CLAIMS HEARING IS CONTINUED BEFORE MALTBIE Groton Iron Works Prepar- ing Demands For
 Large Sum. $123,OOO PAID ON
 PRIOR CLAIMS Company At Present Under Management of
 Receiver.

Hartford, Aug. 27-The hearing on the question of claims that had been filed by the Groton Iron Works with the Fleet Corporation and also the claims that were being prepared and revised for filing, was resumed at the morning session of the superior court today before Judge William Maltbie. The United States Steamship Corpor- ation is asking in its petition for the removal of the receiver, LeRoy Harwood who, with Frederick Conlin, is the receiver for the Groton Iron Works, continued his testimony this morning.
 When questioned by MT. Robinson of the law firm of Robinson and Cole, representing the United States Steam- ship Corporation. otherwise known as the Morse interests Mir. Harwood stated that the Groton Iron Works was prearing claims at present for excess wages, excess freight insur- ance. both liability and compensation, piece work claims, salary claims for the clerical force and a bouns over time claim. MT. Harwood said that since the last hearing in August three revised claims have been presented to the United States Fleet Corpora ton for payment and to that date on- ly minor claims had been presented.
 When asked if the SIPS, 900 paid on claims prior to the receivership by the Fleet Corporation. had been cred ited to the Noank Yards, MT. Har- wood answered in the affirmative. He claims that the amount of all claims should be re-credited to the receivers of the Groton Iron Works. Among the large claims are those for over head expense, decreased efficiency and excess freight.
 Harwood said that when he com menced as a, receiver for the company the Groton Iron Works had a claim of s110.OO0 against the Fleet Corporation based on the delay of the government to supply lumber. The question of contingent liability was said to be cov- cred by the Fleet Corporation. Mr Harwood said one of the greatest diff faculties encountered by the Groton Iron Works was that the corporation did not have sufficient funds to carry out its contracts.

 There is no use attempting to chop this treaty into mincemeat," declared Senator Nelson, Republican, of Min nesota- "If that is the Senator's ob- ject he will find that mincemeat will be swept aside by the Senate"
 Later interruptions of Senator Falls speech by Senator McCumber led to one of the bitterst exchanges since the treaty debate began. Facing each other at a distance of a few feet, the two Senators raised their voices and pounded their desks.

 stood between the American party and death for every man, as officers who viewed the situation later were agreed that without these automatic rifies-in realty small machine guns the records would ave carried the enga cement as a massacre.
 About midnight, June 25, 500 Bol- sheviki soldiers approached Romanov- ska, where this particular detachment of Company A was guarding the trans Siberian railroad. Scouts were sent ahead and without a shot being fired they captured several sentries and then silently crept to the crest of the hill overlooking the American camp below.
 The first intimation these Ameri- cans had that they were being at tackled, for the first time since they had been in Siberia, came when a volley from the Bolsheviki rifles crashed through the silent night. The warning tones of the bugle sounded the alarm and the men grabbed their rifles and deployed. scattering along as far flung a line of defense as their numbers would permit. It was like the old days of Indian fighting over again. Whenever a Bolshevik head showed itself against the sky line a a half dozen Yankee rifles would crack. Several times the radicals tried to rush the American line, but the galling fire from the automatic rifles and the persistent bravery of the Americans held them and they were forced back, taking their dead and wounded with them.
 The next day the frasntic wireless calls for help brought achievements. An entire battalion of the Thirty First arrived few miles away and it was arranged to have them creep in to the camp under cover of darkness the next night. The BolSheviki had boasted that they would return the next night and finish the job, little thinking that endorsements could ] arrive in time, but American trucks made a new speed record that day that exceeded by a great deal the guarantee of the manufacturers and astonished the motor transport of ficers themselves.
 The tired defenders were relieved at nightfan and sent back to the regi- mental base, while the frash troops took up the vigil, using every means to indicate to observers that the en- tire command had retired for the night. The ruse worked. for at the same hour the Bolsheviki attacked again and this time they met with a different reception than they had an- ticipated, and after the first skirnltsh they turned in headlong flight When the count began the Americans found eighty-six dead bodies and 150 pris- oners in their hands. These were not the total casualties of the Bolsheviki as many were carried away by their comrades The American loss was none killed and a half a dozen slightly wounded.
