A note about China:
The fighting between WI Pei Flu
and Chang Use Lin reminds me OF
the most Chinese remark that
heard from any Chinese person dur
ing the Washington conference. II
was from Chow TIE Chi, now prime
minister at Peking. A group Of Eng
lishmen, Frenchmen and Japanese
were talking with him one night.
They asked him why the Chinese did
not rise against the military hespots
in China called "tuchuns," Of whom
wu Pei Flu and Chang Tsc Lin are
examples. Chow TIE Chi said:
why rise against them7 Once
there were twenty-three of them.
But they fought among themselves,
Now there are only four. These four
will presently fight among them
selves. In time then there will
therefore be at last just one
'tuchun'-Just one"
But he" said all the English
men, Frenchmen and Japanese
will than be the military master
and tryant of all China. He will
be emperor"
Not at ALL" said Chow TIE Chi.
TT is just the other way. When
the 'tuchuns' have reduced them
selves to one 'tuchun,' then that
one 'tuchun' will be altogether un'
able to maintain himself against
the 500. .o00, 900 people Of China. and
he win fall. and then we shall have
democracy. So why should we rise
against the 'tuchuns' now7"
The Englishmen, Frenchmen, and
Japanese gasped. Today we shall
presently know whether Chow TIE
Chi was right or not.

WIFI: SHOT
A 7 RIVAL,
POLICE: SAY
Indictments to Be Asked for
Mohr and Man Who Says He
Got 1000 for Killing.

MT. HOLLY, N. j., May L.
Harry C. Mohr, brother-in-law of
@Honest John" Brunen. and
Charles M. Powell. whom he is
charged with employing to kill
the wealthy circus owner, may be
indicted today by the grand jury
here.
County Prosecutor Kelsey will
ask for indictments of murder in
the first degree against both
men.
Leading a Double Life.
Evidence that Harry Mohr has
been leading a double life for some
months is now in possession Of the
county authorities, Detective Ellis
Parker said today.
Mrs. Mohr, his wife, knew of the
existence of the other half OF her
husbands life, and on one occa-
sion attempted to shoot the woman
who shared her husband.
Mrs. Doris Bruen, widow of the
slain man. was still among the
missing today. Her home in Phil
adelphia was unoccupied, and the
employees OF the Mighty Doris and
Ferrari Shows, the circus owned by
her husband, did not know where
she might be found. She and
Brunen's daughter, Hazel. have
been on tour with the circus in
small towns about New Jersey and
Pennsylvania since April l.
Widow To Be Witness.
''Mrs. Brunen will be a witness
at the grand jury hearing" Coun.
ty Detective Ellis Parker declared
today. He refused further to COM
ment on the widow, who was accused
by her husband two weeks before
his death with plotting TO do away
with him.
Indications today were that Harry
G. Mohr, Mrs. Brunen's brother,
would have a strong defense against
the murder charge. He has an alibi
which will be supported by DR.. vii.
liam Paulson, of Philadelphia, and
others connected with the family.
Pretty and detected looking, Mrs.
Marie Powell, the twenty-year old
wife of the man who admits shooting
Brunen for 81 900. will arrive in Mt.
Holly today for the grand jury hear
ing.
With her old baby she
stood at the door OF her home In Cam
den today and discussed her hus-
bands dilemma with newspapermen.
Says Mohr Gave Money.
'I can't believe he could DO such
a thing" she said. II knew Mr..
Mohr very well, and I've always
thought of him as a kind and gen
erous man. He gave us MOI ey,
but didn't know II was for such a
purpose. I thought ne was lending
Il, and again and again aGked
Charlie how we would ever be able
TO pay so much money back
again"
The young wife seemed to have
little notion of the seriousness of
her husbands crime. She has never
lived In a city or Travelled with the
circus. she said. She married Powell
eighteen months ago in her home
town. which is also his, near Indian
spolis. Much of her life she livC1 on
a farm.

Her mother-a cat Of wandering
habits-wandered into the exercise

are rearing her with the closest at
tention to her character and diet.
The next most important news Is
that Eugene Meyer, Jr., OF the War
Finance Corporation, has Joined
Arthur Woods Of the Unemployment
Clearing House in calling a job done
when II gets done. Mr.. Meyer tells
me that the proposed extension OF
the life OF the War Finance Corpora
ton for six months or a year will be
only for the purpose OF letting the
business OF the corporation gradual
ly and gently peter out. Mr. Meyer
will this week collect back $4,000. 900,
which he loaned out Of the corpora.
tIon's funds to the International
Harvester Company. and $4,000, 900,
which he loaned to the Baldwin
Locomotive Company. He nowadays
is beginning TO collect back more
money than he loans out. This Is
the soundest proof existing in Wash
ington OF the approaching return OF
normal times.
II appears, however, that Mr..
Meyer wishes TO leave behind him
a monument. gather that this
monument will be an Improvement
of our normal peace time methods
OF financing agriculture. Mr..
Meyer confers n great favor on
the National Capital by not de
manding that the War Finance
Corporation, with its tremendous
concentration of financial power in
few hands, shall become perma-
nent. His recommendations 20 the
L. ~ Nhaa
financing OF agriculture are for
the most part recommendations
simply for improving our existing
peace-time financial institutions in
such a way as to cause them to
function more effectively.
Mr.. Meyer. the friend OF the farm
bloc, is a banker, and his father
was a banker before him. In fact,
IL is worse. The Meyers are not only
bankers but international bankers.
The father was a distinguished part
OF the distinguished firm Of Lazard
Freres, of Paris, London, and New
York. The son went out and made
a firm OF his own. He was born in
California, however, and Is, there
fore, a Native Son OF the Golden
West" as we'll as a person with pa.
ternal associations with Europe. In
Washington he lives out on the Con-
necticut avenue hill in a large house
where he has a wife and n consider
able number OF children, and gives
parties which seem to be a happy
combining OF the farm bloc and the
diplomatic corps.
He naturally knows more about the
technique OF banking than tho farm
bloc does; and he may be said to be
in a way their technical financial ex-
pert. He says that the root OF the
trouble in the financing OF the mar
keting of farm products IL that our
methods of extending credit to farm
ers have been based on the 90-day
short-term needs and ideas OF the
London discount market instead OF
on the one-year or two-year or
three-year long-term facts and needs
OF the growing and marketing OF
crops and cattle.
He proposes TO make finance be.
come the servant of the ne ,essary
processes of agriculture instead OF
keeping agriculture the crippled vic
tim of the arbitrary habits and edicts
Of finance. He is a man of youngish
middle age, with very lively brown
eyes and with presumably many

After reading the letter, Barthou
declared that France had never been
hostile to the Russian people with
whom the French are anxious TO re-
sumo relations. Frances grievances,
the French delegate added. are only
against the Russian government

In response to Tchitcherin's pro.
test that Russia had been barred
from participation in the discussion

points in order TO facilitate exchanges

May Reject Conditions.
Intimation that the Russians viii
reject the allied statement OF condl'
tions for recognition OF the Moscow
government was contained in the FOL
lowing statement by Leonid Krassin,
of the Russian delegation, to the IN
ternatIonal News Service this after
noon.
From what l have seen OF the
allied statement, II seems merely a
repetition of the London memoran'
dunn. which we have already an
wered with our own memorandum.
The latter stands in every particu.
lar until conditions are fulfilled
which would permit us to modify 1t.
The conference drags into its
fourth week with less prospect of a
Russian settlement than ever, In the
opinion of many of the delegates,
who refuse to share Premier Lloyd
Georges optimism.
The allied statement OF conditions
for recognition of the Moscow gov
ernment was TO be handed to the
Russians this afternoon. and II was
regarded as certain that II would
be ultimately rejected. The only
question was whether the Russians
would ask time to consider II and to
prepare new voluminous counter
proposals or reject II forthwith.
The allied statement was under
stood TO be largely conditional, off
setting the conditions imposed by
the Russians In their previous
declarations. Each side wants the
other 10 start to fulfill first" and
each side is evidently certain that 1t
can hold out longer than the other.
