All that seems to count with some folks

BIG SEIZURE
OF DOPE MADE
Chinese Enjoys Daughter
Said to Have Had Mar
cotics Worth Million

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-(R)-
Eleven pieces of baggage brought
from China to San Francisco by
Mrs. Susie Wing Kao, daughter Of
the Chinese minister to Cuba and
wife of the Chinese vice consul here,
disgorged a fortune in opium when
opened late yesterday by customs
officials.
The baggage, seized last Friday as
the result of reports received from
representatives in China of the
United States treasury department,
was opened upon instructions from
Washington that Mrs. Kao was not
entitled to diplomatic privileges.
Customs officers opened the trunks
and s~uitcaseS in the presence Of Mr..
and Mrs. Kao and their attorneys,
who protested the act was a vio-
lation Of a Chinese-American treaty.
Mrs. Kao was not detained.
Value of the opium was fixed by
customs officers at $1,000,000.
Mrs. Kao declared the opium was
not her property and she had not
known the trunks contained the
drug. She said she had been per-
suaded by wealthy and influential
friends in China to bring the eleven
pieces of baggage into San Fran
cisco under diplomatic status and
believed they had contained presents
for friends in this country.

Is SAVED FROM
SINKING STEAMER

LONDON, July 9.-(P)-With res
cue of Is survivors of the Swedish
steamer Bottle, wrecked near Var
mouth on a sand bank Saturday
night, an explanation has been of
fered of a mysterious north sea ex-
plosion which led to fear of a ma
jor Sea disaster.
A Dutch steamer took the officers
and crew of the Bottle off when it
was seen she would founder. Later
the steamer Arneberg in the same
locality w~irelessed Lloyd's here an
unidentified ship had sunk nearby
after an explosion.
Captain Borreson of the Bottle
after examining the Arneberg's
reckonings said he was convinced
the explosion was due to the Bottles
matches blowing off when the tide
came up and it slipped off the sand
bank into deep water, long after the
crew had been taken off her.
The crew of the Bottle were landed
at Hull today.

Senator Demands

Speeding up Of the tariff bill work
by the senate finance committee to
insure it's preparation for the SEN
ate by the time the recess ends
August 10 is demanded by Senator
Watson of Indiana, the republican
leader.
His move is seen as the first step
in an administration effort to wind
up the tariff contest before the reg
ular session opens in December.
Chairman Smoot Of the committee
has been apprehensive of late that
the bill wouldn't be ready by August
10.
President Hoover wants this high
" controversial legislation out Of
the way and on the statute books
before the biennial congressional
campaigns begin next spring. The
republicans want to keep the I'M
pending tariff struggle in the senate
out of that campaign, If possible.

TWO VACANCIES
ONFARM BOARD
Hoover Expected to End
Appointments In Time
For First Meeting

WASHINGTON, July 9.-P1-
Only two vacancies remained today
in the membership Of the federal
farm board, and President Hoover
expects to have these filled in time
for the appointees to attend the first
meeting Monday.
At least one Of theeS vacancies ie
to be filled with a man experienced
in the production and marketing of
vr5eat, likely to be the first COM
modify which the board will attempt
to Sctabilize THROUGH enjoyment of
partxor ell of the Sss~s..-SJ,000 already
madk available out Of its $500, 000, 900
revolving fund.
The other vacancy may also go to
a representative of this division of
agriculture, but the president has
experienced considerable difficulty
in making a selection in that field
and is known to have desired, in
the beginning at any rate. to have
a banker on the board. If, as has
been suggested, he has abandoned
the idea of including a financier in
the membership, it is regarded as
most likely he will attempt to give
either wheat or cotton a second
spokesman.
The appointive membership was
brought up to six with the accept
ance of the place as representative
Of the dairying industry by William
F. Schilling of Mortified. Mimi,
president of the Twin City Milk
Producers association. w. S. Mos
Grip, secretary-treasurer Of that or
ganization, was offered the appoint
ment but declined.

by Juliu Manu-, premier, appeared
fully a projected military coup

firmly than ever to Bucharest.
AS a result of strict censorship the
only direct advices obtainable, were
contained in an official government
communique, which said:
Some civil ~agitators. known for
a long time to the authorities as
men without scruple OF worth. or
gained a ridiculous plot against
the form of the state. without caus-
ing the least disorder.
THE head conspirator is former
Colonel August Stojka. They could
achieve nothing except the adhesion
of two officers, Captain Cambria and
Lieutenant Georgescu. Some fac
tory workmen also joined the plot
tiers. All are arrested.
Investigations are being con-
tinued. All sensational reports of
disorders are without foundation
and perfect quiet reigns in the coun-
try. Order is secured in all par
ticulars and the army Is as ever at
its post"
Other reports, notably those re-
ceived from travellers arriving here
from the Rumanian capital were
more disquieting but even they in
dicated the government had the sit
uation well in hand.
The version of the affair generally
accepted here was that a we'll boil
stored plct existed to overthrow the
Manu- government, reinstating the
liberal regime which it ouSted, or a
military dictatorship.
