This Is two and a half times greater than the amount the allies claim for Russia. , An Italian statement regarding the meeting was more optimistic.

Mr. Bakhmeteff, sent here In 1917 'by tha Kerensky government of 'Russia, was not in Washington when the subpoena was issued, but it was said at the embassy that Im munity would be claimed. Em bassy officials added they would suggest to the state department that American statutes make it a punishable offense to attempt to serve a subpoena on an ambassa dor. s To District Attorney Haywood, at New York, Senator Borah sent this telegram: "Is there any possible way by which Semenoff, now in Ludlow Jail, can be held responsible., for the murder of American soldiers in Siberia? The evidence seems very clear" . In explanation of the message the committee chairman said that W his opinion the evidence collect ed by his committee during hear Ings was sufficient to weront' ri indictment for murder If there was any way by which It could be done.
