Russian Czars
Daughter Lives
In Iilalin, Italy
MILAN, Aug. 27 (AP) A
story that Olga. eldest daughter
of the last Csar of Russia, lived
in Milan in 1921. .was published
today in the Corriere Delia Sera.
The story said that she was mar
ried to an Italian officer of Vene
tian origin who had been a pris
oner in Russia and had helped her
escape from that country.
Tbe couple, it was said, lived
in a boarding house on the Corso
Buenos Aires. The proprietress
of tbe boarding bouse was quoted
as saying that the supposed prin
cess spoke Russian, French and
English and showed in every way
her superior breeding. ,
The woman said that her board
er relapsed into silence, when
questioned about herself but that
her , origin was divined when,
photographs of the Grand Duchess
Olga were published in illustrated
newspapers. She asked her guest
point blank it she were not really
the grand duchess. Her reply,
according . to the newspaper
count, was:
"I once was rich, and yon see.
I have nothing.
II Corriere Delia Sera states the
story was well embroidered by the
boarding house keeper and by a
dyer and cleaner of the neighbor
hood. The newspaper discards
much of this embroidery but says
it believes there may be some
foundation for the yarn.
Olga, eldest daughter of Csar
Nicholas ill., was bora -November

mother, three sisters and one
brother, .were murdered by com

Stories that some members of the
family escaped have cropped up,
notably in the case of Anastiasia,
the youngest of the girls. None
of these tales, however, has with
stood tests of their authenticity.

What They
ThinlrOf
Salem9 s Chief Need,
What It Is and
How to Meet It
Nearly everybody has his
own Ideas about tbe thing? his
city needs most, although few
are prepared to come out bold
ly and express their Ideas In
print Yesterday the New Ore
gon Statesman undertook to get
some constructive ideas along
this line and questioned a num
ber of Salem's residents. The
suggestions were remarkable
for their variety and diversity
of view point. Here they are:
P. STEINBOCK, who is one of
Salem's most generally known
merchants even though he does
not specialize In new goods, has
his own ideas about what
Salem needs most. "I tell you
they should move that tele
phone pole in front of the alley
by my store." he said yesterday.
"Trucks can't get out there
now without stopping and
backing. I'm going to take it
up with the city council. The
telephone pole is about, eight
i feet- north of- the? Maries.-Polk -i
county bridge, between " Front
and Water streets. It should be
some three feet farther north
out of the road to be In line
with the other poles in its row."
OPAL ELLIS, waitress at the
Blackest, believes: "We need
more lights. Often travelers tell
me that this is such a dark
town and comment upon the
lack of lights. There are many
streets that are not well light
ed. There are many pretty
residences here, and I believe
the streets should be lighted
that people may see them."
H. S. HUGHES. 945 E.
street, said: "My idea of what
Salem needs most is a good,
constructive, dignified, clean
newspaper one which will
help this community and In
which the people can take a
just pride. From the start it
has made It would be safe to
predict that the New States
man is going to fill that need.
A. C. BOHRNSTEDT. Salem
realtor, said: "What I have in.
mind may not be a special
need, but it has been harped
on again and again and I run
up against it-frequently. I be
lieve we need more friendship
and interest for and in the
newcomers. We spend much ef
fort in both money and pub
licity to get them here. And
once they are here, " we don't
take enough interest in help
ing them to find themselves. In
helping them find friendships
and Jobs."
F. O. MYERS, proprietor of
the Spa. thinks the tiny cinders
that descend like black snow
flakes on Salem, constitute the
city's most aggravated problem.
"We want the payrolls and wel
come the industries, but there
is a way to get rid of these
cinders which are making an
eyesore of our beautiful city
and raining costly goods as fast
as the merchants put them on
their shelves. Strangers ask me
everyj. day about the cinders
and remark on how unsightly
they are. Other industrial cities,
get rid of them and Salem must
do the. same."
DR. LABAN A. STEEVES
who has offices In the United
States National bank - building
said: "The city should develop
the park oat by the Ehglewood
school. The land out there is
tbe only land left in the city
from which a park can be made,
with; the exception of Bash's
pasture. That northeast district
Is building up rapidly; and a
park - there should be made be-'
fore It Is all built up."- : ..."
