graft to their "clients.*" the scandal of
the advanci-i made secretly from the
j public treasury to the royal family and
j an admission of the arbitrary manner
in which th^st: advances have been
liquidated by decree. x
No one,' however, was niore severe in
jliis criticism of the practice of ad
jvancing money to the royal family
(than Franco himself, and' he pledged
Ihlmspif to, make it impossible In the
future for the king to obtain anything
beyond the royal allowance and. to. in
troduce system of public accountability
that would reveal the destination- of
every dollar that left the treasury. He
kept his promise, but he had also to
pay the back debt sof the king, which
amounted to a large sum and -which he
liquidated by degree.
Premier Franco promised also to hold
the elections at an early date if condi
tion* In the country would permit, but
the recent revolutionary tactics of the
opposition ltr«l him within the last
month to take. repressive measures and
to set aside, for the present at least,
all thought of holding the elections.
FRANCO THREATENED
His life has been more than once
threatened, and lately he has been com
pelled to sleep In a different house each'
night and go about protected by'an
armed guard.
In April. IS9S, an attempt was made
on King Carlos' life as he was being
driven through Lisbon, but it met with
complete failure.
On January 10, 1596, an artist made
an attempt on the king's life while
the latter was leaving the palace
in an open carriage for a drive. The
artist threw a heavy stone, which nar
nowly missed the king's head, but hit
the aide de camp riding with him. in
juring him. severely.
On her return from a visit to London
early In December. Queen Amelle took
back a letter to King Carlos from King
Edward in which the British king gave
it as his opinion that the dictatorship
endangered the crown and recommend
ed a return to the constitution.
King Carlos proved an Inefficient and
itdolent ruler rather than a vicious
one. The delights of the table claimed
his attention to Euch a degree that
he became heavy and gross' In appear
ance, "with the result that he was
troubled ' with so many disorders that
serious alarm was felt for' his health.
He went out incognito on., all sorts
of carousing expeditions, and while
drinking one night in a low resort \u25a0was
badly beaten by a subject, who did not
know that he •was pummelling his mon
arch.
BROTHER VICIOUS RAKE
The king was extremely extravagant
in his habits, drawing on the treasury,
as well as on his own funds In, order
that he might be surrounded with lux- i
uries. He was helped In all this by his
brother, the duke of Oporto, who added
vlciousness to extravagance. ll.s prin
cipal amusement .was to drive through
the streets of Lisbon in a carriage
drawn by four mules, keeping up an
Incessant flirtation •with the pretty
women he saw on the streets. Accord
ing to some accounts, he did not hesi
tate to alight and lift into his car
riage any woman who 6truck his fancy.
The extravagant habits of the king
and his brother, combined with the for
mer's neglect of duty, led to financial
disaster among the people, whose
grumblings at last grew Into what
practically amounted to revolt.
BOY INVENTOR FOUND
DEAD AT CROSSROAD

Fr^d Steinkarhp, Who Built
Model of Battleship, Found
by Farm Hand
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. \u25a0
STOCKTON^Feb.,I.— Fred Steinkamp.
known in the west side section aa the
"boy Inventor,** was found dead this
morning at -a. crossroad near the home
of his parents at Tracy. A farm hand
saw the horse and wagon used by the
young man standing in the road with
one ot the heavy wheels smeared with
blood. The body of the youth was <?o
mutilated that at first it was thought
that he had been murdered. Investiga
tion showed that he died from natural
causes and that his body fell on one of
the wheels of the vehicle, frightening
the horse and causing' the animal to
run away. It is believed that the oody
; hung over the side of the wagon, the
spokes of the wheels beating the aead,
, face and shoulders.
Steinkamp. who was about 22 year 3
old, attracted attention several years
ago by constructing a model* of the
battleship Oregon, having j only the
pictures of the vessel to go by. Ho
took the model to San Francisco, where
It was placed on exhibition. Naval of
ficers were much taken with It, and tae
Union iron works people, where the
Oregon was built, declared the model a
wonderful piece of work. They imme
diately realized that the young man
was possessed of .more than ordinary
talent and offered to take him in 'land
and give him every opportunlly to be
come a machinist and engineer of the
highest class. But he preferred the
ranch. .

LONDON. Feb. 1,-fll is gossiped here
that Queen Alexandra's temper is not
of the best and that it is frequently
aggravated by her liege lord. If she
is desirous of rating the king she is
not deterred by the fact that they

first band anecdote of the king and
queen to their repertoire of social
slander.
The king and queen paid a visit re
cently to Cardiff to open a new dock.
Aa the royar I^ equipage drew up before
the entrance of the town hall- the lord
mayor stepped forwards opening the
door of the royal carriage -and offering
his hand to her majesty to help her
to alight. The king. rose. and. in at
tempting to follow his spouse, trod
upon tho train of her heliotrope gown.
Regardless, of_ the presence' of the lord
mayor, the queen turned upon him with
a contemptuous sneer.
"Clumsy, as usual," she grumbled, as
she gathered' her train together.
"D n your dress,", said the king.

operating in these waters. under"; title
of the Puget Sound Pilots*, association,
was given a body: blow today:, before
Magistrate Snyder- .when ' Prosecuting
Attorney; Gnagey moved ? the dismissal
of the pending actions against: Captain

J.Bef ore Captain' Fischer '. appeared \u25a0 for
trial Gnagey investigated the: pilot's
papers and upon learning that he had
a license to pilot vessels' fin; Puget

case. - The case- promised - a fizzle when
Captsin Beecber. secretary of the as
sociation, wh6' swore" to the complaint
against Fischer, left for * Seattle last
night on the steamship .Chippewa.
Captain Bob Hall, a well _ known
Puget sound pilot, arrived in Port
Townsend this morning in response to
a summons issued by his association
to appear as the star witness against
Fischer, but upon learning that several
pilots living in Port, Townsend and
members of the .association had .'left
the' city, he declined to 'attend ,the
hearing.
Captain Fischer is said 'to have-ex
cellent'- grounds on which jj to -sue .for
false arrest and it^ is probable, that
he will institute proceedings against
the ' association and Its . ; members.
Fischer's ' license expressly qualifies
him as a p^lot between . Tacoma and
the sea and it is said . now ; that' the
much criticised-, "pilot" trust"* -will, be.
broken, as there are many masters ou^
of positions on account of differences
between the; Puget sound steamship
owners' association and the 'masters'
and mates' asociation as to who may
act as pilots.
All these masters hold papers identi
cal with those of members of the Puget

cheered loudly. Those who seemed most ;
pleased. by the senator's attack were
Henry H. Rogers. John D. Rockefeller

ard oil company.
Foraker's subject-was one that gave
him '. ample opportunity to assail the
president and defend the corporations.

presidential -nomination, that fact did
not deter him from stating frankly
his ; position regarding what he thought
was due regard for corporate bodies.

ering. . .' . , .
\ He was cheered' loudly and the eyes
