SEIZE NORTHERN PROVINCES
Object Of Activity of Portuguese
Monarchsts

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 in
formation received by the government
authorities here. This step is assumed
to be preparatory to an effort to re,
store the king to the Portuguese
throne.
At San Gregorio, on the frontier be
tween Portugal and Spain, the Gus
toms officers were attacked by a body
of monarchists who succeeded in cap
turing some arms and then returned tC
La Ganiza, where they have estab
lished their Headquarters.
Similar movements are also report
ed from other points in the northern
provinces and the cabinet has ordered
the war ministry 20 dispatch rein
forcements of troops to the disturbed
districts.

Managing Director OF White Star Line
Indignantly Denies Any Attempt to
Reinsure Vessel Between Time She
Went Down and the Hour the News
Was Made Public.
Washington, May 1.-The senate in
vestigation into the wreck of the Ii
tanic has entered its final stages. j.
Bruce Ismay, managing director of the
International Mercantile Marine, own
ers of the lost liner, was recalled to
the witness stand and put through
last searching examination by Senator
Smith.
Mr.. Ismay Indignantly denied that
he or any representative of his COM
pany had attempted to reinsure the
Titanic between the time she went
down and the hour the real news of
the disaster became public. He as
serted that wireless message which
he directed to Vice President Frank.
lin from the Carpathia Monday morn
ing, April Is, did not reach that Off
clal until Wednesday.
Mr. Ismay said the Titanic was not
a speed boat, but had been construct
ed under orders given him to make
her the biggest and best equipped yes
sci afoat. No cost limit had been set.
A charge was made to the commit
tee that the White Star line officials
had positive news of the disaster be-
tween the hours of and 8 on the
morning of the accident, but sup
pressed the news until twelve hours
later. The information was given by
r. J. Dunn, New York business man,
who said he in turn got his informa-
tion in New York from the son of a
Western Union employe. He refused
to give his informant's name and
promptly was given over to the SER
geant-at-arms. He spent the remain
der of the morning using the long dis
tant telephone to New York in an ef-
fort to be absolved from his pledge of
secrecy.
Captain Knew Boat Was Doomed.
Before the hearing was resumed
Senator Burton announced he had ex-
amined Fourth Officer Boxhall and
learned from him that ]. w. Andrews,
builder of the Titanic, who went down
with the ship, told Captain Smith after
the collision that the boat would sink
within an hour.
IL had a long talk with Officer Box.
hail." said Senator Burton, ''and asked
him to recall If he could what he heard
Captain Smith say on the deck of the
ship after the collision. Boxhall re
called several trivial things that had
been said on the bridge and about the
deck before the order was given to
get out the lifeboats and then recol
lected what the captain had said about
the condition of the ship few min
utes after the collision.
"He said Captain Smith had told
him about twenty minutes after the
collision that the Titanic was doomed
and that j. w. Andrews, representing
the builders, had given him the infor
nation. Andrews had gone over the
ship Immediately after the crash and
discovered that her hull had beer
ripped open. He then told the cap
tain the ship could not he saved"
This testimony Is corroborative o.

| man, who said the boatswain~ woke
him up with the exclamation. "Ge
out of here. You only have half al
hour to live. This comes from An
drews. Keep 1t to yourself"
Valdez daily prospector., 1912-08-02

Port Valdez was an unsafe harbor
 for his vessel to navigate. He knew it to be a petty lie. When the report IS made in. favor of Resurrection bay over Cordova and Katalla, the Committee on 'Terr tories of the house will know that all the truth has not been told because Port Valdez had not been visited and reported upon.
 The Maryland was not ordered to examine Port Valdez and the route leading to the coal fields. There's a reason. The present administration does not wish a coaling station established at this point. Taft will not be president after March 4th next. There is nope. = '':. .f, .y -

There are advantages in being a mere dependency of the United States instead of an integral part of it. The Canal Zone is to have a parcels post. It is probable that the United States government would not consent to an exchange of parcels between the states and the Zone, but there seems noth- ing to prevent parcels post ex- change within the Zone. Strange that the express companies. over looked this, but their counsel may have been too busy figuring out plausible reason for existence in the states t0 get the necessary Legislation through for !hrnttling the Zone.

Since Wickersham crammed Teddy down the throats of his fol- lowers, there are many of them who have brought themselves to believe the hero of San Juan will be elected when he himself ad- mits that he will carry but six states, and all of them taken from the Republican column.

Humorous Comment
Seven Daughters Enough.

The Rev. John W. Cavanaugh.
president of Notre Dame college
tells OF priest who was giving a
lecture on the evil of great wealth.
In the audience was a man the priest
knew. The man was the father Of
seven girls, and the lecturer pointed
to this man as an example.
Think said the priest, 'of be.
ing the proud father OF seven
daughters. Think who ia hanninr~
the man with million dollars or
the man who is the father OF seven
daughters.
Il will ask you, Mr.. Sheldon, who
do you think is the happier . said
the priest, pointing to the subject Of
his argument.
The man arose and said: Father,
l think that man with seven
daughters is the happier. A man
with a million dollars worries for
more. A man with seven daughters
never does. Kansas City Star.
