RESPECT KINGS PROPERTY
REPUBLICANS PROBABLY WILL
PRESERVE 1T UNTOUCHED.
Animals in Lisbon Zoo Became III
During the Recent Bombard-
ment of the City.

Lisbon, Portugal Almerda,
minister of the interior, discussing the
question of the disposal of King Man
ueTs property, said: II cannot speak
in the name of the government, for no
decision has yet been made officially
But my own personal view is what be-
longs to the nation, the nation will re-
tain, and that which belongs to the
king will be kept for him and re-
spected.
I'VE shall make an Inventory of all
the possessions of his majesty. At the
present all royal palaces are closed,
carefully guarded, and the cabinet will
decide what is to be done with them.
Those palaces which belong to the fa-
tion will undoubtedly become mu-
seums, or schools, or III some way be
turned to public benefit Those which
are the kings personal heritage will
remain so, but if the king has left
debts to the nation these debts must
be satisfied.
"A curious result of the revolution
is that all the animals at the zoo are
very i'll. They were so alarmed at the
bombardment that they have refused
to eat or drink since. A favorite chin
panzee is expected to die"

DISPATCHER ON MCKINLEY SYS.
TEN TEsTIFIEs AT INQUEST
REGARDING ORDER.
WENT 55 MILES AN HOUR
Motorman of southbound Car in the
Staunton Disaster Made High
Speed-Inquiry Postponed to
Get Conductors Testimony.

Carlinville, Ill.-After the first days
session of the inquest concerning the
deaths of 81 passengers who lost
their lives in the Mckinley inter-
urban wreck at Staunton October
had been completed here, Coroner
Doris II. Karnes announced an in
definite adjournment. Its object is
to await the recovery of Conductor
Duncan of the southbound limited
car, who is in the Granite City hos
pital. Duncan was hurt in the acci-
dent, and his testimony is desired to
complete the evidence at the hearing.
The first witness examined was Roy
Alexander of Staunton, who up to the
time of the wreck had been cbsef dis
patcher for the traction system and
in charge of the division office at
Staunton, which dispatches both ways
on the Springfield and st. Louis divi-
sions. In the wreck w. w. Street,
the division superintendent, lost his
life, and Mr.. Alexander has since then
been acting superintendent.
Alexander was called to give expert
testimony as to the methods of opera
ting the lines. He explained the gov
erning power of the time card or reg
ular schedule of meeting points and
station times when all trains were
regular and running on time.
Fl. o. Lamb, who has been train
dispatcher at Staunton for the last
two years, took the stand. He stated
he was on duty at the time of the
wreck, and had given the orders i'm
mediately preceding. The original
copy of the orders was found in the
locker of Motorman John Herman of
the northbound car. He placed them
there on returning to headquarters at
Staunton Immediately after the acct
dent. The other car men also pos
sessed copies of the same order, which
was further substantiated by the orig
inal in the dispatcher's book.
Runs SIS Miles an Hour.
Z. J. Young of Staunton, who has
been a motorman since June 10, this
year, and was handling the controller
on the southbound car, testified the
northbound car was just coming of
the Cahokia bridge when he saw 1t
the distance being 500 or 600 feet
His car was running SO to 55 miles
an hour, which speed, he estimated
would require distance Of 1000 fee
to stop.
Young declared he used every effor
to pull the speed down, that he threw
over the reverse and held the motors
in the reverse motion until the carr
were almost together, when he Sc

motorman, leaped from his place a

EDUCATION AND VOCATION.

The Boston school board has estab-
lished vocation bureau" the pur-
pose of which is to ascertain the con.
dition, the needs, the natural tastes,
the hopes and plans, of the boys and
girls In the grades, in an effort to as
sist them toward life work with the
least waste of time and effort, says
st. Paul Pioneer Press. Records are
to be kept of pupils for two or three
years before they leave school, show
ing to what extent their vocational
desires change and shift, and to what
effect they are likely to make wise
choice Of their life work. This is
but first step in a movement that is
growing oil over the country for the
purpose of bringing education into di-
rect alliance with livelihood. If 1t
we're absolutely known Just what fu-
ture employment pupil was best suit
ed for and most cared for, it would
as to save waste, both to the pupil
and to the school. In England the
educational boards are cooperating
with labor exchanges and boards Of
trade in an effort to keep track of
pupils after they leave school, and to
save them from falling into lines of
employment in which the money ex-
pended for their education by the
state will not be justified.

PREPARES ANOTHER BIG LEoIs-
LATIvE GRIST FOR NEXT
SESSION TO GRIND.
FAv0Rs CURRENCY REFORM
Message viii Recommend Congress to
Pass Law to Restrict Development
Of Water Power on Public
Lands by Private Capital.

Beverly, Mass. President Taft gives
promise of delivering to congress in
his annual message an abundant grist
for the legislative mill. 1t was learned
that the president will call for long
list of new statutes.
Efforts to promote economical ad-
ministrations of the government will
be emphasized in the message.
The message will recommend that
congress pass a law that will permit
the development of water power on
public lands by private capital, but
that the government shall keep re-
straining hand on the concessions in
order to prevent extortion or monop-
oily.
Another hard problem concerns the
disposition to be made of the stores
Of coal, oil and phosphates on public
lands. Congress disposed of one
phase of the coal question, but the
disposition of the Alaska coal depos-
its and other problems remain.
Renews Two Propositions.
Two propositions that have hereto
fore been strongly urged upon con-
gress by the president will be repeat.
ed in the message-an amendment
for the Sherman antitrust law and
federal charters for corporations. The
proposed amendment tos the Sherman
law would permit railroads to enter
into limited agreements as to rates
subject TO the aDproyal of the Inter
state Commerce commission.
Taft believes that the granting OF
federal charters to large corporations
would give the government direct con
troll.
Great progress will be reported by
the message in the work on the Pan
ANA camel, and it's immediate FORTH
cation will be recommended. Con
gress will be urged to adopt some
measure for the improvement of the
dwindling merchant marine.
New Form of Government for Alaska
Senators and representatives will
be asked to consider the question o.
surrendering their privilege Of max
ing certain appointments, in order
that more government employees ma.
be placed on the civil service roll.
Other suggestions, in all probabil
| ity, will include a new form Of gov
| eminent for Alaska, strengthening o

the issuing of injunctions without no
