Tientsin Americans
Ask Hull Aid Against
japanese Controls
Harsh Trade Restrictions
Scheduled to Go Into
Effect Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TIENTSIN, China, July 15.-The
Tientsin American Chamber OF
Commerce appealed today to Secre-
tary of State Hull for Government
help in opposing trade restric-
tions which the Japanese dominated
Peiping provisional government is
imposing in North China, effective
Monday.
Responsible United States busi-
nessmen predicted that if the re-
strictions are enforced to the full
they will mean the virtual disap-
pearance of American business in
this area.
Protests Result in Delay.
Peiping's new Japanese-inspired
rules consist of complete export
control and exchange regulations
requiring exporters to acquire goods
only with the currency of the Peip-
ing regimes Federal Reserve Bank.
Further they are required to show
that this currency was obtained at
the official rate, about Is United
States cents per yuan, instead of
the prevailing open market rate of
about 10 cents.
Protests of businessmen have OBJ
tanned delay in enforcement in two
lines in which Americans are inter-
ested. American fur dealers, who
last year did a business of about
$4,000 900, are permitted to fulfill
existing contracts at the free market
exchange rate until August II. Ex-
porters of rugs, another important
American interest, obtained SINH
lar delay until September /.
Pessimism in American circles was
increased by word from the Office OF
the American Commercial Attache
in Shanghai that nothing much
could be done about the Peiping re-
strictions until the outcome of the
British-Japanese conference which
opened today in Toxic was known.
Foreign Interests at Stake.
That conference, called to seek a
solution of the dispute in which the
japanese Army has blockaded the
British and French concessions here
since June IA, incidentally incon-
veniencing Americans, is expected to
deal with the future of foreign eco
nomic interests in North China.
Japan is demanding that Britain
cooperate" and accept Japanese
dominated currency in this area.
Export trade from Tientsin to the
United States already has dropped
sharply as result of the Japanese
Chinese war. For 1887 it amounted
to $24 1000 900, but for the first half
of 1899 was only $5,500,000.

Murder Clues Hunted
After Body in River
Is Identified

Had Been Missing Since
May rs, Widow Says

Murder clues were being sought in
North Beach, Md. today by Charles
County authorities after the body
Of the 60-year-old man found in the
Potomac River Wednesday at Mar
shall Hall was identified yesterday as
that of James A. Leonhardt of For
estville, Va.
Identification was made by Mr.
Leonhardt's widow. an invalid, who
said he had been missing since May
Is, when he left their home on a
small farm near Forestville to get
some groceries. She read the de-
scription of her husband in the
newspapers and was taken by Fair
fax County (VaD police to the Hunt
and Ryon undertaking establishment
in Waldorf, Md, where she identi-
fed the body.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Robert ".
Cooksey of Charles County, con-
vinced by post-mortem examina-
ton that death had not resulted
from drowning, was expected to
question friends of the dead man in
North Beach, where it was believed
he might have been staying since
he left home.
The autopsy ordered by Sheriff
Cooksey revealed several cuts on the
victims head and chest. No water
was found in the lungs, leading to
the belief he was dead before the
body entered the water. The head
injuries could not have been suf-
fered accidentally and indicated he
may have been murdered, Sheriff
Cooksey stated.
Mrs. Leonhardt said her husband
had friends in North Beach, but he
had not written to her since his de-
parture. However, she said he had
no enemies so far as she knew. Rob-
berry was not believed to be motive
in the case, as his watch, still run
ming, and about 81 In change were
found in his pockets.
According to relatives, Mr.. Leon
hardt had been unemployed for
several years except for what work
he did on his farm. Mrs. Leonhardt
was unable to explain his disappear
ance, stating he had never been
away except for an occasional visit
lasting few days and that she had
always known where he was.
Funeral arrangements were not
complete yesterday but the rites
probably will be held in Washington

apparent that. while lack of ade-

traffic accidents, the large majority
of child traffic accidents would con-

Schultz 10 Push Fight
For Bill 10 Open
D. T.. MiIkshed
Committee to O. K.
Will Seek to Get
Revised Measure
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Another battle over the District
milk situation appeared inevitable
last night as a result of an an
nouncement by Representative
Schultz, Democrat, of Indiana
that he would make final attempt
tomorrow to get the House District
Committee to approve his revised
bill to open the Washington milk
market to milk and cream pro-
duced in areas beyond the present
local milkshed
The new Schultz bill, similar in
scope to the one the House debated
for four hours about a month ago
and left on its calendar as "un-
finished business" was unable to
move out of the District Committee
last week because of a f1libuster
led by Representative Kennedy,
Democrat. of Maryland.
Mr.. Schultz plans to seek action
on the bill! at the regular meeting
of the committee tomorrow, but
Representative Kennedy will pre-
side in the absence of Chairman
Randolph and will be in an even
better situation to forestall action
on the measure, If he so desires.
Seeks to Avoid Point Of Order.
The only purpose of Mr.. Schultz in
revising his original bill was to pre-
clude any possibility of a point OF
order being raised against it on
the House floor. In its present
form, Mr.. Schultz admits the origi-
nal measure is subject to point OF
order, which, if sustained, would
kill it Immediately. The revised
edition, however, he believes, is
point tot -order proof.
The principal object of the orig
inal and revised bills of Mr.. Schultz
is to substitute the 1889 edition OF
the uniform milk code of the United
States Public Health Service Tor the
1925 District Milk Control Act and
to allow milk and cream from the
Middle and Northwestern States to
be shipped into Washington.
Representative Schultz declared
enactment of his bill would de-
stroy a monopoly that controls the
local milk market and result in an
immediate reduction In the retail
price of milk from IA to IL cents a
quart.
