COURT TO LIFT BAN
ON COSTIGAN MAY II
Appellate Tribunal Says Disbarred
Lawyer Intended No Fraud on
Clients in Investment.

Ignatius j. Costigan may resume
the practice of law before the Su-
preme Court of the District of Co.
iumbia May II by paying the costs
of his appeal to the District Court of
Appeals from his disbarment by the
lower court November II, 1925. The
appellate tribunal, I'm an opinion by
Chief Justice Martin, while upholding
the decision of the lower court that
tsostigan was guilty Of unprofessional
conduct, declared that a suspension
from practice for IS months was
sufficient punishment The order of
disbarment was reversed and the
period of suspension allowed to run
from the date Of the disbarment.
The charge against Costigan grew
out of the purchase of property for
q client in 1922. There was delay in
the settlement of the sale and an
agreement that Costigan should bor-
row the money in the interval. He
invested in Mexican bonds, being then
counsel for the Mexican government.
The money was lost, but was later
made good to the client.
''We are convinced" SAYS Chief Jus
,ice Martin, that he did not enter into
this transaction with intent to cheat
or defraud his clients nor did he al
any time entertain such purpose. His
clients for what they believed to be
their benefit loaned their money to
him at interest upon the understand
ing that the loan would be promptly
repaid when required. The money
thereby became the property of Costi
gan and he accordingly assumed the
relation Of debtor to his clients. Nor
ally and professionally he was bound
in good conscience to invest the none,
with the utmost prudence"
When the money was lost. the law
yer should have notified his clients
the court points out, and his conduct
in deceiving them was reprehensible
but there was no deliberate intention
of fraudulentiy profiting at their ex
pense.

NEW CANTON ALLY THREATENS
CHANG ARMY ALONG YANGTSE

the central executive committee OF
the Kuomintang, which was sched-
uled to be held at Nanchang March
/, has not yet been held. Gen. Chang
Quarreled with Hsu Chen, who is the
chief political tool in China of Boro-

Cantonese.
Hsu Chen started a propaganda
campaign against Chang, who Is ac-
than Chang Tso-Lin, the northern
China war lord.
Called an AutOcrat.
Chang is called an autocrat and is
charged with building his own ma
chine at the expense of the party.
Among other things, Chans's enemies
say he has amassed a fortune, which
they say accounts for his opposing
Communism. AS a result OF Commu'
mist Vaccinations, Chang Kai-Shek Is
gradually finding himself isolated from
other Kuomintang leaders and sur.

In the meantime, living quietly in
the foreign settlements and else
where, are many able Chinese who
formerly stood high in the Kuom1n-
tang, but who have been forced out
of the party by the increasing rad
icalism. These persons doubtless are
waiting for Chang to show plainly
which way he will go.
Affects Soviet Influence.
The gist of all this is that Soviet
influence finds difficulty In maintain
ing it's dominant position In the Chi
nese revolution.
At the same time reports continue
to reach Shanghai of attempts to es-
tablish an organization among some
young northern generals for a new
grouping around Chang for opposing
Communism and Soviet influence, as
well as the power of Chang Tso-Lin.

CANTON SPLIT CONFIRMED.
Left Wing Would Halt Growing
Power of Chang.

LONDON, March R.--Reuter's
Hankow correspondent declares in
dispatch today, that there is no Ques-
tion that a definite split is developing
between the left wing of the Canton
ese {Kuomintang) and the Cantonese
military leaders.
Hsu Chen George Chen Hsu), the
Cantonese minister of justice, headed
a movement to restrict the growing
mander-in-chief of the Cantonese
army. Chang's opponents regard this
growth of power as conflicting with
the Kuomintang ideal of party rule as
opposed to individual dictation.
Crisis Believed Near.
The left wingers are taking advan.
tage of Chang Kai-Shek's preoccupa-
ton with the military campaign in the
Shanghai area to regain their posi-
ton, from which he ousted them in
Canton last week.
1t is believed, the correspondent
says, that crisis is near, in which
Chang will take drastic action against
the Extremists. In this case, the
Moderates, including Foreign Minister
Eugene Chen, would be torn between
loyalty to the Kuomintang ideals and
loyalty to Gen. Chang.
More Evidence of Split.
Further evidence of a split in the
ranks of the Kuomintang, the dis
patch adds. was afforded by a speech
delivered by Gen. Chang at mass
meeting at Nanchang, where he was
quoted as saying:
Communism has only one method
of economic development. 1t may be
adapted to the conditions of some
countries, but 1t would be fatal as far
as China is concerned. Communism
would mean the downfall of China,
and revolution"
The correspondent says it is note
worthy that Chang's attitude toward
foreigners has been most friendly. He
assured those at Nanchang of abso-
Lutte protection and issued proclama-
ton urging the Chinese to preserve
foreign friendship, which would give
them all safety.
