Wang Denies Stories

Ranking, China, Nov. 50 GPj-C, I. Wang, foreign minister of the Ranking central Chinese govern- 1rent today denied cmphatically that 1ircct negotiations were proceeding between China and Russia for set lement of the military problem srown up around the Chinese East .rn Railway in Manchuria.

 We tclegraphed Dr. Wu ct Gen proposals as published Thursday. Apparently pr. Wu interpreted them that we had reached the stage of direct negotiations. His view was srroneous.'
 The proposals published Thursday .imc before, demanded first Sino- Russian joint commission to inNes- .gatc border conditions, and sec ond, withdrawal of troops by both sides to at least 50 miles from the border.
 Threat in Note Sent
 The proposal endcd with the statement that rejection would "in- 1icate Russia entertains warliiie ambitions toward China. The nI- ,ionalist government will be prepar- d to meet the Soviet move accorl- ngly.'
 Today Wang added: "When Mos ,oW accepts Rankings conditions hen Ranking will be ready and willing to negotiate. Now we are just trying to establish a basis for negotiations and that basis has not jet been reached"
 He said Moscow advices that Nan king had agreed to send representa- lives to Khadarovsk were untrue. However Ranking vas willing to meet such proposals Or to send dele gates almost anywhere, providing Moscow assented to Rankings pre- iminary conditions, this latter being he all-important factor.

 We unreservedIy are seeking teaccful settlement by way of direct negotiations" said MT. Wang. "Ihcss In no wise are a rcality.'
 He said he appreciated the friend , ly interest shown by the United states and other powers to effect peaceful settlement of the Man .hurian controversy, although his government had not yet been notified of what had been done.

 Danger in ChaWinS Pipes
 A warning against carelessncss in thaWing frozen water pipes was i&- sued today by Deputy Fire Chief Michael Souney. chief of the bureau of fire prevention. Chief Sounly called attention to the dangers of us- ing inflammablc fluids or blow torches. Hot water is just as gool, if used properly, and d great deal safcr," he said.
 He also warned against the use of gasoline and other similar fluids n starting fires.
 Deputy Chief Souney's statement follows:
 with the coming of cold weather, the fire department is faced with the likelihood of numerous calls for fires caused by the use of open flame in thaWing out frozen pipes,
 We wish 10 warn all household CTS against this dangerous and un- necessary practice.
 The best method for use in thaWlng pipes is to wrap cloths around the frozen and exposed por- tons and pouring hot water on the cloths. Do not forget to open al faucets before this is done, other wise damage will probably be done to the plumbing system.
 "We have had many fires in the past, caused by the usc of blow torches and other open fires. The public can guard against losses this year. and also be Of assistance to the fire department by exercising pre- caution.
 "Another source Of fire from which large damage has come is found in the practice Of building ul a hot fire and leaving the house without turning off drafts. This Is a particularly dangerous practice in homes where hot-air heating sys- tems are cmp,Oycd, with hot dir ducts going through partitions. It is present in d lesser degree in al ether heating plants.
 "Whcn suspicious of q fire within the partitions or elsewhere, do not hesitate to notify fire headquarters a. once"
 The cold weather did not interfere with the operation of train or trol- ley services, according to repor;- from the New York. New Haven and Hartford and the Connecticut Com- panes.
 Ice companies report ice froz"n to depth of two inches on the ponds today.

SLIGHT HOPE
OF TAX SLASH
Government Expenses for
Next Two Years Increased.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, March 22.-There
will be no tax reductions for the
first two years of the Hoover adj
ministration, in the opinion OF
treasury experts today.
Though Secretary Andrew Mellon
is understood to hope he can cap
his official career with another cut
approximating those distributed
under the Coolidge administration,
the state of the treasury and ap-
preaching expenditures for cruisers,
farm and flood relief and other

At the same time treasury heads
are gratified by the tremendous
gain in income tax receipts reported
for the first nine months of the

continues, it was estimated that the
surplus might run nearer 100000
