SAVED BY EATING CROW Golovln Apologizes for Insult to Army and Gags Protesting Had. icals Army Bill Is Passed Against Socialist Opposition. ST. PETERSBURG, April 30. Lieuten-ant-General Rudiger, Minister of War, went to Tsarskoe Selo today to report to Emperor Nicholas concerning the inci dents in the Douma Monday. A rumor is in circulation that he persuaded the Emperor to dissolve the Chamber because of attacks on the army. The session of the Cabinet tonight, however, was occu pied with ordinary business and one of the Ministers said there was no doubt the Douma would reassemble on May 13. Use Army to Crush People. The morning session of the Douma was stormy, Gregory A. Alexinsky, Social Democratic member for St. Petersburg, said Socialists everywhere refused to vote for military budgets because armies were used In the oppression of workers and that -there was a much greater reason that they should refrain In Russia, where i the soldiery was employed to crush the ; whole people. He resented the imputa ! tion that this was not patriotic and said, j if a German army a bugaboo invoked by I the Constitutional Democrats to pass the measure) appeared at the frontier, the j proletariat guard would as willingly die In defense of the fatherland as it now would end in fighting Its tyrants. He charged the army with participation in Jewish excesses. M. Alexinsky was repeatedly called to order and finally was denied the floor. After this the Social Democrats left the hall and the Constitutional Democrats J moved the closing of the debate. Army Bill Passed, Apology Made. The lower house passed the recruiting bill by 220 to 194 votes. The house also adopted a resolution setting forth the ne cessity of decreasing next year the num ber of men to be called to the colors and passed a law abolishing the custom of ; providing- soldier servants for officers j and the using of troops for police pur poses. Presidert Golovln apologized In be half of the House for the Incident last night, during which M. Zuraboff, So cialist, made a savage attack upon the army and the government. M. Golovln said that, in view of yes terday's reflections upon the army, he considered it to be his duty to an nounce that the House regarded - the army, which was true to the Father land, as deserving of all respect and gratitude. Socialists Attack Golovln. It is understood that this apology was acceptable to Premier Stolypln. The Socialists, however, retorted with a signed protest, declaring that M. Golovin's words infringed the preroga tives of the House, were opposed to the dignity of Parliament and sug gested the election of another Presi dent. In the open session of the Chamber, the Social Democrats proposed the discussion of a vote of censure of M. Golovln. but M. Golovin. amid hisses and catcalls from the left, ruled that criticism of the chair was out of order and refused to recognize Radical speakers. The court-martial bill was adopted with out discussion. The Reactionaries raised the point of no quorum and refused to be counted as present. In the remaining half of the House, however, a 'bare quorum was found to be present and the measure was passed. There is no possibility of its becoming a law. TRAGEDY OF THE REVOLUTION Female Terrorist Commits Suicide on Finding Husband Traitor. ST. PETERSBURG, April 30. The funeral today of Mme.

FIGURES FOR APRIL HIGH Outlook Good for May, as Permits Will Be Taken Out This Month for the Buildings on Pittock and Pennoyer Blocks. 'Greater Portland" is not a mere figure of speech. Even to one looking upon statistics as something ; beyond his ken, it must be evident that if in April, 1905, the build ing permits Issued In Portland footed up 262 items aggregating $350,802, and in the corresponding month Just ended the per mits represent 3S2 items, with a total of 11.645,450, there must have been in Port land a. most healthy growth in the month Of April, A. D., 1907. To have reached $1,000,000 for the month's building operations would show 100 per cent increase; to reach over three times the total last year means about 200 per cent Increase. Not only building-permit figures show the phenomenal growth of the Rose City, but other transactions add to the evi dence. Real estate transfers for the month foot up on the records at over $2,500,000. It should be noted, however, that nearly two-thirds of the transfers are recorded at nominal figures. That being the fact, and an examina tion of the records will prove It to be true, the total transfers for the month on a fair average price would be up ward of $8,000,000.
