted to any corporation In j perpetuity, but only for a length of tlm, .sufficient to allow them to conduct their business profitably.
