storms OF controversy have ragged
in recent years over phrases in the
commandments which it is aimed 20

not now use the full decalogne and
substitute the alternative provided
by the prayerbook.
Thus, instead OF rehearsing the
Ten Commandments they have said:
Hear what. our Lord. Jesus
christ. saith: Thou shalt love the
Lord Thy God with an thy heart and
with all thy soul and with all they
mind. This is the first and greatest
commandment. and the second is
like unto Il: Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself on these two
commandments hang all the law
and the prophets"
Under the short form OF COM

changed. The second leaves out all
after the words Thou shalt not bow
down TO them nor worship them "
The third is cut 20 Thou shalt not

BY Associated Press TO Every Evenins.

Ekaterinburg. Russia, Jan. 25--(By
MaiD-Alexandra, the late Empress of
Russia. never ceased to chafe under
her Imprisonment In this city. where
she was finally executed, but the late
Emperor Nicholas showed more calm
ness and indifference to his fate.
A little booklet recently issued by
p. Bykoff. former chairman OF the
Bkaterinburg Soviet, gives many in
innate glimpses at the imperial family
during the months they were prisoners
of the Bolsheviki in this city just pre-
ceding their execution IN July, 1918
When the Car and his wife and part
OF his family were transferred from
Tobolsk TO Ekaterinburg by the Soviet
government residence I'm tho center
OF the city was assigned TO them. 1t
was in the basement Of this building
that they were shot A half-prison
regime was established, which did not
interfere with the activities OF the i'm
perial family in their own quarters.
Before the Romanoffs were permit
ted TO enter their new quarters the
guards searched them. Alexandra pro-
tested bitterly and offered physical re-
sistance. The Emperor submitted Will
ingly. but wRs greatly perturbed. He
paced the room while the search was
proceeding and exclaimed, THE devil
knows what Il means, Up to now
we have met courteous people and
have had decent treatment"
According TO Bykoff, the Soviet Of
ficials made II clear to the Romanoffs
a% C-f
and threats TO isolate the Emperor
from his family II he offered criticism
silenced him.
Nicholas soon realized we We're not
joking" says the book, and submit
ted uncomplainingly-r the demands
OF the commandant in charge of the
house. He made few efforts to chat
with the guards. but Alexandra never
ceased breaking rules"
The Romanoffs We're permitted 10
select their own hours for walking in
the garden, where all sorts of tools
were available IL they cared to take
more vigorous physical exercise. Two
meals a day were supplied to them
| from 'the best Soviet kitchen in
Ekaterinburg" and they were given a
gasoline primus. or stove. upon which
| they could heat their food.
Food packages We're forbidden tc
the imperial family. but Bykoff says
"the sisters in the local convent an
noyed the guards greatly by sending
parcels of biscuits and other delicacies
which we're distributed among the sol
diers."
On Easter the imperial family asked
permission to attend church. TIKI.

admitted to their quarters to hold
