LA SUGGESTION DEL rEA1LE
Una de las fguras que con mayor
relieve aparecen en- esos escritos fami-
l!ares es la de Aniavirobova, La amiga
confdsnte de la zarina, y al mismo
tempo lazo de union entire la Sobera-
ma do Rasputin, Quienes celebraron mu
chas de sus entrevistas en- casa de viro
bova. Goremykin, eel viejo'', como le
llama Ia zarina, es otro personaje de
frecuente menci6n en- esas cartas de
los que Sc deduce que era un hombre
al que Sc obligaba a obrar en- contra
de su prudents juicio.
Pero la fgura central es ssnuestro
amigo" Gregorio Rasputfn, cuyas Sc
mimisticas admoniciones son frecuent1
simas EN- las cartas de la Emperatriz,
que Iega a expresarse en- estos ter
minos:
''Siempre tengo en- la msnte 10 que
dice nuestro amigo, y icuantas veces
dejamos de prestar a sus palabras la
debida atenci6n!''
La carta que contiene esas frases
esta fechada en- JUNO de 1915. Y
continuation de 10 anterior Sc lee:
''Se mostraba Rasputn tan opuesto
tu marcha al Cuartel general, porQue
ALI la gente que tie rodea to induce a
realizar cosas que mas valera no hacer,
Aqui. en- tn hogar, Ell ambiente es mas
sano, y 81 volvieras pronto verfas La
realidad de una manera mas diafana.
No hablo. impulses de un sentimiento
egoista: es que me tiena en- inquietud
constants 10 que alguien madura. :.
Bien sabes que no tengo fe ninguna
en- N. (gran duqus Nicolas), que me
consta su falta de inteligencia, y sobre
todo que, por haber procedido contra
eel hombre de Dios'', su palabra no
puede ser berdecida nj acertado su
juicio.''
De vez en- cuando transcribia q Su
esposo breves homilias en- exaltado es-
tilo, que habia compuesto Eel hombre
de Dios" para confortsr Ell espiritu de
la zarina, Quien abrigaba la profunda
conviction de que todo auuel que aten
tase contra Rasputin recibiria el mas
severe castigo de la Providencia.
On dfa envi6 la Emperatriz Nicc-
las II cierto bast6n que habia usado
Ell monte. En- otra OCCASION pidi6 a vi
robova que le cediese parte del con-
tenido de una botella de vino, resto
de un presente que Rasputin habia ne
cho Ania con motive del cumpleafios
de La agasajada. La zarina bebi6 del
vino auuel, hizo beber a sus hijos )
le envi6 parte al Emperador, con el
sncargo expreso de que 10 consumiera.
La Zarina hace en- sus cartas men
ci6n constante de un peine regalado al
Emperador por Rasputin, y no cesa en-
la recommendation de q. use el peine an
tes de toda conversation de importan-
cia. porQue ella esta segura de que, 81
asi 10 hace, Dios ha de protegerlo.
Con frecuencia asoma la supersti-
ci6n en- esas cartas. Los dichos y an
danzas de Rasputfn SON para la Empe-
ratriz simbolo de Ia sanction divina, y
cree ojossc errados que de la sunni
sion a las revelaciones del monte de-
pende Ell porvenir de la dinastia y de
Russia.

BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING
Omaha Bec LAaSel Wire.

Washington, July latter being
admonished by President Harding to
settle their dispute, in default Of
which he said the government would
intervene to avert a fuel famine, 50
coal operators and mine union Of
fcials put in the hottest day so far
this summer trying to find basis
for negotiations to end the coal
strike.
When the conference called by
the president adjourned tonight it
appeared that little, if any, progress
had been mode in getting together
on a mode of procedure.
The session, which was held in
secret at the suggestion of the presi-
dent, was marked by a series of
clashes between John L. Lewis,
president, and other officers OF the
United Mine Workers on the one
hand and the operators of the strike
zone in the bituminous and anthra-
cite fields on the other.
Union Leaders Firm.
The union leaders held to their
contention that the only satisfactory
basis of settlement is either a ma
tional woge agreement or an agree
ment covering the central competi-
tive fields. The operators, with equal
obstinacy, held that they would not
be justified in making any but dis
trict or state agreements.
The conference is to meet again
tomorrow and Monday, and on July
4, if necessary, in the effort to lind
a common ground.
1--WE wish you who best know
the way to solution to reach it among
yourselves in a manner to command
the sanction of American public
opinion" said the president. Failing
in that, the servants of the Ameri-
can people will be called to the task

people, D
Urges Permanent Solution.
While settlement of the strike,
enabling full resumption OF coal
production is the immediate task OF
the conference, the president urged
the miners and operators to take
steps at this conference toward a
permanent solution of the problem OF
coal production and distribution.
The government" said the presi-
dent, "has no desire to participate
in a temporary makeshift' For the
good of all the people, the govern
ment Graves a way to permanent sta
bility, tranquility and periods OF EN-.

Dolds Lose Suit
to Retain Plant
Of Skinner Firm
Neville Wins Action to Regain
Building and Equip.
ment Leased on
Contract.

Keith Neville, receiver for the
Skinner Packing company, Saturday
won hotly contested suit he brought
to annul contract by which. the
Dold Packing company acquired the
Skinner plant.
A decision given Saturday by B. H.
Dunham, special master in chancery,
recommends that the order of annul-
ment be entered.
The Skinner company is declared
exempt from any losses the Dolds
may have suffered, but specifies the
Dolds are liable for rental of the
plant during their occupancy and are
entitled only to reasonable sum for
improvements made by them.
Not Liable for Losses.
His recommendation in full is as
follows:
THE master recommends that a
decree be entered in favor of the re-
ceiver and in favor of plaintiff stock
holders, annul!ing the contract of
October 26, 1920; that said decree
provide that the Skinner Packing
company is not liable to the Dold
Packing company for any losses sui
fered by it in operations under the
contract; that the Dold Packing COM
pany is liable for the reasonable rem
tai value of tine premises and prop
erty of the Skinner Packing conf
pany during tine period of occupancy
thereof by the Dold company (Which
rental value shall be determined upon
further hearing and an account
ing between the two companles),
and that the Dold Packing company
is entitled to credit for the reason
able value of such changes, altera-
tons or improvements as have been
made by the Dolds during their
occupancy of the Skinner plant, and
which such changes constitute better
ments in said plant"
Bill of Exception Allowed.
A bill of exceptions is allowed for
the Dolds to appeal the case, Federal
Judge Woodrough stated.
"The master found that the con-
tract made between the Dolds and
Paul F. Skinner was unfair to the
stockholders, so he was entitled to
set it aside" said Woodrough. He
stated the receiver was not guilty OF
"laches" as charged by counsel for
Dold.
The receiver charged Jacob and
Ralph Dold with failure to live up
to the contract and with misrepre-
sentations. Counsel for Dold ques-
toned the jurisdiction of the court
in this case and the receivers right
to fight for annulment of contract
which predated his appointment as
receiver.
More than $5OO,0OO is involved.
The masters report specifically
exonerates Jacob Doid personally
from any charges Of false representa-
ton.
