Null was said to have written to

LONDON, Nov. 29.-Default on
the December debt payment to
the United States appeared out
of the question today as cabinet
members completed their argu-
ments for postponement which are
to be presented to Washington.
1t was reported that Britain
might suggest payment of $66,550,-
600 interest and postponement of
the $30,000,00O payment on prin-
cipal. Financial quarters insisted,
however, that Britain had the
money to pay, and political sources
said default must be avoided to
protect British credit and empire
trade.
The pound sterling, after OPEN
ing at s319A, dropped rapidly be-
low the all time low of $3.17A eS-
tablished yesterday and touched
S3.15% after noon. Gold reached
a new high at 129 shillings 3R
pence an ounce.
Lord Tyrrell, British ambassador
to France, joined the conference.
He has conferred recently with
Premier Edouard Herriot and ar
rived here Unexpectedly last night.
Prime Minister j. Ramsay Mac
Donald was said to consider de-
fault "intolerable.' Most members
of parliament were said to hold
similar view.
There was no definite indication
Of what the government intended
to do, however, if the United States
rejected the next postponement
plea. The only plan advanced SO
far was that of partial payment,

CHINESE TONG
WAR EXPECTED
Members OF Two Families Fail
In Peace Negotiations After
Long Deliberations.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.-U.P)
Extra squads of police patrolled
Chinatown today as a blood feud
threatened to flare into open war;
fare between two of the wealthiest
and most powerful Chinese tongs
in America.
peace Negotiations between the
Wong Family and Four Families
have all but collapsed and the sit
uation is extremely Serious" said
Police Chief william Quinn.
Police learned that kilograms
have been sent up and down the
coast warning both factions to seek
cover. Members of both families
in San Francisco had vanished to-
| day.
The feud began Nov. l, when the
body of Wong Woo Lip, member
of the Wong Family, was found in
Chinatown. He had been shot. Lew
Hong June, member of the -Four
Families, was indicted for the MUIR
der and is under arrest in New
York.
The Wong family demanded $12,-
500 indemnity for the death OF its
member, it was learned. The -Four
Families refused to pay and a
peace committee" has been in ses-
sion nightly trying to effect an
amicable agreement. The committee
failed to assemble last night and
police learned that clash appear
ed imminent. All available Off
GERS were rushed to the district.
Both tongs are national in scope
and clash between them probab-
ly would result in outbreaks in other
cities. Chief Quinn expressed be-
lief that the first outbreak would
occur in Los Angeles Chinatown.
1.-THE Chinese district there is
comparatively wide open and not
under such rigid police surveil-
lance" he said.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 90. U.P)-
Chinatown, to all appearances, was
deserted today as reports were
current that warfare between the
Four Families and Wong associa-
ton was about to break out.
While police Joined with the
Chinese vice-consul here in depre-
eating a "Tong" war, the fact that
the usual hustle and activity of
the Chinese quarter was stilled
added strength to the war report.
Yi-Seng S. Kiang, vice consul
for the Republic of China, declared
entirely unfounded" reports of a
break between the -Four Families
and. the Wong association.
"These are only family associa-
tions and by no means so-called
Tongs," the vice-conSul said. "T'he
Chinese here are as peaceful and
law-abiding as any other foreign
ers."

HARTFORD, CONN.
SENDS GREETING
TO Ell. CENTRIC

Greetings to the people Of the
best city in the country were re-
ceived today by The Press from
the mayor of the second best city
in the country on behalf of his
fellow citizens and the thirteenth
annual International Flower show.
For the benefit OF those who do
not know, the second best city III
the country is Hartford, Conncctl-
cut; its mayor is William j. Rankin,
who caused two dozen handsome
roses to be delivered to the Press
office from the Ritz Flower Shop,
through the Florists Telegraph De-
livery association.
The International Flower show is
now in progress in Hartford with
florists from all parts of the coun-
try in attendance. Admitting to
being somewhat biased in the mat
ter, the editor of The Press never
theless goes ON record as saying
that they could have picked only
one better city-El CentrO.
We regret that space does not
permit listing the beauties and at
fractions of Hartford, but anyone
interested will be given full infor-
nation by the editor any time he
feels that ne can spare week or
two from his duties.
The roses are beautiful, SO is the

not do. The spectator minus the weight
of responsibility, and quite often ignor-
ant of the exact status of affairs does not
hesitate to express his opinion of the
house in derogatory terms.
Yet we believe that the American peo-
pie have high regard for their members
of congress and senators as individuals
and that they realize the political arena
at Washington is not a sinecure. Under
meath their fault-finding they have faith
in the sincerity of their representatives.
They must have, for without that faith
this government IS doomed to perish.
ANY who have ever attended sessions
of congress, know that it s not sally
go-easy club-life existence. Partisan feel
ing and individual desires in behalf of
legislation cause continual drain on the
physique.
CONGRESSMAN Vestal's death may be the
notice needed by other members that not
even political devotion warrants leopard
izing ones health.

COURT BATTLE
OVER ESTATE
LENGTHY One

An eight year old battle over the
estate Of Silas H. Bryan famed
into file tor a few moments in
judge Vaughn n. Thompson's de-
partment of the superior court
again yesterday afternoon when
Mrs. Gladys NJ. Clark. acting as her
own attorney and in behalf Of two
children. moved to reopen hear
ings on all old accounts OF Grace
Arnold. niece of Bryant and ad-
ministratriX of the estate.
Judge Thompson heard and de-
MED the motion, then continued a
hearing en- the final account Of
the Administrative, and on objec-
tions to the final account by Mrs.
Clark and Mrs. Mary E. Bryant,
widow of Bryant, until April p.
BRYANT died in Imperial county
November 30. 1924, leaving an estate
valued at $4,000. OF this, $500
was left to Mavis Clark and the
same amount to Merrell Clark,
children OF Mrs. Clark, in whose
house Bryant had lived as a boarder
for some time.
From time to time Mrs. Clark has
interposed objections to accountings
rendered by Grace Arnold as adj
ministratrix of the estate, and each
time her objections have overruled.
She made what she sald would
be her last objection when she ap-
peared in court yesterday after
noon to ask that Judge Thompson
hear her story She had no actual
evidence OF fraud but it was ap-
parent to her the estate has been
administered fraudulently. she said,
asking only that the court hear
her story.
Because Of the lack of evidence,
Judge Thompson could not listen
to the objections Of Mrs. Clark, and
overruled her.
Il is the contention Of the mother
her children are being dealt with
unfairly in administration Of the
estate.

CONGRESS- NO CLUB

WHILE the actions Of the house of rep

ed from political viewpoint, have not
been such as TO draw forth the commend
alton of the country, there is no disputing
The fact that individual members are sub
jected to a severe strain and that they
have been working unusually hard for
several weeks.
Proof of this is seen in the sudden
death of Representative Albert H. Vestal
of Indiana, yesterday. The congressman
was a victim of heart attack, brought
on by excessive work in connection with
his congressional duties.
Several days ago a physician warned
the house members that they must slow
up in their work or expose themselves to
a severe tax on their physical resources.
1t is comparatively easy matter for
those of US on the sidelines, exempt from
the wear and tear of strife, to tell those in
the game what they should or should
