MIAMI, Fla, August "A suicide
pact, sealed when the Red army of
Bolshevism was sweeping Russia,
followed by an escape from the revo.
lution-stricken country to America
and the subsequent vicissitudes that
beset Baron Royce Garrett, a cripple,
and his wife, who leaped to her death
from the eighteenth floor of a hotel
here Friday. were related in a copy
righted interview obtained by the
Miami Daily News yesterday.
The baron's story was related to
Capt. Michael Kustoff, himself a mem.
Der of the nobility of old Russia and
a veteran of the struggle of the arts
tocracy to stem the advance of the
Red army. 1t tells of trials that beset
the couple SHORTLY after their mar.
riage and events that led up to the
tragedy of Friday.
1.-THE tragic story of the death of
the baroness. known as Vera Lavrova.
is the result and consequence Of the
late Russian revolution" Capt. Kus-
toff writes, when members of the Rus.
sian aristocracy were compelled to
leave their native country, where they
occupied high social and political pc.
sition, and to wage hard fight for
existence in the new countries of
their adoption.
Baron Michael Royce Garrett spoke
feelingly of his first meeting with the
beautiful girl whom he later made his
wife. At the time of his marriage he
occupied high social position, coming
from an old aristocrattc famih high
in tho faUnr of tho PncSinYo court
Met Bride i'm Hospital.
ut was while lying wounded in the
hospital, the baron told me, that he
met the beautiful Russian girl. She
had just graduated from the Russian
Musical Conservatory, and was giving
her wonderful vocal talents for the
entertainment of the wounded of the
White army
The short courtship and marriage
and the hardships the young couple
endured were next related to Capt.
Kustoff, who continues:
1T was during these hectic days
that the Royce-Garretts sealed their
suicide pact. Never free from danger
of capture by the scavenging Red
army, they decided that should the
fortune of war ever put them into the
ndHuS VI the eHeHlN, lney WOulu ulc
together, if possible.
Weeks of almost daily conflict
passed on into months. Incapacitated
for active service, Baron Royce-Gar-
rett gave the benefit of his wide mill
tary knowledge to the White army in
an advisory capacity.
Then came the opportunity to es-
cape from wartorn Russia. Fleeing
the scourge of the Red invasion. the
Royce Carrots left behind a fortune
of over S5,000.000 in properties and
personal belongings. They came to
New York. Here they discovered that
the baroness musical talent and train
ing was a bread.winning asset"
The fight of the Russian couple to
make a livelihood in America was re
lated, and, in commenting on 1t. Baron
Royce-Garrett said:
What an irony of fate to have es-
capped the hardships and dangers of
our native land, only to fall upon hard
times in a land of apparent plenty"
Too proud to make their dire finan-
cial condition known, the baron told
Capt. Kustoff that they struggled on
as best they could, but was somewhat
bitter In commenting on the fact that

Three Weeks With Sister.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROCKLAND, Me-, August 3.--Lady
Aston andAher children had a gloomy
welcome to the coast of Maine today
so far as the weather was concerned.
Soon after leaving Boston the steam
err Camden, on which they made the
voyage, ran into a fog bank and driz-
cling rain. which grew worse as the
steamer neared Maine.
The first woman member of the
British Parliament travelled as demo-
cratically as any of the other passen-
gers. Her party remained in their
staterooms most of the journey, but
it was doubtful whether they were
able to sleep, because the fog siren
blew continuously as the steamer
nosed it's way up the coast.
Landing at Camden, they were con-
veyed by automobile to the Camden
Yacht Club, from where they en-
barked on a speed boat for the Sum-
mer home of Lady Astor's sister, Mrs
Charles Dana Gibson, at Islesboro.
Lady Aston arrived yesterday on the
Samaria from Liverpool.
The former Nancy Langhorne of
Virginia, who once was Mrs. Robert
Gould Shaw, I'd, of Boston. will spend
the next three weeks in Maine.

Many members of the Ely Moose
order will attend the State Conven-

be held at Virginia this week. The
convention got under way yesterday
with the registering of delegates and
a grand ball in the evening. 1t is
expected that 5000 or more official
delegates of the several lodges in
Minnesota will be present besides
thousands of interested visitors.
/ AS a feature of the convention
the Ely base ball team will be pres

EASY WAY TO CLEAN
SILVER EXPLAINED

Tarnish on silver can be removed
by the. electrolytic method. Vari-
Gus commercial devices for this can
be bought for use at home, or it
can be done in the following way:
Fill an enameled or agateware ket-
tie partly full of water in which has
been dissolved l teaspoon of either
washing soda or baking soda and 1
teaspoon of salt to each quart of
water, heat this solution to the boil
ing point, put in strips of aluminium
or bright zinc, add the furnished sill
yer, and boil it. The silver must
be covered completely by the water
and each piece must be in contact
with the aluminium or zinc, either
directly or through other silver.
When the tarnish has disappeared,
the silver should be removed from
the kettle, washed, and dried with
a clean, soft cloth.

Members of the Walton League
in Hibbing who oppose the building
of road through the Superior Ma
tional Forest will read with inter est
an editorial appearing in the Pho
neer Press touching on that subject,
says the Hibbing Tribune.
The case against construction OF
highways through the Superior Ma
tional Forest, presented to Secre-
tary Jardine here Friday by inter-
ested Minnesotans, has burden of
presumption against it. The ap-
peal is extraordinary, for the usual
demand is for more roads. 1t runs
counter to a salient idea of forest
management, which is that all parts
of the forest should be accessible.
1t bumps into a plausible argument
for roads as means of fire protec-
ton.
Yet all these Prescriptions GER
tainly~ add to the significance OF
Minnesotans' opposition to the road
building projects. The Minnesota
Forest service, which knows fire con.
ditions in this state, points to the
immense fire hazard created by mot
orists alosg the forest highways. II
contends that highways building viii
endanger the forest as nothing else
could. Improved portages and tht
stationing of few rangers can pro
vide the additional protection need
ed in district where fires now are
rare. Boulevards are not required
to make forest tract accessible II
