LISBON, Apr. 4:--Troops are
being concentrated In Lisbon and
Oporto and in a half dozen other
leading Portuguese cities in anticipa-
tion of serious disorders during to-

the royalists will not precipitate a
republican effort to attack the result
on the ground of a discount and
seize the reins of power forcibly.
Rumors are In circulation that a
revolutionary plot already exists
leading toward the overthrow of the
dynasty and the declaration of re-
public as a climax to the voting.

The best demonstration Of all

voted to the orphans. Theirs is
the heritage Of helpless SUITE ring
for wrongs and misfortunes In
which they had no making, and the
burden Of their care and comfort
lays on all. Dependent on the
world, they are the worlds chill

bARKAR'S
RELATIVES
INTERESTED
Fact That He Has Become
Rich Accounts
For 1t.

Abandoned to his fate since his
arrest, Frank Barkar, the slayer
of Ira Messenger, has In the last
few days experienced sudden
awakening of interest In his behalf
among his relatives in the east.
Several kilograms and letters have
been received by him this week
from kinsmen who never took the
trouble to drop him as much as a
line during the dark days that have
passed for Barkar since he slew
the aged soldier last July.
The occasion of this is the fact
that 1t has been learned that
Barkar's father, who died about
two months ago, left him large
estate. 1t is said the father died
without knowing of his sons pre-
dicament-
Barkar's parents separated some
l6 years ago and his mother re-
married. The father after the sep
aration remained single and amass-
ed considerable wealth, the exact
amount and character of which Is
not stated, and left as his only
heir his son Frank. The latter has
not heard from his father for
years and never wrote to him after
getting into trouble here.
Barkar received the information
as tos.the new turn in his affairs
from \his grandfather, George
Craig. of Stonyfort. ILL.,, who wired
for power of attorney to protect
his interests.
Barkar's case. will be appealed
to the supreme court in the hope
OF getting his sentence committed
70 life imprisonment or securing a
hew trial. He was found guilty of
murder In the first degree. which
carries the death penalty.

LAW BARS ANY
MORE OFFICERS
MUST AMEND CONSTITUTION
BEFORE WE GET COUNTY
RECORDER Is THE CLAIM.

The point is now raised that the
legislature can not create the
Office of county recorder until the
people vote a constitutional
amendment permitting it. The
state constitution provides for the
officers that are to conduct the af-
fairs of the counties, and it is
claimed that no new offices can be
authorized until the consent of the
people is obtained.
County Commissioner-elect Phil
lips yesterday evening stated that
he had been informed by good
legal authority that the state con-
stitution barred the creation. of
any more county Offices. Mr.. Phil
lips believes the constitution must
be amended before recorder is
created.

In the matter of a contest for

that sort, he has something com

Hutchinson and Rosenhaupt are

rest of the Spokane delegation

PLAN SELF GOVERNMENT
FOR THE CANAL ZONE

Members of the house committee
will make an especial study of the
somewhat complicated problem of
the relations existing between the
American administration of the
zone and republic of Panama. Two
schemes have been proposed for
the government of the zone. One
is a federal district plan, like that
in force in the District of Colum-
bia, which is governed by a COM
mission appointed by congress.
The other is similar to that in
force in the Philippines, which in
cludes an executive commission
and an elective assembly.
The first is regarded the more
feasible because most of the in.
habitants of the zone are either
citizens of the United States or of
the republic of Panama.
