Little Old White-Haired Woman Refugee Stirs Inter- . national Circles. By A. H. -FREDERICK \EA Service Staff ll'rtter AN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15. —Nicholas, czar of all the Russians, is alive— a prisoner in Japan of his own desire. Intrenched behind garden walls and thick-foliaged trees—using as protective camouflage the modesty of the house he has selected—the former ruler has found refuge in the Orient. From Madame Eugenia Gaevesky, little old white-haired lady, who makes her living here teaching languages and acting interpreter to her fellow Russians, comes this report. Story Rouses Interest Her affirmative story has caused a ripple in international circles, and temorarily set aside sinister tales of butchery of the Romanos royal family in the prison castle of Ekaterinburg. July 17, 1918. Likewise it follows close on the neels of a counter narrative, supposedly issued by the Bolshevik government, to the effect that Nicholas is not only dead but his severed head is now a curiosity, preserved in alcohol, in a Russian museum. But such accounts have not shaken Madame Gaevesky’s faith. Once an intimate of those n|Oving in the inner circles of Russian society, and knowing well the nobility whose names were synonymous with the power of the old regime, she persists in beueif of Tier story. “It is indeed true,” she stoutly maintains. “The little father is alive. “Live Hidden Life" “Those of unquestionable veracity have told me they have seen him. "His life? Os that they cannot tell. None but his closest intimates know of that. Even his neighbors know him only as a man who shrouds himsin Inconspicuousness, who shrinks from contact with the street, who is, perhaps, a little queer, a bit feeble minded. “But long before these people told me they had seen the czar, I knew that he had made his escape to Japan. "In 1918. I first heard it, direct from those who heard it from the dowager empress herself." Whether a myth fathered by wish, or a true Ivgh light in h.storical romance. belief : n the escape of the czar s held by many of the Russ an refugees here, says Madame Gaevesky. “Imperialists were busy during the days when the ’little father’ and his family were prisoners of the sov.et. Royalist spies penetrated Into the red counc Is and carr.ed back reports to their superiors, the chiefs of the plotters,” she relates. “Escaped by Ruse” “One night as the nmper.ai family sat with the.r meditations on what the future nfight hold, the door opened, and a small group of peasants entered. Peasants in dress, but not deportment. With all the grace of the court, they saluted the czar. “They told him of the plot. He was to escape in the dress of a peasant, while one of the.r number, very s.milar in face, figure and carriage to the czzar, was to stay behind in h.s place, to avoid pursuit. “The czar demurred. lie would not allow the sacrifice, nor would he desert h.s family. “The consp rators apparently were prepared for this, for and without unnecessary disturbance they forcibly garbed him .n peasant attire and spirited him away. “Only a few days later until the pseudo czar and the four members of the royal family were led to their death in the cellar of the fortress. “How it was managed, I have never heard,” says Madame Gaevesky. Perhaps the guard that night was loyal to the imper ai house, maybe he was br bed, maybe vodka. “But I do know he is alive. Only he and the Grand Duchess Titiana escaped. The grand duchess fled with her sold.er husband earl.er in the revolution.”

Good Health In Happy Old Age

THE chief concern of elderly people is their health, and that is best assured by regular daily bowel movement. There is no truth, however, in the notion that because you are old you need a “strong physic.” In fact, just because you are old a mild laxative is better for you. The trouble with purges and cathartics and physics is that they shock the system and weaken it and make the muscles of digestion flabby. Dr. G. H. Brown. V. S., of Frederic, Wis., nearly wrecked his stomach with purgatives. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin restored his health, as it did Mrs. J. S. Etheridge’s, of Milledgeville, Ga.

The Democratic national committee met today to select a convention city and discuss party finances. After two days of preliminary gossiping, estimation of the chances of the several candidates for the rtynination and “log rolling” for compet ing convention cities, the committeemen settled down to consideration of: 1. How to wipe out the SIBO,OOO deficit in the party treasury, held over from the last campaign. 2. Choose from among New York, Chicago, St. Lou.s and San Francisco a city to be host to the 1924 convention.

San Francisco’s offer of *200,000 plus free use of a convention hall and a SIOO,OOO entertainment fund, gSve the other three contenders something to aim at, but in corridor gossip it was reported New York had “something up her sleeve” besides an offer of SIOO,OOO plus expenses. Chicago, a favored site, was reported ready with an offer of full expenses and a bonus of $40,000. while St. Louis supporters were prepared to guarantee a flat SIOO,OOO out of which expenses would be paid. ieStion Mortally Wounded Bandit Takes 'Last Ride,' By United Press CHICAGO.
