TO BUY FROM ELKS
NEGOTIATIONS FOR BIBB STREET N PROPERTY.
Mrs. Massie offers s1s,200 For One
 Third Of Property Owned By the Montgomery Lodge. '5

A real estate deal by which one third of the Elks Home property on Ribb Street between Coosa and North Court Street will pass into the hands Of Mrs. Bessie K. Massie. Is now pend ing. and before the day is over. will probably have been completed.
 At meeting of the Elks last night, action was taken. agreeing to accept the offer of $1S.200 made by Mrs Mas sie. through her attorneys. for the cor ner at Bjbb and North Court, providing that certain conditions insisted upon by the purchaser. The result of the nego- tiations will probably be made known in full today.
 Some time ago the representatives of Board of Directors of the fraternal or ganization for the East portion of the Elks property. Last night this propo- sition was submitted at a meeting of the lodge. where its was decided to ac- cept the offer. providing that certain stipulations made by the Elks be agreed to by the purchasing party
 on both Bibb and North Conrt streets, facing 100 feet on the former thorough fare and 110 feet nthe latter. Most of it is at present occupied by a liv- cry stable.
 If this sale is completed. it will furn- ish another example of the rapid ln- crease in land values in Montgomery. The property now known as the Elks Home was bought by that .organiza- tion in 1909, at total cost of $19.500. l: includes the entire block on Bibb The portion which Is being negotiated today. for almost as much as tine en- tire lot was purchased four years ago is one-third of the Elks Home property.

pyofessor Mourpasntseff, President of . Lower House h DeliEhted With
 Result of His Audience With Csar Nicholas.

St. Petersburg. May 1.-The hope of the establishment of friendly relations betwe cen tho Emperor and National Par liament was further strengthened to- day by the audience granted by Elm poror Nicholas at Peterhon to Fro lessor Mourmontseff. President of the lower House.
 Professor Mourmontseff spoke only briefly laying especial emphasis on the Emperor's courtesy and consideration and his thorough knowledge of the sem timent in the Parliament and society.
 Professor Mourmontseff said politi- cal questions were not gone into as he had regarded 1t as not fitting that ths President of the representative cham Der should present at an official au- dience the views of any one group.
 Both the vice-presidents of the as- sembly will be Constitutional Demo- crats, though the opposition insisted at first that they be given one place, have been unable to agree on a candidate. The vfce-prosidents probably will b3 Professor Grodeskui sof Kharkon. and Prince Peter Doigovoyoukoff.

REINs NOT LOOsENED.
Mayor Schnsafx Suspends Liquor TraMc
 In Frisco Inden nltely

San Francisco, May 11.-That the au- thorities here have no intention of lossening the reins which have held the liquor dealers in check since the city suffered Its great disaster. was made plain today by an emphatic deciara- tion from Mayor Schmitz that all drinking places will be closed for an indefinite period.
 He attributed the remarkable ab- sence of crime and the exceptional or der which has prevailed since the con- hagration to the fact that the edict against the selling of liquor had been rigidly enforced.
 The stand of the Mayor was empha- sized when the Board of Police Com missioners met and unanimously en- dorsed a suggestion made by the Mayor that all saloon licenses be revoked. The Commissioners were a unit that the future welfare of the city would be enhanced by fewer drinking places. A number of saloon proprietors have in course of construction temporary build- ings. To these the Commissioners is- sued a warning advising them that the number of saloon licenses to be issued in the future would be greatly curtail- ed. and that 1t was unwise for them to incur any expense in the way of tenn porary building operations.
