STARK SAYS CHINA
FORCED ARMS SALE
Russian Admiral Declares
Navy Took Over Supplies
After Threat to Cut Fuel.
By the Associated Press.


MANILA, July 13.-Admiral George
Stark. commander of the Russian
refugee fleet whose name has been
| linked with alleged sales of ammuni-
tion in China. has admitted that he
had turned over to the Chinese navy
small arms valued at 100000 Mexican
dollars. The Chinese navy was repre-
Sented in the transaction by the COM
mander of the HSu, gunboat, and
Lawrence II. Kearney, an American.
who presented credentials to show
that he represented a Chinese admiral,
according to Admiral Stark.
A warrant for the arrest of Kearney
for his alleged activities in selling
! arms in China was issued in Shanghai
last Monday.
Admiral Stark said he was forced
to turn over the arms under threats
that his ships, whose coal supplie&
were nearly exhaustd. otherwise
would not be permitted to take on
fuel. He said the sale took place just
before the Russian fleet sailed from
Shanghai last January. and added
| that he was told he could not depart
with the arms on board his vessels
| because he might sell them to Sun
Yat-sen. south China military leader.
The Russian leader declared that he
had not received ] cent In payment
for the arms and three unseaworthy
boats. but that he held an official
| Chinese receipt for 400. 1000 Mexican
dollars worth of arms and the boats.
He added that he had guarantees that
the arms and boats would be returned
to the first recognized Russian gov
ernment Since leaving Shanghai, he
said. he had received no communica-
tion from either the Chinese navy or
kearney.
Mrs. c. V. Stein, who was arrested
in Shanghai yesterday in connection
.,-l,.
was the wife of Maj. Lockwood, L.
S. A. from whom she was divorced.
Later she married Stein, who then
was employed by an airplane manu-
featuring company, but, who later
was a United States Army officer.
