KING CARLOS
TO Be TOLD TO
QUIT THRONE

Lisbon. Portugal. Dec. 23-As soon
as the dictatorship Is abandoned and a
new cortes assemblies the Republicans
intend to move TO impeach Franco for
his action in 'liauidating'' the kings
debts 10 the treasury. and to demand
that King Charles abdicate for abetting
this "crine. Tor the Portuguese con-
stitution reouIfcs the monarch to abdi-
cate when he is adiudged morally inca
pable' OF governing.
Small as theT influence Is under re-
stricted suffrage. the Republicans be-
lieve that by exposing the Monarchist
practices Franco has dealt a mortal blow
to the prestige Of the king and the mon
archy. and made probable a republic,
which n year ago seemed a dream.
His revelations certainly have placed
powerful weapons In Republican hands.
Franco confesses that for years the co,in-
try has been the football OF the Monar-
cbist parties, whose sole object was
graft for themselves and their followers,
and who made advances" surreptitiously
from the public treas sury to the royal
family. which have been "Iiauidated'' by
decree.
In a country where the masses take
an interest In politics. such a campaign
would be hot. but here In Portugal
where the percentage OF illteracy Is the
largest in Europe. and where the peo-
pie. stepped In ignorance and supersti-
tion. are barred from the ballot. II re-
mains to be seen whether they can be
aroused. Conservative foreigners who
have lived long In the country think
that outside OF the capital and Oporto
the masses. loyal to the Braganza dynas-
~. will be Indifferent 10 politics until a
system of general education awakens
them.
II is but fair 10 state that no one was
more severe In his criticism OF the prac-
tice OF advancing money 10 the royal
family than Franco himself. and as
these advances were made secretly he
pledged himself TO make 1t impossible In
the future for the king 10 get single
cent more than the royal allowance and
TO Introduce a systam OF public accounta-
bility which would reveal the destination
Of every dollar that left the treasury. He
kept his promise and for this alone. II
nothing else were done the prominent
business men Of the country say Franco
should have the peoples gratitude.
Franco was confronted with the kings
back debts. amounting 20 100000. The
king had no means OF paving this obli-
CATION. Besides Il was recognized that
most OF this money went in entertain

Picturing in her mind young man, af-
amid surroundings OF wealth. Mrs. Peters
decided at once TO come East and be his

loved dogs would be equally welcome as
herself. so she set of with them for the
promised land. Her heart sank and her
dream of felicity was shattered when she
arrived at Gurleyvlle. The swain of her
roseate dream turned out Ia be an aged
but well respected farmer. with wealth
OF chin whiskers. hut poor I'm coin.
Mrs. Peters decided that she preferred
the life OF a domestic. so obtained a place
as housekeeper in the home OF John
Clark. well-to-do farmer. She had
left her dogs in willimantic hotel. and
fell into the hands OF the police. The offi-
GERS found the dogs guarding various ar
ticles which. II is alleged. she had lifted
from local stores.
There were petticoats In large variety
which, n is charged. she carried from the
stores under long cloak that she wore.
The woman herself says all would have
been well had her dream OF marital joy
been realized.
