is good government, Otherwise a

be brought about only by the public

The Volga river of Russia furnishes
sturgeon from which eggs are taken.
These eggs find a ready market
throughout the world and are traded
for tractors, electrical machinery and
cotton goods. A third Of the weight
of the female sturgeon is sometimes
accounted for by the roe and when it
is cured and marketed 1t is caviar, a

U. S. Is Unaffected
By New Naval Pact

No proposal has been made to
this country to reduce the size Of
battleships under the London
naval treaty to $4,000 or $4,000
tons, officials asserted today in
relation to reports that the new
Franco-Italian naval accord fixes
maximum tonnage at near those
figures.
The French and Italians may
have agreed as between them
selves not to construct battleShipS
of larger tonnage, it was stated,
but that fact does not affect the
United States.
The Franco-Itallan settlement
is regarded by officials here with
satisfaction. 1t is expected they
will now come into the three
power London treaty, negotiated
last winter, and it is also believed
their new-found cordially will
smooth the pathway of the next
disarmament conference in Feb
ruary, 1882.
The next conference will con-
Germ itself principally with reduc-
ton of land armament. The
American Army has already been
reduced to the status of a ma
tional police force, but to Cont
mental Europe the maintenance Of
standing armies is a serious q1es-

ON TRIAL
FOR TREASON

MOSCOW, March 2 Q.N.So
In the second big counter'revolu-
tionary trial within few months,
ii prominent economists charged
with treason appeared in court to-
day and pleaded guilty to all &C
cuSations.
Face Death Penalty
The penalty for their offense is
death. They emulated the eight
engineers who stood trial last De-
cember on charges Of sabotage
and conspiracy to overthrow the
Soviet by pleading guilty as soon
as soon as the indictment against
them was read.
The trial opened and continued
on its pOnderouS course strangely
devoid of the glamour and street
drama that accompanied the trial
of Prof. RamZin and his assO-
ciates. While there were Klieg
lights and cameras, there was no
nationwide broadcast and no
bowling mObs demanding the lives
OF the DEFENDANTS.
ITO Pages of Charges
The act of accusation against
the economists filled 10 pages,
charging them with. the formation
of Union Bureau" Of the
Menshevist party, with secret work
and organization designed to I'M
dermine the Soviet, and with con-
nection of Ramzin engineer group.

Naval Pact and Indian Peace
Accomplished; Strike LegiS-
Iation May Cause Defeat

LONDON, March 2 U.N.SO.
The government Of Prime Minis
ter j. Ramsay Macdonald emerged
from a week end of spectacular
successes today to find itself still
embroiled in a domestic problem
which may spell the end of the
Laborite regime.
During the last "a hours, mem
bers of MacDOnald'S cabinet have
succeeded in scaling the seem
ingIy insurmOuntable difficulties
in the way of five-pOwer naval
agreement.
India Troubles End
In the same time Lord Irwin,
British viceroy in India, APP
peared to have come to an agree
ment with Mahatma M. K.
Gandhi which will bring to an end
the Indian Nationalist campaign
of civil disobedience to British
rule.
But in spite of these two far
reaching achievements, by means
of which history may be able to
credit the Macdonald regime with
momentous accomplishments, the
Macdonald government is beset
with parliamentary difficulties.
They revolve about a Liberal
amendment to the trades disputes
bill, the chief item on the gov
ernment's legislative program.
Strikes Made Illegal
This amendment, carried in
committee last week by vote Of
81 to 81, virtually invalidates the
measure by making strikes
against public service illegal.
Special cabinet meetings are be-
ing held tonight and tomorrow to
determine the course of action.
The government can either pro-
coed with the emasculated strike
bill, withdraw it entirely or sub
nit it's resignation.

LIMA. Peru, March 2 G.N.SO
A new junta ruled Peru today
after the Peruvian navy, without
firing a shot, forced Provisional
President Luis M. Sanchez Cerro

bloody civil war"
The present provisional govern

Shortly after the triumvirate

OF supporting warships, steps
were taken to communicate with
the rebel southern junta" at
Arequlpa in an effort to end civil
strife, rampant for two weeks.
Troop Ships Halted
The revolt of the navy came
simultaneously with suspension of
hoStilitieS and an invitation to
rebel leaders by Sanchez Cel TO
to participate in a general pea e
conference.
Previous to launching their un-
expected Pacific movement, the
naval commanders posted their
warships at strategic points in
Callao harbor, and under threats
Of shell fire ordered all army
transports waiting to carry loyal
troops south to halt. Thereupon
an ultimatum was published in
local papers demanding that pro-
visional President Sanchez Cerro

Sanchez Cerro made a belated
attempt to save his government.
calling a conference of all strata
of Peruvian life to an afternoon
meeting at the government pal
ace. He assured the naval COM
manders that military operations
against southern rebels had been
suspended, and promised a gen.

to participate in a peace con-
ference.

Later, however, it was an

with the entire cabinet, leaving
the palace at once for one of the
hotels. Crowds flOcked immedi-
ately to the hOstelry,. cheering
the resigned leader, some de-
manding that they be given arms
to defend him.
The naval manifesto also pro
voked intense excitement here and
at Callao, for a time threatening
violent outbreaks. With the an
nouncement of Sanchez Cerro's
resignation and establishment Of
a Provisional government, tension
quickly relaxed.
Troops Seize City
In the manifesto it was stated
that the naval commanders were
aware of the spreading revolt and
increasing strength of the rebels,
who were planning a march upon
Lima.
Revolutionary troubles began
February 20, when an uprising
was suppressed at Callao with the
loss of some 60 lives. A few days
later the garrison at Arequipa,
where last year Sanchez Cerro
himself launched a revolt that
eventually overturned the govern
ment of President Augusta B.

the city.
