Attempts to Discredit Him

"1 have received numerous com munications with threats but take them as a joke, for the CUTS that write them are too yellow to go through.
 Il find that some people think that have no territory outside of Boston to cover. They fail to realize that have the entire six New England states, for as soon as I leave Boston to visit other cities in my district, they are so kind as to spread stories that I am sick, confined to hospitals, and other re- marks through spite and ignorance They take delight in spreading pro- paganda and try in every way to dis credit me in the enforcement of the law.
 he element that spread these stories are those who are attempting to oper- ate III the illegal traffic of liquor, and 1 want to say that if they attempt to pull liquor from bonded warehouses or try to put anything over, I will show them whether or not I am on the job.
 Il have been offered and confronted with so many propositions that I could have million dollars, but peace of mind to me cannot be bought for a mil lion dollars or 10 million
 During the past I find that many bogus agents have been operating with lhc result lndt muCn propaganda and unfair criticism has been placed upon my men. A few months ago three bo- gus agents were active holding up peo- pie on the roads, and if they found a violation of the federal law they would let the runners go by taking their liquor and accept money to fix the matter up.'
 Now about the matter o4 my iob- about my possible reappointment to this berth If l go, go. If I stay, I stay as the same Mccarthy. I will bargain with no one and believe me I will con- tinue to keep after this gang just as hot as 1 have in the past" he went on.
 One Answer to All
 70, they know me wellS' he fairly shouted, c1enching his fists and grind ing his teeth. 'They are from all walks of life. They've come to me clad in the raiment of the plenty of cash crowd and in the gaudy rags of the afhuent bootlegger and motor rum runner; yes even in the threadbare garments of the pocket peddler.
 Their one plea has been: Let me do this and that with liquor
 "'No, never,' has been my one an swer.

That is what I have answered to

That is what I have answered to them all"
 Aside from the bribes he has per sonally refused, Mccarthy declares his agents have been offered bribes tota1ing thousands of dollars.
 In the New England brewery bribe attempt in which he was offered $1OO,- GOO to permit an official of the brewery to refill 300 bottles with near beer" Mccarthy. tells the following account:
 We were sitting in the office of this official. It was shortly after midnight The bottles containing the evidence of the nights raid were standing in a cor ner Turning to me he asked:
 Mccarthy how much do you get year?'
 Five thousand,' I replied.
 Mac, would $10,OOO interest you?'
 Nothing doing I calmly answered.
 "'How about $500OO?'
 No, and not even million,' final ly said.
 He made the offer of $1OO,OOO to me which I turned down.
 Finally he asked, Mccarthy, how much will this cost me?'
 "'About $4OOOOO in taxes I told him, when he finally made his offer of breaking 50-50.

Stands Squarely on Record

Nothing doing,' I declared, telling him my peace of mind could not be bought with one, five or ten million dol lars"
 A short time later officials of this brewery paid about $4OO,OOO to the gov ernment in revenue taxes.
 Mccarthy declares that friends by the score have come to him urging him to see "so-and-so," prominent politician
 "To every bit of such advice I've re- peated, I never have asked single soul for anything I ever got in this world, this job or any other. I am be- holden to no man. If my record of the past as an official warrants me busted from office all well and good, otherwise if the incoming administration should keep after the ring just as hard as I ever have.'"
 Following the disclosure of a sup posedly million-dollar liquor ring in Connecticut, prominent sporting man informed Mccarthy that four New York gunmen were in town to "get" him, he admitted. He was told that they were trailing him and knew every move he was making, where he lived and the hours at his office. He said he took no precaution on this tip. No men out to knock off myself or any other offic- ial will go to the trouble of telling of his job before the deed is committed" he remarked. "Never be afraid of any bird who will tell you he's going to get you"
 Mccarthy attributes the success of his New England cleanup to his staff and Frank flanagan, former head field agent for this district and recently appointed his assistant

Official Statement on Chinese
Rights BY Far East Committee

The following official statement was
given out by the far eastern commit
tee yesterday.
The committee on Pacific and far
eastern questions met this morning
December 8, 1921, at the Pan-Ameri-
can building at II o'clock. All the
delegates were present with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Underwood. Mr.. Ricci
Mr.. Shidehara and DR.. Moresco.
Discussing the third Chinese pro-
posal.
China Wants Notice.
Mr.. Koo said that the essential prtn
ciple laid down in point 3 OF the
Chinese proposals, which reads as
follows: with view to strengthen
ing mutual confidence and maintain
ing peace in the Pacific and the Tar
east, the powers agree not to con-
clude between themselves any treaty
or agreement directly affecting emma
or the general peace in these regions
without previously notifying CHINA
and giving to her an opportunity to
participate" is that the Chinese gov
ernment should have previous notifi-
catbn of the negotiation of any
treaty or agreement which will affect
Chinese interests.
Agreements. have in the past fire.
quently been made. relating to the
far east or to China particularly,
without participation on the part OF
China or previous notice to the Chi
iese government. In agreements OF
this kind the nations concerned were
presumably diSpoSing of rights ana
interests belonging to them or they
were giving mutual promises win
regard to action which they Wouid
,irl, a u
stain. Taking any one of these agree
ments by itself it might be argued that
it's subject matter was composed en-
tirely of rights, interests and actions
of the parties to the agreement.
Two Parts to Agreement.
This kind Of agreement falls rough
ly into two divisions, one being In the
nature of mutual engagements to alb
stain from certain action in special
parts of China: the other being en-
gagements for mutual assistance in
support Of the general interests OF all
foreign powers in China or of the spe-
cial interests claimed by the parties
to the agreement.
AS to these treaties and agreements
Mr., Koo said he felt that they were
all so well known to the members OF
the committee that the complete emu
meratiOn or SPECIFIC illustrations
would be unnecessary.
The first kind of agreements usu'
ally were in the nature of an engage
ment on the part of one contracting
party not to seek any railway con-
ceSSionS in one part Of China in re-
turn for a similar promise on the part
of the other contracting parties moi
to seek railway concessions in another
part of China.

2. The question had arisen as to
whether and in what measure the res

The drafting committee might well

proposal should be inserted, and also
might consider the position Of other

BY the Associated Press

with rifles and airplanes, she would
be ready to assume an offensive within
two months.

Hanihara OAefp Views.

In relation to the formula drafted by
Sir Auckland Geddes. Mr. Hanihara
full accord with the spirit Of the
formula proposed, However, he would
state his observations on few points.
Firstly, that the formula would not
only be unnecessary in view Of the
fact that the principle embodied In
what had already been stated most
clearly. in the first item Of the Root
resolution, but it might weaken the
force Of that resolution.
secondly, that in the present form
all powers who were party to the
resolution were to be bound in their
actions by the. formula But at the
same time China would be left free to
enter into any treaties or other ar
rengements she desired. He wished

Mr.. Balfour said he thought it was
worth while for him to state. in order
that it might appear on the records
1921, the parliamentary undersecre-
tary Of the foreign office had made
the following declaration in the house
of commons:
"The policy OF spheres Of influence
in China has been superseded by one
of-inteHnational cooperation, and the
further development Of this policy
will no doubt form one Of the subjects

Qualification Asked For.


The chairman therefore suggested
that the Chinese delegation advance
some qualification of their proposal
which would permit the matter to
be discussed in that sense.
Mr.. Hanihara said that he had very
little to add to what Mr.. Balfour had
so ably stated. He only desired to
make the point Of view of the Japa-
nese delegation clear by saying a
few words. The japanese delegation
believed that the sovereign nations
treaty or agreement between them
selves. At the same time, with the
growing influence of public opinion
and of international law, it was daily
becoming evident that, should a
treaty or agreement prove prejudi-
violative Of the rights Of the third
powers. it was bound to fall by itself
under strong pressure OF popular
condemnation, IL not on account OF
action taken against it by aggrieved
parties, either through direct diplo-
matte representation or through the
instrumentalfty of the league of ma
tions, of which China was a member.
But an engagement by the powers
under the formula now proposed by
China would operate as q serious
limitation upon their sovereign right,
and in the opinion of the Japanese
delegation it was neither necessary
nor desirable. =
Sir Auckland Geddes; as a means of
surmounting the difficulty, .ventured
to suggest a resolution. After re-
calling the terms Of the four resolu-
tions adopted by the committee on
November 81, he suggested that to
these should he added fifth. as fol-

Hurley Trims Ironwood.

The Hr--,,ey ball club has been

pill in good condition, journeyed
across the creek Sunday and made
Ironwood swallow the finest cor

Nobby Clark of Eveleth, who
pitched for Hurley, proved to be a
slugger as well as a pitcher. His
welding Of the bludgeon helped to
bring victory to Hurley. True, he
got only one safe one. but it was a
healthy one-a home run. It came
in the second frame with the bases

of Ciark's heavy hitting brought
Hnrley's score to six. Two were
registered in the first frame. And
for good measure Nugent, Hurley

the fence in the seventh inning.
Ironwood registered one in the
first frame and added three more
in the third, which ended their
scoring. Ironwood also had an
pitcher for the occasion
Burgwald Of Winnipeg. He was
touched up for eight hits.
