NICHOLAS
ESCAPES,
IS RUMOR

(Un1teO prcSS Leased Wlrc.)
. (By United Press.) Q
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-That
Gar Nicholas had escaped from
his place Of confinement in Siberia
was the rumor the American con-
sui at Tiflis reported to the state
department today.
The departments advices gave
no details, and there was nothing
to confirm the rumor.
Nicholas, following his de-
thronement by the revolution last
spring, was spirited out of Petro-
grad to the small prison village of
Tobolsk in Siberia. He was re-
ported to have been housed there
under heavy guard, accompanied
by his wife and three children.
Their home was set up in SIMPLE
ity that contrasted sharply with
their former splendor, in q large
house in Tobolsk.
Recently a statement purported
to have been made by the deposed
car thru a neighboring monkery
disclaimed any intention of seek
ing to regain the throne. But or
ficials here have never ceased to
speculate on the possibility that
out of the present chaos in Rus
STA the monarchists might not at
tempt to liberate the car.
