Or. Knapp in his speech at the

vanced an idea that might be con
sideled and acted, upon by the
business men of Starkvilie. lie
states that in some Of the towns
in the Western Slate the merchants
and all business men closed their
places of business for two days in
the week and, devoted those two day
to looking after gardening, farm
ing etc. He said this did not in.
terfere with the volume of business
at all but. it consolidated tie bss..st !
ness of six days into four and gave
the business man two days to look
after outside interest. This looks
like feasible and profitable plan
for any town to adopt,
1t would be good for the Gust
omers as we'll as the merchtnt. In-
stead of stretching your business
ont through the entire week of six
days it would condense it into for
days, thus saying two days for
other pursuit, 1t would, however
have to be agreed upon unani
mousIy, by all business men OF
the town.

London. Jan. S.-The morning news
papers in their Petrograd dispatches
to-day feature stories Of the reported
death OF Gregory Rasputin. the Rus
sian monk who exercised such infu-
enee over Emperor Nicholas. Tho re-
ports Of the death Of Rasputin evi-
IDENTIFY are making a stir in Russia, not
only on account Of his personality, but
owing to allegations that two persons
of exalted RANK and a we'll known for
mer member Of the Duma were con-
cerned in his taking Off.
The general assumption in the stories
is that Rasputin was murdered. and
some OF the accounts say unqualifiedly
that he was. According TO one story.
two young aristocrats drove in an au-
tomobile at night to a house on korok-

which take the place of the regular tor

eral mines are fired together from the

cause Of three plungers connected to a
percussion cap are exploded instanta-
neously on contact. These floating
mines. have been stfewn in the paths
OF oncoming steamers, even after their
course was believed TO have been CT
fectively cleared by mine sweepers. As
these mines are comparatively small,
one submarine can carry from fifty TO
seventy-fve, not including many small
bombs and shells for the disappearing
guns located fore and aft.
MANY vessels, including the giant
hospital ship Britannia, are believed 10
have been destroyed through mines laid
by these submarines.
Captain Baron also told OF the Nieuw
Amsterdam's narrow escape from being
blown up by mine while entering Fal-
mouth harbor. He said that an hour
before the liners arrival in the English
port mine sWeepers were sent out by
the British Admiralty TO sweep the en-
trance OF the harbor.
A scant half hour before the liner
arrived on December 21 one Of the mine
sweepers, which was directly in the
path which his ship would take, was
blown up, seven of the crew Of eleven
being killed by the explosion. Another
mine sweeper was Immediately dis
patched to warn the liner TO change
her course and precede the liner into
port. -.
Captain Baron stated that the de-
struction of the mine sweeper WAS an
other instance of Germany's campaign
to carry on an effective blockade OF
all English ports. II is only recently
that mines have been placed directly at
the entrance Of harbors, the Germans
hitherto having contented themselves
bv placing mines in steamer channels
some distance from land.

SPAIN DENIES SENDING
HARSH NOTE TO BERLIN
U-Bost Demands We're Made Only in
Statement TO Press

statement 10 TEcsS
Washington, Jan. 2-Spain's recent
note to Germany on the submarine
question was authoritatively described
to-day as not having been as severe as
press dispatches from Madrid indi-
Gated
Confidential information received
here, together with statement issued
by the Spanish Embassy, indicates that
the published version confused the note
with an official statement concerning
the situation given TO the Spanish
newspapers at the time the note was
dispatched.
The Spanish Embassy's statement fol-
lows:
1T is not correct that the Spanish
government has addressed a note to
Germany, upon the submarine contro-
versy, in the terms reported by the
American press on December 80.
"The Spanish government merely
gave to the Spanish press an official
statement concerning the attitude Of
Spain since the beginning OF the war
upon the question of the sinking Of
Spanish vessels by submarines, in or
der to make clear its position and TO
rectify errors in public opinion at
home
Press dispatches describing the note
were TO the effect that Spain had de
manded observance Of the Declaration
of London, and that her protest was
more energetic than that of any other
neutral. including the United States.

with increased appropriations for
trucks and decreased appropriations for
pneumatic tubes. Mayor Mitchers
plea, pointing out the enormous num-
Der Of deaths caused in New York by
auto trucks and his assertion that the
mail trucks were the worst offenders,
was absolutely ignored.
The bill carries an appropriation of
S449,500 for tubes, as compared with
that Of s976,5O0 in last years measure.
Tomorrow Representative Tsgue, of
Massachusetts, will introduce a minor
ity report, urging continuance of pneu-
matte service, which will be signed by
several dissenting members of the

There is promise OF battle royal
