And Yet More Trouble! +!

AS if the Democrats were not con-
fronted with enough embarrassments
difficulties and complications in their
coming national convention over the
selection Of a presidential candidate,
here come the Underwood managers
with a threat to go on the convention
floor with a demand for an anti-Ku
klux Klan plank. Another pinch of
emery in the bearings, one more
monkey wrench in the machinery.
The demand for seats in the conven-
ton hall to witness the inevitable
shindy ought to increase two-fold. The
Underwood managers assuredly have
their courage with them in such an
undertaking. The primaries in Indiana
a few days ago showed the existence
of pronounced klan strength in the
Republican party in the Hoosier state,
and it would be thought it exists
among Democrats as well.
But if the project is carried out it
will show the consistency of Senator
Underwood. He started early in his
campaign for the nomination to throw
defiance at the Klan. He has been
taking punishment at their hands ever
since. His idea is that the party
should do battle with the Klan openly
as he is waging it.
If the demand is made for an anti
klan plank by the party the whole
question will come to an issue, al
though some political heads may be
broken in the doing Of it.

were buried deep in Siberia q mes
senger reached them with news that
the cable had been successfully laid.
This contact with Siberia developed
an interest in that strange and then
unknown land, and thenceforward
Kennan Travelled widely there and
wrote voluminously about it.
In Kennan's day Siberia was the
land OF Russian exile, the land of
cruelty and torture, Of mystery, Of
slow death for those who sought to
oppose the tyranny Of the Russian
regime. Kennans writings made for
a profound American sentiment
against Russia in this country. They
widened the horizons Of the American
people. In after years he went into
other fields, and all he wrote was re-
ceived with eagerness by the Ameri-
can reading public. He was an ac-
curate observer, faithful recorder
and always an interesting chronicler.
George Kennan made history as well
as wrote it.

Tulips.

Takoma Park has closed its tulip
show. Nearly everybody in that sub
urb visited the library where the gay
flowers were on exhibition, and there
was distribution Of prizes and much
learned discussion Of tulips. At this
time Of year tulips bloom their bright.
est in the public parks, and they
are particularly happy in the suburbs.
There they get the attention which is
their due. People stop to admire them
and to make comment on their beauty,
for there are few tulips, perhaps there
are none, without some charm.
All flowers have history, and
some flowers have long and wonder.
full history. 1t is not known that tulips
were blooming for those early ancients
for whom the rose and carnation
bloomed, but tulips were probably
showing their colors in gardens in the
east when Persians thought they were
making ready to annex Greece. It is
almost certain that when Alexander
carried war to the east he saw beds

tulip tribe moved from Constantinople
to Vienna early in the sixteenth CEN
tury and then to Holland.
1t was in Holland that the tulip cut
its wide swath in history. Men went
tulip mad. Thousands Of people specu-
lated in tulips and thought they were
investing. Fortunes were made and
then lost. 1t is told that for one bulb
$4,000 was paid by a stock company
which planned to propagate that
species and make millions for its
stockholders. Even in those honest
days tulip stock companies that did
not own a tulip got out prospectuses
and sold stock to credulous folk. The
government sought to regulate tulip
companies and tulip speculation, and
at length the tulip boom blew up, as
is the fashion with most booms. In
the tulip panic many rich people were
made poor and many poor people
were made poorer.
For nearly 300 years Holland was
the tulip country, but 1t is said that
there are American tulips as fine as
any in the world. No doubt the Ia
koma tulip show was as bright as any
thing Of the kind ever held at Ant
werp or Leyden, if they hold tulip
shows in those cities. Takoma and
Brookland tend more strongly toward
flower shows than Mount Pleasant,
Cleveland Park or Chevy Chase and
we will soon be reading stories Of the
Brookland rose show.

Memorial Bridge.

Early consideration of the Memorial
bridge bill by the Senate seems likely.
Senator Fernald of Maine, in report
ing the bill favorably from the com
mittee on public buildings and
grounds, urged that the measure be
considered and enacted at the earliest
time possible. 1t is believed that the
sentiment Of the Senate favors the
construction OF the bridge according
to the design of the Memorial Bridge
Commission. Senator Fernald told the
Senate that outside Of Washington
there is much interest in the measure
and strong support for it. There is
widespread interest in the proposed
bridge as a memorial, as a splendid
entrance to the Capital and as an i'm
portant link in the crosscontinent
Lee highway.

1S90-1900 during preparations for the
National Capital centennial, and it
was earnestly approved by President
Mckinley. 1t has been advocated by a
great number of patriotic Americans
who have passed from earth, and
whose names are prominent in the
history of the country. 1t has come
under consideration of one branch or
the other Of Congress several times,
and in 1918 commission was created
to prepare plans.
The present Memorial Bridge Com
mission was appointed by authority
of Congress in 1922 to prepare a de-

of the commission, presented the plan
to Congress last month. The commits
sion's plan seems acceptable to every
body interested in the matter, and

The commission has urged that work
on it be begun at once, and that the
for it be expended over
a period of ten years.

PART l.


MOSCOW, April 25.-The murder of
the ex-Emperor Nicholas, his wife,
children and retainers, at Ekaterin-
burg. in July, 1918, must rank among
the great crimes of the century, not
merely because Of the high place of
the victims and the vast political is
sues involved but because OF the cir
cunstances of horror and brutality
which surrounded it. This was no
sudden outburst of mob passion
against a bad or feeble ruler. 1t was
deliberate, long -drawn-0ut affair
following months of degrading cap
tivity of the victims, who were denied
trial, were given no opportunity to
state their defense, and were refused
even a dignified death. They were
taken to cellar. after a few seconds
warning. and were ehot like pigs in
a pen.
Many OF the circumstances sur
rounding the murder have been OBJ
scure. Recently l made an endeavor
to clear Up these points. j began my
inquiries in Ekaterinburg itself. 1t
was still possible to examine the cell
lar In which the murders were com
mitted and there was much to be
learned from the marks oil the walls
showing the direction and caliber of
the bullets From people living
around the house tales were to be
heard
Next, I sought for decumen tary
evidence among the local communist
archives and the records of the Ural
district council, the body which or
dered the shooting. There are still
to be found in Ekaterinhurg mem
took part in the seizure Of the cZar
from his bolshevist guards and in
the events which followed.
Courageous During Their Captivity.
Already mass Of legend has gath
cred around the affair, even in
Ekaterinburg. Royalist sympathizers
tell how one daughter escaped But
none got away. There are men eager
to relate vile and degrading tales in
order to besmirch the memory Of the
Romanovs. l will not report them,
for ! satisfied myself of their false
ness. One may have his opinion of
weakness of Nicholas as emperor
1 have mine-but in captivity he and
his family behaved with a courage and
dignity worthy of their forrner rank
From Ekaterinburg tho trail of
evidence eventually took me to Man
churia. There ! found old servants
who had shared. so far as they could,
the. imperial exile. There. too, were
old officials who during kolchak's
rule had gathered what facts they
could. Much of what they. learned is
given in Gen. Diederiechs book, The
Murder of the Czar and HIS Family"
published in Vladivostok tn Russian
in 1922. Gen. Diedcriech -, a mystic
whose fervor is apt to warp his judg-
ment and whose ardent Tro-Slavism
causes him to seek every opportunity
to place the blame for the murders on

especially Jewish crime. The no.
