COSSACK CHIEF
DEFENDED BY
1C0LLEGEPREST.
ASUlNCTHx. April IS. 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
