THE GEARS LAST DAYS

The world has twice given an ac-
count of the awful treatment that
the royal family of Russia received
in their last days. The mother OF
the late ear was frequently in
formed that the family was in COM
Portable exile. She is alone in her
old age and homeless.
AS many of you know, the car
and family were taken to a fairly
comfortable home for a time. Then
events transpired that made the in
sUrgents believe that there was a
plot to put them on the throne. The
BoIsheviki had acted so cruelty that
many of the Russians saw that they
were out of one bondage into some
thing worse.
The house occupied in Elkaterin-
burg has since been occupied by
General Gaida as his headquarters.
There were weeks of mental and
physical anguish for the car and
his unfortunate family. There were
first nineteen men from factories de-
tailed as guards. THE czarina and
her daughters had to submit to fiend-
ish attentions, which are a part of
Bolshevism," says the official report.
They had bare rooms with a table
and one bed for five ladies, the car
and crown prince. The guards Jared
Sumptuously downstairs and often
when the food was taken up to the
prisoners the Suard would run his
fingers through it, or spit into it and
tell them all sorts of nasty things.
The car was the only one really
to be imprisoned at first, but the
wife and children begged to share
his exile, and later when he was re-
moved to his last prison they also
begged to go, though they knew it
meant death.
The evidence given the world is
the result of much labor and search
by the anti-Bolshevik government,
and has been proved Many plans
for removing the family were dis
cussed, among others wrecking the
train. The destination of the trav-
lers was unknown to them. They
hoped for aid from the allies or Ger
many.
The report says: 'The climax of
the tragedy came in the early morn
ing hours of July II. Before o'clock
the commissaries of Ekaterinburg
entered the house and gave orders
for the imperial prisoners to be told
that their hour was come. The car
was such a light sleeper that he
heard the advent of his guard, but
the others had to be wakened. Hasti-
Iy wasting and dressing, they went
down to the ground floor. They were
lined up in a semi-circle. The young
girls trembling at the unusual hour
and order. Yorndesky made no effort
to soften his words. Addressing the
car, he said the hour had come and
all would die at once.
81 am ready" was the simple an
swer of the czar. The wife, clinging
to him, loosened her hands and made
the sign of the cross, an example
followed by the oldest daughter,
Olga, and DR.. Botllin. The cZarovitch

Answer-Just tell the boy plainly
and positively that you do not care
to have him call on you again, and
if he persists, refuse to see him when
he does come. If the dances which
you attend are also attended by
other friends and older girls, and
your parents do not object to your
going alone, I see no objection,
though it is more fun for a party
of young people to go together, and
perhaps a little bit wiser.

Doctor jailed for Debt
Henry ". Brody Also Is Taxed
$40 Costs in Hearing of
Application

Justice Lydon yesterday denied the
application Of DR.. Henry W. Brody to
be released from Bronx County Jail,
where he has been since July on a
s45, 900 Judgment obtained by Jacob
Jacobson for injuries suffered when he
was hit by the physicians automobile.
Besides denying DR.. Brody's motion,
the court taxed him $40 costs.
Dr.. Brody lives at 4713 Fourteenth
Avenue, Brooklyn, and has an Office at
266 East Broadway, Manhattan. He
said in his petition that he is "a physi-
clan and surgeon Of prominence and is
connected with many public institu-
tions."
Mr.. Guttman, attorney for Jacobson,
told the court that most of the state
ments made by DR.. Brody in his petit
tion, as we'll as in his examination,
were untrue. Mr.. Guttman also called
to the attention of Justice Lydon the
statement of Justice Tierney, who pre-
sided at the trial Of the Jacobson ac-
ton. that the justice had never heard
so much perjury committed by de-
fendant, and added that he thought of

Southern girls who reside at the hotels.
Other members OF Congress arc also
receiving visits from the girl employees

finished for occupancy less than year
ago, and did not become self-sustaining
until last April. The project was un-

"While nothing definite has been
done about the disposition Of the Plaza
Hotels: many of US are alarmed" said

every Congressman we can to oppose
any action which will take the prop

that local real estate influence is be-

not look favorably on our dormitories.
