Two MISSING MEN.
One Wanted BY Sheriff and Other BY
His Friends.

Barre is 4 port of missing men just
now with county and municipal authori
ties searching here for James Power:
and John Watkins, the one Jail break
er, and the other long time employe oi
the city water department and a man
of steady habits, The disappearance
came about under widely variant circum-
stances and local interest centers about
the absence OF Watkins. In the case OF
Powers, there is the natural motive OF
the Jail breaker, but Watkins disappear
ance Is the more mysterious because his
acquaintances are wholly at loss to
explain it,
Early Friday morning occupants of
exAlderman Michael keefe's house on
Foster street, detecting the odor of
smoke, went to an upper-story room
which Watkins. as a lodger had occu-
pied for nearly eight years. The bed
was ablazc and before the fire could be
extinguished aid had been summoned
from the fire station. Watkins was miss
ing and an open window with tracks i'll
the snow below indicated his means OF
progress The tracks led into the street
and were lost. Real concern is felt over
his absence at the office of the water de-
partment and last night the police were
asked to aid in efforts to locate him.
Alarm over the mans disappearance is
accentuated by the fact that he was
a steady worker, of good habits, and al
ways punctual. The fear that he may
have become temporarily unbalanced
seems uppermost This morning the po-
lice conducted careful search along the
river bank. but no tracks were found and
the only thing of any account to be seen
was colored handkerchief under the
railroad bridge on Blackwell street. The
was picked up on the edge
Of the ice, where the current flows swift
".
Powers, sentenced from Barre in De.
,ember for an intoxication charge, had
been working in BENEFITS lumber lot on
he Montpelier road while a prisoner at
he jail. One day this week he airily
.ossed his dinner pail into the river and
started for Barre. Yesterday deputies |
rom the Jail and the Barre police joined |

TOLD TRUTH TO CAR.
Forthwith Grand Duke Michaelovitch was
Banished.

London March 24.-"The' Grand Duke
Nicholas MichaeIovitch says Times
dispatch from Petrograd, was banished
to his estates in December for telling
| Emperor Nicholas the truth concerning

Rasputin scandal. The grand duke re.
lates how he was moved much more dur.

and when, fearing he had gone too far
he said to the emperor, Now call your
Cossaeks; have me killed and buried in
your garden the emperor merely smiled
and thanked him.
"A few days later the emperor wrote
the grand duke a note ordering and i'm
ploring him to retire to his country seat.
Before retiring to the country the grand
duke wrote a letter to the emperor"
The text of the letter is printed by
The Times. Following are some extracts
from il:
"You have proclaimed frequently your
will to continue the war to a victorious
end. Are you sure the present condition
of the country permits this? Are you
acquainted with affairs within the en-

"Your manner of choosing ministers
was known in close circles and things
could muddle along, but when they be-
came a matter of public knowledge and
all classes talked about them. 1t was a
senseless attempt to continue to govern
Russia in this fashion. You often told
me you could put faith in NOBODY and
