CHARGES OF FRAUD.
Receiver is Aslked for Valuable Property
 In CnitfOrnfm.

in California.
 Los Angeles. Cal, Dec. 19.-Charges of fraud in the management of prop erty said to be worth more than $6,000.- 900 and composing more than 1000 acres of the most fertile citrus lands and waterways in Southern California, In Riverside and San Bernardino Coun- ties, form the basis of petition filed in the Federal Court here yesterday. The action which asks for the appoint ment of a receiver and which was filed by Matthew Gage and his wife. Jane Gage, is directed against the fol- lowing:
 The Riverside Trust Company. the Northern Counties Inyestment Com pany, the Riverside Orange Company, Thomas H. Newton. Wilson Crewdson. Joseph Gurney Fowler Richard L. Harrison, Edwin wsterhouse and w. R. Winterbotham, all of Great Britain and Ireland.
 It appears, according to the petition. that Matthew Gage. owner of the 1000 acres of land in question, had expended large sums of money in cultivating and developing the property, and being financially unable. after time, to care properly for his holdings, formed what is known as tho Riverside Trust Com pany, interesting English and Irish capitalists, to take over the lands and waterways and proceed. with the work of development
 In detail the petition recites charges of insincerity on the part of the de- fendants. Mir, Gage asks that a TO- ceiver be appointed to take charge of the property until such time as 1t can be sold, and he is given his share from the disposal of the holdings, which he estimates to be worth $2,260.000.

CALL FOR GENERAL STRIKE 4
 TO BEGIN THURSDAY AT NOON

emperor asked M. Shipoff bluntiy whether he regarded universal suf- frage as necessary for the best inter- ests of the country and the people, to which NJ. Shipoff replied emphatically that he did.
 M. Gutchoff discussed in detail tho educational test as well as the other restrictive systems proposed, stating his objection to each and concluding with the declaration that universal and equal suffrage was necessary.
 Baron korff announced his conver- sion to the granting of universal suf- frage, saying that he had opposed 1t in the past but he was now convinced that circumstances rendered it inevita- ble
 The greatest surprise, however. was the speech of Count Bobrinsky, master of the court, who heretofore had been an implacable opponent of unrestricted suffrage. The Count began by con fessing that two weeks ago he be- lieved such a suffrage should never have been conceded. Now, however. while he still regarded suffrage re- stricsed to the enlightened classes as the safest for Russia, he was convinc- ed that all considerations must give way to single interest, the salvation of the fatherland Universal suffrage. he said. had become the watchword of the people and in such a crisis the government must seize the psychologi- cal moment. The speech made great impression.
 During the dinner which followed with Count Witte at the head of the table, even the most reactisnary of those present hinted that 1t might be necessary after all to grant universal suffrage. It Is now understood that Count Witte at the iscussion, which Will be reumed tomorrow is determin- frage scheme.

May Be the Final Struggle
 in Russia.
LEADERS SAY THEY
 WILL STOP ALL TRAFFIC
Empire Will Again Be Cut Off
 from the World.
h Conference af Tsurkoe-SelO, the Zemstvoists Impress Upon the Cxar that Universal Suffrage
 Must Be Granted.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 20.--(2:05 a. m.) A call for a general political strike throughout Russia, to begin Thursday at noon was issued tonight. The call is approved by the Union of Unions. the Union of Peasants, the General workmen of St Petersburg and Mos COW. 4 response received from the railroad men of Moscow is unanimous for a strike. The leaders have de- clared their ability to stop every rail- road in Russia.
 The strike order renders every mem ber of the strike union signing it lia- the new strike law and Minister of the Interior Durnovo attempted to telegraph orders to Moscow to arrest members of the railway union and of the workmen's council but the des- patches were held up by the railroad telegraphers.
 The members of the St. Petersburg by the General Railway Union and the Moscow Council of Workmen that in principle they were ready for strike. but that they hesitated on practical grounds. The St. Petersburg leaders, however, felt that their prestige would suffer severely unless they could arrest the Governments determined offensive
  were committed to full revolution se- cretly dreaded that the ground would be swept from under their foot should the Government promulgate a law granting universal suffrage.
 Workmen Want Presents.
 It is expected that there will be diff nculty in enforcing a general walk out on the eve of Christmas holidays when Russian workmen, especially the rail- road employees. are looking forward to the customary presents, which some times amount to as much as one or two months wages.
 Envoys returning from the interior report that many of the proletartat in several of the provinces will not be ready for struggle before January.
 The committee Of the League of Leagues. prominent members of which are expecting arrest on account of the manifesto Issued by the League this morning, were present at the meeting of the council of workmen, as were also leading lights of the revolution who ara working desperately to coordinate all el- ements in struggle against the Gov ernment.
 The printers of Moscow will strike today but those of St. Petersburg have decided to strike only when ordered to do so. .... ..
 The police yesterday afternoon vis- tied the printing office in which the workmen's paper was published Monday but the revoIutionary printers had not left the slightest evidence of their work. "s .

PARLIAMENT PRoRoGUED.
May Arerst the Internal Dfffieulties o
 Amfrea~ ~Exmugnry

Autria-Hungary.
 Vienna, Dec. 19--The fact that the Hungarian parliament today accepted the royal decree of propagation will ap- monarchy of the possibility of internal difficulties confronting 1t as a result of the prolonged political crisis in Hungary. New commercial treaties are pending with Germany. Russia. Italy. Switzerland and the Balkan States but that with Germany already has been ratified by the Austrian half of the dual monarchy and must become oper- ative by January 8.
 Now that the Hungarian parliament has been prorogued, the emperor-king can see his way clear to concluding these treaties and having them pro- mulgated by his government at Vienna and Budapest even without parliamen- tary ratification.
 It is certain that. the Hungarian par liament would have refused to ratify the treaties had they been submitted to it. Tho emperor-king's authority to act Independently of paliament prob ably, will not be questioned by the countries concerned. This step will practically continue the Ausgieich which regulates the financial and com mercial affairs of the two countries automatically for another decade.
 The period of life of these new com mercial treaties will tend strongly to hold Austria and Hungary together for at least that length of time for any economic separation by Hungary dur ing the periods of the treaties would necessitate their repudiation. Further more. the German treaty was ratified by the German and Austrian parlia- ments on the presumption that its life would witness no material change in the Austro- Hungarian economic rela- tions.
 This lessening of the danger Of in ternational complications for the time being reduces the Austria Hungarian dissensions to practically a Hungarian affair; that of the language of com mand to be used In the army a ques- tion of taxes and that of recruits still remain tho principal features.

 St. Petersburg, Dec. l9.--Russia ap- parently is on the eve of a great, if not a final. struggle for mastery between the Government and the proletariat Both sides have lined up for battle
 Late this afternoon all indications pointed to a declaration of war by the proletariat in the form of a summons for a complete general strike tomor- row which will tie up the railroads. the telegraphs, and every industry and business in the Empire.
 All the proletariat groups here have decided in favor of a general strike, workmen's council and the allied bodies at Moscow have also pronounced in favor of 1t. The decision of the Central Committee of the Railroad Union, sitting at Moscow. without the support of which the other organfza- tions specially will not predict re- suit, has not yet been received. It is understood that the delegates from St. Petersburg and the Baltic provinces are in favor of the movement, and the leaders here are confident that the radicals will carry the day

almost put the telephone exchange next

girls did not complain, but the windows
of the operating room on that side OF the

they could attend to the calls IN a salts
