WIFE OF BORODIN REPORTED SEIZED Rumored Taken From Soviet Steamer Captured by Shantung Troops. By the Associated Prest SHANGHATI, March §5.—Miie. din, wife of Michael Borodin. adviser 10 'the Canton government, it is rumored_here, was aboard the Soviet steamer Pamiat Lenina, whose seizure ~ hy Shantung troops on Saturday Was the subject of a note from the Rus- sian embassy at Peking to the Chinese| foreign office. It s reported from sources at Nanking that Mme. din was escorted to Tsinan-Iu Shantung troops. In its note to the Peking govern- ment, the Soviet embassy demanded immediate relewse of ihe vessel and its crew and passengers. The embassy declared the Chinese government would be held responsible for their safety. London newspaper attacks against Borodin on the charges that, as a Bol- shevist, he was responsible for the at- titude of the Cantonese before the re- cent agrement was signed With the RBritish at Hankow, evoked denlals that he was connected with the soviet government. It was said he was in- vited vears ago to act as adviser to the Canton government . PINCERS MANEUVER BRINGS SHANGHAI'S Boro- Japanese | Boro iated Press YORK, March 8.-—Mrs. Julia Curtiss Lawrence, known as “the most extravagant woman in the country,” who died at her home here March 1, left an estate estimated at more than $1,200,000, attornevs who filed her will said yesterday.

He declared the question to be per tinent and that it relates to the duties imposed upon the Senate committee by the resolution under which it was sitting. * Wrangling Continues. He assumed, for the sake of arzu-| ment, he said, that there was a loan in the case, and this drew fire from Hoover, who contended he could not assumge that in the presence of th jury.

You cannot g0 home until you come across.” Agrees On Smaller Sum. The general discussed the matter for some hours with his guests, finally compromising at about half of what he had first demanded, which his guests could pay, as Wuhu is the home of China’s biggest egg men. However, the important news from Wuhu is not the banquet, but the fact that a majority of the revolting troops which suddenly turned nationalist are Shantung men. Their conversion in- dicates that southern propaganda is spreading among the recently arrived northern soldiers. Immediately after the defection of the Wuhu forces, the red flag of com- munism was hoisted over St. James’ High School and the Sisters’ School (Episcopal), and the Wuhu Academy. Students lowgred the Chinese flag over the customs house, but met résistance when they tried to hoist the red em- blem. Some Troops Loyal. Gen. Chen's men suffered some re- verses at Taiping, near Nanking, after their defection. Evidently some Shan- tung men remained loyal., News from Canton shows the trend of Chinese sentiment against “Red Russian supremacy” in the southern metropolis. Not only the right wing of the Kuomintang (Cantonese or Na- tionalist party), but the middle, with ions of the left wing, feel the time coming to cast off the Soviet crowd. Nevertheless, they do not appear to have yet worked their courage up to the striking point, but are restrained by a sense of obligation to the Soviefs for benefits received, also by fear of consequences. The Chinese sense of politeness #nd kindliness shows itself in the way that Sun Chuan-Fang is being allowed to step aside gracefully. Among some of the western races this unhappy general, who, only a few months ago, commanded millions of people and vast wealth, but who ie now defeated, would be told perenptor- fly, to “get outa-here.” Not so in Chi- na. Sun’s subordinates are not kicked out, but are being given new jobs in unimportant places. Li Pao-Chang, who decapitated scores of Chjnese agi- tators in Shanghai a few weeks ago, has been sent to Tungchow, on the other side of the Yangtze, as if he had been promoted. Foreigners Are Warned. Thus the process of eliminating the whole Sun Chuan-Fang group goes on. The British defense lines outside the international settlement boun- daries are by no means sufficient to protect all foreigners living a sub- urban life at Shanghai. Large num- bers, perhaps hundreds, inhabit homes beyond the railway that marks the limit of the British “aggression.” Among these foreigners is a handful of Americans. All such have been notified that the municipal police can- not protect them if large bodies of unfriendly, disorganized soldiers ar- rive. Foreigners here are regarding favor- ably the Japanese way of garrisoning troops on individual properties in ex- posed areas, instead of attempting to hold long lines, although the Japanese are guarding a portion of the north boundary of the settlement. 5,000 QUAKE DEAD AND INJURED MAY BE TOLL IN JAPAN (Continue st_Page.) ords of Clark’s Tours, ranged the California’s itinerary address is given as Ventnor, N.

Littleton replied by stating that what Pomerene had referred to had no bearing on the matter hefore the Court, which was, he said, the ad- missability of the Fall letter. After further wrangling among counsel, in which both sides frequent- Iy talked at once, Justice Hitz sus- tained the objection and excused the jury until the afternoon session. It was then thaf Adams sought to make his inquiry. 3 Gordon Outlines Case. M Gordon outlined the Govern- ment’'s case against Sinclair to the jury in substance, as follows: The defendant Sinclair is charged in the indictment with violation of section 102, Revised Statutes of the United States, which provides that every person having been summoned as a witness to give evidence or pro- duce papers under authority of either house of Congress, or any of its com- mittees, who defaults of, having ap- peared, refuses to answer any ques- tions pertinent to the matter under inquiry, shall be guilty of a misde- meanor. The defendant was summoned as a witness before the Senate committee on public lands; he appeared, was sworn, agaln was summoned and ap- peared and was sworn, and questions were propounded to him relative to the matter under inquiry and perti- nent thereto. He refused to answer, not on the ground that it would in- criminate him. Plor to 1912, there was a large area of public land opened to entry and settlement and lease. It was known as ofl petroleum land. In 1912, Presi- dent Teft, by executive order, with- drew from the public domain the petroleum lands in California and set them aside for the sole use of the Navy and established them as Naval Reserves Nos. 1 and 2. « Wyoming Lands Withdrawn. On April 30, 1915, President Wilson withdrew public lands in Wyoming and directed they be set aside and held for the use of the Navy. These of] reserves remained intact until 1920, when on February 25 an act of Con- gress known as the leasing act au- thorized the giving of leases on certain portions »to persons having pending claims under the placer mining act. On June 4, 1920, there was attached to an eppropriation act authority for the Secretary of the Navy to take jon of the petroleum reserves upon which there were no pending leases and to begin development by contracts or otherwise. ‘President Harding May 31, 1921, by executive order, transferred from the Becretary of the Navy to the Secre- tary of the Interior administration of the petroleum reserves. The Govern- ment will show by a lease of April 7, 1922, whereby BSecretary Albert B. Fall of the Interior Department and Seeretary Edwin Denby of the Navy purposed to lease to the Mammoth Ofl Co., of which the defendant Sin- clair is president, all of the land de- scribed by President Wilson in the executive order of 1915. Refers to Léases. * At this point Maj. Gordon referred to the dates of several leases and con- tracts between the Government ahd the Mammoth Ofl Co. and between the Government and the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport Co. of New York and the Pan-American Pe- troleum Co: of California, the two lat- ter both interests of Edward L. Doheny. Shortly after the execution of the April 7 lease and another on April 27, those matters came to the attention of the Senate and it was represented that these lonses were entered into in bad faith and with fraud. Maj. Gor- don referred to various Senate reso- lutions adopted, calling on the Sec- retary of the Interlor for information about the leases of reserves Nos. 1 and 2 in California and No. 3 in Wyoming. known as Teapot Dome, and also established hearings on the subject by the public lands com- mittee. The defendant Sinclair was _sum- moned to appear before the Senate public lands committee. He did ap- pear on several occasions, was swor and gave testimony. On March 2 1974, he was subpoenaed. appeared and when certain questions were asked him he refused to answer.

This question was asked by Senator Walsh: “Since you were on the stand last, Mr. John €.

Will you tell us about that?' Again he refused to answer, sald Maj. Gor- lon. Senator Walsh then asked this ques- | tion: “Mr. Sinclair, will you tell the | committee where and when you met | Secretary Fall during the months of Novembher and December last?”’ The | defendant refused to answer, said the | Pprosecutor. ! This question followed by Senator Walsh: “The committee is still desir- ous, Mr. Sinclair, of examining the books of the Hyva Corporation. Are | you prepared to produce those books?"" | The defendant again refused to an-| swer, Maj. Gordon said. Question by Adams. ! The last question, asked nator | Adams of Colorado, was: “Mr. Sinclair, I believe in an earlier hearing you tes- | tified in answer to a question that you | had in ‘no way, and none of vour | companies had in any way, given or | loaned anything to Secretary Fall. Ts| that correct?” “And the defendant de- clined to answer, Maj. Gordon said. ! “We will state to you,” concluded Maj. Gordon's opening statement, | “that we shall establish these facts before you and that the questions asked were material and that if we prove this to you we shall ask you | to find the defendant guilty as in-| dicted.” George P. Hoover, of counsel for | Sinclair, reserved the defendant's | opening statement, and Maj. Gordon | called George W. Holland of the In-| terfor Department as the first Gov- | ernment witness to produce the vari- | ous documents referred to in the opening statement. Martin W. Littleton, of defense counesel, told the court the defendant makes no point about the leases or | contracts or any documentary evi- dence referred to by Maj. Gordon and agreed to those in order to save time. Maj. Gordon then took from the witness the contracts and leases and read them to the jury. Following Holland, these witnesses took the stand and presented docu- ments and subpoenas, which were read to the jury: Stephen H. Quigley of the State Department, John Shut- tack of the State Department, Ernest Hill, clerk of the public lands com- mittee, and J. J. McGrain, deputy | sergeant-at-arms of the Senate. Both sides stipulated as to the accuracy of 3,072 pages of printed testimony taken during the Senate committee hearings as a means of facilitating the trial. MAN HEAVILY ATTIRED.

'he decision of the United States Supreme Court yesterday ruling that judges and judicial officers in inferior courts are not qualfied to try cases in accordance with “due process of law” when they have a financial in- terest in the outcome of the case will have no effect upon the lower court procedure in nearby Maryland and Virginia, according to the opinions ex- pressed today by officials and attor- neys of neighboring counties. According to the ruling of the su- preme tribunal in deciding an Ohio @ unanimously vesterday, a con- tion by a judge whese interest in a case s pecuniary is unconstitu- tional as violative of the Kourteenth Amendment. In his opinion Chief Justice Taft said that “every proced- ure which would offer a possible temp- tation to the average man as a judge to forget the burden of proof re- quired to convict the defendant or which might lead him not to hold the balance, nice, clear and true between the State and the accused denies the latter due process of law.” Paid Either Way. |1t was pointed out by the Maryland officials and attorneys that magis- trates sitting in courts acting on speeding cases and similar offenses receive compensation whether the de- fendant is acquitted or convicted, so that the judicial officer has no pecu- niary interest In the case whichever way the decision is made. Briefly, the Supreme Court holding is_explained to mean that a system hereby a judge is paid for his sery- ices oply when he convicts the de- fendant has not become so embedded by custom in general practice either at common law or in this country that it can be regarded as due process of law, unless the costs imposed are so small that they can be ignored as too trivial for the law to take up its time in considering. prem Court arose in Hamilton County, Ohio, the home county of Chief Jus- tice Taft, when the mayor of the vil- lage of North College Hill fined Ed Tumey $100 on a charge of unlawfully possessing intoxicated liquor and or- dered him imprisoned until the fine anel costs were paid. By an ordinance of the village of North College Hill it was provided that the mayor “shall receive or retain the amount of his costs in each case, in addition to his regular salary, as compensation for hearing such cases.” But, the Su- preme _Court pointed out through Chief Justice Taft, “no fees or costs in such hearings are paid him, ex- cept by the defendant if convicted.” Only Few Involved. The attorneys for Tumey, app®l- ing through various courts, raised the question as to whether his constitu- tional rights as guaranteed by the “due process” clause of the fourteenth amendment had not been violated. And the Supreme Court decided that, although States may stimulate prose- cutions for crime by offering rewards to those who initiate and carry out such prosecutions and may offer a percentage of fines to informers, no matter what the evidence was against Tailred | this defendant in this case, and even | though he were convicted, neverthe | less, “*he had the right to have an im | partial judge.” The case just decided by the Su-| to Your Own Measurements Mr. T.

An inspection of the woolens incurs no obligation—and, if Mr. Davis can be of serv- ice we shall be glad. The opinion of Chief Justice Taft draws attention to certain minor courts of Virginia which receive one half of the usual fees where there is {an acquittal, but on the whole it con- {tends that a review of the State laws {indicates that only in Arkansas, Ken | tueky, Nebraska, North Carolina, | Georgia, Ohio and Texas is the prac {tice prevalent of allowing inferior judges no compensation except by fees collected of the convicted defend ant, although at one time the pra tice prevailed in Indiana, Oregon, Hiinois and Alabam Thus, at the Department of Justice, | and among leading attorneys of Princ Georges County and Montgomery | Coun Md., and Arlington County and Fairfax County, Va., it is said that as far as these nearby State re- gions are concerned the decision will have no effect at changing procedure. | Police Judge Harry Thomas of Ar- lington County points out that there is no fee system at all in effect in that county, the judicial officers being paid directly without regard to acquittal or conviction of those brought before them. At the oftice of Wilson Farr in Fairfax County, it is pointed out that the magistrate gets his fee whether there is conviction or acquittal, since the State pays in the latter instance. Arthur Peter, jr. in Montgomery County, stated that there was no fee system in effect there, and Harry F.
