DIKE IS BANISHED
FOR TELLING TRl’TH
* -
LONDON, April—"The Grand |
Duke Nicholas Michaelovitch,” says
a Times dispatch from Pearograd. ■
“was banished to his estates In De
cember for telling Emperor Nicholas
the truth concerning the situation
and for denouncing the Rasputin
scandal.
"The Grand Duke relates how he
was moved much more during the
conversation than the emperor nnd
when, fearing he had gone too far.
he said to the emperor: ‘Now call
your cossacks, have me killed and
buried in your garden.' The emperor
merely smiled and thanked him.
'A few days later the emperor wrote
jthe grand duke a note ordering an{1
[imploring him to retire to his coun
try seat. Before retiring to the coun
try the grand iluk* wrote a letter to
the emperor.”
The text of thw letter 4s printed by
[the Times. Following are some ex
tracts from it:
“You often told me you could put
faith in nobody and that you were
being deceived. If this is so, it ap
plies particularly to your wife, who
loves you, yei who led you into error.
Being surrounded by evil-minded in
Itimates, her words are the product of
skillful machinations, not of truth,
jlf you are powerless to liberate her
from these influences, then, at all
! events, beware of the intriguers who
ere using your wife as an instru
ment.
“Your first impulses are always re
i markably true, but as soon as other
influences supervene, you begin to
j waver.”
A Reuter dispatch from Petrograd
; says:
“The coffin of the mystic monk,
! Rasputin, and arch intriguer and
i worker upon the imperial weakneses
and superstitions, was disinterred at
Tzanskoe-Selo yesterday and is lying
on a truck there pending its removal
i elsewhere for burial.
' “Patriotic proclamations are still
the order of the day from the gov
ernment and individual members. All
these proclamations are of one sense,
dealing with the necessity for unre
mitting work and strict discipline if
Russia's enemies are to be overcome.
...."In your hands.” says a cabinet
manifesto, "lies the fate of national
liberty. The enemy is straining to
profit by any disorganization of the
accumulated great Russian forces on
the Russian front. With the edvent
of spring he will release his numer
ous fleet and consequently menace the
capital. His victory would be a victory
over free Russia. A Prussian victory
would deprive the Russians of all
their liberty and restore to power the
emperor of the enslaved people.
“The Petrograd nobility has adher
ed to the new government.

i
A very moderate display of inter
est, coupled with the fact that a
goodly number of voters left town
this morning to attend court at Cor
dova, has made the duties of the
judges and clerks of election a sine
cure today. At 3 o’clock this after
noon but 59 votes had been cast. The
lack of interest is largely due to the
fact that there is but one ticket in
the- Held, that ticket being composed
of the present council, which has
given universal satisfaction during
the past year. As to the school board,
although Mrs. Winans’ term expires
this month, there was no ticket put
up. and under the law Mrs. Winans
will automatically succeed herself for
another term of three years.
