 Intimate of Royal Family.
 Other powerful officials tried to check the advance of Rasputin, only to find themselves in disfavor. Ras- putin became the intimate of the royal family, gave orders to the min- isters and conducted himself as the supreme power.
 The only successful attempt to in- duce the court to send Rasputin away resulted disastrously for the plot ters Before leaving, Rasputin warned the empress that misfortune was sure to follow. When the heir to the throne fell i'll, the frightened empress recalled the favorite in haste.
 Power Continues to Grow.
 Since his return, Rasputin's power has continued to grow. His coun- sel is called for in deciding every question of importance. It is said on high authority that he brought about the ministerial change last year that saved Russia from a war with Austria. He lived as a prince, with a magnificent villa, at Yalta, in Crimea. One of his daughters by his peasant wife is being educated in an aristocratic girls college in St. Petersburg and is chief companion of the emperors daughters.

.BREMNER'S ESTATE
EXCEEDS 100000
Largest Shares Go to Congress.
mans Widow, His Brother
and His Mother.
Especial to the Newark star !

PASSAIC, Feb. 12.-The will of the
late Congressman Robert G. Bremner
was read to the members of the
Bremner family yesterday. While
nothing official was made public con-
cerning the document it is under
stood the total value of the late con-
gressman's estate exceeds 500, 900.
1t is understood the widow, Mrs.
Edith Bremner, receives $4,000 and
half of the real estate, the other half
going to the testator's brother, Leith
Bremner. His mother, Mrs. Alexan-
der Bremner. who lives in Canada.
receives $4,000.
1t was rumored here today that
Mrs. Bremner would be named post
mistress of Passaic March l. This
was denied by persons in a position
to know. While neither Leith Brem-
ner nor the widow would discuss the
matter it is understood that the post
will go to Joseph Spitz, a close, per-
sonal friend of the late congressman.
The name of Mrs. Bremner had
been advanced by some sincere per-

likely that she will not even consider

STEAMER ASHORE
ON DANGEROUS
CAPE COD POINT
Life-savers Unable to Launch
Boat in Gale and Zero
Weather.

PROVINCETOwN, Mass, Feb. Il.
The Peaked Hill Life Saving Sta
tion reported this afternoon that a
steamer was ashore on the Peaked
Hill Bar, half a mile Off the beach.
A violent gale is blowing and the
temperature is zero.
The point where the steamer struck
Is the most dangerous on the cape.
Distress signals from the vessel while
she was hidden by the vapor that
covered the ocean were heard off the
end of Cape Cod at frequent inter-
walls before the life savers located
her. The government wireless oper-
ator at Highland Light was unable
to obtain any response to numerous
radio calls and it was believed that
if the vessel had a wireless equip
ment it has become disabled. The
sea was so heavy that the life savers
could not launch their boat
Peaked Hill Bar is directly of the
end of Cape Cod, on the ocean side
and has been the scene of over 100
wrecks.
; The entire crews of the Race Point,
Peaked Hill, High Head and High
land stations were turned out, and
by 2 o'clock forty life savers were
patrolling the beach from Highland
Light to Race Point at intervals of
a quarter of mile. The weather was
the bitterest of the winter, with the
wind blowing forty miles an hour,
directly on to the beach. The outer
and inner bars along the entire
length of the cape were white with
foam.
The revenue cutters Gresham and
Acushnet were ordered out at
o'clock, and began search for the
vessel, guided only by the signals of
her whistle.

Tammany Leader and Friends
Throw Open Restaurant for
Frozen Tenants.

NEW YORK. Feb. 12.-Charles F.
Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall;
John H. McCooey, Democratic leader
of Brooklyn, and Joseph S. Moss.
justice of Special Sessions, returning
from a dinner at the Hotel Biltmore
early today, saw flames coming from
the lower windows of the four-story
tenement at 200 202 Third avenue. Led
by Mr.. Murphy. Mr. McCooey and
Justice Moss leaped from the Third
avenue street car. on which they were
returning to their homes, and ran into
the burning building.
They found Patroiman O'Connor.
of the East Twenty second street sta
ton, pounding on the doors of the
fats in the house and arousing the
tenants. O'Connor did not recognize
the three men in silk hats, fur over
i coats and evening clothes at first and
told them that they could be Of help
to him by assisting him In the work
OF rescue.
The tenement has an entrance at
14s East Eighteenth street, and the
Tammany chieftain and Justice Moss
went from floor to floor arousing the
sleeping families. The women and
children were taken to the street
Many of them were but scantily clad,
so Mr.. Murphy and Justice Moss woke
up Leo Abrams, who keeps a dry goods
store at ITS Third avenue, and bought
the women and children all the under
clothing and woolen dresses that they
needed.
Mr. Murphy then took the shivering
tenants 10 the restaurant run by
William Allaire & Son. at 1874 Third
avenue. Allaire threw open the pri-
vate dining rooms on the second floor
of the restaurant at Mr.. Murphy's
request, and after hot coffee had
been brewed and served 10 them the
half frozen tenants were permitted to
spend the rest of the night in the
dining rooms.
Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. McCooey went
through the building at 200-202 Third
avenue, and also through the ad-
joining building at 196-19S Third ave-
nue., and did not rest until assured
that all the tenants of the buildings
were safe. The Tammany chief, his
Brooklyn lieutenant and Justice Moss
did not leave the fire until $50 o'clock
this morning. when they felt certain
that they could do nothing further
for the comfort of the fire victims.
The hats of all three men were
battered and seorched by the sparks
from the blaze, while the spray from
the many lines of hose which were
played on the flames soaked through
their clothes and then frozze Mr.
Murphy and his friends drank sew
eral cups of coffee with the fire vic
tins with evident relish.
When the stock of clothing in
Abrams's store was exhausted Mr..
Murphy gave money TO friends of his
who quickly recognized him in the
crowd, and the neighborhood was
ransacked for underclothing, stock
ings and clothing for those who lost
everything they owned in the fire.

They claim to have gathered evI-
dence that will substantiate every
thing The Star has printed about the
food-fish situation, including num-
ber of statements from their members
showing that they can get more real
value out of dollars worth of beef
than they can out of a dollars worth
of fish. They also show in their
statement that the dollars worth OF
beef costs at least forty cents to
raise while not penny is expended
on the raising of the fish, and still
the latter is far more expensive than
beef.
Another letter that has been re-
ceived by The Star calls attention to
the conviction of the poultry trust
members, who must serve a term in
