questions relative to the expenditure
of the s1s7, 900, 900 lent tb the Kerensky
Government by the United States.
In the Senate last Thursday the
Idaho Senator charged that mo portion
of that vast sum ever reached the Rus
sian people," and that he had reliable
information to the effect much of it
was invested in real estate in New York
and Chicago. intimating that Boris
Bakhmeteff, the accredited Russian AM
bassador, was the chief beneficiary.
Responding to the charges made by
Senator Borah. Secretary Hughes sent
letter to the Senate Saturday in which
he declared all the money lent to the
Kerensly Government had been ac-
counted for and Mr.. Bakhmeteff was
absolved from all accusations.
Questions Submitted.

tions propounded to the State Depart
ment by Senator Borah:

for treason continues to be overshad-
owed by the outbreaks between the
Charles Town police and the State
Troopers stationed here. both being en-
trusted with the administration of the
law.
Two clashes have been recorded,
10th of which centered about Lieut..
Mack B. Lilly, in charge Of the con-
stabulary detachment here; but they
have been smoothed over.
Following apologies over the arrest
and brief imprisonment Of Lilly on
saturday Lilly was charged in another
warrant with having assaui ID a negro
early to-day. M
The warrant originally vas issued
against John Doe" the identity of the
State officer being uncertain. The con-
stable was unable to serve It In that
form, and subsequently it was modified
to make it read against Lilly But the
warrant had not been served to-day, and
there were indications that tbs matter
also would be covered up.
Trespass Resented.
Under the surface. however. feeling
has not abated. The townspeop.e resent
what they consider trespass by the State
troops. and it is conceded tha' the situa-
tion is perilous The particular desire
OF the residents is to get id of the
State officers and leave matters In the
hands of the local authorities and such
assistants as may be deputize:.
On the side lines the miners are en-
joying the whole affair, for much as they
would like to stage the row themselves
they are content to have others do 1t for
them.
The State continues to pile UP its
evidence against William Blizzard To-
day Capt. j. ]. Wilson, who commanded
troops in the Blair area, testified un-
qualifiedly that Blizzard was an ac-
knowledged leader OF the miners. but
added that without Blizzard the set

Capt. Wilson testified about negotia-

about the surrender of the men. Blizzard
promised him at conference that II he
would accompany Blizzard the follow

They gained the idea partly. he be-

Adjt-Gen. John II. Charnock told how

he and union officers were proceeding
to Sharples on August 26 to investigate
the shooting there on the previous night.
The engineer of the train declared he
would not run farther because men
were threatening to blow it up. but
the armed miners finally agreed to let
them proceed.
Lyle Hoffman testified that he had
heard miners declare one of their pur-
poses in going to Mingo was to
''nullify" martial law there.
He was questioned closely by the de-
fense attorneys as to what he he meant
by "nullify." and he finally admitted
that the miners probably used the word

Continuing his attack on the Depart
ment of Justice for It's alleged laxity
in prosecuting war graft cases. Repre-
sentative Woodruff (Mich.) to-day de-
manded the discharge Of Abram F.
Myers. special assistant to the Attorney
General.
Mr.. Woodruff called attention to an
interview Mr.. Myers gave to news
paper correspondent in which he denied
he had anything to do with the Standard
aircraft cases which are before the de-
partment. Mr.. Woodruff said he had
evidence to prove the contrary.
II understand" said Mr.. Woodruff.
that the rules Of the Department OF
Justice do not permit any person con-
nected with it to give information to
Congress or to make public statement
without the approval of the Attorney
General and that violation of the rule
subjects the informant to removal for
disloyalty.
"I therefore assume that Mr.. Myers's
communication to the press Is an official
statement and that unless he Is INN e.
diately discharged. as other subordinates
have been. his statement has been au-
thoriZed by the department.
"If Mr.. Myers is speaking with the
authority Of the Attorney General. 1t is
TO be regretted that he has not under
taken ito answer all the allegations and
questions which have been raised in
regard to the conditions of the depart
ment.''
Myers ExcuIpntes Himself.
Mr.. Woodruff called attention 10 the
following portion of letter Mr.. Myers
sent to former Attorney General Wick
ersham. which was given to the public

gagged on this work for little over

not under your supervision, and since
that time you have had nothing to do

Mr.. Woodruff explained that the

He Will Be scapesoat.

1t seems likely that Ambassador
Jusserand is to retire. 1t may be that
he does not want to retire, and that
there is something in the story to the
effect that his government is dissatis-
fled with his course at the great con-
ference, or pretends to be dissatisfied
with it, and therefore is willing that
he shall resign his place and go back
home. The truth remains, however,
that it will be case of making
scapegoat of the ambassador for the
shortcomings of Viviani, BRAND and
the publicity committee which the
French government sent to the United
States to work and which did no work.
Jules j. Jusserand will sail back
to France in a comparatively short
time for a vacation. Washington ex-
poets to see him return in the fall,
but there is feeling that after he has
rounded out his score of years service
here he will send in his resignation.
Washington will miss him.
