United States Delivers Arms

WASHINGTON, Oct AT the
urgent request Of the Omsk govern
ment the State Department has brought
about the delivery of the $4,000 rifles
held up in Vladivostok by Major Cen
eral Graves, the American commander,
in retaliation for anti-American ar
ticles in a Vladivostok newspaper and
because of hostile acts of Cossack
chiefs in the Far East DIPLOMATIC ef-
forts to persuade the Omsk government
to suppress the newspaper or to COM
pei less hostile attitude toward the
United States and the troops under
General Graves are being made.
The difficulties confronting the Omsk
government are appreciated by State
Department officials, it was said, and
every effort is being made to assist Ad-
miral Kolchak to crush Bolshevism
An official notification of the calling
of state assembly by Admiral Kol-
chak has been received, and is re-
garded as step forward in establish
ing stable government in Siberia.
In advising General Graves to per-
NIT resumption of the arms shipments
to the kolchak forces, State Depart
ment officials took the position that
Withholding the rifles now, with a wide
offensive against the Bolshevists start
ing, might prove fatal to the success
of the operation. AS to the paper
which aroused General Graves's resent
ment, it was said, the American COM
mander had full power to suppress it
even though the Kolchak governme mt
might not, for political reasons, wish
to move against the press

Rail Bill Amended
To Insure Minimum
Investment Return
Five and a Half Per Cent on
Aggregate Account, Plus
Half for Maintenance, Is
Agreed Upon by Senators
Net1 Torn Tribune
WdShinCton Bureau


Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. BY vote Of
to the Senate Committee on Inter
state Commerce to-day amended the
Cummins bill for the return Of the
railroads by inserting provision for a
fixed minimum financial return to the
roads when they revert back to pri-
vate operators. The return agreed
upon is 51a per cent, based on the ag-
gregate property investment account of
all of the carriers in each of the three
classification territories, as shown by
the Interstate Commerce Commissio ion
figures, plus one-hal Of per cent for
maintenance.
The provision agreed upon was ad-
vanced by the so-called Warfeld plan
suggested for the solution of the rail-
road problem by the National Associa-
tion Of Railroad Security Owners. The
amendment gives "a Congressional man
date to the Interstate Commerce Com
below this fixed minimum return. The
bill provides also for the reduction of
excess earnings of the carriers.
The amendment does not mean a
government guarantee Of return on
railroad securities. The minimum re-
turn fixed is not upon the securities or
the capitalization Of the railroads, but
upon the actual investment in railroad
operating property, as shown by Inter
state Commerce Commission figures. It
means that rates are to be made to
yield at least 51s per cent, in addition
to an allowance of onehalf of 1 per
cent for maintnance, for all of the rail
roads in each group, and not for each
individual railroad.

Omsk Leaders Protest
Washington Finally Orders
Delivery of 1000 Rifles
to Anti-Bolshevik Army

OMSK, Oct. 2 (By The Associated
Press) Major General William s.
Graves, commander Of American forces
in Siberia, in retaliation for alleged
scurrillous articles published in d
Vladvostok newspaper and hostile acts
of Cossack chiefs in the Far East, has
held up shipment Of $4,000 rifles which
arrived recently at Vladivostok from
government at Omsk.
Giving notice Of his action by tele-
graph through Major Slaughter, his
representative here, General Graves, in
direct and forceful language, declares
he will personally cause the arrest Of
the offending editor and the suppress
sion Of the newspaper-the "Colos Ro-
dini"-unless the Omsk government
does so.
Awaits Word From Omsk
He asserts further that unless the
activity Of the Cossack chiefs is con-
trolled he will recommend that Amer
ica refuse to render further assistance
to Russia. General Graves says he will
retain the arms until advised as to
what action the Omsk government pro-
poses to take.
In replying, the Omsk government
said that, in it's view, the subject con-
stitutes q diplomatic and not military
problem, which should be approached ID
through recognized diplomatic chan
nels, and that the government, there
fore, awaits q communication from the
State Department at Washington. 1t
says that mot wishing to formulate
any recriminations, it will not enter
into an argument which might impair
New-York tribune., 1919-10-03

the lively sympathy which it believes
has been awakened in America for the
cause Of Admiral Kolchak.
In respect to the holding up Of the
shipment of rifles, astonishment Is ex-
pressed by the government that local
troubles in the Far East, which the
government regards as an international
problem and not purely Russian one,
should impel General Graves to take
steps which might jeopardize more
farreaching and more vital undertaking
namely, the suppression of Bolshe-
vism at the critical moment when 81
berian troops are conducting a sue
cessful offensive"
1t is pointed out that General
Graves's course is "peculiarly astonish-
ing in view of the fact that the rifles
were bought and paid for by the Rus
sian government"
The threatened suppression Of the
newspaper. it is declared, could not
conceivably be construed as a matter
subject to American military jurisdic-
ton
