 PETROGRAD. Sunday, Jan. ao.- After an all night session the central executive committee early this morn ing promulgated decree abolishlns the constituent assembly.
 It has killed itself the committee announced, by opposing the wishes of the laboring masses represented by the Bolsheviki members.
 Nikolai Lenine, the Bolsheviki pre- mier. was the chief speaker before the committee and was greeted with tu- mtiltous cheering. He said:
 "A conflict between the workmen's and soldiers government and the con- stituent assembly has been growing since the Russian revolution. The February revolution was a political bourgeoise revolution, in which the constitutional democrats scored suc- cess, overthrowing czarism. In Octo- Der a social revolution occurred and the working masses, through the workmen's and soldiers delegates be- came the sovereign authority.
 By creating the workmen's and sol- diers' delegates, the Russian prole- tariat brought something new into the revolution. There is no equal in the history of revolutions in western Europe, except the Paris commune The workmen's and soldiers delegates are not bound by any rules or tradi- tions to the oh bourgeoise society The government had taken all the powers and rights into it's own hands The constituent assembly is tho high. est expression Of the political ideals oi boUrgeoise society, which are no long.

q hope every American soldier sent to France is killed"
 This remark, alleged by the police to have been made in the presence of from twelve to fifteen guests of the Phoenix hotel, congregated in the lobby of that hostlery last evening, led to the arrest of George Thompson and his incarceration in the city jail late last night Opposite his name on the police register appears the notations, T. w. w. Investigation. Uttering re- marks against the government"
 According to Policeman Strathy at least one dozen men who were in the lobby of the Phoenix hotel last even ing, are ready to swear to having heard Thompson make the offending remark and to have also heard him express himself in other ways calculated to show his antagonistic attitude toward the American government. Not until these dozen men had assured the ar resting officer of having heard Thomp- son express the hope that American soldiers sent to France are killed an6 of their willingness to so testify. die | Policeman Strathy make the arrest.
 When Thompson was taken from hi. ecot and ordered to dress, he inquired 1 the cause. He was informed that tn, federal officers would probably enlight en him. From then until he wa locked up he maintained a complet silence. While Thompson, who carrie, an 'I. w. w. card will probably b
 charged with vagrancy in police cour
 today, 1t is also likely that if investi
 gation by the federal authorities re yeals that he actually made the remarl
 with which he is credited. he will fac
 more serious charges. But little i

 that he has been stopping at the Phoe

LIFE SENTENCE
 MURDERER SLOT

John Fields. the negro wife slayer, was given a life sentence by Judge Stanford yesterday morning.
 The murderer, aside from a slight bulging of his eyes. took the sentence with calm indifference. He said he had no word to offer and neither was their any statement made by his attorneys. Fields killed his bride of a few weeks when she remonstrated with him about his affairs with other women. He shot her twice and immediately. after fir ing the last shot fled to Prescott. En route for the north he was captured by the officers and laughed when they fn- formed him that his wife was dead.
 His defense was that his wife at tempted to slash him with knife and that he only shot to frighten her

ALL FATS;
ARE PRECIOUS
Reducing Pastry and Fried Foods to
Help in Great Measure
Toward Licking
Kaiser.

Fats are the most precious thing in
this war. Germany is nearer break
ing for want of fats than any other
one thing.
Hindenburg himself not long ago
gave notice that unless his troops and
the munition makers got more fats,
something would happen in Germany.
Fats supply energy. When people
go hungry they draw on the fats in
their bodies. When that is gone, they
are an easy prey to disease Some
fats have stuff in them for growth.
Without fats, people weaken and
waste away.
Our armies use fat by shipload.
Glycerine, which comes from fat, is
one of the chief things for making
modern explosives. We must have
! fats to keep up the fight.
Save fats. DO not limit your sup
plies of milk, table butter and cheese;
but consume all. Don't waste any.
You can cut the consumption of fats
by reducing pastry and fried foods.
Use cotton-seed or corn oil or peanut
oil for cooking. Use dri2pings.
| Trim your own meat and melt the
fat. Don't let a scrap get into the
garbage pail.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
urges the purchasers of Liberty loan
bonds of both the first and second IS

The secretary's statement was

from time to time by agents seeking
to inducse them to part with their
Liberty loan bonds and take in ex-
change securities which in a number
Of cases are of very questionable

sire to protect the bondholders
against ill-advised disposition of their
bonds.
The secretary expresses the hope
that every purchaser of Liberty
bond will realize that the only genu-
inc help that he gives his government
is keeping his bond as an investment
so long as it is possible for him to do
so. He states. however, that no Just
objection lies to the sale of Liberty
bond where real necessity exists for
its sale.
