Martin F. Keough testified that at

made Howell put the lids OF HIS cart
down and ordered him to collect the
garbage at Nos. 1006 and 1904 West
street. When Dr. Cleaver called his
attention to the man having the cart
lids up, Mr.. Keough said he repri-
manded the driver, who had left them
up while getting garbage out OF the
two houses. Mr.. Keough said Howell
had told him that he forgot to put the
lids down after getting the garbage
from the dwelling No. 1904, and be-
fore going in the next alley. He said
the lid was not up three minutes

Mr. Keough said he would not de-
fend any garbage cart driver who will

he was driving on the east side o

Mr.. Keough also told the court tina
Howell practically was a new man
as the regular driver on the distric
was of duty.
When Howell was asked II he hat
been warned by DR.. Cleaver, he deniel
It.
"I don't thing that DR.. Cleave
would testify TO an untruth," said tn

COURTS SUSTAIN CONTRACTS.

Competition is the natural way OF
regulating prices. Regulation by
commission Is unnatural, artificial.

ought to go IN fixing prlces7 Compe-
tition being the natural way Is bound
to find the proper price level and hnd
IL at once, whilst regulation may
never find It. II regulation should
prove too radical It would be CEN
sured and repealed: II too mild Il
would do nobody any good. How Is a
utilities commission to decide how
far to go7 And after them the courts? ?
Surely they would never sustain the
breaking Of contracts. which is what
the utilities commission would have 70
do, for franchise is contract be-
tween the city and the company. and
II the franchise permits charging ten
cents per kilowatt hour. no court
would break that contract. There is

MANUEL PLANNING TO
RETURN TO THE THRONE
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
LONDON, Oct. 5.--The fate Of the
Portuguese republic is today in the
balance. This is the day scheduled
for the long-heralded counter-revolu-
tion and the Royalist colony here is
confidently predicting that the end Of
the republic is at hand.
The Marquis de la vradio, ex-Kine
Manuel's secretary, issued state
ment early today that Royalist forces
had occupied the two northern pro-
vinces of Portugal and proclaimed the
monarchy. The marquis claimed that
he had positive information to this
effect
"The Republican troops are desert
ing by the Wholesale" he said. "and
the counter-revolution is rapidly
spreading all over the country. The
governments statement that II has
been suppressed Is utterly false"
While the strictest censorship IL
being exercised by the present Portu'
guese government, enough informa-
ton has trickled over the Spanish
frontier partially to confirm the mar
quis statement. One report states
that Captain Couceiro. oommandine
the Royalist forces, after defeating
the Republican troops IN a pitched
battle entered Oporto I'm triumph.
King Manuel is still at Richmond
but ia believed to be planning BE-
cret departure II the first news OF
Royalist successes is confirmed.

RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN TRADE.

A utilities commission would have
no moral right to order the lowering
OF electric light rates any more than
going into any shop and ordering a
reduction in the prices of merchan-
disc. How could they determine
whether TO order a 8. 10, is, 20, or 80
per cent. reduction? II might order
a reduction Of some sort, but that
would be the end of It. They would

TAX QUESTION
BOBS UP AGAIN

board. There Is no misunderstanding
as TO the provisions said one OF its
members today.
Another matter which occupied
considerable time was that Of levying
a capitation tax on non-property
owners AT present the real estate
owner bears the brunt OF the cost OF
maintaining the city government, pay
ing both a tax on his property and IN
addition a capitation tax OF 500.
II was pointed out that a capitation
tax also should be imposed on the
nonproperty owner but there was
some discussion relative 10 amount,
whether it should be on 500 or 5000.
Il also was explained that the
amount must be alike to all, the court
having some years ago declared such
a tax unconstitutional because differ
ent sums we're levied, according to the
earning capacity Of the man.
How to find the number of male
non-property owners In the city is
what stumped those who took part IN
the conference. To get at this in
formation It was the opinion of those
present that a house to house canvass
would have to be made. This would
entail considerable expense and much
time. but Il was pointed out that this
seems to be the only feasible plan to
adopt.
The new law assessment law sets
forth that the Board of Assessment
can make an assessment on real estate
! and person as well. "On persons,
the board interprets that It can levy a
capitation tax on non-property own
y ers. No conclusion was reached
however on just what will be done
! This subject will be discussed again
