SENT NO u IMATUM.
England Is Declared to Be in Full
Accord With Russia.

London, Dec. 2S.-The foreign Of
flee declares to be absolutely without
warrant and entirely incorrect the
statement circulated in the United
States that the British government had
sent an ultimatum to Russia demand
ing the imm ediate cessation Of the raw
ages of the Cossacks in Persia
The attitude of the British govern
ment has not changed in any way since
Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey
spoke in the house of commons on
November p on foreign affairs and
recognized that the action of Russia
in northern Persia was justified from
the Russian point of view. On that
occasion he also testified to Russian
loyalty to the Anglo Russian agree
ment in regard to Persia. The attitude
of the British government has not
changed since Foreign Secretary Sir
Edward Grey spoke in the house of
commons.
on that occasion he also testified to
Russian loyalty to the Anglo-Russla
agreement in regard to Persia the
foreign office is not in the least likely to
take any step that will embarrass Russia
at the present crisis. The British gov
eminent may even find it necessary to
send reinforcements of troops from India
to Southern Persia in consequence of the
attack on the British consulate at kaze-
room but a large punitive expedition IS
not at present contemplated.

DYNAMITE CASE DRAGS.
Numerous Witnesses Are Awaiting But
None Is called.

Los Angeles Dec. 2s.@Further evil
dence of the depth of the probe which
the federal grand jury is making into
the alleged national dynamite con-
spiracy was given when it called as a
witness today a woman employed as
stenographer in the Office of Olaf A.
Tveitmoe of San Francisco, a union
labor leader. Her name was said to
be Auropy. Meanwhile her employer
waited to testify.
With the expectation that several
more witnesses from the Home colony
near Seattle. where the alleged dyna-
miters, "Schmitty'' and Caplan. were
said to have found refuge. might soon
appear before them. the members of
the federal grand jury resumed the in
vestigation today George Haley, for
merly business agent for the Pile
Drivers union at Seattle, is another
desired witness but was said to be
either in Vancouver or Victoria.
Meanwhile. although the jurors
seemed to be waiting for witnesses
from Seattle. several of the most
prominent labor leaders on the Pa
cific coast summoned here ten days
ago had not been called, but were al
lowed to wait day after day outside
the jury room. Among these were
Olaf A. Tveitmoe, Eric B. Morton and

SEEK NEW MEMBERS.
Commercial Club Committee Plans
Campaign for Members.

Plans were discussed for the big
gest mem bership campaign which has
been waged by the Commercial club
since its reorganization nearly three
years ago, by the committee on mem
bership today. 1t was decided to rope
in all the most influential men of the
club as team leaders. and invite them
to be present a. a meeting to be held
in the noon hour some time next
week.
We now have 700 paid up Hem-
bers in good STANDING" said Secretary
j. VIII Kelley, and We want at least
1900. This would bring us in $4,000
each year in regular dues. AS it tax es
between $4,000 and $1,000 to run the
club for a year this would give US
balance of several thousand dollars to
be devoted to outside enterprises 1t
will probably take from $4,000 to So
600 to assist the farmers in road
building. Then having this fund would
relieve the men who are continually
being solicited for funds to be used
for various purposes.
y. B. Burge proposed that a public
ity committee of three be appointed
and that while the campaign is in
progress full page newspaper ads be
published setting forth the value of the
Commercial club to the city. Those

REPORTS OF AIRMEN
Indicate That Turks and Arabs Are
Massing Their Forces.

TripoH. Dec 2s-According to infor-
nation gathered by airmen attached to
the italian army and by scouting par
ties of cavalry the Turks and the Arabs
are concentrating in great force to the
south of Ainzara.
The Italians send out frequent small
parties to make reconnaissance but they
do not proceed far away from the Ital-
ian camp as another onslaught by the
Turks is feared.
The position of the Turks is the same
from which they made their last attack
which resulted in a severe fight lasting
six hours and the retirement of the
Italians.

Continental Creamery Officials
Make Larceny Charge.
Express Driver COnfesses, Tell
ing Names of CuIprits.
ARRESTS EXPECTED.
Cream Stolen Then Sold to Its
Rightful Owner.
Carefully Laid Plan to Steal 1t
Is Alleged.

The driver Of one of the delivery
wagons of the Continental Creamery
company was taken in custody by
special officers of the Santa Fe yes
terday after an investigation that has
been in progress for several weeks
concerning the loss of cream and
butter fat from the cans which are
received here by the Wells Fargo Elk
press company for the creamery com
pany.
The arrested man was taken to the
office of H. II. German of the Santa
F'e secret service department by Carl
Lawson, who is on duty at the Santa
Ee depot The young man, whose
name is being withheld was question
ed BY Mr.. German and is reported to
have implicated a number of men who
are employees of the express com
pany'a station at the depot.
Officers of the Continental Cream
cry company made complaint to the
officers of the Wells Fargo Express
company and to the officers of the
Santa Fe of the loss of large amount
Of cream and butter fat and caused
the investigation. 1t has been learned
that men employed by the Wells Fargo
company. while unloading the cream
from the passenger trains and deliver
ing it to the creame cry. were in the
habit of removing q part of the con-
tents of the can and appropriating it
to their own use. 1t is known that a
mum Der of men have been doing this,
but have taken but small quantities.
The man who was questioned yester-
day admitted having taken part in the
affair and gave the names of a num-
Der of others who were equally as
guilty. but the officers refuse to give
out information concerning the iden-
tity of any of the persons who are inn
plicated.
The affair has not reached the courts
nor has any person been turned over to
the custody of the city or county officers
but it is likely that arrests of persons
who are implicated warrants for such
will be in the hands Of the city or county
officers within the next day or two.
The city officers have no information
concerning the affair but developments
are expected to become public at any
time.
The Continental Creamery company of
ficials believe that the loss to the COM |
pany has been great within the last few |
weeks 1t is believed that a systematic |
who were acting togetheI~sn carrying out |
this work were selling the cream and but |

EARLY TRIAL FOR REYES
He Probably VIII Be Given the Full
Penalty of the Law.

Mexico City. Dec. est is unlike
~ that General Reyes Will be incar-
cerated on his arrival here He prob
ably Will be placed under a guard in
some building other than the military
prison The case against him will be
disposed Of at an early date and it is
likely that Castelazo Fuentes, the at
torney general, who will be invested
with the rank of general of division,
will be directing member of the court.
Many pleas for Ieniency have been
entered on General Reyes behalf, but
among military men the hope is said
TO exist that the penalty for his crime
will be strictly enforced on the ground
that Reyes has brought ignominy and
discredit to the army.
No demonstration will be permitted
by the authorities on the arrival of
General Reyes here.
No Call for Gomez.
Washington. Dec. 28-The state de-
partment has received no application
from the Mexican government for the
eXtradition Of Emilio Vasquez Gomez

dition treaty between the United States
and Mexico the latter country is auth
orized to direct an application for ex-
tradition to the governor of Texas

states of China to Become Autono-

St. Petersburg, Dec. 2S.+The cere-
mOny of the accession to the throne OF
the Khu Tukhta of Mongolia takes

is an ecclesiastic subordinate to the
Dalai Lama, the head of the religion
of Lamaia a corrupt form of Budda-
ism. and his relation to the Dalai Lama
are about the same as those of car
dinaI to the pope.
In the year 1855 the Khu Tukhta,
who then occupied the office. counsel
ed the Monaghan princes to elect a
Mdnchu emperor to the throne, but
the emperor always bore a special
in Mongolia as mark of Mon
golian autonomy. 1t is only during

golia closer administrative dependence

The Rech, in a significant leading
article this morning, recounts recent
Mongolian events and states that the
election of the Khu Tukhta in Mon
golia means an end Of the dependence
of Mongolia and the Manchu dynasty
