May Cease Then; Poverty,
Not Famine. Next Problem

IRON 1 ne Ir6UheS Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April Ia. 49, Russia's
famine will have been relieved by au-
tumn to the point where the American
Relief Administration may withdraw its
work among the Russian children, it
was officially reported to-day to Secre-
tary Of Commerce Hoover by Lupton A.
Wilkinson, who has just returned from
survey for the Relief Administration.
Cessation of the famine, the report
said, will be due to the improvement in
the 1922 crop, and "the problem from
September on will resolve itself more
into question of poverty than famine"
The report added:
THE disastrous conditions, caused
basically by last years crop failure
in the Volga basin, and constituting
the charity emergency which moved
the American Congress to appropriate
$40, 100000 for relief are being met to
the physical limit Of the present ca
pacity of the Russian transportation

Stories From Porto Rico Nam

From The Tribunals Woshiaoton Buyc,

From The fribuneS Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April Ia. The
troubles Of Governor L. Mont Reilly in
administering the affairs Of Porto Rico
are causing the President little con-
Germ, it was learned at the White House
to-day. He feels that the stories ema-
mating from Porto Rico rejecting on
Governor Reily's honesty and integrity
are purely political and designed to
rritatc and embarrass the Governor
The situation in Porto Rico is not seri
Gus and never has been, President
Harding thinks.
Secretary of War Weeks was in cable
communication with Governor Reilly at
Porto Rico to-day in an effort to clear
up the conflicting reports that have
reached the War Department. He
hopes to have all the information
sought by tomorrow or Sunday, and
will then confer with the President
over what action TO take. He expressed
the view to-day that the Governor was
empowered to remove officials whose
appointment was made by him, but de-
clinc1 further to discuss the case.

invitation rather than subpoena Wheth-

pona later has not been announced.
X was to Mr.. Bakhmeteff that this
government turned over S187 900, 900 for
the Kerensky government. According
to reports current here, which have
come to the attention of Chairman
borah of the Education and Labor Com
mittee. it was due to the efforts Of Am
bassador Bakhmeteff that General Sem
cnofF was allowed TO enter the United
States. General Semenoff visited Wash
ington and is said to have been re-
ceived here by the Ambassador.
Out of the efforts to get Mr.. Bakhme
tef to appear before the committee
there may arise nice controversy over
the question of his diplomatic status
and on what ground the State Depart
ment continues to regard him as the
Russian Ambassador, inasmuch as the
government that sent him here has dis
appeared If Mr. Bakhmeteff does ap-
pear, he will be asked concerning Cen
eral Semenoff and his relations to the
general and whether there is any basis
for reports which have been published
that Semenof is trying to finance in
this country new revolution or new
tiBolshevist campaign in Russia.
1t is assumed that the State Depart
ment will take the ground that Mr.
Bakhmeteff is still the Russian repre-
sentative and entitled to all the i'm
munties that surround diplomats. The
affair may reach the point where a
resolution will be introduced into the
Senate calling for information from
the department as to the exact status
of Mr.. Bakhmeteff here.
Legion Official to Testify
In addition to Bakhmeteff. the com
.mittee is planning to hear at the next
Neeting, which will be held Monday,
the evidence of John T. Taylor, legisla-
tive representative of the American
Legion, on the representations he made
to the Labor, State and War depart
ments, to the effect General Semenoff
should not be allowed to land
1t also is planning to get evidence
from the Labor Department as to just
what happened at Seattle when Gen
eral Semenof arrived there and
whether the Labor Department was
overridden in it's desire to exclude the
Cossack leader by the State Depart
ucnt.
