Madrid, January 2l.-Martial law
has been proclaimed throughout Port
ugal. according to reports reaching
here today.
Rumors were being circulated here
of possible intervention by Spain.
Warships have been sent to Oporto,
the stronghold of the Monarchists.
The conspiracy to restore the mon

situation" said an official statement
issued last night THE monarchial
movement, led by Capt. Paiva Cou-

restore him to the throne

This simple statement was made
by Don Manuel Braganza in an in

himself to reporters all afternoon.
The man who again stands in the
shadow of the shaky throne of an

grant an interview.
Il have not received any informa-

(Com mercial Club
Commissioner Brownlow
Tells Commercial Club
That City Must Figure on
Half a Million Popula-
ton; J. A. Whitfield Is
Elected President.

Washington must think, plan
and act in terms of half a million
people, in the future" declared
Commissioner Louis Brownlow, at
the annual meeting of the Com
mercial Club last night.
Speaking on What Lies Ahead
OF Washington" the commissioner
recited in lucid deta:! his ooserva-
tions and suggestions for the bet
terment of the city's future. AT
all times he was logical in the
support OF his arguments and his
address gave a thorough insight
into local affairs.
Assuming that the great ma
jority of Washingtonians are
looking for a decrease in local
population, he declared that the
population was not going to di-
minish either rapidly or slowly to
any extent. In the two months
following the signing OF the
armisticc but 3,949 employees of
the Federal government have left
Washington Notwithstanding the
fact that on the floor of the Sen
ate it has been announced that
more than 10000 have left
More Peace Workers Needed.
1T is true" said Mr.. Brownlow.
that a number of offices have been
disbanded. but those working in these
offices have been absorbed by other
departments OF the government and
there are other war offices. like the
War Risk Insurance. that are going
to require more workers in peace than
in wartimes. The Internal Revenue
Bureau will also of necessity be in
larged owing to the fact that the
huge bill of the war must be paid
and payment made through that bu-
reau.'
Another activity requiring the use
of considerable force in Washing
ton, will be the removal to this city
of the records of more than 5000 local
draft boards in all parts of the coun-
try. These records must be Codified
and kept right here in Washington,
declared the commissioner.
Washington. said Mr.. Brownlow, is
also destined TO become the financial
center of the country, and big busi-
ness, industry and financial institu-
tions must maintain headquarters
here because of the workings of the
Federal Reserve in peace times.

pointed out. there We're 10000 Fed

(Schools)
Mass Meeting Resolution to
Congress Ayers District
Public Schools Face Ut
ter Decentralization Un-
less Pay of Teachers Is
Raised at Once.

The public school system of the
District OF Columbia is threatened
with complete Decentralization, cit
lzens of the District declared at
a mass meeting in the Powell
School last night. 1t was asserted
that unless immediate action is
taken by Congress to increase the
salaries of the teachers at least
100 per cent, many of the schools
must be closed.
The meeting, held under the
auspices Of the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association, the Mt.
Pleasant Citizens Association and
the Johnson-Powell Community
Center, was called by parents and
citizens of Washington to ask
Congress to pass at this session
adequate salary legislation for
teachers. The speakers were DR..
Harvey Wiley, f. H. Daniel and
Henry ?. Blair.
Schools Deteriersting RapidIy.
Resolutions were passed and for
warded to members of the House
and Senate Committees on Appro-
priations stating that. during the
last two years, the schools Of the
city had been rapidly deteriorating
and that the only remedy would be
TO grant the teachers a just COM
pensation.-
During the last year the resoIu-
tion points out, conditions in the
schools have grown steadily worse,
as shown by the fact that only nine
students entered the Wilson Norma
School this year. as against ninety
last year, and that more than 147
, teachers had left the schools in the
first four-and-a-half months of this
year, as against IFS for the whole
school year OF l9l7-1eIs.
Substitute pay is so small, il was
declared. that absences from the
schoolroom by the teachers are filled
either by unskilled and unframed
workers or by eighth grade students.
The substitute rate is lower in the
District than in any other city in
the country.
Efforts to Fill Seats Fail.
The school authorities have done ev-
erything in their power to keep the
schools open, the resolution states.
| but without avail. Married women,
who had left the schools. have been
recalled. Normal students have been
graduated before completing their
course and an extensive advertising
campaign has been carried on outside
the city to bring teachers here.

commended to all nations legislation
protecting labor from exploitation
and oppression, and providing against
unhealthful trades, as well as other
legislation on broad humanitarian
principles.
This plan has no relation to social
ism. but will doubtless secure the
backing of the Socialists. From Mr..
Wilson's Buffalo speech, it is deduced
that the President is heartily in favor
of action along the lines pointed out
above. 1t is certain that Premier
Lloyd George will stand behind him.
The result of this work concerning
labor, now under consideration. prob
ably will be the first important news
coming from the Peace Conference.
VIII Continue Blockade.
Complete agreement has ben reached
at the Peace Conference regarding
continuation of the allied blockade of
Germany.
This does not conflict with the
American contention that the embargo
should be lifted to the extent of ship
ment of limited amount of foodstuffs
INTO Germany to end the present
shortage of fats and also to allay the
spread of terrorism.
But the blockade remains the one
single powerful weapon in the hands
OF the allies so far as making Ger
many come to terms when 1t is time to
sign the peace treaty. Upon this point
there is definite unanimity of pur-
pose.

Optimism over Washington S
bright future as the world capital
in peace, as we'll as war times,
fairly bubbled among 700 repre-
sentative Washingtonians who
gathered in the New Willard last
night to make the first large 1919
meeting Of the Washington Board
Of Trade memorable.
Elaborate plans for civic better
mcnt were laid and reports by the
various chairmen OF the board
proved that earnest efforts were
being made to eradicate several
minor evils which have, in the
past, bcsmirched the Districts
record.
For Better Paid Servants.
Prominent among these were recon-
mendations by Odell :. Smith. chair
man of the public order committee,
who urged for the Police and Fire De-
partment more officers and men,
more pay for these men and better
facilities for them to work with.
Roy c. Clafiin, chairman, again re-
minded the board of the lamentable
condition in our public schools and
urged that immediate steps be taken
to get for all teachers and janitors a
more equitable wage.
William Nick. Clayton, chairman of
the public library committee, recon-
mended that the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia approve and that
Congress grant the increased appro-
priations asked for the library tTus-
tees.

shall not be limited in their estimates

MAY Restore Game EishInu.

The fish and game commission Of
the assembly is having drafted a bill
designed to restore game fishing in
Lake Winnebago and tributary waters.
The measure viii empower the con-
servation commission to take out all
the rough fish that can he found and
To dispose of whatever game fish are
taken in the nets, to pay the cost of
the work
The solution of the problem came
after more than two hours of argu-
ments before the committee over the
Simpson bill TO permit gill-net fishing.
Mr.. Simpson said his bin would result
in rough fish being taken out. but 9TH
ers just as strongly contended the com
mercial fishermen would throw the
rough fish back to serve as an excuse
for further net fishing and would profit
by the sale of game fish. The matter
was put up to the conservation COM
mission.
