SCHURMAN IS
GERMAN ENVOY
Former Peking Minis
ter's Promotion Leaves
Important Vacancy
~ The Associated Prcssl

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. March 18.-.
Transfer Of Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman
from his post as minister to Peking to
succeed Alanson B. Houghton as am
bassador to Germany, for which assign
ment he was promptly confirmed by the
senate yesterday. leaves the Peking post
and that of Ambassador to Argentina as
the two major diplomatic vacancies yet
to be filled
Mr.. Schurman's selection by President
Coolidge for the Berlin post however,
completes the realignment Of major di-
plomatic assignments in Europe result
ing from the appointment of ambassador
Kellogg as secretary of state.
The transfer of DR. Schurman to Ber-
lin. which is in line with the admins
tration's recent policy of advancing its
diplomatic representatives abroad leaves
vacant a post regarded as Of outstand-
ing Importance owing to political and
economic conditions in China and the
far east generally. An intimate knowl-
edge of affairs there is understood to
be sought in the appointee for the
Peking post, and it would cause no sur.
prise here if the administration should
turn to John Van A. MacMurray, as
ststant secretary of state, recognized
expert in far eastern questions.
In filling the ambassadorship to Ar
gentina, recently made vacant by the
resignation of John w. Riddle, it is as
sumed that the same policy of promo
tion will be followed, and indications
point to the appointment of Peter Aug
uStus Jay, now minister to Rumania, to
that post.

istered.
Judge Hopkins ordered the two men,
who now are prisoners of the states
attorney, who took Shepherd into Gus
tody Sunday night, to be brought be-
fore him at p. M for arraignment on
the Indictment.
Faiman's confession, in which he de-
clared he had conspred with Shepherd
to introduce typhoid germs into the
young millionaire when be had made a
will leaving his 81 100000 to Shepherd,
was considered by prosecutors, to have
been strengthened last night by Robert
White, former student at Faiman's
school who identified Shepherd as the
man who attended the school in the
fall Of 1923.
Shepherd, said White seemed much
interested in bacteriology and labora
tory equipment. HIS story coincided
with the time Faiman said he attended
the school
The accused man who has not broken
down under days Of questioning made
the same denial Of Whites story that
he has made Of Famans and John p.
Marchand, fc,mcr attache of the school
who said Shepherd had written regard
ing courses.

White
Further corroboration of Faiman's
state ment thrt 100000 had been fixed
by Shepherd and himself as his portion
of the McClintock fortune if their plans
were successful was added, prosecutors
thought, in letter showing that Faiman
planned $150,000 worth Of improve
ments for his school Immediately after
the rich orphans death.
Attorneys for Isabelle Pope, McClin-
tocks fiancee who waited to marry him
when he died and Who was left an $4,000
annuity in his will, said they would con-
tend that Miss Pope is entitled to the
same share of the estate as if she had
actually married him. under a con-
struction of the law by which she
might be regarded as his equitable
widow. They were ready to ask for a
continuance when the petition of Shep-
herd to probate the will came up in
probate court today.
Ten cousins of McClintock who have
attacked the will on the grounds that
Shepherd used undue influence, have
announced through their attorneys that
if their contention is upheld Miss Pope
will receive the annuity the will pro-
vided.
