Hang Themselves in Gallup Jail With
Rope Attached to Beds.

Santa Fe. n. M.-Maria Cuevas and
Silverio Silva, convicted of murder
and sentenced to hang Dec. q, defeat
ed justice by hanging themselves in
the Mckinley county Jail at Gallup.
Using a rope smuggled into the prison,
each mar attached it to the bed and
strangled himself. Life was extinct
when the bodies were discovered by
the Jail officials.
Letters signed by both prisoners
said they did not intend to be hung
by the state, would rather have faced
a firing squad, and asked for respect
able burial. In another note, Cuevas
~bequeathed his guitar to a prisoner in
the Jail.
The men were MeXicans. Cuevas
was convicted of killing another Mex
lean at a dance last May. Silva was
to pay the death penalty for killing a

The American consul at Tiflis, in
the Russian Caucasus, recently sent a
report which was received in Wash
ington, Dec. s, stating that a rumor
was in circulation that former EN-
peror Nicholas had escaped. The
message made it clear that there was
no confirmation and there has been
nothing since received cCnfirmatOry
of the report until the Petrosrad adj
vices.
Tobolsk is in Siberia, about 1900
miles east of Moscow, For some time
after the outbreak of the revolution
and the monarch's deposition, he,
with his family, was confined in the
royal palace at Tsarskoe-Selo. On
Aug. 10, however, the Russian pro-
visional government announced that
he had been transferred to Tobolsk,
together with the members of his
family and his suite. At first he was
quartered in the governors palace in
the town of TobOlsk, but on Oct. IL
it was given out that he and his fam
lily had been transferred to a monas-
terry situated about twenty miles out
side. Tobolsk is 1000 miles from the
Pacific coast and 1000 miles from the
Chine q border.
On the other hand there were I'M
confirmed reports in November of a
political overturn in Siberia which
had made the vast province a land
friendly to the former ruler. The re-
port, which came through Finland,
said that Siberia had declared it's in
dependence and had proclaimed Mich
Olas its emperor.
The effect of the escape upon Boil
sheviki plans for the future course of
Russia could scarcely be even sur
missed, so enigmatic in many ways has
been the recent course of the Lenine-
Trotzky government in P%etrograd,
which now appears to be getting the
upper hand in many parts of the coun-
try outside the northern counties,
overcoming the opposition of the
more conservative elements.

towards the desired goal is being
made by the allies, despite some un-
toward occurrences, is the firm con-
viction of Premier Lloyd George, he
declared Friday. 1t is because of this
fact, the premier said, that he would
regard peace overtures to Prussia at
the moment when her military spirit
was drunk with boastfulness as a be
trayal of the trust of himself and his
colleagues.
If Russia persists in her present
policy, the premier pointed out, the
withdrawal by the enemy from the
East of a third of his troops must re-
lease hundreds OF thousands of men
and masses of material to attack
Great Britain, France and Italy.
ut would be folly" he added, ito
underrate the danger, equal folly to
exaggerate it, and the greatest folly
of all not to face it.
"If the Russian democracy has de-
cided to abandon the struggle against
military autocracy the American dem
ocracy is taking it up"
Germany's victories were emblaz-
oned to the world, the premier said.
but her troubles did not appear in bull
letins. Something was known OF
them, 'towever.
The deadly grip of the British navy
was having it's effect and the valor
of the troops was making an impress
sion which would tell in the end.
He said those who during The past
fortnight were organizing a nervous
breakdown in the nation were the
same as those who recently were or
ganizing an hysterical shout over the
Flanders victories.
Mr.. Lloyd George said he was glad
TO understand that Lord Lands
downe's recent letter had been misun-
derstood and that Lord Landsdowne
was in agreement with President Will
son.
81 ALSO" the premier declared,
"agrec with President Wilson and do
not desire to force a controversy
where none existed"
81 warn the nation to watch the
who thinks there is a halfway
house between victory and defeat" the
premier admonished. "These are the
who think you can end the war
now by some sort of what they call
peace-by setting up a league of ma
tons. That is the right policy after
victory-without victory it would be a
Victory, declared the premier, vas a
question Of tonnage. Germany was
gambling upon Americas failure to
transport her army to Europe. The
future of the world depended upon the
efforts Great Britain and America
make to increase their output next
year, he declared. The food imports
next year, ne said, in this connection,
must be reduced 3,OOO,O 900 tons by in
home production and econ
Omy.
Premier Lloyd George said that a
call must be made on the nation for
great sacrifices, and more fighting
men were needed until the American
arrive to offset the burden that
had been cast on the allies by the de-
of Russia and the reverses in
Italy,

Too Many Servants in Britain.

Duncan Miller asked the minister Of
national service, says the London
Times. whether his attention has been
called to the number of advertisements
for servants in households Of one, two
or three persons, where sever to ten
indoor servants are already kept, and
whether he proposes to limit the num-
her of indoor servants employed in
each household. The minister of ma
tional service replied that he had al
ready pointed u how essential it is,
in the national interest, that no per-
son should employ more servant than
are absolutely necessary. The min
lister trusts that the awakened con-
sciences of those who have in this
respect failed TO appreciate their duty
will provide an immediate and suffi-
cient remedy. If not, he will tell his
plan in the general statement on man
power.
