LONDON, Oct. Mot only did the
royal insurrection suffer a severe
setback in Portugal today but tonight
there are grave fears here for ex-
King Manuel himself. 1t was rumor-
ed yesterday that the deposed mon
arch was on his way to put himself
his native country.
Today the statement was given
out from his English residence at
Richmond that these reports were
untrue, that. Manuel was still at
Richmond and that he had no idea of
going to Portugal.
Tonight, however, it leaked out, on
the highest court authority, that for
two days Manuel has been seen
neither at Richmond nor any where
in England. The Richmond residence
is heavily guarded by police and visi-
tors are not even permitted to lin
ger in the vicinity.
Since he was last seen here, the
ex-king has had time to cross the
Portuguese frontier and If he did so
it is considered more than likely
that he took part in today's fighting
which ended in so disastrous a de-
feat for his followers. Owing to the
strictness of the Portuguese censor
ship only the most meagre details of
the fighting have filtered through to
the Spanish cities along the frontier.
There seems not to have been a
single big battle, but series of fierce
skirmishes, resulting in victory for
the republicans all along the line.
The royalists are reported to have
retreated into the mountainous dis
tricts near the Spanish frontier
| where they may keep up guerilla
campaign for some time.
How great the loss of life has
been thus far is not known, but
Spanish reports are that the en-.
gagements were very determined and
that many on both sides W. killed
Twenty royalists are said to have
been left dead near Oporto alone.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Oct 7.-Des
pite the fact that they had lost the
first round in their play for position,
attorneys for the Mcnamara brothers
who will go on trial here next week
for the murder in connection with the
destruction of the building of the Los
Angeles Times year ago, were jubi-
liant tonight. They openly declare that
if their clients are continued, Judge
Bordwell's action today in informally
announcing that he would neither
grant change OF judge or venue,
when such motions are made next
week, would result in a reversal by
the higher courts.
Formal affdavits asking for the
change of judge on the ground that
Judge Bordwell was preiudiced were
filed this afternoon. They review the
action of the court and cite specific
instances which are alleged to prove
conclusively that Bordwell believes
the men guilty.
The actual trial will begin Wednes-
day when the first venire summoned
will report. The district attorney pos
itiyely declines to admit which of the
two prisoners he will try first, but the
defense believes it must be Jas. B.
Mcnamara, and are making prepara-
tions accordingly. Neither side ex-
poets to complete the jury under a
month or six weeks. Because of this,
few of the witnesses will be in attend
ance Wednesday.
Both sides are supremely confident
District Attorney Fredericks said this
afternoon that. he had completed his
case and that he had left no loop,
hole.
I'VE have an absolutely perfect
case against these two men,, he said
to the United Press tonight, "and we
will absolutely refute the allegations
that their arrest was private detec-
tive frame-up."
Fredericks will have associated with
him Detective VIM. j. Burns, who has
built up the entire case against the
men, and a dozen attorneys, among
whom is Oscar Lawler, formerly at,
torney general for the department OF
the interior. Other lawyers for the
prosecution will be S. E. Vermeyea, a
noted expert on criminal law and form
er United States senator.
Meanwhile the defense is keeping
quiet regarding its plans. Chief coun.
sci Clarence Darrow has worked out
what he considers perfect defense
which he is keeping strictly under GOV.
er. The fact, however, that he retain.
ed two of the best known expert chem.
lists in the United States has indica.
ted one of his lines. From a source
close to the defense it was learned
tonight that the allegation that the
Times was destroyed by dynamite will
be strongly contested. 1t will be prov

the laws of Los Angeles were violated
by the owner of the Times. This will

the device to the United States navy

turned over to the bureau OF construc-
tion and repair and by that bureau
was rejected. Mr.. Askeg=en contends
that the matter should have been sub
mitted to the bureau of equipment,
which he believes was the proper place
for IL and where he is convinced the
patent would have had different treat

Mr.. Askegren's device will load 100
tons or more of coal per hour and he
says the navy department has now Sc

only 81 tons per hour. He worked
four years on his. invention and he
brought into use a vast fund of knowl-
edge gained through years Of expe-
rience as a seaman. He believes that

From Headquarters
Hiking is the thing for the Boy
Scouts, every one of the four hundred
thousand Boy Scouts of America went
on hike this summer. 1t may have
been a tramp Of only five miles or Il
may have been to establish a record,
striving to walk six or seven hundred
the lads for tramping through the
woods and over the mountains was
greater this summer than ever before.
More boys were eager for the outdoor
life. Guided by Scout Masters, who
saw to it that they did not over-exert
themselves and who looked out for
their health and comfort, the boys had
more fun in limited time than ever
before. When wearied they sat down
to rest and they had Scout Masters
who told them stories of adventure
and history or discussed some inspir-
ing topic.
Could all the Boy Scouts who went
on hikes this summer have been gath
cred together they would have made
quite q large army. They would have
proved the great interest in the Scout
movement. The hikes they took not
only trained their physical endurance
but gave opportunity for the tests re-
quired for the various scout degrees:
The boys judgment in estimating the
heights of trees by his eye was tried
by the Scout Master. His ability to
estimate distances, to cook, to light
fire without matches, to give frNt
aid to the injured, to swim, to paddle
canoe, and his presence of mind in
helping other boys in need were all
tested.
