RASPUTIN'S SWAY
REVEALED In SUIT
Ex-Priest Says Russian
Monk, Czarina's Adviser,
Halted Exposure Here

Charges that the influence Of Greg
cry Rasputin, a Russian monk. called
the most potent in Petrograd- even
executing that of the Czar-had reached
across the sea and suppressed publics-
ton of Russian court secrets, are made
in an affidavit filed in the Supreme
Court yesterday. Sergius Michailow
Trufsnof, formerly a priest of the
Russian Church and friend OF Raspu-
tin. made the charges.
Rasputin now is using his power to
bring about a separate peace between
Russia and Germany, according to his
former colleague, who says the monk
is pro- German and is trying to impose
his views on the Romanoff court.
Trufanoff charges further that Ras-
putin is using his power to exact a
personal loan Of 100000 rubles from
England, on the threat that ne will use
his influence to effect q separate peace
for Russia.
Trufanoff also asserts that Mikhael
Oustinoff, Russian Consul General in
this city, NJ Rutsky, Consul, and Arch
bishop Evdokim, Of the Russian church,
tried to swerve him from his purpose
by offering $4,000 as the price Of his
silence. Failing in this, says Trufs-
noff. the local consul general got in
touch with "Mr. whitney" one Of the
largest stockholders of "The Metro
politan Magazine" which had accepted
the plaintiffs story, and had it sup
pressed.
Obeyed Rasputin, He Says
In doing that, it is alleged by Tru-
fanof, Consul General 0ustinof also
was acting under the indirect orders
Of Rasputin (for, he asserts, the consul
general had first cabled Petrograd), and
Trufanoff has no doubts about the
identity Of the person who directed the
subsequent steps here.
Alleging that the Metropolitan Maga-
zine Company has violated a contract
under which he was to receive $4,000
for his story, he now asks an injunc-
ton to restrain It's publication by the
defendants and TO prevent them from
making any use Of his material already
furnished them. He also wants the
court TO enjoin the magazine company
from hampering him in making sucn
use of his story as he sees MT Be
sides he demands $4,000 damages, that
being the difference between the con-
tract price and the $4,000 which he re-
ceived in advance.
TrufanoF INSERTS that in his nego-
tiations with the Russian Consulate he
received $1,000, and he says he was
careful to give his receipt for 1t, for ne
nos anxious that there be q record OF
tbo transaction. This he wished 10
turh 70 his own advantage, he says as
be;np proof of the efforts to suppress
mis- story. o, sf+er
his arrival in this country from kus-
sis he got into touch with Henry j.
Whigham, president Of the Metropoii.

wss made. which provided that he was

q MI Tobenkin was sent to his Bronx
home by the magazine company to take
notes on his revelations and then put
them into English for publication.

The Adair County news., 1916-09-27

Candidate Hughes has found
an issue at last, of thinks he has,
and is working overtime to coun-
teract the effect of the call off of
the railroad strike, which is
proving so greatly to the advan-
tage of President Wilson and the
Democratic party. He calls it a
force bill and other ugly names
and says it does not establish an
eight hour day, but that in real.
ity it increases wages. Like the
OK who knoweth>his owner and
the ass his masters crib, Mr..
Hughes is talking for the benefit
of the railroads and Wall Street,
which believing that a servant is
worthy of his hire are putting up
millions to elect him; under the
impression that the Presidency
can be bought. This time at
least it will prove the truth OF
the old adage that fool and his
money is soon parted, with nc
returns for it. There are mill.
ions more railroad workers than
there are railroad owners and
they intend to pay Mr.. Wilson g
debt of gratitude that they anc
all laboring men owe.

There is no doubt that Mr..

make honest people rally to the
