PORTUGAL AND
SPAIN COMPLAIN
Each Country Says the Other is Per-
mttlns conspracies to be
Hatched Out

MADRID. May 19.-Spain and Port
ugal have exchanged complaints
Spain that Portugal is permitting anti
monarchist Spanish plotters to incu-
bate their plans in Lisbon, and Portu-
gal that Spain is allowing Portuguese
anti-republicans to hatch conspiracies
at Vigo, Fuentes de Onora, Badaioz
and other border towns.
Both complaints are believed to be
well-founded. Spain does not enjoy
having a republic adjoining 1T so
closely. Portuguese monarchists are
certainly active along the Spanish side
of the frontier and Spain refuses to
interfere with them-pretending that
it has no knowledge that any are
there, though of course it really has.
Portugal recently refused formally to
authorize Spanish anti-monarchist
association to establish headquarters
in Lisbon. The association was estab.
lished, however, without formal
authority and the Lisbon government
is not troubling it. The situation
promises serious friction between the
two countries.

Work With Great Caution and
Is Calming Many New

LONDON, May 19.-Alarmed by re-
ports of the spread of socialism in
the English navy, Conservative men,
bers of the House of Commons intend
to bring the matter up in parliament
shortly Unless Secretary of the
Navy McKenna Is able to satisfy
them that accounts of the movements
growth are much exaggerated, they will
make strong effort to secure steps
toward checking Though just hoN
this is to be done is not clear.
The present excitement is directly
due to recent article in the socialist
newspaper Justice" in which 1t was
stated that the paper is sending it's
correspondents in the navy occasion
al parcels of leaflets and pamphlets
for free distribution and will be glad to
receive and forward anything of the
kind which may be sent us for that
purpose. AS may be understood. corr
esiderable care has to be exercised
in carrying on such work, and natur-
ally we cannot give our correspond
ents' names or addresses.
II is perhaps needless to say that
because the men are becoming more
intelligent, through more initiative
and intelligence being demanded OF
them, they find the feudalism OF the
service all the more revolving. In a
service journal recently there ap-
peared an article referring to the
spread of socialism under the sitle Of

iron Worker Makes Affidavit That
the Detective Was the Man
Who Planted all the
Dynamite.
BURNS LAUGH
lnformer Did Not See Anything
Blown up But Claims He Told
Burns Where to do
tho Jobs.

PITTSBURG, May 19.-James Eli
oft, of 2349 Bedford avenue. a struc.
tural iron worker, who says that he
mas been employed by Detective w. ].

cy, made an affidavit last night at the

Walter Drew, New York attorney
and secretary of the National Erectors
Association; John Bushey, local repre-
sentative of the National Erectors AS
sociation, and William Tanney, owner
OF local detective agency, in dyna.
hitting plots.
The sum of Elliotts confession is
that Detective Burns was employed by
the National Erectors' Association to
destroy property belonging to them
which had been erected by non-union
labor and do 1t in such way that it
would appear to have been done by
union men.
The object of all the dynamiting
cases was to arouse the people of the
country in such way that the struc.
tural iron workers union would be in
jured. His statement is that the Ma
tional Erectors' Association, through
Detective Burns. is responsible for al
most all the dynamiting outrages that
have been committed throughout the
country for the last three years.
Elliott says that he never saw any
of the plots executed. but that it was
his work to show where to place the
dynamite for the worst effects.
Elliott was taken to the Central po
lice station by Detective Roach, where
he is being detained until some furth-
er investigation can be made of his
story Following the statement at the
labor temple Elliott mad. another one
at the police station covering the
same ground.
The first statement was made be-
fore William ]. Kelly, president of the

Structural iron Workers Union and Fl.
w Iegleitner, vice president of the
international Association of National

William ]. Burns said last night that
he never heard of Elliott and laughed
at the idea of his being implicated in
a plot to ruin Mcnamara. 1T is
good joke said Burns, "but l am not
surprised to hear that am in plot.
Stories Of that sort may be expected
for some time. | don't know thing
about It,

Unconscious Be-

BLOOMINGTON, III. May 49,
Jesse Barker, wealthy farmer living
near Fletcher, west Of Bloomington,
and his daughter, Mrs. James Leary,
were shot and probably fatally wound
ed by the latter's husband. Both vic
tins were conveyed to Bloomington
hospital in dying condition. After
shooting the two victims, Leary swaI-
lowed carbolic acid, dying at 1880
o'clock. last night
Leary. who was 46 years old, and
the father of five children, all at
home, separated from his wife last

Jersey. He returned unexpectedly,
and finding his father-in-law on the
premises rushed to the kitchen, se-
cured the gun and shot the elder man
in the side. AS he fell, Leary's wife
hearing the shot, ran around the
house, but before she could make a
move to escape the enraged man shot

entering her head and face. She wore
of glass were forced into her eyes,
binding her perhaps for life, in case
she should recover from the gunshot
wounds.
While the children peered terrified
from windows at their father, he
drew the bottle of acid from his pock.
ct and swallowed the contents, falling
between his two victims. AS soon az
possible the neighbors were notified
and the two persons injured were
conveyed to the hospital. Leary be-
came unconscious and died without
making any statement.

acres, situated across the road from
the Leary farm, and he has been try
ing to protect his daughter from the
III treatment of her husband. His c1.
forts embittered Leary toward him
and he had threatened vengeance.

Many Dogs In France.

There are more dogs in France
than most countries. Thus it appears
that to one thousand inhabitants there
are rs dogs in France and only 3S in
England, 81 in Germany and IL in
Sweden. Still, hydrophobia Is ex-
tremely rare in the department of the
Seine, the last case observed dating
back to the year 1905. Doctor Martel
says this good state of things has
been brought about by the law for
killing not only every mad dog bu,
also for killing every dog any mad
dog may have bitten or played with.
But since this law cannot work out
to perfection the French also ex.
terminate all stray dogs.
