TWO WOMEN HELD
MOST DANGEROUS'0 OF
ROYA[|ST WORKERS
Portugal Holds One, But
Releases English Writer
After Her. Arrest.

LISBON Aug. 5-Out Of dozens of
royalists in jail here today in connec-
ton with another attempt Friday to
reseat Manuel on the Portuguese
throne, 1t was stated at the ministry
Of the interior that the government
thinks two women were the most
dangerous plotters. Only the over
talkativeness of one Of them, Senorita
Ludovina Ruaz. II Is said, prevented
an outbreak which might have proved
a success.
Senorita Ruaz did not depend wholly
on an attack Captain Conceira. was to
have made from the north. Simultane-
ously with II her followers were to
have seized the ministers and members
Of parliament. and. with the republican
government disorganized, Conceira
would have had a good chance to win.
The senorita. indiscreetly told one Of
her men admirers, a republican, of the
plan, however, and the admirer warned
the government.
1t Is understood the arrest of Miss
Alice Dram, the London Mails corre-
spondent. though it preceded that Of
Senorita Ruaz, was based on documents
seized at the senorita's house.
Miss Oroma probably will be freed to
avoid offending England, but the gov
ernment is sure she was the senorita' q
most efficient lieutenant.

pendent of Those Recon-
mended BY Committee.

Congressman Stanley of Kentucky,
chairman OF the special committee

ton of the so-called Steel trust. today
introduced In the House a bill designed
to bring about the dissolution of the
United states Steel Corporation and
similar holding" companies engaged
In the manufacture or steel and IRON
The Stanley bill is apart from the
three measures recommended by the
Stanley steel committee, and the former
represents the individual views of Mr..
Stanley on the question of breaking up
the alleged monopoly in the steel in
dustry. In brief, the Stanley bill pro-
vides:
That no corporation engaged In the
production OF steel and iron, or the
products thereof, shall enter interstate
commerce unless its capital stock shall
be fully paid OF payable In cash, or In
property or services at not less than the
fair value thereof.

Of any other association or corporation,
or its own stock
That such corporation or association
shall not be permitted to own or control
larger ore deposits than may be neces-
sary for its own needs for a reasonable
length of time.
The Stanley bill also seeks to limit
the amount of the stock that an officer.
director. or owner OF one corporation
may have in competing corporation.
This limit Is placed at 20 per cent.
Congressman Stanley offers his bill in
lieu of the scheme suggested by the
minority members of the Steel commit

duct Of all large industrial corpora

Il have drawn a bill prohibiting cor
porations engaged in interstate COM
merce from holding stock In other con-
Germs or having that stock held by
other concerns. or buying and selling
their own stock, prohibiting overcapi-
talization. excessive ore holdings, opera
