that thus having established its doton

affairs of the country it could ann sne

overthrow the monarchy and proclo;s
Portugal a republic. The plot was 49,
ganized by small group of advancoa
republicans, and the original intention
was to assassinate Premier Franc
and depend upon the secret, republican
and labor organizations, armed with
bombs and revolvers, to complete the
work of revolution in the country
But the police raided the meeting
place of the conspirators and made .
number of arrests, Selling Quantities
of bombs and other weapons, and since
then other raids have been made in
Lisbon, with the result that the polico
believed they had the revolutionarios
well in hand. Each day, however
brought new evidence of the ramifca.
tons of the plot to remove the heads
of the state.
A treaty with England, however. not
only provides far assistance from that
country in the event of foreign inva.
sion, but is also designed to safeguard
the crown against any demonstrations
from revolutionists.
Pretender May Come to Front.
Dom Miguel de Braganza, head of
the house of the line of Braganza, who
formerly reigned over Portugal, the
pretender to the throne, is likely to
come to the front again because of
the death of King Carlos and the
crown prince. The father of Dom
Miguel was the late King Miguel l.
duke of Braganza, who seized the
throne from his niece, Queen Maria
H., daughter of Emperor Pedro I. of
Brazil, and was king of Portugal from
1928 to 1884, at which latter date
Queen Maria was restored to the
throne. There have been numerous
rumors of a rebellion, with the object
of placing Dom Miguel on the throne.
but recently these were not given seri-
GUS consideration.
Dom Miguel, through the medium of
Vienna, announced his readiness to fill
any vacancy in the Portuguese throne
arising from the dispute in that coun-
try.
New Boy King.
A boy king, who henceforth will be
known as Manuel H., is tonight the
ruler of the kingdom of Portugal, and
the revolution into which the insti-
gators of the bloody events of yester-
day had hoped to plunge the country
has not up to the present engulfed the
nation. Franco, the dictator and real
commander of the country's destinies,
is confirmed in power with the king,
determined to prevent further violence
and insurrection. and to preserve the
monarchy. - -:

= WOMAN UNDER ARREST
HAS BAD REPUTATION
Maybe Claims That He Acted in Self
Defense and Only Used His Pistol
When He Was Attacked BY Two
Men.-Injured Man Still Alive.
Daily News Special.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, October 29.-Jackson has
another shooting to it's credit or dis
credit.
Last night about 10 o'clock Sam
Reber, well known young man of
this city, was shot and seriously
wounded by Dan Maybe, contractor,
in the house of Lucretia Deangeles,
on Parish street. The ball entered
the right temple and came out back
of the ear.
Young Reber was taken to the sana-
torium, and his wound dressed by DR..
=. H. Galloway who pronounced it
very serious.
The woman, Lucretia, was arrested
and lodged in Jail few minutes after
Maybe had surrendered.
Maybe telephoned to police head
quarters asking that an officer be sent
to arrest him and take him in charge
but the officer on duty suggested to
him that he come up to the city hall
and surrender himself, which he prom
ised to do, and in a few minutes he
was there.
The man who did the shooting show
ed very plainly that he had been in
very warm engagement of some kind.
His face showed two or three bad cuts
and his person was covered with blood.
The woman presented horrible ap-
pearance also, and when she walked
in at the city hall in charge Of the
officers, it was supposed she too, had
been cut or shot, so bloody were her
arms, hands and clothing. However,
most of it washed off. and it was found
that she had been in the midst of the
melee but was not injured.
Maybe stated that he never used
his pistol till he had been attacked by
Reber and another man, and claimed
to be acting in self-defense.
Sam Reber is the youngest son of
Mr.. e. H. Reber, one of the most high
ly respected citizens of Jackson, and
whose friends will very deeply sympa-
thize with him in his sad affliction.
Sam is about 21 years of age and has
been employed several years about the
oil mills of the city, and by the mana
gers Of which he was highly esteemed.
Lucretia DeAngeles is the same wo-
man who figured very prominently in
the killing OF Jesse Puckett in a blind
tiger den on the other side of Pearl
river a few years ago and has been
notorious for long time.
The Latest.
At Q a. m. Mr.. Reber showed no
change in condition. He lost great
deal of blood before the surgeons
reached him and was very weak, with
chances about even.

WANTS HATTIESBURG
To MAKE AN APPEAL
Thinks That Commission Could Sus-
pend Its General Rate and Allow
Hattiesbcrg to Enforce Its Charter
Restrictions.

Mr.. F. NJ. Lee, president of the Mis-
sissippi Railroad Commission spent
last night in the city, leaving on the
Gulf and Ship Island train this morn
ing for Jackson.
While in the city Mr.. Lee inquired
into some matters pertaining to the
charges that were being made by the
Cumberland Telephone Company for
service rendered in this city. He
stated that 1t was the former commits
sion that allowed the Cumberland to
charge $3.50 for business phones when
the exchanges had between 600 and
1000 phones. Mr.. Lee was asked II
the city council and the people were
to petition the commission to change
this order so that 1t would apply to
and enforce the charges named In the
charter, If the commission would grant
the petition, and he replied IL one
other member can be had to vote for

there was nothing like trying"
AS the Cumberland Company is now
charging On a basis fixed by the COM
mission and not by the charter, it is
believed that tie commission, upon
request, would compel the Cumberland
to f1x the charges according to the
prices named in the charter, and if
this is done the Cumberland will be
compelled TO show that they are serv-
ing 800 bona fide subscribers before
they could charge the business houses
$3.50 for the service rendered.
Mr.. Lee was further asked II the
Cumberland could count as part Of
their exchange the room phones of the
Hotel Hattiesburg. He stated that he
had not investigated this feature and
was not prepared to render a de-
cision, but IL the company charged less
for these phones he thought 1t was dis
elimination, provided they were count
ed in the list OF subscribers.
Asked as to what information he
had in reference to the building Of the
Northeastern passenger station, Mr..
Lee stated that there was nothing
new.
