morning killed 1000 Chinese soldiers
and civilians. It was this clash that
caused the crisis to reach its present
and most acute stage. Fighting had
been virtually halted for a week under
terms of . truce between local mill
tary authorities.
The Chinese declared they had been
attacked while carrying out terms of
an earlier Japanese demand to re-
place the 37th Division garrison at
Peiping with troops of the 38th
Division.
japanese Garrison Doubled.
Japan has more than doubled her
normal garrison in North China in
the three weeks of crisis. Under the
Boxer protocol Of 1901 she-with other
major powers-was given the right to
maintain q garrison in the area to
keep the railroad to Tientsin open.
1t was with these troops, which as
sert Japan has special economic rights
in North China, that the bridge
guard at Marco Polo clashed.
A unit Of 800 troops of the 29tn
Army, stationed east OF Peiping, was
reported to have been disarmed by
militarized Chinese police Of the East
Hopeh regime. which is friendly to
Japan. japanese troops were said to
have supervised the disarming at
Tungchow.
Eight Chinese were wounded at
Tientsin when bomb exploded in
the japanese quarter. Japanese de-
clared the explosion was accidental.
but tension was increased.
Japanese police started searching
street cars for persons suspected of
anti-Japanese sentiments. Sandbag
and barbed wire barricades were erect
ed around the important areas in the
Japanese concession.

u. s. HOPES WAR
CAN Be AVERTED
ENJOYS in Toxic and peiping
Instructed to Express
Views,
BY the Associated Press.

6oS tAAC 1eoOSAAteO TISSS-
Secretary Hull said today the Amer.
ican Ambassadors in Toxic and Peipins
had been instructed to express the
hope to the Japanese and Chinese pov-
ernments that hostilities would be
avoided in Peiping
The Secretary's statement was made
at his press conference in answer to
questions based on announcement in
London that the British Ambassadors
were taking similar action.
The French Ambassadors to both
countries are understood to be making
similar observations.
Hull explained that the action taken
by the United States was independent
of any action taken by other countries
and was In harmony with the policy
the State Department has followed
since the first outbreak of clashes be-
tween Japanese and Chinese forces in
North China.
1t Is understood, officials said, that
Hull issued the instructions in view
of the fact that approximately 1900
Americans, including the Marine guard
at the American Embassy, are in Peip-
ing and presumably would be endan-
gered by any fighting within the walled
city of the ancient capital
Hull told correspondents the State
Department had been in almost daily
contact with the japanese and Chinese
Ambassadors here and had taken adj
vantage of every opportunity to pro-
mote peaceful settlement.
In answer to question the Secre-
tary said no consideration had yet
been given to invocation of the nine
power treaty, signed by the United
States as well as China and Japan. It
guarantees the sovereignty and terri
torial integrity Of China.
Asked whether the United States
had considered mediation in the dis
pute the Secretary pointed out that it
was requisite in such cases that the
two countries involved in the con-
troversy agree that mediation pro.
vided the solution and made the re-
quest of neutral country to act In
that capacity.

District Committee, who heads the
House conference group, said he is
duty bound to battle in conference for
the cardinal features Of the House tax
bill. These include the gross receipts
tax and the increase in the real estate
and personal property levy from 81 so
to $l70. The Senate substituted for
these two plans the income tax and
the increase of per cent in the pres
ent levy on land values.
Palmisano will be supported by vir-
tually all members Of the House Con-
ference Committee. These include
Representatives. Kennedy of Mary
land and Nichols of Oklahoma, DEM
ocrats, and Dirksen OF Illinois and
Short of Missouri, Republicans. Ken
nedy, Nichols and Dirksen were mem
bers of the special subcommittee Of
the House District Committee, which
framed the original tax program.
Choice Unexplained.
Although it had been assumed that
all six members Of the special subcom-
AAAAsSSS Va lAlC OASGA NC
which framed the original tax pro-
gram, would be named as House con-
fereeS. Speaker Bankhead appointed
only three OF them-Kennedy Nichols
and Dirksen. Representative Cole Re-
publican, OF New York was left of, as
well as Representatives Allen OF Della
ware and McGehee Of Mississippi, both
Democrats. Cole was replaced by Rep
resentative Short, Republican, of Mis-
souri,.
No explanation was given by the
Speaker for his choice of conferees.
It IS known that Chairman Palmisano
recommended Representative RAN
dolph, Democrat, Of West Virginia as
one OF the conferees The Speaker,
however substituted Nichols.
Only one OF the House confereees.
Dirksen, is known to favor the income
tax plan. He fought for its adoption
IN committee as well as on the House
noor. His ballot for it in the Confer
ence Committee would be lost, how
ever. since the House conferees must
vote as a unit.
Senator King also expects a lively
night in conference. but he is confident
the conferees will work out 4 solution
to the perplexing tax problem.
you know" he said, "the House has
twice disapproved an income tax for
the District. I don't believe the
House conferees will give in easily to
the Senate"
City Needs May Be Heard.
The Commissioners may be given an
opportunity to lay before the Confer
ence Committee data to support their
contention it would be unjust to
saddle District property owners with
the burden Of defraying 70 per cent Of
the impending deficit.
Senator King said personally he
would be glad to receive the informa-
ton, but he did not know whether
other members of the committee de-
sired to hear their arguments. He
proposes to let them decide the cues
tion as soon as the conference con-
venes.
