RED AMBASSADOR
 DENIES COMPL|CITY
States That BOlsheVikS Had No
 Part in China Trouble
CHANGE FOR AMERICA
M. Karakhan States That Industrial Conditions Alone Were Rcsponsi- bie For Rebellion of Shanghai Workers.

Picking. June 4. (AP)-M. Kara khan, Russian soviet ambassador to China, today denied that his country was responsible in any degree for hostilities of Chinese students at Shanghai. The soviet ambassador said, in his opinion America might well take this opportunity to prove professed friendship by standing aside, saying to the other implicated powers:
 "This is your business, not ours. 7"
 "Why should America assume any responsibility for the Shanghai out rages," continued M. Karakhan.
 Every effort will be made to sad- die America with a share of the blame, the ambassador said, and the American legation joining with other powers replying to the Chinese pro- test will be tacit acknowledgment of responsibility.
 Americas Opportunity
 This Is Americas opportunity to take a stand which will further pro- mote friendly feeling on the part of the Chinese, particularly the educa- tional element, the friendship of which America has hitherto enjoyed, M. karakhan added.
 The ambassadors analysis of the situation was that industrial cordi- tions alone were responsible for the rebellion of Shanghai workers, pointing out there was ample evi- dence in the records of foreign ad- ministrations in China.
 Exploitation Exists
 Exploitation to an intolerable ex- tent including that of women and children was enough to precipitate the climax at Shanghai without prompting from any outside source, the ambassador said, It was the us- ual practice. he added, to attribute any revolt of labor against oppres- sion to soviet influence but If one recalls the history of similar affairs in other countries notably India, where soviet influence is scarcely mo- ticeable 1t will be seen how illogical are the scapegoats before the soviet came into existence"
 Allegations that the soviet consul general at Shanghai actively pro- noted the strike of factory workers were said by Karakhan to be ''abso- |lutely unfounded," as was story saying that soviet funds were dis tributed 10 finance the student anti foreign demonstrations.
 AS dean of the Picking diplomatic corps, the soviet ambassador sent a message of condolence to the Chine csc foreign office on the deaths and injuries to Chinese students at Shanghai.

TEMPERATURE OF IlO
 NEW JUNE MARK HERE
Mercury on Rampage as Heat Wave Hammers
 City

With the thermometer reading all the way from 92 to 96 in sheltered shady places where there was faint breeze, to 110 in the sun at Z o'clock this afternoon, New Britain sweltered and sweated and took to whatever means its residents could think of to keep cool.
 A survey of the city showed that while New Britainites sought reli ,t from the tremendous heat in soda dispensaries and ice cream parlors, those who were at work in the fac tories did not seem to be bothered as much as those on the streets, Even the iron foundries continued to operate on their daily schedule, al- though number of men were miss- ing from many of the factories.
 In open doorways in shady places where there was a strong draft, the temperature probably was the low est. 1t being as low as 92. The av- craze temperature In the sha 1e ranged from 97 to 9S.
 At the fire station on Commercial street where the suns rays beat un. sparingly upon the thermometer il rose to 110 at o'clock at whicf point 1t remained for the greater part of the afternoon.
 Few people actually suffered, al- though small child of Mrs. Doloras Slscar of 13 Broad street was treated by local physician last night for heat exhaustion.
 The schools functioned normally. it was reported and men employed by the board of public works were still on the job at 3 o'clock.
 At the Y. M C. A. it was reported that yesterday 220 men and boys used the swimming tank and shower baths, while fully 200 boys used the showers at the Boys club.

He went about his duties at headquar- ters, caring for the prisoners who were in the cells, and ushering then, upstairs for the police court session,
 Occupying theseat near the pris- oners' pen that he has filled for about 15i years in his capacity as court officer, Franks ready smile greeted the other court officials as they arrived, and after the session, he. escorted the prisoners back 10 the cell room, where he locked them up again and went about getting their breakfasts. e~

 These duties cared for. he went about getting ready to so on his beat, which included Church street and the railroad station, where he was familiar sight to all incoming and outgoing travellers for many years. Feeling the effects of the heat, the patrolman decided that shower, bath would cool him off and better enable him to care for his beat, so he went to the shower room and took a bath. After finishing the bath, he was seated on a chair in the room half clad when the fatal attack came upon him.
 Probation Officer Edward C, Con- molly happened into the room few minutes before 10 o'clock and dis covered the policeman sitting on the chair and apparently in a daze. He ran out and called PatroIman James McCabe for assistance and then called Dr. John l.. Kelly.

 Medical Examiner John E, PurHey was called and after an examination of the body, pronounced death due to chronic heart trouble that had been aggravated by the heat.

 From the dead patrolman's family, 1t was learned that the n n .ness and dogged devotion to duty which have always marked his service with the department was a contributiEe factor to his sudden death. His wife said that last night the patroimar had complained about pains sboui his heart, and had the same com plint thIs morning when he awokc but he refused to listen to her en- treaties to remain off duty and rest saying that his duty was with tho police department.

New York, June 4. (AP)-Only one living specimen of the Okapi, a rare animal inhabiting the Belgian Congo jungles, has ever lived to reach Europe, said Dr. w. T. Horna- day, director of the Bronx zoo.
 This Okapi was exhibited in the Antwerp zoo in 1921, but survived only six weeks of confinement. Dr. Hornaday said. No white man has ever been able to shoot one, and those that have been trapped were caught in pits / ith the help of na- tives.
 The Okapi is a nondescript animal comprising a family group by itself. The nearest relative is a giraffe. It is found in the dense jungles of the Semliki forest in the extreme east ern portion of the Belgian Congo. The adult Okapi resists capture until death, Dr. Hornaday said.

 A laconic cablegram from Heller at Lumu to Stanley Field, president of the museum, today announced that the rare prize, strange and beautiful creature with body somewhat like a zebra and a horned head resembling that of giraffe, had been obtained with the "asssit- ance of Pygmies," a midget race of the jungle.
 The expedition's feat in getting the okapi is regarded by Heller's fellow zoologists at the museum as remarkable in more ways than one, said a statement issued by the museum, which continued:
 "The okapi is sly ruminant, hasly In speed as well as color, and is hard to capture. Only one other American expedition has ever ob- tained it. There are only a few mounted specimens in existence in the world"
