the vote will be almost two TO one

calst, appointed by the War Veterans
Bureau to inspect Sea View Hospital,

yesterday and found complaints made
BY veterans unfounded.
Eighty-two tuberculosis patients who

sent recently TO Sea View. Shortly
after their arrival complaints were re
ccived at Washington that the food
served at the institution was of in
ferior quality and that the liberties
allowed the patients we're fewer than

DR.. Patterson and his colleague
found, they said, that the veterans at
Sea View were divided in two fac
tions-the Chronic kickers' and the
mon -kickers.' They reported that the
food was of good quality. AS to tbs

Judge Augustus N. Hand, in the United
States Court, was asked yesterday at
the continuation of the bankruptcy
proceedings against "cneral Gregory
Semcnof, anti Bolshevik leader in
Eastern Siberia, by the Youreveta
Home and Foreign Trade Company to
rule whether the defendant should be
compelled to answer questions dealing
with his operations in Eastern Siberia
not directly pertinent under the bank
ruptcy act.
The hearings being held before
Peter B. Olney, referee in bankruptcy,
in his offices at SO William Street,
have been adjourned until Thursday at
$3.50 when Judge Hand is expected to
rule on the question.
1t was learned before the adjourn
mcnt yesterday that charges brought
against Senemof will be investigated
by the Senate Committee on Educa-
tion and Labor
Rorah Pushes Inquiry
Word was received from Washington
that Senator Borah, chairman Of that
committee, has set out to ascertain the
facts with reference to allegations that
General Semenoff was guilty of the
murder of American soldiers and Of
men, women and children. Senator
Borah has declared that if the charges
are true the Bolshevik leader
should be deported at once.
Announccment was made in Wash
ington that General W. S. Graves,
former commander of the American ex-
petition to eastern Siberia. and Lieu
tenant Colonel Charles H. Morrow, OF
Frankfort, Ky, who was an officer of
the expedition, would be witnesses be-
fore the Education and Labor Commit
tee tomorrow.
The question which caused the ad-
iournmcnt Of the bankruptcy hearings
and on which Judge Hand has been
asked to rule, involves certain actions
of General Semcnof's troops.
Alleged Bank Looting Cited

Neville Boyle, trustee in bankruptcy,
questioned the Bolshevist leader
about a theft from the state bank of

legged to have been taken by Semenoff s
troops. George ". Glaze and Ezra =.

Ger, objected to questions on this sub
iect as not material under the bank
ruptcy laws on which the examination
is predicated.
When Referee Olncy was inclined to
allow the question Mr.. Prentice ad-
vised General Semenof not to answer
and suggested that ruling be obtained
from a Federal judge.

The triple dangers of disease in Rus.

have gone from these diseases. 1t was

self resulted in the death Of hundreds
of thousands of its people. Of these the
most mischievous was the system Of So
called excavations. This was only
started by the government. Collapse
of transportations brought any orderly
movement to a speedy end.
But the people, now taught that
plenty lay over the hills, took matters
into their own hands. The governm ent
vainly tried to catch up with the move
ment by establishing refugee feeding
places in the stations and on the side
tracks. Buildings. in the cities were set
aside for the collection and care OF
refugees in the most desperate condi-

lacking; clothing and bed covers we're
lacking; the people came to these
homes infected with vermin and in the
last stages Of disease.
To-day the governments task in the
