PETERSBURG, Mar. 1 Members of the Duma are demand: ing a thorough investigation of the tragedy recently reported from the Arcile Island of Nova Zembla, which resulted in the starvation of an en tire fishing colony. Some time ago a syndicate established the colony and promised that supplies would be sent regularly, A government steamer, which touched there re cently, found not a living person. No provisions had been landed for ten months, and all had perished from hunger. The grim story of thelr sufferings was told in notes left by one of the victims, a man named Chenoff. “We are at the end of our pro | visio he wrote, “and can get nothing, not even the tiniest fish. A ship appears, but ft Is only a fresh lelusion, for ft does not come our way. It ts terrible to watch our hildren dying. Driven by necedhity, we are eating the wool of our cloth ing. The children are now all dead. Only four fMhermen and two women are left ‘ative. Two fishermen ai the flesh of the dead, and they have (died as a result. 1, Chenoff, am the only one remaining. My hands \ahake, my eyes are growing dim. ‘The end is near” Standpatters Endorse Taft, Turn Down Pres ‘dential Primaries TACOMA, March 1.—With standpatters in absolute control, the state republican committee here yesterday afternoon indorsed Presi- dent Taft and turned down presidential primaries. The state convention will be held in Aberdeen on May 1, it was decided. With seven progressives back led a fight for presid: tial primaries, but the standpatte: of him, Thos. Murphine of Seattle sat on him. “If you turn this down, it means a hand-picked delegation to the mationa! convention,” shouted Murphine. Evidently the committeemen did not care. “ROO EVELT GUARANTEED © TAFT,” SAYS BILL BRYAN PORTLAND, Or. March 1.—De- claring that Col. Roosevelt had never been identified with pro- Qressive ideas and measures until long after they had been brought before the public and fought for Senator La Foliette, Wm. Jen- Bryan, here last night, ecored Roosevelt, and other things declared for the di election of United States senators, the direct primary, in- pirtincconiig king before an) come tax, tariff, revision and the recall of the judiciary, He left for Tacéma early today. In his arraignment of Roosevelt, Bryan said that the former preat dent had “always lined up with the interests” In the campaigns. “Roosevelt guaranteed Taft,” |said Bryan, “and now hie action is a declaration that Mr. Taft is a | political bankrupt, and the ex-presi- jgent comes forward to make good his guarantee.” Spring, 1912, Styles Im Men's and Women’s Footwear Are arriving daily.

JOHN F. MILLER, Chairman. Hiram C NOMINEE FOR MAYOR THE STAR.-FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1912. For the benefit of the thousands of voters who will not have ttiné questions to be voted up next Tuesday, The Star makes the following recommendations, Clip out Star's advisory ballot and take it with you to the polla, If you are undecided about any question, VOTE NO ON IT.) *At next Tuesday's general city election the people of Se Jattle, in addition to eleeting city officials, will be called gport to vote upon three general propositions, four city bond issues and eight propositions advanced by the Port of Seattle ¢om, mission for harbor improvements, . Owing to the distracting multiplicity of issues, most of these proposals have been given comparatively little attention, and there is grave danger that some of them lacking in positive merit, or even positively evil in their possible consequences, will be enacted without sufficient study on the part ofthe voters. Owing to the great multiplicity of these issues and the inadequate study given them by many electors, it is a com paratively safe rule for any voter to vote against all of them which he has not studied, or of which he has not been con- vineed that there is an absolute present need In short, do not vote for something you know nothing about, just because you find it on the ballot, Many of these propositions have been inadequately con- sidered, some of them are lamely drawn, and not a few of them contain discovered or undiscovered jokers of grave im- portance, The following ballot has been prepared by The Star with much care, after a study of the reports of all organizations which have issued reports on them, and can be followed with safety by any voter who has not given each measure special study. Any voter who has made a personal study of any proposition should, of course, vote his conVictions thereon, and this ballot is intended only to guide voters not otherwise informed by an authority in which the voter has personal con fidence. (Cut out and preserve this ballot.) On the official ballot of the city election the voter will find first seven propositions, as follows SEVEN IMPORTANT PROPOSALS NO. 1—Directing the city sounctl to pave the way for @ municipal telephone system. VOTE VES. NO. 2-—-This covers the Bogue municipal plans, Believing this to be one of the most Important issues before the people. The Star bas almed to give its readers complete and reliable information concern. Ing it. At present this paper is publishing a series of articles prepared by the Municipal league, favoring the adoption of the plans, However, this paper Is of the opinion that the plans should be rejected, because the city can reject them and ati! have them as a guide for future mu- nicipal tmprovements, whereas their adoption would bind the city to a fixed scheme, which would be both expensive and inconvenient. There fore The Star advises VOTE NO. NO. 3--Directing the city counel! to grant extension franchises to the Seattle Electric Company on terme desired by the company, which terme are In ‘violation of the provisions of the charter, The charter provision which it is sought by this proposition to nullify isthe provision which reserves to the city the right to purchase the property of toe company on fair terma.

The Star makes the following recommendations on these various propusitions: PORT COMMISSION'S PLANS The proposals advanced by the port commission will be presented on a separate ballot. They are NO. 1-—General port improvement scheme, VOTE YES. NO, 2—Public dock site &t Smith's cove. $1,000,000 bond issue. VOTE YE NO, Public ock site on East waterway, Bond issue $850,000, !

There is no question as to the morit of this power site, The city. lighting and enginering departments are both favorable (0 Its purchnse. However, at present the city does not need any additional water pow and therefore the purchase of thie site would only be for future ame. The price of $1,000,000 seems high, but the city, ft Is declared, can never buy it for lens, The Star recommends a negative vote, but there is ur doubted merit on the other side. NO, 7—Fond issue of $125,000, to eatablish tuberculosis hospital, This is a very important pul undertaking, VOTE YES. TWENTY-SEVEN CHARTER AMENOMEN Those, also, will be found on the official city ballot, NO, 1—Griffiths single tax amendment. VOTE N NO, 2—Erickson single-tax amendment. VOTE VES. ‘The single tax has enough merit to warrant Seattle in giving {te fair trial. At the end of one year, or even sooner, if the people desire, they can change it, At any rate, the single tax cannot injure the home owners, the renters and the people in average circumstances; therefore The Star recommends a favorable vote. NO. 3—Giving city council! authority to prescribe conditions reg lating the publicity campatens of candidates for office. Gives cand! dates already in the counct! an advantage.

The Star advises its readers most emphat-} ically to vote against this project in its present form. The! city’s interests are not safeguarded. The proposition is un-| businesslike to the point of being ridiculous. Seattle can’t buy prosperity, especially by paying out dollars for 50-cent | pieces. The port commissioners, who have now had time to study the details of the scheme, are unanimously opposed to it. They have found that Mr. Ayers, the chief promoter, has had no experience with a terminal except as an advertising writer,) and they have found that many of the representations and| promises made were misleading and grossly exaggerated The commission says: “No evidence has been presented} by Mr. Ayers which would lead the commission to modify its} opinion that the development as planmed is out of all propor tion to any reasonable expectation of the near future, a that if actually gone into on the scale propo it MUST IN-} EVITABLY END IN FAILURE UNLESS SUSTAINED BY THE PORT DISTRICT.” j Reject the promoters’ scheme NOW and give the .port| Island terminal project.
