BERLIN REPORTS
RUSS REVOLUTION
Committee. of Duma, Backed
by Garrison and Citizens,
Takes Charge of the
Government. 49,.
QUOTES NEW MANIFESTO

Berlin, March 1s.-(By Wireless tC
Sayville. )--There has been success
full revolution in Russia, according tc
the Overseas News agency, (thc off
cial German news buream.
The following statement was giver
out today by the news agency:
"The following report was issued
in Petrograd on March IA about The
successful Russian revolution: The
population of Petrograd, incensed by
the complete disorganization of trans.
port services and of alimentation. had
been irrtated for long time against
the government and had become rest
less. The population held the govern
ment responsible for all it sufferings
The government, expecting trouble
took measures on a large scale in
order to maintain order, and among
other things ordered dissolution OF
the council Of the empire and the
Duma.
Appeal Of New Government.
"'1he Duma, however, on March
II decided not to accept The imperial
ukase, but to continue its meetings..
The Duma Immediately instituted all
executive committee, presided over by
NJ. Rodzianko, president Of the Duma.
That committee declared itself to be
a provisional government and issued
the following appeal:
""Considering the difficulties in re-
gard to domestic tranquility which
are due to the policy of the former
government, the executive committee
Of the Duma feels compelled to take
public order in its own hands. Fully
conscious OF the responsibility arising
from this decision, the committee ex-
presses the certainty that the popula-
ton and the army will lend their as
sistance for the difficult task Of Great
ing new government, which will ac-
cept the wishes of the people and
enjoy their confidence
Cabinet Ministers in Jail.
"The exc .utive committee rested
itself upon the population OF the cap
ital, which was in full revolution, and
upon the army, completely united
with the revolutionists. 1t arrested
all the ministers and sent them to
Jail. The Duma declared that the
ministerial cabinet no longer existed.
To-day, on the third day of the
revolution, the capital, where order
is returning swiftly, is completely in
the hands OF the executive committee
OF the Duma and OF the troops which
garrisoned Petrograd and numbered
more than 10000, which troops sup
port the revolution. Deputy Engel-
hard, colonel on the great general
staff, has been appointed commander
of Petrograd by the committee.
Yesterday evening the committee
issued proclamations to the troops,
railroads and banks asking them to
resume their usual activities, Deputy
Gronski was chosen by the Duma
committee for provisional manage
ment of the Petrograd telegraphc
agency. tThis probably refers to the
semi-ofticial Russian news agencyD"

switchmen's committee in the yards
of the St. Louis Terminal Railroad
association and in the Merchants
Bridge and Wiggins Ferry yards.
The strike will extend on Sunday
afternoon to the following roads:
Group of Northwestern roads, South
ern Railway, Norfolk & Western, Vir-
ginian, and Chesapeake & Ohio. The
time when the walkout will extend to
the other lines was uncertain. it was
said, but the men will be called out in
groups every twelve or twenty-four
| hours.
President Notified.
Washington, March 15.-President
Wilson was notified Immediately of
the calling Of the strike and he began
! consideration OF the. steps which
might be taken to avert it.
Wilson Will Appeal.
The general belief in official circles
is that the president will make an ap-
peal to the patriotism Of the men,
urging them not to tie up transpor-
tation facilities with the country fac
ing a great international crisis.
There was every indication that the
president would not call the represen-
tatives of the two sides to Washing
ton again as he did last year when
the strike was threatened.
Although the president has been
watching the siaution closely, he had
not abandoned hope that a compro-
mise would be reached, and so far as
revealed had made no definite plans
for intervening
No statement was Forthcoming
from the White House, but it was
well understood that some move
would be made as soon as officials
were fully advised.
1t is a moot question what steps
the government could take to pre-
vent paralysis of transportation facili-
ties and consequent weakening of the
nations resources in the international
crisis. The general opinion among
officials seems to be that the presi-
dent could do little beyond appealing
to the patriotism of both sides. A
provision to empower him to take
over the roads in an emergency was
among the administration recommen-
dations for railway legislation which
failed at the last session of congress.
New Haven Men First.
New Haven, Conn, March l5.-Thc
brotherhood men employed in the
freight service OF the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad will be
called out first under the strike or
ders received here, it is learned.

time, on the New Haven's lines. Milk
trains will be excepted. II by Thurs
day night, March p, there is no
change in the situation. men in the
passenger service will then be called
OUT.
Ultimatum of Unions
brotherhoods during an hours joint
conference at noon today presented
to the national conference committee
of the railroad managers their ulti-
matum calling, it was understood, for
the immediate granting OF the eight
hour day and pro rata pay for over
time, with strike as an alternative
The managers. after listening to
the arguments OF the brotherhood eX-

here this afternoon by one in a posi-.
ton to know that the brotherhoods
compromise proposition calls for an
