LISBON, Sept. 22.-In an attempt
to escape suspicion in connection with
the latest anti rnonarchical plot. which
led TO the raiding of bomb factory,
Republicans are to-day charging that
the anti clerical attitude of King Man
uel and the cabinet is responsible for
the movement. The charge is being
supported by the anti clericals.
Though there is nothing tangible to
support the ciericafs, II is an open
secret that they are doing everything
in their power to foster the agitation
against the government in the hope of
checking the fight being now made
against a number of Catholic orders.

MAYOR MAKES
CRAFT CHARGES

Texarkana, Aug. 16. THE
city authorities on the Texas
side are engaged in a serious
controversy with the MaXcy
Company, construction and
building concern. which has
been engaged during the past
few months under a contract
with Bowie county, Texas, IN
building something over 5000. 600
worth of good roads in the city
and vicinity. the bonds of which
were voted by the taxpayers, last
year. Some weeks ago Mayor
DeLoach and the City Council
contracted with the Maxcy Com
pany to build storm sewers for
Texarkana, Tex. The mayor
now alleges that the work was
not done in accordance with the
terms of the contract and he
has instituted an investigation
at which sworn testimony is be-
ing taken.
Both the city and the Maxey
Company are being represented
by their attorneys. Mayor De-
Loach also charges petty
graft" in connection with the
building of the good roads by
the Maxcy Company and has
announced that he will institute
criminal proceedings should he
find that the testimony now be-
ing brought out will warrant it.
Further developments are looked
for.

REUNION DATE
PLEASES LOCALLY

The selection of May 16, II
and Is as the date for holding
the Confederate reunion in this
city in 1911 is highly pleasing to
those interested locally in the
success of the reunion.
General B. W. Green, a mem
Der of the general committee in
charge of the reunion plans,
stated this morning that so far
as he knew no better date could
have been chosen.
The date is satisfactory in
every way as far as | know,
said General Green. I'VE took
into consideration the probable
weather conditions of that season
as indicated by the records of
the weather bureau for some
years past and found that the
middle days of May are more ac-
ceptable as to weather condl-
tions, and we believe that the
date will be most seasonable
along other lines as well, enabl-
ing us..to secure the largest pos
sible attendance and to give the
old soldiers the reception OF
their lives.
General J. F. Smith ard others
are also pleased with the date
named, and believe it will be the
best from ali points of view.
Just at this time General
Smith, who is department COM
mander for Arkansas. is making
a tour of the camps and towns
of the State. enlisting support
generally and explaining that
the reunion is not merely a
Little Rock affair, but one touch
ing the whole State. He reports
an lenthuastic reception every
where he has gone.
