Faculty Of Stanford
Suspends Cunfla
Drastic Action Taken Against
Student Editor for Part i'm
PaIO Alto Ri0f
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TIE CALL

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. ga
For melting and participating in a
disorder in a public hall in Palo Alto
Edward A. Cunha, managing editor of
the Daily Palo Alto, was suspended
from the institution today for the re-
mainder OF the academic year. This
action of the faculty is the most drastic
since the suspension of B. S. Allen, a
former editor OF the Daily Paio Alto,
and it's cause was the disturbance pre-
cipitated last week when E. P. E. Troy.
an attorney OF San Francisco, demanded
an investigation OF the affairs of the
town officials, and the students re-
spending to an invitation issued by the
officials became involved ina riot.
Cunha took part ip tie affair first
when he posted in Encina{ hall a notice
purporting to come from Mayor Park :
inson. in which the students were
asked TO attend the meeting. and sec
ondly because of the prominent part
he afterward played in the riot in the
vestibule of the hail. He was dubbed
at this time by one of the town officials.
The faculty was first notified of the
affair through information furnished by
Palo Alto citizens. Cunha entered the
university with the class of 1906 and
from the first took an active part in
undergraduate affairs. In his Junior
year he was chosen president of the
associated students and was elected to
membership in the Skull and Snakes
honor society, Qandrangle club, Phi
Delta Phi legal fraternity and is
member Of the Encina club. For the
last two years he has been manager of
the Daily Palo Alto; has also been yell
leader of the cardinal rooters for two
years. AS law student he was espe-
cially brilliant and would have received
the degree of doctor of Jurisprudence
in May

Portuguese Crown Is
Menaced by Plot
Advanced Republicans Captured
on Night Ser for End of
Monarchy In Terror


\ LISBON. Jan. es.-6By courier to
Badajos, Spain, Ian. 2S)--An abortive
attempt to overthrow the monarchy and
proclaim Portugal a republic was
nipped in the bud last night by the
prompt action of the government The
plot was organized by a small group
of advanced republicans As near as
can be ascertained the plan was to
assassinate Premier Franco and then
depend for success upon street risings
supported by secret republican and
labor organizations armed with bombs
and revoIvers.
The conspirators intended to take ad-
vantage OF various festivities 10 carry
out the coup d'etat. The royal family
was at Villa Vicosa entertaining the
duke of Abruzzi. Most OF the army
and navy officers who were in the city
were attending gala performance at
the theater. while many of the chief
funetionaries of state were present at
magnificent ball at enc of the iega-
tions.

the ringIeaders were considering fnaI
details of their plot. When they broke
in the doors the lights were extin-
guished and in the confusion that fol-
lowed most of the sconspirators man
aged to escape. Several were cap
tured, however, including the leader,
Joao Chagas, a republican journalist
who was prominent III the republican
revolt of 1891; Franco Berger editor
of the Mundo. and a merchant named
Grendella- A case OF revoIvers and
bombs was found in the cellar.
A general alarm was Immediately
sent out. and while the prisoners were
being taken to Jail troops began to
appear from all directions squad
ron of cavalry was placed around Pre-
mier Frances house and the night
passed without further incident.
From papers captured it was evident
that the conspiracy was badly organ
ICED and premature. The leader has
always been an. active revolutionist.
After the revolt in 1891 he escaped to
Brazil. Pardoned by amnesty he re-
turned to Portugal.
BY night about 40 conspirators had
been arrested. The police have secured
evidence of another revolt. planned for
January 81 the anniversary of the re-
publican revolt at Oporto. The Diario
Popular prints a sensational article to
the effect that many officers in the Lis
bon garrison are under suspicion of be-
ing implicated in the conspiracy to
overthrow the government.
Premier Franco has established a
rigorous censorship that news of the
conspiracy may not be learned abroad.
Outside of Lisbon no disturbances are
reported. The peaceful section of the
republicans, headed by Baruadino Ma
chado, apparently. is not implicated In
the affair. The governme ent organ.

Fear Jack London Is

Officers of Bank Which Loaned
Author Funds Fail to Trace

OAKLAND, Jan. 23.-Supposedly be-
cause its officers have been unable 70
ind any trace of Jack London. the
noted author who began tour of the
world in his fraiI craft, the Shark and
the fear that he has met disaster some
where in the south seas, the Central
bank recorded today a mortgage against
London's home in Twenty-seyenth
street near Telegraph avenue, which
was drawn last April.
The trust deed was given by the
adventurous writer to obtain funds
with which to outfit his craft and carry
out his project of sailing around tho
world. The negotiations were carried
out secretly at the time and evidence
of the debt was never made public
until the mortgage was filed today. The
deed names a nominal consideration
and the bank officials decline to make
public the amount which London bor-
rowed on the property.
Since London left Honolulu. some
time ago, the bank people have heard
nothing from him. They attempted
through various sources to gain some
information concerning him today, but
were unable to do so. It is understood
that the mortgage was to be held with
out being recorded as long as London's $
safety seemed assured, and the action
of the bank today is taken as an in
dication that its officers despair of his
safety
