tion, the police say, of "shooting up"
any whites in tho .vicinity Despairing
of causing an outbreak, ho finally shot
the woman as she sat at the window
of her home.

River

A D Morgan, agent for Charles A.
Painter, the owner, Is trj lng to make

Senator Reed Voices Senti
ment in Favor of New
Cabinet Post
HAVILAND PLANE PROBE
Charges Include Complaint
That Nonflying Officers
Direct Production
fly ic United Press
Washington, July 30.
A new demand for an Air Ministry to
manage the country's aircraft program
bobbed up 111 CongresB today.
"I think the air service has come to
be of such vast Importance that It Justi
fies tho creation of n now Cabinet
position," said Senator Heed, of Mis
souri, member of the Senate aircraft
Investigating committee, which Is t-oon
to Issue a repoit on the whole air
craft situation.
"Some ono mvn should have plenary
powers. He ought to be surrounded by
a staff of tho most skillful aeronautical
engineers and the greatest practical
fliers and some men who know all about
manufacturing without being In the air
craft business."
While Heed emphasized that ho was
speaking only for himself, other mem
bers of the committee agreed with him
that the evidence hefore them Justified
the action recommended
Reed's statement closelv follows the
charges that the De Havlland four plane
is not a success
Although he does not refer dlrertlv
to the Do Havlland plane, he declares
mat "commissions In this separate ser
vice ought to be granted to men who
have shown the greatest skill and pro
llclency In tho service, and they shouln
not find put over them cavalry and ar
tillery officers."
Part of the De Havlland charges It
developed today, nre that nonflying of
ficers and men in charge of production
lnxlbted on continuing the turning out
nnd shipment of the De Havlland plane
over tho strenuous objections of tho filers
themselves.
Many members of the Senate Investi
gating committee are not vet readv tn
declare tho De Havlland a total failure,
however.
Even should It prove so. It dos not
mean that tho whole aircraft program
has gone to scrap pile, thev deninre
although the Do Havlland must bo con
sidered tne backbohe for any claims of
success of the program at present.
ONE FIREMAN HURT
AND FOUR OVERCOME
Eleven Automobiles Destroyed
at Garage Fire; Loss
About $10,000
One fireman was Injured, four others
were overcome by smoke and eleven
automobiles were destroyed In a spec
tacular fire that destroyed the garage

today.
The Injured fireman Is Walter Fields,
fonj -seven years old, 1916 North Mar
shall street, a hoseman attached to En
gine Company No. 27. His leg was
1 aught under a falling beam. He was
taken to the Woman's College Hos
pital. The flro started shortly after 2 o'clock,
In the rear of the second floor. Police
man Wise, of the Nineteenth and Oxford
Btreets station, discovered the blaze. By
the time the firemen nrrlved tho entire
second floor was a mass of flames.
As tho fire gained headway a second
alarm was sounded. Within a few mo
ments the flames had eaten their way
through the flooring and made It Im
possible to remove the automobiles.
The flames shot high Into the air
and endangered several nearby houses.
Firemen were forced to turn part of
their attention to preventing the flames
spreading, and several families living
nearby were forced to flee into the street.
The building, of two stories, was
built many years ago, and burned rap
Idly, The blaze was not extinguished
until after B o'clock. Nothing remained
but the walls and the charred embers
of the machines. Seven were motor
trucks, and the others were pleasure
cars.
Tho building1 was owned by Samuel
Levin, 2213 Jefferson street. The loss
will reach $10,000.

Polisli Engineer, Back"
From Petrograd, Urges
Military Intervention
DETEST GERMAN YOKE
Mass of People Would Rally
to Support of Americans,
He Says
Allied Intervention ln Russia for tne
establishment of n stable government
and the reconstruction of the county's ln- '
ternal and International affairs, which
he believes to bo the only solution of
the Russian problem, has actually been
V,eTJw.ay.for month., according- to
Wltold de Lesnlewsltl, a young Polish
engineer nnd former professor of elec
trical engineering at the Technological
Institute In Petrograd, who Is now in
thh city.
British and French forces were landed
on the Murman coast lait March, de
clared Professor Lesnlewskl today, and
when ha left Russia In April they had
taken over several Russian warships,
which had been abandoned by their
crews at Murmansk, a port on the Arctic
Ocean ; seized the Murmansk Railway to
a pointi southward where a Junction Is
made with tho NIckolal Railway, within
100 miles of Petrograd, and controlled
a territory embracing hundreds ot square
miles.
There w-ere no American forces ac
companying the Allied expedition, but
a military commission cf American army
officers was attached to the Allied staff,
apparently serving as observers and
counselors. No opposition was offered the
Allied forces On the contrary, said
Professor Lesnlewskl, the natives of
that region welcomed the French and.
British when they learned that the ex
pedition had come to help restore order
and throw off tho yoke of Prusslanlsm
forced upon them by the Bolshevlkl gov
ernment and the Brcst-Lltovsk "peace"
treaty entered Into with the Germans
by Lenlne and Trotsky.
TSoIsherlkt Losing Ground
The Bolshevlkl, who never represente4
more than one-eighth of the entire popu
lation of Russia, declared Professor
Lesnlewskl, and possibly not more than
one-tenth, arc rapidly losing ground
everywhere with all classes of Rdsslans,
and soon will cease to be a factor ln
the Russian situation. Russians every
where, he eald, will welcome anything
that promises restoration and tho end
of German encroachment upon tho coun
try. Professor Lesnlewskl Is now living at
the Engineers' Club here, and Is em
ployed by the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion as a power expert. He Is 'twenty
six years old and has spent most of his -lle"ln
Russia.
"Intervention! Joint Allied Interven
tion, with American troops participating,
an American generalissimo commanding
the expeditionary forces, and the Amer
ican Ideal of justice for weaker nations
predominating that, and that only. In
my opinion, will bring about a satisfac
tory and permanent solution of the Rus
sian -problem !" declares Professor Les
nlewskl. People Won't Oppose Them
"Russia and the great mass of the
Russian people of all classes will not
oppose Allied Intervention," continued
Professor Lesnlewskl. "On the contrary,
they will welcome It If It Is led by Amer
ica, piovlded they are given to under
stand that the forces of the Allies come
to them not as conquerors and exploiters,
but as friends and saviors from the
plague of anarchy an,d the accursed yoke
of prussianismi
"When I left Russia Intervention by
French and British forces ln the Mur
man region already was much farther
under w-ay than I found the outside
wot Id had been Informed. Allied war
ships came to Murmansk last March,
took over Russian warships there which
had been deserted by their crews, and
which were menaced with capture by
the Germans, landed a large body of
troops, seized the great railway system
of thai' region, and controlled a vast
territory. The military affairs of this
region are now administered by a com
mission, composed of one member repre
senting the French military expedition,
another representing the British military
forcts, and a third representing the
Soviet. 'Civilian matters wero left ln
the hands of the local Soviets.
"Order was restored out of chaos.
Crime and anarchy were put down. Busi
ness and Industry were resumed as far
as possible. Thousands of persons who
had been half starved for months were
being fed and clothed from American
supplies shipped to Murmansk ln great
quantities. This much already achieved,
and then Russia got the first gleam of
hope that has penetrated the black night
of turmoil and disorder since the Bolshe
vlkl got control of national affairs. To
day Russia's destiny rests In the hands
of America and her allies, particularly
America.
Russians Admire American
'Russians generally are great admir
ers of America and Americans, and have
unbounded faith In American Ideals.
They pray for the day when their own
country may be modeled after the great
democracy of the west. If America
comes to Russia extending the hand of
friendship and help, there will be no frlo-,,
tlon and no opposition to a Joint move-
ment by the Allies to put the nation back '
on Its feet, once more facing the common
enemy.
"When America entered the war,
thousands of pamphlets were distributed
among the street throngs In Petrograd,
setting forth the American alms In 'the.
war. Several of President Wilson'
speeches on the war likewise were placed
before the Russian people. This bit of
propaganda cemented that confidence
and faith which Russians already had
In the United States. The same policy
should be adopted with respect to In
tervention on the scale on which It must
be carried out to be entirely successful.
A few million dollars spent In the right t
sort of propaganda among the people
will do wonders. It also would serve to
combat the constant propaganda of the
Germans.
'The Allies need have no fear of the
Bolshevik threat of war. When the
Germans were within eighty miles of
Petrograd, and still were advancing some
months ago, the Bolsheviks entered .Into
a 'peace' treaty with the Germans at
Brest-Lltovsk and demobilized the Rus
sian army. Once the masses of the peo
ple understand why the Allies are send
ing an expedition to them, the Bol
sheviks can no more make a war on
such an expedition that they could es
tablish a stable government while thev
were at the zenith of their power. Let
them declare war! Let them order the
army to mobilize! The great mass of
the soldiers themselves, now at their .
homes, are sick of empty promises,
starvation, anarchy and the Prussian
voke forced on them by the Bolshevlkl."
