C 4 | n 4 CLAIMS
MAY EXEMPT
j. s. COURT

The State Department was still
without word today from the
Chinese nationalist government
concerning the reported action of
the Marking state council that
extraordinarily would be abol-
ished January /.
While neither Secretary Of
State Stimson nor other officials
believe the decree applies to the
United States, the American Gov.
eminent will not recognize repudi-
alton of its treaty with China Of
1874, granting American nationals
the right to be tried or to bring
suit In American courts in
Chinese territory.
Soon To Expire
The treaty expires in 1884, and
in the meantime, negotiations
have been in progress since the
washington arms treaties Of 1921,
for gradual REIMBURSEMENT OF
extraterritorial rights.
Stimson announced that he was
standing on his note Of last
August which informed the new
nationalist government that
while the United States was Civ
ing sympathetic consideration to
the Chinese demand, favorable
action would be deferred until
the Chinese judicial system was
modernized along occidenta
standards Of jurisprudence, and
proper guarantees were arranged
for the protection Of American
rights before Chinese tribunals.
Some Exempt
In the absence Of formal word
officials here are inclined to be
ieve the action by the state
council is directed toward those
countries whose treaties have ex.
pired or viii expire at the end
Of this year, and those who have
expressed a willingness to waive
their extraterritorial rights con-
tineent on other nations taking
similar action.

BIG INNING
DUE EACH
LATER

For the second time in few
weeks, the White House has
lodged the Dolly Gann-Alice Long
worth social precedence feud, by
including neither in invitations to
State functions.
The guest list for the State din
. ner given last night in honor Of
President-elect Ortiz Rubio of
Mexico and Sonora de Ortiz Rubio
contained neither the names Of
Vice President Curtis and Mrs.
Gam nor Speaker Longworth and
Princess Alice"
japanese Dinner
Another occasion when they
were left off was the State dinner
to the Japanese delegation to the
London naval conference, when it
spent a few days here.
The last occasion on which Mrs.
Cam was q dinner guest at the
White House was when Premier
Ramsay Macdonald and Miss Ish-
bel MacDonald were the guests OF
honor. Then the British arnbas-
sador waived his rank so that the
British Prime Minister could have
the place of honor at Mrs.
Hoover's right, and Miss IShbel
was seated most anywhere"
Mrs. Gam was given second
place on the left of the Presi-
dent, while Lady Isabella How
ard, the chatellaine Of the British
Embassy, was accorded the place
on the right. Curtis claimed his
own seat on the left Of Mrs.
Hoover.
The Longworths were not
there. Although they arrived in
town from Cincinnati that night,
they managed to make it "just
too late" to attend.
ArtfuI DOdgfng
The fact that the disputing
parties were not invited to the
Japanese and Ortiz Rubio func-
tionS has convinced the socially
wise ones that the White House,
anxious not to feed the flames
al social diScord has decided to
leave the Longworths and the
Vice President and his half sister
off the lists except when 1t is
unavoidable. and then entertain
them separately.
A dinner will be given to the
Vice President at which the
Longworths will not be invited,
and then one to the Speaker
when Curtis and Mrs. Gam will
be left out. These formal func-
lions are scheduled for next
month.

McLennan followed.
Late in the quarter Roberts re-

powerful Yale line stopped the
light Maryland backs cold. and
Yale started a rush that brought
the ball down deep in Maryland

Maryland braced and took the
