King Carlos and Crown Prince
Assassinated.
Capitol Graft Trial Harry Thaw at
Matteawan Student Lost His Life
In Fire Governor Hughes New
York's Candidate Secretary Taft'a
Recommendations.
A boy king, who henceforth will be
known as Manuel II., Is today, the
ruler of the kingdom of Portugal, and
tbe revolution into which the Instiga
tors of the bloody events had hoped
to plunge the country has not yet in
the least engulfed the nation.
All Portugal is overwhelmed at the
killing of the king and the crown
prince. Though torn by dissensions
the past few months, terrorized by
crime and bloodshed, uprisings In
the streets, outrages with knife and
bomb, and always fearful lest these
signs of revolution would culminate
in some dreadful outburst of passion,
Portugal was not prepared for the
blow that fell Saturday when King
Carlos and Prince Luiz Philippe were
shot to death In a public place, where
thousands had gathered to greet their
home-coming.
Early Sunday morning Premier
Franco proclaimed the accesion of
Prince Manuel to the throne; the na
val and military chiefs and high dig
nitaries 'of state swore allegiance to
the new king and Portugal still lived
under a monarchy. t
No more beautiful day could be
Imagined than that which hereafter
will make the date on which King
Carlos and Crown Prince Lulz met
their death at the hands of assassins.
Returning from a sojourn at the
king's estate at Villa Vlcosa, accom
panied by the queen, the crown prince
and the Infant Manuel, the sovereign
seemingly was In happy mood when
he Stepped Into the carriage in wait
ing at the railroad station.
The assassins, numbering six in all,
boldly ran up to the sides of the car
riage and poured in a hail of lead be
fore the stupefied escort could Inter
vene. The king and crown prince,
half rising, fell back Into the cush
ions, the blood gushing from many
wounds.
The coachman brought hj8 whip
across the flanks of his horses and
with a bound they dashed away, dis
appearing into the Arsenal quad
rangle. The panic stricken people,
who had fled on all sides, could see
the queen leaning over the crown
prince and her younger son, who also
was bleeding from wounds.
Only mounted police accompanied
the carriage, as the king had refused
military ' escort. The attack
from the rear, for it was found
came
hotlfi
wards that the king had been shot
the back of the neck, and it was so
entirely unexpected that the mur
derers had emptied their carbines
and revolvers almost before the po
lice, knew what was going on, and
had turned to flee Into the crowds
that, now panic-stricken, had pressed
back before their weapons. Then the
guard charged upon them,, pursuing
them down the streets and riddling
three of them with bullets. Hun
dreds of the people joined in the pur
suit and the others of the bapd of as
sassins were made prisoners.
Wagonload of Furniture law Court.
More than $3,000,000 was paid to
Contractor John H. Sanderson for fur
nishings for the new state Capitol be
fore his bills began to be approved by
the board of public grounds and build
ings as required by law. This was
brought out at the trial of Sanderson,
former State Treasurer Matheus, form
er Auditor General Snyder and James
H. Shumaker, former superintendent
of grounds and buildings.
These bills were put In evidence by
the commonwealth in spite of vigor
ous objections by the defense for the
purpose of showing the system which
the commonwealth alleges was pur
sued to defraud the state.
The commonwealth brought down
from the Capitol and stored in the
court house a .wagonload of furniture
which it offered in evidence when
the trial was resumed Monday. This
furniture Includes the bootblack stand,
for which Sanderson collected $1,619
from the state and paid the sub-con-'tractor
$125, and desks and chairs
upon which Sanderson's profits were
300 and 400 per cent.
Design to Eliminate Negro Vote.
A constitutional amendment de
signed to eliminate as- far as possible
the negro vote In Maryland was intro
duced In the legislature. The meas
ure, which is expected to pass with
out material change, provides for a
property qualification and an educa
tional test. White voters of either
tforeign or native birth are admitted
to suffrage without restraint through
special provisions. .The amendment
was drafted by a committee of leading
Democratic lawyers. A majority vote
lit the polls is necessary before it be
comes a part of the constitution.
Jury Find For Widow and Son.
The jury lu the Scbooley -Crawford
1-111 contest at Scranton, Pu., de
clared that tbe paper presented by
George B. Schooley as the last will
of Thomas T. Crawford, the million
aire coal operator, Is a forgery In
their opinion. They found In favor of
Mrs. Crawford, the widow, and her
son, to whom the property was left by
Mr. Crawford. More than $1,000,000
was involved In the contest.

Harry Thaw at Matteawan.
Harry Kendall Thaw arrived at
Matteawan Saturday night and was
Assigned to the observation ward of
the state asylum for the criminal in
sane, where he will remain for a week
or two until the authorities cai note
his mental condition.
Thaw sleeps in a small Iron bed in
a dormitory where about fifty other
men are quartered. An attendant
constantly Is on guard.
When Dr. Robert B. Lamb, medical
superintendent of the hospital, was
told that Thaw had been committed
to the institution he said the prisoner
would have no special privileges.
"The first thing to do with him,"
said Dr. Lamb, "as with all patients,
Is to place him in the observation
ward, there to remain until we note
his mental condition. After studying
his mental derangement we can then
assign him with some judgment to
some particular ward in the hospital.
He cannot have any special quarters,
for all the patients here are treated
alike."
8tudent Lost His Life In Fire.
From the ruins of the Alpha Tau
Omega fraternity house at Cornell
university, which burned Friday, was
taken the charred body of J. S. Klehle,
a junior in mechanical engineering.
That any lives had been lost in the
fire was not known until a meeting of
the fraternity was held at 5 p. m.,
when a roll call showed that Klehle
was mlBsing. The ruins were prompt
ly searched and his corpse was found
near the elevator shaft where the Are
originated.
It Is supposed that Klehle was on
his way to the upper floor to save
"Ted" Seelye of the Cornell cross
country team, who was known to be
an occupant of a room there. Seelye,
scantily clad, escaped through a sec
ond story window to a balcony porch
and down a ladder.
Klehle was from Minneapolis, and
was one of the squad tried out for
the football team last fall.
The loss Is $25,000.
Governor Hughes Strongly Endorsed.
Governor Hughes was strongly en
dorsed for the Republican nomination
for the presidency, and the administra
tion of President Roosevelt was com
mended In resolution, unanimously
passed by the New York Republican
county committee at a meeting in the
Murray Hill Lyceum Wednesday
night
The resolution further favored an
Instructed delegation to the Chicago
convention from this state for Gov
ernor Hughes, which should use all
honorable means to secure his nomina
tion until "he is either nominated or
directs the withdrawal of his name
from the consideration of the conven
tion." The committee, under iae resolu
tion, pledges Itself to do all In Its pow
er to secure from congressional con
ventions and the state convention
the adoption of resolutions instruct
ing for Governor Hughes.
Speaker Cole Indicted.
Speaker John N. Cole of the Mas
sachusetts house of representatives,
whose home Is at Andover, was indict
ed in Essex county on a charge of vio
lating the public statutes In request
ing a reduced rate of fare on the Bos
ton and Maine railroad for a large
number of persons. The Indictment
J s In 123 counts, and the statute pro
vides a penalty In each case of a fine
of not less than $100 nor more than
$1,000.
Speaker Cole heard of the action of
the jury before he left the state house
and issued a statement claiming that
while he had recommended reduced
fares for a number of "worthy stu
dents," he had not violated any statute
and that the proceedings were Insti
tuted and partly paid for by political
opponents.
Recommendations by Secretary Taft.
Secretary of War Taft returned
from Ohio to Washington and la
ter appeared before the house com
mittee on military affairs, where he
urged a variety of legislation, includ
ing the establishment of an army post
at Benguet, P. I., for recruiting pur
poses; a general Increase In pay for
the army, percentages to be determ
ined by the president; the establish
ment of a rifle and artillery range for
the department of the East, the site
to be selected near Washington by the
department; the continuance of the
Porto Rican regiment; changes In the
organization of army scouts for the
good of the service, and the reception
at the West Point academy of seven
Philippine cadets.
Responsible For Theater Holocaust.
The jury which has been Investi
gating the disastrous Are at Rhoades
Opera house at Boyertown, Pa., in
wiiich 169 persons lost their lives, re
turned a verdict at 1 o'clock Thursday
morning. The verdict lu part Is as
follows: "We are of the opinion that
Mrs. Monroe and the deputy factory
inspector are largely responsible for
the disaster on account of negligence.
We request the prosecuting attorney
of Berks county to arrest and, if pos
sible, convict Mrs. Monroe, owner of
the stereoptlcan machine, and Harry
McC. Bechtel, the deputy factory In
spector, on the charge of criminal neg
ligence." Possible British Intervention.
It is believed In Brussels that the
reference recently made by King
Edward of England to the Congo Inde
pendent State In his speech from the
throne at the opening of parliament
foreshadows British intervention In
the Congo lf the present project for
the annexation of the state to Holglum
should fall through.

TO
RETIRES
Portugal Seems to Be at Peace
Under New Cabinet.
Assassins Planned to Kill Royal Fam
ily Lots Drawn For Each Victim,
but Those Who Drew Queen Amelia
and Prince Manuel Failed to arry
Out Their Bloody Task. ;
Rome, Feb. 4. It Is announced that
f the situation in Portugal grows
worse Italy will send a warship to Lis
bon. It Is also announced that Italy
wjll dispatch a warship to that port if
the Dowager Queen Maria Pla ex
presses a wish to leave that country.
Lisbon, Feb. 4. Under a new re
gime, with a new king and the es
tablfshment of a new cabinet, Portu
gal Beems to be for the moment at
peace. There Is an underlying cur
rent of revolutions, however, and the
strictest measures are being taken to
preserve order. Yesterday an official
statement was given out that perfect
order existed throughout Portugal.
Franco, the once dictator, was forc
ed to resign because of the bitterness
of the people against him and the new
cabinet will strive for the welfare of
the fatherland under the presidency
of Rear Admiral Do Amaral. An
other official statement was given out
that the president of the cabinet will
be supported by all the groups of Mon
archists, who have agreed to forget
previous differences.
Franco's Position Impossible.
The situation for Premier Franco af
ter the assassination of the king and
the crown prince became Impossible.
During the days which preceded the
tragedy and during the tumultuous
manifestations on the streets, with the
later discoveries of vast stores of
armB and bombs, publlo opinion back
ed him In his effort to maintain order,
but the murders changed the entire
complexion of the situation. He has
not been on the streets since his meet
ing with the king after the latter's ar
rival from Villa Vlcosa, but all pos
sible places where he might be have
been closely watched and guarded.
The new cabinet, which Is composed
of the strongest members of the vari
ous factions, but all opposed to Fran
co, has drawn to It a strong patriotic
supporting movement. During the
night Admiral Do Amaral and the
chiefs of the Monarchlsttc parties held
a protracted session and laid out a
program looking to the pacification of
the people.
Word has been received here that
a British fleet, the number of vessels
not being stated, passed Oporto this
morning bound for Lisbon.
Plot to Kill Whole Family.
The Investigations of the police
show that the murders were carefully
planned. On Saturday the assassins
met secretly in the back room of a
cafe and there laid out every step of
the plot, which they were enabled to
do as all the details relating to
the homecoming of the king had been
made public. To each was assigned
a post In the work of shooting down
the members of the royal family, but
lots were drawn for the selection of
each particular victim. Those who
drew Queen Amelle and Prince Man
uel failed to carry out their bloody
task.
The chamber In the palace where
repose the bodies of King Carlos and
the crown prince has ben draped In
mourning and arranged to represent
a chapel. The biers are surrounded
by lighted candles and Queen Amelle,
widow of the king, and the Dowager
Queen Maria Pia, his -mother, watch
continually at the side of their dead.
The body of the king Is clad In the
uniform of a comander-ln-chlef of the
army, while the prince wears a uni
form of a captain of the Second Lan
cers. Several masses for the repose
of the souls departed have been said
in the mortuary chamber. The funer
als will be held Feb. 8 and the bodies
will lie In state probably beginning to
morrow. It Is expected that the fu
nerals will be attended by the Prince
of Wales, Prince Charles of Bourbon,
the Duke of Aosta, the cousin of King
Victor Emmanuel, a special French
embassy and detachments of the for
eign regiments of which the late king
was honorary colonel.
The condition of Queen Amelie, con
trary to rumors. Is relatively good.
The Duke of Oporto, brother of the
late king, has established his resl
4ence at the palace, where he will re
main for a time. The countess of
Paris, Queen Anielle's mother. Is on
her way here.
Charles Page Bryan, the American
minister to Portugal, was the first di
plomat to offer condolence to the royal
family.
Little by little Lisbon Is regaining
Its normal aspect, although all the
public buildings nnd the palace are
still guarded by cordons of soldiers
and detachments of the. municipal
guard. A number of the newspapers
of the city have suspended publica
tion. Game Protector Sentenced. .
Utica. N. Y.. Feb. 4. Harvey N.
Gaylord. the former fish and game
protector who od Saturday was con
victed at Herkimer for selling tim
ber from state lands, was yesterday
sentenced to Auburn prison for not
less than one year and not more than
three years and six months. Tbe
trial of Charles A. Klock, the fish and
game protector who It Is charged was
In with Gaylord on the deal, will be
commenced Wednesday.
NEW TOWN AT SOUTH FORK.
Near Lake Which Caused the Johns
town Disaster 19 Years Ago.
Johnstown, Pa. Feb. 4. The South
Fork "lake," a site of the dam whose
demolition by the . pent-up waters
wrought. one of the world's great dis
isters in ' Johnstown nineteen years
kgo, is ow the scene of tbe building
sf a ilew town.
-Ihe Maryland Coal company eigh
teen months ago purchased for over
half. 4 million dollars the coal owned
by tbe James J. Fronhelser estate of
this city. Pittsburg Interest in the
large transfer is represented In the
tact that J. A. Fronhelser, whose
wife was Miss Haymaker, daughter
t Judge John C. Haymaker, is one of
the two heirs of the Fronhelser es
tate. For a year the Maryland people
bave been working on the shaft to
tap the Fronhelser coal, and while
the mining engineers have hustled
carpenters and stonemasons and arch
itects have also been busy. St.
Michaels Is the name selected for the
new town which is going up around
the mining operations, and it promises
in time to be a lively rival of South
Fork.
One feature of the transformation
Is the reopening of the clubhouse of
the famous South Fork Hunting and
Fishing club, which John L. Sechler
sf this city has occupied while direct
ing the real estate developments In
connection with the building of St
Michaels. Mr. Sechler has found a
number of Interesting documents and
relics of tbe old club, most of them
records of the club steward.
It will be seven or eight months
before the Maryland's shaft is com
pleted. The engineers are looking for
natural drainage and It Is expected
the shaft will be 700 feet deep. The
soal Is the finest in the basin and Is
assured of a ready market from the
Srst.
Letter Fifty-Three Years In Transit.
Newark, N. J., Feb. 2. Postmaster
lames L. Hays has in his care a let
ter addressed to "Miss Elisabeth
Sarthawalte, Newark, N. J.." which
he would like to deliver. The most
pressing reason for the prompt de
livery of the letter Is that It has al
ready been delayed In transit for
more than half a century. The en
velope Is tlme-stalned and frayed at
the edges. Tbe stamping shows that
It was mailed at New Orleans Dec.
SO, 1854. It was received at Newark
last week. There was no evidence
that the letter had gone astray or had
been handled by any intermediary
between the New Orleans postofflce
ind Newark.
