VIENNA, Jan. 23.-The occurrences
of Sunday in st. Petersburg made the
deepest impression here upon all
classes and are practically the sole
topic of discussion at the principal
cafes and clubs.
There being no Sunday afternoon
papers here the people did not learn
the full story of the st. Petersburg
riots until this morning. This morn
ing the papers published extracts
with black headlines. most of them
reading Revolution Has Broken Out

The afternoon papers print page af-
ter page of st. Petersburg dispatches,
practically excluding all other news.
The lack of a repressive censorship in
Russia and the fact that the whole
story apparently was telegraphed from
st. Petersburg were much commented
upon and declared to be unprecedent-
ed. The ST. Petersburg occurrences
were called "a full fiedged revolution" :"

Against Plan to Reeede the VAL

Government

by Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 23.-An unusual
ly spirited debate Is expected in the
upper house Of the legislature tomor-
row morning when the bill providing
for the recession of the Yosemite valley
to the United States comes up for pas
sage on file The leading argument
against the bill will be made by Sena-
tor Curtin, who declared tonight that
there are enough votes to defeat the
measure In the senate.
Another lively scene over patronage
Is promised in the senate tomorrow
morning. The leaders in the movement
for economy have discovered that the
last list Of attaches was passed with
out the necessary three-fifths vote.
They have appealed to the state con-
troller, who declares that the addi-
tional employees will not be paid unless
It can be shown that they were ap-
pointed in q regular manner. The ma
jority who have favored patronage are
declaring that the speaker announced
the extra attaches as having been
legally appointed and that there can
not be a reconsideration of his ruling.
One of the important measures passed
by the senate today was Senator Wood
wards bill providing that banks may
be organized with capital of $4,000
instead of $4,000 in all cities, towns or
counties having population of 1000 or
over. Senator Ralston, who was the
only opponent of the bill, read letter
from the California State Bankers as
sociation urging its defeat His argu-
ment was that the organization of a
of small banks might weaken
the larger financial institutions. Sena-
tor Rowell and Senator Hahn made
addresses in favor of the
which was finally passed by
a vote of 80 to 1.
At a spirited meeting of the judiciary
committees of the legislature tonight it
was decided to report against a portion
of the bill providing for the appoint
ment of attaches for the new appellate
lied the naming of a clerk at $2400
year, stenographer at $500,
bailiff at $1,000 and an assistant
clerk at $1,000 for each of the courts.
After streuous objection, on the
ground that the state is supporting too
many useless attaches, it was decided
to strike out the provision for assistant
clerks, leaving that duty to the stenog-
raphers.

ANDREW D. WHITE SAYS
WEAK MAN LIKE GAR
is UTTERLY POWERLESs
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
ITHACA, N. Y, Jan. 23.-Andrew d.
White, former ambassador to Russia,
one of the best informed Americans on
Russian affairs, today made the follow
ing statement in regard to the situation
in st. Petersburg:
IF the czar is a weak man, as the
present emperor is, he can do very
little. A weak man cannot know any
thing about the empire to speak of, be-
cause he is surrounded by grand dukes
women, etc, who tell him what they
want him to believe and keep all the
truth away from him, which they do
not wish him to hear.
1.-THE main difficulty in the whole case
is that the emperor is supposed to do
all the thinking for 41O,00O,OOo people
scattered over the largest territory pos
sessed by any government in the world,
with all sorts of different races, relig-
ions and ideas and this no man can do,
and least Of all in a time like this.
1.-The simple fact is that the evils of
the old system have now become abso-
lutely intolerable. And when you add
to the fact the sending of immense
numbers of the best young men in the
country to an utterly useless and
wicked war, and the pressure of taxa
ton which grinds the people to the
dust, you have a situation which none
but the very strongest rulers in all
human history can cope with. The czar
has no strength of character, no proper
education and is hopelessly unfit to
grapple with the situation.
mo doubt the worst of the features
of the situation have been kept from
him."
Mr.. White said it was not likely the
advisers OF the emperor would try to
follow out the policy of Emperor
Nicholas ], who had the ringleaders of
the insurrection of eighty years ago
shot, hanged or sent to Siberia.
He did not believe, however, that i'm
portant changes in Russia could long
be delayed.

Spangler is a mechanical genius and

This winter Spangler entered the ice

his homemade auto to this purpose,

frame for him and a circular saw was
soon attached to the rear axle. A big

smoothly and rapidly that they saw lit

In its new capacity the horseless car

willingness was expressed to negotiate
