Though Coroner Shrady and the po
, lice repeated today their declarations
that the young woman's death was en
tirely an accident, the belief that it
may not have been such was still held
by the outside world. There were sev
.eral discrepancies In the stories told by
officials, physicians and intimates of
- the bouse. ' .
i It was said Friday, after the dlscov
ry of the body, that the cause of the
accident was an old rubber tuba con
necting a gas reading lamp wit the
wan bracket,' Because-of the age and
poor quality of this it had alinned from
the pipe at the foot of the lamp when
Mrs. Burden turned the cock and pushed
the lamp away from her bed, it was
reasoned. .
"It was not an old tube; it was, I
, thought, brand new," admitted Coroner
, Sbradv when questioned today. "It was
, a rubber tube covered with green in-
. ruiauun ana wouna at tne end bv wire.
This wire was loose when I found it
and the tube was Just dangling beyond
the mouth of the pipe on the lamp. My
theory is that when Mrs. Burden pushed
the lamp away this became somewhat
. detached and the gas pressure further
detached it."
- Arthur Bcott Burden, a brother of
the dead society leader's husband, de
clared the suicide theory altogether
absurd.

Nearly all pflfllc squares are guarded.
The entire garrison is under arms. In
other cities of the country similar prep
arations have been made to meet outbreaks.
For' several days there have been ru
mors that the revolutionary outbreaks
were planned to organise at the time of
the assassination of King Carlos. Mili
tary preparations were made and the
time for the uprising fixed. Government
spies reported In the last few days that
plans were laid to start uprisings in
several parts of the kingdom at the

exposod but enough was discovered to
cause the belief that tomorrow Is the
Oay for the outbreak.
At Betupil serious outbreaks have al

are in extremely dangerous mood. A
gunboat was sent to Betupil today.'
oporto is anotner danger point, where
demonstrations against the government
are to be expected at any time.
In case of a real conflict, how strong
the government would prove Is problem
atical. The outcome is extremely un
certain. The loyalty of the army is gravely
doubted. The BolJlcrs have not been
overlooked by the revolutionary leaders
and the ranks aro honeycombed, with
dissatisfaction. A decisive victory for
the revolutionaries would probably be
followed by wholesale desertions to the
popular cause.
The danger Is well appreciated by the
boy king's advisers and this is the cause
of the military precautions to crush

at Washington, In a speech tonight at
the chamber of commerce dinner, warm
ly denied persistent stories "by leading
organs of western Europe" that Ger
many's financial system Is not based
upon solid foundations. At the corner

tomorrow the baron will take occasion
to dwell UDOn the close bond of friend
ship existing between the Fatherland
and the United States. Baron von

The -German economic system, de
clared the baron, ranks among the
most efficient in the world, agriculture
ally, as well as industrially.
"Until the sixtieth year of the nine
teenth century, end In some Instances
even later, Germany's economical con
dition was regarded as poor," admitted
the ambassador. oday the world
knows better. The economic condition

day to support 62.000,000 people on the
same territory, mat is, zi.oou.ouo mom

nual Increase of almost a million souls
without being deranged cannot be said
to be 'poor'; on the contrary. It must be
affluent, and furthermore. Its prosper
ity must be erected upon bo sound a
basis that It amply assures Increasing
productiveness. Recent statistics es
timate the nationnl economic wealth of
Germany at $59,000,000,000 and the na
tional Income at more than $7,000,000,
000. Annually nearly $1,000,000,000 are
capitalized. From 1897 to 190B Ger
man securities valued at $6,250.000,000
$1,666,000,000 of these for banking and
Industrial housesand $6,200,000,000 of
foreign securities, together with $11,
600,000,000, were admitted to the Ger
man exchanges that is, on an average
at least $1,200,000,000 dollars annually,
which amply allows for fluctuations in
value an annual average of $2X0,000,

estimated at about $9,600,000,000, of

battleships and a voluntary increase,
of four submarines followed so speed

an investigation, threatens to turn the
lower branch of congress upside down.
It reached the you re a liar stage to
day. Representative LlHey was put In

tnat he charged tne Electric Jioat com
pnny of New Jersey with having
fixed both the Kepublican ana JJem-
ocratlc congressional committee. Lll
iey got it from Democratic Chairman
Griggs and Republican Chairman Sher
man and passed it on to several news
paper men with all kinds of vitupera

made any charges, that he made any
demand against the campaign chair
man and in their presence accused a
correspondent with having "malicious
ly lied." Griggs accepted the explana
tion in bad spirit.
"It Is suiticient to say," Griggs ex
claimed, ''that either the person who
wrote the charge or said it is a 'liar.' "

Lace dressing has been considered a
necessarily unhealthful occupation on
account of the intense heat required to
be maintained in the room. In some
cases the temperature exceeds 100 de
grees Fahrenheit and much moisture
is evaporated from the wet fabric. The
evidence "brought forth at a recent 'in

it to oe an exceaingiy iiealthiul pur

House Engages in Hot De

Proposed Measure.
(United Press Leiud Wire.)
Washington, Feb. 22. An unsuccess
ful attempt was made in the house to
day by Representative Heflin of Ala
bama and the southern contingent to
provide Jim crow street cars in the
District of Columbia. The effort engen
dered a debate of such sharpness that
it sent the crowded galleries into dlsor
cfcsr and brought from the speaker a
caution that orators must be careful in
the language they used.
Heflln's amendment to a street rail
way bill brought from Foster of Ver
mont a protest against "attempting to
array one race against another on
Washington's birthday."
Heflin s retort that Washington
would "heartily support the amendment
if he were in congress today, brought
the first demonstration.
Madden of Illinois denounced the
amendment as "un-American" and
Campbell of Kansas cried, "Shame on
Heflin and his party in the south!"
His declaration that his children went
to school and church, with negroes,
brought a chorus of yells from the
Democratic side.
Heflin wanted to know if he would
marry his daughter to a negro.
"no. no. no: snouted camDbeii as he
leaped across the center aisle and con
fronted his tormenting interrogators,
his face pale with emotion.
xnere is a airrerence between social
and political equality, and there are
white men mat l would not cermlt mv
daughter to marry," Campbell shouted.
Simms of Pennsylvania Dleaded that
some other day under general debate
"the negro question" be threshed out.
Olcott of New York charted the
south with not furnishing equal rail
road racuities ror negroes and wnttes.
Heflln's retort that this was untrue
brought admonition of caution from the
chair.
Ansberry (Democrat) of Ohio had
spoken for the amendment but failed
to vote. A chorus of Republicans yell
ing his name embarrassed the Oh loan.
The amendment was defeated, 104 to
