Gen. Gregory Semenof. erstwhile
boss of the anti Bolshevik Cossacks in
the Far Eastern republic and candi-
date for King of Mongolia. was lodged
IN Ludlow street Jail yesterday after
noon while a large and curious crowd
OF East Side anti-SemeEoffs clawed
each other at the prison door for the
privilege Of laughing where he could
see them do it.
The General landed III Jail along
with other but less famous civil pris-
oners because the Fidelity and Deposit
Company of Maryland would not con-
tnue as bondsmcn for him on the
necklace, watch, earrings and bracelet
pledged against the $4,000 bail on
which the Ataman of All the Cossacks
was at liberty.
On Wednesday night deputy sheriffs
had pounded up and down the cor
ridors OF the Waldorf Astoria seeking
the Siberian only to leave with a sneak
Ing suspicion that the badgered Cen
eral had quit the city. But w B. Roul-
stone Of Clark. Prentice & Roulstone,
lawyers for Semenoff assured the
sheriffs that his client would appear with

Sheriff Nagle

At o'clock precisely. Mime. Semen
off. the Generals bewitching wife, pre-
scented herself to Sheriff Nagle. With
her was Col George Kroupsky, once
assistant prosecutor in the old Supreme
Court in Petrograd--before the Roman
offs were overthrown
Nine. Semenoff was her usual self
nicely poised. sweetly smiling and
enormously interested in what was going
on. Col Kroupsky was in excellent
humor although he had just been frisked
IN abrupt American fashion by traffic
policeman at Broadway and Chambers
street because Michael Eisenstein. a
representative OF the Fidelity & De-
post Company, discovered the Colonel
toting 4 huge revolver. The policeman
found the revolver and a permit from
Commissioner Enright.
The Colonel explained that he had pro-
vided himself with the gun as care
taker of Mime. Semenoff's magnificent
jewels which the bondsmen were about
TO return TO her. The Colonel said:

The General was as cheerful as MS
wife. She fluttered to him. petted his
thinly matched head and cuddled into
his good right arm. The Ataman of all tn,
Cossacks, the rough riding warrior who
is accused of saughtering men and
women by the hundreds and the thou
sands, the tremendous Siberian of the
fierce mustaches and the awful reputa-
ton. became painfully fused. A blush
darkened his Mongolian features ana he
thrust madame away. but quickly re-
nented. He graspcd his wife's hand and
neatly kissed II. She repaid him with :
salute on the knucklcs Then the Gem
eral drew the lovely madame ints a
corner. where they INDUCED In what, in
the language OF the f.apper. Is known rs

gan counting the pearls In the necklace.

Generals counsel until 4 o'clock to pro.

Nevertheless tho General went to the
Jail and several hundred children clam
orcd to look at him. In n few moments
their mothers and fathers Joined them.
The chances for a demonstration seemed
good. But the crowd. with the exception
of ono enormously fat shopkecpcr. was
content TO laugh There were cries OF
"IIc used to be boss OF Siberia. Now
he's popped into the debtors prison"
The fat man stood on his tip toes In

lie ought to be shot TO death n the
street like dog"
