KLEIN SEES GAIN
IN CHINESE TRADE
Declares New Treaty Is For
ward Step on Part of
u. S. in Orient.

By the Associated Press.
The consummation of the new COM
mercial treaty with China will have a
far-reaching effect upon the United
states future relations with the COM
mercial world of the Far East in the
opinion of DR.. Julius Klein, director of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce Of the Commerce Depart
ment.
In a speech prepared for delivery over
the radio last night DR., Klein discussed
the main aspects of the new treaty, de-
claring that I'VE can take just pride in
that fact that the American Govern
ment, backed by the feeling of friend
ship of the American people for the
Chinese people, has taken the initiative
In this matter, and by this new treaty
has agreed to abolish old provisions
which have outlived their usefulness
and have been only a detriment rather
than a safeguard to the commercial
intercourse between the two peoples"
The new treaty, which accords to the
Chinese complete tariff autonomy after
January !, 1929, so far as American
trade is concerned. does not impair
American trade interests in any degree,
DR.. Klein said.
American trade In China has in
creased in recent years in spite Of civil
wars, DR.. Klein said. and he predicted
that under the new treaty 1t would
show an even more marked increase.
The Commerce Department official
said that new ideas and new methods
were penetrating into the commercial
life of China. and that changing con-
ditions must be met with new treaties
and new commercial agreements.

HOSPITAL FUGITIVE
STILL UNCAPTURED
Doctors Believe He Will Be
Likely to Seek SeCIuSion,
Avoiding Attacks.

Robert Evans, % gears old, criminally
insane patient who escaped from St
EIiEabeth's Hospital Friday night. is still
thought to be at large in Washington
Throughout the day yesterday police re-
ceived numerous telephone calls from
various sections Of the city from per-
sons who were sure that they had seen
Evans. Each time, however, the re-
ports we're investigated and found TO be-
groundless.
Little credence was given by hospital
authorities TO the theory entertained bS
police that Evans was one Of the rob.
heTs who held up Fred w. Boone, con.
fectioHier, In his store at 2l03 Pennsyl.
valia avenue yesterday morning, AND
after robbing him Of 500 and a check
for $50 tied him up and escaped.
DR.. A. P. Noyes, assistant superin-
tendent OF the hospital, said last night
that Evans would probably stay in Sc.
clusion, avoiding all company, rather
than seek out confederate and hold
up store In the daytime.
Headquarters Detectives Dennis j.
Culiinane and L. A. ODea, who tnvesti-
gated the robbery, declared that the

While Evans is suffering from a form
Of criminal insanity which makes II
impossible to predict with certainty
what course of action he win follow
DR.. Noyes thinks that there Is little
cause for alarm, and that there is small
probability that the insane gunman viii
attack any one unless provoked.
Evans escaped from the hospital Fri
day night. He was being removed from
the surgical department to Howard
Hall. He cut the leather thongs with
which his wrists were strapped and rar
into a nearby clump OF trees.
He was committed to the Hospital
after he had held up a jewelry store al

the lives OF persons on the street BY
firing his revolver as he sought L
escape last January.

His right TO the seat has been placed
