PORTUGAL SUFFERS
COAL SHORTAGE
Lack of Prisoners Also Causes Looting
of Food Stores and Re-Appear-
ance of Bread Lines.

Lisbon, Sept l6.--Portugal is suf.
| fering from a shortage of coal and pro-
visions which have resulted in footing
of food stores in some parts of the
country and in the temperance of the
formerly familiar long lines of women
standing outside of bakeries waiting
for bread The situation has been com
plicated by an announcement of the
minister of the interior published in
the Seculo that the government has
become aware of a bolsheyist plot to
provoke disturbances all over Portu
gal, SO as to lead up to general move
ment later. The minister made it
known that the government had taken
precautions to Illustrate those plans.
There have been severe conflicts at
Santarem, Setubal and in other parts
of the country, where stores have been
looted and emptied of their contents.
The military authorities assumed con.
troll in Santarem and order was re-
stored but subsequently fish riots oc-
Cured, the Santarem fish market was
attacked by a mob, which seized the
fish and divided il among themselves.
Dry cod formerly was the chief and
favorite food of the people, but is now
so expensive that only the well.to-do
can afford d. One shopkeeper APP
peased the mob by distributing his
supply of Goldfish and thus was al
lowed to retain his other wares.
The seriousness of the shortage of
food and fuel has been emphasized by
statement of Premier Granjo made
in Parliament in which he said that
there was a lack not only Of coal and
provisions but of all other articles in
dispensable for living Since there was
only 10000 tons of sugar to supply the
country, the government was going to
prohibit its sale in restaurants and
pastry shops so that the hospitals OF
Portugal might not run short.
Butter, lard. oil and even vege
tables have disappeared from the mar
ket since the government prices were
fixed for those articles" said the
premier "The bread question is even
more desperate than the others. The
wheat in this country will barely suf-
fee to supply bread for the next five
days. Wheat contracts are being closed !

tons of it. There is no coal in the city |
OF Lisbon, where the poor are tearing |
up their floors to cook their food and |
the foreign coal is sold at such an exor-
bitant price that il does not even al.

In view of this crisis, the premier ap.

Count
THOMPSON MEN
WON IN CHICAGO
While Elsewhere Lowden
Candidates We're the
Leaders

Chicago, Sept ia close race be
tween the Lowden and Thompson can
didates to-day made necessary com
plete count of the vote cast in yester
days primary to determine the result
Supporters of Mayor William Hale
Thompson swept Chicago, winning al
county and city nominations, but the
adherents of Gov. Frank o. Lowder
carried the rest of the state by large
majority.
Early reports from Chicago showed
an average plurality of better than &C
to the precinct for the Thompson men
but this slumped when returns from
nearly half of the 2,2l0 Chicago polling
places had been counted. Down state
the Lowden plurality averaged only IA
to the precinct at first, but gradually
increased until it averaged 90 when
half of the 1924 voting outside Chi.
cago had reported.
On the Democratic ticket j. Hamilton
Lewis, former senator, won handily
over Barrett OHara for the guberna-
torial nomination, but the race for the
Senate candidacy was close between
Robert f. Burke and Peter Waller.
Only about half of the registered
vote in Chicago was cast, about the
SAME proportion of men staying away
from the polls as women.
Returns from 2,979 precincts, includ
ing l,456 outside of Chicago gave Frank
/. Smith, Thompson candidate for
United States senator, l44, 040 and Will
liam B. Mckinley, Lowden candidate,
1877 500. In the ] ,l23 Chicago precincts
recorded Smith had s7,7s2 and his OPP
ponent 44,ls6 Slightly fewer than
fourth Of Smiths Chicago votes were
cast by women, while more than
third Of McKinley's ballots were
marked by women
Returns from 1855 precincts, includ.
ing 1896 outside Chicago for governor
gave Len Small, Thompson candidate
for governor, l56,l72, and Lieut.. Gov.
Ogiesby, Lowden candidate, l45, 1896. In
the l,l63 Chicago precincts recorded,
Small had 5000 votes and 0glesby
40,9s6.
Mayor Thompson issued statements
that the city would give his candidates
from $4,000 TO 100000 plurality, while
Lieut. Gov Oglesby asserted that he
would carry the state outside the me-
tropolis by 100000.
Among the congressional contests
was that of Joseph G. Cannon of Dan
vile in the 10th district. He was in the
rear on early returns, but finally
forged to the front for victory.
Mayor Thompson won possible con
troll of the election machinery in Cook
county by nominating his candidate
for county judge.
In the race for congressman at large
i. Mason, incumbent, sup
ported by Thompson, had large lead.

ITALIANS IN DISAGREEMENT.
Over Proposal to Celebrate 6ooth An
niversary of Death of Dante.

Rome, Sept. l6.-Preparations are
being made to celebrate in 1921 the
600th anniversary of the death OF
Dante Alighieri in Rome, Florence and
Ravenna, but a disagreement already
has developed as to the expense of the
proposed celebration.
Sem Benelli, poet, dramatist and
deputy, has introduced in the Chamber
of Deputies, bill appropriating q
100000 lire to cover the cost of lee
lures, concentrations, Examinations
and other forms of tribute.
This proposed expenditure, however,
is opposed by Benedetto Croce, the
newly appointed minister of instruc-
ton, himself distinguished poet,
critic and author, who declared that
in these hard and serious times he dis
approved on the principles of this form
of honoring the memory of Italy's SUI
premely great writer.
Instead, Signor Croce invited his
fellow countrymen to celebrate the
600th centenary of Dante's death by
rereading the works of the great poet.
Some approved of this suggestion
while others were indignant.
The poems of Dante, eventually, are
more talked about than studied and it
is to be feared that few will do more
than take down and handle with rev.
erence the much thumbed copies of the
poet who gave the first great impulse
to modern European literature.
Dante was born in Florence, in May,
1865, and died Sept. IA. 1921, at Ra-
