"Wo want It understood that. If tho

employ a state constabulary of police
men for that purpose and let us be

tho national miuril down today Is that
a meat many labor organizations
look upon II as an enemy."
Tho great area served by the San
Pranclsco bank, larger than that of
any olhor federal reserve bank, Is
one reason the board thinks tho es
tablishment of a branch necessary.
It Is understood also that the recent
appointment of tho Philippine Na

Orient of the San KranciHco bunk has
greatly expanded tho reserve bunk's
business.

Location of the bunk probably will be
decided next Tuesday at a meeting
hero of directors of the federal re

Tnconia, Spokane and Portland with
Ailolph C. Miller, member of I tin fed

from Washington u u few days.
, "Neod for tho now bank in tho
northwest has been amply demon
strated," said Chairman I'errln. "Tho
distance- between Seattle and San
Kranclsco, for Instance, Is greater by
far than tho dlstanco hotwoen any

"Wo find It takes about six days
on an average for tho round trip in

pedient to send an agent thero. It
is expediency that hus demanded the

, WASHINGTON', March 2!). Presi

WASHINGTON', March 2 9. The
British bark N'eath from Mauretlus
for Havre with sugar was torpedoed

day, 2 8 miles southeast of Kastnet.
according to state department re
ports today from Consul Krost at
Queenstown. Two Americans, Clar

Peter Webster, negro seaman of Pen-

but escaped together with other ineni
bors of tho crew without loss or In-Jury.
"The liritlsh bark Nenth." Consul

given.

OF
BALLOT REFORM
COPENHAGEN, March 29. The
demand for the Immediate Introduc
tion of Internal reform In Germany,
particularity In Prussia, which the
socialists and radicals have been ad
vocating tor months has received a
strong Impetus from the Russian rev
olution. The press organs of these
parties, declare thr.t Russia's revolt
to democracy leaves Germany and
Austra-Hungary alone among the bel
ligerents as representatives of non-
parliamentary regimes and necessi
tates German reforms without wait
ing for the end of the war, as Chan
cellor Von Hollweg advocates.
The Vorwaerts declares that other
wise the conviction of the entente na
tions that they are not fighting for
the freedom of the world against an
tiquated modes of government will
grow stronger and stronger. In Wed
nesday morning's leader the Vor
waots attacks the chancellor on this
ore more vigorously than at any
time since the paper passed into the
control of the moderate socialists. It
abandons entirely the attitude of sup
port which the socialists under
Scheldomnnn's leadership have been
extending to the chancellor and em
ploys the sharp language of ante-bel
lum days. The attitude of the other
socialist papers also leaves little
doubt that a campaign on this Issue
is about to be luunched In the "reich-
stag.
the dispatch. It was thought prob
able that after the captain was made
prisoner the undersea craft was cap
tured and the Neath's captain landed
at Queenstown.
