barfbarities practiced for years
against the natives OF the Belgian

CRANE, VICTIM
OF INTRIGUE

New York. oct. Is. = Charles r..
Crane, who was appointed minister to
China and who was recalled just
about as he was to SAIL for his post,
declined today to reveal what his
friends declare are the real reasons
for his retirement. One of these
friends. however. Walter Il. Fisher of
Chicago, intimated strongly that the
incident was far from closed and thai
revelations which would be made in
due Tins would show Crane to have
been the victim oT political intrigue.
While Cranes cfficial relations are
definitely ended" said Mr. Fisher,
there are many things connected with
thia matter OF such u character and i'm
portance that the American people
must continue to be very deeply con-
cerned In them. Crane has preferred
not to 20 into them now because Of
the possibility that public discussion
at this time might be harmful to the
nHblic interest.
