COSSACK LEADER
HAD NDFEAROF
0 0 S SEMEMES
HARBIN, Manchuria, May 13.—The
name of General Semenoff, the Cos
sack leader who opposed the rule of
the Bolshevik government in Siberia
was feared and respected throughout
that country until his force recently
was driven into Manchuria. He ruled
with a stern hand, according to the
many stories that are circulating
through Siberia.
Boisterous and disorderly Bolshe
vik parties returning from the front
to their homes in Siberia became sud
denly quiet when their trains entered
the sector of the trans-Siberian rail
way line controlled by General Seme
noff.
According to these stories, Seme
noff’s methods were not gentle. About
a month ago, the Bolshevik authori
ties in Irkutsk sent a delegation to
Semenoff offering him a large sum of
money and a high position in their
ranks if he would cease fighting
against them, and join their rank.
They requested a written reply.
General Semenoff is said to have
ordered his Cossacks to strip the dele
gates and give them twenty-five lash
es with the knout. When this had
been done he told the delegates to re
turn to Irkutsk and show his reply,
at the same time threatening to serve
all Bolsheviki who fell into his hands
in the same manner.
On another occasion a train load of
reservists going to their home through
Semenoff s section were all shouting
what they would do to the officers
when they got to their homes, when
Semenoff and two of his men boarded
the train. The Cossack general made
himself known, whereupon the reserv
ists sprang to attention and saluted,
and begged to serve under him. Seme-:
noil ordered them to stand at the sa
lute until he ordered them to do other
wise. When he left the train they
gave him three ringing cheers.
About the middle of January, the
Bolsheviki government at Petrograd
despatched the acting minister of ma
rine to Vladivostok to purchase cer
tain supplies. This acting minister had ;
been a sailor on one of the war ves
sels. According to stories which came]
from Siberia, he and his staff insulted
passengers, fired revolvers through the
windows and demanded that telegrams
should be sent ahead for all troop
trains to be sidetracked so as to allow
his train a clear road.
The train was stopped at Douria sta
ion, the minister and his staff were

mouth thereof, in Nizina mining dis
trict, Chitina recording precinct, Al-1

ordered to go on the platform where
Semenoff questioned him and then or
dered him before a drum-head court
martial. The court pronounced him a
traitor to his country, and Semenoff
in pronouncing the death sentence,
stated that all traitors who fell into
his hands would be treated the same
way. The execution took place on the
station platform, one of Semenoff’s
officers shooting the minister through
the heart.
The troops under Semenoff are un

III !H PASSPORTS
MEXICO CITY, May 13.—Rigid re
quirements of the United States gov
ernment in regard to proofs of Ameri
can citizenship before passports are
issued have worked hardships on a
number of old time residents of Mex
ico who always have regarded them
selves as Americans. The case of A.
C. Savage, civil engineer, is the most
notable, for Mr. Savage, although 70
years old, has still to convince the
American consulate that he is an ;
American citizen.
According to Mr. Savage, he was
born in Brooklyn but, after the lapse
of more than half a century, he has
found .It Impossible to produce citi
zenship proofs required by the Amer
ican government.
During his adventurous career, Mr.
Savage located railways in almost
every part of the then wild United
States, including the line of the Tex
as Pacific in the Southwest. \n the
Black Hills he fought Indians with
Colonel W. F. Cody and in the old
Indian Territory he served as deputy:
United States marshal in 1875-76. He
wms the first city engineer of El Paso j
and laid out the towns of Brownsville.
Eagle Pass and Laredo. Despite his
years he is now engaged in a three
months’ rrip through the Pacific Coast!
states of Mexico. His only son is
serving in the American army in
France.

From the Philippines comes the re-1
port that the consumption of wheat
flour has been cut in half; they are
eating rice instead. Thus from East .
