ELECTION TO BE HELD
AT VERY EARLY DATE
Constantine's Dissolution Of
Legislative Body on Issue De-
clared by Former Premier
Unlawful, Issue Settled

London, Nov. IL. King Con-
stantine finally has thrown
down the gauntlet to the Greek
war party. Athens dispatches
today announced his dissolu-
ton of parliament. An election
had been set for December, but
what led up to His Majesty's
action was apparent.
When NJ. Skouloudis, the new
premier, took Office he began
negotiations with ex-Premier
Venizelos, war leader in parlia-
ment, to induce the pro-war
group at least to tolerate his
ministry. Venizelos evidently
refused.
In dissolving parliament for
Ia fresh referendum on the war
question, Constantine did what
Venizelos declared he had no
right to do, the question having
been settled in Venizelos' opin-
lion in favor of war six months
|ago.
Constantine named an cleo
ton date much earlier than ex-
pected. The impression was he
would try to delay it until the
present acute Balkan situation
was past.

BOMB WRECKS
 CUDAHY PLANT Loss Is Reported At $750, ,000. .00-Ger. mans or Austrians Believed To
 Have Done Job.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, April 12.-The big Cudahy packing plant at this place was dynamited last night and suffered loss of 3750,0oo.00. It is believed that the bombs were placed by German or Austrian sympathizers because of the large amount of food supplies which is being sent from the plant to the British and French field armies.
 The plant was wrecked. The ex- plosion fortunately happened when only few watchmen were in the buildings. The police are searching for the men seen about the struc. lures during the afternoon.
 The fire department was on the scene promptly and extinguished the flames, which were started by the explosion, and also searched for the watchmen, none of whom, however, were killed. The police reserves were called to keep the crowds back.

The commander of the boat in. sists that he will not intern his ship but will coal and make repairs and will then go to sea, as he is conf- dent that he can elude the British cruisers on the way out, as he did coming in.
 American naval officials, however, believe that the boat will intern. The same measures of precaution to protect the neutrality of the United States as were taken when the Prinz Eitel Friedrich was in the harbor and expected to run the blockade are now being taken by the authorities and several coast guard ships are on duty besides which the Navy Depart ment is rushing the Alabama back to this port as she is faster and larger than any of the British boats on duty out side of the port.

Jim Hill Liner Wrecked Of Coast of Japan-sister Ship Lost Two
 Two Years Ago.

KOBE, Japan, April 12.-The big American liner Minnesota, operated by Jim Hill and the Great Northern railroad, was wrecked at 9:30 last night on the rocks in the Japan sea. The steamer was bound to Seattle
 ''h a million dollar cargo and had large number of passengers aboard. The passengers and crew have been taken off the boat and landed while several steamers are rushing to the scene of the accident to render such aid as may be needed.
 The reports reaching here do not indicate how bad the boat is injured but the fact that the passengers and crew have been landed indicates that the boat is in a dangerous position and the captain feared to keep them aboard.
 The sister ship of the Minnesota, the Dakota, was wrecked several years ago and the boat was footed by pirates and was later broken up by storms. The Minnesota and Dakota were the largest American ships on the Pacific and were the only Amer. ican ships competing for Oriental bus mess against the Japanese and Eng. fish.

Colorado Politicians Have Passed Bill Removing Him, But Governor
 May Veto 1t.

DENVER, Colo, April 12.-The Colorado senate today passed the bill to abolish the position now being held by Judge Lindsey as presiding officer of the Juvenile Court of this city. The bill has already passed the house and is up to the governor. who. however, is expected to veto the measure. because it Is directed to- wards an efficient officer who has been fighting graft and police cor ruption.
 The effort to force Judge Lindsey from the bench has been under way for more than two years but to date the politicians have failed to secure his scalp. It is doubted if the bill can be passed over the veto of the governor.
