"DIE - HARDS" REJOICING Publication of Document Without Consulting Imperial Cabinet Stirs London Circles. r.OXrON, March 9. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The Indian crisis, which has developed into a "sensa tion," if anything, exceeding the re cent crisis ' over tne premiership, threatens to involve the prime min ister And the coalition in still graver difficulties - The resignation of Edwin S. Montagu, secretary for India,; which in -many quarters was called a dismissal, has excited such Intense manifestations of joy In the "die hard" camp that there is an in clination- to see some connection be ween the two crises. Moreover, it provoked speculation concerning the position of ,, the Viceroy. Lord Reading, whose action In publishing the Indian govern ment's note was interpreted as an Intention to force' the hand of the imperial government. Lord Reading, desiring to publish the offending document, sought per mission of the secretary for . India, who technically is. hia superior, to make the statement public in India. Mr. Montagu, without consulting the cabinet, and while the prime minister was confined to his room by illness, grave permission, and Lord Reading had the statement published in In dia, from whicli country it was tele graphed through the ordinary chan nels to- the British, press. Cabinet Disapproves Action. - Mr. Montagu's cabinet colleagues took the ground that he should have withheld permission and simply brought the matter to the attention of the premier and cabinet for their mature consideration. Nothing is known as yet regarding Mr. Montagu's successor, or what position Lord Reading holds in the jaffair from the official viewpoint, but It was believed that the next Indian secretary will be a unionist and probably a member of the house of lords, which would be a concession to the unionists, who are demanding greater influence In the coalition. A story is current that the prime minister, while lying in bed looking over the morning papers, was amazed to read the India document. He im mediately summoned Secretary Mon tagu and other ministers to Downing etreet. Lord High Chancellor Birken head, Austen Chamberlain and Mr. Churchill considered the matter with the premier, and it was decided unanimously that Mr. Montagu could r,ot possibly retain office. Thereupon the ' premier sent to Mr. Montagu a formal request for his resignation. Cabinet Backs Premier?"" It was understood the remaining members of the cabinet later indorsed the action taken, ' they holding the view that Mr. Montagu was not en titled to permit publication. The announcement . of Secretary Montagu's resignation was received In the house of commons with fierce Welcoming cheers from a majority of the unionists and "die hards," the latter particularly evincing pleasure. Some of . the radicals professed to believe that Mr. Montagu's retirement is intended to appease the "die hards." although at the same time generally draining that the untimely publica tion of the offending document grave ly prejudiced the negotfations for revision of the Sevres ' treaty, and was ltely to produce a serious ef fect in India. 100 New Places Arranged for Use at Grand Opera. By the construction of a series of elevations for seats the seating ca pacity of Portland's public auditorium has been increased by 1000 seats. Hie work was completed yesterday by T. A. Huffaker, master mechanic of the building, and will be a per manent part of the building, increas ing the capacity of good seats from 3700 to 4705. The plan as worked out Tlaces ten rows of seats in each of the assembly rooms directly to the side of the main floor. Each row of seats is elevated four inches above the row in front, thus affording an excellent view of the stage. Heretofore seats placed in these rooms were on the flat floor and back of the first two rows the stage was not visible. Now the entire stage will be- visible from these seats. When the side rooms are needed for other . purposes the seats and elevations may be removed and ' stored away. The need for the extra seats tbe came apparent when the seat sale opened recently for the five great performances of the Chicago grand opera company. It became evident that the people of the northwest were going to flock to these performances in thousands and that the audito rium would not be adequate to care for the crowds. Therefore orders went out for immediate erection of the elevations. For the Chicago company's per formances they are already sold for several rows back, even though they have only been in the sale a few days. Also for the Chicago perform ances the natural seating capacity of the building has been increased by adding rows of seats in .the wids aisle3 in the balconies.'
