Tension Between Portugal and the
Vatican Reaches a Climax Pre

Iiellgious Orders Particular At
tention to be Given to tlie Foreign
Orders and tlie Members to bo Ex
pelled These , Came In From
France and the Philippines -News
Came as a .Shock to the People and
Disorders Result.
(By Cable to The Times)
Lisbon, Aug, 30- The long con
tinued tension between Portugal and
the Vatican came to a climax today
when Premier Souza, following the
plan adopted by Premier Canalejas
in Spain, ordered a rigorous inquiry
into the religious orders.
Particular attention is to be given
according to t;ie premier's orders, to
orders of foreign priests and friars
which are not established according
to the laws of the country. The
members of these orders are to be
expelled.
It is said that Portugal, like Spain,
was. the refuge of thousands of
monks and nuns when the religious
organizations were driven from
France and when the United States
acquired the Philippines.
The premier took this move after
a long conference with king Manuel
and the government leaders,
The edict came as a shock to Lis
bon, no such drastic step -having been
anticipated.
When the news spread, crowds
gathered. Extra troops were detail
ed to police duty or ordered in read
iness for action. In several sections
of the city, especially those of the
working classes, disorders became
imminent and there were many minor
fights.
In one quarter a mob paraded,
shouting "down with Souza,"
The first clash between Portugal
and Rome came when the govern
ment censured the action of the arch
bishop of Braga in suppressing a
Franciscan newspaper without sub
mitting his order to the government
for approval.
On July 12 a decree was issued
nullifying the archbishops act, and a
bitter struggle within the country
began to call radical forces aligning
with the government against tno
clericals.
The Vatican raised difficulties
about filling the place of the late
Senor Martins D'Antas, ambassador
to the Vatican, and on August 20
Portugal protested against the "ob
jectionable attitude" of Mgr. Tonti,
tho papal nuncio at Lisbon.
The government also took over the
registry of births, deaths and mar

Troops Called Out to Prevent
Lynching
Martial Law Declared at Huntington
and Three Companies of Troops
Ordered Out Clash With Mob of
l.OOO.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Huntington, W. Va., Aug. 30
Martial law was today declared here
and three companies of troops ord
ered out to protect Thomas Wayn-
eard and Charles Clayburn, colored,
from a mob determined to lynch
them.
In a clash between the troops and
thomob of 4,000 a score of persons
were injured, some seriously, and EiO
persons were arrested. The militia
men charged into the heart of the
crowdwhich fought back with clubs
and missiles before being cowed for
the time being.
The calling out of the troops fol
lowed a desperate attempt on the
part of the local authorities to restore
order. Sheriff Harshmarger, sur
rounded by a force of regular and
special deputies, mounted the steps
of the jail in an attempt to reason
with the mob. He had spoken but a
moment, appealing to them to dis
perse, when the leaders rushed for
ward and dragged him from his posi
tion, carrying him away.
AU night long the throng. re
mained about the jail, and tho fire
of a dozen" bonfires made the spectacle
more sinister.
Occasionally parties led sorties
against the jail, but tor the' most part
is was a waiting game till the sky
began to lighten. .
The arrival of the troops, broughl
here on special trains, brought mat
ters to a climax.
With bayonets fixed, the soldiers
tramped through the town to the jail,
while jeering crowds lined the streets,
at times showering them with mis
siles. The main force was concentrated
about the priso, but a strong police
force was detailed to cover the rest
of the town. All loiters in the outly
ing districts were arrested.
This niorniiig after the clash in
which the troops charged, an appeal
for reinforcements was taken under
consideration.
Wayne Is charged with the mur
der of Mrs. John Ailiff, near Qitln
nlmont, and Clayburn is alleged to
have murdered her husband near
here last Saturday.
Mrs. Ailiff was killed while she and
her husband, who had been married
but a few hours, were going to their
home. The bridegroom was beaten
unconscious and the bride's body was
recovered from a brook by the road,
where the attack occurred, near
Quinnimont.
A mob gathered before the door of
the jail in which Wayne and Clay
burn were confined and battered
down the doors last night.
A force of police and deputy sher
iffs which had been on guard charged
the crowd and finally drove it back
from the Immediate vicinity of the
jail. Sheriff Harshbarger tried to
calm the mob, urging it to let justice
take its course and pledging his word
that the negroes would meet wjth the
extreme penalty for their crime.
For a while it seemed as though
the sheriff's efforts would be suc
cessful, but fresh recruits kept join
ing the ranks of the moa until short
ly before daylight its frenzy again
broke bounds and another charge
was made on the jail, driving the po
lice and deputies back into it.
The sheriff then made an appeal
for troops and two companies of
State militia were hurried to the
scene. They charged the mob and
drove it from the jail after wound
ing several men with their bayonets
and arresting 57.
Men from the outlying sections
kept pouring into the town during
the forenoon and the spirit of the
mob grew more desperate as the day
advanced. Shortly before noon word
was passed to the troops to be ready
to repulse any attack on the jail and
fears grew that there would be more
bloodshed before night.
