PARLEYS ON CHINA
BEGUN BY KELLOGG
Secretary and Other Department
Officials Discuss Developments
With MacMurray.

While Secretary Kellogg and State
Department officials have commenced
conferences which are expected to
last several days with Minister Mac.
Murray, called home from Peking to
discuss developments of the last few
months in China, Admiral Williams,
commander of the Asiatic fleet, re-
ported to the Navy Department an
other instance of firing on American
vessels.
The admiral advised that the mine
sweeper Pigeon had been heavily fired
upon by machine guns at Sishan
Shang. II miles above Nanking, and
had replied with machine guns and
"a rounds from the main battery,
silencing the Chinese fire. The Pigeon
was hit many times, but there were
no casualties, he added.
MacMurray was under orders to re-
turn here for conferences and had
started for the United States when
the impending Nationalist attack on
Shanghai caused a change in his in
structions and sent him back to
Peking. Not until within the last
month could he be spared from his
post for the conference.

fore November IS.

Construction of the new Internal

site now occupied by the farmers
produce market will have to be va
Gated by that time, the District Com
missioners were advised today by
representatives of the supervising
architects Office Of the Treasury De-
partment.
The information caused a stir at the
District Building and resulted in a
special conference of the Board of
Commissioners to consider what steps
could be taken to provide temporary
accommodations for the farmers who
will be forced out of the portion of the
site to be vacated. No definite ac-
ton was taken. but the Commissioners
took under advisement a suggestion
that these farmers be located at the
curb on B street opposite Center
Market.
The Federal agents apparently be-
lieved that all arrangements had been
completed for rehousing the farmers
who use the produce market and told
the Commissioners that the purpose
of their visit was to ascertain where
the sheds that are to be dismantled
should be moved. The Commissioners
replied that this question was still
puzzling them, but that a definite
answer would be given the Treasury
Department some time next week.
As soon as Commissioner Proctor l..
Dougherty returns fro mhis vacation
in Massachusetts his colleagues plan
to give serious attention to the prob
lem Of relocating the farmers market.
Mr.. Dougherty is scheduled to return

Another intimation that the street

sion today during a public hearing on
an APPLICATION of the Capital Traction
Co. for authority to establish a new
25-cent de luxe motor coach line, op-
Grating from Cleveland Park to the
heart of the business area.
William +. Ham, president of the
Washington Railway & Electric Co.,
who appeared before the commission
to oppose the creation of the new line,
took advantage of the opportunity to
point out that the public is desirous
of improved service, regardless of cost.
but that the rate of fare now is
too low to enable the Starving COM
panies' to give better service.
Three different routes for the pro.
posed bus line were considered. The
terminals, however, would be the same
should the application he approved.
The one in Cleveland Park would be
at Thirty-fourth and Ordway streets.
The downtown terminal would be at
Tenth and e streets.
A number of residents of Cleveland
Park supported the company's appli-
cation and a group from Chevy Chase
testified to the popularity of the pres
ent de luxe service to that section.
Roy L. Neuhauser and Ernest s.
Johnstone, however, protested the op-
Grafton Of the busses over kalorama
road, which is on one of the alternative
routes. Those who spoke in favor of
the new line included J. Francis
Moore, president of the Chevy Chase
Citizens Association; Fred S. Lincoln,
Conrad H. Syme, Leo r. Sack, Edwin
S. Hege and G. H. Powell.
Mr.. Hams chief objection to the
establishment of the new line was
that it would "gravely compete" with
the Washington Railway & Electric
Co.'S bus line in Cleveland Park. He
declared that the line has suffered a
loss of S3S 900 since it's establishment.

ECONOMIC FAILURE
Hoover Serves Notice on
Mortgage Holders Not to
ForeCIoSe on Farms.
BY REX COLLIER,
staff Correspondent of The Star.

VICKSBURG, Miss, September T.
The worlds richest cotton land, in
Washington County, down in the Mis-
sissippi Delta, has emerged from its
worst flood to find staring it in the
face the danger of complete economic
collapse.
Washington County and its once
thriving city, Greenville, is crushed in
spirit and in body. Last year the cot
ton crop netted the county $10,000,0OO.
This year it will be lucky to come out
with a half million dollar harvest. That
means a crop loss from the flood OF
50, 500, 900.
Worst of all, every planter and ten
ant farmer in the county is over his
head in debt Mortgage companies
are threatening to foreclose. These
companies hold mortgages totallng
$50, 900 900 to 100000 on farm lana
in the delta.
Hoover Takes Hold.
Into such a desolate picture has
come Secretary Hoover, humanitarian
and economist. to tackle the problem
from two directions. sympathetic 10

cognizant of the situation confronting
the mortgage firms, insurance COM
panies and banks, the Commerce Sec
retary has taken decisive steps de-
signed to solve the problem.
That it is problem of the gravest
sort is shown by the fact that Mr..
Hoover intimated that unless the fore
closures are deferred until the emer.
gency is over, the Red Cross may find
it useless to continue its aid and will
recommend that the ruined planta-
tions be abandoned
There is no justification for the
expenditure here of further public
donations if our work Is not going to
get us anywhere" Hoover declared
emphatically to a group Of mortgage
and financial interests in Greenville.

Archduke Withdraws Challenge to Fig hit
Duel With Hungarian Envoy to y. S.

The challenge was hurled by the
archduke after an exchange of tele-
grams with the diplomat, which Leo
pold interpreted as the equivalent to
tossing gloves in the face of each
other. The archduke's ire was fired
when, after he had asked the Hun.
garian representative to handle loans
which Leopold proposed TO raise, the
request was rejected as "tactless. :"
This, the archduke replied by tele-
gram, was an adjective which no one
could apply with impunity to a men,
Der of his royal family.
Leopold then entered the films with
the avowed intention of earning pas
sage money TO Europe in order to fight
the duel
