Four new Ambassadors and their
families are on the point of arriving
in the American Capital, which means
not only several distinguished person
alities to be met and welcomed, but
no end of social functions to prove the
sincerity of the welcome extended
There is nothing that Washington

AMERICAN BLAMES
SHANGHAI POLICE
Justice Johnson Holds Their
Laxity as Contributing
to Disorders.
By the Associated Press.


PEKING, China, December 23.-The
conclusions of Justice Elias r. John
son, resulting from the inquiry into
the shooting affair at Shanghai on
May 80 last, were made public in
summarized form today by the dean
Of the diplomatic corps.
Justice Johnson. member OF the
bench Of the Philippine Islands, was
the American member and presiding
officer Of the international commits
sion charged with investigating the
disorders in Shanghai which began
with a strike demonstration and Gull
minated in the killing of number Of
Chinese.
Justice Johnson arraigns the police
authorities for failure to appreciate
the gravity of the situation or to take
timely precautions. He charges the
foreigners in Shanghai with failure
to take into account the principles Of
liberty and independence which they
themselves have spread in China and
recommends various reforms OF the
Shanghai administration.
Other Members Disagree.
The British and Japanese members
OF the investigating commission, on
the other hand, find no laxity In the
police precautions and consider that
no other course was available than the
one pursued.
Justice johnson finds that Police
Inspector +. w. Everson of Shanghai.
owing to his numerous duties, failed
to realize the temper of the crowd,
and at the moment of firing acted in
accordance with mobilization instruc-
tons. realizing the consequences Of
his failure to do so.
Police Commissioner X. G.. McEuen,
in spite of full information as to the
conditions obtaining during the pre-
ceding months as well as the i'm
mediate menace of an anti-Japanese
demonstration. left the city for
hours. Justice Johnson declares, and
even on his return failed to inform
himself az to the conditions. The
American commissioner finds no basis
for justification Of this absence which
can be harmoniZed with the police
commissioners responsibility, whereas
his presence might have saved the
lives of innocent persons.
