Nottingham Lace
Knocked Out by
the United States

Nottingham, England, May 3d. The
United States proposal to put an en-
barge on the import Of lace has caused
CONSERVATION in the lace trade. If Ii
eenses for shipment are not granted
the embargo will have a serious effect
on the Nottingham lace trade as one
third of the entire output is usually
exported to America.
Nottingham exported about $8,500-
900 worth in pre-war times and all
though there was a marked falling off
last year the figure was $4, SOC, 900,
a leading manufacturer said the eff
feet of the prohibition will be tremen-
dous. He was inclined to think the
American government regarded lae e
as a luxury and intended to stop its
import during the war. The secretary
of the Federation of Lace and En-
broidery Employers said the outlook
was omnibus as scores of orders had
been placed for autumn delivery and
thousands of pounds already paid for
travellers salaries and agents expen-
ses would be dead loss. Warehous-
es opened in America would have to
be closed and agents of Nottingham
firms now in America would be
deprived of a living while a consid-
cradle number of lace makers would
be thrown out of work.
The American CONSUL GSM. Hitch
has had a busy time answering quer-
les and giving out what information
he has on the subject. He said the
Nottingham trade would be gravely
involved through the embargo but in
the absence of any further official
information he was unable to offer
any hope of modification of the or
der.

Hardin, Manchuria, April 15.--
Correspondence of The Associated
Press The name of General Semen
off, The Cossack leader who opposed
the rule of the Bolshevik government
in Siberia, was feared and respected
throughout that country until his
force recently was driven into Man
churia. He ruled with stern hand,
according to the many stories that are
circulating in Siberia.
Boisterous and disorderly Bolshevik
parties returning from the front to
their homes in Siberia became sudden
ly quiet when their trains entered the
sector of the trans Siberian railway
line controlled by General Semenof.
According to these stories, Semen
offs methods were not gentle. About
a month ago, the Bolshevik authorities
in Irkutsk sent delegation to Sem
.enoff offering him large sum OF
money and a high position in their
ranks if he would cease fighting
against them and join their ranks.
They requested written reply.
General Semenoff is said to have or
dered his Cossacks to strip the dele
gates and give them twenty-five lash
es with the knout. When this had
been done he told the delegates to re-
turn to Irkutsk and show his reply,
at the same time threatening to serve
all Bolshevil1i who fell into his hands
in the same manner.
On another occasion train load of
reservists going to their home through
Semenoff's section were all shouting
what they would do to the officers
when they got to their homes. When
Semenoff and two Of his men boarded
the train, the Cossack general made
himself known, whereupon the reserv-
lists sprang to attention and saluted,
and begged to serve under him. Sem

COssACK LEADER WAS FEARED
AND RESPECTED IN RUSSIA

enoff ordered them to stand at the sa-
lutte until he ordered them to do other
wise. When he left the train they
gave three ringing cheers.
About the middle of January, the
Bolshevik government at Petrograd
despatched the acting minister of ma
rine to Vladivostok to purchase GER
tain supplies. This acting minister
had been sailor on one of the war
vessels. According to stories which
came from Siberia, he and his staff
insulted passengers, fired revolvers
through the windows and demanded
that kilograms should be sent ahead
for all troop trains to be sidetracked
so as to allow his train a clear road.
The train was stopped at Douria
station, the minister and his staff were
ordered to go on the platform where
Semenoff questioned him and then or
dered him before a drum-head court
martial. The court pronounced him
a traitor to his country, and Semen
off, in pronouncing the death sentence,
stated that all traitors who fell into
his hands would be treated the same
way. The execution took place on the
station platform, one of Semenoff's
officers shooting the minister through
the heart.
The troops under Senenoff are I'M
der strict discipline.

A small child belonging to Mike
HOS, a Greek engaged in the wood
business, was playing in the street
yesterday and was accidentally run
over by another Greek named Smyr-
nos, who was riding a bicycle. The
child's leg was broken and he was Sc
verely bruised, while the man riding
the wheel, in trying to avoid hitting
the child, was thrown off and slightly
hurt. The father Of the child met
Alex Chrysostomides, who was riding
a wheel, and, apparently being very
angry with anyone who rode a wheel,
started a fracas with Chrysostomides
on general principles, coming out sec
ond best. Both men put up $40 bonds
for appearance today. Mike HOS then
went home, where DR.. Albaugh and
DR.. Douglass were fixing up the in
jured child, and found the man there
who had run over the boy. The man
had come to say how sorry he was,
and offered to pay the doctors bills,
etc, when Mike HOS, who was in a
rage, hit the man in the nose and then
smashed him on the head with what
lis supposed to have been brick, as
four stitches were necessary to sew
up the wound. In court this morning
Hios was fined $40 and Chrysostomi-
des was discharged as Chris was only
guilty o defending himself when at
tackled. This story is as told The Lead
er by Marshal Mickler.

Fought Indians
With Buffalo Bill
Born in Brooklyn, Son in the
American Army, Yet Aged
Engineer Cannot Prove He
is an American Citizen.

Mexico City, May 9.-Rigid inquire
ments of the United States govern
ment in regard to proofs of American
Icitizenship before passports are issued
have worked hardships on a number
of old time residents of Mexico who
always have regarded themselves as
Americans. The case of A. G. Saw
Eage, civsl esag;neer.is the most nota-
BILE. for Mr.. Savage, although seventy
years old, has still to convince the
American consulate that he is an
American citizen.
According to Mr.. Savage he was
born in Brooklyn, but, after the lapse
of more than half century, he has
found it impossible to produce citizen
ship proofs required by the American
government.
During his adventurous career, Mr..
Savage located railways in almost ev-
cry part of the then wild United Sta
ties, including the line of the Texas
Pacific in the Southwest. In the Black
Hills he fought Indians with Colonel
w. F. Cody and in the Indian Ter
ritory he served as deputy United Sta
ties marshal in 1876. He was the
first city engineer of FL Paso and laid
out the towns of Brownsville, Eagle
Pass and Laredo. Despite his years
he now is engaged in a three months
trip through the Pacific coast states
of Mexico. His only son is serving in
the American army in France.
