st. Petersburg, February 15.-11:40 p.
MIN spite of Emperor Nicholas per-
sOnal inclination in favor of the Zem-
sky Sober. as intimated to Count Leo
Deonovitch Tolstoi, the imperial de-
cision to summon this parliament has
not yet been taken. The emperor is
carefully weighing arguments for and
against the plan before committing
himself to this course. This statement
is made upon the authority of perhaps
the most liberal of the emperor's min
listers. who this evening informed the
Associated Press that the question re-
mains under consideration at Tsarskoe-
Selo.
1t is understood that one of the argu-
nents used by the court party against
the revival of the Zemsky Sober is the
fact that the body in the old days
welded immense power, being itself
responsible for the elevatiun<~of tho
Romanoff dynasty to the throne, and
that therefore, it might even under
take. If again called into being, to elect
new ruler

DISCORD AMONG OFFICERS.
General StOeSSel and Admiral Lock
fnsky Refuse to Speak to and Sa-
lutte Each Other-Each Bitterly
Criticises the Other.

Paris February 15.-French special
correspondents sent to Mt. Thefnicn
aboard the steamer Australien having
on board General Stoessel and others
OF the survivors OF Port Arthur, for
ward detailed accounts of discoEd
among the Russian officers. The army
officers are particularly hostile to the
fleet, habitually calling it the Fright
ened' fleet. Admiral Lockinsky, who
was commander of the torpedo defenses
at Port Arthur, is lengthily quoted as
making a bitter criticism of General
Stoessel, Admiral Alexieff and Others.
The Matin quotes Lockinsky as char
acterizing Vice Admiral stark and Rear
Admiral Withoeft as ''Bedchamber ad
mirals, not acquainted with their duties
and seasick whenever af1oat.'
The admiral added that Vice Admiral
Skrydliff prudently established himself
ashore at Vladivostok, Notwithstanding g
his opportunity to break the ineffective
blockade Of Port Arthur. Lockinsky
cited many instances of the unpre-
paredness of the land and naval de-
lenses, frequent conflicts of authority
and the decentralization during critical
agements.
Substantially the same account is
given by four French newspapers who
describe General Stoessel and Admiral
Lockinsky as refusing to speak to or
salute each other. The papers say the
discord among the officers foreshadows
grave scenes before the court martial.

election of James H. Hyde, who is
owner OF 81 pet- cent. OF the stock as
first vice president, would be prejudi-
cfal - .a1e welfare and progress Of the
society.
Supporters of each side to the contro-
versy were in conference today with
their respective adherents. Mr.. Alex
ander made a statement in which he
said:

IRE time the strength and prosperity y
of the society by putting the power OF

Situation at Lodz is Becoming Nor,
Serious.

ISodz. February 15.-The situation
here is becoming more serious. Fewe
men We're wnrkejng today. There is
much suffering among. the families Ct
strikers. The director of the thread
mills at his own expense is daily giving
dinner to the workmen's children of
whom $50 were present today.
The governor himself admits that the
conditions are very grave. He is an
xious to avoid Dhcodshed but fears 1t
Will be difficult. He has peremptorily-
cCdered soldiers to refrain from excit-
ing the animosicy Of the strikers and
that they must not shoot unless first
attacked. The governor fears that it
Will be necessary finally to proclaim
martial Jaw, and this probably Will enc
Ine strike. but it may cost many lives.
The manufacturers are hesipating and
unable to reach an agreement with re-
gard to concessions. The large mills
remain caosed- The situation tonight
appears to be most grave and uniess
the deadlock is shorty broken the ou.-
look for settlement is extremely dis
couragtng.

Petition for letters of administration
for one of the most peculiar estates in
the history OF California probate courts

widow of the late Lewis Lebus.
The chief item mentioned in the sum-
mary of the property is $362,000, money
loaned out Lebus was known among
Los Angeles merchants as one Of the
most kind hearted of business men but

his friends amounted to such an amount
as that stated in the petition for pro-
bate.
The entire California estate amounts
to nearly $5O0,000 and Lebus left an
other large estate in Kentucky. The
value of the eastern estate has not
yet been estimated by the heirs.
Other items mentioned in the estate

PUBLICITY PROMOTERS
HAVE JOINED FORCES

For a number of years past the name
of Robert A. Read has been intimate
ly connected with many of the splen-
did successes made by numerous firms
in this city. His business as an ad-
vertising writer and clear-headed bus
mess promoter through the medium OF
printers ink in almost every form has
brought him prominently to view. The
rapid growth of the Read advertising
agency has caused much favorable
comment from those who appreciate
seeing a hustler get ahead. So rapid
has been this expansion that Mr.. Read
has associated with him as partner H.
w. Clough, another of the kind that
knows how to, and does things. Mr..
Clough has had an extended experience
in the advertising field, having handled
the business of many large concerns
with profit to them. This combination
of talent will be of interest to the ad-
vertisers Of Los Angeles who desire
good copy, the kind that brings re-
turns. Splendid offices are maintained
on the fourth floor of the Herman w.
Hellman building and the number Of
artists, designers and assistants for
every branch of the business is con-
stantly being augmented by the best
talent obtainable in the country. Los
Angeles has a number of splendid ad-
vertising agencies. better, in fact, than
any other city of like size in the
United States, and the Read agency
occupies top position among them.

PRosEcUTES EX-SEcRETARY
Ira B. Lothrop of the Rodman-Wise
Company Is Accused of En1-
bezzlement

After a lengthy examination before
Justice of the Peace Pierce yesterday,
Ira B. Lothrop, former secretary of the
Rodman-Wise company of Los Angeles,
was held, charged with embezzlement,
for trial to the superior court under
$4,000 bonds. The securities were fur
nished by the mans friends and he was
released.
1t is alleged by James Rodman, former
manager of the firm, that Lothrop
caused the corporations failure. The
firm was declared bankrupt several
months ago and following the ap-
pointment Of a receiver, the complaint
against Lothrop, charging embezzle-
ment, was issued and on September 1S
he was arrested in San Francisco and
brought back to Los Angeles
Lothrop is charged with embezzling
not only $316 of the firms cash but also
S754O.70 worth of jewelry AS this
comprised goodly portion of the FIRMS
money and all the stock the bankruptcy
proceedings soon followed.
The accused man was secretary Of
the company from September until De-
cember of 1904. 1t was during that time
that the money and jewels were alleged
to have been stolen.
Lothrop stoutly maintains his inno-
cence and has retained Attorney Earl
Rogers to represent him.
