Creel Says Sisson
Should Testify at
Bolshevik Trial
Declares U. S. Agent Can
Better Establish Anthem
ITCHY of Documents
Willing to Appear
Defence Expected to Put Rob-
ins on Stand in Opening
Its Case To-day

Edgar G. Sisson, who obtained in
Russia the documents purporting to
prove the Bolshevik government pro-
German and the Bolshcvik leaders
bought off by the German government,
probably will appear in place of George
Creel as a witness in the case of
Gabriel Prober and five others on trial
before Federal Judge Henry D. Clayton
for alleged conspiracy to violate the
espionage act.
Mr.. Creel. who as chairman Of the
Committee on Public Information, made
public the documents to expose the
Bolshevik government, terday wrote
letter to Judge Clayton, saying Mr..
Sisson was better qualified to speak
on the subject. Harry Wcinbe rger, at
torney for the defence, had Mr.. Crecl
served with a subpoena to bring the
original documents into court, he said,
to attack the authenticity of the Sisson
papers, and thus justify the contention
of the defendants that "the Allies we're
not warranted in intervening in Rus
sia.'
Defendants Opposed Intervention
All six Of the defendants are charged
with having distributed leahet on the
East Side. headed "The Hypocrisy of
the United States and Its Allies" and
containing an argument against the
intervention in Russia.
Mr.. Crcel's letter to the court said:
81 have received letter and tele-
gram from Mr. Weinberger stating his
intention of summoning me in the gov
ernments case against one Prober. I
shall be entirely willing, as matter
of course, to proceed to New York at
once If you desire my presence. How
ever, my duties are very heavy at this
time. and if there is any way of avoid
ing appearance I would like it very
much.
Creel Suggests Sisson
ut is also the case that Mr.. Edgar
G. Sisson is the proper person to be
summoned in event the Bolshevik doc
uments are brought into the trial He
was the representative in Russia who
secured the papers, and, more than any
other, he has first-hand knowledge CON
corning them. Mr. Sisson. holds him
self ready at all times to answer either
a subpoena or your request. Under no
circumstances do T wish it to appear
that there is any desire on our part to
avoid discussion of the authenticity Of
these Documents"
Mr.. Weinberger said Mr.. Sisson prob
ably will appear when the defence
opens its case to-day. Raymond Rob-
ms. former member of the American
Red Cross Commission to Russia, also
is to appear as witness, called by the
defence.

"FilIed With Idlers'

W WASHINGTON, Oct. II. - Partisan
political discussion and criticism of the
War Risk Insurance Bureau delayed
action by the House day on the So
100000 military deficiency bill.
Leaders hope to pass the measure to-
morrow and send it 20 the Senate; but
Representative Shcrley, of Kentucky,
in charge of the bill, warned the House
that this was impossible unless discus
sion was confined to "what is in the
bill"
Comnendation and condemnation of
the work of the War Risk Bureau
were voiced freely during the two hour
discussion of appropriations of $7,O00,-
600 for clerk hire and $70,00O,O00 for
additional family allowances, both of
which were approved.
Representative Madden, of Illinois,
Republican, denounced the bureau as
'outrageously inefficient" in admins
tration, ana said it was "fllcd with
idlers.' Representative Trcadway, Of
Massachusetts,, Republican. defended
the bureau for accomplishing a great
volume of work in short time, while
other members exchanged information
regarding the bureaus work, seeking
explanation Of delays in checks going
to soldiers families.

William Willoughby, president of the

up the vendcrs.
In his statement of the ncwsboys'
case Mr. Stanton laid emphasis on the
oppressive methods used to force
venders to take papers patriotic public
opinion would not allow them to sell,
and the justice of their demands for
larger return for their services.
"Ncarly every class of workers."
said he, "has received some sort Of
increase IN compensation since the
outbreak of the war, SO that they might
be enabled to meet the present high

! per hundred, which we have asked for.
Later, when we decided to strike
against The New York American
and The Evening Journal to attain
our oour ends, the city authorities, to whom
Mr. Hearst is very close, threatened
us WIN the loss of our licenses if we
would not sell these papers.
LAS a matter of fact, in a great manv
