RUSSIANS WOULD WELCOME AID OF
 YANKEE TROOPS
General Semenof Tells Cor respondent Foreign Troops
 Are Necessary Now.
MUST BE
 OVERTHOWN HE SAYS
Attempted Assassination of General Caused Reign of
 Terror in Country.

Chita, Trans Baikalia. Sunday, Dec. 29-(By the Associated Press)-De- flying the orders of his physicians, General Senenoff, who was quite seriously wounded by fragments of a bomb thrown in a crowded theatre here recently, received The Associat- ed Press correspondent today. With him, he discussed briefly the crisis in Russia, declaring that America is admired by Russians, who would welcome American troops in the bat tie against BoIshevtsm.
 Armed Cossacks guarded the gen. erals house, and the correspondent was allowed to see the general only after undergoing a most rigid exam ination. General Semenof himself gave the correspondent a courteous welcome with his left hand, explain ing that his right hand and left leg had been injured by the bomb eXplo- sion. A surgeon had just removed fragments of the bomb from the in- jured leg.
 Referring to America, General Semenof was insistent In his declar- ation that American troops would be welcomed by Russians.
 'The landing of foreign troops on Russian soil is naturally distasteful." he added, but it is necessary now to overthrow the Bolshevists.''
 Asked if his differences with Ad- miral Kolchak had been adjusted, he replied in the negative.
 Admiral Kolchak sent troops to Irkltsk," he said, "so I cannot say we are friends. but my Cossacks will always work for the best interests of Russia"
 He concluded his talk with a re- quest that his greetings and an ex- rression of his admiration and re- spect for the American people be sent to them. He especially spoke of his gratitude for the unselfish in- terest in Russia's welfare which has been shown by America.

BONJON'S EATEN
 HANDS OF JURY
Verdict Expected This Af- ternoon-Judge Case Ex-
 plains Homicide Law.

Louis E. Bonjon will know before night whether he is to spend a term In state prison for the murder of Daniel E. Walker, or will be ecquit- ted on the ground of insanity at the time of the killing. The jury retired at 12:22 o'clock. but ct press hour had not reported an agreement to the court,
 The trial of Bonjon for the murder of Walker in the latter's cafe Septem- Der last attracted much interest ow- ing to the prominence of the victim in the affairs of the city. He was 8 former alderman, and one of the lead- CTS of the Democratic party, and widely known throughout the city.
 There are five possible verdicts which can be rendered by the jury, but the main issue in the case was upon whether Bonjon was sane or in- sane at the time of the killing. Tho defense claimed Bonjon was insane due to q prolonged use of alcohol and illness, and that the killing was the result of a. brain storm. The state on the contrary contended that the kill ing was done while Bonjon was drunk and that while at the time he did not know what he was doing. his inca pacity was due to his own act, and therefore his crime is not excused
 State Attorney Cummings argued upon those lines, and in conclusion said he did not wish for Bonjon's life, that he had never stood before jury to ask for a verdict which he did not believe was justified. In this case, he said, he would ask for a verdict of murder in the second degree.
 Judge Case in his charge to the jury dealt with the law relating to the dif-' ferent degrees of homicide, what con f stituted murder, and defined the law relating to the defense of insanity. His charge lasted< about an hour.
 At the conclusion of the charge byt Judge Case the various exhibits were given to the jury, and its members retired. At lunch hour they had not agreed.

One who has been a student of his tory cannot accept honor of the sort without having his memory back to the extraordinary
 But as I have thought today, I have been i'm pressed by the contrast between the temporary and permanent things. Many political changes have centered about Rome, from the time when from little city she be mistress a great empire. Change after change has swept away many things, altering the very form of affairs, but the thing that has remained permanent has been the spirit of Rome and the Italian people. That spirit to have caught with each age the characteristic purpose of the age.
 This imperial people gladly represents the freedom of nations. This people which one time seemed to conceive the purpose of governing the world takes part in the liberal enterprise of offering the world it's government. Can there be a finer impressive illustration of the indestructibIe human spirit and of the un- conquerable spirit of liberty?
