young woman that he was not the

Cotton. The Negro was conveyed
back to Pc.,lshTrg after being aiken

After his arrest yesterday after
noon about 3 O'Clock Jones was car

field courthouse and held there. At Q
O'Clock this morning the officers were
making plans to drive across the
country some eight miles away, to
',hc home OF the young woman, Enough
they declared that there was nc

DENIES u. S. GROUP
HAMPERED PEKIN LOAN
Lamont Explains Endeavors
to Assist Financing.

In comment on the dispatches from
Washington, Thomas w. Lamont of j.
p. Morgan & Co, chairman of the
managing committee Of the American
group in the consortium, made the fol-
lowing statement
1.-THE intimation that the American
group made 1t difficult for China to
obtain loan in the American market
is unqualifiedly false. On the contrary,
the American group, though not directly
concerned or interested in the loan that
fell due on November 1, made the most
strenuous endeavore to assist China to
meet its maturity.
There was no particular reason why
tie American group should undertake to
lend money to China in order to take
up it's outstanding loan. for the con-
sortium was originally established not
for the purpose of looking after China's
current obligations but rather in order
to furnish to her from time to time as
she might require them fresh funds for
actual constructive purposes, such as
currency reform, the building of rail-
ways, etc. Because. however. word was
received from Pekin to the effect that
the Government might have difficulty in
reeting its nearby maturities, the
American group endeavored to formulate
a plan whereby such maturities would
be cared for and sufficient funds adj
vanced to China to enable her to remedy
her failure months ago to pay the cou-
pons upon certain of her outstanding
Huiluang Railway bonds.
These bonds had been originally is
sued in Germany, but had apparently
even before the great war fallen into the
hands of innocent holders in other coun-
tries, and Chinas failure to meet the
coupons as presented by those innocent
holders had resulted in injuring her
credit here so the American group felt
that any new issue would be more than
doubtful of success unless funds were
provided to enable China to cure her de-
fault. The intimation that these past
due Hukuang coupons constituted
claim on the part of our firm Is entirely
without foundation. as neither we nor.
SO far as we are aware, other members
of the American group are holders OF
these bonds"

Visibly moved and interested, Presi-

Japan. 1t did him good, he said, to meet

her for coming.

NOTE ON DEFAULT

Meet Loan Seriously I'm

Government Is Broke Because
Military Governors of Prov
inces Withhold Taxes.
Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.

Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c.. Nov. :.
China's default on both principal and
interest OF her $5,OO0,OO0 loan advanced
by Chicago bank has precipitated the
question of the acceptance by China Of
the International consortium plan of ad-
vancing loans, which she has hitherto
disapproved. 1t has called attention to
the lack of central governmental control
In China and the necessity that will face
the approaching arms conference of deal
ing with the entire Chinese situation in
a courageous way
Secretary of State Hughes made It
plain to-day there had been no threat of
Withdrawing recognition from the Pekin
Government If the loan is not taken care
of. 1t is admitted that note has been
sent to China in which 1t was made plain
that the default seriously impaired the
credit of the Chinese Government and
that it made it difficult for the friends
of China to be active in her behalf at
the conference.
The suggestion has been made that
negotiations be reopened so the default
shall be technical and not actual.
The members Of the Chinese delegates
in Washington fully realize that the de-
fault has injured their standing In the
arms conference and are advising their
Government accordingly.
The situation in China can easily be
stated. The Pekin Government Is
broke" because the military governors
of the provinces refuse to turn over the
taxes collected by them. 1t is as II the
Washington Government found itself
limited to the collection of taxes in the
District of Columbia and the Federal
taxes collected in the States were kept
by their respective Governors.
