(By Associated Press. 1
WASHINGTON, May 13.?A report on
the soil conditions at Camp Greene,
Charlotte, N. C.. and upon the possi
bilities of using that camp in the fu
tute in connection with army training
is being prepared by General Black,
obiei of engineers: General Gorgas. sur
geon-general, and Inspector-General
Chamberlain. Secretary P.aker said to
day that tho final disposition of this
camp would not be determined until
ho had received the report from these
olTlcers.
The three generals accompanied Mr.
Baker to Cajnp Greene Sunday, where
they made a personal inspection of the
site. The greatest obstacle to the re
tention of the camp in tho depart
ment's training schedule is said to be
extremely heavy soil, which, after
rainy weather, makes it impossible tc
drill largo bodies of troops. Tho con
dition also is considered by the army
medical authorities to be dangerous to
the health of tho men stationed at
Camp Greene.

LONDON, May 13.?The Soviet gov

| patch from Petrograd. dated Friday,
i confirms the report that Nicholas Ro
manoff, the former Emperor, together
with the former Empress and one of
j their daughters, was removed to Eka

the discovery of a peasant conspiracy
to assist in his escape. Alexis Ro
1 manoff. the former heir apparent, re
mains at Tobolsk, owing to ill health.
The former Emperor is now confined
in a small house with only one or two
attendants and no strangers are al
lowed to approach him. He complains
that the guards recently have been
rude and meddlesome. M. Sverdloff, of
the Bolshevik Cabinet, says that
Nicholas must reconcile himself to the
j fact that he is a prtsoner of the Soviet.
The Question of the ultimate of the
former Emperor, the dispatch adds,
will soon be brought to a decision.

The statement followed the reading

whether Congress was loyal at heart,
that he did not "care for slumming."
and had "not explored Congressmen's

Representative Olllett, acting Repub

quotation and asked Kitehin what he
thought of it.
"If Creel said that," replied Kitehin.
"or if he holds any- such opinion, he
does not deserve, and is unworthy of
the confidence of Congress or of any
honest man."

Edward Gilliam Kvans Meets Death
.Wbilo Out Hatliing
Alone.
STUDENTS SEARCH FOR HOURS
Body Is Recovered, but Efforts at
Resuscitation Are in Vain?Letters
to IIIh Mother, Written Sunday,
Tell of Plans for Summer Monti is.
Edward Gilliam Evans, of White
Deer, Texas, a student at Richmond
College, was drowned_yeaterday morn
ing at 6:30 o'clock, while bathing
alone in the Westhampton lake. Anx
iety was felt by his fellow students
early yesterday when Evans was found
missing' from his room.
Kvans was an early riser. Yester
day morning he failed to wake, for
the first time this session, several of
the students who slept on his floor of
tho Thomas Hall dormitory. Upon in
spection. his room was found empty,
his clothing heaped on a chair and
his bathing suit gone. The fact that
none of the several towels in the closet
had been used raised the suspicion of
the searchers. ... ,,
When he did not present himself
at the. Richmond College refectory,
Immediate action was taken. It was
known that Evans could not. swim at
all, and. as quickly as possible, twenty
or more of the students donned bath
ing suits and endeavored to locate tho
body. v
At that time, however, It wjs not
definitely known whether or not Evans
had taken his accustomed dip. There
fore, it was deemed best to postpone
a systematic search until noon. In the
hope that the missing student might
arrive on the campus. A group of
Bwlmmers persisted In their efforts
and. exactly at 11:30. the body was
i found by Jajmes Whitfield about ten
yards north of the point at which
Evans Is supposel to have entered
the lake.
RESUSCITATION IS
ATTEMPTED IN VAIN
Practically all of the student bodtf"
caw the swimmers raise Evans to the
row boat, from which they had been
dlvlr.g, and bring the body into shore.
With tense faces, they crowded around
the r'.Rid figure when It was laid on
j the bank of the lake and each one
I offered his services. Resuscitating
I inea: res were tried, but In vain;
I Evans was without a spark of life,
j The morning, which was cloudy and
I damp, added its^cold to the desolate
j scene. Students In bathing suits stood,
| shivering from cold and excitement.
as the body was taken ashore and the
i faculty stood aside with heads un
covered. Classss were practically bus
pended for the day.
Ten minutes alter Evans had been
laid on the shore, the sun'came from
behind the clouds and looked down
on the first tragedy of greater Rich
mond College. At this time, the arti
ficial respiration measures, which had
heen tried were abandoned, the figure
was covered with a bathrobe and the
onlookers dispersed.
Evans met his death when he stepped
into a steep depression In the bottom
of the lake. -Jot being able to smiw,
it is presumed that he lost control of
his faculties and died within a few
minutes.
MSTTEItS TKM. OF PI.ANS
l'Olt SUMMER MONTHS
Four letters, written on /Sunday
night, were found in the dead stu
dent's room yesterday morning. They
were addressed lo his mother, Mrs.
C. E. Evans, White Deer, Texas; his
brother. W. ?\\\ Evans, Camp Travis,
Texas; Miss Flors E. Maddox, Concord
Depot. Virginia, and Mrs. D. P. Minlx,
Gladys, Virginia. The communication
to his mother was opened by one of
the professors before the body was
found, in the hope that It might shed
light upon the disappearance.
Nothing relating to the tragedy was
found. On the other hand, the letter
was an enthusiastic one. Written by
Evans on Mochers* Day, it conlained
his plans for .he summer months and
referred to the eager anticipation with
which he looked forward to the reun
| ion with his family. He expected to
begin his trip to Texas to-day.
A peculiar fact connected with the
tragedy is that no water could be
forced from the body by the rescuers.
The coroner rendered a verdict of acci
dental drowning, shortly after he ar
