Puts Case Involving $187,
000,000 Paid Bakhmeteff by
United States Up to Senate
—Flays Secretary.
Washington, May 9. — Formal de
mand for an accounting by Boris
Bakhmeteff of the $187,000,000 he re
ceived from the United States treas
ury during the brief periods of his
service as Russian ambassador was'
made Monday by Senator Borah, the
pseudo-ambassador's questioner.
Senator Borah made his demand in
a series of questions to Secretary of
State Hughes which he read in the
Senate. He explained that no other'
means of getting any response from
Bakhmeteff was open to him because
of the protection extended to Baklime
toff by Secretary of State Hughes.
The questions, 20 in number, went
into the entire history of Bakhme
teff's receipt of the\ $187,000,000 and
his disposition of the sum. They de
manded information as to how much
of the money had been expended,
whether any was ever returned to the
treasury and what amount, if any,
was expended for the benefit of the
Kerensky government of Russia,,
which Bakhmeteff claimed to repre
sent.
Did Boris Have Credentials?
The senator also made inquiry from
the secretary of state whether or not
Bekhmeteff ever possessed any cre
dentials entitling to him to repre
sent the Russian provisional govern
ment. Copies of such credentials if
they exist in the state department
were required.
A full and complete statement of all,
contracts negotiated in this country
by Bakhmeteff and their final dis
position and adjustment was also de
manded.
The state department is also re
quired to advise the Senate how much
money has been advanced to Bakhe
meteff by the treasury department to
pay his expenses in maintaining him
and his staff in the Russian embassy
and how much was given to him after
Ambassador Francis that the Keren
sky government had fallen.
Borah Explains His Attitude.
Senator Borah explained to the
Senate that the program with refer
ence to the examination of Bakheme
teff and his status was a peculiar one,
but that he was not the author of it.
"In view of the fact that the secre
tary of state seems to think it is prop
er that the examination should go
through the state department and
that the responses of Bakhemeteff bo
transmitted to the Senate," said Sen
ator Borah, "I know of no way to se
cure the details except to ask the sec
retary of state to take into consider
ation some- suggestions which I am
about to make and see if the examina
tion conducted in this way will be
satisfactory to the secretary of state
and the Senate.
“I dislike to conduct this kind of
examination, but if it is possible for
me to ascertain what has become of
the $187,000,000 which was loaned to
Bakhmeteff, I am going to do it. even
at inconvenience to myself and the
Senate."

BRITISH PREMIER
IS IMPOSSIBLE
Insists Conference Will Go to
Succesful End but Bad Mos
cow Answer May Prevent His
Peace Treaty.
BY LINCOLN STEFFENS,
Special Cable Dispatch.
Genoa. May 9.—The “mad people"
as the Russians are called here, vent
ed their wrath on th* French and Bel
gians Monday afternoon, and so hav
ing relieved themselves, a|p expected
to give to the rest of the conference a
“soft answer.”
In their statement denouncing tho
efforts which they said France and
Belgium were making to wreck the
conference the Russian delegation
called attention to the fact that those
two nations were the only ones at
the conference refusing to sign the
memorandum to Russia.
"And yet,” says the Russian state
ment, "they continue to predict that
Russia’s refusal to accept the memo*
randum would dissolve the confer
ence."
What Will Russia's Answer Be?
But Monday night those in the con
fidence of the Russians are shaking
their heads in doubt as to what tho
Russian answer will be and even
Lloyd George is not sure.
Lloyd George came himself to the
press conference Monday evening tak
ing the place usually occupied by Sir
Edward Griggs. However, he did not.
make any address, confining himself
to asking and answering a few ques
tions. He said that the future of the
conference depends entirely upon the
Russian answer. He was told that
Barthou had said that tho Russian
answer must be either "yes” or "no.”
The British premier shook his head
and said:
“There are numerous ways of say
ing ‘yes’ or ‘n#.’ M. Barthou has
had experience in both ways.
"The main point is that the an
swer must be honest and must show
a disposition to meet us part way. I
will not say that there is room in our
memorandum for a compromise on
the nuestion of concessions, but there
is room for elucidation.”
Tchitcherin “Too Diplomatic.”
Senator Schanzer, Italian foreign
minister, said that (he Russians only
seek the elucidation of some clauses
of the memorandum.
"Did Tchitcherin say that he is sat
isfied?” someone asked.
“Oh, no, he is much too diploma
tic for that," said Lloyd George.
To tho question as to whether the
Russian demand for a loan Is feasible.
Lloyd George answered:
“No, no. A loan to the soviet gov
ernment Is impossible.”
Lloyd George insisted to the news
paper men that the conference will
go to a successful end, and added:
“And I think Franco will bo with
us.”
In spite of this, however, Lloyd
George said that he does agree with
Barthou that a bad Russian answer
might bring an end to the conference
and prevent the consummation of hl3
peace pact for Europe.
Lloyd George Like Sea Fignte’-.
Premier Lloyd George probably ex ■
pressed his exact feelings about tho
crisis at the Genoa conference when
he addressed the sailors at the water
front mission here Sunday night.
The British premier slipped down to
the mission and spoke to the British
and other seamen.
“My life Is like yours” he said to
the sea Jughters. “I enjoy good weath
er and'ruffer in bad weather. I can
stand any kind of weather except dull
weather.”
In another part of his address he
said:
“We do not always make port, but
our watchword is courage, and when
we sink we go down fighting.”
“Fighting On.”
There were loud cheers and the
sailors began to sing “Fighting On."
Lloyd George is certainly fighting
on. It is reported that in a heated
conversation with Louis Barthou.
head of the French delegation, who
returned Saturday from Paris, the
British premier declared that he was
“through with the ‘entente.’ ” In the
same conversation it is asserted .that
he .repeated the threat by saying:
“I will no longer bq bound by the
entente. There Is work to be done
end I mean to do it with whomsoever
will help.”
The British delegation have offi
cially denied that these statements
were made hut the story will not
down. It is now apparent, however,
that both the Belgians anti French

cruse the Russians are expected to

Germans CjTge Agreement. ,
Lloyd George appears to he the only
one who is satisfied with the way the
situation is working out. He set the
•Germans and othcV friends of the
Russians to work with the Russian
leaders, urging 'that an answef be
prepared to the conference demands
which would give lime for further ne
gotiations without definitely rej 'Cl
ing the memorandum.
Lloyd George saw Tchitcherin Mon -
day afternoon 'and when they parted
he was smiling and evidently released'
and satisfied, and it was so reported
by the British.
