RUSSIAN NOBLEMAN ACCUSED OF MURDER OF CZAR'S

"MYSTIC MONK"

!iU: xsJ'-- ' - 'V-Jh i arf-.: . ..L 1

a F321NCESS VUSSUPOFX . After the murder of Rasputin, the famous (or infamous) Russian monk, whose Influence at the Russian court is said to have been enormous, Prince Felix Yussupoff suddenly disappeared and only recently has been located on

his fathers vast estates in Crimea. In spite of accusations that he wzs the ringleader in the plot which brought about the killing of the "Mystic Monk,"

he still remains there in security. Prince Felix is twenty-nine years old and the son of Count Soumarokoff

Elston, who married the Princess Yusupoff in 1882, and, by special decree of Alexander III., assumed the title of Prince Yussupoff. The elder Prince Yussu

poff was the Governor of Petrograd and is considered Russia's most powerful man, next to the Czar.

PRESENT ROAD BILL WILL RECEIVE VETO OF THE EXECUTIVE

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2. After a bitter battle in committee for three weeks the highway commission bill was reported to the House this morning with a series of amendments. One of the amendments takes the initiative from the highway commission in the manner of designating the main market roads, also the letting of all contracts and leaves this power with the boards of county commissioners. The roads committee h-;ld a conference in the governor's office this morning at which this feature of the bill was gone over. As a result of

this conference, the impression was clearly left with the committee that the bill, if passed in its present form, would encounter the executive veto.

BILL IS WITHDRAWN

SALEM, Ore., Feb.

onti-alien land bill

from the legislature ator George Wilbur.

2. Oregon's was withdrawn today by Sen-

Democrat, who

These Words Floated Back Over Phone

introduced it, because, as he said, he

did not want to handicap President Wilson with possible JaDanese com-

plications during the present interna

tional crisis.

DRAMATIC SCENES FOLLOW PERSHING'S FORCES WITHDRAWAL

TEMPORARY FIELD HEADQUARTERS PUNITIVE EXPEDITION, OJO, FEDERICO, Chihuahua, Feb. 2, (by airplane to Columbus.) Withdrawal of fhe American punitive expedition from Mexico accompanied by rumors of Villa attacks and a curious collection of refugees, has

seen quite as many dramatic and picturesque sights as its entry ten months ago. Despite the fact that Major General John J. Pershing received the formal withdrawal order from Washington as late as 10:32 p. m., January 27, preliminary preparations to evacuate the occupied territory were begun more than a week previous to that date. When the order finally came truck trains had carried out all baggage in excess of that required by equipment. All forage had been stored at convenient points, organization commanders had received confidential and detailed orders, marches had been laid out and routes for cavalry and infantry chosen.

EARLY BIRD STUFF TRUE OF STUDENTS

Speaking to the 892 high school students at the first chapel exercises of the spring term this morning, Principal Pickell admonished the student body to inaugurate an early bird policy in the pursuance of its studies. Mr. Pickell warned the students against waiting until the latter part of the school year before settling down to earnest effort. The high school orchestra gave several numbers.

GERMANY DROPS HER LAST CARDS

PARIS, Feb. 2 "Germany's la3t card," is the caption under which several morning newspapers print Germany's note to the United States, Chancellor Von Bethmann Hollweg's speech etc. The editorial commimt .for the most part is also along the line indicated. Germany has contracted formal engagements with the United States, says the Petit Parisien. "It is these engagements." continues the newspaper, "that she is violating today, so that it would seem as if she wished to force America into a rupture of relations for t. would not be easy t'er Prrs dent Wilson to tolerate such inFolcnt laceration of a contract almost solemn."

GERMANS ACT LIKE DEFEATED BOXER

LIVERPOOL, Feb. 2. Commenting n Germany's note to the United Ftatos, the Liverpool Post says: "Germany's action is like that of a prize fighter who, conscious of impending t'.efeat. invites the spectators to come fnto the ring and assist his opponent in getting home the knockout blow."

DECLARES ACCOUNT WORKED INJUSTICE ON DANIEL G. REID

PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 2. Samuel Untermeyer, who is at Palm Beach, is counsel for the stockholders committee of the Rock Island Rail

road, when shown an article in the morning papers on Tuesday last on the proceedings in the United States Court of Chicago before Judge Carpenter, in which it was stated that Daniel G. Reid and others of the original directors of the Rock Island had been permitted to settle the suit brought by Mr. Untermeyer's client by paying back money to the com pany in restitution, said: "The account gives an entirely false impression and does Messrs. Reid, Moore and other associates grave injustice. It was stated in open court, and I have repeatedly stated in connection with this case, that it has at no time been claimed by any one connected with the case that, any of the old directors was guilty of any fraud or wrongdoing, or that any of them profited in any way personally by the transaction on account of which the suit was brought, or that they have by making the settlement admitted any legal or moral liability whatever. Our claim has been based

on the tneory tnat tne directors acted without legal authority, and this settlement is part of the plan of re-organization and involves no admission by or reflection upon anybody, as these gentlemen have consistently refused to entertain any adjustment that might involve a personal reflection upon the integrity of their management as directors.

SUPPORTS PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 The Cham

ber of Commerce of the United States declared the support of its membership today to President Wilson in the international crisis and bound itself to stand behind him in any outcome.

SWISS EDITOR SEES IRONY IN GERMANY'S ANSWER TO WILSON

GENEVA, Switzerland, Feb. 2. Georges Wagniere, editor of the Journal de Geneve, commenting on the German note says: "The answer of the Imperial governments to the nobly inspired message of President Wilson begins with irony, continues in a bitter political tone and ends with an atrocious threat. No buch hard and violent words have been uttered from official quarters since the outbreak of the war. It Is then war to the knife and neutrals are to suffer as much as belligerents. "President Wilson, who protested with such power against violations of law and the horrors of human massacre in his message, cannot accept

this recrudescence of atrocities and these threats directed against the f.hips of his own country. . to a noble gesture of appeasement and conciliation Germany answers by a veritable provacation. It is now America's turn to reply."

The noise of the Palladium's telephones this afternoon drowned out the chorus of the linotype "battery." . "What did the senate do with the prohibition bill?" By actual count that question was answered by Palladium employes 487 times between 10 a. m. and 1:30 p m. Then the ringing of the church bells came to the relief of the wearied Palladium workers, for those who heard the bells knew that Indiana had stepred into the dry column. "Glory to God," cried one woman when told of the senate's action. "Goodbye them dear old days," sighed a man.

"Goody-goody," shouted a little girl. "Blankety-blank-blank," swore a displeased citizen. "That is splendid," commented another citizen. "Say, kin a fellow get his beer outa the state and bring it here under this law," anxiously inquired another man.

GRAVEL FIRM BUYS PITS UNDER BRIDGE OVER EVANS LAND Mrs. Jonathan C. Evans announced today that the property located in the Whitewater river valley belonging to her and Mr. Evans and through which the South G street bridge will pass, has been sold to a company composed of Howard Gluys, Levi Peacock, William Macey, J. M. Gluys and Benjamin Nolte. She did not make public the compensation. Mr. Peacock said this afternoon that the land had been purchased by the Richmond Gravel company for commercial purposes. A fine grade of gravel lies under all the land. "We have no promises concerning the contract for the Main and South G street bridges," said Mr. Peacock.

When asked if the Evans appeal from the board of public works would be dismissed, Mr. Peacock replied that it would under certain circumstances. He would not state "the circumstances." The appeal now pending in circuit

court was filed some time ago by Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Evans asking $2,000 for damages which it was alleged the erection of the bridge would cause the property. The board of works had valued the damage at $500. Mr. Peacock would make no statement as to whether or not efforts would be made to purchase more land in the river valley.

WALTER PARKS HEADS BOSTON'S INSTITUTE; 500 PERSONS PRESENT

Petry, Boston, vice president from Wayne county; O. M. Whitmeier, Boston, treasurer; Mrs. Lola Endsley, secretary. About five hundred persons attended the opening sessions, this morning. Miss Grace L. King, county domestic supervisor, spoke this morning on the school lunch. "Three things are essential to the preparation of a school lunch, con

venience, neatness and attractiveness. Children get much more enjoyment and good out of food when the lunch box presents a pleasing appearance. The lunch serves as one-third of the child's daily food. It should be made up of sandwiches, fruit and dessert." There Is a large display of farm and home economics products. Hugh Williams, who gave a speech on "Judging Corn,' will announce winners of the corn show tomorrow morning. Rudolph G. Leeds, Richmond, spoke this afternoon on "The Farm Loan Bank." W. O. Jones, county road superintendent, was also a speaker this afternoon.

HART FOUND GUILTY

Hart was charged by a grand Jury indictment of having assaulted an eleven year old child.

PARIS, Feb. 2. Rear Admiral Lacaze, minister of marine, speaking ill the senate today declared that only one ' half of one percent of all the tonnage1 which entered French ports during the last eleven months have been sunk by ; German submarines. He said that this j percentage .might be a little higher in : the future but that' no efforts of the , Germans could prevent the final vie-J tory of the allies. j Admiral Lacaze spoke in reply to an interpellation by Senator D'Estour-, nelles de Constant in regard to the re- j sponsibility of the government in the, submarine warfare.

NO QUORUM PRESENT

Lack of a quorum prevented Boytown from holding a meeting last night. Not enough members of the junior police force showed up to bring the absent councilmen in.

Grip and Duffy's are natural enemies. Because grip is an infectious disease, its germs are carried in the atmosphere, also conveyed from one person to another. In combating grip, a refined stimulant like ; Duffy's Pure IVIalt Whiskey finds its widest field of usefulness, because its tonic effect upon the flabby mucous surfaces is just what is required. Given in tablespoonful doses in sugar and water every two or three hours, Duffy's helps digestion and assimilation of food, giving the system sufficient stamina and power to resist and throw off the dangerous germs of grip. Many people know that the usual precautions taken for the prevention of other diseases will not hold good in grip that is why they are so particular to
