Saws that Americans are staying
at their own risk. Discusses
neutrality and labor.

President Roosevelt described the
Sino-Japanese situation this week
as being an lawful mess" and said
that the 1880 Americans still in
China were staying at their own
risk.
At a press conference abroad the
Yacht Potomac in Great Salt pond
off Block Island, r. l., he reiter-
, ated the administration was still on
a 24-hour watching basis as far as
invoking neutrality was concerned.
AS rain and wind whipped the
usually calm water of this storm
refuge, the Chief Executive dis
cussed a great many domestic and
foreign problems with the newspa-
permen trailing his vacation flotilla
on the Yacht Indian.
He said the Americans still in
China had been urged repeatedly to
come out. He added those remain
ing were scattered all over the vast
country and, while a great many
had declined to leave others were
so far in the interior they probably
have not had time to get out.
For this reason, he said, no given
date had been set to complete the
evacuation. Most Americans there
now are missionaries and teachers,
he said.
Discussing domestic affairs and his
plans of the immediate future. he
| said he had reached no conclusions
on a special session of Congress or
a western trip late this month, but
he added he would make the Pacific
journey if the Far Eastern situation
permitted.
He said, if he made the trip, he
! would make no formal speeches.
and there would be very little poll
tics involved.
He ikened it to his 1886 Dust
Bowl tour, saying there would be
more intake than outgo as far as
speeches 60, with only few in
formal talks now and then.
He said another important reason
for the trip would be to see his
grandchildren, Curtis and Elanor
Dali, son and daughter of his
daughter, Anna, now Mrs. John
Boettiger of Seattle.
One of the difficulties facing the
administration in connection with
invoking neutrality in the Far East
was understood to be the problem
of getting the remaining Americans
out.
Another is said to be difficulty,
once neutrality is proclaimed, of
maintaining American troops in
troubled areas not under protection
of American nationals, and the fur
thercomplication that no one knows
where the next pressure area will
be.

Public sentiment is definitely

it. There is also the question of

times more important than
dollars.

action in this matter. We were

DENIES PURSUIT
OF CULL|NAN

DETROIT, May 4 U.N.SJ.
Laura Strittmatter, defending
herself in a 100000 alienation of
affections case, denied on the
witness stand yesterday that she
ever had pursued Charles H. Cul.
Imam.
Miss Strittmatter, who went
through a marriage ceremony in
1885 with Cullinan in Washing
ton, had the marriage annulled
when she found that he already
had a wife-Mrs. Halle M. Cul'
Imam, who now is seeking the
100000.
Answering the questions Of At

voice, Miss Strittmatter said she
met Cullinan, an auditor for the

worked as a clerk. She recalled

Lippman asked:

She said Cullinan left her in
January, 1896, and went to Wash

COURT CHANGE
SCORED ANEW
International News Service

-
Constitutionality of President
Roosevelt'S Supreme Court bill
was challenged anew today. Sem
ator Hatch CD of New Mexico
charged it constituted an unlaw-
full use of a lawful power to IN
fluence the tribunals decisions.
Hatch said Congress had the
constitutional power to authorize
appointment of new justice solely
for the purpose Of enabling the
court to perform its duties. De-
claring the President proposed to
add justices solely to change the
trend of decisions, Hatch said such
a use of power was "anti-consti-
tutional."
Earlier. Representative Petten-
gill CD, of Indiana, attacked the
bill as unconstitutional. He
charged it would give justices
of the high court the power to de-
termine the size of the court.
This, he added, is unconstitu-
tional.
The Hatch compromise, now
being considered in secret session
by the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee, would authorize appointment
of one new justice every year so
long as there remained a justice
on the court over 10. He would
permit the filling of normal va
cancieS but would prohibit new
appointments when justices over
10 retired or died.
