that body yesterday
In requiring the company to OH
serve tho ordinances. the board IS
simply doing its duty and enforcing
laws that have not been as rigdIy
enforced IA the past as they should
have been.
THE activity displayed nv the
board Il probably accelerated 10 some
extent hy the insistencc of city council
Several resolutions have becn sent
the board lay council urging immediate
action
The board has taken under con
sidertion many difficulties that con
front the street car company. and
probably has not insisted upon tho
observance of the ordinances ~ it
should The prevailing ahnormsl con
dition~ are such that il is almost i'm
possible to enforce MANY ordinances.
'But with the council urging us
10 proceed at once. and with kpowl~
edge of the fact that the company is
not observing the requirements OF its
tran chise. there is nothing for the
board 10 do, but see that the, laws
are observed.
We are not going To prosecute the
company for running too many ears,
nor for extending additional accom-
modations TO the public All we shall
insist upon is that the minimum mum
her OF cars be run and that the
schedule be observed as required by
the laws
The board yesterday requested Ihe

Declares That the BoIshe- wiki Leader is Really Working For the
 People
WANTS LASTING PEACE
Says the Daughters of the Late Car Are Work ing With the BoI-
 Sheviki

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3o.-Prof Edward Ross, of the University of Wisconsin, formerly of Stanford, has just returned from Russia, and he says the Bolsheviki movement is not fostered by German agents, as is generally supposed in the United States.
 He said he spent five months in Russia and talked to all classes. He says he interviewed Leon Trotsky, the Russian Foreign Minister.
 Prof. Ross gave the interesting news that Tatiana and Olgo Roman off, daughters of the former czar, are espousing the BoIshevki cause, and attend radical meetings in Tob- oIsE He says the Bolshevk move. ment is purely by and for the peo- pie.
 Continuing, the professor said the landowners and capitalists have no in the government. He said -Trotsky was '1Rstudentc and a thinker on sociological problems. The new Russian Foreign Minister, the professor said, intends to solve econ omc and social questions by as practical methods as possible. He claimed that Trotsky aimed at gov ernment control and not government ownership of plants and private in- dustries.
