was found dead in his automobile
today on the Bay Shore highway be-
tween here and South San Francisco
apparently n victim of battle be-
tween rum summers and hijackers.
The man S clothing had been
rifled, as though in search of a bill

Says Young Chie1
Chinese Attitude is Outli ned by Head Of Confer
ence in Interview; Urg es Recognition of AS
PiratiOns by United States
BY RANDALL GOULD

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
PEKIN, Oct. 22-Time has ar
rived for the United States to pur-
sue her own policy in China even to
the extent of signing new and
separate treaty with China, Chin
csc statesmen believe. Should the
United State adopt this course and
recognize Chinese aspirations,
neither her trade nor political pres
tige will suffer in any way.
This view of the Chinese atti-
ference was given to the United
Press in an exclusive interview by
DIR. {. T. Wang, head Of the Chin
csc customs conference delegation.
DIR. Wang, n Yale graduate, is the
leader of the young political ele-
ment in China. has been acting pre-
mier and has served rs foreign min
lister.
Customs autonomy must decide
the fate Of the conference, said DR..
Wang. "The Chinese delegation is
agreed upon this. The foreign dele
cations have agreed to the Chin
ese proposal that customs auton-
omy shall be the first subject on
the agenda.
Demands Autonomy
''China demands immediate au-
tonomy. There will be no acqui-
escencc to proposals for autonomy
I'm the distant future nor will there
be any bargaining.
Since the United States was the
first TO express willingness to see
the Chinese manage their own af-
fairs, DIR. Wang believes the CON
cert of powers should be broken
and that the United States should
not permit the European powers to
dominate the conference.
"United States trade in China
will in no wise suffer- he said,
and tie lasting friendship of all
China will be won if the American
delegation stands firm on the Amer
lean policy
Divergencies between American
and other viewpoints are now so
apparent to the Chinese that TO
them a new Chino American treaty
recognizing Chinese rights seems
opportune and advisable.

By B. c. FORBES

When Frank X. Coates. just elect

Railway Association, was made presi-
dent Of Toledo's street railway cor
poration many years ago, he started
out by riding on the cars to sec how
the public was being treated. On one
car burly conductor shouted the
street names in way that nobody
could understand him. The new pres
ident quietly asked the conductor why
he didn't sing out the names clearly.
What business is it Of yours" the
conductor demanded.
Il am the new president OF the
company"
What the - do you expect for
$50 month. grand opera:' was the
unabashed reply of the conductor.
Since those days street railway pres
idcnts have been able not only TO raise
conductors wages but 10 induce most
of them TO become distinctly more
courteous TO passengers. An unmanner-
" street car conductor is the cxcep-
ton rather than the rule today.
After the wild churning Of the waves
on the ocean of speculation. there has
been relative calm. But Wall street
rarely keeps still for long. Neither
the bulls nor the bears acknowledge
defeat. Among outsiders there is wide
spread uncertainty as to whether the
price tide will rise or fall. 1t is a
good time for small fish to keep near
shore.
Once again the federal trade COM
mission has been ovcrrulcd by the
courts. This regulatory body gets the

In the latest case the commission
