Lisbon, Jan. 31.-More than one thousand persons were arrested to- day and placed on board the war ships which are now stationed in the Tagus river, their removal to the ships being decided upon as the only way to preclude attempts to rescue them. Several bombs were thrown today, one of them wrecking g a street car.

 The murder of the governor of Moita last night has served to in- tensify the excitement and to en- bolden the strikers. The murder was one of the most brutal in the history of labor strikes. A mob ot several hundred stormed the govern ment house, the leaders entered dragged the governor from his bed chamber and mutilated him with hatchets.
 The troops have the situation fairly we'll in hand tonight, so far as open rioting in the principal streets of the city is concerned. but the strikers are creating havoc in the outlying districts and in the suburbs. The proclamation of mar tial law is being strictly enforced by General Carzalhaes, who has been appointed military governor of the province.

TEDDY WON'T REFUSE
 THE NOMINATION
Lawrence AbOtt, One of Outlook's Editors, Says Former President
 Will Run If Called Upon.

Trenton, N. J., Jan. 31.-That Col. Theodore Roosevelt would no more decline to take the nomination for president u an he would decline to enlist if needed in time of war is the opinion of Lawrence F. Abbott, one of the editors of the Outlook, contain- ed in letter received here today by Edward c. Stokes, former governor of New Jersy The letter received by MT. Stokes follows a visit he made to the Outlook office last week, when he had an interview with Colonel Roose- welt and suggested that he write let ter or have one written definlng h.s position relative to the presidency. The letter from MT. Abbott given out by MT. Stokes today is prefaced With a statement that MT. Abbott had no authority to speak for Colonel Roose- welt, but during the past two years he had exceptional opportunity to learn Colonel Roosevelt's views and the workings of his mind. Mr. Abbott fur ther says:
 q am convinced that he does not desire the nomination and will enter no contest for it. But I am equally convinced that if his countrymen have still further need of his services as their chief executive he will no more decline their call than he would dcline to enlist if needed in time Of war;"

TAFT DEF NOS
 TARIFF RECORD
Ends Tour of Ohio With Determined Appeal at Akron, MT. Dicks
 Town.

Akron, Ohio, Jan. 31.-A further defense of his Tariff record, with plea for the continuance before the Akron Chamber of Commerce, of the Tariff Board, brought President Taft's three-day tour of his native state to an end tonight. He reached this city shortly after o'clock but did not leave his car until 1t was time to present himself at-Ne ban quet.
 This is the home of former SenaA tor Dick, of Ohio It was through the ex-Senator that the President was persuaded to include Akron in his trip. A serious party defection and an insurgent movement that has threatened to keep the Democrats in control of the district, caused the former Senator to press his invita- ton with greater vigor.
 En route to Akron from Columbus the President spoke to crowds at Westerville, Gambler, Orrville He told them that he was simply passing through the state to see what the situation was. He added at Gambler that he was pleased with what he had found.
 While at Columbus and Cleveland. the President talked politics with a vigor and vengeance almost unknown to himself. At Akron he confined himself to the most part, to an aca- demic discussion of the Tariff is- sue and to a defense of his policy of vetoing resolutions of any Tariff schedules not reported upon by the Tariff Board. Of the Payne-Aldrich bill he said, as he has said repeated ly, that it was an imperfect piece of legislation but that 1t should be re- vised with prudence and with a de- sire to do justice to every instance involved.
