MYSTERY AUTO
TURNS TURTLE
ON BOULE YARD

Spectacular as an accident and mys
terious in many features was another
in the series of automobile affairs ON
North Central avenue last night at
Virginia street. All that can be truth
fully said to be known about the af
fair IS that woman was badly-how
badly is not yet known-injured a big
Studebaker "six" was wrecked, the
driver of the car disappeared and the
third one in the car. if there was a
third one as some say, has also van
ished. The most probable story of the
affair seems to be that in lodging a
vehicle the auto turned completely
over and the driver, hardly conscious
of what he was doing, drove it about
in a big circle leaving it just south
of Virginia street beside the road.
There it was found by the police and
some of those living near the scene
state that it overturned quite a dis
tance north on Central avenue.
The first intimation the police had
of the affair came last night about
s: 80 o'clock when a hurry up call was
sent to headquarters, saying there had
been an accident on North Central,
and that a girl had been killed. DR..
Dysart had been called in the mean
time.
Policeman Stewart went to the scene
of the accident. 1t was learned that
the girl had been carried into the
Phoenix Sanitarium. Inquiry there
elected the information that she had
been taken to the Sisters hospital.
Earl Wish. who operates a stage line
between here and Buckeye, arrived on
the scene of the accident, and stated
that the car belonged to a man named
Jesse Dandy and himself. He seemed
to think the car had been stolen.
A call was made at the Sisters hos
pital, where it was said the girl had
been brought in there, suffering from
severe cut on the face, and possible
internal injuries. She was attended to
there, and then taken to her room at
the Den rooming house, over the Ber-
ryhill company.
The landlady of the Den was dis

government and those who, refusing to
obey orders, had mutinied ~

lice at the end of ST. Catharin canal.
imediately in front of the historic
church built over the spot where Alex
ander II. was killed by a bomb. The
police finally fled to roof tops all over
the city and were seen no more in the
streets during the entire term of the
fighting.
Still, on Monday morning the gov
ernment troops appeared to control all
/ the principal squares of the city. Then
came a period when it was impossible
to distinguish one side from the other.
There was no definite line between the
factions. The turning point appeared to
come about O'Clock in the afternoon.
For two hours the opposing regiments
| confronted each other along the wide
Liteiny prospect in almost complete
/ silence.
| From time to time embassies from
! the revolutionary side rode to the op-
posing ranks and exhorted them to join
| the side of the people. For a while tho
! result seemed to hang in the balance
! The troops appeared irresolute, await
ing the commands of their officers,
! who themselves were in doubt as to
what shey should do.
| Desultory firing continued along
! the side streets between groups Of
| government troops and reyolutionists,
but the regiments apon whose decis-
! ion the outcome rested still confront
/ ed each other with machine guns ana
rifles in readiness.

silent suspense, and the government
regiments finally marched over to
JON the revoutienists. A few hours
after the first clash this entire sec
ton of Petrograd, in which are To-
Gated the duma. building, artillery
headcuarters and the chief military
headquarters, passed INTO the hands
of the revolutionary forces ard the
warfare swept like a tornado to other
parts of the city, where the scene
was duplicated.
At first it seemed a miracle that
the revolutionists. without pre-ar-
r@nged plan, without leadership or
org nization, could in such a short
time with comparative ease achieve
Il complete victory over the govern
Int. But the explana ton lay in the
re 1ctance of the troops to take sides

7 nc scenes in the streets were by
this time remarkable The wide
thcroIghfares where the troops We're
stationed were completely deserted by
civilians. except for daring individ-
uais who. creeping along walls and
ducking into courtVards sped from,
one side to the other But the sid,
streets were choked with people.
Groups of students, easily distin-
guished by their blue caps and dark
un1orms, fell into step with rough
units of rebel soldiers and were
joined by other heterogeneous elements
united fer the time being by a cause
greater than partisan differences. I'm
kempt workingmen, with ragged sheep
skin coats covering the conventional
peasants costumes of dark blouse
ard top boots, strobe side by side
with well groomed city clerks and
shop keepers.
This strange army of people, mus
tered on the street corners shouldered
their newly acquired rifles and
marched out to join the ranks of ths
deserting regiments.
Small District Resisting
At nightfall only one small district
of the city, containing the war office.

bROTHERHOODS

NEW YORK, March 15-The broth
erhoods' side of the controversy was
made public in a statement signed by
the four brotherhood chiefs, w G..
Lee. for the trainmen; w. S Carter for
the firemen; L. S. Sheppard for the
conductors. and w. S. Stone for the
engineers.
1--WE presented a proposition to place
the Adamson eight-hour law into effect
along the lines suggested by President
Wilson last August, which was that IN
all road service except passenger,
where schedules now read: 100 miles
or less. nine or ten hours or less; over
time at ten or eleven miles per hour,
insert eight hours or less for a basic
day and 121a miles per hour for speed
basis for the purpose of computing
overtime. Overtime to be paid for at
not less than one-eighth of the daily
rate per hour In all yard, switching
and hosting service, where schedules
now read 10, II or II hours or less
shall constitute a days work, insert
eight hours or less shall constitute a
days work Overtime to be paid for at
not less than one-eighth of the daily
rate per hour In passenger service the
present mileage basis will be main
tained provided that the basic passen-
ger day will not be in excess of eight
consecutive hours. Overtime to be paid
for at not less than one-eighth of the
daily rate per hour.
''1'he conference committee of the
railways took our proposition under
consideration and at the afternoon
meeting notified us that they could not
accept it and submitted in lieu the fol-
lowing:
IF the supreme court holds the law
to be constitutional and the two sides
cannot agree upon the application of
any of the points, we will agree that
the eight hour commission shall deter
mine how the law shall be applied.
"In case the law is declared uncon-
stitutional, we offer to join you in ask
ing the eight-hour commission to de-
termine the whole controversy Any
settlement arrived at to be effective
from January /, 1917.
Managers Won't Negotiate
1T will be noted that in any even
tuality, the managers comittee have
declined to negotiate any settlement OF
the eight-hour day; that is if the law
is held constitutional, they will not

Rodzianko LEADING Fiqure

The president of the duma, Michael
V RodZianko, was the leading figure
among the deputies who unanimously
decided to oppose the imperial order
for a dissolution of the house. They
continued their session and Mr.. Rod
zianko informed the emperor, then at
the front that the hour had struck
when the will of the people must pre-
vail. Even the imperial council realized
the gravity of the situation and added
it's appeal to that of the duma that the
emperor should take steps to give the
people a policy and government in ac-
cordance with their desires and in or
der that there should he no interference
with carrying on the war to a victo
riOus ending,
The emperor FASTENED back from the
front only to find that the revolution
had been successful and that new
government was in control. The en-
press who. it is alleged. has been in
fluential in the councils opposed to
the wishes of the people, is reported
to have fled or to be in hiding
Although considerable fighting took
place. it is not believed the casualties
are large
The early period of the uprising bore
the character rather of a mock revo-
luton staged for an immense audience.
Cossacks charging down the street did
so in a half hearted fashion, plainly
without malice or intent to harm the
crowds that they playfully dispersed.
The troops exchanged good natured
railleries with the workingmen and
women and as they rode were cheered
by the populace.
Long lines of soldiers stationed in
dramatic attitudes across NevsIy Pros
pect with their guns pointed at an
imaginary foe, appeared to be taking
part in a realistic tableau. Machine
guns firing blank cartridges seemed to
add another realistic touch to a ire
mendous theatrial production, which
was using the whole city as ste ge.
Until Sunday night this pageant
! continued without serious interruption.
Then in flash the whole scene lost
its theatric quality; it became a genu-
inc revolution.
Troops Resent Orders
The regiments had received an order
from the commandant to fire upon per-
sons assembled in the street. This
caused immediate dissension among
the troops who did not understand why
they should be compelled to take violent
measures against fellow citizens, whose
chief offense was that they were hun
, CRY and were asking the government
to supply bread. Several regiments de-
serted and a pitched battle began be-

General Embargo On Freight
Most Likely Because OF Strike

considered the situation briefly but de-
cided to defer action until tomorrow
1t was indicated that the commission
might simply suggest embargoes, rath
er than call upon the roads formally
TO impose them. The commission is
vested with plenary powers by virtu-
ally every road in the United States
with reference to meeting the situation
caused by the car shortage but there
is some doubt as to whether its pow
ers extend beyond affairs relating to
this situation.
Should a general freight embargo be
deemed advisable, it was said tonight
that action could be taken by the
roads within few hours and that
possibly before sundown tomorrow all
roads in the country would refuse to
accept freight of any kind,

Food And Fuel
Will Be MOued
For Several Days


NEW YORK, March 15.-The broth
erhood heads stated that the strike
call had been so arranged that the
movement of food and fuel supplies
into this city would not be stopped
for several days after the beginning of
the strike on certain eastern roads.
The brotherhood chiefs announced
that a vice president of each organiza-
ton would remain in this city to take
charge of the strike on eastern lines.
They refused to divulge their plans in
detail Everything is in readiness to
carry their program into effect. how
ever.
The organizations will expedite as
far as possible, it is understood, the
movement of food and fuel on various
roads until the men are called out.
Brotherhood chiefs tonight refused to
grant interviews and went into seclu-
sion.
The railroad managers remained in
| conference until nearly IL o'clock. They
refused to make any intimation as to
| whether an effort would be made te
employ strike breakers.

time ago caused a census of their
employees to be taken to determine how
many would refuse 20 go on strike.
This resulted. it was said. in varying
percentages, ranging from very few
on some roads to n from fifty to sixty
per cent on others.
The managers estimated that be-

pioycd on the roads on which the

SAYS PRoTOPOPoFF AND
BORIS STURMER MURDERED

STOCKHOLM. (via London),
March 15.-Passengers arriving
at Haparanda, Sweden, with to-
days hospital train, reported that
two men of prominence in Petro-
grad had been murdered. One was
said to have been Alexander D.
Protopopoff, minister of the inter-
ior, and the other was believed to
be Boris Sturmer, former premier.
The old Russian government. 1t is
alleged, tried to bring troops to
Petrograd from Finland to save the
situation but the troops refused to
so. Helsingfors is declared to be
in a state of siege.
