THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MARCH 27, 1927—PART 1. CHINESE DEPORTING IS HESSE'S THREAT \ {Temporary Peace Reigns as Police Push Probe for Waiter’s Slayer. Just as a temporary peace W brought about amony W Chinese last night with decls of a truce until noon today, Supe! intendent of Police Edwin B. He: issued an_ultamatum to the Hip Sing and On Leong factions that recur- Yences of any disorder in Washing- ton would produce an immediate re- quest upon the State Department for deportation of leaders and pal ticipants as undesirable alien The 24-hour truce between the Warring factions in_ New York ‘brought quiet to the Chinese colony here last night, relieving for a time the high nervous tension, following the killing of Lem Chong, a waiter, at his place of employment in the Canton Pagoda restaurant, 1343 B stresi, Friday afternoon. Permanent Pact Sought. The truce went into effect at noon yesterday. It will continue until noon today. It was arranged with the na- tional tong leaders to give them an opportunity of ironing out dificulties 80 that, another general armistice of more permanent character may be entered into. Chief Hesse last night instructed detectives to inform leaders of both the On Leong and Hip Sing aggrega- tions that he would tolerate no further disorders here without taking drastic action. Deportation was held out as the strongest weapon in the hands of the authorities. Dispute Over Body. Meanwhile, however, police pressed fruitlessly forward on the in- vestigation of the murder of Lem Chong, becoming more bewildered at each progressive step in the probe, conflicting claims for the body of the murdered man were being pressed by the rival organizations here. Hip Sing claims Chong as its son. Bo does On Leong. Hip Sing points to the tissue paper pages in books of membership showing his name in- scribed on the membership roll, al- though his financial obligations have not been met for several years. And ¥ On Leong on the wall of the temple points with pride to the name of Chong, in character writing as is customary, showing his visit of de- Votion at the New Year season, when &ll members visit the shrine. Conference Is Held. For more than an hour yesterday afternoon Attorney James A. O'Shes representing the Hip Sing organiza- tion, with C. H. James and Lew Toy, leaders of the Hip Sings, were in con- ference with Inspector Henry G. Pratt, chief of detectives and Detec- tive Bdward J. Kelly, who with De- tectives Joseph Waldron and Thomas Sweeney, has been investigating the murder. After the conference Attorney O'Shea indicated that he was pre to start a court fight to ob- in the custody of the body of the murdered man for the Hip Sings. ‘Th! it is promised, will be hotly contested by the On Leons organ- ization. Police in Maze. Police admittedly ploughed deeper into a maze ot bewildering intricacies as they advanced in their probe of Chong’s death. Unable to ascertain finally whether he was a member of the On Leong or the Hip Sing organi- zation, they admitted inability as a result’ to point to the organization % which might harbor the hostile killer. Further, they declared, there is no evidence yet uncovered, beyond the expert method employed by the killer and the fact that hostilities between the tongs had been resumed Friday, * that the death was not the result of * mnother a skunk & personal enmity. As the investigation got under way, Bhe first indication was that the de ceased belonged to the On Leong tong, since several of the members of he Canton Pagoda firm, by whom e was employed, were members of ghat organization. But as they delved further, the in- estigators were confronted by state- | En'-l from Hip Sing leaders to the foct that the deceased some 18 years ‘was still regarded as a member.

(Continued from First_ before the personality of Gov. Smith. “And yet—through all this tribute,” continues Mr. Marshall, “there is a | note of doubt, a sinister accent of in | terrogation, not as to intentional rec- titude and moral purposes, but as ‘to certain conceptions which your fellow citizens attribute to you as a loyal and consclentious Roman Catholic, which, in their minds, are irreconcil- able with that Constitution which as | President you must support and de- fend, and with the principles of civil and religious liberty on which Ameri- { can institutions are based. “To this consideration no word of | yours, on your bebalf, has been ad- dressed.” Says Cannot Avoid Issue. Mr. Marshall says that undoubtedly a large part of the public would glad- |1y avoid a discussion of the religious issue. “Yet, to avold the subject is to neglect the profoundest interests in our national welfare,” he adds. The time is ripe, Mr. Marshall s and the occasion opportune for a declaration, if it can be made, that shall clear away all doubts as to the reconcilability of her status (the Catholic Church) with American con- utional principles. With such a statement the only question as to your proud eligibility to the presidential office would disap- pear, and the doubts of your fellow citizens not of the Roman Catholic Church would be instantly resolved in your favor,” the letter Mr. Marshall obviously is disregard- ing the prohibition issue and declar- ing that the religious is the deciding factor so far as Gov. Smith is con- cerned. Quotes Letter of Pope Leo. Admitting that Gov. Smith, or another Catholic, could and would discharge his oath of office “with- ab- solute fidelity to his moral standards, Mr. Marshall asks Gov. Smith whether those moral standards, which he says differ from those of men not belonging to the Catholic Church, would agree with the standards set up by the Con- stitution and American institutions. In support of his contention that the moral standards of Catholics differ essentially from those of all men not of the Roman Catholic Church, Mr. Marshall says: “They (the moral standards of the Catholics) are derived from the basic political doctrine of the Roman Catho: lic Church, asserted against repeated challenges for 1,600 years, that God has divided all power over men be tween the secular state and that church. Thus, Pope Leo XVIII, in his encyclical letter on ‘The Christian Constitution of States,’ says: ‘The Almighty has appointed the charge of the human race between two pOWers, the ecclesiastical and the civil, the one being set over divine, and the other over human things.’ Mr. Marshall draws the deduction that, as power over human affairs not given to the state by God, is given by God to the Roman Catholic Church, no other churches or religious or ethical socletles have in theory any direct power from God and are with- out direct divine sanction. Says Others Are Tolerated. He quotes Pope Pius IX in his syllabus of 1864, as saying: “To hold that natlonal churches, withdrawn from the authority of the Roman Pontiff and altogether sep- arated, can be established, is an Other churches, Mr. Marshall con- tends, are tolerated in the state, not by right but by favor, from the Catholic, way of thinking. Of Gov. Smith, Mr. Marshall asks: “Whether such favors can be accepted in place of rights by those owning the of freemen "a![)nlztunuing the doctrine of the “Two Powers,” the church and state, Mr. Marshall Insists that many questions must arfse between the state and the Roman Catholic Church in which it is impossible to determine to the satis- faction of both in which jurisdiction the matter at issue lies. He sees in this situation the “{rrepressible con- flict.” Again he quotes Pope Pius IX in the syllabus as saying: “To say in the case of conflicting laws enacted by the two powers the civil law prevails, is error.” Mr. Marshall continues: 2 “The education of youth, the insti- tution of marriage, the international relations of the state and its domestic peace, are in certain exigencies wrested from the jurisdiction of the state, in which all citizens share, and confided to the jurisdiction of a single religious soclety in which all citizens cannot share, great numbers being excluded by the barriers of religious belief. Do you, sir, regard such claims as tolerable in a republic that calls itself free?” Refers to Marlborough Annulment. Mr. Marshall quotes from the encyclical letter of Pope Leo XIIT on Catholicity in the United States, as follow: “It would be very erroneous to draw the conclusion that in America is to be sought the type of the most desir- able status of the church.” And Mr. Marshall adds: “The modern world re- poses in the comfortable reflection that the severance of the church and state has ended a long and unhappy conflict, when the same Pope calls our attention to the error of supposing ‘that it would be universally lawful or expedient for church and state to be as in America, dissevered and di- vorced.’ " Mr. Marshall refers to the cele- brated Marlborough annuiment case, in which the Roman Catholic Church granted an annulment after the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough had been married in this country in the Epis- copal Church 25 years earlier and then SMITH INJECTS RELIGIOUS ISSUE IN CAMPAIGN divorced in the English courts. This he considered an undue assumption of power by the Catholic Church. Cites Mexican Situation. He refers, too, to the Mexican situa- tion, in which the present govern ment has acted against ihe Catholic Church. He calls attention to the opinion of Willlam D. Guthrie, pre- pared ay the request, he says, of the Roman 'Catholic Hierarchy of Ame ica, and in that opinion Mr. Guthr says there are “many historical prec dents of action on the part of the C countries which would abundantly support a protest or re- monstrance, and even armed inter- vention, at the present time in Mexico, in order to assure the Mexican people religious liberty.” “It is the voice of that church that speaks to America by the American hierarchy,” says Mr. Marshall, “in the words of its distinguished counsel in the Mexican situation; and vour fellow citizens are concerned to in- quire what authority you ascribe to that voice.” . Would Welcome Disclaimer. In conclusion, Mr. Marshall sa that nothing would be of greater sati faction to the fellow citizens of Gov. Smith than a disclaimer by him of the convictions “here imputed,” or such an exposition by othe; questions presented “as may jus turn public opinion in your favor. It is doubtless true, however, that many persons will be opposed o Gov. Smith as a presidential candidate on religious grounds, no matter what his answer to Mr. Marshall’s letter may be. The New York World, commenting editorially on the Marshall letter, says: “The big obstacle to his (Gov. Smith’s) nomination and, in the event he is nominated, to his election, is that he is a Catholic. That issue wilj have to be met. It is imperative that it be met at once, for if things slide along much longer there is a danger it cannot be met at all. The Marshall letter gives Gov. Smith his chance.” FLORIDA TRAGEDY as of other SECRECY SHROUDS OTOR WAR PLANS |Ford, General Motors and Independents Prepare as Fight Looms. v y the Asso Press. ernment of the United States as well | B the Assoclated Press. DETROIT, March 26.—As the approaches when the long rumored war within the motor indus try is expected to be brought into the open, leaders in the industry continue to observe a tight lipped silence re. specting their plan: | "In the meantime by the ebb and flow of the market | speculate in all directions regarding the next move of the principals. Of the three prime factors in the rumored war—the Ford organization, the General Motors Corporation and the independents—from only the lat- ter has there come a statement upon which might be placed the stamp of officiality. Willlam (. Durant, a manufacturer in the independent field which in- cludes concerns affiliated neither with the Ford organization nor the General Motors, announced that he shortly I reveal plans for a move that will rival anything in his already sen- sational career within the motor in- dustry. Speculation on Durant. Speculation regarding Durant’s plans is rife, but the most presistent rumor is that he will withdraw from Wall Street and again take up an active role in the manufacturing end of the automobile busine: Rumor has it he plans a new low priced car, the product of a combine on which he is reported to have been working for more than a year. Whether the re- ported combine contemplates a merger of the four factories in which Durant is now interested—the Flint, Durant, Star and Locomobile—with other in- dependent companies, is 4 matter of much speculation. One report has it the Contlnental Motors along with a number of other companies thus far not mentioned in published reports, | perioa persons affected 1S BAFFLING CASE Double Murder Was Preced- ed by Fight—Roomer Wanted as Witness. By the Associated Press. MIAMI, Fla., March 26.—With the finding of the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Nevers, dead for 10 days in their home here, police and county officers were enmeshed today in the tangled skein of one of the most baf- fling murder mysteries ever recorded here. The two bodies were found last night. Police believe the couple were béaten te death with a hatchet after they had eaten breakfast on the morning of March 16. A copy of a newspaper found in the living room was dated March 15. C. H. Collins, a roomer at the Nevers home, whose business card reads "9309 Mack Avenue, Detroit, Mich.,” is sought by the police. They believe he can aid in clearing up the case. Deputy Sherift J. B. Cone, recon- structing the incidents surrounding the murder, believes that an argu- ment was started at the breakfast table and that this argument led to a fight. Furniture in the bungalow was disarranged during what appears to have been a terriffic struggle. After killing the man and woman their slayer dragged Nevers' body with a rope around the neck, to a closet and closed the door against it. He then placed the woman, Mrs. Anna Nevers, in a chair in her bedroom, locking the door from the outside. The murdered man was 45 years old and his wife was 42 Nevers came to Miami about four years ago from Chicago, and Collins has been living at his home since about January 1, police were told. Police were at first baffled by failure to obtain identification of the man's body. Tt was at first believed that the body was that of Collins. Positive | identification was made later by a friend, who said he knew both men and that Collins is a much larger and heavier man. Girl Writes Upside-Down. Left-handed in everything except sewing, Nellle Apps, a thirteen-year- old girl of Colford, England, is call- ed the “mystery girl” because she reads a book head upside-down and writes backward unless directed by her teachers.

Neither the Ford organization nor the General Motors executives com- mented regarding Durant’s contem- plated move. While a number of in- dependent producers have pleaded ignorance of the former General Motors executive's plans, some have given it as their opinion no large mergers among independents are im- pending. Of the Ford Cos plans for the rumored war, no official statement has been issued. Hosts of financial writers have attempted vainly a peek at the trick bag of the enigmatic Ford. But Ford is reported to keep his plans locked in his own brain and thus far he has given out no in- formation regarding them for public consumption. New Fords Rumored. Of the numerous plans attributed to the Ford Co., one which is given more than ordinary credence is that it soon will announce a revised price schedule on the light car it now has on the market, this to be followed later by the introduction of a new four-cylindered machine, with an air cooled motor and a changed trans- mission. The new car, it is reported, will be in the lower-priced class. ‘Within a few months, according to these reports, Ford will be on the open market with a second new car, this an eight-cylindered machine of the middle-priced variety. The General Motors Corporation, third factor in the rumored war for supremacy, has been equally reticent regarding plans. Indications, how ever, are that the corporation will stand with its present line of cars. General Motors now has a total of seven passenger machines on the market and a host of trucks and ac- cessories. Its light car, the Chevrolet, at present, is the leading seller in its field, which previously was dominated by Ford. General Motors is understood to take the position that the phenomenal success of their product was not caused by added demand, but on the contrary was due to the process of “cutting in” on their competitors’ business. Respectng the relative positions of the three principal groups only the sratus of the Ford organization is not a matter of public record. Hnge Reserve Reported. By reason of the tremendous sale of its products heretofore, however, the company is conceded to be solidly in- trenched. The company is owned completely by the Ford family and its stock is not listed on the open market. Ford is reported to have been si- lently retrenching for the past year and a half and to have piled up an enormous cash reserve. No production figures have been issued during that time and this fact had led to the re port that the plants were being alter- ed for the installation of a new line of machinery for the production of new types of cars. The plants have been operating on a part-time basis during this reported alteration.

BOARD WILL URGE SINCLAIR ACQUITTAL Policeman Expected to Be Cleared of Charges Made by Woman. of mail The report of the police trial board, which yesterday heard the case of Policeman Raymond V. Sinclair of the First Prec 4 ith “conduct unbecoming will om- mend exoneration for the officer when presented to Maj. Idwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police, tomorrow, it was authoritatively but unofficially re ported last night. Sinclair recently was sued for $50,000 for an alleged false arrest of Mrs. Dorothy M. Smith, wife of Her- bert Smith of the Taylor Motor Co, who was taken to the station house February 21 and charged with operat- n automobile with dealers’ tags. . Smith was released later without her name being recorded on the books and the civil suit followed. The police charge grew out of the same hap- pening. Sinclair yesterday based his defense of the charge placed against him on the ground that he carried out the suggestion of his superior officer, Capt. J. R. Bean. The policeman said he “let Mrs. Smith off” when Capt. Bean, after a conference with M mith, suggested that a ‘‘gentleman’s agree- ment” be reached. Capt. Bean substantiated the pri- vate's testimony, stated that he had known Mr. Smith for several years, that he had knowledge of Mrs. Smith’s delicate health and decided it would be all right if Mrs. Smith un- derstood the regulations and would not drive the car again with the dealer’s tags. Poligeman R. Eggleston, W. J. Kearns, R. 8. Bryant and A, D, Mans- field testified to Sinclair's actions in the station house, all declaring him to have been most courteous. Both Mr. and Mrs. Smith stated that Sin- r had detained her at the station without placing any charge against her and that no favors were asked of the captain. The hearing yesterday was at the sixth precinct station before Capts. Ira Sheets, Martin Reilly and William E. Sanford companies not announce large profits . most of them are de- clared to have shown good earnings and to have surpluses on hand. General Motors has just concluded its record year in which sales of more than $1,000,000,000 were announced along with net profits of $187,000,000. Most of its plants now are reported running at capacity. The Chevrolet plant at Flint, Mich., last month re- ported production of more than 90,000 machines, and this month cars at the rate of 4,500 a day are being turned out. The March schedule for the plant calls for 106,000 machines. The plant is working in three shifts. The Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac and other General Motors plants are said to be at the peak of production also. The new Oakland plant, which has just been completed at Pontiac, Mich., is just getting under headwa Approximately 200 cars a day are being turned out there with produc- tion gaining rapidly. The new La Salle car, produced by General Mo- tors, hardly has had time for proper introduction on the open market, but is also reported as making rapid Pprogress. If the rumored plans of Ford ma- terialize, he will be in the field against General Motors and the independen! with the three major types of cars, for the first time during his career ih the automobile business. Previously, | he had been content with the light car field. He would have in the lower price fleld the Ford and the rumored new four-cylindered machine; his re- ported new “eight” in the medium priced class and the Lincoln in the did KING T0 CONTINUE FIGHT OVER HAIT Declares He Will Present Bill to Permit Natives to Hold Election. Senator King of Utah, who ex- ded from Haiti as an “undesirable use he had criticized President Borno and his government, returned to Washington last night ready, he said, to introduce a bill at the next session of Congress to permit the peo- ple of Haiti to hold a popular election and to_adopt a constitution of their own. He will continue his fight for the withdrawal of the American marines now in Haiti. Under the ex- isting treaty arrangement the marines can be kept there until 1936. The Utah Senator sald, too, that he probably would introduce a resolution providing for an inquiry by the for eign relations committee into condi tions in Haiti. He denied, however, that he would take any steps in the Senate with regard to his exclusion by the Haitian government. Denies Matter Is Personal. “This is not a personal matter with me,” sald Senator King. “My exclu: sion, which I feel sure was connived at by our own State Department, is past and gone. What I am anxious to bring about is the withdrawal of American armed forces from that country, so as to permit the people to govern themselves. At present there is little more than a military dictatorship in Haiti, with the United States furnishing the guns and the man_power to keep President Borno in office. It is possible that the United States can give Haiti a government better in some respects than the Hali- tians can give themselv But the point I make is that the Haitians are entitled to govern themselves in any way they desire. “The United States is losing ground and friendship in all Latin America by its policies in Haitl and Nicaragua. No matter what we may say, the peo- ples of the other American republics look upon us as imperialistic.” Criticized Action of 19 Senator King, a Democrat, declared there was no partisanship in his criti- cism of the policy of this country to- ward Haiti. He pointed out that it was in 1915, during the Wilson ad- ministration, that American naval forces were sent into Haiti and prac- tically took over the government of the republic. He critcized that action, he said, as severely as he does the continuance of American marines in Hait}. For years, Senator King said, he did his best to have American forces withdrawn from Santo Domingo, put there during the Roosevelt adminis- tration, and a few years ago they were withdrawn. He Is looked upon by the people of Santo Domingo as a friend and protector. He was given a warm welcome in that country, and many Haitians came to see him there. Senator King said that he would remain in Washington for several weeks, working on two bills which he intends to introduce at the next session of Congress, one for a re- vision of the tariff downward, and the other for a reduction of the Fed- eral taxes. All tariff and revenue bills must origniate in the House, he said, but he planned to offer his bills as amendments to any tariff and rev- enue measures which may be sent to the Senate from the House. .

Mr. Kellogg denled that the Armour Co. had committed any illegal or im- proper practices in the operation of its grain elevators, and declared he would go before the next session of the legislative committee with a re- quest to present evidence in contra- diction to the charges. “Mallory tried to intimidate us about three years ago, by threats of mak- ing these charges public, through the newspapers and otherwise, Kel- logg said in a statement. “We de- nounced his accusations as being to his knowledge false at the time they were made, and told him to proceed as he saw fit, and ordered him out of our office.
