Fighting and LOOting Going
On in HankOw; Foreign
ers Unsafe.
PANIC STRICKEN
Thousands of Disorganized
Forces TerrOrize POpula-
tion.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 12 R The
Yangtse. valley is again ablaze with
civil war, with the important inland
commercial center of Hankow once
more the scene of disorders.
The flight today of the military
distator at Hankow, General Tang
Seng- Chi, before the steady advance
of the Nanking nationalists who have
been opposing him. has left almost
leaderless his unpaid troops, free to
loot the city and striking terror in
the hearts of the whole population,
including the foreigners.
Reports from the former capital
of the nationalist regime state that
Japanese marines have landed, that
the oreign concessions have been bar
and that the Chinese in
habitants of the city are moving on
the foreign sections for protection
Fighting and looting is going on
in the city, say the advices, while the
authorities for the Wunan cities of
Hankow, Wuchang and Hanyang, is
being handed over to Tang's success
sor, General Ho CHEN, who is seek
ing to take co%mand of the situation.
Meanwhile the Nanking national
lists, seeking to consolidate their posi-
ton in the Yangtse valley again, are
rushing on Hankow and the head of
their column is within Is miles of
the city, according to reports received
here in foreign commercial circles.
The vernacular newspapers are in
formed that thousands of the de-
feated and disorganized Hankow
forces have arrived at Wuhan and
the population of Wuhan and Han
koW is described as panic stricken
A body of 10000 Hankow troops has
crossed the Yangtse to Wuchang and
is proceeding southwark and the area
which the retreat is being
made now fears wholesale disorder.
The foreign naval commanders are
known to be keeping in extremely
close touch with the situation, the
wireless being constantly in use be-
tween the flagships at Shanghai and
the patrol boats at Hankow and other
ports on the Yangtse. A checkup of
the patrol on the river of the various

and that this had hampered the
progress of the industry seriously,
but thta the foreign demand had
taken up the slack and provided

Regarding the formation of the

provide an exchange of statistics
which would result in the prOduc-

No unified action regarding raising
or lowering production figures, or the
operation of properties could legally
be undertaken and naturally no such
action would be, he said. Douglas ex.

conditions have improved during
the past few months and the out
look for the immediate future is
better than for some years, ac-
cOrding to Walter Douglas, presi-
dent of the Phelps Dodge corpora
ton, who is on a tour of inspec-
ton of western properties. This
improvement is largely the result
of increased foreign demand, and
more rigid curtaiIment of pro-
ductiOn to meet the demand and
rcduce surplus stocks, according
to Douglas, who stated that the
supply of refined copper now on
hand was smaller than for several
years.
The Phelps Dodge president told
of the extension of activities by

Operative Assists Govern
ment in Weaving Net
Around Burns.
SWORE FALSELY
Tells Grand Jury Perjured
Affidavit Required By
Higher Ups.

WASHINGTON. Nov. IL l,.-Tes-
tinony that the Burns Detective
agency fabricated reports for use
should the defense in the Fall-Sin-
clair oil conspiracy case decide that
a m1Strial was necessary, was pre-
sented today to the grand jury in
vestigating the surveillance of the
trial jurors.
1t was furnished by one of Burns
own operatives, who since October "A
had been assisting the government in
weaving a net about William j.
Burns; his son, w. Sherman Burns,
and the more than dozen detectives
sent here at the beheSt of Henry
Mason Day, one of Harry F. Sinclair's
confidential associates.
This operative is william j. McNIul-
lin, of Philadelphia, a World war vet
eran and known to Burns and his
men as William v. Long with the code
designation of L-35. He Swore that
those directing the jury shadowing
operations required him to swear to
a false affidavit on which William j.
Burns based his charge OF jury tam
pering by government agents and
which was presented to the oil trial
judge, Justice Frederick l.. SiddonS,
by counsel for Burns.
McMullin declared that at the time
the affidavit was presented, the elder
Burns, founder of the detective
agency, knew that it was false. This
affidavit had to do with the alleged
activities of Harris r. Lamb, a spe-
cial assistant to the. attorney gen
eral, whom McNullin declares was
never shadowed for even moment.
Some of the high lights in McNIul-
Inns whole story we're made public
by District Attorney Gordon after
former Governor Pinchot, Of Penn
sylvania, had appeared before the
grand jury to tell that McMullin had
come to him on October
"a, seven days after the Teapot dome
trial started, and explained what the
Burns men were undertaking to do.
Pinchot reported Immediately to
Owen j. Roberts, of special govern
ment oil counsel, and plans then we're
laid to trap the private operatives.
Under orders of the government,
McMullin continued to serve with the
Burns agency, and the story of how
he and the government prosecutors
outwitted the Burns men, including
William j. Burns himself, reads like
a moving picture scenario.
AS Gordon told the story in the
presence Of Pinchot and McMullin,
the Philadelphia man, who formerly
was an insurance adjuster, was en-
ployed by the Burns agency on Octo-
Der 13 and sent here on October 18
after the trial jury had been sworn
in.
''AIcMullin became so disgusted
within few days that he went to
Governor Pinchot," Gordon said. "He

M. F. Ortin, N. Kharitonenkoff, R.

special representatives of the govern

yesterday and are registered at the
Gadsden hotel, where they are carry
ing on conferences with prominent
mining and smelling officials of the
district in the interest of securing
information about the most modern
and up to date mining and smelling
machinery and methods, which in
formation they will take back to
Russia.
Mr.. Ortin, in an interview with
a Dispatch reporter late yesterday,
said that he and his companions had
been sent to the United States by
tile comnluINt government to con-
duct thorough study of mining and
smelling methods in use here so that
they may return to their own country
and put the methods learned here
into use there.

mad spent a short time in California
and were now here to consult with
officials of the Phelps Dodge cor
poration He said that the eXpedi-
ton, made up OF four eminent Rus
sian engineers, including himself, will
conduct very careful inquiry into
the processes OF mining and smelling
ores as there are vast ore deposits
in Russia that are not worked be-
cause of poor methods.
The Russian party depend solely
on Ortin to interpret .for them and
the other three members OF the Or
ganization are not deriving much
enjoyment from their visit to America
as tlCy can understand nothing that
they hear spoken about them and
very little that they see as Ortin
explained that thiSgs here are very
much different from their home land.
The party will confer with high
mining and smelling officials here,
visit the smelters and during the week
will go to Nacozari and Pilares,
Sonora, for further research. They
will not sail for Russia until about
the first of the year. Ortin said,
having made arrangements to leave
New York at about that time.

Senator Contends Highest
Duty Of Party Is to Rec
ognize Fact.
ASKS SHOWDOWN
Supreme Political Problem
Is Obedience to Law, Says
SOlon.

NEW YORK, Nov. IL Ex-senator
Borah, of Idaho, called tonight for a
showdown in the next presidential
campaign on the prohibition question
and law enforcement.
Explaining that he would not as
sumo to advise the democrats, he
aimed his demand chiefly at the re-
publicans, who, he asserted, should
take a stand for rigid enforcement of
the eighteenth amendment
s'It is my contention, the Idaho re-
publican declared before the New
York Womens' Law Enforcement COM
mittee, that the supreme political
problem in the United States today
is obedience to laW-the integrity of
the constitutional government.
II contend that the highest duty
resting upon political party at this
time is to recognize that fact, meet
it openly and courageously call its
voters and supporters to the contest
and fight it through to the end In
the clear sunlight of this issue, more
political expediency is both discred-
liable and futile.
1--WE know from the decisions of the
supreme court that we are passing
through period in which corruption
has reached to the very doors of the
White House, dominated cabinets and
robbed the people of their inheritance
"We know that our daily press day
by day records a series of crimes,
both in number and in horror, which
have no precedent or parallel.
eve know, if we but stop to re-
fleet, that this spirit of lawlessness
has come to be the most stupendous
problem of our national life.
eve know, too, that this spirit Of
lawlessness has now taken the form
of an utter disregard and defiance
of our charter of government itself. .
Contending that there are only two
courses open, enforcement or repeal
the senator added:
''The only safe courSe-and certain
ly it is the only honorable course is
to meet the issue and throw the
tremendous power of the party behind
the law and the constitution.
Enforcement OF the law, Mr.. Borah
asserted requires the election of a
president and officials who believe in
the prohibition law and who will be
as vigilant and active to enforce it as

Agriculture Forms
Crucial Question
Say Business Men

NEW YORK, Nov. IL R)-The
American agricultural situation is of
fundamental national concern, the
business mems commission on agri-
culture reported today, after a years
study of the farmers problems, and
it made these remedial recommends
tons:
Gradual tariff adjustments to
equalize more nearly the benefits of
the protective tariff system as be-
tween agriculture and the manu-
featuring industry
Creation of a federal farm board
to assist in Istabilizing farm produc-
ton and prices.
Administration through an endowed
and independent national agricultural
foundation of comprehensive land
utilization policy.
Revision of state and local tax
systems.
Strengthening of the rural banking
system.
Revision Ct railroad rates on farm
products.
Development of waterway systems
The recommendations were con-.
tanned in a report made public today
by Charles Nagel, chairman of the
commission, which for a year has
been investigating agriculture from
a business point of view The COM
mission, created by the national in
dustrial conference board and the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, but reaching it's findings In
dependently of either, according to
Mr.. Nagel, has heard the testimony
OF hundreds of farmers and others
connected with the industry through.
out the country
The report said it was evident that
American farmers, in post war re-
adjustment, have suffered more seri-
ously than those engaged in other
fields. That many have been forced
from the industry and that land
resources have been impaired by
neglect and wasteful exploitation
There is evidence also, y.le report
continued, that real as well as money
costs in agriculture are rising; that
farmers are failing to obtain a, re-
turn equivalent to that obtainza IN
the city of workers of no greater
ability; that the comparative ad-
vantage of other industries is rapidly
increasing; that the yearly fluctua-
tions of farm commodity prices are
growing more severe; that tenancy
is Increasing and that the quality
OF the farm population is dteriorating.
Various factors were held respon-
sible, some connected with the grad
ual hcange from an agricultural to
an industrial nation; other problems
of readjustment. Among the major
causes were listed post war deflation
OF vVues, delay in adjusting farm
prices to the new levels, and increased
taxes, interest rates and transporta-
ton costs. Restricted immigration
was said to have increased foreign
competition by keeping European
farm work at home, depriving amer.
lean agriculture OF immigrant farm
ers qualified to farm successfully and
by admitting low standards of farm
labor.
The commission expressed belief
the farmers economic position could
be improved if ne could obtain higher

LengIen' $ Tour Will
Not Be Extended To
Include All Europe

NEW YORK, Feb. Is (P).-Failing to
meet the financial terms of Suzanne
Lenglen, Charles c. Pyle today an
nounced abandonment of his plans to
take the French star and other mem
bers of his professional tennis troupe
on tour of Europe.
According to William c. Pickens,
Pyle's representative, Suzannes re-
quirements approximated the terms
upon which she came to this country
last fall as professional. For the
tour which closed last night in Provi-
dence, r. l., the French queen of the
courts" received a guarantee of $50,OOO
and SO per cent of the gate receipts.
According to Pickens, she reaped a
total of 100000 from the venture, in
cluding royalties from the use of her
name for commercial purposes. Leng-
len expects to close negotiations with
European promoters, however, Paul
Feret, her countryman, and Howard O..
Kinsey, of California, probably will
accompany her when she sails for home
Saturday.
The other members of the troupe will
not join in the overseas trip, Pickens
said, Vincent Richards, Harvey Snod-
grass and Miss Mary K. Browne hav-
ing already abandoned the plan to go
abroad. Snodgrass and Miss Browne
both left New York yesterday, the for
mer to go to his home in the far west
,and Miss Browne to go into business
in Cleveland.
Pyle would have carried out his plans
for the European invasion had he been
able to sign Suzanne to new con-
tract, Pickens said Richards, Snodgrass
and Miss Browne having tentatively
agreed to his terms.
