Fighting With Chi
nese Spreads Over
a Wide Area

Tientsin, Tuesday, Aug. 3.-U.R)
- Russia was drawn into the
North China crisis today when
Moscow ordered its embassy in
Tokyo to protest strongly to the
Japanese government against a
raid on the Soviet consulate gen.
eral here during which the build
ing was wrecked and the consul
lar archives confiscated.
Demands Satisfaction
Moscow asserted the Imperial
Japanese government was reSpon-
sib.e for the raid and demanded
satisfaction" including arrest of
the raiders, return of the seized
consular records, and compenSa-
tion.
The protest followed similar ac-
ton by Russian Ambassador Dmi-
tri Bogomoloff in Nanking who
told the Japanese charge d'affaires
there that the Japanese army con-
nived in the raid.
Russians feared all Soviet in
stitutions in North China were to
be closed by the Japanese in line
with their program of eradicating
all Soviet and Communist influ-
ences from areas under their con-
troll.
Hope for Intervention
Chinese hoped the incident
might lead to Russian military

CREDIT UNION
SHUNS CURB

Exemption Of credit unions from
the provisions of the Allen small
loan bill was requested today by
the District of Columbia Fedora
ton of Federal Employees Unions
in letter to Representative Mary
T. Norton CD of New Jersey,
chairman of the House District
Committee.
The organization pointed out
that the measure introduced by
Representative william Allen CD
of Delaware exempts national
banks, licensed brokers, trust COM
panies, savings banks, building and
loan associations and real estate
brokers.
Credit unions, it was pointed
out, are corporations licensed by
the District Commissioners or the
governor of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration, making loans only to
members at the rate of / per cent
per month on unpaid balances.

CHANGE IS DUE
IN MILDLY BILL

A drastic change In the bill pro-
posing to increase the number OF
District appointments to the
Naval Academy at Annapolis will
be sought when the bill is brought
up on the floor for consideration
in the Senate at the next call OF
the calendar, it was revealed to-
day.
The bill proposes to change the
law so that IS appointments can
be made from the District instead
of five now carried. In event this
bill does pass, however. the actual
number will be raised to IL.
This discrepancy arises from
the fact that the Appropriations
Committee only allows money for
four appointments at the present
time for each member of Congress
and the number for the District
will be governed accordingly.
The change suggested in the bill
is to eliminate the residence re-
quirement. AS the bill was re-
ported by the Senate Naval Al
fairs Committee and drafted by
Senator David 1. Walsh CD,
Massachusetts, chairman Of the
committee. appointees would be
required to have had five years Of
residence in the District before
they would be eligible.
In a letter sent to Senator Will
liam H. King CD. Utah, the Dis
trict Commissioners state that
they approve the general purpose
of the bill but that they do not
favor this residence requirement
clause.

CONCERTS CUT
BY SYMPHONY

Failure of the National SYM
phony Orchestra Association to
raise $4,000 during the recent
campaign for funds will necessi-
tate suspension of outdoor con-
certs this summer, according to
Corcoran Thorn, president of the
association.
Only $4,000 was raised in the
drive, Thorn said, and this money
will be used exclusively for the
orchestra'S expenses during the
regular winter season. The sum-
mer concerts became a regular
feature of the orcheStra's activi-
ties in 1885 when they were first
introduced by Director Hans
Kinder.
Five members of the Associa-
TONS board of directors, whose
terms expired yesterday, were re-
elected by unanimous vote. They
were Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss,
Mrs. Eugene Byrnes, Mrs. Reeve
Lewis, Mrs. Edwin B. Parker, and

LYNCH BILL
vNu
IN SENATE
International News Service

International News Service
The bitter sectional fight on the
Gavagan anti -lynching bill
shifted to the Senate today where
Southern members, joined by the
veteran Senator Borah R0 of
Idaho, were expected to contest its
enactment.
The measure, subject of a vitu-
perative House scrap for nearly
month, was passed by the lower
body last night, 279 to 119, after a
stormy session. It was the first
time in 15-years that the House
had approved anti-lynching legis-
lation.
AS in thu House where Admins
tration leaders opposed the bill,
Senate leaders, most of them
Southern Democrats, prepared to
block the measure. Senator Borah,
who has fought anti-lynching legis-
lation for years, uttered the warn.
ing that the bill is unjust, uncon-
oOIbuGIUua1 anu uIlIklOId1.
Senator Wagner CD of New
York, has announced he would
sponsor the bill.
Supported by Speaker Bank
head and Majority Leader Ray
burn, Representative Summers CD
of Texas, chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee, led the fight
of the powerful southern bloc in
the lower chamber against the bill.
The members from below the
MaSon-Dixon line argued that the
measure was an invasion OF States
rights and would "complicate' the
treatment Of the racial problem.
Representative Mitchell CD of
Illinois. only negro member of
Congress, hailed the House action,
but declined to predict what the
Senate would do. Borah said:
"ThiS measure takes no
account of the nature Of the
problem with which the people
in the States have to deal. This
measure is put forth to place a
stigma of condemnation upon
all State efforts and brands the
people in the States as wilfully
neglecting their duty"
The bill, sponsored in the House
by Representative Gavagan CD
of New York, would permit the
Federal Government to prosecute
lyncherS when local authorities
failed to do so. It also would
penalize local officers who,
through negligence or malfeasance,
permitted a mob to take a lynch
victim from their custody.

BULLS HOPEFUL
RISE is BEGUN

NEW YORK, Aug. Is Q.N.SJ.
Wall Street bulls are hopeful that
the start of the long delayed
August rise is under way.
Aside from the fact that the
industrials forged ahead to an
other new four-month peak with
a gain Of nearly a point, the most
encouraging feature of yesterdays
session was the robust recovery
in rail shares, which chalked up
an advance of 81 cents to their
best level in many weeks. Utilities
gained only cents.
Turnover of 100000 shares was
the largest total in a week.
Radio Corporation again was
way ahead of the field in point
of activity.
Low priced amusement shares
also were taken in hand, with
Paramount adio-Keith and War
ner Pictures in the days most
active category.
Among the old-line industrial
favorites, Westinghouse, U. S.
Steel, Bethlehem, International
Harvester, and Standard Oil OF
New Jersey we're able to chalk up
fair.Sized advances.

pace-setter with a run-up of

STEEL, IRON DUE
EARNINGS Gain

Good earnings gains within the
steel and iron industry are in
prospect for the full current year,
according to Poor's Stock Reports.
During the first six months of
1887, earnings of 20 companies
rose 2o2 per cent over the like
1886 interval, despite strikes dur
ing the second quarter. While the
increase in the second quarter was
less marked. it still exceeded 100
per cent.
Indications are that the peak
of labor troubles has been passed
for the short term" states the
report. mo serious troubles are
anticipated before fall. July
operations in the industry main
tanned a favorable level. Steel
ingot production for the month
averaged 80 per cent of capacity
as compared with 76 per cent
in June, and 10 per cent in July
a year ago. The contraSeasonal
July improvement reflected the
resumption Of work at the plants
affected by the strike"
