by Secret Passages

LISBON, Oct. z, 1920 a. m.-On ac-
count of reports that some troops in
the provinces have not yet declared
their adherence to the republic, the
provisional government is exercising
great vigilance.
Thirty mine heay guns and 10 Max
inns have been posted in trenches en-
the heights of the city, and are ready
to check any attempted invasion of
Lisbon.
The encamped forces of the provis-
ional government have detailed 200
soldiers and armed civilians to police
duty in guarding public and other
buildings, especially the banks of the
city. All carriages passing through the
streets are closely inspected. The
wearing of, or carrying of small re-
publican flags of green and red, is
considered the open sesame to safe
conduct.
During the night all shops and res
taurants in Lisbon were closed.
The authorities sent a force today to
search the ~mona stery at Graca and ar
rest the friars. On arriving they
found the doors barricaded. The sol
diers and members of the populace
fired several voleys into the building,
whereupon the friars returned the fire,
their bullets striking the roadway and
adjacent buildings. The attackers
Withdrew for consultation.
Shortly they returned, assailing the
heavy doors of the convent with bat
tering rams. When the doors yielded,
the soldiers and people rushed liz and
searched every corner of the edifice,
but not friar was to be found. 1t is
surmised they made their escape by
underground passages.

WIDE INTEREST IN BRAGA


WIDE INTEREST In BRAGA
The most interesting man in Portu
gal is the new president, Theophile
Braga, who may be said without eX-
aggeration to be the father, not only
of this revolution but of that in Brazil,
having by his standing as a professor
in history and philosophy prepared
the ground for both movements. His
unassuming manner may be inferred
from the fact that last might, after
having been elected first president of
Portugal he returned as usual in a
second class compartment of the train
to his unpretentious little home in the
suburbs, quietly receiving the con-
gratulations of the richest and hum
blest of his friends and deprecating
acknowledging the frantic ovations of
his fellow citizens.
Braga today received the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press. He
desired it to be understood that. the
revolution had no political basis, but
like those In Brazil and Turkey, was
the outcome of philosophical ideas.
PHILOSOPHY IN REVOLT
The Braganza dynasty had failed to
keep abreast Of modern progress, he
said. and had done nothing to make
the people masters of their own des-
complete the realization of civil life.
One of the means by which the late
dynasty had endeavored to maintain
Its position, he said. was to menace
the people continually with British
Intervention to crush popular senti-
ment, as If an ancient alliance between
the two nations were one between
dynasties and not peoples.
Senior Braga concluded by eulogiz-
ing his colleagues, all of whom, he
said, had his utmost confidence. The
government is about to order re-
vision of the voting lists preliminary
to holding elections for a constituent
chamber. The provisional government
will not remain in office beyond three
months.
The chief points in the governments
program are: First, the development
of education, and defenses on land
and sea; second, administrative decen-
tralization; third, colonial autonomy;
fourth, to guarantee fundamental lib
erty by judicial power; fifth, expulsion
of monks and nuns; sixth, obligatory
civic registration; seventh, develop
ment of lay instruction; eighth, sepa-
ration of church and state; ninth, the
strengthening of the credit and finances
of the country.

DO NORTHWESTERNERS WANT
TWO BALL CLUBS IN TACOMA?

do / want the Western Wash
Y con league to play in Tacoma
this season." is a question which
President Joe Cohn of the Indians
is asking himself today, with the
indications pointing to Eyes" wire
as soon as Chief Joseph has turned
the matter over in his mind and
surveyed 1t from different angles.
The proposed league. comprising
Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Olympia, Mon
ttsano, Chehalis and either Tacoma
or Centralia. is anxious to play at
Quinn's park when the Tigers are
away from home.
AS the brand of ball put up by
the new league cannot compare
with the Northwestern article, COhn
figures that it would be wise
move to permit the circuit to in
wade Tacoma. The secondary club
will boost the game and arouse
more baseball enthusiasm. Then,
too, Joe dopes it out that the com
parison between the ball played by
the two circuits will give the Tigers
even better support than with only
one club in the town.
NEW PLACE FOR TICKETS.
Attention, ladies: Those of you
who are anxious to purchase one of
those season tickets but are averse
to entering a cigar store to make
the purchase, may secure one for a
double eagle at Hill Bros. shoe
store, on Riverside avenue.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-03-11

Several complaints have been
made regarding the inability of the
lady fan to purchase tickets because
no one is handling them outside of
the cigar trade, so Chief Joe ac-
cnmmodatingly appointed a new
agent.
THE BALL PARK
Cohn is deep in consultation with
the Traction officials today looking
toward the speedy erection of an
eastern section of bleachers at
Recreation park and the enlarge
ment of the grandstand. Within a
few days operations will commence
and by the aviation meet date, April
