By the Associated Pross. CHICAGO, October 27.—China lacks any government except that of war lords prompted by greed and aggran- dizement, and this fault is rapidly ducing a nation of great potential- ities to impotence and misery, Silas H. awn, American delegate to thai country, told the Association of Com- merce today. awn's address was his first since his return from China after represent- ing the United States at a conference on the Chinese customs tariff and on an international commission on extra- territorial jurisdiction in that country. lle painted a picture of @ country overrun by soldiers and bandits, rid- den by ills attributable not to im- per n, unequal treaties, extrater- ritoriality or lack of tariff autonomy, but to her own inability to form a government with any semblance of stability or authority. Harbors Fourth of Race. Calling attention to China's great area inhabited by a fourth of the people of the earth, he said 97 per cent of the Chinese cannot even write or read.

There are no high- ways and only 8,000 motors. Problem Is Knotty. “He who could prescribe a panacea for the ills of China would be the greatest pathologist the world has seen. One of the great world ques- tions today is what can the other na- tions do to stop the civil war in China so that the frugal, industrious and patient Chinese people may en- joy the fruits of their labor. “The attitude of the United States toward China has always been help- ful and sympathetic. But conditions in China change so rapidly that it would seem impossible for our Gov- ernment to announce in advance any definite policy."

TOLEDO, Ohio, October 27.—Police today uncovered two clues in connec- tion with the clubbing to death of Miss Lily Dale Croy, 26, school teach- er, whose body was found early yes- terday. James A. Harrison, negro, turned over to police an iron bar, which he found on a refuse pile near the scene of the Croy slaying. It was covered with blood and matted hair. The bar was taken to police headquarters for examination to ascertain if hair on it was the same as that of Miss Croy. Officers also are. searching for the driver of a taxicab, who was reported to have picked up a fare near the scene of the clubbing and taken the man to a downtown hotel. The man, according to the report to police, ap- peared to have blood on his coat. $2,600 Rewards Offered. Rewards totaling $2,600 have been offered in the Croy murder. No definite clues had developed early today in the murder of the second woman, Mrs. Mary Alden, found shot to death in her home last night. Police, so far, have been un- able to connect the slaying of Mrs. Alden with the Croy murder. ‘oroner Henzler at a post-mortem mination determined that Miss had been struck at least eight s with a blunt instrument, any one of them suflicient to have caused death. He also found that she had been criminally assaulted. The official remarked upon the re- semblance between the slayings of Miss Croy and of Miss Mary Hand- ley, a few blocks aw the night of January 18 of this year. ‘Will Round Up Defectives. The instruments which caused death were much alike on the striking sur- face, Dr. Henzler said his examina- tion indicated. Chief of Police Jennings has issued a statement asking citizens to “keep cool,” to prevent another wave of hysteria such as swept the city a year ago while a clubber was active. He also ordered members of the de- partment to round up mental defec- tives, such as took place a year ago. ‘Women of Toledo were warned today by Chief of Police Jennings not to invade the dark districts unescorted until police can quiz suspects in the ing.

Spectal Dispatch to The Star. WINCHESTER, Va., October 27.— Turner A. Scrivener and Garner F. Scrivener, father and brother, respec- tively, of Arthur B. Scrivener, the Washington detective sergeant, found mysteriously shot to death in an alley in rear of his rooming apartment in that city recently, qualified late yes- terday in Circuit Court of Frederick County as administrators of the de- tective's estate. They gave bond for $3.000, indleating, according to Vir- ginla laws, an estate worth about half that amount. Serivener was a _native of Rock Enon Springs, Frederick County and had been living in Washington about 16 years.

BUFFALO, October 27—An early transfer of the American merchant marine to private ownership would necessitate the furnishing of some sort of Government aid to the pur- chasers, Chairman T. V. O'Connor of the Shipping Board declared here to- day at the public hearing on the status of the United States com- mercial fleet. Private owners, he continued, must be assisted in order “to overcome the advantages enjoyed by the foreign owner through his long period of training and entrenchment gained during the many years that America was off the ocean.” On a recent trip abroad he was impressed by the fact that France, Germany, England, Holland and Italy are making large money outlays for ships and docks. An appropriation by Italy of $22,000,000 for “feeding the Itallan ships,” he characterized as “the greatest struggle for return to power on the ocean ever made in its history.” “Italy has decided to regain her position on the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas,” Mr. O'Connor said. “Our Great Lakes are the Mediter- ranean and the Adriatic, and then some more, but until all the products, agricultural and manufactured, of the United States are consumed or used by inhabitants of the Western Hemisphere, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are part of our necessities.” A situation such as the British coal strike was given as a reason why “we should not again leave our for- elgn commerce in the hands of for- The rush of foreign ves- sels to carry coal to England was damaging, he sald, because it created a shortage of carriers to handle other American exports, causing commodi- ties to pile up on docks in the South. As a remedy the Shipping Board putfitted additional carriers, so that “up to this day about 100 extra round Lactobacillus Acidophilus Milk A ol Ryt ian hont 1.

Mr. O'Connor predicted that many years would be required to complete transfer of the American merchant fleet to private capital, despite the sale of more than 1,000 Government ships since 1920. He described the cost of Government operation until such a transfer as a distinctive in- vestment, and not a: debit or loss on the Government's books. CRITICIZES SHIP BOARD. Woman Lumber Head Says Efforts to, Collect Claims Proved Futile. CINCINNATI, Ohio, October 27 (#). —Miss Helen C McCabe, president of a large Cincinnati lumber company, criticized the United States Shipping Board for its attitude on clalms, stowage and operating costs at a hear- ing held by commissioners here yes- terday to consider the fate of the American merchant marine. e Miss McCabe declared that her firm had failed repeatedly in attempts to jcollect claims from the board or its agents for damaged or broken ship- ments, although responsibility had been admitted by some of the agents and the claim approved by Shipping Board counsel. She also criticized the stowage of shipments and took sharp exception to statements that the operating costs of the United States Government lines were higher than foreign lines. She praised highly the “promptness and courtesy” of British lines in paying claims. In general, however. the hearing brought reiteration of the opinion that the Nation, as a whole, is strong- ly in favor of maintenance of Ameri- can merchant marine, either by the Government or by private ownership. Yesterday's conference was one of twelve held in as many cities by Com- missioners Teller and Myers during a 22.day trip, taking them twice across the continent.
