WILL VOTE APRIL IA ON
HARBOR AND POWER BONDS

In order that the Los Angeles habit
of monthly elections may not be
broken the city attorney will present
two ordinances to the council today,
providing for three kinds of elections.
The first will be April IA, when the
bond election will be held. The coun-
Gil is expected to pass the ordinance
for this today. This election is to vote
SO, 900, 900 for harbor bonds and $3,5OO,OO0
for developing power on the line OF
the owens river aqueduct.
Another ordinance will call an cleo
ton to choose a successor to fill the
vacancy in the council caused by the
resignation of Richmond Plant. No
date is fixed in this ordinance, but it
will be in little more than ninety
days, bringing the election about the
first week in June. If the general
election is fixed for that time the
primary nominating election that fol-
lows it will have to be held in May,
so that April, May and June will be
provided with elections.

OF AMERICANS IN RUSSIA
Ambassador RockhilI Instructed by
President to Call Cars Atten-
ton to Alleged Violations

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-President
Taft has instructed Ambassador Rock
hill at st. Petersburg to make strong
representations to the Russian gov
ernment looking to the inviolahility of
American passports in that country.
Mr. Rockhill, it is stated, will take
the matter up personally with the en-
peror. This information came today
at an interview granted by the presi-
dent to the publishers of two of the
most influential Jewish newspapers in
this country, Messrs. Leon Kamarky
and Jacob Faphirstein of New York.
These callers told the president that
for a number of years the Jews of
this country had been endeavoring to
obtain action that would give Ameri-
can citizens freedom from political
arrest in Russia

PROPOSE GENERAL STRIKE
OF ALL WORKING WOMEN

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-A general
strike of all the working women in
the United States, whether employed
in kitchen or factory. is proposed in
the interests of woman suffrage, by
officers of the Shirtwaist Workers
union here.
"If all the women in the country
would stop work." is the statement of
Miss Rose Snyder Man, one Of the
union leaders, 1.-The men would at once
sit up and take notice. 1t is absolute
ly useless for women to go to the legis-
lature and petition for suffrage. The
legislatures look upon the petition and
the petitioners as a huge joke. A gen.
eral strike for the ballot would be just
as successful as was the recent shirt
waist strike in this city"

ASQUITH GIVEN
LEASE OF LIFE
CONSERVATIVES DELAY ACTION
ON MEASURE
Budget for Two Years May Be Con-
bined, and Features Objection
able to Irish Members
Be Left Out
IAssociated Pressl

LONDON, Feb. 2S-At the session of
the house OF commons today the out
come of which was eagerly awaited
by all the members of both houses
able to pack themselves into the cham
ber. Premier Asquith's government
obtained lease of life until after
Easter.
This was the gift of the ConserVa-
tives, who were so anxious to avoid
two general elections within so briet
a period that they accepted the pre-
miers program without calling for
vote.
When the house of commons meets
after Easter it will take up the strug-
Gle to reVolutioniZe the British gov
ernment system.
Resolutions will be presented to de-
priYe the house of lords Of all autnor-
ity over finances and of the power OF
Vetoing the measures of the lower
house, leaving to the lords only the
functions of delay and discussion
If this plan succeeds the government
proposes next year to proceed with the
transformation of the house of lords
from a hereditary to democratic
body.
Such was the program on which the
prime minister and Chancellor Lloyd
George declared the government
staked it's existence.
In the meantime the budget stands
sidetracked. 1t is likely when it i;
taken up it will combine the budgets
of two years, shorn of the features OBJ
iectionable to the Irish members Be
fore the Easter adjournment the house
of commons will deal with resolutions
enabling the government to continue
to borrow money, and with the appro-
priation bill for the army, navy and
other departments.
Mr. Asquith's plan gained the sup
port of the advanced radicals and OF
the Laborites, who have been waver-
ing, so that the government later IN
the evening had majorities of ninety
one and ninety-fve, respectively

THINK DESERTERS' WERE
ROBBED AND MURDERED
Identification of Body of Soldier Ac-
cused of Deserving from Fort
Worden Changes Belief

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Feb 2S.
The body of the soldier found at the
base of cliff near Fort Worden last
week has been partially identified as
that of Private Rel, who was posted
as a deserter nearly a year ago. The
hair and facial bones correspond with
the post records of Reil Both Rel
and Robert B. DUNN, who was found
murdered two weeks ago, We're un-
usually good soldiers, officers say.
DUNN was born in Missouri and en-
listed at Columbus Barracks, Ohio
three years ago The list of supposed
deserters from Fort Worden during
the past year numbers thirty. So many
of the men posted were excellent sol
diers, with money, that their officers
adhere to the theory that they were
robbed and murdered.
