PREFERRED DEATH TO
KILLING HIS KING.
Suicide of Republican Leader, Alberto
Costa, Creates Tremendous Sensa-
ton in Lisbon.

LISBON, Nov. 8, (Monday, VIA The
Frontier. Alberto Costa, former mem
Der of the Chamber of Deputies and one
of the most prominent of the Republican
leaders, committed suicide her today.
His act has created a tremendous SEN
sation and the police are conducting an
Investigation.
Senior Costa was a member of the
Black Cross society which was involved
in the assassination last February of
King Carlos and Grown Prince Luis. 1t
is believed that this society selected
Costa by lot to kill the present King
Manuel. and that Costa preferred to kill
himself to committing this deed.
Costa was in prison at the time of the
assassination of King Carlos, having
been confined because of alleged connec-
ton with the plot agains his majesty.
He recently fought several political duels
in one Of which he was wounded. Last
summer he demanded the impeachment
of the members of the Franco cabinet
on charges of completely in the assassina-
ton of King Carlos.

editorials of a savagely personal nature.
Seconds were secured and a special
train chartered to take the parties to
Holly Springs, Miss. Before he could
reach the train Carmack was arrested
by Tennessee officers. Collier took the

Senator Carmack is well remembered
in Washington, where he served in both
houses of Congress. During bis sena-
torial career. from 1901 to 1907, he
made number of brilliant speeches.
Governor Makes Statement.
Gov. Patterson when seen in regard to
the shooting said:
II deeply deplore the unfortunate trag-
edy. | saw both young Mr.. Cooper and
his father in the morning and nothing
occurred to cause me to suppose any al
tercation would take place. Col. Cooper
use of his name by Senator Carmack
and | learned that he had prepared a
note to send Senator Carmack demand
ing that in future his name not be used
in editorials, as he was a mere private
citizen and should not be subject to pub
lie attack or ridicule.
Il strongly advised against sending
the note, as did his son, Robin Cooper,
and also Mr.. Bradford, believing it
might cause a difficulty, and urged him
to take no notice of the Objectionable
editorials. Col. Cooper assured me that
he would not send the note and there
would be nothing more of it. Robin
Cooper promised to stay with his father,
who seemed to be excited, and prevent
any possible trouble"

LAUNCH BIG WARSHIP.
First American Dreadnought, the North
Dakota, Glides Into Water at
Quincy Point, Mass.

QUINCY, Mass, Nov. 1O.-The bat
tleship North Dakota, the first American
war vessel of the Dreadnought class,
was launched at the yard of the Fore
River Ship Building company at Quincy
point today.
While the North Dakota follows near
ly dozen great vessels launched at the
Fore river yards, her advent into the
sea today was regarded as establishing
a new epoch in the history Of the United
States navy, because of her tremendous
strength, both on the attack and on
the defense. by the additional thickness
of her armor and by the fact that she
is the first all-big gun ship of the navy.
The christening party came on special
" from North Dakota, including Gov.
John Burke and Miss Mary Benton,
together with a number of officials and
many ladies.
When placed in commission, the North
Dakota will be $40 feet long on the load
water line. with a breadth of IS feet
2A inches at the same point. The
length over all will be about 518 feet 9
inches. The battleship will have a dis
placement of 10000 tons, 1000 in excess
of the original British Dreadnought
1t is estimated that a speed of more than
twenty-one knots will be attained on her
trial and that the battleships horse
power will exceed $4,000. Unlike her
sister ship, the Delaware, now under
construction at Newport News, Va, the
North Dakota will be fitted with Curtis
turbine engines. Including officers, the
crew will number more than 800 men.
It is estimated that when formally taken
over by the government, the North Da-
kota will have cost at least 100000,
the contract price of her hull and ma
chinery alone being $4,377, 900.

CITY IS TERRORIZED.
Series Of Crimes in Calcutta Make Ma
tives Fearful and Police Force
Is Powerless.

CALCUTTA, Nov. 1O.-The city of
Calcutta is terrorized by an outbreak of
political crimes. The attempt made three
days ago on the life of Sir Andrew H
L. Frazer, the lieutenant governor of
Bengal, was followed by a murder last
evening. \ Bengal detective, who had
been active in trailing the revolutionists,
was shot down on a crowded street by
three men who riddled his body with bull
let's. The people fear to give informa-
ton concerning the criminals lest ven
geance be visited upon them. The police
are pOWerless.

CANNON HAS STRENGTH
SPEAKERS FRIENDS MAKE STRONG
ARGUMENTS FOR HIM.
Candidates Who Announced Opposition
to Him Recently Met Defeat
at the Polls.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10
Following the arrival in the city of the
Republican members of the ways and
means committee of the House for the
tariff hearing and many other Repub-
ican congressman to attend to depart
mental business postponed until after
election, the selection of the speaker of
the Sixty-frst Congress was q subject Of
keen discussion today in Washington.
None of the arrivals cared to come out
openly in position to the reelection of
Speaker Cannon, while members who
have been closely allied with Mr.. Can
non during his occupancy of the chair
assert positively that there will be no
opposition to him by the time the Repub-
licans meet to caucus on the speaker
ship.
Mr.. Cannon's friends claim to be
greatly encouraged by the election. Not
only did the speaker himself receive
handsome plurality in his district, where
q bitter fight was waged against him,
but they point out that many of the
members who had announced their op-'
position to his reelection as speaker met
with defeat at the polls. The defeat of
Representatives Edgar G. Ellis of Kan
sas City, Mo-; J. T. Boyd, Edmund II.
Hinshaw, and George w. Norris Of Ne
braska, after they had declared their OPP
position to the speaker, is taken by the
speakers friends as an indication that
the people do not condemn Mr.. Cannon.
On the contrary, the three Missouri
districts in which he campaigned most
actively and where the Republican can
didates announced their preference for
Mr.. Cannon for speaker, retired the
Democratic congressman by electing Re
publicans.
Republican Leader Payne of New
York, who was mentioned for the speak
ership when Mr.. Cannon was first elect
ed to the chair, will support the speaker

A gentleman from the rural districts
came to grief early yesterday after
noon by driving his horse against the
gate at the Bridge street crossing of
the Maine Central Railroad while that
structure was down on account of the
approach of a train. The gate had been
lowered as Train 305, which is the Au-
gusta and South Gardiner Accommoda-
tion train on it's 1.07 trip to Augusta,
was coming up through the yard pre-
paratory to going in on the westbount
track, when a team containing a man
and woman drove upon the crossing.
The gateman saw the danger and ran
down to the crossing to stop the team,
but to no avail, and then as a last re-
sort the gate was raised sufficiently to
allow the team to pass under, which it
would have done had not the horse
reared, and in doing so struck the
gate. The woman was thrown out but
the man clung to the reins and steercd
the horse into the gutter short dis
tance up the hill where the animal be-
came mixed up with a guy wire and was
secured, but the pung was badly
wrecked. The engineer on the locomo-
tive had in the meantime seen the
trouble and stopped his engine at the
south end of the crossing. The gateman
said that the man in speaking of the
mixup afterward claimed that he did
not see the gate.
