DR.. Yen implied that China's appeal

DR.. Yen, who left China only two

"All China is turning its thoughts to

thorough investigation Of the private

Gay as authorities concentrated on Solu-
ton of certain unexplained aspects OF
the case.
Failure to establish definitely a strong
motive for the bootjack Staying of Mrs
Ilsley and her maid, Mrs. Nina Buckner
January l3, has spurred officials to seek
subStantiation of new theories.
While a Nationwide search fol-
George Crawford, colored eX-chauffeur
suspected of the murders, continued to-
day, no further clues to his whereabouts
had developed in the past few days.
Rumors persisted that Crawford had
been seen in the neighborhood of Hern-
don, Va, after the crimes, but no eye
witnesses were found to strengthen
these reports.
Unless the contemplated study of Mrs
Ilsleys affairs produces new leads, it
was expected a private detective would
be engaged to assist in pursuit of the
criminal.

DEBT AGREEMENT READY.
Final Draft in Printers Hands, Wig
gin Cables Bank.

NEW YORK, January % (P.-In a
cablegram to his home bank today, A.
H. Wiggin, chairman Of the Chase Ma
tional Bank, stated that the final draft
Of the German short-term debt agree
ment had been completed
Final draft Of agreement has just
gone to printers hands" the message
read. Have secured signatures to q
brief report, which will accompany
plan. This report now ready"
Associates of Wiggin in the Chase
National Bank expressed belief he will
sail for New York within few days.
Wiggin represented 100 American
banks in the Berlin Conference, which
for several weeks has been negotiating
an extension Of the German Standstill
agreement. This agreement provided
that foreign creditors of German insti-
tutions would leave their balances in
Germany until that country could
gradually pay them off.
While no official announcement has
been made as to the nature of the new
agreement, private banking reports here
indicate it will call for a further ex-
tension continuing throughout this year.
Recently an English bank was reported
to have agreed to extend its share Of a
German short-term credit for one year
on 6 per cent basis.
The total involved in the original
standstill agreement was over $780,
100000, of which $600,o00000 repre-
sented the participation of American
banks. Substantial amounts have since
been repaid.

Representative Sumner Sees Time

A proposal to economic by abolish

funerals of deceased members was made
today in resolution offered by Repre-
sentative Hatton w. Sumner, Democrat.

resolution, Mr.. Sumner said:
In the days when popular respect
for government was held largely through
the awe which pon1p and splendor and
pageantry attached to official person.
ages and positions there may have been
some real Justification for this sort of
thing, but among people who are
supposed to follow principles as dis
tingutshed from persons, and where
public officials are merely private per-
sons, temporarily called to the public
service, the expenditure of public funds
in connection with congressional fu-
nerals cannot be justified.
Il believe the majority of the mem
bers of Congress desire to abolish this
custom.
ITO defeat such resolution, carry
ing out custom older than the Gov
ernment, would be an overt act of dis
respect, shown in the presence of death.
In order to avoid that, and to bring
the matter to an issue when nothing of
that sort would be involved, have hit
upon the plan of introducing this reso-
luton in order to give the House an
opportunity to determine the matter Of
policy free from any possible application

PEACE IN CABINET

British Papers Denounce
Failure to Resign After
Split on Tariff.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 23.-Plans fol
launching the national government:
new general protective tariff proposal
q departure from long precedent, went
ahead today after the threatened cab
met split of yesterday, amid good
deal Of criticism.
Prime Minister Macdonald was eX-
pected to introduce the bill soon after
Parliament meets on February 2, and
supporters of the plan said they were
moved by "the stern compulsion OF
events"
London newspapers, however, with the
exception of the Daily Mail, criticized
both the plan and the cabinet peace
making. British precedent calls for
resignation of cabinet in such q case
of difference of views as appeared yes
terday, and many people professed to
see forebodings in departure from this
custom.
Success Doubted.
The Morning Post, tariff paper, said
the patching up of differences was "a
revolution in British government" and
added "the expedient is unsound and
cannot well succeed"
The tariff will remain when the
crisis is forgotten" said the Telegraph
which also expressed dislike for the
emergency solution and said only the
emergency justified it. THE all-im-
portant fact is" it added, "that for the
first time since days past living memory
the British government is pledged tc
introduce a general tariff on manufac-
tured and partly manufactured goods
The Daily Express, which has attack
ed the government almost daily for not
adopting Lord Beaverbrook's plan fol
an empire tariff, heaped scorn on the
arrangement, declaring 1.-The perceptions
of the government have been blunteo
by the long discussions OF the last two
days"
Called Contemplate.
There were some reports that the bill
presented to Parliament may carry q
provision for empire preference scheo-
ules.
The Free Trade News-Chronicle and
the Labor Herald criticized the harmony
arrangement vigorously. TITS con-
temptible business" said the Herald
once the firmest supporter of the prime
minister. In effect, 1t shows that Mac
Donald Is determined to hold of1ce at
any cost" ,
This extraordinary arrangement,
the News-Chronicle said, bad in theory
and utterly impracticable, will be every

SHANGHAI THREAT
UNEXPECTED HERE
Serious Complications May
Result From Japanese Ac-
ton in Treaty City.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Official quarters in Washington view
with much apprehension the somewhat
unexpected move Of the japanese gov
ernment in Shanghai. 1t is believed
that If the Japanese put into effect
their threat to occupy the Chinese mill
tary establishments in that city, serious
international complications may result.
Shanghai Is treaty CITY," in which
the japanese have no more rights than
any other foreign nation. Until now,
II any foreign nation felt that its In
terests in the Shanghai area were in
any way harmed by the Chinese 1t con-
suited the other foreign co-occupants
of the city, and whatever measures were
to be taken were decided in common.
Thus the military measures the British
took in 1929, when they sent some 5000
men to Shanghai, was the result of an
exchange of views between all the in
tereSted governments and the force was
sent only after agreement OF all the
other powers had been obtained.
AS far as We know in Washington,
the japanese government has neither
consulted nor informed the United
States Government about the action
L OklO lIteilueu W ldhc III lcEaiu W
Shanghai The news of the intended
occupation of the Chinese military es-
Establishments" came quite Unexpectedly.
OF course, those who follow closely
the Japanese Chinese situation realize
that Japan, after having successfully
concluded the military occupation Of
Manchruria, must now use all means
available to her, diplomatic and mill
tary, to force the Chinese to suspend
the boycott which is inforced now on
japanese goods. Very few, however. ex-
pected the japanese to exercise pressure
on Shanghai An occupation of Shan
tung or the blockade of the ports in the
Korean Gulf were considered more
likely than the occupation of the most
important international city in China.
