MAD EXPOSES RASPUTIN ASSASSINS

Kan Said to Have Been Murdered Escaped Death Previously Through Story of Fantastic Leader.

NEW YORK, May 12.—The report received yesterday by wireless from Berlin through the Overseas News Agency that Gregory Rasputin, the Russian monk who is reputed to have wielded a powerful influence over Emperor Nicholas, has been assassinated, is coincident with the receipt here by the Associated Press of mail advices from its correspondent at Christiania, Norway, disclosing details of a plot to murder Rasputin.

They were tevealed by Heliodorus, the "Mad Monk of Tsaritsyn," a fantastic leader of the masses of the Volga region, who has figured prominently in the Rasputin case.

It is disclosed that Heilodorus, who disappeared from Russia some time ago, is a refuge in Christiania. Although once on the best of terms with Rasputin, he finally turned against him and denounced him as wielding criminal influence and undertook to Warn the Imperial court of this "dangerous fiend." The result of this at tack on the emperor's favorite was that Heilodorus was cast into a monastery prison from which he was released c-nly after having renounced the profession of a monk. In order to escape persecution he went to Sweden In a woman's garb in 1914, and is now living quietly in Christiania. According to Heliodorus, a representative of the Russian minister of the interior, Khvostoff, arrived in Christiana last January and proposed that Heliodorus become party to a conspiracy to assassinate the mystic monk. Khvostoff s envoy is said to have declared that Rasputin was working for a seperate peace between Germany and Russia, and "being bought by wealthy Jews, had secured for the Jews great contracts on supplies for the army."

Mad Monk Exposes Plot. fieliodorus, desiring to learn tha whole plot, posed as willing to enter the conspiracy and signed a contract ito engage a'band of murderers for 60*000 rubles. One of the ladies in waiting at the court was to be a party to the conspiracy and give the signal by telephone for Rasputin to come to 'the oourt. An automobile was to be in readiness for Heliodorus to escape as soon as he had seen his hired mur'derers execute the plot. It was a part of the bargain, it is declared by Heliodorus, *£hat the minister of the interior would procure an amnesty so that Heliodorus could return to Russia.

In February Heliodorus received a telegram saying that the 60,000 rubles were in a bank ready to be paid as soon as the plot was carried out. He then decided to reveal the whole affair and sent his wife with a written account of the plot to Petrograd, wnere she delivered it to the empress. The latter later sent word that Bhe had ready known the details of the affairs It seems that the mistress of Rschlevlsky, the agent sent to Christiinia. by Khvostoff, had betrayed tho conspirators.

Minister Khvostoff was forced to resign, Wt according to Heliodorus, who hafe laid the whole story bare to the Norweigian public, conditions at the imperial .court, are such that nothing but a revolution can clear the air.

These snapshots show what happened to the men of the Twenty-first infantry Just before their train left Portland, Ore., for the Mexican border.

First their mothers, sisters, wives and sweethearts distributed a choice assortment of good-bye kisses among Uncle Sam's fighting men, thereby booming business at the recruiting stations.

Then a party of women appeared with bulging bags and presented sacks of "Bull" Durham smoking tobacco to the whole detachment. Perhaps these kind-hearted souls didn't know it, but this tobacco is part of the regulaf equipment of both the army and navy of the United States, and rolling it into cigarettes is a favorite diversion of soldiers and sailors.

MEX PARLEYS END WITHOUT AN AGREEMENT

Continued From Page. One.

General Carranza's note urging that American troops be withdrawn from Mexico, received one month ago today, remains unanswered.

President Wilson is still determined, it is said, to carry out his original intentions of keeping American troops in Mexico until the bandit bands are completely broken up and danger of raids on American border communities is past.

It is known that General Obregon has been willing to make concessions in order to reach an agreement with the American conferees. He has been overruled, however, by'the first chief, General Carranza, and his advisers. After practically conceding the demands of the American conferees he was compelled to reverse his attitude.

Overruled by Carranza.

The end of the negotiations came after two conferences had been held. The first began at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and lasted until 1 p. m. when a recess was taken until 4 o'clock to permit General Obregon to keep a' lunch engagement

Sharp on the hour the dicussions were renewed. After two hours and a half, however, they were brought to an end. General Obregon. accompanied

General Obregon was. accompanied to his machine by General Funston. The Mexican conferee's manner was abrupt and vexed, but General Funston smiled as he bade him goodbye.

RENEW ARMY OPERATIONS.

Scott and Funston Return to Posts After Conference Ends. EL PASO, Tex., May 12.—Acting no longer as diplomatic agents, Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the United States army, and Gen. Frederick Funston, commandig the southern department, expect to leave today or'.tonight for their headquarters. Gen. Scott expects to go to Washington without delay and Gen. Funston to San Antonio to direct the mobilization of militia and regular troops that have been ordered to the border.

By the transfer of the questions they have been debating for two weeks with Gen. Obregon, Mexican minister of war, to diplomatic ^channels, Gen. Scott and Geh. 'Funston now are concerned only with the military aspect of thev situation. Gen. Funston was in communication with Gen. Pershing and Col. F. W. Sibley, commanding the forces near Boquillas, today, but it was understood that neither the heavy column in Chihuahua nor the small force stretched acrdss the border into Coahulla would assume aggressive attitudes at present.
