! FORMER CzAh E | CURI0SITY
 TO NATIVES

PETROGRAD, Nov 30.-(By maiD Efforts of the family of Nicholas Romanoff, the deposed emperor, to live in seclusion in Tobolsk, Siberia, and the curiosity displayed by the Tobolsk natives toward the former royal family of Russia, was described by a correspondence of the Novo Vremya writing from the Siberian city to which the Romanoffs were sent. 1t was because of this curios- ity on the part of the people that the former emperor and his family were transferred to the Abolak monastery, fourteen miles from Tobolsk.
 The Romanoffs occupied in Tobolsk the house of the governor, which was guarded by soldiers day and night. In the day time, the Romanoff child ren were often seen summing them selves on the balcony and reading books, one in @ little white hat and the other with uncovered head show ing the short hair cut after an at tack of typhoid fever. Generally a few curious persons leaned against the p2lings of the fence surrounding the governors house watching what transpired within but not interfering with the inhabitants A special gate had been constructed Heading iron the house to the garden but the child ren seldom used it as they were sh, of meeting the Tobolsk public. Thi' ' garden was small but full of beauti ful flowers. Other members of tn Romanoff family occasionally strolle'
 through this little garden.
The Cordova daily times., 1917-11-30

Not long after the royal exiles ar riyea in Siberia, instructions were received from Petrograd directing that the municipal garden be placed at their disposal and that passage be constructed through it to tfie near by church so that the Rofnanoffs could attend divine service. The gar den was ordered to be closed to the public while the Romanoffs used it.
 When the former emperor, his wife and children went to the church re- gently, great number of people gath cred outside the gates of the govern or's house to watch their passage. A guard of soldiers lined the street. The former Empress, Alexandra Alix, was wheeled in chair to the gate of the garden, dressed in gray and wear ing small black hat. She appeared ill or exhausted. Behind walked Mich olas in military dress, and behind him the former crown prince walking be- tween his two elder sisters. Then followed the other two sisters and the former royal suite, all walking with hurried steps and lowered heads trying to avoid the gaze of the pub lie. On reaching the gate leading from the municipal garden Alexandra Alix rose and, together with Nicho las hurriedly crossed the street and entered the church.

BUCKET BRIGADE ON
 RESERVATION IS NO MORE

SANTA ROSA, Cal, Nov. 30.-The bucket brigade among the Indians in the McDowell valley reservation near here will soon be discharged with thanks For years the brigade brought all of the water to the reservation from several large springs near by, but to the Indians, many of whom are fairly well educated, this method is too primitive. They have now SC cued 6,000 feet of pipe and 100 gal lon tank from the government, and are busy installing their own water 1 system with the fluid piped to eacf "tepee," as the Indians insist on call ing their reservation homes.

Handle Situation Well.

The perfect order kept by the gem
eral public and the smoothness with
which every detail connected with the
success of the honor parade yester-
day worked out, is a practical tribute
| to the general efficiency of the Wash
ington police force.
Many comments on the quietly-run-
ming and well-worked- out manner in
! which everything took place yester-
day came not only from the specta-
tors who were present at the parade,
! but also from many of the marchers,
| some OF whom had appeared in pre-
vious paroles, and were accustomed
to waiting an hour or two after the
appointed time before taking their
place in the line of march
The trim and neat appearance and
| the efficient manner in which the
crowds were handled by the blue
coats should be laid at the door of
the superintendent of the police force
Maj. Pullman gave special orders be-
fore the parade that officers of the
District police force were 10 appear
in the neatest order possible. Spe-
cial instructions regarding the han
cling OF the crowds, 1t is understood,
also emanated from the office of the
superintendent.
The wiseacres who predicted that
the President would meet his death
in exposing himself to the possibility
of an assassination by a political
fanatic, saw their prophecies fall
through the ground when the Presi-
dent came marching around the turn
from Fifteenth street into the home
stretch of the parade safe and sound.
The police stationed along the line
of march received great assistance
from the troop of cavalry detailed TO
do mounted police duty. and from the
Boy Scout troops who lent great help
in delivering messages and keeping
the crowd within its bounds.

"The most orderly parade and
the least annoying from the
police point of view ever held In
the city of Washington"
This was the verdict given
last night to Herald reporter
by Mai. Raymond w. Pullman.
