WOULD MAKE WAR
FRAUD TREASON"
Representative Mckenzie
Plans Bill, Following Camp
Sherman Expose.
By the Afsocia ted Press.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, November l.
Astounded by the mass of evidence
tending to show that the government
not several millions of dollars, in the
construction of Camp Sherman, Con-
gresham Lewis c. Mckenzie, Illinois,
chairman of the subcongressional
committee which is investigating the
camp constructions; declared tonight
that he will introduce a bill in Con-
gress making it treason to defraud
the government in time of war.
+ That the D. w. McGrath & Sons
Company, Columbus contractors on
Camp Sherman, had admitted great
waste and idleness of men on the work
was evidence submitted today to the
congressional subcommittee which is
conductiong an investigation Of the can
torment construction.
Letters Read in Records.
Copy of letter purporting to be
from the McGrath Company to SUI
perfntendents. foremen and employees,
in which it was pointed out that great
waste of material had been seen, was
read into the records. The letter
called it "a shameful waste of the
peoples money" and warned employees
that those responsible would be dis
charged.
1t was pointed out, however. that
the letter was written January 20,
1919, only ten days before all work
ceased at the cantonment. The waste.
it was declared, occurred in the early
stages of construction.
Chairman Mckenzie said he was
certain, before entering upon the in
curry, that the government had been
defrauded in the construction Of can
tonments. but that he never expected
It, to reach such gigantic proportions
as are indicated by testimony given
before the committee here.
Representative Mccullough said he is
certain the committee will furnish
the Department of Justice ample evil
dence on which to base criminal
prosecutions. =,
The committee concluded Its hear
ings here this evening. and will go
to Camp Sherman Monday. where
shout thirty additional witnesses viii
be- examined. It will go to Camp
Grant. ILL.,, November 10. where q SINH
lar investigation win be conducted.

SEMENOFF HALTS
AMERICAN RIFLES
SENT TO K0LCHAK
Demands to Share Consign.
ment, Backed by Threat.
Guns Finally Forwarded.
By the Associated Press.

vLADIvOSTOK. Sunday. October 26.
"A train with part of a consignment
Of $4,000 rifles recently shipped from
America for Admiral kolchak was
held up at Tchita, Trans Maikali, on
October "a by Gen. Semenoff. the anti
bolshevik leader in Siberia. Gen. Sem
enoff demanded that $4,000 rifles be
delivered to him by II o'clock on the
morning of October rs. or force would
be used to obtain them.
The lieutenant commanding the train
guard of fifty Americans commune
Gated with Maj. Gen. William s.
Graves, commander of the American
expeditionary forces in Siberia, and
received an order under no condi-
tions to turn over the rifles.
Japanese Report Train Forwarded.
I. Although no word has been re-
ceived at American. headquarters at
agtbafvostsas M 40 1ias events at
Tchita since semenoffs time limit ex-
PRED. Japanese headquarters last
night notified Gen. Graves that adj
vices from Tchita-the Japanese
guarded sector-were that through
Japanese offices the train had not been
molested and had proceeded toward
Omsk.
The last word from the American
train guard was that Gen. Graves in
structions had been received and that
the cossacks would need to use force
to get the arms.
As compared with the small Amer
lean guard. Semenoff had several
thousand Cossacks with artillery and
armored trains at Tchita.
Maj Gen. Graves recently refused
the delivery of arms to the Russian
authorities at Vladivostok, his ac-
ton resulting in criticism of the
American command by the Russian
authorities in the far east. as well as
by Gen.. Knox, chief of the British
military mission. now at Omsk, who
said that Gen. Graves had held up the
delivery of arms which the Russians
had bought and paid for.
Guns Arrive Two Months Ago.
Sixty-eight thousand rifles and large
quantities of ammunition consigned to
Admiral Kolchak arrived at Vladivos-
tok two months ago. at time when
Cossack and American relations were
tense Gen. Graves refused the de-
livery of these arms and ammunition
supplies at Vladivostok. believing that
they would fall into the hands Of the
Cossacks and never reach the kol-
chalk front. He finally agreed to the
delivery of the arms to the Kolchak
representatives at Irkutsk, if Ameri-
cans were permitted to guard the
trains through Cossack country.
The Russians insisted that thirty
five cars be made UP into two trains
and asked permission to guard one
of them. The Americans found the
Russians were attempting to sand
witch many cars of merchandise be-
tween the cars carrying arms. It was
then insisted by the Americans that
an American guard accompany both
trains to Irkutsk. The first train was
not nolested.
In making his demands, Gen. Sem
enoff quoted the authority of Gen.
Becklemesheff, at Omsk. The Russian
command at Vladivostok is without
knowledge of the position held by Gen.
Becklemesheff. Payment for the rifles
and ammunition was made after the
supplies left Vladivostok.

10 ARE KILLED IN -
 WASHINGTON RIOT
Police Report Number of Casual
 ties at Much Larger Figure Despite Presence of Cavalry, Frequent Outbreaks Reported.

Washington, July 21.-At midnight tonight the known casualty list in Washington's race war totaled ten, in- cluding two deaths and two men prob ably dying, while unconfrmed police reports place the number at much greater figure. Of the dead, one was a city detective, shot through the breast by negro woman, who was firing indiscriminately from the upper story of her house.
 The negress, girl of about IF years, also was shot but not fatally. In another part of the city black firing from a garage door, kept pro- vost guard of soldiers, sailors and marines at bay for several minutes but finally was shot down.
 Many clashes occurred between whites and blacks on street cars. One negro attacked on the back end of a car fired into the crowd, following the car and wounded four persons, but finally was stopped by city detec- tive, who was reported to have sent seven bullets into the negro's body. Each of the four white men was only slightly wounded.
 The fighting at midnight had re- volvde largely to fighting between street groups and in one of these en- counters a marine was reported to have been killed. Although service men had taken part in the early clashes, the most serious were those in which the mobs were made up of civilians.
 Police stations late tonight were ,swamped with reports of clashes be- tween mobs of whites, largely made up of soldiers, sailors and marines and negroes in many different sections of the city. The negro killed was struck over the head by marine dur ing one of the numerous fights on street cars.
 Crowds which moved up and down Pennsylvania Avenue between the capitol and the White House, despite the presence in the city of two troops of cavalry and 400 other armed ser vice men, grew more determined as the ngiht wore out and outbreaks were reported more frequently. Reports to police headquarters, said street cars had been stoned in parts of the city, the assailants being both whites and negroes. One negro was shot but not fatally, after mob had | boarded street car, and in the ensu- ing fight two city detectives were wounded slightly.

house did not take kindly to this pro- posal and defeated it.
 With this out of the way, Represen- tative Baker, Democrat, California. offered what the House had been wait Ing for-an amendment to make it un- lawful to have liquor in one's own dwelling. Chairman Volstead opposed It, saying this section had been given very serious consideration by friends of prohibition. When the vote was called, only three members, and all of them Democrats supported the amend ment-Mr. Baker and Representative Blanton, Texas, and Upshaw, Georgia the latter an evangelist.

MEXICAN TROUBLE
 REMAINS SERIOUS
High Tension, However, is SOMe- what Relieved by Detailed Re- pOrts-Senate Wants General Report.

Washington, July 21.-The Mexican situation occupied the attention of both the legislative and executive branches of the government today.
 Tension which was evident at the state department when first reports were received Saturday of the rob- ping of sailors manning small boat from the American monitor Chey- enne on the Tamsi river July 6, was relieved somewhat by more detailed account of the incident received from Commander Finney of the cruiser To- peka, flagship of the American naval forces at Tampico.
 The report said the sailors, who were on official duty, were held up by three men in civilian clothing, two of whom carried rifles and that when in formed of the incident, the Mexican government authorities at Tampico had expressed deep regret and prom ised to attempt to establish the iden- tity of the thieves. It was added, how ever, that up to the present these at tempts had been fruitless.
 Commander Finney's dispatch fol- lows: "The motor sailing launch of the U. s. s. Cheyenne that was in volved in the robbery by Mexicans on July 6, contained party of thirteen men, all of them unarmed. Three Mexicans constituted the bandit party. They held up the men on the Tamesi river, which at that place is very mar row. Two of the Mexicans were armed with rifles. One of them with drew shortly after they had arrived. All of them were dressed as civilians. The authorities of the Mexican gov ernment, to whom the matter was re- ferred, expressed deep regret that the incident should have occurred and stated they were attempting to ascer- tain the identity of the thieves At the present time these attempts have been fruitless, for none of them have been tither identified or captured. I am personally we'll acquainted with the Mexican commander, and I believe him to be of good faith on the propo- sition"
 Before this dispatch came, the state department was advised from Tampico that on last Wednesday bandits robbed the Atlantic Refining Company's oil loading station at Puerto Lobos, near Tampico, of $10,OOO, which was in- tended for the company's pay roll.
