These agitators are still trying to
create disorder and panic by sensa-

which keep the public in state of

Days and even hours have been set
for the outbreak of the revolution

ALL PORTUGAL
IN CORY PANIC
Assassination OF Six Statesmen
In October Starts National
Hysteria

LISBON, Jan. 6.-People of this
city have been in condition of panic
and, in fact the whole country has
been suffering from a kind of ma
tional hysteria at intervals since
the assassination of six Portuguese
statesmen in October.
For more than ten days, the most
alarming and contradictory reports
have been circulated to the effect that
two revolutionary movements were
organizing, each anxious to forestall
the other. Threats were distributed
that the new outbreak would be Of a
most sanguine character.
Meetings were held by all the rev.
dictionary groups and the speeches of
their leaders, filled with threats and
calling the people to arms, were
printed in the daily papers.
The agitators based their threats
on the ground that the government in
power had not carried out the pro-
gram which was the outcome of the
IGNOIutlOfl.
Many people were SO frightened by
these warnings of new revolution
that they fled from Lisbon and are in
hiding.
This movement and also the wreck
ing of the train on the southwest
railway line with heavy loss of life
is attributed here to the intensified
propaganda of international agita-
tors. The seeds they sow find fertile
ground owing to the constant politi-
cal disturbances. In addition, the as
sassination of the government Off
Gals in October has diminished pub
lie authority and prestige thus af
fording opportunity for Bolshevist
agitators to mix with revolutionaries,

 MT. Dickson said that in varous cities. the plan of adding to the audi torium had been tried and that it had failed. St. Paul is the latest example of such experiment and they have been obliged to divide the build ing into two separate auditoriums.

 Tn nearly every city, the audi torium is a financial burden to the city" said MT. Dickson although with things worked out the right way it should not be. With our present fund we can build. an auditorium, seating only 5000 people"
 MT. Dickson said that he did not think that the majority of the com mission liked the site that the old commission had selected for the build ing of an auditorium. He said that his own views were that the audi torium should be built within walk ing distance of the center of the city.
 He pointed out several advantages that those boosting Smith park could show. The principal one, being the spacious automobile parking space, saying that great majority of those attending would be in automobiles.

BIRMINGHAM FACES SHORTAGE OF CARS, SURVEY REVEALS
Situation May Be Relieved, However, by Cooperation on the Part of Shippers
 With Carriers

Birmingham industry will face serious car shortage shortly unless shippers cooperate effectively with carriers in remedying the situation which has already grown acute.
 H. ]. Arnett representative of the car service division of the American Railway association, Washington, who is in the district going over the situation in an effort to prevent such shortage declares remedy lies solely in operation by shippers with the railroads.
 It is not generally known among shippers that a very high percentage of cars owned by southeastern lines when loaded to eastern points in cludlng New England, find their way back to home territory empty which might be applied to necessities of shippers In territory where the car Is owned and built to nfeet the re- quirements in its home locality.
 With the increase of acreage de- voted to the melon industry 1t Is esti- mated rolling stock in excess of per cent of the present equipment now in service will be needed. This has no bearing on equipment regu- larly employed in the Georgia peach district which every year uses all most every available refrigerator car. but with the increased melon production which calls for speedy transportation facilities unless ship pers lend their efforts to divert the shortage industry will suffer.
 Car service rules which govern the movement and interchange of freight cars between railroads serve also the self interest of shippers since compliances with them enables the roads to furnish the type of cars required as well as to insure more adequate supply.
 This system is adopted by the car riers because the primary purpose of such rules is to keep cars on the lines of the owning railroad. Each railroad customarlly purchases equipment to meet needs of its own shippers which are thereby fur nished with the particular class and type of equipment which best suits their individual needs. Cars can best be maintained for service in shops of owning carriers and cars and cars at home are kept in better physical condition than when scattered throughout the country.
 Shippers. 1t Is pointed out will best conserve their own interests by adhering to the underlying princi- ples governing car service between roads.
