the revolution swept the Romanoff
dynasty from the throne, to take the
monarch into custody.
"The arrest was without incident"
said NJ. Rublokoff, 'for the reason
that the emperor was so feeble that

1T was a pathetic moment when l
came before the emperor, for he had
just received a letter from the
empress informing him Of the illness
of two of their children
"As ! entered the emperor turned
to me and said that he was so weak
that he could not read the letter until

PASTOR CHARGED
SMUGGLING NOTE
[Repubiicap A. p. Leased Wire1

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 1.-THE
Rev. b. Henry Leesman. pastor of st.
Pauls Evangelical church of Ogden,
was arrested Sunday night by the
military authorities of the third war
prison camp at Fort Douglas, and
charged with having tried to smuggle
into the compound a written COM
munication from a woman to an
enemy alien interned there. The
arrest of the ogden pastor was not
made known until today. He is held
in the city Jail pending investigation.
According to Colonel George Byram
Of the prison camp, Mr.. Leesman was
caught handing a note written in
German to one of the sailor interns,
with instructions to this man to read
the letter and convey the informa-
ton verbally to one of the, civilian
prisoners, whose name the officers at
the camp are Withholding. The prison
authorities also refuse to give out
the contents of the letter at this
time.
Leesman sought to clear himself
after his arrest, according to the
authorities, but told number Of con-
flicting stories, finally admitting his
agency in the plot to get secret COM
munication from the woman in the
case, whose name is also withheld, to
the civilian prisoner.
