ENVOY SAYS CHINA
WOULD Be LIKE j. S.
Modern influences Forcing
Changes, Dr.. WI Tells Po-
IitiCaI Study Club.

1.-The old China wishes to become
modern" Minister Chao Chu WI said
in a talk before the Political Study
Club yesterday afternoon on changes
that are taking place in China since
disposal of the monarchy.
1.-THE basis on which these changes
are being made in China is American
progreSSiVeneSS combined with Chinese
common sense" DR.. WI said.
The progress in the last 80 years in
the Oldest independent country of the
world, DR.. WI explained, was due to
influences in modern civilization which
made it necessary for the Chinese peo-
pie to change some of their inStitu-
lions for their own good. Railroads
waterways and airways, he said, consti-
tute the greatest economic and political
needs for development in China of to-
day.
He stressed the necessity of modern
izing transportation by pointing out that
it is much more difficult to reach some
of the interior provinces of China than
it is to reach the United States.
With all the changes that are taking
place in China since disposal of the
1000 years of monarchy, the Minister
pointed out, the work has been handi-
capped by recurring internal disturb
ances and lack of sufficient capital

CONGRESS IS GIVEN
BUILDING PROPOSAL
Administrations Plan for
$100,O0O,OOO Expansion
Offered Both Houses.

BY the Associated Press.
The administration proposal for an
immediate $1,000 900 expansion of the
public buildings program to provide
post Offices and court houses through
out the country was laid yesterday be-
fore Congress
The plan will increase the program
outside of the District of Columbia to
$463, 100000. 1t is designed to acceler-
ate the building of post Offices in cities
where the postal revenues are in excess
of $4,000 annually.
Quick Action Urged.
The administration has urged Chair
man Elliott of the House Public Build
ing Committee and Chairman Reyes OF
the Senate Public Building Committee
to speed up action in order to relieve
unemployment.
Both chairmen introduced bills yes
terday to carry out the new building
plan. Hearings before the committee
are to begin this week.
The proposal also would provide au-
thority for the expenditure OF $65,000,-
900 annually for construction, instead
of $50 900, 900 as at present. 1t would
remove the restriction that allows only
10000 900 to BE- expended for con-
struction in one State in a year.
Will Hasten Program.
Elliott predicted favorable action by
Congress at this session. I'VE are going
to speed up hearings with a view tc
quick action" he said,
The plan does not call for an APP
preparation of the 100000 900 now, but
Senator Reyes said it would enable the
whole program begun five years ago ano
recently accelerated by the emergency
employment relief appropriation OF
SHE. 900, 900 to be completed in about
five instead of eight or nine years.

TWO ADMIT BLAME
IN OHIO PRISON FIRE
Grand Jury Called as ConviCtS
Confess Starting Blaze
Fatal to 800.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. April Sole
responsibility for the fire that took the
lives Of 800 prisoners at Ohio Peniten-
tiary last April 81 rested today on the
shoulders of two men.
Solution Of the plot that caused one
of the greatest prison disasters in his
tory came yesterday when Franklin
County Prosecutor Donald j. Hoskins
announced that Clinton Crate and
Hugh Gibson, convicts, had confessed
setting the fire, with view to delaying
Warden Preston E. Thomas construc-
ton program and because they OBJ
jected to aiding in the building Of a
new cell block to house fellow pris-
oners.
Jury Session Called.
Gibson, formerly Of Philadelphia, was
sentenced from Cleveland. Crate, whose
home is in Virginia. was admitted from
Dayton, Ohio. Both men were convicted
robbers and had served nine years OF
their terms.
The confessions we're announced after
an investigation by the Franklin County
grand Jury was concluded yesterday.
The Jury was called In session today
the law they may be indicted for first
degree murder and put to death in the
electric chair, If convicted.
Escape Plan Denied.
Crate and Gibson denied they plan
ned the fire with view to escaping
during the ensuing confusion.
The confessions said the fire was set
with q lighted candle which was placed
in a wooden form used in building the
new and K blocks. Oil was poured
over wood and the flames spread quickly
to the old @ and H blocks. The con-
LESSONS related that the candles came
from the prison chapel and were sup
piled by other prisoners, who knew
nothing Of the plot. They included
James Raymond, who hanged himself
while in solitary confinement during
the mutiny that turned the prison into
an armed camp after the disaster.
