An Inauguration
Dr. Manuel Teixeira Gomes; recently elected President of the Portuguese Republic in succession to Dr. Antonio Jose de Almeida, whose term of office had expired (TIME, Aug. 20), arrived in Lisbon and was inaugurated President of Portugal.
On the eve of his arrival, Conservative opposition celebrated by throwing bombs in Lisbon and Oporto. A general strike was called on the Southern and Southeastern railways; communications were suspended. Then the Republican Army appeared on the scene and restored order.
