Says Disturbed Condi-

Gunfire
THINKS MISTAKE MADE
Error in Transmission of
Findings of the
Court
(By Associnted Pressl

Paris, May 26.-The French for
eign office has no knowledge Of the
reported conviction of Charles X.
Crane, former American minister to
China, by French military court in
Damascus on charge Of melting a
riot, as reported in press dispatches,
it was stated today.
Mr.. Crane appears to have express
ed himself last week very plainly to
the mandate commission of the
League of Nations council in Geneva
regarding the disturbed political sit
uation in Syria. The substance of
his declaration was that the Syrians
wanted, first of all, complete inde-
pendence and failing that preferred
tina tthe United States take the man
date over the country. If the Ameri-
cans were unwilling, he said, the
Syrians preferred Great Britain, but
under no circumstances wished to be
under the French mandate.
H reiterated the events in Syria
which have led up to the violent man
ifestations on the part of the in
habitants and declared that the
French military had interviewed with
machine guns, shooting down some
of the demonstrants. a
Mr.. Crane believes that if any ac-
ton was taken leading to the impo-
sition against him of a sentence Of
20 years, as reported, it must have
been due to misunderstanding.
The former diplomat, who points
out that he was in Syria solely as a
private citizen, admits that in the
agitated atmosphere prevalent in Sy-
ria there may have been some feel
ing against him, although he declar-
ed that in neither Syria nor France
) has he met with anything but cour-
tesy from the French.
