Washington. March 10.-tSpeclaL) The President of the United states might sometimes be so expressed with international disputations that ne would fail to recognize senator. But there is an Alabamian who operates a capitol elevator whom the President will never fail to know.
 As a matter of fact whenever the chief executive beholds this Ala bamian he assumes a position Of at tention, smiles broadly informally sa- lutes and in most solicitous manner inquiries as to his health.
 The persons of the drama are Mir. Wilson and Cleon Propst. The latter, on the recommendation of Senator Bankhead, was transported from the Sixth district for the service of the government. In every respect he has made good in Washington. It is dis tinguishing characteristic that he makes friends of every man he meets from the mischievous boys who serve in the Senate as pages to the chief ex- ecutive of the nation.
 As to the establishment of the re- lations between MT. Propst and MT. Wilson. there is an interesting story It is remembered that some weeks ago the President stood in the Senate and spoke for universal peace-peace without victory-a brotherhood of the nations, a sublime existence of love to be maintained by an enormous army composed of contributed units from all parts of the world. En route to the Senate MT. Wilson and his constab- ulary of secret service men required the services of an elevator chief In the car MT. Propst stood gauntly at the throttle. As the vehicle, loaded with the President, secret service men and newspaper correspondents shot upward, MT Propst wondered in his

Rolph Tells Probers That Lack of Booze Turns Men
 to Sweet Drinks, Candy.

Washington, Dec, Exchanges that the food administration plan of han ding the sugar situation gave the re- liners a chance to combine to fix pur- chasing and refining prices were made by Chairman Reed of the senate in vestigating committee today, and en- phatically denied by George Rolph, director of the sugar division of the food administration,
 "These refiners met and agreed they would buy only through one commit tee which would control the supply and fixed a good fat price for their refining york;" declared Senator Reed. "Why didn't you arrange to buy the Cuban sugar and then go to the refiners and say that the one that bids the lowest for refining gets the work ?"
 "We didn't have the power, but I approve of a fixed refining price, as without it some refners would have al lthe supplies and some nothing" r piled Rolth.
 Denies Special Interest.
 Rolph denied that he represented the company for which he is general manager, but was representative of the people when Senator Reed asked if the people were represented at the refiners' meeting held at the instiga- tion of the food administration.
 "Did you say in effect to those re- liners that they could not go above a certain figure?" Reed questioned.
 "Yes; they knew the food admins tration would not accept an exorbitant nrice.''
 Prohibition todays was added to the causes for the present shortage. Rolph said consumption had been increased in the south by soldiers who drink more soft drinks, chew more gum and eat more candy than they did when they could procure liquor.

If those gathered at Mostar sur vived, they were transferred later to Arad, where thousands of living skeletons were congregated from Bosnia and Herzegovina" said the deputy. Famished, naked, half-dead from the blows of rifles and bayonet 'hrusts they were driven to the case ments of the Arad fortress. In its subterranean corridors they died in masses from typhus.
 ''As the days became colder" said Dr. Pavicic, "they took clothing from the dead to clothe the naked. The number of deaths at Arad is estimated at between 5000 and 4,000."
 At Doboj things were worse. Along >With Serbian and Montenegrin pris oners came crowds of civilian old men women and children driven from home and forced to travel in open cattle trucks.

HORRIBLE TALE OF
 AT ATROCITIES TO SERBS
Men and Women Caused to Dig Own Graves by tile AustrO.
 HungarianS.

London, Nov. -(Correspondence i of The Associated Press) ).-Compelled | to dig their own graves, drowned buried alive, hanged or shot down with machine guns, the Serbians of Her. zegovina. Bosnia, Istria and Dalmatia 1 were the victims of Austro-Hungar- l ian atrocities, surpassing the human imagination, recently declared Dr. Tresic Pavicic, Slav member of the 1 Austro-Hunslarian Chamber of Dep-
 uties. Narratives of Serbians made
 prisoners in Austrian jails and for tresses were related in detail before the Austrian Parliament by the Slav deputy
 According to Dr. Pavicic, these out
 rages were practiced upon the civilian population, old men, women and chil-
 dren, when orders were given by Gen. era! Pctiorek. described las the auto ] crat of Bosnia, to remove all the Serb ians from the frontier districts.
 The inhabitants of the village of Svice, young and old, were all led away and on arrival at Mount Rudo were compelled to dig their own
 graves and to lie down each in his
 own. Many women, the deputy said,
 lay down in their graves with chill
 dren in their arms and the soldiers
 then shot them one after another, the
 living putting earth over the dead un-
 til their own turn came.
 The ordinary method of executing
 these civilians who should have been
 interned said the Slav deputy, was to
 hang them, but instead the whole .h.M ,ir
 transformed into desert Eighty
 two persons, he said, were hanged
 without trial at Zubac, 103 at Treb-
 injo 71 at Foca and 300 at Tuzla. He
 gave the names of victims and the dates and localities of the outrages.
 Of those who were not executed, he declared, the very young and the aged died of destitution. It was the vigor- ous, competent and courageous who were arrested, falsely accused, con- demned tortured and executed. The deputy was informed, he said, that D. 600 persons had been arrested in Dal- matia, Istria and Carniola. Dr. Pavicic was one of those arrested, herded with brigands, insulted by Hungarian soldiers and beaten with rifle butts. Many of his fellow pris- oners lost their reason and he saw one hurl himself from train under the wheels of another which was passing. Thousands of Serbians. he declared, were taken for internment to Mostar, Herzegovina, to Doboj, Bosnia and to Arad, Hungary.
 Upon these unfortunatse their jail- CTS inflicted peculiar punishments. ac- cording to the narratives of two sur vivols related by pr. Pavicic. One of these jailers at Mostar was charac- terized in the speech as a "ferociOus beast" who beat his prisoners with q hooked baton of iron which he called "Kromprinz A priest named Tichy afterward died at Arad, Hungary, as the result of the tortures this jailer inflicted. d
