General Feng Yu.Hsiang, Known as
Christian General, a Mystery Man

bls teachings are facts. but sener-
ally accepted rumors declare he has

Of the "for-igntr's religion" and the
marshal himself neither confirmed
nor denied the report.
Beyond all doubt. in the life and
work of this unusual man, there is
much simplicity and selflessness.
More interesting still. Feng's puri-
tanism has not stopped with him
self: all with whom he comes in
contact must share it. That has not
increased his popularity in all quar-
ters. On the occasion of his first
visit to Marking. the national cap
tai, his coming was preceded by a
moral crusade instituted by the
mayor. Gambling was forbidden. OPT
UNI smokers wa"e hunted down with
renewed zeal and sings houses
were closed.

on the ministers of the nationalist
government. He made his calls rid

TOM but in a truck sitting beside
the chauffeur with two or three
military guards behind. He received
visitors only from 10 Z In the
morning and had straw shelter
constructed inside the gateway to his
house where all could wait their
turn. By granting interviews until
O'Clock. the marshal relaxed his
usual rigid rule of seeing newspaper
men only at a. M Even then, he
caused some disturbance in the
habits of foreign correspondents.
Feng is an enthusiastic follower
of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen. OF Suns three
principles. the one in which the
general places most emphasis is that
concerned with the livelihood of the
people. He maintains that officials
are the servants Of the people and
have no right to enrich themselves
while there is poverty in the coun-
try. Due to his influence the hopes
of higher officers in the nationalist
army for increases in salary the first
of this year were dashed. He propos-
ed that the pay OF the higher officers
be reduced and that of the lower Of
tigers and soldiers be raised.

state Of affairs was answered by the
governor with summons to pub
lie gathering attended by the dissat-
isfied office holders and a troop OF
soldiers in full equipment. Fens
himself presided at the meeting.
First the protesting masistr rates
were invited to state their case. Then
provincial treasurer gave an EXPOSE

that all available republic resources
were far from adequate for neces-
sary public works and reforms. Then

DEATH SHIP PILOT
Reputation and Experience OF
Foote Are vouched For by
Always President.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 28.-Gen. John
F. Organ, president of Colonial Air
ways, Inc, last night issued state
ment In which he said that the reputa-
ton and experience of Lou Foote as a
pilot were above question. Foote piloted
the tri-motored Ford airplane which
crashed near the Newark, N. j., munich
pal airport March IL with loss of IA
lives. ~.
Gen. Organs statement was prompt
ed by the report Of Lieut.. Richard AID
worth, traffic manager of the Newark
airport, who said that failure of an en-
CINE, improper plotting and insufficient
knowledge Of the area on the part of
the pilot apparently were contributing
causes Of the accident
While do not wish to make a final
statement on this report until I have
had an opportunity to study it care
fully and confer with our officials" Gen.
Organ said, st has been definitely
established that the reputation and ex-
perience of Foote as pilot were above
question. AS to any error of Judgment
on his part. can say that 1t is almost
always impossible for one not partici-
pant in an accident of this kind justi-
f1ably to question the technical discre-
ton of the man called upon to act"

pilot had been familiarized with the
terrain by q superior. who few with
him over the area before the accident.

HADLEY, BRAXT0N
EASY FOR MACKS
Griffs Among Pitchers Hit
Hardest by Junior
League Leaders.

N YEW YORK, August 6.-Detrcit
and the Yankees haven't got
VI the necessary punch. st. Louis
4 is bossed too much from the
central Office to be successful.
Hence those base ball fans who live n
Philadelphia now are feeding on clover
tops and making honey. The Athletics
are thought to have the American
League pennant pretty well nailed
down.
It is interesting to note what pitchers
the Athletics have socked hardest to
get where they are. If the same
pitchers are no better in August and
September than they have been in the
season to date, the Athletics will win
handily.
Of the Boston pitchers, Rufing and
Russell each have lost four games to
the Athletics and CASTOR has lost three.
OF course Rulings defeats are not so
seriously considered because he has been
splitting defeat recklessly here and there
all season.
Yanks Not So Easy.
When the page is turned to New York
it will be found that no Yank pitcher
has lost more than two games to the
Athletics and only two have done that.
They are johnson and Pennock. But
they are enough. Only two New York
pitchers have won two games from the
Mackmen. They are Pipgras and Hoyt
and they are not enough.
On the Washington team, Hadley has
lost four to the Athletics and Braxton
three. Marberry and Brown have lost
two each. The Senators have been
heavily hogged by the Athletics this
year.
Out in Cleveland, Miljus has lost
three games to the leaders. Hudlin,
Shaute and linn have lost two each.
That doesn't say much for the Cleve-
land pitchers. However, young Terrell,
the Cleveland recruit, has won three
games from the Athletics. Excepting
Red Faber Of the White Sox, he is the
only pitcher who has done that little
thing.
Carroll of Detroit has lost four to
Philadelphia. He is not meeting ex-
pectationS. He should have been one of
time, II he has as much in him as he
seemed to have when he pitched for
Holy Cross, but he never has lived up
to his college reputation. One of these
days the big league will learn that a
college reputation isn't worth the pow
der to blow it UP. To win in college
Is one thing, but to know how to play
professional base ball Is something else.
Uhle Shy Endurance.
Uhle and Sorrell of Detroit each have
lost two in Philadelphia. Uhle hasn't
been so good since the warm weather
came on. Too much bulk and too lit
tie endurance.
Three pitchers Of the Chicago club
have lost two each to the Athletics.
They are Lyons, Adkins and McKain.
It's shame about the Lyons boy. He
should have been a pitcher for a cham
pionship team three years ago, but lie
seems to be one Of those fated to throw
away some of the best pitching in the
United States on team that tries, and
strives, and hopes, but doesn't get any
where.
Sam Gray, who was once an Athletic,
has lost three of the st. Louis games he
pitched against the Mackmen. Crowder
has lost two.
