PORTUGAL 8 THRONE
Is NOW TOTTERING
PARIS SEES DAWN OF REPUBLIC IN
REVOLT OF COUNTRY TO
THE SOUTH.
CARLOS HOUSE is IN REVOLT.
Kings Policy Anglers Populace and Re-
moval of Cabinet Members
Is Demanded.
TROUBLE is EXPECTED SOON

PARIS, Nov. 25.-That a revolution,
the abdication of King Carlos. and the
formation of Il republic in Portugal will
be the outcome of the present disturb
ances in that country is the belief of well
informed circles here.
4 strict censorship is being placed on
all dispatches coming from Lisbon and
it is impossible TO get news direct from
that city, but travellers returning to
Spain report that the entire city is III 4
state of confusion and that frequent
clashes between the soldiers and the in
surgents have occurred and that many
persons have been killed and wounded.
Some of the ministers are said 10 have
requested King Carlos to declare martial
law throughout the kingdom, but this he
has so far refused to do.
Own Household in Revolt
1t is reported that King Carlos faces
trouble i'll his own household as well as
from the people, and that Col. Tasta, aid
de camp, has resigned because OF troubles
with his majesty.
Trouble is also brewing i'll the army
and several regiments whose loyalty is
feared have been disarmed.
One report, which was received by way
of Madrid, states that the King is viz
tually 4 prisoner in his palace. This
message adds that the Spanish authori-
ties have taken so serious Il view of the
situation as to have begun preparations
to preserve Spanish neutrality in case
of Il state wide revolution.
Cause of the Trouble.
The present state of affairs in Portugal
was brought about by the antagoniSm
held by the Conservative party to the
dictatorship which is headed by Prime
Minister Franco.
The opposition to the premier has been
growing steadily for several months and
eliminated recently i'll a message to the
king demanding that Premier Franco be
deposed from power.
The answer to this request was the
Punishment by his father of Crown
Prince Louis to Villa NicOSO, Il royal
residence in a remote part of the king
dom. Immediately after the report of
Louis Punishment became known the
government issued a denial, but this was
taken in Paris to mean nothing.
Then later Carlos announced his en-
tire faith in Franco and the other mem
berS of the cabinet now holding power
and refused absolutely to remove them.
The Conservatives Immediately called
for a national demonstration on January
:, when, it IS stated, q national assembly
must be proclaimed.
Premier in a Denial.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-The Daily Mail
prints telegram from Premier Franco
of Portugal denying absolutely the rumor
of the Punishment of Crown Prince Louis
and of diSaffection in the navy.

SOCIALISTS HELP
TO SUFFRAGETTES,
English Women Attack Liberal Speakers
Guarded by Male Allies-Own
Methods Their Ruin.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-Aided by mascu-
line allies the suffragettes have scored a
victory. Ever since the politicians began
their usual autumn campaign the
screaming women led by Christabel
Frankfurt and Annie Kenney, have with
monOtOnous persistence done their utmost
to break up the meetings addressed by
ministers and other prominent Liberals.
Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell
Zimmerman, Mr. Asquith, chancellor of
the exchequer; Mr. HaIdane. secretary
for war; Augustine Blrrell, chief secretary
for Ireland; Mr.. HarcOurt, first commits
soner of work; Mr.. Buxton, postmaster
general; Mr.. Gladstone, home secretary,
and M Lloyd-GcOrge, president OF the
board of trade, all have suffered.
Their female interrupters We're inva-
riably elected in the screeching, strug-
Cling manner which is now too familiar.
Their tactics usually have led to only
temporary hindrance to the meetings.
Public Growing Weary.
The public is becoming weary over
the agitation of sutfragettes, which
Weakens their cause.
The Pankhurst gang, apparently real
izing their failure, invoked Socialist men
at Leeds last evening to protect them
from election from the meeting al"
dressed by Mr.. Gladstone. The plan
succeeded, and for the first time they
won an overwhelming victory, COM
pletely spelling the meeting Mr.. Glad
stone, his WIFE and others were driven
from the platform by a rush of women,
supported by their Socialist allies. \
tree fight between the latter and the lib
eral audience filled the hall with uproar.
There were many bloody noses and black
eyes were given and received.
Students Hurl Dead Mice.
A few nights ago the suffragettes' tao
tics were tried against themselves. They
were holding Il meeting at Birmingham,
where the university students raised
pandemonium. Among other pranks they
threw tubes filled with sulphuretted ny
drogen, which caused extreme dismay.
The Pankhurstites became wildly indig
nant. With red faces they rayed at the
i'll hammered boys. much to the latter's
huge and noisy delight. Finally a show
er of dead mice drove the speakers from
the platform.

TO FREE MRS. R0MADkA
CHICAGOANs TO MOVE FOR NEW
TRIAL FOR WOMAN.
Believe She Was Scared Into Confession
and Railroaded to Cell in
Joliet Prison.

CHICAGO, Ill. Nov 23.-[Special.l
Societies devoted to psychic research
have become interested in the case Of
Mrs. Evelyn Romadka, recently convict
ed and sentenced to a term of imprison-
ment in the Joliet penitentiary and ac
cording to John Heron. who acted as
her Chicago attorney, her case may be
reopened for trial before December l,
although the woman is now confined at
Joliet.
Chief among these who are champion
ing Mrs. ROmadka'a cause are DR. AXel
Gustafson, who asserts that the woman
is possessed of an abnormal soul. and
Kew. V. A. NJ. Mortensen, superintendent
and secretary of the Rescue League of
Chicago. Both of these men have con-
suited with Attorney Heron as to what
steps may be taken to have the ROmadka
case opened for further investigation and
1t IS believed that there will be re-
Vrersal of Judge Brentano's decision, if
the insanity plea is used.
Had to Say Guilty2
1T is my firm belief that Mrs Ronald
ka never entered a plea of guilty of her
own ylOlitiOn,' said ATTORNEY Heron to-
day. There has evidently been no effort
on the part of her friends to give her
an opportunity to defend herself upon the
insanity plea and it's evident that most
extraordinary efforts were used to make
her plead guilty"
Attorney Heron said that among 9TH
er arguments used to force Mrs. Ronald
ka into q plea of guilty was the story of
the Ihaw trial and the publicity given
to the private life of Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw.
They told her" said the lawyer.
that her relations with the negro Jones
n hn 4l,o- l.
her child would be disgraced"
The attorney also said that the hor-V
rors Of the insane asylum had been paint
ed TO her and that she was made to
believe that life in the penitentary was
INFINITELY better than being an inmate
OF an institution for the insane.
Rle is d Great ure of suggestion" said
Attorney Heron, land the picture of
herself in company with lunatics forced
her into the plea under which she was
gent to the penitentiary to serve a term
OF from one to twenty years. 1t is my
opinion that she will come out of the
prison ravlng maniac or a corpse
Thinks Woman Innocent.
DR.. Axel Gustafson, who was Mrs. Ro-
madka's physician up to the time of
and after her arrest in connection with
eight burglaries, said this morning that
he was firm in his belief that the wom-
an was not guilty, but that mental sug-
gestion had forced her to believe that
she had committed crimes, which to her
would have been absolutely impossible.
Application has been made to DR..
Gustafson by the American Society for
Psychical Research and Institute for Sci
entitic Research of New York for COM
plete history of the case. He says he
will bend every effort toward interest
ing the societies in q movement toward
securing her release.
According to Attorney Heron there
is yet a possibility of securing a new
trial. Application must be made be-
fore December, however, if anything is
to be done toward reversing the wom-
ans sentence.
