NEW YORK, November 16.-Prep-

Conditions in the United States,
Mr.. Jordan said. "are favorable for

MIR. Jordan discussed the problem
of discerning in advance the requit e.

LEGATION OFFICIAL
MISSING IN CHINA
Ex-U. S. Disbursing officer,
With Few Months, to Live,
Short S31 900 in Account.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PEKING, November 16.-American
officials throughout the Orient are
searching for Harry krenz. former
disbursing officer at the American le'
CATION in Peking, who is charged with
embezzlement of $31, 900 gold in Gov.
ernment funds.
KrenZ left Peking late last month
ostensibly for a few days hunting
trip Inquiries after he. had oyer
stayed his leave are stated TO have
uncovered the defalcations.
Left Early i'm Month.
Krenz was seen in Shanghai early
in November, where he was living un-
der an assumed name and spending
money freely. 1t is thought he may
now be aboard a British steamer be-
tween Hongkong and Singapore. due
about November IT, American Off
Gals at Singapore have been instruct
ed to arrest him if he lands there,
while officials at Toxic and Manila
also are watching for him.
Only recently krenz discovered that
he was in an advanced stage of tuber-
culosis and that there was little hope
for his recovery. He resigned from
his post in order to- make an early re.
turn to the United States. He leaves
wife and three small children vir'
tually destitute in Peking.
Remittances Are Intercepted.
Friends expressed the belief that
KrenZ defaulted during an aberra =
ton caused by the prospect of an
early death. His first known defal-
cation took place early in October,
after physicians had said that he
probably had only few months to
live
lie remitted a portion of the money
to his wife from Shanghai and Mrs.
Krenz voluntarily returned the funds
to the legation. KrenZ then tried
other eXpedients to send money to
his wife or her relatives. but the re-
mittances were intercepted.
Krenz is about 35 years old. He
was a former enlisted man in the
Marine Guard at Peking. became a
trusted legation code clerk and then
was promoted to the post of disburs-
ing officer at which he worked for
three years.
The defalcations were by means
of drafts on the United States Treas
ury, with which he customarily paid
the legation staff.

ERROR IS FOUND
IN GUARD TESTS
Edgar ChaCe Gets West
Point Appointment When
Correction Is Made.

As the result of the discovery of
a mistake by the United States Civil
Service Commission in the grading of
the examination papers of District
National Guardsmen competing for
IN appointment to West Point, Edgar
Northrop Chace. private in the 29th
Division, headquarters detachment,
residing at 6 West Virgilia street,
Chevy Chase. was certified today for
appointment, replacing Benjamin C.
Stephans. 1926 Third street. who was
certified last week. Young Stephans
is a private in the Headquarters and
Service Company of the 121st Engi-
neers.
Young Chace himself discovered the
mistake made in his papers by the
Civil Service Commission. which con.
Quoted the examination for the local
National Guard in accordance with
the annual custom. Because Of the
circumstances. officials of the National
Guard and of the Civil Service Com
mission are making efforts to have the
War Department take both men into
the academy if they pass the entrance
examination.
Error i'm Addition.
In the original average mark cer-
tilted to the National Guard by the
commission, Stephens was given a rat
ing of 3.37 per cent and Chace, 90.S3.
However, Chace was of the opinion
that he was entitled to a higher mark
and appealed to Lieut.. Col. Peyton G..
Neyitt at National Guard headquarters
for permission to examine his papers.
The mistake was discovered and a
recheck showed that Chace's average
mark should have been 97.5. Guard
officers took it UP with the Civil
Service Commission and the War De-
partment. with the resulting change
in the certification.
1t was explained at National Guard
headquarters that the commission had
not made an error in the actual grad
ing of the questions, but a mistake
had occurred in adding up the marks
on the individual questions To arrive
at the average. 1t appears that the
employe who averaged the papers
picked up two sheets at the same time.
thus missing the marks on one sheet
entirely.
George r. Wales, a member of the
Civil Service Commission, said that it
was just a plain, ordinary, garden
variety of error; the commission re-
GREETED it and was glad to make the
correction. 1t is such thing that
the commission tried always to avoid
but mistakes do creep in"
Chace Becomes Principal.

course, goes from second alternate to

The local National Guard has one
appointment to West Point allotted to
Ii each year, and for the selection
of this candidate the Civil Service
Commission conducts an eXaminat ton.
In the past it has been possible for
the Guard to get more than one APP
pointment because of the fact that
some of the States do not take advan-
tage of their allotment. and in order
to fill up the classes these are given
to other Guard organizations who
have candidates. 1t is probable that

FARM AID PLANS
STILL UNSETTLED
President Is Working on
Study of Question-McNary
Seeks agreement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With the convening of Congress
only three weeks away. the admins
tration is bending efforts to meet the
four-year-old farm relief problem. but
as yet there are no indications that
President Coolidge is committed to any
particular plan.
Two facts have emerged from a con-
f1ict of generalities; namely, that the
President is unalterably opposed to an
equalization fee of the type embodied
in the vetoed McNary Haugen bill and
that the administration is prepared to
resist any attempt to revise the tariff
structure by those who contend that
this would bring relief to the farmer.
s~e- Study Not Completed.
From views expressed at the White
House it has been learned that Mr..
Coolidge has not completed the study
of the farm question which he under
took early this Fall. The President is
keeping in touch with leaders of Con-
gress who are trying to work out a
bill, and his attention recently has
been attracted to the report of busi-
ness mems commission, headed by
Charles Nagel. former Assistant Secre-
tary of the Commerce Department.
While this report suggests the adj
visibility of downward revision of the
tariff as a factor in helping the farmer
"a policy which Mr.. Coolidge opposes
the President does believe that the
facts which the commission developed
are worthy of careful study in that
they may throw new light on the
problem.
Leaving no doubt of the Presidents s
opposition to changing tariff sched
ules, it, has been disclosed at the
White House that Mr. Coolidge re-
CARDS the free trade barrier one of
the farmers principal bulwarks. With
out it, he believes, business and labor
could not prosper and the country's
ability to purchase the farmers prod
ucts would be correspondingly dimin-
ished.
McNary Seeks Agreement.
While the President Is attempting
to ach conclusion as to the best
course to be pursued on behalf of ag
rlculture, Senator McNary or oregon
and other leaders of Congress are try
ing to bring to an agreement those
still insisting upon the McNary Hau
gen bill and those opposed to its
equalization fee plan. That his task
may be difficult has been indicated by
Representative Dickinson of Iowa. one
of the House farm leaders, who has
predicted that farm bin with an
equalization fee either will be passed
and approved this Winter or it will
be an issue in the next election.
Whether agricultural organiza tions
themselves will be able to agree is yet
TO he determined. Their first efforts
to conciliate have proved unsuccess.
full. meeting of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, the National
Grange and the Farmers Union hav.
ing adjourned with no decision as to
how to meet the Presidents opposition
to the equalization fee.
An agreement among farm organi-
cations, however, is not held by Mr..
Coolidge to be necessary to the success
of a farm relief bill. and it has been
made known that in his opinion an
agreement between Congress and the
