MADISON CONFESSES
 ACCEPTING $500
Police Making Search for Gunman Partner of Prisoner Now
 Held

San Francisco, Feb. 27.-The police investigation which was started when Ralph P, King, former policeman m Hawaii, told detectives he had been asked by Richard (Dlck) Hotaling 10 murder the lat ter's sister-in-law. Mrs. Fred Hota- ling. centered today in search for Al Reels, reputed gunman.
 Reels. according to King, was one of the two men who had accepted $S,300 provided by Hotaing to make possible 'the removal" of Mrs. Fred Hotallng. The other suspect, Lou Madison. was arrested here yester- day.
 Madison has confessed he and Reels had accepted the SS,300 from King but that they had no lnten- ton of harming Mrs, Hotaling,
 Hotaling. wealthy clubman and amateur actor of wide reputation, today reiterated his conviction that an investigatin will disprove all of the tales and accusations made by King and Reels.
 According to the confessions credited to King and Madison by the police, King. out of sense of gratitude to Hotaling, had agreed to find two men who would murder Mrs. Hotaling, because she once had caused Hotaling to be assaulted by an unidentified and apparently hired thug during one of the bitter legal battles which have ragged over the Hotaling estate of approximately $4,000,00o.

FRENCH CHAMBER ACTS .
Accepts Article in Finance Bill Re quiring Incorporated Stock Cos to Constitute Reserve From Funds.

By The Associated Press
 Paris, Feb. 27.-The chamber of deputies today adopted by show of hands the article of the finance bill requiring incorporated stock compan ies to constitute their legal reserve out of French state funds. The ar ticle was voted after considerable discussion during which finance min- ister Clementel explained that the state was not demanding the imme- diate transformation of existing re- serve funds but allowed ten years for the change.
 The government accepted an amendment offered by former min ister Louis Loucheur that govern ment rentes should be entered in re- serve funds at the price of their purchase. An opposition member pointed out that the government three per cents. bought when the price was 103, would still be entered at that figure although they are now quoted at 4S.
 Finance Minister Clementel said the principle Of the article had been adopted twenty years ago when the State Savings bank had been ordered to keep their funds in state securi- ties.

CHINESE PROTEST
 AGAINST JAP PACT
Agreement With Russia Objected
 to in Part
By The Associated Press.

Picking, Feb. 27. - China made public today her protest against section of the agreement concluded yesterday between Japan and Russia wherein the soviet government rec ognizes the Portsmouth treaty.
 The Chinese foreign office protest was continued in note sent Febru- ary Il to L. M. Karakhan, soviet ambassador to China, and K. Yoshi- zawa, Jananese minister at Picking. in which China protested against d clause in the Russian-Japanese agreement providing that.
 ''The union of soviet soclauAt re- publics agrees that the treaty of Portsmouth of September 15. 1905, shall remain in full force.'
 China's protest is based on an ar ticle in the Chinese-Russian agree ment of May S1, 1924, wherein the soviet government agreed to abro- gate all treaties. preiudicial to Chin csc rights. existing between the czar- ish government and any third coun- try.
 Continuing the foreign office pro test says China will not recognize such an act of violation of her treaty with Russia such as the Russian Japanese agreement constitutes.
 Action of the foreign office in cir culating the text of notes previously sent to representatives of China and Japan, was evidently prompted by the Russian ambassa dor's publica- tion this morning of his reply to the Chinese note of February Il.
 In long involved communication, Ambassador Karakhan denied that the recognition of the Portsmouth treaty affects China's rights or con- stitutes a deviation from the soviet principles of equality and justice. He points out that China's protest would be timely If that country had ob iected to the Portsmouth treaty 20 years ago. Karakhan cites China's own recognition of the Portsmouth treaty by agreements in 1915, where by the life of the treaty was greatly extended. Ambassador Karakhan added that protest from China now does not serve any useful purposes and is entirely unwarranted.
 The Chinese protest was made public today simultaneously with the publication by the Japanese legation here of the text of the Russian Jap anese agreement.

APPEAL FOR MORRIS CHAIR

An appeal for a Morris chair has been sent out by the New Britain Welfare association, as the gift of such an article would greatly re- lieve the sufferings of one of the unfortunate persons under the care of that organization. This person is a man past middle age. He suffered a shock more than two years ago and has had several others since then. At present he is able to sit up, but an ordinary chair would be too hard and uncomfortable for his worn-out body, so that he is still forced to remain in bed. A Morris chair would relieve this situation, and if there is anyone who has such an article to spare the welfare asso- citation will call for it.

NO INTENT ID
 RESTRAIN SPEECH
Count KarOlyi Expected to Steer
 Clear Of Politics

Washington, Feb. 27.-Two com munications emanating from the state department today disclaimed any intention of unduly infringing upon the free speech rights of Count Karolyi. former Hungarian presi- dent, now in New York, but indi cated the department expected him to keep his pledge not to engage in political activity while here,
 Secretary Hughes informed Chair man Borah of the senate foreign relations committee that no question of freedom of speech, in a proper sense, was deemed to be involved in the understanding with Karolyi. The count was permitted to enter to visit his wife. who is i'll.
 At the same time the department made public a letter addressed by William R. Castle, Jr.. chief of the division of western European af- fairs. 10 Morris l.. Ernst. Karolyis New York lawyer. asserting that Karolyi's friends had exaggerated the whole situation.
 Mir. Castle wrote that the depart ment took the attitude that Kar- olyi's attendance at dinner in New York March ', at which he cX- poets to speak. would not be in violation of his pledge. "I think" " Mir. Castle wrote, that if you will look closely at the promise you will realize that this matter did not need 10 be brought to the depart mcnt.
 Count Karolyi came to this country not 10 seek asylum, as cer- tain papers have enormously stated. but to be with his wife who was i'll. When he was given his visa he agreed not 10 engage in political activities. The press and some of Count Karolyi's friends have appar- ently elaborated this into q promise that he will say nothing whatever. I For example. as I pointed out 10 you during our conversation, there seems to be no reason at all why Count KaroIyi or his friends should not answer the specific allegations made against him that he had misappro- 1 priated certain funds collected by him in the United States before the war. This could hardly be called engaging in political activities and certainly would not be so considered

Celebration to Be Held in Vega
 Hall March 2l

Valkyria lodge. Order of Vasa, will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Its organization on Saturday evc- ming, March 2l, with banquet which will be held at Vega hall on Arch street.
 The lodge, whose membership is composed entirely of women, was organized February s, 1900. in the same hall where the celebration will be held and where the meetings have been held since 1t was started. With a membership of 434. 1t ranks third among the 80 lodges of the state.
 The first officers were as follows: President, Mrs. Pauline Oquist; vice. president, Mrs Elfrida Sell gren; secretary, Mrs. Marie Berg endahl; financial secretary, Mrs. John Bergquist: treasurer, Mrs. John A. Andrews; master of cere- monies, Mrs. Alma Anderson; chap
 lain, Mrs. Hilma Holmquist: inside guard. Mrs. Josephine Johnson; outside guard, Mrs. Wilhelmina Stenberg. Mrs. Bergquist, the first financial secretary, now resides in Stamford and Mrs. Sellgren, the first vice. president, now resides in Can ada. The rest of the original off, cers are still living in this city and are active and ardent workers in the organization which they have seen grow so rapidly in the 25 years of it's life. Mrs. Marie Bergendahl, the first secretary. held that office for l71a years, at the end of which time she was presented with gift as a token of appreciation of her faithful services to the organization. /, Valkyria lodge has been very &C., ltive in the support of charitable or ganizations and has contributed lib- orally to drives which have been held in this city.
 Order of Vasa Formed Here The Order of Nasa, national Swedish organization of individual Isick benefit and charitable societies, was formed in New Britain, Febru- ary IS, 1896, at Gidding's Hall. the meeting being called by Nels Pear son of Harrison street, who is called | the father" of the movement.
 Mir. Pearson, realizing the advan- itages which would be derived from such an organization, called a meet ling of the representatives of the va rious individual societies here in New Britain at which time the advisabil- Iity of it's formation was discussed. Those present, endorsed the move ment and a second meeting was call | ed. This gathering, for the purpose of setting up a permanent organiza- ton, met in New Haven on Septem- Der IS of the same year.
 At the New Haven meeting MT. Pearson was elected district grand master, consequently holding the dis function of having been the first man 10 occupy this office. He was also the first president of Tegner lodge, one of the local member societies of ithe order.
 Mir. Pearson, at the time he made lthe primary movement in the organi- zation of the Order of Easa, little realized that it would grow to reach
 the present size. in his time at least, as the membership is now 6o,000,
 spreading from coast to coast. in Icluding this country and Canada.
 Mr. Pearson. although about to
 celebrate his 75th birthday is still
 active in the affairs of Tcgner 1 lodge.
