LEAVE CHINA ALONE,

Prof. Harold S. Quigley Urges Ma
lions to "Quit Picking Winners"
and Thereby Hasten Peace.

BY the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, August S.
FOREIGNERS would hasten compro-
mise among tn Factions in China by
leaving them all alone, Prof. Harold S.
Quigley Of the University Of Mime
sofa and a member Of the Chinese So
cial and Political Science Association,
told the Institute Of Politics this
morning.
Its time for foreign states to cease
picking a winner" Prof. Quigley as.
serted. Every winner picked so far,
from Yuan Shi-K'ai to WI Pei.fu, has
failed. No leader can succeed perma-
nently without loyal Chinese support
ers, and these he cannot hold If it
is discovered that he is in foreign
pay"
Sun Yat-Sen resented bitterly the
foreign Intervention that prevented
his efforts to constitutionalize China,
Prof Quigley said. Nationalist sources
are charging at least two powers with
making or permitting loans to Chang
Tso.Lin, their Northern opponent,
thus prolonging the struggle between
factions.

WEALTHY HEIR DIES
FROM INDIGESTION
Man Who Inherited SearleS'
Millions SuccumbS
to Attack.

LAWRENCE Mass. August up.
Arthur I. Walker of Brooklyn, y.
y. who inherited the greater part OF
the estate Of the late Edward f.
Searles. Methuen multimillioaire. died
suddenly last night at the SearieS
mansion at Windham, \. II. He was
stricken with an attack Of indigestion
and death came two hours later.
Walker had been the confidential
adviser of Searles, who died at his
Methuen estate on August 3, 1F-o.
Immediately after the filing OF the
will OF the eccentric millionaire. leaF-
ing most Of his estate to Walker ana
comparatively small amounts 70 rela-
lives, contest was started.
Will Fight Settled.
His nephew, Victor Searles. sought
10 break the will on the ground that
Searles was of unsound mind when
he signed the document and was SUB
lected TO undue influence. The con-
test finally was settled out OF court
and it was understood that Victor
Searles was given in the neighborhood
of million dollars.
Last February suit for SIS 000, goo
was filed against the Searles estate
by Angelo NJ Ellison, who had been
employed by Searles as a youth III
Methuen. Ellison claimed that Searles
had promised TO provide literally for
him in his will. A jury decided against
him.
Estate Came From Wife.
In March last the courts were asked
10 determine whether the University of
California should receive a contingent
beuuest of $250.o00. The court ruled
that Victor Searles had forfeited a be-
Quest of this amount by contesting
the will and that it should go to the
university.
Most of the Searles' wealth came
from his wife, who was the widow
of Mark Hopkins. Western railroad
magnate. After her death, Searles
lived most of the time virtually as a
recluse on his great estate in Methuen.
