CHICAGO, April 14-Mayor Dunno
made a discovery today that, under
the new fire regulations of this city, he
is legally hotel keeper and lives in a
hotel.
"What in the world am I going to
find out next?" asked Mayor Dunno,
when he learned that his own fire de-
partment had found him occupying a
house in which there are more than
twenty persons.
This, says the law that was adopted
last month, constitutes the Dunno
home a hotel. The discovery was
made when Fire Inspector Johnson
reported that many of the downtown
hotels and lodging houses were vio-
lators of the law.
"By Jove," said the mayor, "there
are twenty-three in my house. Ten
little Dunnes, Mrs. Dunno, myself,
grandpas and grandmas, uncles and
aunts and five servants. L guess I'm
keeping hotel all right, but 1 must
have time to consider what is best to
do. L must consult my friends"
No hotel sign has as yet been hung
out in front of the Dunno home.

TRY MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
City Council Will Discuss the Propo-
sition at Its Next Session-Mem-
bers Are Said to Favor
the Plan
TRY MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

That the city of Los Angeles shall
issue bonds to amount to s2.5OO,OOO with
which to purchase or construct a NUM-
cipal gas plant is the proposition which
Councilman Houghton will present TO
the city council at Mondays session.
The Sixth ward councilman is the
chairman of the municipal ownership
committee of the council. The remain
ing members are Councilmen Smith,
Blanchard, Kern and Harmon. Yes
terday Councilman Houghton said that
if his committee would meet and rec
ommend to the council the action con-
templated the move would come as
from the committee, but should he fail
to get a meeting or the proposition
should not meet with the approval of
the other members of the committee
he will bring the question up himself.
Councilman Smith of the Fifth ward
has placed himself or record several
times as being in favor of municipal
ownership Of gas and other public
utilities. He takes the stand that the
people should be given the opportunity
to decide the question for themselves,
and has said that If possible through
any efforts he could make, he intends
to give them that chance before his
term of office expires.
Harmon Said to Favor Plan
Harmon has also expressed himself
as favoring municipal ownership. Whe-
ther or not these two members of the
committee will agree with the plan ad-
vanced by Dr. Houghton of course Will
not be known until after the question
has been brought before the committee
and explained in detail.
For some time a committee of clti-
zens representing the Municipal Owu-
ership club and representatives of the
Los Angeles Fellowship advised by
Benjamin Fay Mills have been discuss
ing the question of the city's owning
it's own gas plant and an agreement
was reached yesterday and a plan
adopted with the aid of Councilman
Houghton. and the proposition will be
submitted to the council Monday.
A visit to the city attorneys office
yesterday disclosed the fact that Los
Angeles has the right to issue $4,000, 900
in bonds exclusive of school and sewer
bonds. The proposed issue would then
leave the city $1,5OO,OOO as a reserve.
DIR. Houghton has decided to give UP
his practice, except for consultation,
and devote his entire time to the ques-
tion Of municipal ownership.

CRISIS EXPECTED
ABOUT MAY DAY
ST. PETERSBURG W0RKMEN
TO DEMONSTRATE
GRAVE NEWS FROM INTERIOR
Appeals for Military Protection Are
Pouring In, and All Signs Point
to Bloodshed on Large
Scale
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, April 14.-Devel-
opments all point to crisis in the pres
ent agitation among the workmen of
the cities and the peasants in the coun-
try on May day, and appeals are pour
ing in from all quarters of Russia for
military protection. The st. Peters,
burg workmen are preparing for a
great demonstration. Arms and bombs
in large quantities have been snug
gled in and bloodshed on a large scale
dinarily go to villas on the islands of
the Neva or to neighboring country
places are this year going abroad.
The government has taken few spec
ial measures to meet the situation,
evidently relying on the troops and
police to guard the capital All the
prominent agitators are being ar
rested or have already been sent back
to the villages from which they orig
ina1ly came. The prisons are filled to
overf1owing.
. There have been fresh disputes be-
tween the workmen and the managers
of the Putiloff, Baltic and Nevsky
works and between the employees and
the management of the government
cartridge factory. At the latter place
the men refuse to continue to donate
any portion of their pay to assist in
the support of families of the soldiers
at the front, claiming that the money
is used to prosecute the war, to which
they are opposed.
Baltic Provinces Excited
The news received from the interior
is alarming, especially from the Baltic
provinces, where the entire population
is in a state of intense excitement
The cities are being flooded with rev.
olutionary proclamations. calling on
the people to rise on May day. The
criminal classes are taking advantage
of the situation to pillage and plunder
while in the country the landlords are
powerless to cope with the peasants,
and demand the stationing of troops at
every station.
From Dunaburg, government of vi
tebsk, come reports that the Jews are
in state of panic over the circulation
of proclamations similar to those which
preceded the outbreaks at Kishineff
and Gomel.

AFRAID OF PEASANTS
Imperial Rescript Attributed to Alarm
Over Agrarian Agitation
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, April 14-The
imperial rescript addressed yesterday
to the minister of the interior, M. Boul-
igan; creating a special commission
under his presidency to discuss the
questions relating to peasant tenure
of lands, is direct recognition of the
grave peril involved in the spreading
peasant agitation, which threatens not
domains.
The instructions in the rescript to
work out a system clearly marking off
peasant land from the land of other
owners, Sin order to inculcate in the
people perception OF property owner
ship" amounts to an imperial refuta-
tion OF the stories current among the
peasants that the emperor had decreed
a new division of the land. 1t is feared,
however, that it may have exactly the
contrary effect, and that shrewd agi-
tators will be able to employ the re-
script bearing upon the general subject
of the increase OF peasant lands as be-
ing confirmation instead of a denial
of the reports that the agitators had
previously circulated about the en-
perors intention to redistribute the
land.
Two methods of relief are proposed
by the rescript-the purchase of adj
ditional land by the aid of a peas
ants bank and the colonization of ST.
IBERIA.

it comes too late" said a prominent
nobleman who has a large estate near

live upon his property.
Engineers Fall Into Line

now in session here is falling into line

CHICAGO VICTORY
PEOPLES TRIUMPH
CARTER HARRISON ARRIVES IN
LOS ANGELES
TELLS OF DEMOCRATIC SWEEP
Ex-Mayor Says That Judge Dunne's
Election Was Great Winning
for the Cause of Public
Ownership

Carter II. Harrison arrived in Los
Angeles last night.
He is accompanied by Alderman
Thomas Carey and Tax Collector Ed
ward Lahiff of Chicago, and will re-
main in Southern California six or
eight weeks.
Mr.. Harrison has come here for rec
reation, after having served four terms
as Democratic mayor of the
metropolis of the great lakes.
At La Grande station last night Mr..
Harrison was met by his wife and
son, and at once left for Redondo,
where his family have been spending
the last two months.
Mr.. Harrison is highly elated over
the great Democratic victory in Chi
cago a few days ago, which he char
acterizes as a triumph Of the people.
Mr.. Harrison said:
Judge Dunne's election to the Chi
cago mayoralty we consider not only
as a great victory for municipal own
ership, but a hard fought victory for
Democracy as well, combination in
which one victory is as great as the
other.
For eight years I have preached
municipal ownership, talked it and
written about it. Ownership by the
municipality Of it's utilities is the only
satisfactory method of handling such
enterprises.
Mr.. Harrison's Plan
what Judge Dunno is going to do in
not know. The plan advocated by
myself and many others is for the city
to take over Immediately the small
railway systems whose franchises have
already expired. This might be done
inside of a comparatively few months,
and it could be demonstrated in a
small way whether municipal owner
ship is a success If the attempt should
prove as satisfactory as L believe will
be - case, the city may then take
over the ownership Of other railways
as their franchises expire.
Government ownership of public
utilities is all right If it is properly
handled, but the government must pre-
pare for such a responsibility before it
attempts to acquire what are now
great private enterprises.
IT believe changes must be made in
our present methods of carrying on
such enterprises before the govern
ment will be ready for such an emer-
gency. For instance, we now have our
postoffice system under government
control, but we have had some very
large upheavals in the past few
months, which have shown a need of
Encouragement. 1t would not be possi-
BILE in the space of short interview to
explain my views on how the govern
ment should prepare itself for a gen.
eral taking over Of public utilities be-
fore it can hope to do such a thing
satisfactorily.
"I am in California for recreation.
have had no real rest for the past eight
years, and during the next six or eight
weeks I shall take it easy in Southern
California, spending much of the time
in the vicinity of Los Angeles in COM
pany with my family.

WALSENBURG, Colo, April IA
President Roosevelt came within 120
seconds of death this afternoon. Two
minutes after his special train tore
through here on its way to Colorado
Springs six gondola cars filled with
coal which were standing on a side
track, collapsed and fell across the
main track. Traffic was blocked for
half an hour. Had the accident oc-
Cured few minutes earlier the presi-
dents special would have crashed into
the debris and have been derailed. In
all probability President Roosevelt
would have suffered serious injury If
not death.
The presidents narrow escape occur
red at $40 this afternoon. He turned
in upon the Colorado and Southern at
Vernon, Texas, about 4:30 o'clock this
afternoon. AS soon as the engine was
attached the start was made for the
Colorado hunting fields. At Trinidad
he made a short speech, then the start
for Colorado Springs was begun.

Accident Narrowly Averted

cial was slightly behind time. On the
siding stood coal train. The engi-
nees of the latter believed everything
was clear on the line and began to
back his train off the siding on to the
main track.
Suddenly the presidents special
loomed in sight 200 yards away The
engineer of the freight reversed his en-
gine and set it ahead at full speed
The rear of the coal train just cleared
the switch as the presidents special
dashed by. Had the presidents spec-
ial been little earlier or the coal
train little slower horrible collision
would have resulted.
President Roosevelt's special was
travelling at the rate of sixty miles an
hour when it passed through Walsen-
burg. Shortly after the presidents spe-
cial passed six gondoia cars loaded with
coal collapsed. Had this accident oc-
Cured few minutes sooner it is as
serted the presidents train surely
would have been derailed.
President Roosevelt was standing on
the rear platform when the collapse
of the gondola cars occurred. The
president, as If he were an old rail-
roader, Immediately gave three pulls
on the bell cord and stopped the train.
He was the first at the scene of the
wreck. Directly he discovered no one
was injured he boarded his train and
