SCHOOLMA'MS BLUSH WHILE
KIDS TELL COURT WrIERE SEAT
OF PUNISHMENT OUGHT TO BE
f Thirteen pretty schoolma'ams In as
nany bright new spring hats llvenea
lacistrate Reid's court yesterday aft-
irnoon while 16-year-old Arthur Math-
f ws and three or four other boys of his
go told the court where the "right

greed that It was the old-fashioned
pot. The schoolma'ams who had come
o testify, sat all afternoon without be
nar riven & chance to ko on' the stand
iut will have, another opportunity next
iaturuay morning. '
AU the pedagogues were attracted by
he trial of Principal B. E. Hughson
f the Portsmouth school on a charge
f assaulting and battering the Math
ws boy. who is, the son of A. E. Math
ws. a. timber lan dealer. Young

rrofessor Hughson with 13 teachers
irom itis school and a dozen or more
f f fittipalff tf oilier uehmjltf vuuup4ed the
ither half of the room. The two sides
jere Intensely partisan and there was a
forotant nodding and shaking of heads
from one sldo or the other during the
testimony of the various witnesses.
I The Mathews boy was the first one
ailed and proved rather too much for
.ttorney Dan Malarkey to handle. Mr.
,lalarkoy tried to find out what Ar
hur was studying Just after being
1 hipped.
"You were reading about King Ca
ute, weren't you?" asked Mr. Malar-
ley, pronouncing tr.e name of the Dan
bh king as though It were spelled can
oot, wun tne accent on tne can.

Mr. Mainrkey niusnect and the Matn

fritted his teeth so that the veins stood
jut on his forehead and threw me
jjtralnst the desk, hurting my knee.

"What do you call the right placer
asked Mr. Malarkey.
The witness blushed and the 13
schoolma'ams turned away their faces.
"I guess It's the old-fashioned place,
Isn't ltT" asked the lawyer and the boy
agreed that It was.
Dr. Cable, who attended young Math
ews, testified that the Injuries received
by the boy were serious. Mrs. Mathews
told of how the affair happened and
Bam Carlander and Walter Perry, other
boys In the Portsmouth school who had
been whipped with Mr. Hughson's pad
dle, told how the principal wielded It.
The defense thought lthad found evi
dence of bribery when Perry ' said that
ho had received- a dollar from Mr.
Mathews a few days ago. He, however,
declared It was paid nlm for his dog.
Pretty Teachers Angry.
Professor Hughson, who Is accused
of cruelty to the Mathews boy, Is a
man about 40 years of age and of me
dium build. He had his notes all made
out yesterday In the form of a funny
little, "crib," consisting of a dozen
small eheets of paper which he held In
the palm of his hand and on which he
had written in a fine hand all the
points he wanted to bring out.- He
dlita't hv su !h.n!.e. to use It, Jiowever,
because before the defense could open,
court was adjeurned until next Satur
day morning.
The school teachers who had spent
their Saturday afternoon In the stuffy
little courtroom for nothing were fu
rious but couldn't get out of It and
agreed to show up again next week,
when the hearing will be concluded.

TROUBLE FOR
Manuel of Portugal Issues
"Decree for General Elec
tion Which May Result in
Serious .Upheavals
Struggle in Parliament.
(United Prws Leased Wire.)
Lisbon, Feb. 29. The action of King
Manue) today in issuing a decree fix
ing March 6 as the date for the next
general election and convoking the regu
lar cortes on April 2 probably fore
casts the future of the young monarch,
so quickly elevated to the throne as a
result of the assassination of his father,
Carlos, and the crown prince.
Politicians believe the gravest results
hang upon . the outcome of the elec
tions. . , -d
Whichever way the election goes. If
Fromlses only trouble for the boy king,
f a strong majority la returned for
the government, there is danger that
the revolutionists, regarding the out
come as a blow to all their hopes of
gaining power, will resort' to violence.
Already their position Is so strong,
through ths underground propaganda
that has been carried on, that the gov
ernment hesitates to raise a direct Issue
with them. On the other hand, If the
republicans and anti-government parly
capture the cortes, it will make con
stant trouble for the government The
struggle for control will' only be trans
ferred to the national parliament Ko
forms which the government cftnnot
tolerate are sure to be proposed.
Manuel, It Is believed, however, may be
able to establish himself firmly upon
the throne. He has promised a more
liberal regime. If a favorable cortes
IS returned and vlofcnt outbreaks are
avoided Immediately following the elec
tion, it la believed, he can convince the
people he Is in earnest In his promises.
As a starter toward winning popu
larity, the boy king today abolished
the decrees of former Premier Franco
concerning the reorganisation of the
house of peers and giving the new
chamber of dteputles constituent powers.
Franco's decrees augmenting the civil
districts and liquidating advances to the
royal house have also been annulled

Telegraphers Do Not Believe
Commission Will Postpone
Operationrof New Law.
(United Ptms Leased Wtrs.)
Washington, Feb. 29. The strong ap
peal of two-score railroads that the In
terstate commerce commission extend
the time for putting Into effect the
nlne-heurs-a-day service law for tele-
grapliers was concluded this afternoon,
when President H. B. Perham of the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers, A and
Attorney K. W. Moore of the Southern
Kauway, were neard.
In replying to the chairman Mr. Per
ham ooclared that no good and suffi
cient reason had been advanced by the
railroads for an extension of the time,
unless where only one train a day
passed certain stations; that he had
shown fully that the telegra&hers were
plentiful, and that If the railroads wore
compelled to close offices It would not
endanger the traveling .public nor de
lay traffic by lengthening the blocks.
The telegraphers are sanguine that
the commission will make the law ef
fective March i.

Idle Men at Butte and Ana
conda Bejoice at Thought
of Going to Work.
(Hearst News by Longest Leased Wire.)
Butte, Mont, Feb. 29. Scenes unpar
alleled In the history of Butte and Ana
conda today followed the announcement
by Managing Director John D. Ryan
that orders had fceen Issued for the re
sumption nxt Monday at full capacity
of all the mines and smelters of the
Amalgamated Copper company together
with the varied saw mills, coal mines
and quarries throughout the northwest,
employing an aggregate of 20,000.
In less than 15 minutes after Mr.
Ryan's announcement half a hundred
big mine siren whistles were screeching
in a terrific din. In Anaconda where
the Washoe smelters, the largest In the
world, are the sole support of the city
of 15.000, the people excitedly formed
processions and singing loudly paraded
the streets. The flrebells rang and
big men overcome with emotion wiped
their eyes.
With few exceptions the whole city
has practically been an army of unem
ployed waiting for the mines to start,
and the enthusiasm of the happy people
knew no bounds. Saloons in Butte,
which have had no more than a handful
of patrons for the past five months,
tonight are Jammed te the deers with
singing threngs of miners, who crowded
the streets hurrahing, shaking hands
with everybody they encountered.
Director Ryan, in a statement this '
afternoon, said that the schedule of
wages prevailing before the suspension
will remain unchanged; that the metal
market Is strengthening and that the
future Is very bright.
N. Y. BANKS MAY RACE
HORSES OF DEBTOR
Must Take Over B. R. Thomas' Big
Stable or Lose $24,000 Lease
Money.
New York. Feb. 19 Twenty-five
banks, trust companies and' private
banking firms that hold claims for $2,
700,000 against E. R. Thomas, face the
possibility of having to operate a big
stock farm and go Into the horse racing
I business.
! Thomas Is bound by a lease, whloh
1 has two years yet to run, under which
; he' pays $1,000 a month to Otdeon &
' Daly for a farm at Homedale, New
: Jersey. They refuse to break this lease
and their attitude has Interfered with
the plans of a committee representing
the banking creditors of .Thomas for a
settlement, which would obviate the ne
j cesslty for putting Thomas Into bank
ruptcy.
It is a delicate position that the bank
ers find themselves In. They have the
choice of making a present of 124,000
to Gideon & Daly and abandoning the
stock farm, or 1 running It, forcing
Thomas tutor bankruptcy.
On the stock farm are now 68 horses,
which Thomas values at. $250,000.
