LISBON, SPAIN, Dec. 6.-CSpe-
ciaD progressive and Conservative
leaders will hold meeting in Lis
bon Sunday to discuss the attitude
they shall assume toward the present
government. Members of Premier

oppositionists will not receive public

become calm" and that the crisis.
which threatened to overthrow the
monarchy and lead to the establish
ment of a Portuguese republic has
now passed
The present state of affairs is large
ly due to the opposition of ConSer-
vative leaders to the premiership of
Prime Minister Franco. This feeling
of hatred to Franco, who was declar-
ed to be a practical dictator, has been
steadily growing in strength for
many months and eliminated re-

publicans, anarchists and socialists of
the kingdom and many plots for the
assassination of the royal family
have been discovered Hundreds of
death dealing instruments have been
discovered in the last few weeks and
the jails are overlooking with malcan-

has been established by order of the
king, but many methods of evading
it have been discovered.
From present appearances, it is
probable that within the next few
years Portugal will have joined
France and Switzerland in the ranks

Disaffection is general throughout
the kingdom and it is stated on good
authority taht the army and navy
cannot be depended upon to defend
the monarchy.

4 COLOSSAL PROJECT

Uncle Sam is to be touched" very
heavily, if the Rivers and Harbors
Congress now in session in Washing
ton is to be satisfied The idea is to
have the Government expend $780,
100000 on internal waterways in the
next ten years, chiefly on the Lakes
to the Gulf project and on the inside
route along the Atlantic Coast
Accustomed as the American peo-
pie have become to huge appropria-
tions, the figures named are stagger-
ing, being considerably more than
half of the cost of the entire govern
ment for one year. And it is safe to
assume that even the large sum de-
sired would represent not over half
of the money ultimately required.
Just now the United States has on
hand great project in the construc-
ton of the Panama conal The idea
of a canal connecting the two oceans
is an old one and the benefits to the
United States in being the construc-
tor and owner are immeasurable
While every loyal citizen is ready to
encourage this great project even
though its cost is heavy, to assume
another similar obligation for the
benefit of a limited section of the
country seems to be laying on the
expense for canal building a little
thick
Until the larger and far more i'm
portant project of building the Pan
anna canal is practically completed
and the money obtained for the work,
it is but natural that the people, ex-
cept those along the proposed water
ways, would hardly be in favor of
such colossal bond issues as the
Rivers and Harbors Congress pro-
poses.

DEATH HOODOO HAS
FOLLOWED FAMILN
Six Tragedies Occur in
Ten Years.

PITTSBURG, PA, Dec. 6-(Spe-
ciaD-Six tragic deaths in a single
family in decade is the record made
by the accidental death of Charles
Bellstein, at Vanderwrift, yesterday
He fell from a step ladder, breaking
his neck dying instantly.
The victim of the accident was a
brother of Bertha Beilstein, whose
death at Los Angeles last May proved
the climax to the most sensational
succession of tragedies is one family
in the history of western Pennsyl-
vania.
The father first died mysteriOusly
on Christmas, 1897, evidences of pois-
oning failing to develop into a case
against any member of the family.
Shortly after the daughter Bertha
proclaimed that she had vision in
which a hand of blood followed the
entire family.
Bertha Beilstein killed her mother
with an AK in October, 1898, and at
tempted her own life, inhictipg a
frightful wound.
The day before the murder the mo-
theirs brother had committed suicide
under the wheels of a train; two
days after a son of the dead woman
died by his own hand on his mo-
theirs grave.
The girl was sent to DiXmont In
sane Asylum after an exciting trial.
Last year she escaped, and after
wandering for eight months a fugi-
tive died under mysterious circum-
stances in Los Angeles, Cal.
But four members of the family re-
main, two sisters in this city, third
in New York and brother in Chi
cago.

TRAVEL Is GREAT, TO
BIG TOWNS IN STATE
Hundreds Go to Atlanta
and Macon.

That a larger number Of Americas
people go to Atlanta and Macon than
elsewhere is clearly indicated by the
sale of tickets at the Central Rail
way depot here During the month
just ended the cash sales of tickets
at the Americas office exceeded $4,000
and of this the sale of tickets to Ma
con and Atlanta alone amounted to
considerably over $1,000. And with
the rapid approach of the holidays
and the rush of holiday travel the
sale of tickets will increase in pro-
portion. That Americas is one of
the best points on the Central Rail
way system is well reflected in the
enormous amount of business, both
passenger and freight traffic, afford
ed monthly.

NEGLECT is CHARGED
AGAINST BABY FARM
Nine Infants Witnesses
Against Manager.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. Dec. e.
(SpeciaD ITO probe charges made by
the Society to Protect Children from
Cruelty against the baby farm"
conducted by DR.. Charles H. Ballen-
tine and his wife, at 661 North Tenth
Street, Coroner Jermon will on Fri
day, reopen the inquest upon an in
FAINT who died at the establishment
A verdict of death from natural
causes was rendered several days
ago, but an effort will be made to
prove that the tiny inmate was a
victim of criminal neglect, at the
hands of DR.. and Mrs. Ballentine,
who are under the charges of invol-
untary manslaughter.
Babies to Be Mute Witnesses
An unusual feature of the inquest
will be the presence of nine babies
as mute witnesses against the physi-
clan and his wife They will be the
infants found in the establishment
when Agent Kincaide, of the society,
visited it. The establishment was
blotted out yesterday Under in
structions from Agent Kincaide, the
mothers of seven Of the infants took
them away. One baby, i'll and ema-
ciated, was sent to the West Philadel-
phia Children's Hospital.
One child, unclaimed, will be adopt
ed by DR.. Ballentine, according to
Michael Francis Doyle, his attorney.
The baby had been deserted at the
establishment four weeks ago by a
woman named Southland. She
never paid any money for it's support,
and has not been heard of since The
Ballingers, their attorney said took
a liking to the infant and intended
to take out adoption papers in few
days.
The inquiry into the Ballentine es-
adjustment brings to the fore again
the agitation which has been going
on for years among charitable or
CARNATIONS, especially those devoted
to the care of children, for legisla-
ton by which the nurseries under the
guise of which the baby farms are
run can be regulated
