This action of the English govern

that the Department OF Justice has
been asked to investigate the charge
that ]. Milton Trainor. a War De-
partment employe. solicited 800 900
as a fee for getting the Chicago
Speedway Hospital project off the
rocks"
This action was taken. Baker said.
when a representative OF the inspec-
tor generals office reported there
might be some ground for the
charge. The charge was male by
William S. Bennett. counsel for the
Chicago Construction Company,
which built the hospital.
Senator France said the most
searching inquiry should be made TO
determine whether Trainor asked for
the money as a bribe and ''why the
man who decided against the Speed
way project did so against the rec
omme ndations OF every Governmental
agency which had investigated the
question for him"
Baker agreed that 'ff a brike was
asked. the person asking IL should
be punished. and IL there was a con-

USED KORNILOFF'S
HEAD AS FOOTBALL

PARIS, Feb. 6.-After the tragic
account of the death Of the former
Czar OF Russia and his family at the
hands of the Bolsheviki, says a spe-
cial cable dispatch to the New York
World today, comes the description of
General Korniloff's vain attempts to
restore order in Russia, his fights
against the Bolsheviki and Germans
and his death.
Many times during the sanguinary
encounters between his troops and
those Of the BOlsheYiki, General
KCrniloff shouldered a rife himself
and fought as a simple soldier. He
Vas killed while directing an attack
near Ekaterinodar by a bursting
grenade thrown by BOlshevik in the
hut where the famous general was
working.
His soldiers, before retiring. de-
cided to bury the body temporarily,
with the intention OF coming back
later and give their leader a gran
diose funeral In the meantime the
Bolsheviki heard Of General Korni-
lof's death. They sent a special mis-
sion to find the body. Having dis
covered it the Bolsheviki in their
mad JOY at having got rid of one of
their bitterest opponents, fought for
the body, which was finally hung on
a tree. 1t did not remain there long,
however. for a furious mob OF
anarchists tore it down, cut it into
pieces, and for more than a quarter
of an hour played football with the
generals head.
