At a meeting of the* radical lead- ers, the letter says, George Hsu- Chien, minister of justice and prom- v4 inent as a communist, aimed a pistol |. _{; at Mme. Sun Yat Sen, widow of the noted nationalist leader, in an at- tempt to force her to declare adher- ence to the Hankow section of the Kuomintang. Another woman, whose name is not given, knocked the gun from Hisu’s hand’ and slapped his ‘ace. To Argue Case of Bowbells Banker in Supreme Court Arguments will be ‘heard * during the May term of the supreme court in the case of J. G. Johnson, Bow- bells banker, convicted of embezzle- ment and sentenced to a term of from one to five years in the peni- tentiary. The appeal is taken by Johnson from the Ward county district court where the case was tried on a change of venue. Errors of law and of fact are charged in the appeal. The record shows that Johnson was in- ed by a Burke county grand jury in January, 1925, ‘and was found ‘guilty on February 20, 1926. Argument also will be heard dur- ing the May term in the case of Carl Krantz, who is appealing from a judgment of guilty on a second degree rape charge. This appeal also is from Ward county. Krantz charges crrors of law occurring at the trial and that the verdict of the jury was contrary to the evidence. President Defines ’ Foreign Policy| (Continued from page one) degree responsive, leaving the final disposition of the issue a matter for) further consideration by our govern- ment. Devoting most attention to Mexi Mr. Coolidge reiterated that the main problem there was the question of confiscation of property. He said the Washington government feared that Mexico threatening to dis- regard” the principle that “private property should not be taken with-| out fair compensation.” Doubts Arbitration Chance “Everybody favors arbitration when the question at issue is ar- bitrable,” he continued, referring to the senate’s suggestion. “Under the present circumstances I can see grave difficulties in formulating a question which the two governments would agree to submit to such a tribunal, “The principle that pro rty is not! to he confiscated and t! duty of our government to protect it are so well established that it is doubtful if they should be permitted to be questioned. Very likely Mexico would feel that the right to make a con- stitution and pass laws is a pyvil- ege of her sovereignty which ® she é aponld not permit to be brought into juestion. “It has therefore seemed that we are more likely to secure an adjust- ment through negotiation.” No Aggression in China Declaring that the friendship of America for China jis “proverbial,” the president said that no course of aggression is in mind. “We are there to prevent ageres- sion against our people by any of their disorderly elements,” he added. ely the turmoil will quiet id some form of authority will emerge, which will no doubt be prepared to make adequate settle- ment for any wrongs we have suf- fered.” In Nicaragua and “toward the gov- ernments of countries which we have “(recognized this side of the Panama Canal we feel a moral responsibility that does not attach to other tions,” Mr. Coolidge told his audi. ence. Revolutions will be discourag- ed in these countries, he declared, and for that purpose, he said, the United States government had taken a hand in Nicaragu 4 “We are not making war on Nica- Yragua any more than a policeman on the Street is making war on passers- by,” he added, Calling for ‘a “thoroughly Ameri- can” press, the president urged that it avoid rousing anti-foreign senti- ment and refrain from “malicious and partisan attacks on the conduct of our own government in its efforts to defend American rights when they are threatened or invaded in foreign countrie “It is all right to say that when our citizens enter a foreign country that they should do so with the un- d standing that they are to abide by the laws of that country,” he continued. ae, should, and they bs and our rnment would be he last to Interf e in the just a fe lication of the law of his domicile ee our citizens. But this is only a partial statement of the case. The admission of our citizens within their territory is a voluntary act of foreign governments. It is a tacit invitation. When we permit foreigners to come here, and when other countries admit our citizens, we know and they know that such aliens come and go not only under ie rights and duties imposed by ymestic law, but also under the hts and duties imposed by inter- nat jonal law.
