LISBON, Feb. 10.-There was a riot
this afternoon on the part of the popu-
lace to get into the cathedral where
the bodies of King Carlos and Crown
Prince Luiz are lying in state.
The crowd waiting outside for a
chance to get a last look at the muir
dered king and his son was so great
that the police were unable to close the
cathedral doors at the hour appointed
for the beginning of the ceremonies of
the final interment.
1t is estimated that no less than 10000
persons were striving at one time to
make their way into the cathedral.
The police and the gendarmes made
futile efforts to drive the mob back
from the portals. 1t was quite impos-
sible to even hold the people in check.
The surging mass thrust the policemen
to one side and forced in a side door
to the cathedral, through which 1t
poured into the main edifice.
Cavalry finally was summoned to
dispense the crowd and found it neces-
sary to charge before the people would
move. There were no casualties.
At 2 o'clock the two collins were
closed and carried to the pantheon,
where, with further ceremonies, they
will be placed in the tomb. The official
watchers at the sides of the biers were
LOudy Wy oOiiiC VI tAiO AASiAA
bers of the foreign mission to attend
the funeral, who are still In Lisbon.
Special newspapers today, notably
the Secule, independent, pleaded for. the
pardon of each and every man In prison
for political offenses. The paper points
out that King Manuel has Gained but
not disarmed the democracy, and says:
"To CONQUER the democracy the king
must win the love and confidence OF
his people"

STATE WAR
ON PLAGUE
is PLANNED
GENERAL CLEANUP OF CITIES
DESIRED
Supervisors of All Counties Having
Water Communication with San
Francisco Will Be Asked to
Attend Conference
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 10.-In order
to arouse public interest in a co-ope-
rative plan of eradicating the plague
from San Francisco, preventing its
spread to other points and to promote
sanitation in general in this part of
the state, the state board of health has
called a meeting to be held at San
Francisco next Thursday, which the
supervisors of all counties shaving
water communication with San Fran
cisco bay, and city authorities in those
counties, will be asked to attend.
The meeting will be held in the Mer-
chants Exchange building, and two
sessions will be held, one at 1890 in the
morning and the second at 1880 in the
afternoon.
DIR. N. K. Foster, secretary of the
board, said today in regard to the
meeting: "Our desire is to get together
as many city and county authorities as
possible. The counties which we have
asked to be represented include all OF
those having water connection with
the bay as far north as Yolo and SUIT
ter, including Sacramento, San Joa-
quin, Solano, etc. We have invited
from these counties the board of SUI
pervisors, city boards of trustees, city
| board of health, health officers, and
other such officials. The purpose of the
meeting is threefold.
Seeks Conformity of Action
First, we desire to have conformity
of action in driving out the plague and
an absence of friction between NUM-
cipalities, counties and health authori-
| ties.
Second we wish to interest the Off
Gals of counties and towns in the pas
sage of ordinances requiring the people
to clean up their property, take care OF
their garbage, make their chicken
yards rat proof, and make everything
in general sanitary.
Third, we hope to induce the boards
of -.ervisors and city trustees to
provide in their next tax levy suffi-
Client funds to carry on any sanitary
work which is found desirable.
"Of course, our primary object is to
stamp out the plague, but in doing
this we hope to better sanitary condi-
lions all around. Filth means the per-
petuity of plague, and other diseases
and cleanliness means their curbing.
| In speaking of the war being made
on the plague at San Francisco, DR..
Foster said the work done by the
| health authorities has been eminently
satisfactory but he still finds that
there is lamentable lack of public In
terest. 1t is with the hope of getting
| the people to take interest in matters
of this kind and to keep interested that
| the meeting has been called for next
| Thursday.
