WASHINGTON, July 25.-Out- come of the controversy arising over the control of the Chinese Eastern Railway, seized by the Chinese, is of interest to the United States
 The American interest arisee through the presence in Harbin, a Manchurian city which is head quarters of the railroad, of 150 citi- zens of the United States and the increased importance of Manchur- ia as market for American made goods. From a paltry fraction, the American share of the Chinese provinces large imports has risen to IA per cent.
 Operation of railroads in China is of direct concern not only to that nation but the neighboring coun- tries of Russia and Japan. Tapping rich mineral and farm country, the Chinese Eastern railway was built by the Russians in 1896 to pro- vide short route to the Russian port of Vladivostok.
 Running straight across north- ern Manchuria by permission of the Chinese government, the line con- meets with the Trans-Siberian rail- road at Harbin and reduces the mileage 568 miles The line is the top bar to the T shaped railroad system of Manchuria, the road con- meeting Harbin with the Southern railroad, owned large ly by the Japanese, which runs to Darien (Old Port Arthur.
 Thus it provides the only direct route between the other states of the Soviet union and Vladivostok, and it's 1900 miles of track is the

[ FOUND DEAD
 FROM THIRST

BLUETHE, Cal, July 25.-Out of the desert fastness comes the mea- gre story telling of the tragic death from thirst of a entire Mexican family of seven.
 A party of Mexican boys found the bodies of Enrique Armenia, wife and five children scattered about disabled automobile near seldom used mountainous desert road.
 The radiator of the car, small sedan, was empty.
 A pair of pliers, beneath the tap, which was open, gave mute evil dence that the last drop of water had been drained in an effort to quench thirst.
 The bodies were at various dis tances from the car. Tracks were in every direction indicating the frantic search for water. A water hole six miles away was not found.

WASHINGTON, July 25--A years play of politics has brought some startling switches in the lineups of the national parties.
 Herbert Hoover has ascended the party throne to find his former enemies his friends, and his friends of the campaign among his oppon- entS today
 It was Senator Watson of Indi- ana and President Curtis who led the stout-hearted drive of the coalition against the Hoover presi- dential candidacy in the party bat tie last year. Today the Presi- dent counts them as his two trust worthy advisers.
 Senator Borah of Idaho and Sem ator Brookhart of Iowa, waged the valiant Hoover campaign in the doubtful farm areas of the middle west and south last Fall. But they were the first to break with the President and they broke" on the all important issue of farm relief Over in the Democratic ranks, the outstanding candidates for the presidency in that party's futile campaign-Alfred E. Smith, of New York, and James A. Reed, of Mis- souri-have. retired to the sidelines of private life, temporarily, at least Senator Joe Robinson of Arkan- sas, Democratic leader in the Sen- ate and Vice Presidential nominee last year, has taken up the task of uniting the minority band for the four-year contest with the Hoover Administration. He led with con- siderable success, too. in the first test, as he twice had the Senate insist upon the export debenture principle of farm relief over the strong opposition of Herbert Hoo- yer.
 The surprising changes lead to the question of what the new years will bring. Are the rifts between President Hoover and Borah and Brookhart politically serious? Will Senator Robinson's leadership in the Senate be a significant point when the Democrats cast about for Presidential timber?
 Borah and Brookhart are in dead earnest for the export debenture farm relief proposition, which MT. Hoover was successful in having

eliminated if m the agricultural measure passed in the extra session. They are going on with their fight to have the debenture added to the pending tariff bill Brookhart has called for a presidential candidate who will support the debenture.
 Vice President Curtis and Sena- tor Watson are of the school of the regulars" Once they were defeat ed at the Republican National Con- yention last year, they were among the first to offer their services in the partys campaign. They are practical politicians, and are among those who contend that the party must stand four years hence on it's record of this administration.
 The eruption in the Democratic fold resulting from the Smith can- didacy is declared by the h ar working party leaders to be re- spending to treatment. Although a running mate of Governor Smith for Democracy last year, Senator Robinson was unchallenged as his party's leader in the Senate by those southerners who did bolt the Smith candidacy.
 So there are some of those who are given to long prophecies who sec in the southern Senator the possibility of link between the warning Smith factions of the north and the rcvolting Democrats of the southland.

to Japan commercially and there are great number of it's nationals in the disputed area.
 Under an agreement of 1924. the Chinese Eastern railway has been operated jointly by the Chinese and Russian governments. By the coup in taking over administration of the railroad at Haroin, the Chi nese have struck decisive blow at the spread of Russian influence within their domain, which has been growing since the days of the czarS.
 Russia agreed to a hands off policy as far as Chinese domestic policies were concerned in the 1924 agreement for the operation of the railroad.
 Following the seizure of the road on order of Gov. Cnang Ching Hui, of Harbin, c. T. Wang, foreign min ister of the nationalist government in Peking, said this promise had been violated.
 The Harbin authorities wrested control of the railroad from the Russians and deported them as a conference was being held by Presi- dent Chiang Kai-Shek, head of the nationalist government, Minister Wang and Chang Hseuh-Liang. war lord of Manchuria, in which Harbin is situated.
 The action brought an ultimatum from Russia through L. M. Kara khan, vice commissar for foreign affairs, that it sought a peaceable settlement of the difficulties but warned that it would resort ito other means" if necessary.

FRISCO PLANS
 ALASKAN TOUR,
 CHAMBER TOLD
San Francisco Ch a m b e r May Stage Trip North in
 l930, Says Gov. Parks

It is altogether possible that the San Francisco Chamber of Com merce will stage an Alaska visi- tation next summer, Gov George A. Parks told the local Chamber today. He was the only speaker at today's meeting, reviewing brief ly his recent one-day flight from Juneau to San Francisco and his visit to Washington.
 The Governor was a guest of the San Francisco Chamber during his stay in that city. It was deeply interested in local airplane de- velopment and astonished at the extent to which airtransportation has been developed throughout Alaska.
 Air Trip Impressive
 His flight to San Francisco, Gov. Parks, said was most impressive A delay at Seattle for plane repairs threw him out of his schedule time several hours but the journey was accomplished without difficulty. He had expected to reach San Fran cisco at 5 pm. but did not lanc at the Oakland airport until g pm.
 A fog north of the city forced the plane to detour and come in from the south. AS it winged over the bay, the lights around it and the panorama opened was most beauti- full. When the plane appeared over the airport, flood lights were switched on and from a height of 5000 feet objects on the land ing field were easily visible. The Oakland airport, he said, is one of the finest in the United States. The Governor was extended every possible courtesy during his stay in San Francisco.
 Goes Over Budget
 In Washington he conferred with officials relative to budget esti- mates for Alaska activities for the coming fiscal year, and discussed other matters. He was assured by the Treasury Department that con- tracts for the Alaska capitol build ing would be awarded by August 1, and it is expected work will be started within 30 days from that time.

FARM RELIEF 4CT
 BOOST FARMERS
 BORROWING POWER
By FRANK I. WHEELER GA. P. Farm Editor)

WASHINGTON, July 25.-By vir- tue of the farm relief act the pro- ducer of an agricultural commod- ity can get 20 per cent more of the value of his crop when he turns it over to the cooperative through which he sells.
 Heretofore a cooperative has been able to borrow from federal inter- mediate banks only 60 to 65 per cent of the value of the commod- ity it acquires. Thus a farmer selling wheat when the market was $1 bushel was paid 50 to 65 cents on the dollar.
 He had to wait until his coopera- tive or pool passed the grain on to collect the balance. Many pool members were unable to meet their
