Stampeded by q sudden sally from
cohorts Of liquor and overawed by
insistent demands from the president
of the State Federation Of Labor. AS
sem mblyman Arthur A. Quinn. who has
a powerful influence in local labor cir
cies, the Central Labor Union in ses-
sion Thursday ersed its ac-
tton of two weeks ago and by vote
OF twelve to eight, adopted a resolu-
tion placing the central body on rec
ord as opposing prohibition In any
form. The officers of the organization
tried to keep the action quiet, as one
stated this morning 1t made joke
of the central body" However, the
matter was spread generally aboL.
the city late yesterday by those op-
posed to prohibition, who considered
1t victory. On March IL the a.
trail Labor UniCn went on record as
favoring the Gaunt local option meas
ure. which was then pending In the
house. The vote stood fifteen to ten.
The vote Thursday night reversing

Russians Suffer Reverse.

Special bD UHued Press Ware.
London March 27:--A Russian army
at the extreme end of the Austrian bat
tie line has suffered a reverse according
to reports received today. While two
Slav armies have pressed forward sue
cessfully to invade Hungary, third
Russian army has been beaten back
from the Bukowina capital Of Czerno-
WITT and driven several miles north of
the Pruth river. While advices from
neutral sources do not confirm this, a
Bucharest report received from Rome
indicate that the Russians have been
compelled to evacuate Sadagora. A
Bucharest dispatch said that the Aus
trian garrison by quick march threw
superior force against the Russian in
vaders who originally crossed the Pruth
on pontoon bridges and drove them back
across the river. They then crossed the
river themselves and took up position
on the north bank. Other Austrian
forces crossed the Pruth river north of
Czernowitz.
In the Carpathians desperate fighting
is reported. The Russians have seized
] upkow and are now engaged in a strug-
gle for the railway leading southwark
into Hungary.

requested to state his views
the pssfk question today. Mayor
Garretson said:
Summed up, the statements Of
aldermen recently published seemed
to say, I am In favor of parks. but
and following the but comes an em-
phatic part of the statement. My
position does not differ materially
from theirs. In my case the but Is
somewhat along the line suggested
by Aldermen Kelly and Wilson We
all favor parks. Every move the
governing body makes for improve
ment requires financing and there's
the rub" Lest year the city added
about $500 900 to the bonded indebt-
edness, and doubtless would have
added more had not the bond market
collapsed This year we have to con-
slider the following Addition to
high school and school No. 8. $780,
600; municipal light plant, 81 10000;
street improvement bonds to take up
temporary six per cent. notes issued
last year for paving, s100,000;
street paving now under way New
Brunswick avenue), $50 600. sewer
bonds. $4,000: fire equipment bonds
$4,000: isolation hospital. s20.00o:
total, $504,000, together with some
smaller items.
Next year there will be $270.0o0
in bonds maturing that must be taken
care Of beside new work. The De-
cember budget was considered large,
but some items left out of that will
probably appear in the June budget.
My single-track mind needs the assist
ance of public opinion to decide how
heavily we shall add to the bonded
debt this year and what projects
shall be advanced or laid over.
think most of the aldermen are in
the same boat They are pressed
from every side for improvements,
(all of them desirable). and when
the totals are ascertained. they feel
that somebody must be denied.

Honolulu, March 27:--The dredge
California arrived from Pearl Harbor
naval station today and the actual
work of raising submarine F-4 has
begun. The California's powerboat,
derrick and crane are expected to
bring the submerged vessel to the
surface before night. Some naval
officials still hold faint hope that
some of the twenty-one men entomb-
ed may yet be rescued alive. A feet
of vessels, including the submarine
fiotilla, are in the immediate vicinity
ready to render every assistance.
Quantities of oil which came to the
surface when the wrecking vessels
found and attempted to tow the ves-

which she sank is now accepted as
the direct cause of the disaster.

Park Sites Here.

81 think the time has come when
some definite move should be made
Tor parks" said Mayor Ferd Garrett
son today, but he concluded that the
financial condition of the city would
not permit more than modest be-
ginning. Stating as to how the city
was In debt and had sums either due
or coming due to the aggregate of
more than half a million dollars. the
executive contended that the city
should utilize the property now at
hand for park purposes. He would
not favor the expenditure of any
large amount of money for parks at
this time and indicated In his state
ments that he would fight to keep
the city out of the same position San
Francisco Is In, |. e., to be prevented
by law to sell bonds to sa wings insti-
tutions. Alderman John Kutcher,
representing the fourth ward in the
Board of Aldermen, declared today
that the city should have parking
space. He declared that the time
was at hand when space should be
allotted for people to go and spend
summer afternoons and evenings, Mr..
Kutcher has repeatedly voiced him
self as favoring the establishment OF
parks in this city and has shown
