before a London magistrate was that
Of a woman who applied for a separa-

It was not, a lump or two had been

surrounded by cows which interfered

so, and the offenders fed.

its record of arson and murder Items
any one of which a short time ago
would have provided newspaper
sensation are dismissed today with a
few lines. They have become the
usual thing. Reprisals follow so fast
upon outrageS that as soon as po-
liceman is shot or d barracks burned
the people of the district flee from
their homes with all the belongings
they can carry.
This does not stop the Sim Fem
gunner who have now adopted the
plan of trying to make captured po-
licemen swear that no reprisalS will
occur Many of the old police force
hate these repriSals which are COM
mitted by recruits from England, and
some of them have carried their pro-
test to the length of resignation,
while many have helped to put out
fires set by incendiarieS who were
supposed to be protecting the prop
erty burned. But the men who retire
are regarded as traitors to the police
force, and some of them have been
stripped and beaten by members of
the new gang.
The fight between the gunner and
the armed forces of the crown has in
velved the deaths of many innocent
people. both men and women. who
happened to get in the line of fire.
The Sim Feiners issue almost daily
bulletins of men shot by the govern
ment and the government issues bull
letins as to men shot by the Sim
FeinerS.
Though the government cannot fix
the responsibility for particular cases
it believes it has a complete list of
all the men engaged in the murder
plots. and is SO certain of its in
formation that some of its agents
think the quickest way is to exc
cute the supposed culprits out Of hand
without the trouble of trial. This
had led to many mistakes.

MISS BOARDMAN
FOR D. c. vOT| ES
But Doubts Wisdom of Repre-
sentation, She Replies to
CIaflin.

Although she doubts the wisdom of
allowing the District to elect re pre-
sentatives to Congress, Commissioner
Boardman believes Washington ians
should vote for President and lVice
President.
She voiced this view yesterday after
receiving the letter Of Roy c. Cha fin.
president of the District Delegate As
ISOLATION, in which he took issue with
her suggestion that the Commissi on
ers be given the privilege of speak
ing in the House on local questions.
Miss Boardman said she fears that
elected representatives would OF me-
cessity be affiliated with one political
party or another. If one party should
be in power and the District should
elect representatives of the opposite
party. the National Capital might mot
get as much from Congress as II lit
had no representation, she said
The Commissioner called, attention! to
the fact that the National Capital. fun-
like any other city, has part Of its
expenses appropriated by Congress.
Consequently, she said, the elected
representatives of the capital would
not have the same independence dn
states.
Miss Boardman declared she wanted
the people of Washington to know
that she did not suggest giving the
Commissioners a seat in the House BIZ
cause she happens to be one of the
Commissioners.
IF the plan should be considered ait
all my term probably would be over
before it materialized," she said.
She made the suggestion, she COLI
tinued, because she believes the Com
missioners could present District ma t.
ters to the full membership Of the
House without mourning the polite al
handicaps that would attach to elect ed
representatives, who would sit in COM
gress as pardsans.

CZECH SOLDIERS
LEAVE RUSS POOR
CBy Associated Press)

TOXIC, June 19.-The Czecho-Slo-
wax minister in Toxic, Karel Pergler,
has refuted the report that the Czech
troops leaving Siberia by the Presi-
dent Grant were taking hundreds OF
tons of gold, silver, copper, machinery
and sugar and other loot. Mr.. Perg-
ler said: "The fact is that whatever
the Czecho- -Slovaks are carrying away
from Siberia, in this case on an Amer
lean transport, is their own property
purchased with their own money.
"The Czecho- -Slovaks have been in
Siberia for a long time. These SOL
diers are educated men, many of them
university graduates or intelligent ar
tisans and craftsmen. AS soldiers they
were allotted a certain amount Cf
money. Instead of spending their pay
they pooled their financial resources
and founded large trading company
and also a bank, the Bank of the
Czecho- -Slovak Legionaries. These re-
sources were increased under Russian
conditions because the pay was fixed
in francs but paid in Russian equiva-
lent OF French currency. These IN
stitutions bought considerable supplies
and it is those supplies which are now
beng transported to the republic.
"The men were especially anxious
to buy cotton which is needed for our
textile industry and their purchases
