Note Accuses Japan
SHANGHAI, May 5.-The Chinese

q note to Premier Tanakw, of
Japan, accusing the japanese of
responsibility for the hostilities at
Tsinaufu, capital of Shantung prov
ince.
The note alleges that Japanese
murdered the nationalist commits.
sioner at Tsinanfu and 10 of his
assistants, raided the nationalist
foreign affairs bureau at Tsinan
and set it on fire.
The. communication protests
against the dispatch Of Japanese
troops to Tsinanfu.
It is reliably reported that an.
other violent outbreak of fighting
between Chinese and japanese de-
veloped at Tsinanfu at 8 o'clock
last night Chinese timel.
City Badly Damaged
During heavy cannonading a
large section of the commercial lis,
trict was destroyed. Hundreds of
houses were set on fire and de-
Etroyed.
The japanese casualties were put
ut 300. including soldiers and civil.
1ans.
NATIONALIST headquarters claim
that 1,1o0 Chinese have been killed
in the Tsinan area and 900
wounded. Including soldiers, govern.
xnent officials and civilians.
Gen Feng Yu Hsiang. formerly
known as the Christian General. -
whose army is now fignting with
the nationalists under Gen. Chang
Kai shek. has arrived at Tsinan,
leading observers to believe that
even more serious trouble impends
there.
Anxious For Americans
Local officials of the Standard
Oil Company of New York are
anxious over the fate of the Ameri-
cans employed by the company al

McAdoo Agrees
William q. McAdoO saw and pre-
sumably approved WalshB state

issued. So did several others who

Smiths prohibition views and his
Tammany affiliations are anathema-
One OF them made the private
prediction today that III al Smith
runs on the platform which VIII
be adopted at Houston, he win
break hts back trying to explain to
the country the differences between
the platform expressions and his
own personal views"
1T is the determined purpose
of this wing of the party to force into
the Houston platform a militant
prohibition plank-not force law
enforcement plank. but a plank
which specifically commits the party
to the inherent morality and right.
SOuSneSS OF pFOu1DlLlOn.s
The platform is adopted before
the candidate IS named Should
this faction succeed in putting into
the platform such declaration,
it would put a nice question UP
to the New York governor, for he
has repeatedly and publicly pre-
claimed his disbelief in the principle
of prohibition, although always az
serting that so long as the law In
on the statute books it should be
enforced.
Some OF the Smith people, in
fact, already suspect that there
is some deep.Iaid and subtle
strategy behind the McAdoo wing
of the party hauling down its
flag. as exemplified by Walsh's
statement Of withdrawal. a.-
Even his opponents admit that
the New York governor is a. blunt
and courageous man. 1t is entirely
within the range of possibility, they
believe that Governor Smith would
decline to stand on a platform which
specifically committed him to id
vocating the inherent righteousness
of prohibition, because it would
obviously be so greatly at variance
with his well-known views.
Hence, unable to stop the Nav
York governor through the dale
gate route, it might be possible
to do it through the platform
provided, Of course, that the dry
element in the convention is strong
enough to write the platform OF
party principles.
Such, at least, is the talk Of
Washington today.

blanche to investigate the affairs
of the District government,
privilege it already had as regards
the Federal Government. Investi-
cations OF the District government,
up to this time, have been at the
request of the Gibson subcommit-
tee and certain members of the
House and Senate. Their authority
has at all times been questioned.
At the bureau today, IL was said
that the inquiry to start Monday
is not under the authority given
i'm the new legislation, but In
direct and executive order from
President Coolidge.
The numerous unofficial and
official inquiries which have been
made into the fiscal affairs of the
District will not have a place in
the bureaus inquiry, it in said,
since they were devoted primarily
to a study of the fiscal relation
ship existing and recommended be.
tween the District of Columbia and
the Federal governments.
Other Inquiries Proposed
The Federal Government has for
AOdE years COHLFIDuCeQ lump sum
OF $4,000, 600 toward the expenses
of running the District government.
Local bodies have sought to estab-
lish fixed fiscal relationship and
have failed.
In other years there was a $3.50
relationship and more recently
60-40 relationship. The Federal
Government paid 40 per cent of the
expenses of the District govern
meht.
These features of the fiscal af.
fairs of the District will not figure
in the new inquiry, but may be
mentioned as incidents.
Numerous proposals are now pend-
ing for an inquiry of this kind but
none of them lead toward the Bu-
reau of Efficiency. Most of them
would create a commission to take a
survey and report their findings,
with recommendations to Congress
next fall. Some call for a perna-
nent commission on fiscal relations,
while others would have the COM
mission cease after its report was
filed.
Because Of the magnitude of the
inquiry, it was intimated today that
the bureau may establish a branch
office in the District building during
the progress of the survey.

Senator Capper made it plain that

Capper said there was a disposition to
settle the merger question promptly
