STERN DEMANDS

I

Allow Arrest of Conspirators
or Dissolve, Says
Stolypin.
ULTIMATUM IS REJECTED
Dissolution of Donma Is Matter of
Hours Troops Surround Taurlde
Palace and Reactionists Ac
claim Death of Liberty.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 14. The
absolution of the lower house of the
Russian Parliament appears today to
be a question of only a few hours, or
at most of a day or two.
With only 130 opposing; votes, the
lower house tonight rejected Premier
Ktolypln's ultimatum for the immedi
ate suspension of 65 Deputies for
membership in the Social Democratic
party, and referred the subject to a
committee. Although the committee
has been Instructed to repoat tomor
row evening. It is known in advance
that the decision on the main Question
will be adverse and that the Douma
Will accept the recommendations.
May Demand Evidence.
Tn order to keep strictly within Its
leal rights, the committee may rec
ommend the suspension of 16 leaders
on condition that the government dis
close the evidence against them, but
there is not the slightest expectation
on either side that thhi will save the
situation.
An extraordinary session of the
Council of Ministers is being held to
night to discuss the decision of the
lower house. Up to a late hour, no re
port has been received from the Coun
cil and no decf" of dissolution has
been Issued. Tho general Impression
Is that no edict will be promulgated
pending final action by the lower
house.
Victory for Reaction.
The session of the St. Petersburg
committee of the Social Democrats
was attended by a large number of
the accused Deputies The meeting
is being held in secret, the police hav
ing occupied the headquarters of tile
party.
The prestige of the military organ
ization has been particularly affected
by the recent arrests, which have al
most entirely nullified the effects of
the propaganda in the army. ,
Tile present step Is regarded by the
reactionaries as a turning back of the
hands of Russian history to an hour
before the promulgation of the famous
October manifesto. It is a foregone
conclusion that no new Douha will be
convoked on the basis of the present
electorate.
STOLYPIN MAKES DEMANDS
Threatens Dissolution and Surrounds
Douma With Troops.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 14. Premier
Stolypin today demanded that the lower
house of Parliament exclude from the
house all the members of the Social
Democratic faction, numbering 65, and
sanction the arrest of 16 of their leaders,
including M. M. Alexinsky, Tzeretell,
Dihaparidze and Ozel, on the charge of
entering into a conspiracy to overthrow
the government and establish a demo
cratic republic.
Continuing, the Premier announced that
unless the House Immediately yielded
Parliament would be dissolved.
The press and public galleries were
cleared, the police and troops took pos
session of the entrances to the Parlia
ment building, and the house went into
secret session and debated the question
raised by the Premier.
The Douma eventually declared a recess
until this evening without taking a vote
on the government's demands.
The streets outside the Taurlde Palace
are filled with secret police, who. It is
presumed, had orders to arrest the Social
Iemocratlc members of the house when
they emerged from the building. The
courtyards of the buildings In the vicinity
of the ' palace are tilled with Cossacks
and mounted police.
When the session was resumed, the
Constitutional Democrats, Poles and
Group of Toll decided to. refer the gov
ernment's demand for the exclusion of
the Social Democrats to a committee,
which was a virtual rejection of the
Premier's ultimatum.

Nicaragua Openly Sends Army to
Aid Revolutionists.
WASHINGTON, June 14. What
amounts to. an actual declaration of
war between Nicaragua and Salvador
was contained In the reply of Presi
dent Zelaya to an inquiry from Wash
ington as to his connection with the
recent attack and capture of Acajutla.
The answer came to the State Depart
ment today In the shape of the follow
ing cablegram from American Consul
General Ollvares, at Managua, the Nlc
araguan capital:
"I am officially Informed that, in ac
cordance with the Central American
Union plan. President Zelaya hais dis
patched munitions of war and troops

PLAYS A WAITING GAME
Clenicnceau Delays Stern Measures
Against AVinegrowers.
PARIS. June 14. The Ministry of the
Interior has no intention at present of
Instituting proceedings against the wine
growers' oentral committee. The of
ficials here are hopeful that the concil
iatory manner of Premier Clemenceau
toward the municipalities, with its grave
a-arnlngs of tho responsibility attaching to
attempts to breac down the whole civil
government, will -prove fruitful and that
tn movement will 'be .stemmed before it
becomes necessary to employ sterner
measures.
The situation in the so-called "federated
provinces" is developing most slowly. A
dozen more municipal officers have sent
in their resignations, but these marks of
sympathy with the winegrowers' move
ment are not coming in as fast as the
central committee anticipated.
In the meantime the Government " is
pushing through the Chamber of Depu
ties its anti-fraud tin, which the Minis
ter considers will go a long way to
satisfy the winegrowers.

were cast In 1867 for the monitor Puritan
two 20-inch guns, which Captain W. C.
Wise, then chief of the Naval Bureau of
Ordnance, proposed to call Satan and Lu

test from the pastor of a Presbyterian
Church at. Pittsburg, who characterized
it as "most unseemly, If not Impious."
His .letter was referred by 'the member of
Congress to whom it was addressed to
the department, and finally it came into
the hands of Captain Wise for reply. In
answer he called attention to the foreign
custom of giving to vessels such names as
Jupiter, Juno. Vulcan. Venus, Juggernaut.

an idea of the -power of the destructive

AN APOLOGY
In the Friday corset advertise
ment we stated that we carried
the Adjusto Dowager Royal Cor
sets, in the front lacing models.
This was a mistake- on the part of
the advertising man, and the
manager of the corset department
wishes to correct it. The Adjusto
models are for stout figures and do
not lace in front, the front lacing
models are for slender figures.
The advertising man takes all the
blame for the error, as usual
