A complication over the presence of General Semennff In this country arose today when the senate labor committee sought to subpoena in Us . imeteff, the last accredited Russian ambassador to the I'nited States and found Its right lo do so contradicted under the practice of "diplomatic Im munity." SAN FRANCISCO. April 15. Gen eral Gregorio Rr:ienoff, former ata man of the I'ossarKs, whose financial i entanglements led him to a New York j jail, waa termed a friend of the j Americau troops in Siberia, in a state j ment published in the Chronicle" to day by Oavid H. Farrows, president of 'the Cnlversity of California. Presi dent Uurrows was colonel of the Fifty-seventh Infantry when that rect ment guarded a railroad at Chita, Si beria, where there was a clash be Ican outpost in the summer of 191S. The educator said, according to the Chronicle. "General Semenoff Is a human brute, a man to whom death U a jest, but he was the friend of the American troopB In Siberia and just" now is much misunderstood." The interview quotes Dr. Barrows is caving that Semenoff was "one of the greatest fighting leaders In the world, a man absolutely without fear." On one occasion, according to the statement. Dr. Barrows saw the Cossack leader wounded four times by grenades In an. 'engagement with the bolshevikl. The charge that Semenoff permitted American troops to be murdered was declared due to a misunderstanding resulting in the 1 i bitter feud between Semenoff and Ad- mtral Kolrhak. Tho Americans held the western sector, added the Interview, and It was necessary for Semenoff to send a train ' of troops across the road guarded by Uncle Sam's troops. Col onel Morrow, who with the others recognised Kolrhak as commander, requested Semenoff first to get Kol- chnk's approval, Semenoff refused. His men were sent on and were stop ped at the American sector by out posts. There was a dispute and fir ing broke out. A few Americans were killed. Practically all the Rus sian force was wiped out: they being mowed down almost to a man. "I do not want to appear to defend Semenoff, neither do l want to con denm him. He was a man of iron. both In courage and leadership "More than once he told me of his Intense admiration for American 'roops. I know ho was earnest In his good will and support of Amerl can forces and made every effort to enlist our aid before he accepted the offer of the Japanese. "Whatever ho did was with the solo aim of beating the bolshevikl whom ho hated. I wns with him when ho advanced through Mongolian ter ritory to Chita fighting for tho a'lies It was l"0 miles nnd he -forced his men through In ten days.'
