RUSSIANS SEEKING HIGHER DIPLOMACY bhinese Minister Says Sovietl + |Is Sounding Nations on Raising Envoys’ Status. PEKING FIRST TO ACCEPT Only Formalities Remain for Full Acceptance of Karakhan as Ambassador. B5 the Associated Pres PEKING, July China has not yet been fully informed whether other nations will follow the exam- ple of Russia in raising their lega- tion here to the status of embassies the foreign minister, Dr. V. K. Well- ington Koo, told newspaper men of Peking today. The Minister admitted that foreign nations had been sound- ed out regarding the subject, but, as ail had not yet responded, he re- garded it as inexpedient to say Whether any had refused The question of precedence among members of the local diplomatic body raised by Russia’s acceptance of the project for giving her new envoy here the rank of Ambassador was likely to prove interesting, Dr. Koo said, but not unique, similar situa- tions having arisen in other coun- tries. L. M. Karakhan, named as Russia's first Ambassador. who has been here some time carrying on the negotia- tions which resulted in Chinese rec- oknition of the Soviet Government of Russia, is_awaiting the conven- Sence of the President for presenta- tion of his diplomatic credentials.

The Sino-Russian conference to set- fle questions connected with the two countries’ relations not taken care of directly in the recognition agreement %has been postponed to an indefinite date, due to Russia’s delay in naming experts to participate in it. This conference was to have opened July 1. Dr. Koo anticipates little difficulty 1n settlement of the question of turn- ing over to the Soviets the legation building _formerly occupied by the Czarist Russian Ministers in view of | the latest note from the diplomatic «corps here, which has charge of the property. This note asked the of- fices of China in placing the new | Russlan Ambassador in direct con- tact with the diplomats. This service, Dr. Koo indicated, will be performed gladly. Discusses Railway Case. Regarding the Chinese Eastern Railway, the Minister said it never| ‘was China’s intention to Infringe on any legitimate claims, despite the declaration in the Sino-Russian agree- ment that all matters pertaining to the road were for the exclusive con- sideration of China and Russia. He said that the Chinese view was that all such claims would retain their original status. He said he had no knowledge of the merits of the Amer- ican claim against the road, aggre- gating several millions of doliars, but averred the attitude China took to- ward it now was well understood in Washington by virtue of supplemen- tary explanations which had been mad: He declared he saw no reason why claims_against the road should not be preferred as before the signing of the Sino-Russian agreement. CORAL SNAKE POISONOUS. Emall Reptile Declared More Dead- 1y Than Rattler. TUCSON, Ariz., July 19.—The coral snake, so small it is not considered dangerous, has the deadliest poison of any snak the Southwest, Dr. Charles T. Vorhies, head of the department of biology at the University of Arizona, said in a recent lecture here The coral, the annulated snake and ake are the only types of s snakes in this region, Dr. explained. The annulated snake is rarely found, he added, so that people are in little danger of be- ing bitten by any variety except the rattlesnake.

RAIN AGAIN AIDS FIGHT AGAINST FOREST FIRES By the Associated Pres MISSOULA, Mont., July 19.—Cloudy weather, with rain in some places, and cessation of high winds, enabled fire fighters to start work yesterday establishing control lines around fires in national forests of western Montana and northern Idaho. ‘While most of the blazes, which cover more than 1,000 acres, were still burning, few of these were spreading. Heavy rain in the Clearwater forest checked fires there. Two hundred men fighting the dangerous Lost Creek blaze in the Kaniksu forest have checked it to some extent. ..

Assisting Mr. Shaver also will be the former chairman of the national com- mittee. % While his notification will take place in his native town, Mr. Davis has yet to decide where his perma- nent headquarters will be established. He said today this will depend upon what place would.be the most con- venient and where the national com- mittee sets up Its principal estab- lishment. New York Choice Likely. Close friends of the candidate be- licve, however, that the final selec- tion ‘will be New York City, where he has made his home since the ter- mination of his services to the gov- ernment as ambassador to the Court of St. James. Subheadauarters prob- bly will be established at Chicago, with divisional headquarters in con- veniently located cities in the cast, northwest and south Definite plans for carrying the fight to tne country will not be laid down until after the organizason machin- ery has been perfected, but it is fairly well settled that Mr. Davis will make several long speaking tours, beginning probably early in Septem- ber. Assisting the candidate and work- ing independently of him, will be a number of seasoned campaigners, in- cluding Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York, and other state governors, senators, representatives and a num- ber of other chieftains. These cam- paigners will operate in every state under a program which the national organization will work out. In selecting Mr. Shaver as the mar- shal of his field forces Mr. Davis chose a life-long friend and the man who launched his candidacy for his first political office—membership in Congress—and who twice placed his name before national conventions— unsuccessfully in 1920, successfully in 1924, Davis and Shaver served their polit- ical apprenticeship in adjoining coun- ties. In later years Shaver helped to organize the Davis - for - President Home Town Club of Clarksburg and has contributed of his time and energy in a cause near to his heart. His friends declare that his selection as the nominee’s campaign manager therefore, a natural and logical political development. Studied Law Here. Born in Marion County, W. Va., in 1867, Mr. Shaver received his early education in his native state, but studied law at Washington, D. being graduated from George Wash- ington University. - Returning home he hung out his shingle at Fairmont, but the law failed tg hold him. Farming, cattle raising’ and dealing in coal and timber lands claimed most of his time and attention. As he got more and more deeply in politics law hecame distinctly a side line. Except for three terms in the legis- lature Mr. Shaver never held public office. He went to the legislature for two avowed purposes—to help elect Clarence Watson to the United States Senate and to assist in the passage of several laws including a work- men’s compensation act, desired by labor groups.

Mr. Davis thanked the people who had gathered at the station for the in- terest they had shown and said that later he hoped to see more of them. He was given three cheers. Just before the Rockland train. ‘which connects with the morning New York trains at Portland, was put aboard a ferryboat to be transferred across the Kennebec River here, Mr. Davis left the car and shook hands with fifty people who lingered at the station. He then walked down through the freight yards and went aboard the boat. He was greeted by L.

Belittles La Follette. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 19.—0il scandals will play. an insignificant part in the presidential campaign, William M. But- ler, chairman of the Republican na- tional committee, decjared last night. Mr. Butler's opinion was expressed in a statement prior to his departure for Boston for the week end after sev- eral days in New York City establish- ing Eastern headquarters for the cam- paign. He expected to go to Wash- ington next Monday for conferences with President Coolidge and to Chi- cago on Wednesday, to remain for per- haps a week. i “Oil scandals,’ Mr. the question of reporters. ‘I've heard almost nothing of them in connection with this campaign. Of course, there was a great deal in the newspapers last winter, but most of that has blown over. I don't think oil will be the shred of an issue.” Asked how he would combat oil as an issue if the Davis and La Follette forces chose to make it one, Mr. Butler said he would “meet that contingency when and if it arises Chief Ixsues Personal. “The chief issues will be Coolidge and Dawes,” he continued. “Of course, there will be other issues. But they will arise as the campaign progresses. “A campaign of personalities? repeated another question. “Well, hardly that. We must re- member that this is a contest of par- ties—and that these parties have platforms.” It was the first free speaking Mr. Butler had done since he reached this city last Wednesday. Whereas he has painstakingly avoided answering any general questions of reporters in his semi-daily interviews with them, he discarded his reticence to com- ment _guardedly on most topics brought forward. The subject of Senator Wheeler's announcement that he would support the La Follette candidacy and the statement that accompanied it re- ceived little comment, however. Mr. Butler said the statement made little impression on him. Belittlea La Follette Candidacy. Mr. Butler was asked his opinion of a statement attributed to Isadore Dockweiler, Democratic national com- mitteeman from California, that many Western Republicans would switch to John W. Davis, under the impression that the Democratic nominee was most likely to command sufficient votes to hold down La Follette and keep the election out of Congress. Mr. Butler's reply was: “It's a warm scason, and every once in a while some one is bound to ex- press himself in a fervid manner.” Butler repeated he Engineers. T e 1319 N. Y. Ave. e:3 —_— Then he laughed. “I think the La Follette candidacy s vastly overrat- ed,” he added. Choice of a director for the Eastern headquarters of the G. O. P. has not been made, despite Mr. Butler's state- ment throughout the week that he hoped to announce the name of the man last night. It had been definite- ly decided, however, that Charles D. Hilles of New York, vice chairman of the national committee, would not be the Eastern director because he would be unable to devote his whole time to it. But whoever is chosen for the post Mr. Hillés will pass considerable time at the headquarters maintain- ing a general supervision of the cam- paign, said Mr. Butler. Several names are under considera- tion for the directorsnip. Mr. Butler's statement that “it would not neces- sarily go to a national committee- man was interpreted as an indication that this long-established custom might be abandoned by the Repub- licans for the 1924 campaign. 3 LIQUOR FIRM DISSOLVES.
