Criminal prosecution Of several war con-
tract fraud by the government may be
| barred by the statute of limitations, it is
| said at the department of justice. The fed
eral criminal statute, officials explained, runs
| for three years after the commission of an
overt act in the case of conspiracy to de-
| fraud the government and many of the war
contracts were completed before the armstce
on November IL, 1918.
| AS a part of the departments investiga-
ton of all government war contracts for evil
| dence of unfair dealing, officials said, each
case is being carefully examined in the light
of the statute of limitations.
| To remedy the situation generally, officials
| said congress has been asked to extend the
| limit of the federal statute to six years.
Lenine Contradicted
| American authorities at Riga declare that
| the charge made in Moscow by Nikolai Lenine,
that the American intelligence service par
ticipated in IN alleged plot to assassinate Rus
sian Communist leaders is ridiculous. They
say that the announcement Of the plot, to-
| gether with an evident campaign on the
part of the Bolshevik press to connect all
outside famine relief measures with political
aims, has created some apprehension. The
work of the American relief administration in
| Russia might be affected by the decision, it
| is declared. .-.-
1t is pointed out, however, that the Mos
| cow soviet, during the session at which the
| alleged plot was discussed, adopted resolu-
fioV1 icfo nfiN fhn
ment reached with the relief administration,
| and another with the German Red Cross.

| is much worse than in this section, and re-
marked that the Los Angeles Jail is full OF
| millionaires."
| Dispute Goes to League

If Postmaster General Hays materiaIizes
his hopes the matter of keeping posted with
the news of the day will be reduced to the !
simple expedient of buckling on telephone
apparatus. Mr. Hays is absorbed in plan
for a government radio newspaper.
Mr. Hays has commissioned R. B. Howell
chairman of the national radio commissiony
established by the postmaster general, to in
vestigate the workings of the radio tele-

sending stations about 400 miles apart Re-
ceiving apparatus and telephone sets would

and on the farms. Receiving the latest news
