Assembly to Dissolve

Stockholm, Jan. 2O.-Stung by their
defeat at the hands OF the majority OF
the Constituent Assembly, the Boil
sheviki have dissolved that body by
force of arms. according TO latest
word from Petrograd. Violent street
fighting is said to be raging in the
Russian capital.
The Lenine-Trotzky regime. deter
mined to retain governmental powers
against all comers, have instituted a
rule of blood, and iron. In breaking
up the assembly. they have declared
its functions transferred to the Coun-

their regime. This body is now TO de-

ably at the Hotel Astoria, opposite
the German embassy in Petrograd, a
hostelry that at one time was the
rendezvous of fashionable Petrograd,
and has since the Bolshevix revolution
been occupied by Bolshevik officials.
The aforementioned member OF the
ex-Czar's family lived in one OF the
finest rooms OF the hotel. His food
was carefully attended to by a wait

for him and called him "her own"
