CHINA TREASURY !. CHEST DEPLETED
Administration Will Be Un- able to Weather Financial
 Crisis, Says Minister

PEKlNG, China, July 18.-(By the Associated Press)-President Lii Yuan Hung's administration will be unable to weather the present financial cri- sis, Minister of Finance Tung Rang predicted today. With the treasury empty, the finance minister today closed the doors of his department and announced that they would remain closed unAl funds could be found.
 The finance minister presented his resignation to President Lii, but the latter refused to accept, while Acting Premier w. w. Yen urged Tung to remain until parliament meets.
 Officials who applied at the treas ury doors, found them locked and the departments employees dismissed.
 In announcing that the finance de- partment had ceased to function tenn porarily, Funk Rang said that the gov ernment was unable to meet it's cur. rent expenses. that thousands of gov ernment employees were clamoring for back pay, due many months. whiel the military governors of the provinces were demanding huge sums, 'ostensi- bly to pay their troops. He charged III presenting Hlo TtSlSudllOU, I0dI there had been lack of cooperation on the part of the government in his efforts to reorganize the country's if nances.
 The national treasury is utterly depleted" said the finance minister and he added:
 Today we are reaping the harvest from the seeds of accumulated loans and malpractice by individuals en- trusted with public funds during the past years. Even the wisest of us are unable to provide solution"
 China's finances, said Minister Tung are hopeless unless the provinces are compelled to furnish their share of the expenses of the federal govern ment.
 He asserted that China was unable to negotiate any further foreign loans because of the unsettled condition of the country.
 Official circles fear that the closing of the finance department may bring on a crisis in which other depart ments also will suspend operations.

BLASTS R0CK ART QUARTER
 IN NEW YORK
500 Bohemians Are Driven From Homes; Barred by
 Police From Returning
TWO FIREMEN KILLED
Three Others Missing; , Are Taken to Hospitals; l75
 Are Given First Aid

NEW YORK, July 1S.-(By the As sociated Press) A stubborn, puzzling warehouse fire in the Greenwich Will lage section of the city broke out about 8 o'clock this morning, burned through the day, and was still blazing tonight after nearly 100000 gallons of water had been played on the flames by forty hose lines.
 "The toughest fire I've ever encoun- tered" was the way Acting Fire Chief Smoky Joe" Martin put it to Mayor Hylan when he returned to direct his men after having been blown out of a doorway by a series of explosions which rocked the lower west side.
 With the flames checked but not conquered, investigation showed that two firemen had been killed, three more were missing, about fifteen per sons had been taken to hospitals ser iously injured and more than 175 had received first aid treatment at three emergency stations opened by the Red Cross. Tn addition, about 800 families were driven from their homes in the Bohemian quarter and tonight were barred by the police from returning, lest the warehouse walls collapse.
 The outstanding feature of the fire was the mysterious, pungent black smoke that rolled out of the building soon after the first of the blasts.
 It came in never-ending clouds, set ting down about the base of the store house and binding the fighters so that they could not see the flames they were combating. Thought mid summer sun blaZed down until late in the afternoon when thunderstorm broke, the firemen found it black as midnight and rigged great searchlights in their efforts to pierce the enfolding darkness.
 Baffled as to the cause of the fire,

Villagers Aid Bremen Combat Flames
Charges Agricultural Duty Slash Used As Club To Put
 Over Raise On Cotton Rates

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-A charge by Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wis consin, that threats to slash rates in the agricultural schedule had been used in an effort to keep Republican senators in line on rates in the cotton schedule of the pending tariff bill, en- livened senate debate today on that measure. In this connection, Senator Lenroot took to task some of his col leagues for what he termed "blindly following" the finance committee ma jority on rates in the bill, urging that they form independent judgment"
 Senator Lenroot, who has been lead ing Republican opposition to many rates in the cotton section, had just lost the fight to cut the committee duty on knit cotton underwear from 50 per cent ad valorem to 40 per cent ad valorem. The vote was 29 to 26.

SUBSIDY BILL
 ATTACKED ON
 SENATE FLOOR
Declares Bill Gives Great Powers to Board Which Is
 Already in Disrepute

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The ad- ministration ship subsidy bill was, at tackled in the senate today by Senator Fletcher, Democrat, Florida, former chairman and now ranking minority member of the senate commerce com mlttee who said the bill had pro visions for subventions, in direct sub sidies and dierct subsidies upon scale never before contemplated. The Florida Senator added that in his opinion, it would at this time be mistake and most unfortunate for the country to enact them into laws"
 Sale of shipping board vessels on longtime payments and government insurance for American ship operators was recommended by Senator Fletcher
 Analyzing the pending bill, Senator Fletcher said it proposed to loan money to ship purchasers at rates low CT than the government could itself obtain. He also thought that the Standar Oil, the United States Steel corporation the United Fruit and other great corporations, maintaining fleets of vessels, would under the bill, es- cape all taxes on their shipping prop erty.
 Tt the chairman of the shipping board" Senator Fletcher added, "in- stead of furnishing arguments to con- gressmen and spending money on publicity campaign to persuade voters of the country to favor this bill, would spend his time and devote his ener- gies to persuade American shipown- CTS that they ought to patronize our own ship yards and American mer- chants: that they ought to give their business to American ships, and the American bankers that they ought to encourage. American shipping, that would be much more helpful in estab- fishing an American merchant marine and much less costly to the American people,"
 Attacking the provisions of the bill for government aid. Senator Fletcher said it would give the ordinary ten thousand ton vessel a subsidy of S16,- 300 annually, and the Leviathan, $1,- 100000.
 The bill, Senator Fletcher continued also could give the shipping board ''the power of life or death over any ship ping company or vessel owner, the privelege of rewarding favorites to an unlimited extent, and of running those not liked; of building ports and des- uoying them, as the board might de- termine." This great power, the sen- ator added, would be conferred upon "an organization already in disrepute and already notoriously partisan, all ready in politics at government ex- pense, already such a failure that it brazeniy boasts of it.'
 "The vision of a merchant marine coming out of this bill is a deceptive mirage" said the Florida senator. "It means wreckage. The end will be what the shipping board would ap- parently enjoy as they sit in their of fices and draw their salaries. relieved of the burden of these ships. beholding the American merchant marine on their walls-'painted ships on a paint cd ocean,

with seven Republicans-Bor Ida ho; Capper, Kansas; Jones, Washing ton; Kellogg, Minnesota; Lenroot Wisconsin; Sterling, South Dakota and Willis, Ohio-voting for the lower rate.
 fter his charge about tho threats Senator Lenroot offered a second amendment to make the rate 45 per cent and that was approved, 2S to 27 with eleven Republicans supporting it
 The four Republican votes gained on this roll call were cast by Senators Ladd. North Dakota Nelson, Minneso. ta; Norbeck, South Dakota, and Raw son, Iowa.
 This was the only case in which the committee was overturned today, but on all items except handkerchiefs and mufflers, substantial reductions in the original rates were proposed by the committee majority.

MARTINEZ AND SILVAS CAUGHT BY POSSE
Disaster Narrowly Averted as Steam
 Pipe EXplOdes

PORT ANGELES, Wash, July IS. Exploding steam pipes on the battleship New York scalded one man, rendered 12 others uncon- scious and nearly caused a collision between the flagship and the des- troyer McDermutt, as the fleet was returning to this port from maneuv- CTS tonight.
 The explosion took place in the boiler-room underneath the New YOrk's steering engine. With her rudder helpless, the big battleship swerved toward the starboard, where the destroyers were steam ing in column. Only the quick wit of Ensign Alfred w. Burkett, off cer of the deck aboard the McDer- nut prevented a serious accident. Burket turned his ship hard to port and the battleship missed it by only a few yards.
 Seaman E. B. Bulack, who was working in the store-room next to the boiler-room was seriously burn. ed about the face. neck and head.
