TRY TO PUT king
MANUEL BACK?
PORTUGUESE MoNARcHIsTs ARE
PREPARING FOR ANOTHER
OUTBREAK.

Lisbon. Portugal May There are
marked indications that the Portu-
guese monarchists intend to make an
other attempt to seize the northern
provinces of Portugal, according to
information received by the govern
ment authorities here. This step is
assumed to be preparatory to an ef-
fort to restore the king to the Portu-
guese throne.
At San Gregorio, on the frontier be-
tween Portugal and Spain. the cus-
toms officers were attacked by body
Of monarchists who succeeded in cap-
turing some arms and then returned
to la GaniEa. where they have es-
tablished their headquarters.
Similar movements are also re-
ported from other points in the north
ern provinces, and the cabinet has
ordered the war ministry to dispatch
reinforcements Of troops to the dis
turbed districts.

Boston, May 1. - Massachusetts,
emerged today from her first presi-
dental preferential primary election to
find the republican voters had express
ed preference for the denomination
of Taft, but Notwithstanding had given
Roosevelt half OF the thirty-six dele
gates to the national convention.
The democratic voters of the state
expressed a preference for speaker
Clark, although the majority of the
delegates to Baltimore will be pledged
to Governor Foss.
Returns from 1,077 out of 1880 elec-
ton precincts give:
Republican Presidential Preference
LaFollette. 1,756; Roosevelt, 71.2O3;
Taft, 74,80S.
Delegates at Large-Baxter (heading
the Roosevelt group), 74,121; Crane,
(heading the Taft group), 65,S76.
Democratic Preferential Preference
Clark, 19,903; Wilson, 9,206.
Delegates at Large-Coughlin (pledg-
ed to Foss), 1705O.
Just how Massachusetts could send
an evenly divided delegation to Chica-
SOJ "llAS OH the preference vote IdIL
has plurality of $500 over Roosevelt
Is partly explained by the wording Of
the state presidential preferential pri-
mary law enacted two months ago.
By that law every voter to have his
vote recorded was compelled to mark
each delegate at large for his party,
there being no circle for voting by
groups.
The law enabled hundreds of voters
to mark the eight names in delegation
headed by c. S. Baxter and styled "for
Roosevelt" and then express a prefer
ence for Taft in another part of the
ballot.
Aonther incident which some say
may have had bearing on the election
of the Roosevelt delegation at large
with Taft as preferential choice was
the sandwiching in of the name Of
former State Senator Frank Seibertich
pledged for Taft between the Roose-
welt and Taft groups. Seibertich
claimed today he was ill-treated by the
Taft managers and therefore ran in
dependently.
Reports from many precincts show
hundreds of ballots thrown out because
the voters invalidated their ballot by
voting for nine instead of eight names

Washington. D. c., May 1.-For the
want of binoculars the Titanic was
lost. So testified before. the senate
investigating committee Frederick
Fleet, one of the men in the crows
nest when the Titanic struck the ice
berg which sent her to the bottom.
Fleet declared that had he the binocu-
lars for which he had asked in vain
hs probably would have see the ice
berg in time to have averted the COL
lision. This is the one fact which
stands out most prominently of all
in the senate investigation.
1t was Fleet and his companion in
the crows nest, Leigh, who gave the
only warning of the impending CAL
amity. They sighted the dark bulk Of
the iceberg close on their bows Just a
few seconds before the collision came
Fleet sounded three bells and then
telephoned to the bridge, where he
got prompt response, and instantly
the bow Of the boat shifted to port
The warning given a few seconds
| before probably would have allowed
time for the Titanic to have turned
aside beyond the range of the ice
| berg. But the impending danger was
not seen in time. For the lack of a
pair OF binoculars, worth not more
than $50, 1900 lives and millions of
property were lost.

beginning with Seibertich and goina
through the entire regular Taft column
OF eight names. The space between
the name OF Seibertich and the Taft
group was slight.
Every one Of the eighteen Taft dele.
gates pledged for Taft while all the
eighteen Roosevelt delegates for
Roosevelt leaders declared TODAY the
Taft preference would have no effect
upon the eighteen delegates chosen fol
Roosevelt and that the expression OF
the voters for Taft would be disregard.

Early Report.
Boston, Mass. May 1.-Returns
from 1.O76 Of 1,OS0 precincts in the
state on the presidential preference
show:
LaFollette 1,75S; Roosevelt II .2os:
Taft 74,SOS. This gives Taft 3.605
over Roosevelt.
For delegates at large:
Baxter (for Roosevelt) 74,l21;
Crane (for Taft 65,S76.
Practically complete returns from
fourteen congressional districts show
the state delegation to Chicago will
stand eighteen for Roosevelt and
eighteen for Taft.
The democrat vote is: Clark 80
972; Wilson 1859.
1t is expected the Roosevelt dele
gates, who appeared on the ballot as
"for Roosevelt" will obey such in
structions and disregard Tafts prefer
entail majority. In Both the republi-
can and democratic campaiRns. the
candidate who won the preference
contest failed to gain the DELEGATES
at large, owing to an unforeseen turn
in the primary law.
From the reports from the first
town shortly after noon yesterday
until early today the preferential
race between Taft and Roosevelt was
neck and neck affair. Roosevelt
ran better early in the evening but
near midnight the president gained.
On the other. the contest between
Baxter and Crane was close for only
few hours when the former drew
away, until with 1,076 of 1880 pre-
cincts missing today, the former led
by more than 5000 votes. The small
vote for LaFollette was one of the
features Of the primary and many
towns reported without a vote for
him.

A Compromise

Chicago, Ill.,. May 1.---Another at
tempt was made today by Jack John
son, the champion pugilist, to obtain
an amicable settlement on the
charge that he smuggled $4,000

The necklace was seized by federal
officers some time ago and Johnson
directed to pay the cash value and a
penalty Of $4,000 to the government.
The pugilist today placed $4,000 in
the sub treasury and asked the dis
trict attorney to accept that sum to
compromise. The offer was reported
