Hitchcock Back at Howard:
Calls Names; Gives No Facts

The following self made interview Is sent
TO The Bee by Congressman Hitchcock
with a special request for publication:
Yes" said Gilbert M. Hitchcock, in re-
ply to a question, 81 have read Edgar
Howard's insinuations that had borrowed
state funds fifteen or twenty years ago
and that I still owe money 10 the state,
81 have also read his statement that the
inslnuations he makes win force me to re-
tire from the ticket
Both statements are false.
Il never borrowed state funds ana do
not owe the state treasury any money.
Howard may or may not be sincere
when he gives utterances to this false in
situation.
''When, however, he says that / Will re-
tire from the ticket he utters what he
knows TO be false
six weeks ago, after the primaries, he
wrote me complaining that / had branded
MIN as a liar and insinuaung that II
would withdraw the statement he would
support and defend me from the very
charges he now publishes His offer OF
defense was IN these words;
DO YOU not now realize that, by adyer-
Using me "A lalslIler, you have done
much to detract from the power OF my ap-
beals when ] shall ask the people to be-

Possibility for

ference.

BEVERLY. Mass, oct. i0.-A conference
with Senator Elihu Root Of New York
filled President Tafts program today. His
lame left foot kept the president off the
golf links again.
Senator Roots visit has caused much
speculation here. It was said his advice
might be sought by the president as to the
prospective supreme court appointments
Senator Root has been mentioned as q
possibility for one OF the vacant places on
the bench
The political situation in New York un-
doubtedly has something to do with Sen.
ator Roots VISIT. He acted as permanent
chairman OF the Saratoga convention.
A published report that President Taft
is going to Panama to block an illegal
scheme Of capitalists to obtain monopoly
Of the coal supply on the isthmus when the
canal is opened was officially denied here

PORTUGUESE WANT BLOOD
Leaders of Revolution Unable to Re
strain Followers.
CLERGY ARE BRUTALLY ABUSED
Police Have Hard Time RepreSsinE
the Mob Spirit, InfInmed by the
RumOred Resistance of
Ecclesinstics.

LISBON, Oct. 1O-The revolutionary lead
ers, having overthrow the monarchy, are
now confronted with the scarcely less ser
ious task of putting an end to excesses on
the part Of the rougher element of their
own followers who having had a taste of
mob rule, are prone to continue lawless-
ness for its own sake.
The decree of summary Punishment for
the religious orders gave excuse for brutal
outrages against the clergy. The provl-
sional government has now recognized the
seriousness Of the situation and today the
police adopted severe measures to prevent
the population sacking the religious estab-
lishments and to check the demonstrations
against the religionists pending their ex-
pulslon.
Reports that the clerlcals were carrying
on a guerrilla warfare from the windows
OF their establishments inflamed the public
resentment against the relgionists, many
OF whom were chased from their churches
and converts.
The mob which battered down the doors
of the convent In the Rua Do Ouelhas
was led by fanatics and a gang Of ruffians,
who seized the occasion to destroy every
thing In sight. Images and statues were
wrenched from nickes in the chapel alters
were wrecked, furniture broken and the
SdCf6uOlal NeSlIuenlS carried OH Dy the
rioters. Later the police recovered the
greater part Of the vestments

The crowd flocked to the scene, but the
military arrived IN time TO protect the
church and the legation from possible vio-

sTARKvILLE, Colo, Oct 1O.--High hope
spread over this stricken mining camp this
morning when news was brought out of
the Starkville mine, where two score or
more of miners are entombed from an ex-
plosion last Saturday, that fans providing
pure air to the mine had been put in op-
eraton systematically and that the impris-
oned men would be located within the day
unless efforts of rescuers were further
blocked by the wreckage.
This information was given out officially
by State Mine Inspector John r. Jones.
He based his opinion upon the fact that a
double force for driving out the bad air
in the mine had been successfully effected
through the stationing of the portable fan
well within the short cut of the Starkviile
mine, where the fan in the main entrance
to the Englevile mine had been reversed,
and both were working together upon the
same objective.
1t is known that probably eleven men in
the mine when the explosion occurred Sat
urday night are at least a mile from the
first crOss-cut through which the bad air
in the StarkVlle mine Is supposed to be
flowing into its sister mine on the other
side of the hill. Without any stretch of
the imagination" said Inspector Jones to-
day, these men could be alive and per
fectly safe unless a CAVERN crushed out
their lives or the black damp had reached
them while the fans we're being set up"
Fans Are Working.
When dawn broke today it found mine
officials, state mine inspectors, helmet men
and other expert mining men faithfully
working to reach the half hundred or moro
miners entrapped in the StarSyille mine
by the explosion OF Saturday night
Word came out Of the mouth OF the mine
at midnight that the portable fan near
the entrance TO the east slope, or short
cut OF the mine was working with pre-
cision. The deadly after damp, which
threatened the lives Of the rescuers and
drove them from the slope yesterday had
been scattered Immediately away from the
fan, and the belief was expressed that the
