the Commanders words, this was an
act of courtesy to man who had
devoted his life for better under

Tonight it was the gracious flying

CHINA WARNS

AngIo-Japanese Alliance Is
Opposed AS Combine
Against China
Another Tangle
Serious Situation Develops
Affecting NOn-NegOtiat-
ing Powers

GENEVA Switzerland, July 4.-tP-
Fourth Of July Chinese fireworks ex-
ploded at the Tripartite naval con-
ference today when Nationalist China
issued a solemn warning that the
delegates must not discuss questions af-
fecting the interests of the Chinese
people.
This warning was communicated to
the press by Chu Chao-Hsin, Chinese
member of the council of the League
of Nations from his Lakeside villa.
1t is believed to be China's answer
to the reports in British newspapers
that Great Britain and Japan are
considering the wisdom of renewing
the Anglo-Japane alliance, which
died at the washington conference
when the four power pacific pact was
substituted for it,
Chinese circles see in such renewal
an Anglo Japanese combine against
China
1T has been repeatedly reported in
the press in the far east" said Chu in
in formal statement, '.that the naval
conference now sitting at Geneva
may also consider questions relating
to China. am therefore requested
by the Chinese nationalist government
to declare that the government and
people of the republic of China will
refuse to recognize any decisions af-
fecting China which may be arrived
at by the present orr any other con-
ference in which China is not repres-
ented and is not participating in a
position of equality in the delibera-
tions's
Chu Chao-Hsin was appointed to
represent China in the League coun-
Gil by the Peking government and
his formal declaration today as
spokesman of the Nationalist govern
ment is regarded as throwing light
on the increased power which Chinese
diplomats give to the Nationalists.
The talk of renewing the Anglo
Japanese alliance seems to have been
received coldly in japanese circles in
Geneva, where apparently it is
thought such an alliance would be
Objectionable from two points first,
because it would create an impression

letters "Cal" outlined in silver studs
on each leg. The chaps also bore

RAPID CITY, S. D., July 4 QP)-
President Coolidge was given COM
plete cowboy outfit today on his 55th
birthday, and he brought delight
to his guests and boy scouts, who
presented the outfit by appearing on
the front lawn Of the state game

The hills surrounding the lodge
resounded with cheers as the pres1-
dent returned from the house III the
middle of his birthday party wear
ing a bright red shirt, blue kerchlet,
chaps, boots, spurs and "ten gallon"

Mrs. Coolidge appeared surprised
but Walter Flachfenhar, leader OF
the cowboy band OF Terry, Mont,
who presented the chaps and who
helped the president from New Eng
land into his cowboy outfit, let loose
q "yip'' as he walked down the steps
with Mr. Coolidge. The guests LOOK
up the yell as the president made
mis- way slowly to protect the new
spurs he had donned.
Smilingly enjoying the party, the
president turned himself into the
hands Of his guests, cheering cowboys
from Terry and happy troop OF
boy scouts from Custer, S. d. They
asked for pictures in every pose and

frisky bay mare given him by the
scouts.
Photographers had a field day, as
they caught the president in his

cause of the accident.
81 did my best, and that's all
that 1 can say" Grace said brOk-
enly.
Future plans for trans Pacific
flight have not been formulated.
Materials were ordered to refund
the plane, but it was said that
Grace and Roger might return to
Honolulu Wednesday.
The cause of the rudder trouble
was noe determined. Experts
thought that it might have been
due to strain brought upon the
machine as 1T reared down the
uneven runway with load of more
than 1900 pounds.
Today'S crash was the twenty
fifth for Grace since he began fly
ing at the age of 16. EEe is now
20. To provide thrills for picture
audiences, Grace wrecked sixteen
planes. His Other airplane wrecks
were accidental, most of them in
the performance of his work as a
stunt flier. His only serious acci-
dent was nearly fatal. 1t cracked
a vertebrae in his neck and earn
ed for him the sObriquet OF the

The flight which failed was to
have been either to San Francisco
2,4OO miles, or to Los Angeles, about
lis miles longer, dependent upon
gasoline supply. Grace came to the
Islands June "a, and had made
several attempts to take off before
