— OPPONENTS BLOCK FINAL RADIO VOTE Conference Report Is Due for Action in Senate Tomor- row in Two Hours. By the Associated Prese. A move to force the radio control bill back to conference enabled Senate opponents of the legislation to pre- vent a final vote yesterday on the conference report which already has been agreed to by the House. The bill went over until tomorrow after several hours of debate, with those in charge of it expressing the hope that an agreement could be had then for a time for a final vote. Chatrman McNary of the agricul- ture committee, who had temporarily 1ajd aside the McNary-Haugen farm bill for debate on radio control, served notice that unless the legislation could be gotten out of the way in two hours tomorrow, he would insist that action on it be deferred until after the farm relief measure has been voted “P pittman Makes Move. The motion to send the radio bill back to conference was made by Sen- ator Pittman, Democrat, Nevada, and included a provision for the instruc- ton of the Senate conferees to insist upon provisions limiting the jife of the legislation to one year from February 15, and requiring a waiver from each licensee to any claim to or any right in any wave length or the use of the ether in radio transmission because of a previous license for their Vome opponents said the bill would be sent back to conference, but Sena- tor Dill, Democrat. Washington, in charge of the measure, asserted that the conference report would be ac cepted. Urges Legislative Caution. Pittman and other Senators in oppo- sition declared the bill was imperfect in many particulars; did not adequate- Iy safeguard the Government and the public, and should not be enacted as permanent legislation, because radio still was in an experimental stage, and Cor should feel its way in seeking to control it.

But the approval of the bill by the President would be construed as an effort to appease the farm vote of the West. The $250.. 000,000 revolving fund, set up by th Government under the terms of th bill will be called the price of pleasing the farmer. The activities of former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois and Vice President Dawes in favor of the proposed legislation, will be credited with having forced the hand of the President. There is a tempting side, however, to the matter. It may be argued that the McNary bill has been materially changed, and so made acceptable to the President.. Furthermore, the President would be in a position to say that he had walited for three years upon Congress to enact farm relief legislation, and that no substitute for the McNary-Haugen bill had been forthcoming. It was that or no legis- lation. And the farmers had stren- uously appealed for this bill. Would Remove Farm Issue. if the McNary-Haugen bill becomes & law at the present session of Con- gress it removes the farm issue as such from the campaign of 1928. A mew farm issue codld not spring up in time to affect the preconvention campaign or the campaign for the general election. So extensive is the machinery of the law and so certain is it that it would be tested in the courts as to its constitutionality, that it is hardly possible that operations under the bill could go beyond the first stages next year. KEven if it did not work, President Coolidge could pass the buck to the farm leaders and Senators and Representatives who insisted upon its enactment into law. Under its provisions, moreover, are great possibilities for a smooth running farm machine. One feature of the situation may help to block the passage of the bill. Neither the Democrats nor the sup- porters of Lowden for President are anxious to see the farm question re- moved from the 1928 campaign. The Democrats see the strife between the Republicans of the West and the Re- publicat of the East over farm legislation as their own best bet. If the farm problem is shelved, even temporarily, Mr. Lowden's boom for President collapses. Offsetting the patent political ad- vantages to be had in thus ending the farm issue for the time being are some liabilities. the President's cabinet have been outspoken in their disapproval of the McNary-Haygen farm relief plan. They are Secretary Mellon of the Treasury, Secretary Hoover of the Department of Commerce and Secre- tary Jardine of the Department of Agriculture. Where are these cab- :l;l!t gfi\lrer.l left, it the President signs e bill? Other Political Factors. The President must consider also how much his hold on the conserva- tive and industrial East will be shaken if the Dbill becomes law with his signa- ture. ‘There are shrewd politicians here who believe that he would gain more by vetoing the bill, on the ground that the vote of ‘the big States of the East will settle the nomination in conjunction with the vote of the South and that the West cannot possibly name a presidential candidate alone. If the President should veto the bill he will become at once the target of the supporters of the McNary- Haugen bill. They will shoot at him divectly. The corn belt would be on his trail. The personal issue would be raised. The very silence of the White House regarding the McNary bill is indica- tive of the serlousness with which the decision the President may have to make is regarded there. If the farmers of the West and the South accept and welcome the Mc- Nary-Haugen bill they will have com- mitted themselves to the theory of Three members of £ R. Strunk. Invitation and reception C.

FENG_WU=HSANG The above map illustrates the di viston of China today. The shaded portion in the south is controlled by a young idealist, Gen. Chiang Kal- shek. He wants Chine to be a repub- lic, untrammeled by forelgn super- vision and relleved of what he believes to be the malign influence of the war lords. He 1s aided by the Christian general, Feng Yu-hsiang, who is train- ing an army In the northwe: cated by the detached shaded area. Opposed to the Cantonese are the old, reactionary, militaristic provincial overnors, Sun Chuanfang. Chang Tsolin and Wu Pel-fu. Their names Ll = < GEM. CHANG T50-L1N 2 > PEKING® are shown on the map approximately in the districts which they control. They are not co-operating with eaoh otheér whole heartedly. They have selfish ends in view. If one of them could crush the Cantonese force um- aided he undoubtedly would try to set himself up as an emperor. They have said repeatedly that they are in favor of allowing foreigners to remain ip China and are fervently against any co-operation with Soviet Russia. The Cantonese have been labeled “red.”” They are said to be under the influence of Moscow. That, however, is not the exact truth. The advice of Russian officers has been heeded in all military movements. The Cantonese propaganda is handled by Russians and their ammunition and supplies come from Russia. Gen. Chiang Kal- shek is not a Communist, nor is he a advocate of a soviet form of govern- ment. He has fought his way from Canton to the Yangtze River and has established his new capital at Han- kow, proclaiming only bis desire to see China formed into a united re public. The anti-forelgnism is largely the product of the Russian-controlied propaganda department. A decisive battle is expected soon between Gen. Chiang Kal-shek and Gen. Sun Chuan-fang at a point due south of Shanghai where the shaded portion of the map ends. LLOYD GEORGE WARNS Former Premier Hopes British Will Not Land Troops at Shanghai.

Alluding to the fact that the move- ment of British troops to China has interferred with negotlations between the British government and the Cantonese government at Hankow Mr. Lloyd George said: “The sinister fact was that it was a_ premature movement of troops in 1914 that brought negotiations to an end and projected the great war. We must see that the same thing does not happen again.” The Liberal leader expressed the hope that the government would give heed to the suggestion, made in a spirit not of critisiem but helpfulness, that troops should not be landed at Shanghai, but retained at Hongkong or elsewhere within easy reach of Shanghal in case of trouble.

Yesterday's cabinet parleys brought no change in the British policy with regard to holding the troops at Hong- kong, although this action remains at the forefront of possibilities. Ex- changes of views between the British government and its diplomatic repre- sentatives at Hankow, Shanghai and Peking are proceeding continuously, and when Parliament opens Tuesday Sir Austen Chamberlain, the foreign secretary, will take the earliest op- portunity of presenting the whole problem to the Commons and the country. In the meantime the British gov- ernment rests on the broad lines of its two-fold policy—conciliation of legiti- mate nationalist ambitions on the part of the Chinese and the defense of British rights and property. The view held here is that only one thing is .| certpin about the Chinese situation— it is bound to change from day to day.

SUN YAT SEN IS CHANGED FROM GEORGIA COLLEGE DAYS Erstwhile Retiring Maid Is Now in Van of Cantonese Army in American- Made Sedan. ciated Press. Ga., February 5.—Mrs. Sun Yat Sen, riding in her American- made sedan with the advance forces of the Cantonese army in China, pre- sents a decided contrast to her modest, retired conduct while at Wesleyan College in this city, where she re- ceved ‘her education before returning to China to become the bride of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, then President of the southern Chinese republic. Bishop W. N. Ainsworth of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, just back from a_tour of the Orient, where he was assigned by the College of Bishops of his church, observed the contrast, for he was president of Wes- leyan College when she was a student in the institution. She Detested Cosmetics. To Wesleyan girls Mrs. Sun Yat Sen is still remembered and referred to as Chung Ling Soong. She was one of three sisters of the same prominent Chincse family who sought their edu- cation in this country. Although Chung Ling never sought society, her schoolmaster said the other two were more Americanized. Chung Ling de- tested paint and powder, and once when 11l refused to let a doctor come to her room while her face was un- covered. Her sisters were constantly criticizing her wearing apparel. Mrs. Florrie White, matron of the college, said that “there was far more to Chung Ling than either of the others. She did not leave the college often and spent hours at a time in her room.” The Chinese girl once told a school- mate that she had no trouble with her studies with the exception of mathe- matics. ‘I have to figure it out in Chinese first.” she is sald to have explained. Product of Christianity. The father of the three girls was a product of Christianity and attended Vanderbilt University at Nashville. Chung Ling came very near not being graduated as a result of her Chinese upbringing. On the night of her last appearance in college her cap and gown had not arrived. Mra. White, to console the heart-broken girl, offered her the robe of her son. “What!" demanded the girl. “Lady graduate in man’s gown?"” She finally was persuaded that it was not sinful and took her diploma from the Wesleyan stage in the robe of Goodrich C. White, now dean of Emory University. It is told here that when she board- ed ship in San Francisco in 1913, a son of Dr. Sun Yat Sen escorted her aboard.

He made reserva- tions, however, on certain points in which the Interests of the two coun- tries do not exactly coincide. While the substance of the Italian note is generally known to be along the lines of Great PBritain's desires, the text is not yet available. Suffi- clent is known, however, to make it certain that Italy stands with Eng- land on the chief points at issue. Mussolini's move is considered by those familiar with conditions an able one, since it came at a moment when England seemed almost entirely iso- lated. Thus the support of Italy rep- resents an important psychological factor, which may have the effect of inducing other powers to imitate her. Police Measures Planned. For the present it is understood that the intention of Great Britain and Italy is merely to carry on police measures for the protection of their subjects and interests, leaving the initiative and responsibility for grav- er steps to the Chinese. Nevertheles: some of the newspapers show a bel cose disposition. The Impero, for in- stance, says: “England chose the right argu- ment—namely, cannon. Italy must imitate her, this being the only way to suppress Chinese anarchy and brigandage masked as nationalism.” DIVISION OF CHINA SEEN. NEW YORK, February 5 (#).—The division of China into two or more nations will be effected eventually, in the opinion of Prof. J. O. Beaty of the University of Virginia, traveling fel- low of the Kahn Foundation, whose report today on the Oriental situa- tion was received by the foundation. “Obeervers are of the opinion that a satisfactory outcome is not to be expected soon,” Prof. Beaty wrote. Of the present rival governments, observers believe that the Cantonese, “with its vagaries and possible foreign inspiration,” has today the greater vitality, he said. Hope Seen in Situation. ST. LOUIS, February 5 (#).—The present political situation in China is “grave in the extreme, but not with- out hope for better conditions in the future,” says a report made here to- day by Dr. Stephen J. Corey, head of the department of forelgn missions of the United Christian Missionary So- clety of the Disciples of Christ. The report states that the church's missionaries are safe at present, but “it may be that all mission work will be interfered with and have to cease for some time, as was the case after the Boxer uprising. 711 Thirteenth St. Where Menu and MusicHill Enchant You Dinner Dancing, $1.50 Dance to Borguno's Band ‘Any Night From 7 Untll 2 Couvert L’A.?“‘.

Without placing a single witness for defense on the stand, Bertrand Emerson, jr., counsel for Policeman Carl Ramstadt of the tenth precinct, charged with accepting a bribe, closed the hearing before the police trial board yesterday with an appeal to exonerate the policeman on the ground that a case had not been made out agalnst him, since it was not proved he was at the scene of the alleged transaction. Ramstadt was accused of accepting $42 from Brutus Lane and Major Tay- lor, both colored, after discovering them on Rhode Island avenue norths east, near Fourth street, in an auto- mobile with 12 cases of alleged liquor. He was arrested, according to police, in the Newton Garage, at Sixth and Newton streets, after information had come to the eighth precinct, of which Sergt. W. C. Balderson was in com- mand at the time, that a bribery trans- action was under way. Confession Charged. Lieut. William G. Stott testifled that Ramstadt, after being taken to the eighth precinct shortly after midnight July 21, had at first denied and later admitted part in accepting $42 hush money from the two colored men. Un- der crossexamination by Mr. Emer- son, however, it was elicited from this witness that he had ordered Mrs. Ram- stadt, who was with her husband at the time of his arrest, sent to the house of detention before Ramstadt made a statement admitting accepting the money and later signed a written statement to the same effect. Other witnesses for the Government ALEK ROPERTY BL I CHANGED Measure, With 11 Committee Amendments, Is Reported to Senate. After making 11 amendments to the House measure, the Senate finance committee yesterday reported to the Senate a revised bill for the return of alien property and a method of set- tling clalms growing out of the war between Germany and the United States and claims between individuals of the two countries. The House bill provided for the re turn of 80 per cent of the property of German nationals held by the alien property custodian and the temporary retention of the remaining 20 per cent and its application to the pay ment of the claims of American cit izens. In order that the American claimants may be pald 80 per cent of their awards within two years after the bill becomes law, the Senate committee provides for the temporary retention of 40 per cent of the alien property. The House bill provided that the private claims of American and Ge:- man nationals should be paid in full before claims of the United States Government, aggregating $60,000,000, were paid. The bill as reported to the Senate provided that the United States will share with the private claimant after the private claimant has recelved his specified 80 per cent payment. The Senate committee recommends an extension of time for the filing of claims provided Germany does the same. In submitting the report to the Sen- ate, Chairman Smoot of the financ committee gave his colleagues a de- talled explanation of the various com- mittee amendments to assist them in including Lieut. Hugh R. Groves, night inspector; Sergt. Balderson, Pvt. Fred- erick Schenck, Pyt. Robert L. Jones and Pvt. William McEwen. Statements Assailed. At the close of their testimony Emerson and Joseph D. Kelly, asso- clate counsel, urged that the testi- mony affecting the statements made by Ramstadt be disregarded because such statements were involuntary and made under the fear that unless so made his wife would be locked up. Emerson pointed out that Ram- stadt was the holder of a distinguished service cross for herolsm during the World War. Lane and Taylor, who are alleged to have pald the bribe, and who ac- cording to police, had dispatched a messenger for additional money for which Ramstadt was alleged to be waiting at the time of his arrest, had on a previous appearance before the trial board refused to testify on con- stitutional grounds. They were ar- rested and liquor seized by the police at the same time Ramstadt was taken into custody. The failure to obtain testimony that Ramstadt was af the scene of the alleged bribing, other than statements attributed to him, was fatal, it was claimed in argu- ment by counsel to the prosecution’s The trial board took the matter under advisement and will announce a decision in a few days.
