Will Not File the
Recall Petitions
Until February IS

the city the petitions are returned and
the circulators are given another
chance to secure additional names to
make up the deficiency.
II the present recall petitions being
circulated are filed with the city audi
tor on Feb. Is as 1t is the intention to
do there will be just ~ days before
the city election. Should the city audi
tor take the full ten days to look Owe
the petitions. the documents would
probably be brought before the COM
missioners at the regular Wednesday
meeting on Feb. 20. If it does not take
that long to verify the signatures the
petitions might be presented on Feb.
21. In either case the time to the city
election would be more than 80 days
and less than 40 and the commissions
ers would set the recall election at the
same time as the general election when
three other commissioners are to be
chosen by the people OF the city.
May Withdraw From Petition.
While the law does not so specify IL
is the opinion Of lawyers of the city
that any person may withdraw from
recall petition either by getting the
petition and scratching out his name
or by addressing a signed communities
ton to the city auditor. It Is believed
by attorneys that either means would
constitute a withdrawal as in the
case Of other petitions.
1t is understood that some who
signed the petitions when they were
first put out now desire to take their
names off but many do not know the
exact method of accomplishing this.
However, If there are over 700 signers
TO the petitions it does not seem pos
sible that there will be enough with
-drawals to affect the legality of the
petitions and there is every reason TO
believe that recall election will be
held at the time Of the city election
of April 3.

told.
The work of the assembly from now
on will be mighty rapid, If the legis-
lature is to clean up its work in good
shape. This is the fortieth day of the
assembly, and there remains just Is
more working days-there being three
Sundays and two holidays before the
time of adjournment-March 2.
1t is expected that by the end Of
next week the appropriation measures
will be pretty well under way. The
committees of the two houses have
been working diligently for several
days past, and the report Of the bud
get commission has proved a big aid
in handling the problem.
So far as the work Of the assembly
is concerned, it bids fair to be largely
routine III its nature. Several import
ant measures however. remain to be
disposed Of, these including the pro-
posed freight rate control acts. One
in the house has been sponsored by
Representative Dupuis, and proposed
a reduction OF about 90 per cent in the
present rates In the senate, Senator
Nelson OF Richland county has intro
duced the eastman act, which Is the
Minnesota distance tariff bin.

To a Head
(Ry Associated Press


Havana, Feb. 10.-Aurelio Hevia,
secretary of the interior, notified the
civil and military authorities today
that he had received advices of a plot
against the government involving civil
and military officials. 1t is reported
that one or more army officers have
been arrested.
A serious political crisis has existed
in Cubt since the presidential election
last November. President Menocal
was opposed for reelection by DR..
Alfredo Zayas, leader of the Liberal
party, and on account of contests in
the provinces of Santa Clara and
Oriente, the issue of the election is
still in DOUBT. A couple Of weeks ago
a decision of the Cuban supreme court
threw Santa Clara into DR.. Zayas'
column and apparently assured his
victory. This decision was bitterly
resented by followers OF President
Menocal.

l2 German Ships Ready

Washington, May 13.-Twelve of the seized German vessels ful
 ly repaired. will be ready at the end of this week to be pressed into the trans Atlantic service to carry supplies of all kinds to the allies. Shipping experts of the government, supervising the task of repairing the damage wrought by German crews, were confident tonight that the wor k is progressing so satisfac torily that several score of these ships will be made ready for service within the next month or two. The shipping board estimates that within 19 days all the 600,- GOO, German tonnage and 18,000 Austrian tonnage will be in use.
