The fine art of buccaneering as
practiced by the sea wolves of south
China may lack much of the romance
and glamor of the days of the Span

of captives carried off for ransom.

In the last ten years, an average
of three foreign ships a year have
been pirated in Bias bay territory.
How many Chinese ships and junks
have been seized is not known. but it
is safe TO presume that the total runs
into three figures annually. Until
recently little resistance was offered
by the ships officers and piracy was
considered by the Chinese a fairly
safe trade to follow.
In the case of foreign vessels all

be too great TO risk staging an attack

characterized James G. Blaine as a

 State Capitol, Albany, N. Y., Aug 15.-(UP)-Mayor James J. Wal ker, "a sick man." according to his physicians, wearily resumed his defense today against charges Involving unexplained revenue Of nearly $1,000,00 traced to the ac- counts of Russell T. Sherwood. his reputed financial secretary.
 The mayor, who today permitted a tan shirt to add touch of color to his hitherto subdued blue serge, arrived in the hearing room at 1:2b D. m. with his legal staff.
 For ten minutes he busted him. self reading a sheaf of telegrams handed to him as he sat at the counsel table. A pair of horn n-rim- med glasses made him appear aca- demic.
 Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. judge and jury in the attempt to oust the New York mayor from his $40, ,000-a-year job, indicated this afternoon that he would call his own witnesses to confirm cer- tain parts of the testimony accept ed by the Hofstadter Investigating committee.
 It was reported that Roosevelt had already subpoenaed Walter R. Herrick, former commissioner of parks, whose testimony concern ing one financial transaction diff fered materially from that of the mayor.
 Mrs. Walker, weakened by a re- cent operation, did not accompany her husband. She suffered a faint ing spell at the hotel shortly after she and the mayor returned from mass at St. Mary's church, an hour before the hearing opened.
 Governor Roosevelt, accompanied by Martin Conboy, one of the at torneys aiding him in the legal aspects of the case, entered the hearing chamber at TAO.
 Judge Seabury opened the days proceedings by declaring that pho- tostatic copies of drafts, cheeks and letters of credit could be identi- fled and admitted to evidence.
 Roosevelt then made formal announcement that he would call Walter F. Herrick to testify. The former park commissioner was al- ready awaiting a call, in the corri- dor outside the executive chamber.
 At this point, John J. Curtin, the mayors chief counsel, arose to pro test certain errors' in the official transcript of the testimony of the present hearing.
 "Tell us what they are and we will make :he corrections in the governors copy.' Conboy said.
 Herrick entered the room and was sworn in by the governor.
 "I notice." said Roosevelt pleas antly, that you and I and the mayor served in the legislature 20 years ago. Please tell in your own words, some of the general outline of the transaction relating to the purchase of the Interstate Trust company stock.'
 This was the "dear' whereby Mayor Walker was allotted 300 shares of stock in the banking company. The shares later found their way into the possession of F.. R. Fageol, J. Allan Smith, and State Senator John A. Hastings. who were actively interested in the promotion of the Equitable Bus company.
