REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA
WOMEN DEFEND PALACE
Russian Amazons Forced to Surrender Executive Building
After Four Hours BOmbardment by Forts
and Warship--- Kerensky Escapes
LENINE In FULL POWER AT CAPITAL
Arch Potter Arrests Minister Revokes Death Penalty
and Gives Orders to Find and Bring in
the Fugitive Premier. Nss~

The Russian provisional govern
ment has been thrown out Of power
by the extreme radicals headed by
Nikolai Lenine.
Premier Kerensky has fled the cap
ital.
Several of his ministers have been
placed under arrest.
The winter palace, the seat Of the
government, has been bombarded by
the guns of the cruiser Aurora and of
st. Peter and st. Paul fortress and
forced to capitulate to the revolution
lists. II was defended under fire by
woman battalion for four hours.
The congress of workmen's and
soldiers delegates Of all Russia has
convened in Petrograd and will dis
cuss the questions of organization Of
power, peace and war and the forma-
ton of a constituent assembly. A
delegation has been named by the
congress to confer with other revolu-
tionary and democratic organizations
with view to initiating peace nego-
tiations for the purpose of taking steps
to stop bloodshed.
AS yet the details of the disorders
which followed the assumption Of
power by the radical element are
meager.
Reports of to the whereabouts of
Kerensky are various.> Some of them
say that he has sought safety in Mos
COW, while others assert that he has
gone to the front in an effort to Obtain
the backing of the troops to forestall
a debacle OF his government. Cossack
regiments are declared already to
have announced their readiness whole
heartedly to support the government
on conditions that no compromise
with the revolutionists is made, but
on the other hand it is asserted that
delegates from the Black and Baltic
sea fleets have declared themselves
in favor of the radicals.

Larger Units Of Army Retir-
ing Safely to their Next
Line of..Defense.
ALLIES AID MUCH NEEDED
Large Reinforcements at this
Moment is Cadorna's..
Geatest Hope.

There has been no cessation in the
retreat of the Italians across tn Vene-
tan Plains towards the new line of
defense, on which it is purposed to
stand and face the invading Germans
and Austro-Hungarians. The larger
units of the Italians are falling back
without molestation, according to the
Rome official communication, but con-
siderable fighting has taken place in
the hills of Vittorio and at other points
in the north.
The Berlin war office says that on,
the middle Tagliamento river valley
Italian. tropas who were standing out
against the invaders were captured.
A general and 1900 additional
Italian troops are reported TO have
been captured, bringing the total pris-
oners since the retreat from the Ison-
20 began, to more than $50, 900, ac-
cording to Berlin. II is asserted also
that in excess of $500 guns have fall
en- into the hands of the Teutonie al
lies.
The bulk of the Austro-G German in
vading forces to-day present a main
frontage of about thirty-fve miles
back of and along the Tagliamento
river, with reconnaissance parties
thrust forward west of the river for
the purpose of feeling for the points
OF least resistance. This is producing
detached engagements but no battle
in force has as yet occurred.
The Livenza river to which the
Italian withdrawal is now progress
ing, is only one of series of defense
parallels. Large reinforcements this
moment would render valuable assist
ance, is the opinion of military author
tiles.
Along the line in France and Belgi-
UNI only artillery duels and raiding by
the French and British forces are
taking place.
Additional ground has been gained
by the British troops against the
Turks in Palestine and along the tt
girls river.

Four Battle Cruisers and Six Scout Cruisers to be Built
 in 30 Months.
MORE THAN 100 MORE
 BE ORDERED SOON
Private Builders Agree to Give Up Profitable Merchant Work, and Put Forces on Warships on 10 Per
 Cent Profit Basis.

Washington, March 15.-Contracts for what is believed to be the largest single order for fighting craft ever given by any nation were concluded today by the navy department.
 Private builders undertook to turn out four battle cruisers and six scoat cruisers. costing nearly $112,O00,O00 for hulls and machinery alone an,l pledged themselves to keep 70 per cent of their forces on the navy con- tracts.
 The majority of the shipbuilde:s have agreed to accept 10 per cent net profit on the battle cruisers, whose cost will be about $76,O00,000 A fifth battle cruiser may be built at the Philadelphia navy yard, so ss not to strain the limit of the facilities of the., private shipyards. Although be- sieged with orders for merchant craft on which they might get as high as 50 per cent profit, the builders placed their facilities at the governments disposal, making it unnecessary for the president to consider com- mandeerins the plants.
 New Type of Fast Warships. Both classes of vessels are of new type of naval construction, and are estimated to have speed If about 35 knots per hour. The stipu- lated time of delivery is from 30 to 32 months. The scout cruisers will cost about $45 5,996,00O, but the fig ures can be no guide as to the actual cost, as under the emergency clause of the naval appropriation bill, con- | struction will be hastened to the limit, the government paying the ex- tra cost. For the battle cruisers tho fixed. limit of cost is $19,000.000 per ship, exclusive of the sreeding-up ex- pense.
 Of the authorized building pro- gram there are yet to be contracted for three dreadnaughts, 38 subnha- rines, 15 destroyers and several auxiliary vessels. Bids on these crafts will be opened early next month, and at the same time orders will be placed for nore than 100 coast patrol boats of high speed and 110 feet in length, to insure good sea- going qualities.
 The ultimate cost of the ships or dered today will exceed by many millions the figures given for the hulls and machinery. It will cost $465,692 per ship to arm and equip the scout cruisers, and $5,337, ,810 ad- ditional for each battle cruiser.

TURKS FLEEING: BEFORE ARMIES
 0F RUSSIANS
Slavs Capture Kermanshah After Obstinate Battle of
 Two Days.

Petrograd, March 15, via London.- The Turks are in retreat on the Cau- casian front, pursued by the Rus sians, the war office announces. Kermanshah has been captured.
 The; announcement fellows:
 "In the direction of Sakkiz our troops pressing the retreating Turks are approaching toward Banu.
 "In the direction of Hamadan, aft CT an obstinate battle lasting two days, our troops took possession Of the town of Kermanshah.
 Pursuit of the Turks continues"
 Petrograd has been shut off from the outside world for several days, and the foregoing dispatch is the first word received from that source since the official statement of Monday. The absence of the war office reports for the first time in the war, and even of press dispatches for such period of time, gave rise to considerable speculation as to the situation m Russia, particularly in view of the disturbances in regard to the food shortage, which were in progress in Petrograd at last accounts:

STRIKE GOES INTO
 EFFECT HERE 0N
 MONDAY EVENING

Leaders among the brotherhood men in Pine Bluff stated last night that they had received no word from the national officers, since the form al orders to strike.
 These orders are complete in de- tail. and are to go into effect here and in this section Monday evening, unless otherwise instructed.
 None of the leaders of the men here are willing to discuss the matter of the strike, declaring that the national officers will do all the talking neces- sary. They are confident the strike order will be generally obeyed in this section, as well as throughout the country.

FERGUSON EXONERATED.
Legislative Committee Finds Charges Against Texas Governor Un-

Austin, Texas, March 15.-Gov. James B. Ferguson was exonerated by the report of the Davis legislative committee which investigated im- peachment charges against the gover- nor, and the house adopted a resolu- ton holding that the charges were unworthy of impeachment, and not warranted by the evidence. The re- port criticised the governor on several counts, but calls attention to the fact that his personal indebtedness to the bank has been paid.

desire to wait until the case was de- cided by the supreme court was based on their agreement that they would await and abide by" the decision of the supreme court on the Adamson act They asserted that they were willing to submit the whole contro- versy to the eight-hour commission, if the law is declared tnconstitution- al, and agreed to accept any decree of the commission. Pointing out Q the four chiefs, the grave interna- tional crisis which confronts the country, they appealed to their pa triOtism to prevent a strike at such juncture in national affairs.
 Chiefs Issue Statement.
 The brotherhood chiefs, in form al statement prepared after the final break, expressed indignation at the attitude taken by the railroads, in declaring that "a strike would be un- patriotic"
 "It goes without saying" the state ment declares, "that the railroad en- ployes have been patient and loyal to the interests of the country, and in the event of war have offered their services to the government. It must not be overlooked that during th's period, when the railroads have per- sistently denied their employees th9t which was intended by the president in his proposition, ard that which was intended by orgress in the Adamson law, the railroads during the years period show net earnings of over $1,O0O,O00,000, while the en- ,,10 vuit i,1nr sv1 xryQc have suffered an increase in the cost of living equal to more than 40 per cent.
 "If, after more than a year, we have failed to secure some relief and the train and engine men coa- clude to fold their hands and starve in reality, rather than by degrees should they be considered as disloyal to the flag?"
 No Bluff About Strike. ] w. G. Lee was informed tonight o the statement from Washington tha' i President Wilson would do every thing in his power to avert strike and probably would appeal to tn, patriotism of the men themselves. H; was asked what effect this would have.
 "Why do you ask me that?" he de manded. "We have heard nothini from the president Of the Unite States. When we do hear, we vii take up that request"
 Warren s. Stone, asked the sam question, said, "It would be consid cred" He added, howey CT, that ther' was "no bluff" about tEe strike.
 New York Fears Famine.
 Joseph Hartigan, commissioner o weights and measures, appeared jus before the conference ended an: urged that in the event of strike both sides undertake to guarantee
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-03-16

No formal outline of the brother hoods program beyond the plans for these two days was made today, either to the managers or to the pu!'- lie. It was said, however, that the freight employees on other railroads of the country would be called out in groups at 12 and "A hour intervals, after Sunday.
 If the paralysis of freight traffic does not result in the surrender of employees on all passenger trains will be ordered out Wednesday.
 Managers Complete Plans.
 The railroad managers said tonight that they expected enough of their employees will remain loyal to enable them to operate a skeleton service on most roads. The managers some time ago caused census of their employees to be taken, to determine how many of the men would refuse to go out on strike. This resulted, it is said. in varying percentages, ranging from very few on some roads to from 50 to 60 per cent on others The managers estimate that between 3O,OO0 and 10000 men arc employed on the roads on which the strike will begin Saturday night. The members N the managers committee will remain here until to- morrow. If the men ask another con- announced the managers would make l every effort to operate their roads 'n spite of the strike, and that prefer ence will be given to the movement of trains with fuel and foodstuffs. Tired of Arbitration. When the managers, in their cOun- l ter proposition, at the final moment of the conference, offered to abide by any decree of the GOethals commits sion, if the AdamsOn act is declared unconstitutional, w. G Lee, presi- dent of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, spokesman for the em- ployes, declared:
 "That would be only another form of arbitration, and our men are sick and tired of arbitration"
 The brotherhood chiefs contend their demands for the basic eight. hour day does all classes of work with pro rata time for overtime would give them only what they would gain under the provisions .1 the Adamson law. They have aban doned their original demands fol 1 time and a half for overtime. | was declared the rank and file O the brotherhood membership had be come impatient and would tolerate nt further delay in enforcing their de mands.
 MT. Lee said the supreme cour might adjourn without handing dowi a decision on the AdamsOn act. Il that event, he declared there woui' be no decision until next winter, an' the men would not watt
