Lisbon, April 4 In anticipation of

other biff cities of FortguaL The rural
districts are left to take care of them

The greatest fear that has seised the
government la that in the event that

The leaders of the old aristocratic
Portuguese parties and the Republicans

There is no lonaer any doubt that
Franco Is directing his own campaign

FORCED TO TESTIFY
(Continued from Page One.)
i Action was taken by the federated
'trades council at their regular meeting
' last night that will ultimately mean
Aha complete dissolution of that body
and th reorganisation of the council
n new lines, according to R. A. Harris.
. A resolution was adopted asking the
'affiliated unions to withdraw all their
delegates to the council and elect new
i' tones. The move was a peculiar one,
l. and is the culmination of personal dlf
1 ferences that have existed in the coun
cil for.ome time past. .
a The delegates that now make up the
present council will remain In office
iotU the latter part of the month, and
unless the affiliated trades elect new
ones by that time there will no longer
e a federated 'trades council In Port
' land. No cause la given to the unions
whv they should withdraw their dele
- - Kates. It is confidently expected that
Jrnany of the unions will refuse to with
draw their men and elect new ones, and
, that man will send back the same del-
cgates. a prominent labor leader says:
The council had been growing
stronger, and some good men have re
centiy been sent to the council as dele
gates. But there are a few who. It is
alleged, have been making trouble and
Who have, a sufficiently large following

, "It Is hoped that a reorganization can
.be effected that will place the council
: in a place where it can again command
the respect and the confidence of the
u- labor msn. If enough of the unions will
end new delegates as the council re
, tluete there will be a nurlpiis around

not to lose his temper. Dunning told
the committee that he had no opinion
on the controversy and held to the be
lief that Mayor Lane should have no
tified the council If he had .found any
Infraction ot the franchise of the tel
ephone company.
Annand, In his testimony, admitted
that he bad been receiving free trans-
Crtatlon from the Portland Railway,
lght 4k Power company, but said that
be had not been receiving it as a coun
cilman. Us said that he paid for his
light and telephone service. Dunning
also admitted that he received free
transportation, but did not receive any
other favors from the company. This
information was brought out by the
committee in trying to find out how
the councllmen would vote on the revo
cation or the rranchlse of the Portland
Hydraulic Elevator company, which has
passed out of existence and the fran
chise passed over to the railway com
pany. Poof pay, Poor Work.
Baiter was the next witness examined
and contended , that he did not believe
the council to be responsible for infrac
tions of the franchise of the telephone
company but held that it was up to the
mayor to make an examination of all
franchises and report to the council
that they might act Baker said that
the councllmen drawing monthly
salary of 126 could not be expected to
be Intimately acquainted with aH the
details of the various franchises "when
the city paye the mayor 15.000 for thla
very purpose."
Baker also contended that th tele
phone company had lived up to the
terms of its franchise and had Installed
the systems required by its franchise.
Vaughn took the other stand and
said that It had not. Baker Insisted
thai it had although the matter was
not . gone into. Baker said that he was
not before the committee in the Inter
est of. me telephone company and fur-
mermore was willing to aia tne mayor
in enforcing the terms of the franchise.
This caused Vaughn to ask:
"Then the mayor Is aullty of aross
negligence in not doing that which the
franchise expressly say a the council
shall dor'
Baker simply teplled that the council
is not in a posiut
terms of the franchise.

Driscoll then went on the stand, and
an air of expectancy developed because
of the strained relations existing be
tween Vaughn and Driscoll. Nothing
developed, . however, and Driscoll ended
by generally denying knowledge of
everything relating to tlio franchise and
tne cnarter. Kellaner read section 158
of the city charter, which states that It
is the duty of every officer of the city
to inform the mayor of any infraction
of the city's laws. He then asked" Dris
coll if he understood It. Driscoll replied
that he did not know, because he had
never read the section Just read by
Kellaher. '
Kellaher thfen stated that Driscoll had
been reported In the newspapers as
having stated that he had certain in
formation In regard to the purchase of
2,900 worth of cable purchased for
the fire department, and asked Driscoll
to tell the committee what he knew.
Driscoll refused to answer, and his ex
amination ended.
This ended the hearing and the com
mittee adjourned until some time next
week. Just what the outcome of the
Investigation will be no one knows. The
committee has refused to show its hand

questioning the councllmen. but did
i show beyond a doubt that If the coun

I it was not brouglit out this morning,
i The question that had the most direct
t bearing on the fight between the mayor
and the majority party of the council
1 was the last one asked of Driscoll rela
tive to the purchase of the cabis. Dris
coll refused to answer this question
and the fight still goes on.
Samples of several varieties of cable
were on exhibit and each councilman
was asked whether he thought the one
used by the telephone company was
adequate- for the glty's purposes. All
pleaded Ignorance To any knowledge of
cables save Annand, who said that the
cable used by the telephone company
was not fit for city use.

Washington. April 4. Senator Claop
today told the committee on Indian af
fairs which Is Investigating charges
that Indians on the reservations ot
Montana are being mistreated by gov
ernment officials, that It la not uncom
mon for the red men to be deprived
of their rights.
He says the law gives the Indians
certain rights, but they never get them
for the reason that they have to deal
through agents. Mrs. Helen Pierce
Grey, who brought many of the charges
against the agents, continued her testi
mony today. She cited a case of two
families of Big Timber, Montana, who
were allotted land In 1882, but were
unable to get patents.
Senator Clapp declared he knew of
20 similar cases and. that he had no
doubt that there were many more.
