CHANGES IN CHINA
Prediction Made For Far
Reaching Effect
RETURN BOY EMPORER
Shortage Funds Felt IN Closing
OF All Government
Schools
TAssociated Press Dispatchl


Picking, June Tile Chinese news
papers are freely and openly discuss
ing prospects of far reaching change
in Chinese affairs which have declar-
ed is possible and even probable this
summer. One of the dominant figures
to whom all experienced observers
look for an initial movement in bring
ing about the predicted change is
General Chang Tsi lin, military gov
ernor of Manchuria, whose influence
in the capital is now paramount.
The prevailing belief is that Gen
eral Chang is favorable to the re-
storation to the Chinese throne of the
boy Emperor who has long been a
prisoner In the Forbidden City.
There was widespread expectation
that Chang would enaugurate in the
spring or early summer movement
to put the boy Emperor back on the
throne but it has not thus far mat
erialized. This in turn has given way
20 internal discussions between Chang
and other leaders. Cabinet changes
have ensued and there has been talk
of surpressing the independent move
While the newspapers discuss the
whole subject quite freely yet there
is nothing authoritative and little
opportunity to substanuate the re-
ports so freely circulated.
Many observers attribute these
movements and counter movements
to the well known shortage of funds
from which the military leaders in
China are suffering. The fate of the
government in China hangs to larg-
er extent than Westerners would
suppose upon the attitude of the three
military governors of the northern pro-
vinces who virtually control everything
north of the Yang tse River. Recently
they held meeting in Tien tsin and
entered upon some kind of an arrange
ment for the division of authority
between them. The premier and sew
eral of the ministers made repeated
journeys 20 TieH- tsin to confer with
them and shake up in the cabinet
was made to suit these military COM
manders.
The premier who is opposed to MAX
ing any further loans has proposed a
program of retrenchment which COW
ers disbandonment of troops. The
military governors refused to permit
their troops to be dismissed and
those of the Ministry of War cannot
be disbanded without paying up the
arrears of pay which the government
seems unable to do.
There has been talk of a military
movement to GUST the President, Hsu
Shih- chang, and restore Ii Yuan hung
to the Presidency. The shortage of
funds is so great that even the cabi-
net secretaries have to accept part Of
their salaries in bonds which they
cannot possibly sell. The governments
schools are all closed and the Minis
ter Of education and all teachers have
not pay over sufficient sum monthly
to make sure that salaries and ex
penses will be met.

Couple of Suspects Are
Taken to St. Paul.
G0BBLED IN MANKAT0
Police Here Seized Two Men
Suspected of Impersona-
ing Officers

The vigilence of Mankato's police
force was demonstrated last night
upon the arrival of five of the officers
of the st. Paul central police depart
ment consisting of Detectives E. j.

fact that when searched by the Man
kato police were found 10 have in
their possession st. Paul police stars,
ere also suspected as being part of
a gang which posed as police officers
in that city upon entering a certain
soft drink parlor and later holding UP
the patrons and robbing them.
At first It was thought that the two
men mentioned might have been con-
nected with the robbery of the Click
man residence in st. Paul, from which
over $500 in jewlery and other val
uables were stolen recently.
Officer B. A. Carr in a statement
to The Free Press last night said that
he does not think the men were i'm

dence mentioned, but he had strong
suspicion that they are part of a
gang who have been posing as traffic

ton on the permanent tariff bill were
said to have been topics of discus
between President Harding and re-
publican senate leaders at the capitol.

including Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, the republican leader.
After the luncheon, the president
retired to his private office off the
senate chamber and sent for Senator
