They are 5 per cent Cl;lneu government bonds, issue of 1930. The money for their purchase was provided by Dr. Sze's brother, Thomas Stze, a graduate of Central in the class of 1901.

RECTOR'S DUEL REFUS'L IS UPHELD IN HUNGARY Minister Boycotted by Club of Town Following Action Makes Appeal to Official. BUDAPEST (#)—The dueling code of Hungary was given another blow recently when the lord lieutenant of the County of Pest upheld Rev. Dr. Alexander Veoros, rector of the Prot- | estant community, in a refusal to fight. The minister, who is also director of a high school, had been boycotted by the Gentry Club of the town of Kun{:‘em.m\klos. He appealed to the icial. The hearing developed that the chi lenge had come from one of Dr. Veoros' colleagues, whose wife was offended by remarks made by the rector's sister. The lord lieutenant said it was ridiculous to try to force a duel upon one who was forbidden by his religion to use arms against his neighbor, espe- fit‘i when he was also a teacher of Motor Cycles in Antarctic, { Maj.

BY REGINALD SWEETLAND. By Cable to The Star. SHANGHAI, China, May 8.—Amid scenes of sober enthusiasm President Chiang Kai-Shek today presented the provisional constitution to the assem- bled delegates for deliberation at the people’s convention at Nanking. Little opposition is expected from the dele- gates, a majority of whom are Presi- dent Chiang’s men. The constitution provides for the gerpeul-unn of the present five- ranch system of government, headed by a president, though it is not specified how the president should be elected or what his term of office should be, supported by an “appropriate number of state councillors,” whose elec- tion or appointment is likewise vague. The only hint of national suffrage comes from the article dealing with provincial governments, providing that “when com- plete district autonomy is attained the citizens thereof shall exercise the powers of election, recall, initiative and referen- dum, -and may also elect one Tepre- sentative for the people's congress.” ‘The bill of rights grants freedom of speech, ccnsclence and press, exce) in times of national emergency, whit in truth, is more common than unusual. Concerning education, the document provides that Dr. Sun Yat-Sen's three principles “shall bs the fundamental principles of the country’s education. All children of school age shall receive an_elementary education.” ‘The present constitution, if adopted, is expected to grow into a permanent constituticn when the gflod of political tutelage ends in 1935.
