HASN'T RECEIVED REQUEST.
Chinese Minister WithhOlds Comment
on Case of Vice COnsuPs Wife.


The Chinese Minister, Chao-Chu WI,
has not yet received the demand of the
Kunomintang's executive committee
that Mrs. Ying Kao, wife of the Chinese
vice consul at San Francisco, be re-
turned to China to be tried and put to
death, if convicted, for her alleged part
in bringing opium into this country, 1t
was stated at the legation this morning,
and no comment was forthcoming on
the case.
Minister WI is keeping informed
with regard to each new development
in the case and will take steps, If neces-
sary, to see that Mrs. Kao Is given a
fair trial in this country, If she is
formally charged with smuggling by the
United States Government
It is probable that the request of the
Kunomintang that she be sent to China
will be forwarded by the Minister to
the Chinese government. If this Gov
ernment should approve that course,
Mr. WI will take the matter up at once

JENKINS, KY, July 10.-David
Hughes, 23-year-old bridegroom, was
drowned last night when a party of
friends threw him into the lake after
serenading him and his bride at their
newly established home here.
After an investigation, police today
arrested William Wright, IS, and James
Farmer, 27, both married men with
families, as the instigators Of the fatal
prank.
Hughes had wed about month
ago, but the marriage was not an
nounced until this week. After the
serenade the party threw him into the
lake. He sank and did not come up.
Several Of the serenaders dived and
the body was recovered. All efforts to
revive him failed.

bad weather had forced the salvage
fleet to withdraw temporarily to the
shelter of Milford Haven.
BY the Associated Press.
PEMBROKE, Wales, July 10.-The
British submarine L-69 today dived in
the vicinity of the stricken Hat and
tried to communicate with the 81 men
trapped within her, but without avail
The L-69 tried to communicate with
the Hat by sound telegraphy, using a
bell with Morse code, but there have
been no answering signals.
Diver Bell, reputed to be the most ex-
perienced in the navy, was taken from
the cruiser Renown and equipped with
a special German diving suit in which
he will try to locate the missing men.
1t was considered doubtful. however,
that he would be able to descend to
the 330-foot depth in which the HAT
lies. -..s-

An Evening News dispatch to London
today quoted an admiralty official as
saying: There is possibility that
some one may be alive on the sunken
submarine HAT. We shall carry on

An impressive array of life-saving ap-
paratus-the most elaborate the British
Navy could muSter-was in position
over the spot where the HAT went
down yesterday after collision with the
Liz.
First efforts we're to discover the
position of the sunken vessel, which, II
was believed, may have slipped from itS
original location in the heavy weather
OF last night. A buoy was moored Al
the spot where oil bubbles indicated il

Divers aboard a diving ship were
ready to descend and attempt to faster
tackle to the boat, despite the great
depth. as soon as her position was as
certained.

Four mine-sweepers, an anti-subma.
rine f1otilla of FIVE vessels and sever
destroyers searched the area while the
lifting lighters made ready. All waited
a decision whether the navy's new
deep-water diving apparatus could bt
used with any prospect of success.
Continuing rough seas and a heavy
low-lying mist hampered the salvage
work. AS the morning advanced TIL

PASTOR DESCRIBES
HOLY LAND TRIP
DR.. Sizoo Paints Picture Of
Jerusalem in Geographic
Society Lecture.

DR.. Joseph r. Sizoo, pastor of New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church. took
a National Geographic Society party on
a pilgrimage to Palestine last evening
at the Washington Auditorium, visiting
the shrines from Bebron to Capernaum,
made sacred by Bible narrative, linger-
ing longest in Jerusalem, where more
than 100000 pilgrims are gathered for
the celebration of the Christian year.
Jerusalem is the metropolis Of Pal
eStine, the speaker noted, and ne
showed a picture Of its only named
street, the Street of David, and the
city's boulevard, 10 feet wide. 1t needs
no fire department, because wood is so
scarce few fires are built there, and in
its narrow streets there are no street
lights.
Palestine is only about the size of
Vermont, with about twice that States
population, yet within that narrow
limit there is a wide range of geogra-
ply as we'll as historical association, he
said. One reason one can trace the
locale of many of the New Testament
events is the practice followed by the
population of Jesus day, which is char
acteristic of the present, of living along
the water courses.
Even from geographic standpoint
the River Jordan, though small, is Of
major interest, rising as it does among
the snow-capped mountains of Lebanon,
at about $500 feet, and trickling down
until it descends to 1900 feet below
sea level, when it ends in the Dead Sea,
a water body that is five times as salty
as the Atlantic Ocean. No ships sail
upon it, no bird has crossed it.
DR.. Sizoo showed the oranges and
apples of the Plain of Abstraction. passed
on to the Sea of Galilee with waters
that are bluer even. he said, than those
of the Bay of Naples, and. then visited
the bend in the River Jordan Which
Still is baptismal shrine for thou
sands of Christians, especially those who
come from Russia and Poland with
white robes, which they use there and
then carry home to be their shrouds.
