AMERICA URGED
TOINTERVENE
IN CHINA
Lack Of Accord Said to Weaken
Diplomatic Body in
Peking.
BY III. X. REYNOLDS,
international News SAxvicA.

New and alarming attacks @on
American citizens in China have re-
suited in urgent appeals for the
United States to bring pressure to
bear upon the totterinE Picking gov.
eminent with a view to assuring
adequate protection to American in
terests, it was learned here today.
For some months past, the diplo-
matte body in Picking, Of which DR..
Jacob Gould Schurman, the Ameri-
can minister, is a member, has been
left free to deal with the Chinese
government on behalf Of the for
eign powers, but 1t now develops
that lack Of accord among the diplo-
mats has led the Picking authorities
to give little heed to their represen.
tations.
Direct Intervention Urged.
It is for this reason that direct
intervention, either political or eco
nomic, is being urged upon the
Coolidge Administration, but it was
said at the State Department today
that it was unlikely that the
United States would step into the
Chinese situation single handed, be-
cause officials believed that more
could be accomplished through CO.
operation with other interested
powers.
According to advices reaching
Washington from the American
Chamber of Commerce in ShanR-
hal, China now has more than
million men under arms.
Anarchy Feared.
"These soldiers" said a state.
ment prepared by the chamber, "in-
stead Of being used for the defense
of the country, are used by the
semi-independent military governors
in their petty quarrels. These mer-
cenary armies are eating up the
resources of the country and have
gradually brought about a con ID
ton approaching anarchy"
This condition was blamed by
the chamber for the attacks upon
American and other foreigners.
I'VE all view with grave con-
Germ the present absence of re-
sponsible government in China, :"
the chamber declared. 1T is well
known by all, foreigners and
Chinese alike, that state of
anarchy exists, from the north to
the south and as far as the inner
most part of the Szecheun prov
ince Of the west"

and got elected governor by 100000.
In 1915 he scattered 80 much
gloom through the ranks of his fol-
lowers that they rushed to his res
cue and elected him senator by
100000.
Beat Herbert Hoover.
In 1920 he became so dismal
when he thought OF Herbert Hoover
that his friends got up early in
the morning to save him from de-
struction and elected him over
Herbert Hoover by 100000 in a
Presidential primary within the
Republican party.
In 1922 he radiated so much
misery and defeatiSm that he had
some Of the most experienced poll
tical observers in the United States
talking nationally about the col
lapse of his popularity and about
the sinking and setting of the star
of his career; and his majority was
$50, 900.
He now has a detection which
ought to be worth a majority Of at
least SOC. 900.
He sends out bear reports abou:
his prospects, and then reads those
reports in the newspapers, and
gets more detected than ever.
When reproached bv this writer
for having almost led him astray
by such reports in times past, he
said today:
''I suppose can't help It.. When
I was trying law-cases, found
I always got on better IL thought
I was in for "a beating. suppose
I am determined never to under
estimate my adversaries. My adver
saries this time, 1 assure you. arc
extremely strong"
Back In October.
They are so strong, it appears
that it is necessary to go all the
way to California to have q knock
acknowledgment fight with them
and decide just who is top-dog In
California.
''He is going to start a new
progressivism which will come east
ward from the Pacific slope to dis
pute the Northwest with the radi
pute the East with the conservat
ism Of Coolidge"
That is the Interpretation placed
on his journey by some observers
He himself says:
1T is not a matter of candidates.
It is a matter simply of finding out
whether California In 1924 is or is
not going to be a genuine complete
progressive influence. I shall be
back here by October"

President Coolidge today was con-
fronted with two opposing views
on the question Of opening the

American political prisoners.
He had under consideration
recommendations from Senator
George Wharton Pepper. Of Penn

twenty-five prisoners convicted In
the famous Sacramento case.1 to-

american Legion against freeing
any Of the prisoners except upon

MINER INSTANTLY KILLED
IN WILD RIDE DOWN PLANE

POTTSV1LLE, Pa, Aug. 27.-John
Tekaris, a miner, ended a thrilling
ride at the Buck Run colliery by be-
ing thrown off a car going a mile a
minute. The man landed with such
force that his neck was broken by
the contact with the earth. Tekaris
was riding down a steep plane, in a
car guided by himself. He made the
mistake of putting his brake in the
wrong notch, with the result that his
car attained such speed it could no
longer be controlled and when it
reached the "knuckle" of the plane
and made the turn, Tekaris was cata-
pulled into the air.
Tekaris was a married man and
leaves a wife and three children.

ENEMIES
/, California Senator, Always
Pessimistic Before Victory,
Sees Hard Battle Ahead
By WILLIAM HARD.

Today the fuse leading to the
first big fireworks of the 1924
campaign begins to burn.
Today Hiram johnson of Cali
fornia, the weeping victor of five
successive bloody political battles
in California, departs from WASH
ing toward California with his
handkerchief to his eyes.
He is undertaking a saddening
task. Il cannot be done, he says;
but he is going to do it, he says.
He is going to purge the Re-
publican party of California. He
is going to see to it that the
California delegation to the Re-
publican National convention of
1924 is totally and exclusively
one hundred per cent washed and

In 1920 his friends in California
got out delegate ticket that con-
tanned goats as well as sheep. This
time there must be no goats. John
son Is going to California to herd
them out.
Can he herd them out in Cali
fornia without getting into a fight
with them all over the United
States? Can he start q drive on
all ''reactionaries" and all "Hoov-
critics" In California without get
ting all of them hurting themselves
against him and his followers in
the Republican National Convention
next year?
Can he resume an uncompromis-
ing "progressivism" in California
without arousing an uncompromis-
ing conservatism" against him
everywhere else?

California.
Stands BY Letter.
He stands by his letter to his
friend McClatchy Of Sacramento in
which he said that he could no
longer carry California against
Hoover or against anybody.
His desolation is such that it is
that he is not planning
any ordinary political massacre. It
is not believed that he intends
merely now to defeat his enemies.
On such occasions he is simply de-
pressed and respondent.
He now is doleful and despairing.
The deduction is that his intentions
toward his enemies have broAdened
and that this time he means to
them.
In 1910 he was. moderately pessi-
mistic and got elected governor by

Sydney, June 30th.- After d lull of a
few hours, raiding and rioting broke
out afresh last night at the British
Empire Steel Corporation plant here
and although the police are doing their
best to hold the crowds in check. it
is now evident that quiet can be re-
stored only by the arrival of the troops
now enroute from Halifax. The fact
that soldiers are coming is of course
known to the rioters, and they seemed
determined to make the most of the few
hours left to them, because the troops
were not expected to reach the city be-
fore $50 a. m. and may be considerably
later. The strikers or that portion OF
them represented in the mob, have got
