CARS OWN PROPERTY

An air of mystery surrounds 1l19
Sixteenth street, the home of for
mer Russian ambassadors to the
United States and one of the most
imposing mansions in Washington.
1t is an embassy without a coun-
try" the solitary monument of the
days when His Imperial Majesty
Car Nicholas ruled in Russia. The
magnificent rooms, once the scene
of the lavish hospitality by ambas-
sadors from the Imperial Govern
ment, are now used as Offices by
minor officials of the present en-
bassy staff. Occasional visitors at
the mansion are received at the
door by a shabby. doorkeeper, In
stead OF the gorgeous fiunkies OF
days past
At the time Of the overthrow of
the imperial government and the
execution of the royal family the
post of His Majesty's ambassador to
the United States was held by
George Bakhmeteff. and the role of
hostess at the Sixteenth street man
sion was filled by his lovely Ameri-
can wife, the former Mary Beale OF
Washington, sister of the late John
r. Mclean. When the news of
Nicholas's death was received by
Ambassador Bakhmeteff, the family
Immediately deserted the embassy,
and established their residence in
Washington as private citizens.
Since then they have left the United
States and are making their home
in Paris, where they will remain un-
til their return to this country.
Bakhmetens Not Related.
The new ambassador, curiously
enough. was also a Bakhmeteff.
though the George Bakhmeteffs in
sisted that the Boris Bakhmeteffs
were absolutely no relation to
them. Naturally the two families,
representing as they did two gov
ernments and two ideas of gov
ernment, were not the best of
friends and diplomatic Washing
ton had to watch its step" to keep
from bringing the two together at
social functions.
The embassy building had be-
longed personally to the Gar, and
Boris Bakhmeteff felt some hesi-
fancy in making the mansion his
home. Consequently he established
his residence elsewhere and the
stately mansion became an Office
building.
The Boris Bakhmeteffs were the
representatives of the national
democratic government of Russia
and received their appointment to
the United States from Kerensky.
Shortly after their arrival in Wash
ington and before they had time to
become really settled in their new
post their government fell and
kerensky was reported slain.
Later reports reached this coun-
try that the leader had escaped
and was hiding in London, working
as a waiter in an obscure cafe in
the English capital. The story has
never been verified, and half a
dozen others have risen to account
for the disappearance Of the fallen
leader. but the Boris Bakhmeteffs
remain in Washington as the rep
resentatiyes of the supposed Lon
don waiter and the government that
does not exist.
The State Department has recog-
nized them as the accredited repre-
sentatives of Russia, but lately il
has been rumored that the United

Editor Tribune:--Noting your

the general tone OF the same, I feel
that It may be OF interest to state
that I had a copy OF the letter and
that II represents my sentiments cor

several other supporters of Senator
Gore in the primary election. 1t is
strange that the question Of the au-
Ahenticity OF the letter should be
questioned While Senator Gore him
self confined his comment on the
election to the brief statement in
which he said he had run handi-
cap race" those OF us who had the
honor Of fighting with him and los
ing have none the less a right 10
resent the aspersions cast upon
him and us, before and after the

As Senator owen was quoted in

way In which parties can be COM

the manhood to resent such insults
