Twelve Russians natives of kislar prov
ince, Europe, between the Black and cas-
plan seas, arrived here last night on the
japanese steamer kamakura Maru, after
a perlous Journey across Asia, through
desert and food, and were detained toay
by the United States immigration bureau
In their little village in kislar many OF
their relatives, they said, had been beaten
and killed by the cZar's soldiers and
forty men decided to leave Russia and
go to America by crossing Asia. They
set out on foot and walked to Astrakhan.
There they embarked on a fat-bottomed
boat that took them up the Eolga river
TO Dubooka and Kamrisdin. There
soldiers and peasants fired into the boat,
sinking the craft and wounding two of
it's occupants.
Officials harassed the refugees con-
stantly. and when they reached the foot
of the Cral mountains only fourteen men
were left At Ufa. where they intended
TO take a train of the Siberian railroad,
the Russian officials threw them into
taii for ten days.
Four months We're consumed in cross

brothers, and Mrs. Hattie 7. Kimmell,
sister.
The Twigg family is dissatisfied with
the action of State Attorney David
A. Robb in abandoning the investiga-

cepted the theory that Charles E..
Twigg and his bethrothed. Grace Elos-

Dissatisfied With Verdict.
The people of Keyser, almost without
exception, side with the Twigg family
in refusing to accept the gas theory

of Cumberland coincide. The corded
plush vest which Twigg wore on the
day of the tragedy is in the hands of
Dr. Thomas w. Koon, police commits

is a peculiar stain on the lapel of the

it is spotless.
DIR. Koon said tonight that he made

gave no credence to the claim that 1t

WEAPON FOR TAFT
Amendment to Pure Food Act
Before the Senate.
ADOPTION TO BE PRESSED
Senator Curtis Says Measure Has
Bearing on Controversy With
Germany Over Potash.

Senator Curtis expects to press for
passage at the present session of Con-
gress an amendment to the pure food
act, which he introduced last session, on
the. ground that IT would put in the hands
Of President Taft a weapon which he
might use in dealing with the German
government in respect to potash and other
disturbing questions. Secretary of State
Knox has been called upon for a state
ment regarding the bill. especially for an
opinion as to whether it would be eff
fective in disposing of the potash ques-
tion.
Power in Presidents Hands.
The proposed amendment to the pure
food act would enable the President to
exclude from importation the products of
any foreign country when he is satisfied
that such country in violation of treaty
obligations with the United States, seeks
by ''repressive, discriminatory or confis-
destroy the capital of citizens of the
United States legitimately invested in
such foreign states"
In a statement issued last night Sen
ator Curtis quotes from a treaty with
try protection in the pursuit of business
performed in submission to the laws of
Germany. He says that his amendment
would reach the case of American capital
invested IN the potash industry of Ger
many.
Aids in Acute Crises.
Speaking generally, he says that his
amendment is intended to strengthen the
President in dealing with acute crises
where American capital invested in prop
erty or commerce abroad, in accordance
with treaty provision, is menaced with
confiscation, or with repressive and dis
criminatory exactions destructive of it's
industrial permanency, through the arbi-
trary action of a foreign state. and
which action. in the judgment of the
President, is in clear contravention of
treaty obligations"
Continuing, the senator says: "At pres
ent neither the executive, Department of
State nor any of the great departments
of the United States government has any
authority to guard American capital in
vested abroad under treaty guarantees
beyond dignified diplomatic remonstrance.
Retaliation Sometimes Necessary.
discretionary power should be given to
the executive. in these acute cases, to
threaten and enforce retalatory indus
trial policy. The exercise of this much
needed discretionary power would be ex-
ceedingly rare, while the mere possess
sion of it naturally would be a most eff
fective deterrent to illegal and inequi-
table attacks on American investments
abroad.
1.-The measure is entirely protective in
character and in motive: is nOn-partisan
non-sectional and non-political, and should
become a law in the near future

Effort at Compromise Fruitless.
ENer since January IS. when the gov
ernor first became convinced that the
deadlock could not be broken if the lines
first drawn were held. he has been striv-

both factions. In that respect the situa-
ton today differed no whit from that of
a month ago.
Charles F. Murphy had not word to
say to any of the three rumors tonight.
