PEOPLE CAN'T
FRAME A CONSTITUTION
Premier Witte Is Quoted a.
Saying No Such Attempt
Will Be Allowed.
GAR is STILL
He Can Even Abridee the Rights Al
ready Granted, If Witte Is Quoted
Correctly by a ST. Peters
burg Paper.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 13.-Premier
White. according to the Novoe-Vrenl-
yea, at his reception yesterday of a del
egation headed by the mayor of st.
Petersburg which called on him to re-
guest 4 relaxation of the orders of the
iprefect of police against meetings in
Che interest of an electoral campaign,
declared emphatically the government
would not go an incl beyond the Inn
:oerial manifesto in the question of
transforming the national assembly
onto q constituent assembly for the pur-
,pose of formulating Il constitution, and
will not tolerate any attempt to do so.
which would make it Il revolutionary
assembly and subject TO dissolution by
che emperor.
The Novoe-Nremyea also claims the
premier announced the emperor had
not abrogated his autocratic power and
could still by imperial manifesto,
broaden, abrldge and even abolish the
rights granted to the people.
Continuing. the paper quotes White
as saying much is expected of the Man
churian army in the restoration OF or
.ler in Russia. Only the rear forces,
otherwise reservists. comprising 80 per
cent. Of the army. are demoralized. The
'elnainder is in splendid condition.

Municipal Elections Out Of Con-
troll Of National Politics.

Chicago. Jan, 13.-Reformers from
many cities gathered here today to at
tend the opening session of the confer-
nce called by h Municipal Voters
league of this city to discuss the follow
ing subjects:
THE extent to which municipal cleo
lions should be separated from national
party politics, and the control Of ma
tional political parties, and the best
by which such separation as
may be deemed advisable can be
brought about"
More than fifty delegates had regis
tered before the meeting was called to
order by President Walter l.. Fisher, of
the Municipal Noetrs' league of this
city. A few of the suggestions madesby
the speakers for separation Of national
and municipal politics follow:
That elections should he held upon
different dates.
That it SHOULD be impossible to vote
q straight party ticket by a single cross
upon the ballot.
That the names OF all candidates
should be arranged upon the ticket in
alphabetical order.
n reduction of elective municipal
officers as far as possible.
Adjournment was taken after the ap-
pointment Of committees on resolutions
rules.

The Usefulness of Sharks.

from PearSOn'S Magazine.
The shark is undoubtedly n dog viii,
a bad name" He is called opprobrl-
ously the Tiger Of the Seas or the
Sailors Foe" or any other scurrilous
name which happens to be handy. Much
mud is thrown at him, and, as he sell
dom finds a defender, most OF it sticks.
Hard lines this! Because in reality
this blue water boyle is Il humble and
useful public servant. who performs
uncomplainingly the duties connected
with the sanitation of the seas.
me shark Is the common %scavenger
ana general undertaken of the ocean.
He is not, and, for reasons connected
WITH his very moderate speed-limit,
never can be, primarily. a fish Of prey.
open any captured shark. and you will
ma clear proof that this is SO. A few
tangled bits Of rope yarn, a battered
corned beef tin, a corked bottle con-
aiming an insulting message to the
hnder thrown overheard by some aut-
zeal wag), or a sailors cap which has
been lost in a gale. all tend to show
that the shark Is a fish Of b~usinesslike
habits. with a keen y to any chance
windfalls which may come in his way:
but the more digestible contents of his
stomach, consisting mainly Of carrion
OF every kind, all give the clearest OIL

fine sanitary inspector came along,

removed them into his own internal
refuse bin.
A large accumulation of carefully.
collected evidence On this point proves
conclusiyely that there are. as II matter
of fact. only two articles OF his ordi-
nary menu which the shark is able to
capture alive; namely. an occasional
unwary sea-foWl which he may haDDen
to surprise, asleep on the surface or
the water, and the ugly. octopus-like
squid, whose limited powers Of loconlo-
ton give a chance to our hungry four
knot prowler.

paints him. Is a mere Woodworking,
commonplace drudge: and, as such, de-
