DETAILS OF RAsPUTIN DEATH.
Monk Who Welded Evil Influence Over
Gar Told to Shoot Himself.

Petrograd, Jan. 3, via London. Jan.
Q Idelayedl.-New and more dramatic
versions of the death of Gregory Ras
Dutin. the Russian monk who exercised
great influence over the members of
the royal family, and first conjectures
as to the nature of the plot which sue

powerful and picturesque of the dark

attempting to poison the internal life of
Russia have only heightened the SEN
sation caused by the first news of Ras-

is now definitely known that the as
sassination was only one of a series of
attempts upon Rasputin's life.

times miscarried. But circumstances
peculiarly favored the plot arranged
for early Saturday morning. and from
recent information in the hands of the
authorities they have been able TO re

took place at that time.
shortly after midnight Rasputin.
who was sitting alone in his house in
Petrograd. received a telephone call
from the house of Prince Iussupoff.
The invita- ton proved particularly al
Turing and Rasputin accepted in the
best humor.
Soon afterward a young man called
for the monk at the rear entrance. The
night was extremely cold. and the long
OH 1, bx- q n concealed tho
costume which he had donned for the
occasion. consisting of dark baggy vel
vet trousers, tucked into high polished
boots. a silk blouse and bright colored
sash. The other wore conventional
evening dress. They two offered a
striking contrast as they quietly pro-
ceeded to the waiting automobile.
Rasputin was not long seated in the
house to which he had been invited be-
fore one OF the guests arose quietly and
offered revolver to him with the fol-
lowing words:
I'VE have decided that you must die.
Kill Yourself"
According TO the prevalent version.
Rasputin pointed the revolver at the
man who had offered ii to him. where
upon the other guests drew revolvers
and fired upon the monk. Rasputin
was struck twice in the chest and side.
and then bullet in the head killed
him instantly. His body was imniedi-
ately disposed Of, being dropped into
the Neya river
II was said today that those who had
participated in the crime would not be
prosecuted. One has already been al
lowed to leave Petrograd and. although
the other have been detained no ar
rests have been made.

( cline in hog prices.

I is recorded at western markets Skept-
! cism concerning legitimacy of current
prices is unwarranted. as eastern killers
are able to get few hogs near home

Eleven markets received l65.o00 hogs

half as many at Chicago: 800 more

Spring suits lie uppermost in the

and each one earnestly hopes to make
a happy choice for herself. 1t is not a

suits to be the best ever, and she

Georgette crepe and crepe de chine
reign together in the realm of blouse
fashions, the most favored of all ma

1t may be used for equal effective
ness for both tailored and costume
blouses, but georgette is medium
that designers revel in for developing
all the dressier bodiccs. In tailored

that light colors are shouldering
