Prince Felix Here
to Sell Snuff Boxes
Tells of Monks Killing

New York, Nov. GA tall, hand
some young man, dressed in a wasp.
wasted suit of latest Partisan cut
Prince Felix Youssoupoff, only male
scion of the Romanoffs ever to set foot
on these shores-arrived on the Beren-
garia today
He smilingly admitted he had been
member of the party of Russian no
Element who in December, 1916, slew
Gregory Rasputfn, monk confessor of
the late czarina. He added that he
came here to sell some ancient snuff
boxes and to visit friends.
Although readily admitting his par
ticipation. the prince was reluctant to
describe the details of the Staying of
the man who was reputed to have
risen from obscure origin to become
the power behind the throne of the
Russian empire through an almost
hypnotic influence over the czarina.
He would say only that he was one
of the group who. supposedly impelled
by a patriotic desire to rid Russia of
it's evil genius. enticed Rasputin to the
Youssoupoff palace in Petrograd and
slew him.
He declared that he was not affiliat-
ed with any movement to restore to
power the Romanoff family, of which
his wife, the Princess Irene. who ar
rived with him today. is a member.
Prince Felix brought with him for
exhibition and sale a collection of Rus
sian antiques, including a necklace of
black pearls and some ancient snuff
boxes
I The prince said he would consult
with his lawyers about negotiations to
redeem two Rembrandt paintings
''The Portrait of Man" and 1.-The
Portrait of a Woman"-which he said
he had surrendered to Joseph L. Wide
ner, Philadelphia millionaire, two
years ago as collateral for a two and
one-half year loan of 100000 pounds.
Some critics dispute whether the paint
ings are Rembrandts or Vermeers.
He said he intended to ask Mr.. Wide
ner to return the. paintings in return
for the loan and interest. for they were
priced possessions of his family.
The Princess Irene is the daughter
of Grand Duchess Xenia. sister of the
late Gear Nicholas. and hence a rela-
tive of the ruling family of Great Bril-
tain. Accompanying her was the Bar
oness Wrangel. wife of the commander
of one of the White armies which tried
unsuccessfully' to overthrow the Soviet
power.
Edward T. Barnes. assistant solicit
or of customs, roughly estimated the
value of the princes jewels at $780,
coo. A week will be required for de-
tailed examination. Jewels which be-
longed to Catherine the Great and some
black pearl necklaces were regarded
as the most valuable pieces.

Washington. Nov. 23-Appealing
for harmony among Republican
members of the house, Representa-
tive Longworth, of Ohio, who is a
candidate for Republican leader, de-
clared in a letter made public to-
night that lack of teamwork would
enable the Democrats to do what
they pleased.
The communication, addressed to
house Republicans, called attention
to the party's 'slended majority" in
the next house, and emphasized
that Republican success at the polls
next year would depend largely up
on the record of the congress soon
TO meet. and that the ''main theatre
of political activity will be the house
of representatives in which most i'm
portant pieces of legislation must
originate"
Referring to the contest that has
developed between him and Repre-
sentative Graham of Illinois, for
leader, Mr.. Longworth declared he
was in the fight to stay, although
he had hoped the question, together
with others relating to the house or
ganization. might be determined
with substantial unanimity".
With the assistance Of a very
few men" on the Republican side,
out of sympathy with the organiza-
ton. Mr.. Longworth said. the Dem
ocrats would be in a position to con-.
troll house developments. He called
attention to the loss by the Repub-
licans of large number of their
best parliamentarians and fighting
men" while the Democrats. he added.
have lost none of their fighting
force and have a number of addit-
ions of great strength"
1.-THE speakers of the next house,
the letter said. Twill be Frederick II.
Gillette. of Massachusetts,. as able
and fair a speaker as has ever pre-
sided here. SO far as ] know no man
has even been suggested to oppose
him. and no respectable argument
can be made against his reelection"

the Master.
During the World-War. we had a
vision. the vision of international
amity and mankind dwelling in
brotherly love and peace. Moses
died on the mount: but the vision
Is impressed until a Joshua shall
make the vision a reality.
Is the struggle for existence pain
full? Does it seem to be all CON
fict? Does life seem not worth
the living? Get thee up unto the
mount of vision. Jesus proved that
His disciples might be where He
was not physically. but spiritually.
for He was yearning that the ioy
He felt might be in them. He was
on the mountain top Of holy Joy.
Get this vision. Let it not wane.
Make 1t real by expelling the wrong
ways of thinking and seeing that
make uLlappinees.
God with omnipotence is with
each of us to establish us in the
Holy Land of heavenly life where
every heart shall overflow with Joy.
The mountain top vision is given for
no other purpose than that we may
attain it. and as He led Israel into
Canaan so will He bring every one
who faithfully looks to Him into
the realization OF his spiritual
mountain top vision.
