committee of the duma in conjunction
with the deputies and representatives
OF the workingmen and soldiers which
held an all night session.
Prof. Paul Milukoff, the new foreign
minister, informed The Associated
Press that the new regime was de-
termined upon the elimination of
Emperor Nicholas and the regency Of
Grand Duke Michael.
I'VE shall not change these de-
mands," he said. 1--WE shall have this
or fall. We can accept nothing less"
The new cabinet contains men who
led in the struggle against the old
of the country. Professor Milukon
and M. Shingaroff, the new minister
of agriculture, have become especial
ly prominent as champions Of the
rights Of the people. 1t Is due to Pro-
fessor Milukoff that revelations re-
garding the political intrigues and
corruption of the old reactionary gov
eminent were brought before the pub
lie,
While the duma and the working
mems committee agreed upon the
cabinet they still remain somewhat at
odds regarding the form the new gov
eminent shall assume. The working
mems deputies wish to leave this
question undecided until after the
holding Of a constitutional assembly
which will be charged With revising
the present constitution, DESIRING to
call this assembly without delay. The
duma group, fearing dangers to the
country in the absence of definite
government, suggested abdication Of
the emperor and the regency of Grand
Duke Michael. This will be the tenn
porary arrangement pending the de-
cision of the constitutional assembly.
The following additional cabinet ap-
pointments have been made:
Ministers of trade and commerce, A.

Blanche Sweet, the popular Lasky
star, who will be seen at the Garrick
today and tomorrow in the Jesse L.
Lasky production, The Evil Eye, now
feels that she could qualify as a medi-
cal practitioner.
During the taking Of the scenes for
this production, Miss Sweet was I'M
der the tuition OF the Lasky company
doctor who presides over the spotless
little hospital on the studio grounds to
take care Of any member of that vast
organization who suffers even a minor
accident. The doctor became so in
terested in the instruction of his pu-
Dill that he brought forth numerous
books and magazines for Miss Sweet
to study, and even went so far as to
borrow a skeleton from a neighboring
hospital so that the fair star could be-
come familiar with the human frame
work.
While waiting for a scene, Miss
Sweet and the doctor were engaged in
such learned discussions on medicine
that all the other members of her
company regarded the star with sus-
picion for fear that she would try some
of her recently discovered theories on
them.
