China May Appeal to 1t Against Ex-
Washington, July 3O.-It is within the
bounds Of probability that the issue which
has arisen between the powers interested in
China as to the medium In which the indem-
mites are to be paid will be settled by ref
erence to The Hague tribunal. q
: Ut is now announced that under circun-
stances will the United States government
be forced into the position occupied by some
of the powers who demand payment from
China on the gold basis, and there are as
,surances of steadfast support for the United
States in this contention from some of the
most powerful governments concerned in the
Peking agreement. Owing to this disagree
ment the proposition is advanced to refer
the whole subject to The Hague tribunal.
China was one Of the original signatories TO
The Hague convention, and is therefore In
position to demand a reference of this ques-
ton. and If the Chinese demand Is supported,
as it will be by the United States, England
and Japan. with perhaps Germany, there is
every reason to believe that there will be
Afforded an opportunity to test the utility
of The Hague tribunal on a great issue.
Minister Wu was in consultation to-day at
the state department with Acting Secretary
Hill on this and other matters srr ~
It is said here that the commercial treaty
between Great Britain and China, approved
at a conference at the. London foreign office
yesterday, is to serve as pattern for sim
liar treaties to be negotiated by the other
powers with China. By the terms OF the
Peking agreement each of the powers IS TO
have equal trade advantages and privileges
in Chica, and It was recognized at tne nme
Of signature that Great Britain, with her
large trade interests in the east, probably
would be the first nation to conclude
treaty.
If the provisions which will be embodied
in the British treaty as it is finally con-
cluded meet the views and wishes OF this
government, the United States may accept
under the most favored nation clause But
it the results obtained by Great Britain fall
short of this governments expectations, then
the United States may push separate nego-
:tiations and conclude treaty OF Its own.

desperate effort had accumulated $40, 900
in cash for his bail, Gardner had to retire
kto the wings, while Colonel Ames, Captain
King and Captain Fitchette lin turn
monopolized the public's attention.
Gardner knew that the grand jury was
after him again and was not in the least
surprised when Deputy Sheriff Clausen
waited upon him this morning and pre-
sented bench warrant He went along
readily and when he appeared in the
courtroom he wore his easy smile and his
customary air of complete nonchalance.
He did not look surprised, but only little
curious when the Indictment was read to
him. According to the Information Of the
grand jury Mayor Ames' and Gardner OBJ
tanned SIS from Ida Elliott, Of Tenth ave-
nue. S, on Dec. II last, :
Ida did not contribute very willingly to
the mayors emergency fund, and only
parted with her money when informed
that she could not ply her unlawful busi
ness in this city unless she assisted in
appeasing the administrations hunger for
money This information is based on the
testimony Of Ida Elliott, Addie M Mills
and Inspector Otto Wirtensohn.
' Gardner was not ready to plead this
morning and asked for little time as his
attorneys wanted to examine the indict-
ment. They were granted until next
Friday to make such motions as they saw
fit. 81, r." r- p
Bail May Be Hard to Get.
/ When it came to fixing bail there was
some little objection on the part Of the
defense. The state was inclined to insist
on additional bail being furnished.
prompt objection was made by Attorney
Mead. He stated that Gardner was al
ready held in $4,000 bail, Of which $4,000
was in the form of a bond given on his
first indictment and $40, 900 cash bail pend
ing the appeal to the supreme court OF
the. case on which he was convicted The
young mans resources had about been ex-
hausted by the heavy demands forced
upon him by the state.
Judge Brooks admitted that he was not
familiar with all the circumstances, but,
to be on the safe side, he would place the
bail at 800. He expressed his entire
willingness to allow Judge Simpson to re-
duce the bail at any time.
Gardner frankly admits that it will be
extremely difficult for him to secure addi-
tional bail. Certainly it will take some
time and some hard work to secure the
amount, and in the meantime he will be
compelled to lie In Jail.

The Usual Denial.

London, July 30.-James Mcdonald, gen.

company, and manager of the Anglo
American Oil company. denies the story
printed in the Daily Mail to the effect
that the oil interests of Rockefeller,
Rothschild and Nobel have entered into a
working agreement. Mr.. Mcdonald said
to representative of the Associated
Press:
Nothing of the sort has. been accom-
plished or contemplated. The rumor must
have sprung from the fact that the Shell
Trading company. which handles much
Russian product in the east, was negotia-
ting in the direction Of securing the ex-
port trade of the whole Russian output.
There had been some slight negotiation
towards taking over the Shell business by
the Standard Oil company, but this was
without result. It is improbable that the
Standard Oil company will depart from
its policy of handling the American prod
uct only so long as that remains sufficient
to suDDly the trade" 54 tr~'-5. ,.

Again the police force has been rent
sunder by the grand jury. Its two high
est ofncials have been struck by mose
grand jury indictments and their two al
legged catspaWs have also. been .overtaken
by new Indictments. Mayor Ames, has
been indicted, Superintendent Ames has
been indicted, Irwin a. Gardner has been
indicted. "Red" Cohen has been indicted.
And still the grand jury is not through.
The state has sprung another form of
attack on the police, as they are now be-
ing indicted in pairs. In the indictments
returned yesterday afternoon. Mayor
Ames is paired with his former student,
paired with Joseph Cohen, the pawn
broker, who succeeded Gardner as col
lector. All are charged with extortion.
Only two were arraigned this morning,
as the other two are out of the city.
Mayor Ames is still supposed to be too
Ill to- travel, but If the authorities find
that he is shamning, there will be no
time lost in bringing him back in the
usual way. r.. 2
'> The Chief Arraigned.
( Chief of Police Fred w. Ames, for the
third time in connection with police scan
dals, was arraigned in the district court
joint one in which the chief and Joseph
Cohen were charged with the extortion of
SIS from Addie Mills Feb. 4, threatening
to close her place at 900 Third street S,
unless the money was Forthcoming.
The chief asked until to- morrow to ena
ter plea and his bond was fixed by Judge
Simpson at $4,000. = y
Victor j. :Welch argued that it was un-
necessary to require his client to give
bonds. He already had bond of s., 900
on deposit with the county and this was
more than ample. Judge Simpson
thought that the new indictment, while
a part, OF the same transaction on which
another indictment had been predicated,
still charged a wholly different offense,
and the state might want to try both sep.
ara tely, consequently bond in each case
was desirable. There was no grumbling

on hand in case they were needed in the
persons of Harry p. Gallaher, the pris-
oner's brother -in-law, and A. N Fair
child of the Pillsbury- Washburn COM
pany, who were accepted as bondsmen.
Colonel Ames was given until to-mor-
row morning to enter plea to the in
dictment.
Colonel. Ames was quite at his ease,
and IL he thought that the authorities
were crowding him too closely to the
brink Of ruin, he did not show it. He
smiled, and If not pleasantly or joyfully,
1t was still smile. He chatted freely
an aeaany With his friends. There was
no malice In his soul whatever, and he
even shook hands with Captain J.. II.
Alexander. who, more than any one else,
is responsible for the magnificent attack
on the most venal police force I'M the
history OF the city. The two had quite
a long talk, and as far as all outward ap-
pearances went, their talk was as friend,
" and cordial as any in which the chief
had part while in the courtroom this
morning.
Gardner VIII Plead Friday.
Irwin "a. Gardner, the confidential friend
Of Mayor Ames was also arraipned sthfs
