ENGLAND APOLOGIES
FOR OPENING u. S. MAIL
Letter From American EN-
bassy Was Seized in Irish
Raid.
BIZ the Associated Press.

LONDON Oct. 14.-The censoring or
American diplomatic mail by the Brit
ish military authorities in Ireland has
led to informal Inquiries at the Foreign
Office by J. Butler Wright. charge OF
the American Embassy. A quick ex-
preston Of regret followed on the part
Of tho British Government and a per-
sonal apology from the officer respon-
sible.
The letter In question was an inoffen-
sive missive sent by the Embassy to the
American Consul at Dublin, Frederick
r. r.. Dumont. It was seized by the
British military in n raid on the mail Of
which there were 800 bags. The British
explanation that the letter was opened
by officers not accustomed to censorship
without intent to pry into the diplomatic
correspondence OF the United States has
been accepted by the Embassy. When
the matter was brought to the attention
of the Foreign Office telegram was
sent to Dublin Castle asking for conn.,
plete telegraphic report. which was
forthcoming twenty-four hours after the
message was sent The Foreign Office
was requested to inform the American
Embassy that the incident was very
much regretted, and that the greatest
care will be taken in all future cases."

Detectives who are investigating the

Wednesday morning. failed TO make
much progress yesterday. They ran
dowp several clues which had appeared
TO be promising, Dut none developed into
anything worth while. Late yesterday
afternoon the detectives were devoting
most OF their attention to finger prints
found on the pillars of the front porch
and footprints found on the ground be-
meath. The finger prints are blurred. as
Il the man who made them wore gloves.

The detectives questioned several en-

effects of walters, all of whom are for

to run down a clue presented by the
fact that two theatre tickets were among
the things stolen from the room OF Mrs
c. c. Chapman OF 800 Park avenue, who
lost a 5000 pearl necklace. The de-
tectives waited all afternoon at the door
of the theatre, but no one appeared to
take the seats or try to use the tickets.

DISCREDIT RUMOR
OF CHINESE REVOLT
Cable From President of Re-
public Is Without Refer

NO TROUBLE IN PEKIN
COnsOrtium for Financial Re-
lief Denies Seeking Any
Advantage.
NO TROUBLE IN PEKIN

WASHINGTON. Oct. 14.-Rumors in
Shanghai that the Pekin Government
had been overthrown are believed by
officials here to be disposed OF by a
message received to-day at the White
House from Hsu Shin Chang, President
OF the Chinese Republic. The message
was dated at Pekin yesterday and was
in reply to one of congratulation re-
Gently sent by the President on the oc-
casion of the Chinese national ami
versary.
A cablegram received to-day by the
State Department from the American
Legation at Pekiu dated October IL
referred only to routine matters and
contained no suggestion of any abnor-
NAL situation in that region. This was
accepted by officials as disposing OF
rumors current in Shanghai on that
date that the Pekin Government had
been overthrow.
In preparing the Chinese consortium
agreement for final signature 1t was
stated to-day that the delegates. repre-
senting the foremost banking interests
of the United States, Great Britain,
France and Japan. have inserted new
clause defining the attitude OF the con-
sortium itself toward China. The pre-
else language of the clause follows:
1.-THE said national groups are of the
opinion that the interests of the Chinese
people can in existing circumstances
best be served by the cooperative action
of the various banking groups represent
ing the investment interests of their re-
spective countries in procuring for the
Chinese Government the capital neces-
sary for programme Of economic re-
construction and improved communica-
tons With these objects in view the
respective national groups are prepared
to participate on equal terms in such
undertakings as may be calculated to
assist China in the establishment of her
great public utilities and to these ends to
welcome the cooperation of Chinese cap
ital"
This statement by the consortium as
to its aims in China was issued in re-
Spouse to questions and criticism that
have been raised here and in China. It's
sponsors asserted that there has been. an
erroneous idea deliberately fostered on
the part Of certain interests inimical TO
cooperative effort in China that the OBJ
ject of the consortium was to foist some
particular scheme of development upon
China and to impose loans upon her. thus
obtaining some special position OF ad-
vantage and domination"
Members Of the consortium empha-
sized the fact that the several banking
groups have undertaken its organization
solely at the request of the four govern
ments involved
