CALHOUN
MINISTER
TO CHINA

Washington, Dec. civilian J.
Calhoun, a Chicago attorney, today
accepted the post as minister to
China. His appointment, according
to information from the state depart
ment has been declared satisfactory
to the government. Calhoun is re-
garded here as one of the most sue
cessful practicing attorneys in the
country. For years he has been re-
tanned as counsel by many of the
largest railroads in the country, and
Is said to draw an annual salary that
is surpassed by few men in his pro-
fession.
Prior to the Spanish war Calhount
went to Cuba and reported on ac-
tual conditions there to President Nc
Kinley's cabinet. In 1906 he was
dispatched by President Roosevelt to
Venezuela on a delicate mission. His
services on this occasion are said to
have prevented possible disputes be.
tween the Uniaed States and Euro
pean nations, as a resul tof conditions
precipitated by Dictator Castro.
Calhoun's appointment TO the i'm
portant Chinese post, 1t Is thought.
Will put an end 10 the federal embar-
rassment which results from the ina
bility OF the authorities TO fill the
mission. The problem was supposed
to have been solved by the appoint
