SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2S.-Abe
Ruef made the statement tonight that
Henry Ach would be one of his attor-
neys in the trial for bribery of the San
Francisco supervisors, which will be
set by Judge Lawlor tomorrow morn
ing.
He refused to admit that Mr.. Ach
will be the chief counsel in the case
but it is generally thought he will be.
Mr. Ach left tonight on the Owl train
and this has led to the report that At
torney Earl Rogers of Los Angeles is
to be associated with him in the case
When the bribery case comes up to-
morrow to be set Judge Lawlor, it Is
believed, will listen to no more pleas
for a continuance, no matter what ar
rangements Ruef may have made or
not made for attorneys to represent
him.
Ruef left the county Jail shortly after
o'clock with Deputy Sheriff Frank
Johnson, and after appearing before
Judge Dunno on some of the extortion
indictments, which were continued for
one week, he held a long conference at
the Temple Sheriff Israel with Ach and
Rabbi Nieto.
The sentence of Ruef on the extortion
charge to which he pleaded guilty was
also continued for one week by Judge
Dunno.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. PA car on
the Guerrero street line partially tele-
scoped another car on the same line
at z o'clock tonight after racing for
eleven blocks, part OF the way down
steep hill.
Seven persons were injured three of
them so seriously that it is thought
they will die. The car was making its
way up a long series of hills, and when
near the top of the last hill lost its
power. The brakes were set, but did
not hold
Policeman John Conley boarded the
car and told the passengers to get or,
as there was danger.
Motorman Samuel Hurd objected 20
the interference of the officer and at
tempted to start the car, but had to
abandon the effort a second time The
passengers all left the car and so did
Conductor F. r. Mcmahon, but the
motorman stayed with it, and on max
ing another attempt lost his hold on the
rails with the air brakes and the car
sped down the steep hill.
At Eighteenth street it crashed into
a car in the charge of Motorman A.
Hills. He had noted the fast approach
o; the runaway and tried in vain to
get out of it's way.
The passengers on the second car
were all crowded to the forward end
by the conductor, and doubtless this
saved many lives, as there were about
thirty passengers on this car.

LISBON, Jan. 23 (by courier to Bada-
jor, Spain. Jan. 23).-An abortive at
tempt 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 small group of
advanced Republicans.
AS near as can be ascertained the
plan was to assassinate Premier Fran
co and then to depend for success upon
street risings supported by secret Re
publican and labor organizations armed
with bombs and revolvers.
The conspirators intended to take ad-
vantage of various festivities to carry
out the coup d'etat.
The royal family was at Villa Vico-
sa entertaining the duke of Abruzzi
Most of the army and navy officers,
who were in the city, were attending
gala performance at a theater, while
many of the chief functionaries of
state were present at magnificent
ball at one of the legations.
House is Surrounded
The police discovered what was in
the wind early in the evening and sur
rounded a house where the ringleaders
in the plot were comforting
When they broke into the den the
lights were extinguished, and in the
confusion that followed most of the
conspirators managed to make their
escape. Several of them were captured.
however, including the leader, Joao
Chagas, a Republican journalist, who
was prominent in the Republican revolt
OF 1891; Franco Berger, editor of the
Mundo, and merchant named Gren-
della.
A case of revolvers 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 ap-
pear from all directions.
A squadron of cavalry was placed
around Premier Frances house..
From papers captured it was evident
the conspiracy was badly organized
and premature.
Leader Always Active
The leader has always been an active
revolutionist. After the revolt of 1891
he escaped to Brazil and subsequently,
being pardoned by amnesty returned
to Portugal.
AS the details of the plot are in the
hands of the police other arrests are
expected.
Premier Franco has established a
rigorous censorship so that news of the
conspiracy may not be learned abroad
OUTSIDE or LISBON no disturbances are
reported.
The peaceful section of the Republi-
cans headed by Bernardino Matchado,
apparently is in no way implicated in
the affair.
The government organ, Diario Illus
trado, this morning printed a warning
that agitators against public order
would be treated as criminals and enc
mics of society.
BY tonight about forty conspirators
had been arrested.
The police have secured evidence of
another plot, to take place January 27.
Owing to the political situation the
premium on gold is raising rapidly.
The Diario Popular prints sensa-
tional article to the effect that many
officers in the Lisbon garrison are under
suspicion of being implicated in the
conspiracy to overthrow the govern

FORMER BANK
TELLER SAID
TO BE FORGER
MAN ARRESTED, WIFE AND
CHILDREN DESTITUTE
Once Prominent and Trusted EmpIoye
of San Francisco Bank Held
Here on Serious
Charges

Charles r. Lawson, who previous to
the San Francisco fire and earthquake
was paying teller of a savings bank
in that city, was arrested last night by
Detectives Rich and Roberds in a
rooming house at S0255 East Fifth street
and booked on charge of forgery.
1t is alleged by the police that for the
past two years, or since the San Fran
cisco disaster. Lawson has been sup
porting himself and family, consisting
of his wife and three children, by pass
ing forged or worthless checks all over
the country.
1t is believed that within two years
he has swindled various merchants and
small store keepers from Tennessee and
Arkansas to the Pacific coast of more
than $4,000.
Lawson was arrested after a two
weeks chase by the detectives, in which
he was followed through all the smaller
towns and beach cities in this vicinity.
The specific charge on which he was
arrested was the swindling of the Sim
mons wine house in the southern part
of town out OF $40 on a check drawn on
the Oakland Bank of Savings, in which
he had no account.
Passed Many Checks
A score or more of checks drawn on
the Missouri Lincoln Trust company of
st. Louis are said to be in circulation
or on their way to the bank for collec-
ton and nearly hundred more drawn
on the Jefferson City Bank and Trust
company of Jefferson City, Missouri
are known to have been uttered by him
None of the checks passed by Lawson
is for greater amount than $35, and
the majority of them were drawn in
the sum of $40. Taking these small bits
of worthless paper, he would approach
a grocer or other dealer and buy a bill
of goods and give the check in pay
ment invariably receiving more than
half the face OF the check in change.
According II the detectives Lawson,
who was a we'll known and respected
resident of San Francisco, began to
drink heavily after the disaster, and
gave up all effort to secure work. He
has dragged his family around the
country with him, paying his way and
his expenses by giving out these worth
less pieces of paper.
1t is said that at one time he had
small accounts in all the banks on
which he drew checks, but these ac-
counts were cicsed long ago and he has
never made a deposit since. He was
warned by all the banks, according to
the statement made last night, to cease
drawing checks on them, and the no.
tarial fees of protest paid by the banks
since them amount to several hundred
dollars.
Lawson's wife and three children, the
Oldest years of age, are in destitute
at the East Fifth street
lodging house, and the police last night
furnished Their, with money to live on
for few days.

TAWNEY OF MINNESOTA SOUNDS
SUDDEN WARNING
Estimates for Next Fiscal Year Must
Be Reduced, Says Representative,
Apropos of Urgent Defii-
cheney Appropriations
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The ar
gent deficiency appropriation bill oc-
cupied the attention of the house TO-DAY
TO the exclusion of all other business.
A surprise was sprung when Chairman
Tawney of the appropriations COM
mittee warned the house that the
country was confronted with the GER
tainty of a 1OO,OOO,O0O deficit unless
the estimates for the next fiscal year
should be cut down materially.
Mr.. Tawneys warning was seized
upon by Mr.. Underwood Of Alabama
as the text for a lengthy discussion
of the recent financial depression
He maintained there were no natural
extraordinary conditions that produced
that depression.
The country, he said, was prosperous
and there were no exterior causes IL
was not an act of God 1t was not
because of fire, pestilence or famine,
crop failure or dearth of money, put
because of lack of confidence.
Has Forsaken Partner
IT therefore had been demonstrated
he said, that so far as the Repuphcan
party was working Ior tHe PlOSPSiItS
Of the country it had dissolved part
nership with, God. because all that the
Almighty has produced in this country
has been lavished bountifully upon IT
and only the Republican party has
failed in it's part of the partnership.
THE method of making approprla-
tions was criticised by Mr.. Kelter OF
ohio. who said it was unbusinessllke;
He favored increased fortifications and
said that if, for instance, Pearl haroor
and perhaps Manila were properly Tor
titled 1--WE would not be talking 50
