Tacoma Lawyer Writes.
A Tacoma lawyer thus backs up
the insurgent movement: In Ia
coma there is a very large contin-
gency ready to fall our way. This
applies especially to the young Re
i rublicans.'
Another letter from Wenatchee
says Friends of insurgency are ris-
ing on every side and I hear three
times the favorable comment / ex-
posted to hear in the western part OF

A citizen of Waterville thus ex-
presses himself: 1T pleases me to
know that you are not in sympathy
with the autocratic Republican lead
ers. / believe the Republican party
must go down to defeat If its leaders
do not awaken to the fact that the
people demand more consideration
at their hands"
From Burlington: GAS an insur-

Think Course is Right.
A man of great prominence in AS
otin county says: 81 believe that the
course you have taken in your con-
gressional career commends you to
all right thinking men. Keep up the
fight"
A well known business man of
Houghton writes thus vigorously: 81

and commentator for the fearless
stand you have taken in combating
the vicious rules of Cannon in the

though not hide-bound or standpat,
as the party bosses say; but if the
Republican party is to endure longer
the leadership must pass to men like
La Toilette, Dolliver, Cummins,
Clapp and men of the same class in
the house. I am glad you had the
backbone to stand up as a represen-
tative from great state and demand
a correction in the rules whereby a
presiding officer uses his power to
stifle the desires and deny the rights
of representatives who may be at
variance with his plans. Among
other abuses in congress, the rules
and conditions in both house and
senate must be revised; and, tenn
porarly. Aldrich and Cannon will dis
cipline those who labor for correc-
tions. We have already begun to
feel the thumbscrews of advancing
prices on all the common necessities
of life. We expect that the few loyal
fighting insurgents like yourself will
win a little something grudgingly
from the machine when it slips cog,
but that later you will win a COM
plete victory

from Seattle says: $50 far as I can
Judge, the people out here seem to be

A letter from a large dealer in lum-

New York, Nov. 2.-Majof General

be found comparatively harmless. At
a range less than 5000 feet he Is con-
v1nced that sharpshooter's guns. could
easily pick off the best of them, while
at a greater height their distance would
probably defeat their own purpose.
In the present unperfected state of

some mighty accurate shaTpshooting.
If he can escape the bullets he will be
of great aid to his commander In de-
scribing the position of the enemy, the

forces, etc., but the chances of his

''I would use sharpshootefs and not
common cannon against a hostile
aeroplane or fleet of aeropdanes. The

STARTS AT LAST.
First Train From Marysville
into Topeka Today.
Lincoln Service Will Be Started
Next Spring..

Train service between Topeka and
Marysville over the newly completed
Onaga cutoff line, became a. reality to-
day when the first train from Marys-
vile arrived in Topeka at noon. The
schedule calls for one train each way
daily except Sunday, leaving Topeka at
10:40 a. m. and arriving here on the
return trip at Hoo p. m.
1t originally was intended to run
through passenger service from Kansas
City to Lincoln over this line, but Of
ficials of that road decided 1t would
be better to wait until SIring, when
the track will be more settled and safer
for fast running. The present service
will continue until the spring time card
becomes effective.
For the present the trains will con-
meet at Marysville with train over the
Blue Valley branch for Lincoln, Omaha
and other Nebraska points.
The service between Topeka and
Marysville' starting today marks the
completion of this line which has been
in process of construction for the past
five years The line was projected or
iginaI1y from Topeka to Marysville as
the Topeka & Northwestern. Rails
were laid as far as Onaga, and train
service established that far, when the
panic of 1907 stopped all Improvement
work on that road. Work was stopped
for eighteen months before construct
ion started north of Onaga-
The Union Pacific plans to use this
line as a cutoff to the Pacific coast
over which fast freight trims will be op-
crate. BY using the st. Joseph & Grand
Island, Neb., connection will be made
with the main line of the Union Paci
fic through Nebraska Shipments rout-
ed over this line will save several hours
in the run from Kansas City to Chey-
enne, Wyoming, as that route will be
"a miles shorter. It will mean a saw
ing of nearly a day in Kansas City
Pacific coast shipments.
Although the line will be used pri-
marily for fast freight it. is not i'm
probable that later passenger service
will be inaugurated to Nebraska points.
in addition to the Kansas City-Lin-
coin train, if the business justifies ir.
local train will be put on between
Kansas City and Omaha.

PARADE OF 10000
Big Demonstration Is Planned
by Strikers in Chicago.
Chief Steward Says Engraved
Visiting Cards Don't Go.

Chicago, Nov. 2-Mayor Busse, it was
learned today, will be asked for a per-
NIT to allow a parade of 10000 persons
as demonstration by striking garment
workers and their friends. They expect
that the permit will be refused, in
which case another application will be
made just before the impending cleo
ton.
Chief of Police Steward declared to-
ers and college girls who have donned
the garb of workers. will be treated ex-
actly like any striker.
Their engraved visiting cards, he re-
clared, do not impress him in the least.
1.-The police have exercised great re-
straint in handling the crowds" he de-
clared, "and will continue to do SO but
! the society women and social workers
who hope to intimidate the police are
on the wrong track. If they are dis
orderly they will be arrested"
1t is said to be one of the purposes
of these society pickets to submit to
arrest in order to diScredit the police
whom they accuse of brutality, by prov
ing their own innocence of infringing
the law.
Demonstrations were resumed today.
Several hundred striking garment
workers congregated at West Jackson
boulevard and South Green street and
claim to have gained many recruits
from workers on their way to the day S

a demonstration was contemplated at
this point.
Fifteen persons were at work in the
small tailor shop of Cohen Co. at 1922
North Ashland avenue, when a hun

tire force to Join them. The mob then
stoned the building, breaking the win

one man was arrested, charged with
disorderly conduct and melting a riot.

BURR LAKIN IN TROUBLE
Charged With Forging Mother-in-
Laws Name to Check.

Sacramento, Cal, Nov. 2.-Charles
B. Wilmarth, secretary of the Pioneer
Fruit company, today swore out COM
plant charging Burr P. Lakin with
forging the name of his mother-in-
law, Florida B. Moore-Hart, to a
check for $685., which he cashed at the
Pioneer Fruit company.
Lakin was supposed to be travelling
salesman for a San Francisco lumber
Company. He is well known in this
city, and his signature was supposed to
be all right.
When the check was first presented
to Wilmarth he telegraphed to the
First National bank of Pueblo, Colo,
on which the check was made out, and
received the reply that the signature
of Mrs. Moore-Hart was good. Upon
receipt of the assurance the sum of
$685. was paid out on the check.
When the check was returned to the
Pueblo bank the forgery was detected.
In the meantime, Lakin had dropped
out of sight. His present whereabouts
is unknown, so every attempt is being
made to locate him.
Burr Lakin formerly lived in To-
peka and was prominent in society
circles.

THREATEN REVOLT
Soldiers Of Portugal Send
Round Robin to Braga.
Demand the Pensions and Pro-
motions Promised Them.

Lisbon, Nov 2.-The new republic
of Portugal is threatened with mill
tary revolution. The Second and Fifth
regiments today addressed a round
robin to Provisional President Braga,
declaring that they were prepared for
an insurrection if they were not
granted the promised promotions and
pensions for helping overthrow the
monarchy The government probably
will yield.
The royalists who have adhered to
the republic demand the same rewards
as the revoIutionists proper seek to
exact The revolutionary crew of the
cruiser Sac Raphael, which lombard
ed the royal palace, during the revolu-
tionary outbreak. has been dismissed.
The crew of the cruiser Adamaster,
which fired upon the home of King
Manuel, has refused to leave the vessel
unless the members are guaranteed a
pension of SIS a month each for life.
In order to avoid disorders it is likely
that the government will grant all of
these demands.
A secret committee representing an
element that is dissatisfied with the
course of the new government has
been planning a revolution for some
time. Last night it held a meeting to
protest against the leniency shown by
Braga and his associates toward the
members of the old regime. There
are also troubles in the provinces
where the people refuse to recognize
the government appointees to positions
of trust on the ground that the new
officers are incapable. Disorders in the
provinces on the occasion of the cleo
tions for members of the constituent
assembly are feared.
Teixerira de Sousa Abreu, Malheiro
and Reymao, former members of the
Franco cabinet and Jointly charged
with having issued Illegal DEGREES,
were arrested today.
