Mr.. Wilson called attention to the
fact that a man was selling monu-

the monuments there the city en-

work of setting up the monuments

them instead of putting in their time
for the city. He said this had been
going on for some time and should
be stopped.

EVACUATION Of
PETROCRAD BEGINS
MINISTERS TO MOSCOW AND
PEOPLE SCATTER TO
VARIOUS CITIES.

Petrograd, Tuesday, March S.
The bolshevik leaders are prepared
to withdraw to even as far as the
Ural mountains rather than submit
to the defeat of the revolution, said
Leon Trotzky, bolshevik foreign
minister, in an interview today With
the Associated Press.
London, March 6.-The evacua-
ton of Petrograd has begun. Three
state ministries, according to a
Reuter- dispatch from Petrograd,
dated Tuesday, have started to
leave the capital, from which the
population also is fleeing hastily.
The bolshevik government pro-
poses to declare Moscow the Rus
sian capital and Petrograd free
port.
Petrograd is being evacuated by
the bolsheyik government, Moscow
the ancient capital is to again be-
come the seat of the Russian gov
ernment, while Petrograd is to be
made free port.
The population of Petrograd is
quitting it hurriedly, and various
government departments are re-
moving further inland away from
the German invader. Bolshevik
councils in Moscow and the pro-
yinces are said to be more opposed
to the Germans and separate
peace than those in Petrograd.
War Party Grows.
Previous reports that the hard
terms of the German peace treaty,
which takes from Russia thousands
of square miles in Europe and
Asia, would not be accepted by the
all-Russian congress of workmen's
and soldiers delegates, indicated
also that the non-peace elements in
the bolshevik ranks were gaining
the upper hand. Evacuation of
Petrograd was mentioned as one of
de measures the war party pro-
posed.
Refusal of the peace treaty by
the congress, when it meets at Mos
COW next week, probably will cause
the downfall of Lenine and Trotz-
ky, ii they do not resign before
hand. A section Of the bolsheviki
is said to lean toward the social
revolutionists of the left, who have
been opposed to the Lenine regime
and inclined to be friendly with the
entente allies, although favorable to
an immediate general peace.

CURTAILMENT OF
CITY'S EXPENSES
IS NECESSARY

That curtailment Of expenses in
every department Of the city gov
ernment is necessary, was the con-
clusion reached by the members Of
the city commission at its meeting
last night. Just where the curtail-
{. ment is to begin, and when, was
: not designated, but the mayor
caused to be read a report, or state
ment from the city treasurer, show
ing many OF the different funds
overdrawn and only a few dollars
in others. 1t was shown by this
: statement that the general fund was
ovcrdrawn $33,0OO and the water
works fund oyerdrawn more than
$29,OOO The mayor said the state
auditor had been to see him and had
It'd him that the commissioners
had done wrong; that they had
been drawing warrants against a
fund in which not only there was
. no money but one for which no levy
had been made. The First Ma
tional Bank had been carrying war
rants for the city to help it out, the
mayor stated. The city has $4,000
coming from the county treasurer
in a day or two which would take
up much Of this, but later in the
meeting it developed that a great
deal OF this $4,000 had already been
expended. 1--WE have considerable
money in the interest and sinking
fund and have a right to invest this
money in warrants, but we must be
very careful to keep enough in that
fund to meet interest payments
when they come due the mayor
said. The record shows that the
watcrwork department has been
over-carning expenses, yet this fund
has been overdraWn more than any
other. The waterworks has been
burden, the mayor declared The
commissioners believed that it had
been matter OF bad luck. as ma
chinery had been broken. The mayor
did not say whose fault it was, but
insisted they must begin cutting eX-
pcnscs in order to get by until
the bond issue is secured.
Commissioner Fraley said when
this administration came into office
the waterworks fund was oyerdrawn
$1,000 and when they had finished
paving off the old administra-
tions' debts it was $4,000, They
had laid pipe to all parts OF the town
where people desired to build houses
and showed that it was impossible
with the limited means to furnish
all new building sections with sew
ers and water 1t was shown that
one man told the mayor he was
ready to contract ior the building OF
fourteen houses ii he could be guar
antccd water. Commissioner Carter
said he knew a man who wanted to
begin the construction Of thirty
houses and City Attorney Bass said
he knew OF one who would build
ten houses Immediately il he could
get water. Then, Mr.. Bass said,
there was another new addition
knocking at the city's door and ask
ing to be taken in, but would de
mand water This addition would
add $lOO0O0O to the asscssablc val
ues of the city. 1t was defined as
a condition arising from the rapid
growth OF the city, a condition that
can only be met with bond issue.
Must Have Governments o. K.

searched by a special officer of the
railway company. He was taken to

could not afford to do that, and the
man was released.
