POLITICAL SITUATION
IN PORTUGAL SERIOUS
Rumor Current That One or
Other Faction Will Try to
Overturn Government.

LISBON, Portugal. January 4.-The po-
litical situation In Portugal daily becomes
worse and more threatening. Rumors
are current every hour that one side or
the other intends to overturn the govern
ment. and force either the proclamation
of a dictatorship or the appointment of
provisional cabinet.
The secret society of the carbinarios is
increasing in strength. 1t now numbers
10000 members, virtually all of whom are
socialists.
Are Fully Armed.
AS the adherents of the two factions
formed by the democrats on one side and
the conservative groups on the other, are
fully armed with automatic rifles, pistols
and stores of bombs, there is imminent
danger of a collision.
The democrats. led by DR. Alfonso Cos
Ia, refuse to join a coalition government.
As they number about half of the depu-
ties and senators. the conservatives do
not possess a working majority in either
house.
The Portuguese constitution does not
permit of dissolution of parliament,
and the president of the republic is seek
ing to allay the intense personal rivalries
and bring about a solution of the diff
cultes.

Probable Outcome of Peace
Conference Deadlock.
ADVANTAGE TO TURKEY
Would Get More of Thrace Than Al
lies Would Give.

LONDON, January 4.-The Balkan
peace conference, which was to have met
again this afternoon, was postponed until
Monday, at the request of the Turks, who
are waiting final instructions from the OF
toman government at Constantinople.
There is no evidence today of a weak
ening of the deadlock in the conference
over the question of the future of the
fortress of Adrianople. The probable out
come of the expected interruption i'm the
negotiations will be mediation by the
European powers. Under the pressure of
Europe the Turkish government, it is
thought, would be able to meet the pub
lie sentiment in Turkey by the giving up
of the fortress of Adrianople with the
Plea that it had been forced to yield by
the powers. Should this be the final solu-
ton of the problem Turkey will get a
larger slice of the. province of Thrace

the subcommittee of the House District
committee.
Mr.. Carusi attacked Mr.. Best's pub
lished statements concerning the two COM
panies in vigorous fashion. denied his
conclusions and attempted to show that
Mr. Best had used in some instances the
opinions of the New York insurance de-
partment. which was but following out
the suggestion made last night by Mr..
Carusi that the New York department
works hand in glove with an INSURANCE
trust"
The cross-examination for the most part
was couched in technical terms and con-
siderable insurance data were dug up Tor
the benefit of the record.
Mr. Best admitted many Of Mr. Carusi 3
statements as to the good character OF
the business of the Commercial. and
when asked the direct question replied
that he knew nothing discreditable about
r. +. Tuttle's career as general in
surance agent i'm Syracuse.
Pinned down to a fiat statement he
said his main criticism was against the
character of the literature of the First
National, and the general character OF
the underwriting contracts.

Governor Agrees to Act.

These complain of treatment received
from the officials, designate the actions of
the constables as unwarranted and claim
that in making arrests they discriminate
in favor of their friends. Gov. Colds
borough said yesterday that he was OF
the opinion the states attorney of Prince
Georges county was the proper person to
make an investigation, but that as far
as possible he would see whether any i'm
proper arrests or fines are being made OF
imposed at Hyattsville.
The time allowed for securing auto IL
censes will end tonight. Automobile Com
missioner Roe stated yesterday afternoon
that all who do not have 1913 licenses
tomorrow and operate their automobiles
will be liable to arrest.
Even though the protests against their
actions will make the auto spoilers,
who each Sunday stand with a little RED
flag and a stop watch In Hyattsvilie,
more careful tomorrow, yet the fact that
some persons might have been delayed In
securing licenses and run their machines

MAY Ask to Be Excused.

Even that course may be opposed by the
oil magnate. and he will probably ask to
be excused from furnishing any inforna-
ton to the committee. But Samuel I'm
termyer. counsel for the committee. is
anxious to get into the record testimony
regarding certain transactions in Amalga-
mated Copper stock in 1906 and 1907. Tes-
timony already before the committee con-
meets Mr.. Rockefeller with these transac-
tions and the committee may insist that
his testimony be given.
The committee will resume its public
hearings Monday and will examine during
the next week several representatives of
banking firms from Chicago, Boston and
other cities. They have already been SUBJ
ooenaed. Chairman Pujo expects to end
the hearings by January Is.
Committee Will Wait.
The Pujo committee met informally to-
day and considered the question of Mr..
Rockefeller's pleading i'll health as an
excuse for not answering the subpoena
he has now accepted. No action was
taken, and Chairman Pujo said that the
matter would be allowed to rest until
January 13, when Mr.. Rockefeller's sub
poena provides for an appearance. If the
oil magnate is not present at that time
the committee will endeavor to find out
why 1t may be necessary for the COM
mittee to send physician or committee

Witness Best Explains.

Mr. Best explained at the opening OF
his testimony today what he meant when
he said he wanted to wait to see which
way the cat would jump He told Mr..
Carusl that he meant he wanted to wait
for the information which he had re-
quested Of the insurance companies At
request he read a letter he had written
to Samuel L. Hahn, bank examiner at
Baltimore, August 80. 1912 The letter
raised question of veracity, but the
principal feature was a reiteration Of Mr..
Bests criticism Of the literature of the
insurance company.
Mr. Best said the facts We're presented
only in half light, and that they should
be presented more fully.
Mr. Best said his brother was candi-
date for an agency of the Commercial

was very anxious TO take agency for
