WHEN ARRESTED CAR
TOO WEAK TORESPOND

New York. Feb. l3.-Speaking
last night at u dinner attended by
delegates to the All-RussIan conven-
tion. In session here, A. A. Bublikoff
former member OF the executive
committee OF the provisional Rus
sian duma. told OF the arrest OF En-
peror Nicholas.
VI. Bublik0n was chosen to go to
the front. where the emperor was
comforting with his generals and take
the monarch into custody.
The arrest was without incident. E"
said NJ. BublIkoff. FOR the reason
that the emperor was 80 feeble that
a child might have done what | did
THE news OF the overthrow OF the
government had preceded me to the
front. and | was able to enter the
emperor's quarters without trouble.
II was a pathetic movement when !
came before the emperor, for he had
just received letter from the en-
press. informing him OF the Illness
OF two OF their children. As I en-
tered the emperor turned to me and
said that he was so weak that he
could not read the letter until he
had cup OF tea. waited for him
to drink his tea, and then placed him
under arrest. He was a very willing
and submissive prisoner.
Politically, Nicholas Romanoff Is
dead In Russia. No one now hears
lis name spoken"
