GIVE OFFICERS CLUE TO
WHISKEY STILL OPERATION
MOUNT VERNON, Wn„ May 8.—In

LISBON IS REPORTED
QUIET AFTER UPRISING
LONDON, May 8.—Latest advices
received in official quarters from
Lisbon today indicated that all is
not quiet in the Portuguese capital
and that order has been restored
after Saturday's short-lived revolt.
The attempted coup was started
Saturday and there was violent
fighting throughout the night, the
movement only being quelled yester
day when the rebellious troops gave
up their arms and were confined in
barracks.
Lisbon dispatches have given no
estimate of the number of casualties
but they are said to have been com
paratively high for such a brief pe
riod of activity.
If you don't get your paper before
six o’clock please phone us and one
will be sent by special messenger.

MANY LANDMARKS SURVIVE AT OLD
LEXINGTON TELL HOW MINUTEMEN
STRUCK FIRST BLOW FOR FREEDOM
MANY OF THE BUILDINGS THAT FIGURED IN THE STIR
RING SCENES INCIDENTAL TO THE “BIRTH OF
LIBERTY” AT LEXINGTON, MASS., ARE STILL
STANDING. 150 YEARS AFTER WAR.
BUCKMAN TAVERN WAS RENDEZVOUS FOR MINUTEMEN
LEXINGTON, Mass., May 8.—It is true that American Freedom, no
less than American Independence, came into its own on Lexington Battle
Green, a century and a half ago, April 19, 1775. All that this great nation
is today has been made possible by the supreme sacrifice of the Lexing
ton Minutemen, when they resisted an attack upon them by British reg
ulars.
On this, the 150th anniversary, Lexington, “Birthplace of American
Liberty,” has prepared for a fitting observance to be followed the week
of June 15 by the pageant drama, “LEXINGTON” when on an amphithea
ter stage already constructed, all the scenes that led up to the battle of
Lexington, to be followed on June 17, by he battle of Bunker Hill, will be
depicted in the open, the amphitheater being a replica of the actual field
fo battle on April 19, 1775. In the cast there will be 1,500 men, women
and children.
It is not intended to portray the Battle of Bunker Hill, but to con
fine the pageant drama to distinctly Lexington activities of 1775, leading
up to tne revolutionary vv ar, iui
which the first overt at took place on
Lexington Common, the long roll
beaten on the drum, by William Di
amond, calling for the assembling
of the Minutemen to block the path
of the King’s soldiers, on their way
to destroy or confiscate the military
stores of the patriots, at Concord,
six miles beyond Lexington.
When the Fuse Was Lighted.
Long had Colonists contended
! against British oppression, assert
ing their rights as Englishmen —
not as vassal subjects. It was in
1761 that James Otis resigned his
office as the King’s advocate and
made his speech before Governor
Hutchinson, in the council chamber
of the Town House in defense of
the rights of Bostonians, and con
demning the injustices of the Writs
of Assistance, a speech which set
the Colonists ablaze.
The Stamp Act was gassed and
repealed. Following the fatal
policy, to which there was much
opposition in England, that colon
ies were primarily a source of
revenue to the mother country,
Parliament, in 1767, passed the
Townshend Tax Bill on tea, glass,
etc., so unjust, especially in its pro
visions as to the use of its
revenue, as to be unbearable. Bos
ton resisted so firmly that the King
sent two regiments to assist in the
enforcement of its laws. A clash
was inevitable — the Boston mas
sacre occurred March 5, 1770, fol
lowed by the Governor’s complete
submission to popular demand led
by Samuel Adams, and the troops
were withdrawn from Boston.
There followed, in 1773, the ship
ment of the tea to the Colonies, a
situation met in Boston by earnest
appeal for advice addressed to all
the towns in Massachusetts, and
upon finding the inhabitants unani
mously against permitting the tea
to land, the Boston Tea Party on
December 16, 1773, was but a natural
sequence.
Ill-advised retaliatory acts were
passed by Parliament—the closing
of the Port of Boston until the
people could be starved into sub
mission—the annulling of the
Charter of the Massachusetts Bay
Coloypy—town meetings, the heri
tage and glory of New England,
were to be held only upon permis
sion of the King’s representative—
the quartering of Royal troops in
the towns—all done to re-assert and
strengthened the authority of the
King and break the rebellious spirit
of the ardent patriots of Massa
chussetts.
Great waves of sympathy swept
through the other colonies — if a
town hesitated to give aid to Bos
ton and Massachussetts it was at
once scorned as a Tory town.
Against this rising storm General
Gage, who had assumed command
over the Colony in June, 1774, ap
pealed for 20,000 troops to make
an entire conquest of New England.
Words of John Adams “breathed
into this Nation the breath of
life.” It was the first act of revo
lution.
Individual Action Fruitless.
TusLce for the Colonists could
not be had by the individual ef
forts of separate settlements — the
situation was desperate and the fate
of Boston might befall any of the
other Colonies. Virginia issued her
call for the first assembly of rep
resentatives from the thirteen Col
onies and the Continental Congress
of Philadelphia, September 5, 1774,
met “not as a law making body, but
as a collection of emissaries to
counsel among themselves concern
ing their common relations with
England,” to which Massachusetts
sent Samuel Adams and four others.
The Provincial Congress as
sembled at Salem one months later
and organized with John Hancock
as chairman. It was assumed the

government, of Massachusetts, ex
cept in Boston, where the British
troops were stationed, took measures
to organize militia companies and
to prepare for resistence by force
if necessary. Executive power was
placed in the hands of the Com
mittee of Safety, prominent mem
bers of which wore Dr. Joseph
Warren and John Hancock.
Close watch was kept over the
movements of the British soldiers.
Large quantities of military stores
were collected at Concord and
Salem, and Gage’s attempt to take
the supplies at Salem, February 26.
1775, resulted in ridiculous failure.
In March it was reported that he
intended to capture or destroy the
stores at Concord, which from then
on were carefully guarded. In
early April a report spread that
Gage had received orders to arrest
John Hancock and Samuel Adams
and send them over to England to
be tried for treason.
The Provincial Congress, which
had been in session at Concord, ad
journed April 15, and the Commit
tee of Safety, also in session at
Concord, adjourned April 17, to meet
at Menthotomy, (now Arlington),
April 18. Both Hancock and Adams
who had been attending these meet
ing then became the guests of the
