more information from Colonel House
than they have been able to get so far.
There is q theory here that Colonel
House is eager to come before the
committee, so that his views with re-
gard to the various decisions may be
put into permanent record for his
torlcal purposes. The colonel, it is
said, has not relished some OF the
criticism which has been made of some
Of the decisions. notably that on Shan
tung. and would like to put himself
straight on these questions.
Senators are very anxious also to
ask Colonel House about the William

tee, with regard to Bullitt's trip to
Russia and other questions.
Not minute was given to the treaty
TO-DAY by the Senate, all the time being
occupied mostly by prohibition, and at
the end of the day by some minor reso-
lutions, combinations and other routine
matters.
Most of the day tomorrow is expected
to be occupied by Senator La Toilette
who has not yet spoken on the treaty
except one speech on the Shantune
amendment. Mr.. La Toilette is one OF
the "irreconcilables" whom no amend
ment or reservation would placate and
his speech is awaited with some inter.
est, as it is expected to be an attack or
the whole treaty. Some Senator'S are
going down the river with the King Of
Belgium tomorrow, however. so it if
not thought possible there Will be any

The picture of a king, with linen

unusually large and the small number
of American girls was hard put to ii

Bonillas May Enter
Presidential Contest

WASHINGTON. Oct 2S.- Despite
strong efforts reported as under way
in Mexico City to persuade Ygnaeio
Bonillas, Amba ssador TO the United
States. to become a candidate for the
presidency to succeed Venustiano Car
rama, the ambassador refuses to dis
cuss the matter, declaring he is too
busy with his duties to think about
politics so far in advance 81 the cleo
ton. which is to be held next August.
Advices from Mexico City say that
mass meetings have been held in vari-
Gus parts of the republic, particularly
in Yucatan. indorsing Ambassador
Bonillas for the nomnstion and that
the movement steadily is growi,~ TO
elect a civilian instead of military
man for the office. AS evidence of this
spirit, Mexican experts here cite the
fact that Obregon recently requested
Congress not to confirm his rank as
general of division in the army. aud
also that Pablo Gonzalez, Obregon's
rival for the presidency. has asked
leave TO resign his commission.
Friends of Ambassador Bonillas.
the dispatches state, have sent many
messages from the Mexican capital
asking his permission to use his name
as candidate, but according to these
same friends, the ambassador has re-
fused to consider the matter unless
his name is proposed as compromise
candidate in case it is necessary to
avert civil war. 1t is believed in some
quarters that if either Obregon or
Gonzalez is elected the other will
start new revolution, and it is to
avoid that, his friends say, that AM
bassador Bonillas is willing to be
candidate.

2OO,O in Siberia Eager

Former War Prisoners Await
Opportunity and Red Gross
Is Kept Busy

WARSAW, Sept. (via Paris), Sept.
20.-Poles, who have just completed a
pilgrimage Of many months from the
heart of Siberia to the ly-redeemed
city of Minsk, have brought to Amer
lean Red Cross headquarters in that
city the news that at least 100000 for
mer war prisoners are waiting in ST.
IBERIA for an opportune moment to re-
turn to Poland. Some placed the num-
ber a. 100000.
According to the newly returned ref
ugees, who were themselves Austrian
prisoners of war, Western Siberia is
full of homeless men claiming Polish
nationality. The problem created in
Poland by the returning prisoners and
refugees is already acute, the govern
ment being forced to rely heavily on
Red Cross help to feed and clothe
them. Should the number of refugees
still to return be in keeping with the
estimate brought by the new arrivals
it will mean an enormous additional
burden for the government and red
Cross relief service.

WASHINGTON, Oct Ex-senator
Lodge, chairman Of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, has written to
Colonel <. NJ. House asking when his
physical condition would permit him
to come to Washington to place be-
fore the committee information re-
garding the peace conferences
No doubt is felt here that Colonel
House will appear, and most Of the
members of the committee, including
some of the Democrats, are anxious
to hear him.
The question of hearing Colonel
House has been before the committee
for long time. Before his return
to this country motion to summon
Colonel House, General Bliss and
Henry White was lost in the Foreign
Relations Committee by one vote.
Senator Harding, who voted against
it, said afterward he would change
his vote, which would reverse the
committee result. if the motion were
narrowed to include only Colonel
House. His point was that all three
commissioners should not be brought
home at the same time.
Willing to Testify
Several weeks ago, shortly after the
return from Europe of Colonel House,
then too i'll to come to Washington,
Commander Mclean, Colonel House 8
phys cian, came to the Capital and told
Senator Lodge that Colonel House
would be glad to appear before the
committee. 1t is in response to this
message that Senator Lodge has now
asked the colonel to designate time
when he will be able to come, so that
he can submit the whole proposition
to the committee.
Several Senators on the committee
are very hopeful with regard to the
amount of information they can get
from Colonel House They do not
believe by any means that it will be
a repetition of the Lansing testimony
since Colonel House could not possb y
answer questions relating to the dis

Colonel House, with the President
represented the United States on the
commission which finally wrote the
league covenant. When the report Of
that commission was made to the peace
conference there was no discussion
whatever, Mr.. Lansing testified. S.
that Colonel House, aside from the
President, is the only man in this
country who can tell what happened il
the discussions which led up to the
final agreement on the league.
Hope for Much Information
Colonel House also participated in
other important conferences which Mr.

seemed to know nothing about and

Of European Russia and Siberia have
for weeks filled the yards of Irkutsk
with their railway cars Forced to flee
from their homes. in Perm. Ekaterin-

cities of western Silesia, because of
the menace of the Bo sheviki, they took
refuge in the railway box cars pro-
vided by the Omsk government and
started eastward. Irkutsk. midway be-
tween Omsk and Vladivostok, has felt
the full impact of the enormous tide of
refugees.
A week ago it was estimated by an
officer Of the American railroad corps,
which is attempting to rehabilitate the
transslberian service. that no fewer
than $4,000 cars of refugees were
massed in and around Omsk Nearly
1000 families of railway workers are
now living in box cars in the Irkutsk
yards. These railway workmen were
brought from the Ural districts to be

oMSK. Oct. % (By The Associated

is looking anxiously to tie United
States for supplies of army clothing.
raw materials. etc. to make up for
British assistance. suspended to per-
nit the British government to send,
instead, supplies to General Denikine.
The British representatives, according
70 70 statement by M. Soukine, Acting
Ms,l,h1nster s,, n of Foreign Affairs, led the
Al RUSSIAN government to believe
that the United States government
would step into the breach.
Munster Soukine said that the cessa-
ton by the British of sending further
supplies to Siberia. due to their COM
mltment to General Denikine. had
arouse new anxiety concerning the
measure Of assistance to be expected
from America. The attitude of
America" said NJ. Soukine, "has been,
and continues to be. extremely sympa-
thetlc The promises extended as far
back as June, however, have not vet
been fully realized
"Our government up to the present
has only been favored in the matter
of its purchases in the United States
but direct help by q financial credit
similar to those which France and
England have given has not been
al otted. The need for winter uni
forms and clothing for our troops can
not be exaggerated nor can the eco
nomic needs of the population. Assist.
ance is also urgently required to i'm
prove our currency situation"
M. Soukine emphatically denied
there was any desire on the part OF
the government to direct its policy ir
any way along pro- German lines Q,
to use aid from that quarter, but he
said that he believed that the Allies
shou d carefully direct the activities
of the Germans into channels which
would further the mutual interests OF
the Russians and the Allies.
According to a government state
ment in the British Parliament yester-
day, Great Britain no longer is
furnishing funds or supplies tc
Admiral Kolch ak and does not contem-
plate supplying General Denikine
indefinitely. This statement was inter.
preted, in view of the unexpectedly ly
large deficit estimated for the present
year as an intimaton of a further
modification of the British policy OF
assisting the anti-Bolshevik forces in
Russia.

Federico Cordova, Chief of
Outlaws, Would Deal
With Only One Envoy

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 2S.-The release
OF William o. Jenkins. United States
Consular Agent at Puebla, who was held
captive by Mexican bandits in the
mountains south of that city, and who
returned to Puebla yesterday, was eff
fected by one man, Senor Mestre, the
personal attorney of Mr.. Jenkins, ac-
cording to advices received here.
At the beginning of the negotia-
,ions for tho ransom of Mr.. Jenkins,
Federico Cordova. the leader of the
bandits. stipulated that any effort on
the part of the Consular Agents friends
10 appear in force at the bandit rem
devious would result in the death Of
Mr.. Jenkins. Senior Mestre. therefore,
met Cordova at Hacienda Chavarra,
which is situated about two hours run
by automobile south of Puebla.
He was then conducted to room,
where he found Mr.. Jenkins lying on
q bed. After a short barley the ran
som money, S300,00O, Mexican, $780,
900 American money! was counted out
and a receipt was signed by Cordova
Mr. Jenkins was then released and. on
the arm of Senior Mestre, left the
house, being accompanied for some dis
tance by Cordova men, who acted as
Z guard. The two men finally reached
another hacienda and were conveyed
to Pueb'a by automobile.
Few details of incidents which oc-
cured during Mr.. Jenkins week of
captivity have been learned, as he is
rot physically able to tell much of his
experiences in the mountains, except
that his abductors were on the move
continually to guard against attacks
They treated their prisoner with every
consideration possible. however, it is
said.
Rheumatic Attacks Recur
Forced to sleep on the wet ground
during a week of daily rains, Mr.
Jenkins suffered a recurrence of rheu-
matte attacks, which renderd him al
most helpless. He is nov in the
American hospital at Puebla, only a
few investigating officials being ad-
mitted to his room.
Secretary Elting Hanna, of the
American Embassy here, who directed
negotiations for the release of Mr..
Jenkins. on the part of the United
States, will not return from Puebla
until Wednesday. Upon his arrival it
Is expected an official report will be
made.
