Treasury Character and Earning Power Are the Basis of Credit” Do You Realize the Importance of Getting the Right Shoes AMERICAN BLAMES SHANGHAI POLICE Justice Johnson Holds Their Laxity as Contributing to Disorders. By the Associated Press. PEKING, China, December 23.—The conclusions of Justice Elias F. John- son, resulting from the inquiry into the shooting affair at Shanghai on May 30 las were made public in summarized form today by the dean of the diplomatic corps. Justice Johnson, a member of the bench of the Philippine Islands, was the American member and presiding officer of the international commis- slon charged with investigating the disorders in Shanghal which began with a strike demonstration and cul- minated in the killing of a number of Chinese. Justice Johnson arraigns the police authorities for failure to appreciate the gravity of the situation or to take timely precautions. He charges the forelgners in Shanghal with failure to take into account the principles of liberty and independence which they themselves have spread in China and recommends various reforms of the Shanghal administration. Other Members Disagree. ‘The British and Japanese members of the investigating commission, on the other hand, find no laxity in the police precautions and consider that no other course was available than the one pursued. Justice Johnson finds that Police Inspector E. W. Everson of Shanghal, owing to his numerous duties, falled to realize the temper of the crowd, and at the moment of firing acted in accordance with mobilization instruc- tlons, realizing the consequences of his fatlure to do so. Police Commissioner K. G. McEuen, in spite of full information as to the conditions obtaining during the pre- ceding months as well as the im- mediate menace of an anti-Japanese demonstration, left the city for 3 hours, Justice Johnson declares, and even on his return failed to infotm himself as to the conditions. The American commissioner finds no has®s for justification of this absence which can be harmonized with the police commissioner's reeponsibility, whereas his presence might have saved the lives of innocent persons.
