ROYALISTS IN LINE

LISBON, Portugal, August (P)-
Portuguese Royalist party, after an 18-
hour session of the executive council
has decided to support the new National
Union organization recently proposed by
the present dictatorship.
A long manifesto to members of the
party, signed by the personal repre-
sentative of ex-King Manuel, Col. Aires
Ornelas, said that Monarchists were
free to join the organization without
breaking their oath of allegiance to the
dethroned monarch.
It adds that Royalists cannot with
hold support from government that
has restored internal peace, reorganized
the national finances. cleansed the pub
lie services and stimulated trade.
I'VE consider it the patriotic duty of
every good Royalist to rally around the
the banner of the new organization, for
which the assent of the supreme chief
has already been secured"

"The forces of the city, county, State

creased industrial activity and the
complex organization of present-day
society were all contributing factors to
increased criminal activity.

 The pyramids were six miles apart and connected with a broad river highway running straight across the mesa.
 Nearby was the ruin Of an cdiijcc which might have been an ancient .Azetic temple or ono of the first jungle churches constructed by the conquerors. It's state and the fact that the jungle had almost reclaimed this, as well as the pyramids and highway. kept tho men from discov- cring whether it was Aztec or Span iard.
 Found by Accident
 The discovcrers of tho ruins be- leye they arc the first white men ever to see the ruins, inasmuch as none Of the Indians resident there had any knowledge of the pyramids. The mon stumbled upon tho ruins by pure accident as jungle growth hid them even within I yard of the base.
 The men were chOpping their way through tho jungle when suddenly they came to low stone wall. Just ahead of this they saw what ap- peared to be q small hill rising. but examination disclosed that it was T pyramid of seven terraces, about 200 feet along the base. and so feet high. On top were several sacrificial stones and a shaft which had been filled with debris.
 Leading from the pyramid the men found q high way paved with cut stone which led for six miles across the mesa. and at tho other end of this road they discovered an other pyramid almost identical,
 In the open spaces of the mesa. which is completely uninhabited, they discovered hundreds of burial mounds, some Of which were 20 feet high. There were also innumer- able wells, faced with rock and still serviceable, going to | great depth to rock.

 The number Of burial mounds and wells on tho open surface of tho mesa kept the men from landing their airpIan" on top of the table land and they had 10 set up camp six hours distant hy horseback

Usher Of the Evening Post.
Each publisher is in charge OF
property worth at least a million
dollars. Most of the papers repre-
sent investments of many times
that figure. Under the pressure Of
executive duties it would be un-
usual if the publishers were familiar
with the private affairs of their
police reporters or minor editors.
Colonel Mccormick did not know
of Lirgle's dishonesty until the
scandal of Lingles gang connec-
tons came to light after his
murder. The Lingle scandal itself
was in the rumor stage several days
before the evidence of his betrayal
was strong enough to warrant ex-
poSure in the Tribune.
Meanwhile the intensely competi-
tive newspaper atmosphere in Chi
cago was filed with rumors that
other reporters besides Lingle were
using their positions for illicit
gain.
Publishers began private investi-
cations, hired detectives to check up
on certain staff men whose names
we're mentioned in the rumors, and
questioned their editors about men
working ION the outside" In some
Offices personal finances of reporters
we're looked into by executive order.
