BY the Associated Press.
NEW" YORK, February i5.-Prof.
Robert McEiroy Of Princeton University,
who, as POSTMASTER At the annual din
ner of the China Society last night,
omitted reading part of a telegram from
secretary of States Hughes, criticizing
China. today explained his reasons.
He said he thought it wise not to
1ntrude upon a social affair the stern
language Of the Secretary's telegram.
which expressed regret that the pleasant
relations between the two countries
are at the present moment disturbed
ny the killing Of an American citizen
and the filing upon an American consul
oy ChlnGse soldiers and by the failure
OF the Chinese government to make any
adequate response to the representa-
e'ons which this government has found
1T necessary to make with a view to the
se!llement of this very grave incident"
;, Pror. McEiroy said after the dinner
Ae expected the Chinese government
would act in the matter complained Of
as to do the right thing is a national
characteristic of the Chinese people.
Consul General Chang. who was a
guest. seemed much perturbed when he
was shown the parts of the telegram
not read.
IF any wrong has been committed
upon Americans China will make full
reparation," he said.
American Is Killed.
The grave incident referred TO in
Iae telegram was understood to be the
killing OF Charles Coltman, an Amer
lean merchant. at kalgan, just be-
yond the Chinese wall. by Chinese
soldiers on December IL last. He was
IN an automobile with Samuel Soko-
bin, the American consul at kalgan,
and friend carrying sum Of silver
70 Crga to buy furs, when stopped by
Chinese sentries, who fired when the
party attempted to proceed.
Minister Schurman made represen-
tation to the Peking government de-
mandfng reparationS. but at least a
temporary deadlock between the two
gove ernmentS has ensued, partly due,
it has been claimed, in Peking. to the
inability of. the central government
to compel the local authorities in
volved in the matter to take any ae-
tion. 2: -
Noted Guests Present.
Among: the several hundred per-
sons at the banquet table were:
u. l. Chang, consul general of the
republic of China; Bainridge Colby,
secretary of state under President
Henry w. Taft. brother of Chief
Justice Taft, and Wei-Len. professor
of history at Peking University.
Consul General Chang was a
speaker. When he concluded he went

The delay in the receipt of q diplo-

to the fact that China has had three
new administrations since December,
and Is only now beginning to sur
mount the many physical difficulties
that normally appear in the path of
political change"

1t Is concerned"

he said. He expressed a, belief that
there was some provocation" for the
action Of the Chinese soldiers, assart-
ing he was Of the opinion the Amer
cans were attempting TO smuggle
silver to Manchurfa, in direct viola
tion OF existing laws.
His Interpretation of the facts al
ready disclosed was that the Amer
cans, when the soldiers stopped and
questioned them, drew pistols and
tried to force through to the border.
