Heartless Monster of lniquity Repudiated by Backers When Gen. Graves Tells Facts.
DEPORTATION COMES NEXT
Woman With Him Begs Sheriff to Take Her Jewels and Let Him Co; Justice Iriumphs.

NEW YORK, April 14.-"General Gregorieff Semenoff, Cossack ata- man, heard the heavy steel doors Of ludlow Street jail slam behind him last night, after a day of frantic ef- fort on the part of his lawyers to find bondsmen who were willing to put up $25,OOO bail, secured by many times that amount in collateral.
 Semenoff was surrendered for inn prisonment by his original bonds men, who refused to continue as sureites after General William s. Graves, Commander of the Ameri- can Expeditionary Forces in Siberia in 191S-'19, had informed the Senate Labor Committee of Semenoff's true status as cut-throat bandit and butcher of the innocent and de- fenseless Siberians
 The woman who accompanies him as his wife createl a dramatic scene by imploring Sheriff Nagle to take her jewels for the bond, worthy many times the amount demanded, but the sheriff explained that he could not do so; that orders had come from the highest authority to put Semenoff in jail.
 The deportation of the Far East outlaw is next in order, through the activities of the Senate Labor Con- mittee, headed by Senator William E. Borah.

GREAT POLITICAL
CONFUSION IN ENGLAND

London, Oct. 19.-(By the
Associated Press). - Lloyd
Georges coalition received its
death blow at the hands of the
conservative party when con-
servative members of the
House of Commons and gov
ernment ministers voted 1876 to
81 to appeal to the country ~
a conservative party. This
creates a situation of the
greatest political confusion
and uncertainty the country
has known in many years.
The next move certain to be
made will be the resignation
of Austen Chamberlain and
his associates, Lords Balfom
and Birkenhead, from the cab
met. 1t is expected the pre-
mier will then present his
resignation to the king and ad-
wise his majesty to summon a
conservative leader to form a
government.

HOOVER AVOIDS
TIMELY ISSUES

Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 18.-Former Gov
James M. Cox of Ohio, addressing ,
Democratic rally here tonight, charg
ed that Secretary of Commerce Hoo
yer, who spoke at gathering O.
Republicans here Monday night
avoided timely issues when he dis.
cussed the country's foreign debts.
The former governor made no di-
rect reference to the league of ma
tions, the issue upon which his cam
paign as the Democratic candidate
for president was based in 1920.
Referring to the intensive cam
paign being conducted in the state by
Republicans, Mr.. Cox said. "Ohio is
signally honored this week. Most of
the cabinet officers are paying us a
visit. Whether it is courtesy to the
home of the president or whether the
Old Guard has received an sos mes
sage, | will not attempt to say"
In discussing Mr.. Hoover's speech
Mr.. Cox said that Ordinarily his
analysis of conditions results in con-
clusions that are thoughtful and in
teresting. We awaited with eager
ness his message to the people of
Ohio with respect to the existing eco
nomical and political situation. We
naturally looked to Mr.. Hoover for a
recital of the good things the admin
istration has done and explanation OF
what it has not done.
ITO our surprise, we find that he
devoted his time to discussion Of
the foreign debt. Our people are
much more interested in debts that
effect them more intimately. The
farmers have never been such large
borrowers at the banks. This year
the banks will be compelled to lend
more money for tax payments than
ut any time in our history. Mr.. Hoo
yer comes into state, where the
state rate is ten times what it was
under the last Democratic admins
tration-into a country where prop
crty holders in dollars and cents paid
almost $11 100000 in taxes in 1921
as against $4,5O0,OOO in 1915 and lit
lie over $2,000,000 in 1900.
"In addition to these burdens, an
additional load of $5,000,0 100000 is
about to be added to the cost of iv-
ing through the passage of an in

Wesare. more interested in the things
of the present" SSg's5
after setting forth a comparison
of falling produce prices and wages
in face of rising taxes" Mr.. Cox de-
clared, "Mr. Hoover might haxe ex-
planned proftably why defiation came
so quickly 70 the farmer and why it
was that the demand from abroad di-
minished ALMOST to the vanishing
noint. He lnight have responded to
he suggestion of the American
Bankers association, which touched
directly the matter of rehabilitating
our foreign markets. He should have
devoted some time to a discussion Of
our hermit policy and cited prece-
dent for the United States remaining
rs unmoved as stone in the face Of
one of the most cruel tragedies in all
history.
"He should have made it clear how
the nations that owe us money can
ever pay us if all the powers of the
earth do not extend their coopera-
tion. commercially and otherwise, in
the work of rehabilitation.

MITCHELL MAKES
NEW AIR MARK

Mt. Clemens, Mich, Oct. 1s.-Brip
Gen. William Mitchell, assistant CHIEF
OF the United States army air service
today set new official worlds speed
record when he few over one kilo-
meter course at Selfridge field at an
average speed of 224.O5 miles an hour
in four heats. The test was timed by
representatives of the federation
aeroque internationally, this making
the record official.
General Mitchell drove the army
CHI Hss plane which last week won the
Pulitzer speed trophy and in which
oficially at speed of 248.5 miles an
hour. While Lieutenant Maughan's
speed at sfat time was faster than
that of today and was under United
States army regulations, no represen-
tatives Of the Federation Aeronautaue
internatlonale were present, a fact
that. prevented his mark standing as
an official worlds speed record.
The former worlds record, recog-
nized by the federation, was made In
lance last year by Sadi LIE Cointe.
wN. piloted his machine at an average
of 205 miles an hour.
General Mitchell in the tests TODAY
flew twice with and twice against the
wind. On the two tests with the wind
he averaged 243.94 and 241.8 miles
an hour respectively. Against the
wind his average was 2O4.29 and
206.15 miles an hour.
Commenting on his great speed.
General Mitchell said it might now be
considered "an ordinary feat" for an
aviator in one of the modern high
power planes to attain a rate far in
exc ;ss Of 200 miles an hour Only
mechanical development with increas-
I'd Protection fer pilots, was necessary
he believed to register even faster
flights than have been made.
General Mitchell's leather helmet
was split by the wind during his rush
through the air. This showed, he said
that the aviators' headgear must be
re-designed before the high speed
could be maintained with safety. An
inclosed cockpit might also aid in
solving the problem, he said.
The force Of the wind at the speed
!e attained today, General Mitchell
added, probably would be great
enough to brea a pilots arm were he
to thrust out his hand during such a
hight. To set the new official record,
General Mitchell drove an army Cur
tiss biplane mounting a 400 horse
power Curtiss engine.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover wit
nsssed the fight and congratulated
army and navy and CIVILIAN shgineeFs
on their great strides in aeronauticai
development.
