Art Walker IN Town.

Art Walker. enforcement officer
and conso rvationist for the corpora
tion commission. was in the city yes
terday and had many interesting
stories to relate as to hts experience
since assuming his new position. He
says so many complaints that are abb
solutely trivial are being filed as to
make II necessary for the corporation
commission to throw out many of
them before even a hearing Is had.
The above shows the disposition OF
complainants. according to Mr.
Walker. and he has also arrived at an
ether conclusion. to-wit that the gas
companies should pay more for gas
and that IL the price were three times
what IL is now the oil producers would
gladly save that valuable product.
MIR. Walker is certainly to he CON
graduated on taking the view he now
holds. While here he conferred with
his two official pluEgcrs and received
much valuable advice.

MANIFESTO ANNOUNCING
ABDICATION OF THRONE

Petrograd, March 17.-(Via Lon
dom. The following is the text of
the imperial manifesto in which the
Russian Emperor announced his ab-
dication and that of his son:
I'VE, Nicholas II, by the grace OF
God, Emperor of all the Russlas,
Czar of Poland, and Grand Duke OF
Finland, etc., make known to all OF
our faithful subjects. In the day OF
the great struggle against foreign
foe who has been striving for three
years to enslave our country, GOD
has wished to send Russia a new and
painful trial. Interior troubles threat
en- to have fatal repercussion on the
final outcome of the war. The des-
TIMES of Russia and the honor Of our
dear fatherland require that the war
be prosecuted at all cost to victor
ious end. The cruel enemy is max
ing llis last effort and the moment is
near when our valiant army, in con,
cert with those of our glorious allies
will definitely chastise the foe.
"In these decisive days in the life
of Russia we believe our people
should have the closest union and or
ganization Of all their forces for the
realization of speedy victory. For
this reason, in accord with the Duma
Of the Empire. we have considered 1t
desirable to abdicate the throne OF
Russia and lay aside our supreme
power. Not wishing to be separated
from our love in the son. We leave
our heritage to our brother, the Grand
Duke Michael Alexandroyitch, bless
ing his. advent to the throne Of Rus
STA. We hand over the government
TO our brother in full union with the
of the nation who are
seated in the executive chambers,
taking this step with an invioable
oath in the name of our we'll beloy-
ed country. we call on all faithful
sons of the fatherland to fulfill thetl
sacred patriotic duty in this painful
Of national trial and to aid
our brother and the representative,
Of the nation in bringing Russia into
the path OF prosperity and glory
May God aid Russia"

RUSSIAN RULERS =
PURELY RUSSIAN
washington Deeply Interested In
Problems Arising Out OF Slav
Revolt,

iTashington, March 16.-All doubt
hat the successful revolution in Rus
&sia is both liberal and anti-German
I movement was swept from the minds
of officials here today by the receipt
hot further unofficial details OF the up
HSeaval. The personnel Of the revolu-
tionary committee in charge of the
new government was declared to
show that the controlling figures were
not only liberal minded but efficient
men, most of them known to favor
vigorous prosecution of the war.
one official said that the committee
represented the most capable faction
of the purely Russian party. Both
the state department and the Rus
sian embassy here professed TO- be
without official information about the
most recent developments.
The department is deeply concern
ed over events in Russia because OF
lthe effect they may have upon the
war and the country's foreign poll
cies. questions which concern the
United States vitality in the situation
now existing.
While press dispatches indicate
that good order prevails in Russia,
two disquieting possibilities are ap-
parent to students Of Russia here.
The first is that the deposed auto
cratic pro-German party may attempt
a counterrevolution possibly aided by
Ane czar, which might be sufficient to
handicap if not to paralyze Russia's
7)k bar efforts. The second, less Sc
|B Gus but more probable danger, is
stated to lie in the arrangement of
the general military situation. For
some days there is certain to be
general hesitancy on the various
fronts and confusion Of commands
3nd orders. The present season Is
not propitious for German advance,
but it is believed that any consid-
erable Russian demoralization would
lead to the withdrawal of heavy
forces to the French front
The uncertainty about the actual
abdication Of the car offers some
hope here that the constitutional and
religious head Of Russia will consent
to recognize and accept the new gov
ernment. Not only would that re-
more a large part Of the fear as to
a counterrevolution, but it would also
keep from the regency the Grand
Duke Michael Alexandrovitch who is
not so highly regarded In official and
diplomatic circles here as are the rev.
olutionary leaders.
