KERENSKY IS NOT BLAMED Ex-Royal Pp.rty Is Accompanied to Tobolsk by Two Court Retainers, Tried Friends, Governess, Tutor nd 12 Servants. BT RHETA CHILDE DORR. CTenth of a series of articles telllnff the Inside story of Russia's revolt. Copyright. Jtl7, by the New York Evening Wail. Pub . li&hed by arrangement.) The iron re displayed by the Em press of Russia when she learned that supreme disaster had befallen the house of Romanoff was in contrast to the emotion which overcame the de posed Emperor on his return to Tsar skoe Selo. At the time of his abdication, near the army front, he had behaved with -dignity and self-command. He scorn fully refused the whispered sugges tions of one General that he escape in one of the high-power motor cars which always accompanied the imperial train. If the people wanted him to ab dicate, he was ready to do so, and ready also to place himself at their disposal. Emperor's Loyalty Proved. Nicholas also showed himself to be . good Russian and no tool of the pro German party. If reports are correct. When the news came that the army had Eone over to the revolution, someone near the Emperor, it is said, told .him that there was one desperate way to avert the catastrophe. He could open up the iJvinsk front, let the enemy in, and thus by the sacrifice of his coun try pave his dynasty. Nicholas refused even to consider such a crime. He committed many sins of cruelty in his time, and many more sins of stupidity. But in the end he showed himself no traitor. oldler Are InMuItlng. His return to Tsarskoe Selo was in tended by Kerensky and the other members of the provisional government to bo in accordance with his former rank, and orders were given to treat him with all respect and consideration. These orders, if Mme. Vyroubova is to be believed, were disregarded by the soldiers on guard at the Alexander pal ace, the home of the royal family. In my last talk with Mme. Vyroubova she spoke with deep feeling of the rowdy reception given the returning Nicholas. "They blew tobacco smoke in his face, the brutes." she said. "A soldier grabbed him by the arm and pulled one way. while others grabbed him on the other side and pulled him In an opposite direction. They Jeered at him and laughed at his anger and pain. When he was finally alone with his family and Intimate friends, he could not contain his grief but wept unrestrainedly. We all wept, for that matter; we loved him." Petty Indlsnltlea Offered. It is to the credit of Kerensky and the ministers that they never would consent to any suggestion that Nicho las be thrown into a dungeon or other wise harshly treated. As long as the family remained at Tsarskoe Selo. which was until the first of August. Russian style, and August 13 in the Western calendar, it lived in its. ac customed manner. The servants, most of them, re mained at their posts, and while no member of the family was allowed to leave the palace grounds on any pre text, nor the palace itself except when accompanied by armed guards, they 1iad the freedom of their home and the society of a few friends. They Were not allowed to telephone, and all letters reaching them had first to be read by the officer In command of the guards. Mme. Vyroubova told me that In spite of Kerensky's good intentions, the de posed royalties were subjected to a number of petty annoyances which must have caused them all the resent ment and humiliation their tormentors Intended. The electric lights were sometimes turned off early in the even ing, leaving the palace in darkness. There were days when the water was turned off and the family was deprived of bathing facilities. The soldiers on guard were not infrequently rude and churlish and openly exultant In the presence of their prisoners. Mme. Vyroubova Badly Treated. Is-erensky cannot be held responsible tor these things, but he- was respon sible for depriving the former Empress or me society of her most intimate friend, Mme. Vyroubova. I have al ready told how she was arrested while still suffering from the effects of measles and thrown into a cell in Peter and Paul. The cell was damp and insanitary, and the sick woman suffered extreme misery all the time she was there. Sur rounded constantly by soldiers, who -watched her night and day, she was neve ralone even long enough to dress or to bathe. She is lame, as I have stated, and once she fell on the slippery floor of her cell and was unable to rise without assistance. The soldiers on guard refused to help her, but simply stood and laughed at her efforts to reach her bed. The first shock of dumfounded amaze ment over, the royal family, which had never believed that they could be over- thrown, regained its composure and accepted its destiny with quiet resigna tion. The Emperor became his adored son's tutor, and the Empress her daughters' constant companion. When Spring came the whole family went out and made a garden. The hundreds of soldiers in Tsarskoe and thousands BEAUTY DOCTOR TELLS SECRET Detroit Beauty Doctor Gives Simple Recipe to Darken Gray Hair and Make It Soft and Glossy. of people from Petrograd made pil grimages to the palace grounds and watched through the high Iron fence the ex-Czar spading up the ground and the ex-heir and his sisters planting and hoeing potatoes. The ex-Empress, in a wheeled chair or low pony carriage, for she was in feeble health, usually looked on smilingly. Considerate Treatment Resented. Of course, the Tavarish, or at least the extremists in the Council of Sol diers' and Workmen's Delegates, re sented the respectful and considerate treatment accorded the captive royal ties. The government disregarded all res olutions and muttered threats. It may very well be, though, that the final decision to send Nicholas and his wife into Siberian exile came as a result of pressure on the part of the Soviets. Kerensky may have feared a bloody tragedy at Tsarkoe Selo, and perhaps he had reason to fear it. At all events, the provisional government decided, some time in July, to transfer the fam ily to one of the remotest spots in tne empire, Tobolsk-, in Eastern Siberia. The government kept this decision an absolute secret, as far as the de posed Emperor as well as the general public were concerned. It was not until the Romanoff fam ily was well on its way to Siberia that the transfer was mentioned in the newspapers. The full story, as far as I know it, reveals that for three weeks before hand the garrison at Tsarkoe knew, or suspected, that something was about to happen to the captives. Two days be fore the event Kerensky went in per son to the garrison and asked the sol diers to choose from their ranks a squadron of the most reliable and trustworthy men. They were needed, he explained, for a mission of great importance. Departure la Pathetic. Three hundred and eighty-four men were chosen, eight from 48 regimental groups. On the 31st of July (August 12) at midnight Kerensky appeared at the barracks, called the picked men to gether and told them that their mis sion was to escort the man who had been their Emperor and autocrat into exile in far Siberia. The royal family knew its fate be fore that time, but Just when they were told has not been revealed. Ke rensky told them, and I feel sure that he did it gently and courteously. But he refused to tell them all information as to where they were going. On July 30 (August 2) the confessor of the family held a service for those about to go on a long Journey. Then they went to work to pack trunks and to choose among clothes, trinkets. furs. personal belongings, books, ikons, rugs and other essential things that would lighten exile and keep them In memory of other days. It is said that neither Nicholas nor Alexandra slept on the night before their departure, but wandered from room to room, hand in hand, mutely and sorrowfully bidding their beloved home good-bye. Many others in Tsarkoe Selo re frained from sleep on that night. The garrison was wildly excited, and the streets of the picturesque little town were full of people. At 3 o'clock in the morning motor vans were driven into the palace grounds, and those near nough the gates could see that the vans were being loaded with trunks and boxes. At 6 o'clock a long train slowly backed into the station of Tsar skoe Selo, the station was surrounded by soldiers and troops with loaded rifles marched out and lined both sides of the road from the palace to the sta tion, each soldier carrying in his belt 60 rounds of cartridges. Nicholas Not Vpaet. Those who saw the departure differ In minor details, of course, because no two people ever see the same event ex actly alike. Especially an important event on which we would like to have all the details. But' all the observers agree that Nicholas walked out of the palace and entered the waiting motor car with the calm demeanor of a man about to take a pleasure drive. Alex andra did the same. She walked with out assistance, having apparently re covered her shattered health. The former Czarovitch, in a sailor suit and cap, danced ahead of his par ents in pleased anticipation of a Jour ney, and the young Grand Duchesses also appeared in high spirits. They are extremely handsome girls, all of them, and people rather sympatheti cally observed that during their illness in February they had all naa tneir lux uriant hair cut short. Before the train lert the Emperor is said to have asked Kerensky. who ac companied him to the last, if the family would ever be allowed to return to Tsarskoe-Selo. If he did, Kerensky's renlv must have been evasive, for Nicholas told one of his suite, or said to have done so, that he expected to return after the.war. The Empress, when told that the family was on its way to Tobolsk, is reputed to have smiled coldly and satd "I am glad we shall see Tobolsk. It is a place that has dear associations Tobolsk, or its near neighborhood, it will be remembered, was the early home of Rasputin. "Why are there so many soldiers on this train? asked one of the young grand duchesses. She was used to be ing escorted by soldiers but the great number on this occasion excited her surprise. The children all knew that they were going into exile, and had been given their choice of remaining with relatives or going with their par ents. Mme. Vyroubova's claim that the family bond is strong was borne out by their unanimous decision to go wherever their father and mother went. Two Friends In Suite. Mme. Narychkine, one of the Em press' faithful ladies in waiting, went with her, since the provisional govern ment would not let her have Mme. Vyroubova or even allow the two friends to bid each other ' farewell. Prince Dolgourlki was permitted to go with the Emperor. The children re tained a governess and the boy i tutor. Twelve servants accompanied the family. Tobolsk is a town of about 25,000 in habitants, situated on the Irtish River, a little sluggish stream that drains, or partially drains, one of the great marshes of Eastern Siberia. The town is built on a marsh, and the mosquitoes which breed there are said to be of a size and a ferocity unequaled elsewhere Malaria haunts the miasmas of the marshy forest3 that stretch for miles around the town and line the river banks. The nearest railroad is 300 versts distant. In Winter, which endures eight months of the year, the place is shut ot. from the world. It is as remote from human association as the moon. The provisional government apologizes for Tobolsk as a choice on the ground of the necessity of remoteness. HI'S JOKER IS SOURCE OF WORRY Members of Congress Dis turbed at Finding Out What Was Done in Conference. OWN SALARIES EXEMPTED Second Objection Is That Only In comes "Earned" Are Subject to Tax, While Income From In vestment Is Xot Taxed. Miss Alice "Whitney, a welK'known oeauty doctor o Detroit. Mich., re cently gave out the following state ment: "Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home, at -very little cost, that will darken gray hair and make It soft and glossy. To a half pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and H ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drugstore at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice a week ur.1.11 the desired shade is obtained. This will make a gray-haired person look 20 years younger. It is not sticky or grreasy and, does not rub off. Adv. OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash- neton. Oct. 13. Representative Kit- chin's joker in the revenue bill impos- ng a tax of 8 per cent on earned in comes exceeding J6000 is causing more unfavorable comment than any otner provision in the war revenue bill. Not the least of the criticism grows out of the fact that this Joker specifically ex empts the incomes of Senators and Rep resentatives and other Government oi- fl rials from this 8 per cent tax. And the fact remains that Congress, while levying this tax on the incomes of all other men able to make more than $1000 a year, specifically provided that the salaries of Senators and Repre sentatives should not be taxed. To make the situation more embarrassing. Representative Kitchin boldly defends the exemption of Congressional salaries. When Congress reassembles in De cember an effort will be made to re peal the Kitchin Joker, as the tax as sessed by this provision will not have to be paid until June of next year. II the Joker cannot be repealed, then an effort will be made to modify it so that it will apply equitably to all salaries or incomes exceeding $6000 a year. Two Arguments Cited. There are two main arguments against the Kitchin Joker. First, the exemption of Congressional salaries, and second, the fact that it applies only to earned incoiHes. As this Joker works out, a professional man earning $25,- 000 a year would pay an 8 per cent tax on $19,000. In addition to this he would pay the regular income tax. Another man whose income from money invest ed in stocks, bonds, real estate, etc., amounted to $25,000 would pay the regular income tax, and would not pay any tax under the Kitchin amendment. The professional man. in other words. would pay $1141 more tax than the man whose income was derived solely from investments. That feature of the Kitchin Joker which exempts the salaries of Senators and Representatives is also interest ing. The salary of a Senator or a Rep resentative is $7500 a year. Without the exemption clause each Senator and Representative. under the Kitchin amendment, would be taxed $120, which is 8 per cent on $1500, the difference between $6000 and $7500. That the Kitchin amendment was slipped over" on Congress there can be no doubt. This 8 per cent tax was not in the revenue bill when it passed the House, nor was it there as the bill passed the Senate. Clause Forced on Conferees. Representative Kitchin, in secret ses sion, forced the adoption of this amend ment on the conference committee on the threat of holding up the entire bill unless his demands were met. His amendment was adopted, the bill was taken back to the Senate and House, where very' few knew of this newly- imposed tax, and the whole measure was Jammed through before Senators or Representatives knew this provision had been inserted. In defending his amendment Repre sentative Kitchin said that he had de liberately drawn it to exempt the sal aries of members of Congress and other Government officials whose salaries ex ceed $6000. He said further that he would oppose any move to apply this tax to Congressional salaries. "This is an 8 per cent tax on excess profits," said Mr. Kitchin. "It is a tax on money derived from a business. The Government is not a business institu tion and no salary therefrom is a busi ness income. Officials don't work for profits. If it should come about that men are in Government positions for a profit, then I would advise a heavy tax upon their salaries. But few men are working for a profit in Congress, or in any official position." rants in Canada have by institution of meatless days reduced consumption of bacon 51 per cent and beef 40 per cent as compared with the preceding months. The food controller of Canada an nounces that after November 1, - he net profits of Canadian millers will be limited to a maximum average of 25c per barrel of flour, the by-products to go to the mill.
